Doctor Reacts To The Most Bizarre Onion Medical Headlines
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2020
- I had so much fun reacting to medical headlines from The Onion 6 months ago, so I decided to do it again! Beyoncé getting a surgery to look like her character from The Lion King, Rob Gronkowski playing as a bionic man, being truthful with your OBGYN, treatments for cancer and Alzheimers… The Onion truly holds nothing back. Remember, The Onion is a SATIRICAL newspaper, meaning none of this is real.
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

“I am an auditory listener” wow that is so unexpected...
this deserves more likes
Did you even listen to what he said. He said he can do things while listening to audio books 🤦😂
why is that a suprise
@@coffeeaddict2122 he said auditory listener, because you can't be any other listener. he meant auditory learner
@@arielnicole3412 lmao im aware of that.. im trying to explain this video to the "visual listeners" 😂 i literally just quoted him mike.
As a vegan with a standing desk, I can confirm that I forgot the question.
Okay but we talk to the doctor about being vegan because we wanna see if we're healthy. Why is he acting like we just bring it up for fun???
@@claralowe5160 I believe it’s a long running cultural meme, an offshoot of the extremely overused “how do you know if someone’s vegan? Don’t worry They’ll tell you”. In honesty I don’t think Dr. Mike would be against it, but given the funny nature of the video jokes will be made.
That being said, it’s a boring played out joke. I hope people start coming up with jokes that are at least interesting for us vegans.
He was sharing his experiences.
Lol
@@TheFinalMB I don't think the jokes are meant to be funny for vegans.
“You will still eventually die”
Oh man, I feel cheated, I thought a standing desk would make me immortal.
You're mixing up standing desks with essential oils
You're mixing it up with bear licking you
bear is too powerful
Time to return it 😤
"You'll still eventually die"
"yeah, that's true"

Anyone else notice he said he's an "auditory listener" when talking about audio books? Honey, we're all auditory listeners I think you mean learner 😂
Dunno what the hell you're talking about, I listen with my feet.
Dunno what the hell your talking about. I listen with my knee caps
I was literally just going to say this
👌searched for this comment
@M 40 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aspirin is a brand name as well. You know, kind of like how Kleenex or Band-Aid are brand names. Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) is the medication's name.
Apparently so is weed whacker. Has nothing to do with medicine...but its interesting...
@@polycatmagic1236 It's also interesting that "Weed Whacker" and "Weed Eater" (while both brand names) do not technically even refer to the same utensil... Even though they're both used almost interchangeably today... and (only slightly more disturbing) both utensils actually DO still exist.
Dubiously on the medicine front, Acetylsalicylic Acid was originally derived from Salicae from the willow family of trees... BUT laboratories have since discovered and refine the process so that it's cheaper and quicker to derive from menthol oil available in more plentiful quantities from several species of the Mint family of plants today... ;o)
“There is commitment to acting, and then there is becoming a real lion, and between that there is a medical line that should not be crossed”
Dr Mike just described “Cats” 2019
Oof
Oof
I just reached this comment when he said this
I was thinking the exact same thing.
That was also a line the SFX team should have refused to cross. But this is the same director who refused Hugh Jackman water and food for 36 hours so that he'd be "more realistic" for Les Mis.
How come they have disposable stethoscopes 🤔 I didn’t know they throw them away
If that patient has a specific infection like C.diff we try not to use that stethoscope for anyone else to limit the spread of the infection.
because normal ones costs so much moneyyyy

Dr. Mike: "I'm an auditory listener"

AHAHAHAH
He meant auditory learner. :P
*Me whose very existence transcends the human understanding of space and time and listens through my left big toe*
I'm more of a visual watcher.
🕷️: I listen with my legs. (But I'm not sure that sentence alone leads to the ears, if auditory just comes from hearing) ok, i guess i did not understand your comment
Your bee whoop sounded like a bark! 🐶🤣
Plot twist: IT WAS A VOICEOVER BY BEAR!
@@joannamysluk8623 💀🤣🤣 Of course it was! 🤦🏻♀️ what was I thinking? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In nursing school, they taught us to ask patients "what is your understanding of your illness/condition/etc?" which seems somewhat similar to your question about what they're theory is.
"I can't believe people take Onion headlines seriously." Proceeds to get really worked up about Onion comments.

