Doctor Reacts To Nickelodeon Medical Scenes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2021
- I was a BIG Nickelodeon kid in the 90s. I loved the cartoons like Doug, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, so today I say down to look back through my favorite childhood shows to see what kind of medical information there was, and check in to see if things were accurate. What about when Otto broke his leg in Rocket Power? Or when Rocko had appendicitis during Rocko’s Modern Life? I even took a look at more modern shows like The Loud House and Avatar The Last Airbender to see what Nicktoons are up to these days. I couldn’t believe the stuff Jimmy Neutron got up to inside Carl’s head or poor Cosmo’s broken Fagilgli Gland in The Fairly Oddparents. What shows or scenes did I miss? Let me know down below!

Fun fact: the creator of spongebob wasn't just an animator. He was a marine biologist so he actually used that knowledge to make the characters more realistic to their real life counterparts.
Those of us who grew up watching SpongeBob will never get over the fact that their creator passed away.
@@Threeleebird oh didn't know that :(
@@76Kritical buts he was a biologist & elementary teacher too
@@76Kritical ... he literally WAS a marine biologist and the series was loosely based on a comic he made to educate students :V

Teacher not letting you go to the bathroom is messed up, especially when you're that young.
Some kids ask to go to the bathroom just to go play around
@@lilcupc4k3s yeah but most of them have to actually go
@@lilcupc4k3s yeah,so students should be expected to hold it in all day,and only use it when they get home
@@lilcupc4k3s I think it would be better for the kid to mess around than to have an accident in class. Think of how Dr. Mike was when he told the story, no one knew he had an accident and he was still mortified, imagine the bullying the kids that have accidents would go through.
@@literallythefloor5431 I know. But when you have multiple students asking multiple times to go just to play, at some point you tell them to wait or hold it. Plus, for teachers, they might be going over something important or confusing that the student really needs to hear🤷♀️
When I worked at a school, we were told not to let our students go to the bathroom after seeing that some students were having a little art project going on in there. We were told to take group bathroom breaks to monitor them🤷♀️
I like how Patrick’s only reasons for fearing the doctor is old magazines in the waiting room and cold stethoscopes
they didn't want to actually scare kids.

I’m a medical assistant who has worked in ENT with an otorhinolaryngologist in his 70s who used that head mirror. It’s used along with a lamp attached to the exam chair that reflects light into a small spot to examine the ears, nose, and throat. He was so old school and just overall a funny guy, I miss him already and our ENT clinic just closed today 😭 He once said “ENT is like sex, if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right” 🤣
I love yt. Just like "yea I happen to know the answer to that obscure question" 😂
Patrick: "The doctor's office is a horrible, horrible place!"
Doctor Mike: "And i took that personally."
Patrick: **Lists off bogus reasons why going to the doctor is awful**
Mike: *No, no, he's got a point.*
"But we have fun there."

@ that's literally what Dr Mike said!! He said we have fun here. Check it out for yourself. 5:03
Lol
I mean he does have a point reading old magazines is very boring
Fun Fact: That Hey Arnold episode was written so Gerald’s voice actor could continue the role once his voice started deepening due to puberty (and the production staff couldn’t find a suitable replacement for him).
9:53 Catfish wouldn't be in the middle of the ocean. They live in Freshwater and Coastal Waters only.
Maybe it's a tourist from the freshwater cities, and that SpongeBob ignores saltwater and freshwater
In cartoons they live in the middle of the ocean
Bikini Bottoms IS coastal in the show
The thing on Patrick’s head is a concave mirror with a hole in the middle. The doctor lowers it over his eye and looks through the hole and the concave shape of the mirror focuses light at the spot he’s looking at. Nowadays you have flashlights lol
Thank you! 😁🙌
Yep; it was called a head mirror.
They mostly used it in ENT :D
Thank you 😊
Thank youuujj
“Oh no, he has the Suds!” I love how you said that like it’s a valid illness.
Wait wait wait wait wait....its not a valid illness?!
@@thecreatorofthedark there's the bends which is a divers illness. And there's SIDS which is sudden infant death syndrome
It is doe
Wait, Suds isn’t real? Then why did my doctor assault me with a cactus and used me as a toilet cleaning utensil?
4:53 what is interesting about Spongebob in the episode where he becomes sick with the “suds” is that Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob) was actually sick with a cold on that day that they recorded the lines for the episode so, Spongebob is in fact actually sick.
I love how relatable Patrick was when talking about the doctor’s office😂

The doctor disc is called a Head Mirror. From the days where light sources weren't handheld, it's used to reflect a light source onto the patient; the lamp is next to or behind a patient, reflecting of the doctor's head mirror and onto the patient.
THANK YOU. Literally the only reason I went through the comments here was to find one explaining what that thing is😂
So what's the hole for?
@@tommarsdon5644 because when used it is moved to a position in front of doctors eye, so the hole is for doctor to see through it. Look at the picture on the Wikipedia.

