    The reaction to my analysis of My Lunch was great, and you've asked for the follow up so here it is. This Doctor ANALYZES/REACTS video is of the next episode called My Fallen Idol. It covers medical ethics, transparency about errors, alcohol and depression, and whether feeling emotions in medicine can cloud your objectivity.

      I know someone who used to scam IV drugs all the time in the ER by faking a migraine. Because she was wearing high heels and a skirt suit they figured she wasn't an addict. They were wrong.

      I feel you.. I'm on similar boat...and it's been blessing and a curse - I hope I can turn my experience and cognitive bias of others into something valuable for other addicts. I was often perceived as... inauthentic addict, mostly because of how harsh upbringing made me expend significantly more effort into keeping up appearances which made getting help...a prolonged process.
      I hope you are doing well, cheers!

    I think you missed the most obvious reason, she was surprised because he was so candid about his drug use with his small children standing right next to him. It's evident that this is the most likely reason intended by the show because the child has a line immediately after in which he calls his father daddy to indicate he's very young (as opposed to his actual visible age since Hollywood always uses older kids to play younger).

    I work in a drug and alcohol service and obviously there are people who are exactly as you would think and plenty who arent. And when people have recovered sometimes you would literally never know they had been on them. Some people hold down jobs and keep families throughout addiction including to drugs like crack and heroin. And recovery is always possible. But not everyone wants abstinence and its up to them.

      I remember very vividly from my first suicide attempt at 14. I got so scared, made my dad drive me to the hospital( I took two bottles of tylenol before a long drive, i was manic and not thinking clearly). I stumbled into the er and went to the front desk, totally frantic, and told the nurse I had tried to kill myself. She laughed. LAUGHED. And while smirking led me to a room. I ignored it at the time because I was so focused on refusing to die, but if I could go back in time I would ruin her. Ive since been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and have been in and out of rehab. The stigma is so prevelant if you know how to spot it.

    Hi Dr. Elliott,
    I want to thank you for providing your perspective and expertise. This reaction is an interesting intersection of a few of my past experiences. My ex is a psychiatrist, I worked for a couple years then burnt out in medical review/evaluation for recovery and transplantation, my favorite show in my teen years was scrubs. Recently fell on hard times and trying to work my way back to getting on okay with myself. You seem like such a lovely person and watching your videos every so often has helped me reflect on some stuff without causing too much distress.
    Stay cool and take care! 🙏

    Sipping from a glass of ice water will bring your temperature down a lot (1C) quickly. Also, if you are perspiring, a small fan can make an amazing difference (and shouldn't be too noisy for your recording).
    edit: Oh and an off topic tip! I recently went to the hospital with what appeared to be a major heart attack. My pulse was thru the roof and my BP was 195/148. But blood tests and cat scan showed it was not. They had to discharge me (since not life threatening) even tho the pain just laughed at morphine. Turned out to be *a dislocated left rib* over the heart. A small adjustment and the pain dropped 50%.
    But all my upper chest, back, and shoulder muscles were still intensely sore for 4 days. The dislocated rib had caused all those on the left to spasm which caused the ones on the right to spasm (but less).

    Saying that someone's lifestyle shouldn't be considered when transplant is the option is very incorrect. There are a limited number of healthy transplant organs available and they should always go to the person who will be the best case for recovery. Heroin man loses in almost every situation.

    It's a small one but I had a heart attack a few years ago and I am overweight.
    Obviously the first test was for cholesterol, but it is only just in the unhealthy range. They never did confirm what caused it (barring a test that would cost me over $1000) but at least they ruled out my weight and cholesterol as the primary cause.
    Best guess was stress and caffeine causing a minor valve spasm leading to a cholesterol dislodge and rupture.

    It breaks my heart seeing decisions like this being made irl. A close friend was in the hospital for a few months due to liver problems and would have died if it fully failed, because she was addicted to heroin at the time & therefore ineligible for transplant. She's alive and thriving today. Another friend received double lung transplants due to severe cistic fibrosis and died 9 months later. This idea that some people are more valuable than others is dreadful. ANOTHER friend had open heart surgery while being an active heroin user. She did get endocarditis, but 25 years later not only is she a lawyer, but her focus is helping people who have been declined medical aid to get their decisions overturned. You never know. I appreciate this video & what you said about medical bias so much.

      On one hand I very much agree, those criteria are discriminatory. On the other... as was said in House MD, organs for transplants are a rare commodity, and they have to be given to candidates who will use them the most. Statistically. So nothing for a 60 year olds (even though they could live to be 110), nothing for addicts, porn stars, or skydivers.