Oh my gosh, this would be hilarious!
amazing idea.
Dr Mike: it's satirical, we as humans should laugh more.
Also Dr Mike: getting worked up explaining
Lol

Mike: “When I’m driving to the hospital”
Me: Oh no what happened!
Me a minute later: Oh wait-
To be fair, I’ve never heard a doctor say “I’m going to the hospital” to describe going to work.
Kinda like me and my job. I work at a preschool, so a lot of times I say "When I get to school" meaning my workplace, not a place I actually attend classes LOL.
Dr Mike: “...Encourages more natural spine curvature...”
Me who already has severe scoliosis: :0
Yup, same with me along with other back issues. I have terrible posture, and I know it, but standing completely straight is actually painful on my back. I also don't sit in chairs without backs or with the kind with holes if I can help it. And when I'm working at home I split my time between the desk and laying on my bed working.
Oh my god that must be painful sorry to hear that..hope you are staying healthy
@@dragonofmordor omg that sounds painful and sad..I feel sorry for you..hope you are staying healthy
@@priyushavallabhaneni8654 Sometimes yes, but I've learned to manage. I know what workout stuff I can do safely for my back (although it is harder right now with COVID because swimming used to be my go-to).
Sway back, back pain caused by a car accident and deformed hips here. Standing tit long periods for me is just as bad as sitting for long periods. The thing that alleviates the pain for me is to move. I work from a laptop and I migrate from room to room sitting in various positions. If I do that, it doesn't hurt. Only hurts if I stay immobile. Personally think standing desks are a dumb fad
"I'm an auditory listener"
Well, I for one listen with my eyes.
I laughed out loud at this thank you😂😂😂
Osmosis is the best way to learn.
Well studies show that we listen through skin. Idk how much truth is in that reasearch.
@@henrytawnn8694 but would it not diffuse out at some point? (Unless the transporter molecules are somewhat unidireccional for that learning stuff)
I actually pay better attention to information if I can read it through texts, captions, written information, etc. If I'm just listening to a lesson or story, then I'm way more likely to space out. I pay attention better if people write things out for me.
I love how he pointed out “window defroster” as a career, but none of the other nonsensical ones.
Or the unemployed guy talking about injecting things.
or the orca washer

I feel like an important difference needs to be highlighted: Generic medications are CHEMICHALLY identical.
I was on Concerta for my ADHD in my first few years of University. In my third year I started REALLY struggling and falling behind and failed two classes. I found out just a few years ago after I switched away from Concerta to try something else that gave me mood swings and wasn't working, that apparently pharmacies will just switch you to the generic with out your consent unless specified by your doctor. Only problem with the generic Concerta is that it is NOT time release like the brand name is. So what happened was the generic would dump all my medication into my system, it would work but be run out of my system by the time I got to my later classes. I am now back on Concerta and my GP has assured me that she will ALWAYS put no subs on my Concerta prescriptions.
Too bad my failure in my third year university led to a whole bunch of self-esteem issues by making me feel like a I was a moron. >:(
Truth. Our daughter has epilepsy and takes antiseizure medications. One of her medications tends to be on the shortages list, so they were giving us whatever generic they could get. Turns out that due to differences in the other ingredients, she absorbed/metabolized them a different rates - one brand would make her blood levels be sky-high, and the next it would crash even when they were the same dosage. It was resulting in break-through seizures! So we had to pick one brand and tweek the dosage and then have doc write a NO SUBSTITUTIONS order for it.
If they're different in any way they shouldn't be treated as the same medicine because of stuff like this.
"Inactive ingredients" my ass, the ingredients didn't get the memo