    • @senatrius1968
      @senatrius1968 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I mean, it's true, you never know. But to give an example, let's say you have 10 patients that need a transplant and you have 3 organs. Waiting for more organs is not an option, the patients who don't get one will die. What metric do you use to decide who gets to live and who will die? Serious question.
      Taking a patient's past into account is not the worst metric to go by. Of course, there are other metrics that could be used like age or family status but none of them are that much better than the other and all of them are discriminatory in one way or another. It sucks but when there are limited resources you work with what you've got. I guess it's a good incentive to have an opt-out organ donation system rather than opt-in, but I digress.

      It's not really a case of "some people are more valuable than others" it's a case of you can only give this 1 heart to 1 person out of 10 that need it. You therefore have a responsibility to choose the person who is going to benifit the most, so you're going to factor in who is the most sick (can they chance waiting for another heart or do they have a reasonable quality of life so far) are they going to waste the gift that so many others need, eg by drinking or destroying it with drug use. How long can they reasonably expect to live, it makes more sense to give one person an additional 15 years vs the person who is unlikely to last 1.
      It's not about who is most important, its about doing the most good possible.

Setting fires is also pretty violent. So I'd say we shouldn't need to worry about what they might become, we should be worried about them right now!

      IIRC, in *some* cases, prolonged bed wetting indicates a disregard for social norms. Obviously, you have to look at the whole picture to know the real cause. But in some cases, bed wetting is not an accident. They just don’t give a damn.
      It probably doesn’t apply to most kids who wet the bed, even older kids. It’s just if the kid shows other signs of defiant or dangerous behavior.

Season 3 has a string of episodes delving into the characters' psyche: Contemporary Impressionists is a good one to start on because you've got both Jeff being told that, as a narcissist, he shouldn't be taking anti-anxiety meds, and Troy who's trying to be a good friend to Abed, who has autism, when Abed's actions are putting himself in danger. Then if you're ready for a deep-dive into Abed's psyche, Virtual Systems Analysis is a brilliant, sad episode about the simulations he runs in his head to understand the world and his place in his friend group.

You can support them as much you like they’ve got to make the decision to get help and stay on the path. Still in the end you beat yourself over every interaction thinking with just one word difference maybe they’d still be here, on the other side you get so angry at them for not making that step.

    As someone with trich and OCD, while it was sometimes is related to anxiety, similar to OCD compulsions, I often find it isn't. Sometimes I'm compelled for no reason other than I feel the need to pull and sometimes it just feels sort of relaxing. Like I've sat and pulled almost subconsciously while watching tv in the past. It was previously categorised as an impulse control disorder in the DSM and then in DSM V was changed to an OCD related disorder, I feel like its true nature lies somewhere in between. It's a bit like people who bite their nails, sometimes it is related to anxiety but sonetimes they just do it because they like the feeling or sensation of it.

      "sometimes they just do it because they like the feeling or sensation of it."
      Yes! I have dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking). Sometimes I pick when I'm anxious, but I also pick because I don't want to feel the "bump"--I want my skin to "feel smooth"--if that makes any sense. Dermatillomania was barely added to the DSM in 2013, so not a lot of doctors or therapists know about it or how to treat it. Doctors are more likely to know what trichotillamania is, so I just say it's that but with skin picking.

    Conscious awareness of the ramifications of the decisions we make… in my opinion is still fear. Coming from a veteran with over a half decade in combat I’d say that ER/Trauma room nurses and doctors is probably pretty close. If I had made the wrong call (which I did), it doesn’t save someone’s life, same thing for those trauma professionals. We both lost a life even though we were on two different ends of care. I never wanted to make a decision that caused me to lose one of my guys, I’m sure they feel like this with every patient.

    I can't remember which episode but a reoccurring doctor would notice the x-ray is put on wrong and flips it. And iirc I think it stays fixed for the rest of the series. Always love seeing Scrubs.
    It's scary dealing with doctors who stereotype you, even though you come to them as a patient. I dealt with that with my previous GP. Due to the BMI, I'm considered obese and my doctor didn't really listen to me, she'd just tell me to lose weight. Despite the fact bmi is inaccurate, you can be fat and healthy, skinny and unhealthy, and that weight isn't indicative of your health. Which my GP used to say. Then she went back on her word, don't know if it's because of me becoming pre-diabetic or because of whatever is going on with her (could be both). I'm looking for a new GP, one that'll listen and not be biased against my weight. So far my current GP is good so far, and I'm hoping it'll stay that way

      You just made me think of something, when you said "because of whatever is going on with her". What if it's the medical provider's projection? Like they have unresolved feelings about weight, in a society that's obsessed with it, so they project it onto their patients? Aka, it has absolutely nothing to do with you or me.
      This happens a LOT in medicine, where people aren't listened to because of their weight, to the point that people aren't diagnosed/misdiagnosed/die because their symptoms were dismissed. Also happens with race, sex, various other forms of ableism, so there's a lot of unconscious (and sometimes conscious) biases going on. But from what I understand, weight dismissal almost feels personal - like they have a personal problem with you. What if it's because they internalized weight messages and then project that onto patients?
      I hope your current GP stands the test of time. You deserve good healthcare.