@@leonardoledesma6490 maybe?
Except in Miami...
Props to you Doc Mike! Grew up with the onion as a paper newspaper delivered all over Wisconsin, and appreciate anyone with a platform & a sense of humor also appreciating them publically.
Is doctor mike alright?? His “peewop” was different.😭😭😭
i thought i was the only one
I thought so too!
I have a diagnosis! It's a bad case of peewoowoowootosis
I noticed that too! There was more intensity behind it.
If you check it in Google about that he will have cancer
6:51 Dr. Mike: "Is a window defroster a career??"
Me: I am more concerned with the fact that the very next comment 'SATIRICALLY' came from an electroshock therapist and you chose to question window defroster... 😂😂
Don't forget about the orca washer! That was my favorite :D
@@Karla-hs7jv I missed that, thank you for pointing that out! Absolutely brilliant :D (7:20)
electroshock therapists are a real thing though, and despite the bad reputation they get, actually are beneficial to some people!
@@myheartismadeofstars Yes! I'm a psychology major and Electroconvulsive Therapy is not as violent and torturous as it was in the 60s (and before that); the "shocks" that patients receive are at such a low frequency that they don't even really feel anything. This is mainly used to stimulate regions in the brain that cause specific symptoms to occur. Dodie Clark even talked about trying this treatment for her Derealization/Depersonalization Disorder. ECT has been effective in some people with severe psychotic symptoms, extreme dissociation, or even major depressive ones.
@@bigtimefans100 I recommend asking: do people remember after ECT? Which memories are lost? Are they able to drive? A family member by marriage said she received ECT in the 2000s and it seemed the depression improved because she was so disoriented after treatment. Last diagnosis was DID so in the dissociative family.
“You can’t catch me. You can’t catch me.” This absolutely killed me 🤣 5:54
Dr Mike: "The Onion is just a joke."

That's how you hear. Because deaf people listen even though they can't hear.

Deaf people: *Guess I'll just go f*ck myself then...*
2:19 I didn´t know Dr. Mike was an auditory listener. It´s a rare thing in comparison to the visual listener, that shoves their earbuds into their eyes.
a kinesthetic listener of course juggles their earbuds
😂 oh man
Lol
I love how you care about answering the questions patients have deep down..
And i also try to make a theory myself for what is going on with my symptoms and habits, since I started learnings illnesses and medical stuff at the university.
So i really appreciate you saying that. It makes us patients feel respected, listened and more important to you doctors.
I wish every doctor did that.
1:53 When I first heard about the concept of "forgetting how to sit" in an episode of family guy, I found it very silly. Well, meanwhile I have seen patients with dementia who actually lost the concept of sitting down.

The name tag is flipped so patients can't report him. The nurses in the ER by me do it every shift.
But dont you present yourself to the parients?
This is truth
The whole woman trying to give as little information as possible is actually on point because one of the reasons that women get misdiagnosed more often than men is that they explain their symptoms in a 'narrative style'. So not satire, but an actual medical reality for a lot of women in this country.

3:54 "I also ask them, what is their theory."
Wonderful! This is something every doctor should do. The number of times I've walked out of an appointment feeling like I didn't get the chance to say all that needed to be said is uncountable, and I think that one question would fix that completely (and... well who knows, maybe once in a while a patient may actually teach the doctor something; in particular patients with unusual, chronic conditions sometimes end up with more understanding about their condition than most doctors would have).
Omg the asking the patient what they think. My gp/ family doctor (not sure, not american) asked me at the end of 1 of my first visits there if i felt assured by her and if I maybe wanted something else/more. I genuinely cried. Being a mother and having seen lots of doctors and nurses in the 9 years before this happened, i never had a doctor actually ask that. I felt so seen and cared for that i couldnt help but let the tears drop.
Thank you Dr Mike, Dr Bouwer and all doctors like this!