Are you able to install window units?

I cant be refused anything or be treated different for it. I wont have to work ever. Ill just do drugs all day every day because im the victim of my own choices. Then ill pretend to get my life together ever few years and constantly come in and out of my child's life. So the child will be emotionally scarred and has a higher chance he does what i do also and continue this cycle.

    I think it was perfectly justifiable to refuse a transplant to that individual due to excessive drug use.
    He was a four time rehab failure and even by the end it’s presented that he may have relapsed again.
    Based on patient history, he more than likely will simply destroy that gift with more drug use. That gets even deeper when you look at universal health care.
    I’m a huge proponent of freedom. But that freedom comes with the burden of responsibility and accountability. I also suffer from alcoholism, anxiety, and depression caused by my 21 years of military service Nd 57 months off combat operations as an infantryman.
    While I have my drinking under control now, had I continued to be a substance abuser, I feel it would have been prudent for me to be denied a liver transplant if they need arose. Choices have consequences and the individual is responsible for them, not the medical system or other tax payers (if universal health care is available).
    I think Turk covered it in a later episode when he and Dr Cox butted heads over a transplant issue. In that episode, I feel like Turk made a bad decision by refusing the transplant. (The patient had been on the transplant list for several years and his ONLY disqualifying act was having one glass of wine at his daughters wedding).
    But regardless, Turk’s comment on the reason he declined it was a good one. He looks at the organ as a gift. Something that is desperately needed and is rarely given. So, in his mind, that is so precious he needs to be responsible in who receives it.

      They’re two separate things in America, but it’s not uncommon for people here to think a psychologist and psychiatrist are the same thing. There’s been multiple instances where I’ve been talking about my psychiatrist to a colleague, friend, etc., and realized halfway through the conversation they thought we were discussing psychotherapy/therapy sessions. Granted, I live in a state with a severe lack of mental health services, especially psychiatrists, so maybe there just haven’t been enough opportunities for people to learn the difference. Maybe the Scrub writers don’t know/don’t care either? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything good; anything I should know about? Any life-changing events occur? Great, see you in two months." I mean, my psychiatrist is great, don't get me wrong. But there's definitely a shortage of mental health professionals in my state (especially in my county) and it shows. I have to go to a completely different practice and professional for therapy. I'm not sure it's any different in the surrounding states though; it might just be this part of the country too.

      As I understand it, not all psychiatrists (who are medical doctors specializing in brain interactions/etc. with meds, which is why they can prescribe and monitor meds) will opt to also go into the counseling/therapy side of things. I, too, see a separate counselor for my therapy while the psychiatrist handles my meds.

I've had to live knowing that possibly have some damage from covid -- and aside from addiction there are so many other reasons that they discriminate against these surgeries in the US especially. For me it's that my genetics aren't tops, so they'll give it to someone who will treat it better via their genetics. Although this case of blaming and shaming due to drug use is also common, in the US since it's all money driven they also use every form of other excuse to discriminate and also let people pay to jump the line and find ways to hide that.

    Hey Doc I just want to say thank you
    We lost our dog tonight (it was her time to go)
    And although we had been preparing, it still leaves a pit in the stomach and a hole in the heart. Everywhere I look there is something that makes me think of her or something that makes it seem like she should still be here (like her food/water bowl stand, the carpets we put down to help her get traction and be able to walk since her hind legs started weakening, a bandana we forgot about and would have buried her with, her empty spot on the couch, etc.)
    We're in so much pain. I'm the only one still awake bc I used to take the night shift taking care of her and it feels wrong to go to be early (by early I mean before 3 or 4 AM, or 6 or 7 AM on worse nights). I can't bring myself to do much at the moment
    But I usually like your videos so I put this new one on. Something funny from a familiar TH-camr
    Thanks for keeping me company and distracting me
    Gonna talk to my actual therapist tomorrow! Gotta do that when you lose one of your best friends who you met at 8 years old and has been with you nearly 16 years
    Yep this sucks gonna go back to watching the video now

I have parents and siblings. And like I said I do have a therapist. Even my bosses/close coworkers have offered their support in their friendly-yet-professional capacity