Heyyyy Dr.mike, ever since I found your channel ive been binge watching it on a daily. I dont know if your ever going to see this but i really appreciate you taking time to create medical content for us even though your busy. You always make me laugh while being educational....im really pationate about medicine too. I really appreciate you. Your one of the reasons I haven't fallen into depression or a negative thought cycle recently😢. We love you Dr. Mike😭
LOL!!! When he said "Key Throat" that caught off guard, I started laughing nonstop though.

haha same
Yeah
Running on empty food review?
Fun fact: The episode with Gerald's tonsils was actually because Gerald's voice actor, Jamil Walker Smith, was going through puberty and they wanted to explain his voice change without recasting him.
😂 that makes a lot of sense actually
That's very clever. It's always tough when you have kids voicing kids because of this reason.
@flynnmolyneux7574 Not all of them.
@@peyotecowboy3199yes, it would be very odd to use actual children as voice actors on animation. It's either a grown man who can get right up there like Steve Smith's voice actor or it's done by grown women.
That's awesome!
When used properly, the head mirror thus provides excellent shadow-free illumination. Because they were once in common use, notably by general practitioners and endocrinologists, head mirrors are often a stereotypical part of a physician's uniform by costumers and prop men e.g. in comic routines. that is what its for
As an Indian medical student, I'd like to tell you, sir, that mirror thingy is called "head mirror". It's used along with the Bull's eye lamp in routine external auditory canal inspection in the ENT OPs here. But nowadays most of the ENT doctors are slowly starting to use otoscopes instead of the tedious ear pulling and adjusting required to visualise the canal as well as the tympanic membrane using head mirrors.
We missed the episode of spongebob where mr Krabs goes to the hospital and he didn’t have medical insurance so the hospital had the nurse put him in the hallway and eventually he ended up on the sidewalk in front of the hospital before getting kicked down the hill 😂

These cartoons are often more accurate than actual medical dramas, even though they're often doing parodies
Yes! I just wrote "When cartoons produce a better quality conversation about health and well being than adult shows of the medical genre - there's a problem." in a separate comment.
Lookin at you Attaway General
Not necessarily. Have you watched greys anatomy or the good doctor?
They're accurate because you have to know how it would work played straight before you can parody it.
Mike warming up his stethoscope before using it on his patients is so thoughtful.

Nice CF reference! Thank you for the recognition!
The thing that Patrick was wearing on his head that they used to wear back in the day was actually used the cover the doctors hair so blood doesn’t get into the hair or any messes in general because back then they didn’t have Dr. hats that was around 1800s-1904 and then it was until the year 1910 that they started wearing doctor hats, so that’s what it is

It’s called a head mirror
The circular silver thing that doctors used to wear over 20 years ago was called a head mirror. Head mirrors are diagnostic devices that reflect light into a patient's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears to help with exams. They can also be used during surgery to see inside a patient.
To use a head mirror, a doctor swings it down over one eye and peers through the center hole. A lamp is positioned behind the patient, and the mirror reflects and focuses that light on the doctor's eye. Head mirrors are mostly used for examining the ear, nose, and throat.
Basically we didn't have super high efficiency LED lights back in the day.
7:36. When I was in the hospital with RSV and, from what I thought in my position, at least a pound of mucus lol, I had one of those thumping beds and would always say "aaaaaaaaa" to hear my vibration and make myself laugh because my humor is broken :)
Dr. Mike losing his cool over the “doctor thing on the head” is just hilarious. Possibly the best part of the video 😹

@@mygoditsfullofstars8599 A head mirror is mostly used for examination of the ear, nose & throat. It comprises a circular concave mirror, with a small hole in the middle, and is attached to a head band. The mirror is worn over the physician's eye of choice, with the concave mirror surface facing outwards and the hole directly over the physician's eye, providing illumination like a ring light.
In use, the patient sits and faces the physician. A bright lamp is positioned adjacent to the patient's head, pointing toward the physician's face and hence towards the head mirror. The light from the lamp reflects off the mirror, along the line of sight of the user, with the light being somewhat concentrated by the curvature of the mirror. When used properly, the head mirror thus provides excellent shadow-free illumination.
TLDR: it reflects light and the doctor looks through the hole

Okay but teachers not letting small children go to the bathroom really baffles me. I remember peeing in class because a teacher wouldn’t let me go to the bathroom and at the time, it was the most embarrassing thing I could ever think of. It’s a horrible thing for a child to go through. Just let em go.
And it's unhealthy too, not to go, especially as a kid!
it's especially bad when teachers are like "You should've gone in recess!" to a first grader. Like, good sir, that kid is six, it's just barely not a toddler anymore. Six year olds have the bladder control of a seagull with diarrhea.
One time when I was in elementary school, I asked to go to the bathroom cuz I needed to throw up. Teacher wouldn't let me go, so I threw up on the desk. Then they made me clean it up. Teachers are evil.
yeah same. in kindergarten they wouldn't let me use the bathroom during gym so i refused to do anything because i was going to explode. eventually when we where leaving i couldn't hold it in anymore and peed on myself. my mom was furious and after that they started to let us go.
This forceful restrainment of kids when they need to pee caused me to suffer from severe Urinal Tract Infection when I was in first grade. We also were supposed to keep our water bottles outside the class and only allowed to drink during recess. This added to my infection.
we need an episode where Mike has to guess what old medical equipment was used for.

That thing is a head mirror it is a simple diagnostic device, stereotypically worn by physicians, but less so in recent decades as they have become somewhat obsolete. A head mirror is mostly used for examination of the ear, nose & throat.
the idea is that it reflects light in a cone on a specific area, since pen lights were either expensive or unavailable for quite a while.
Quick fact: The headband Patrick was wearing is actually a head mirror; and doctors used them to reflect the roof lights onto the patient for examination of the ears, nose, eyes, and/or throat.

If you wanted to know what the disc thing is it was a early version of head mirrors.
A head mirror is mostly used for examination of the ear, nose and throat (ENT). It comprises a circular concave mirror, with a small hole in the middle, and is attached to a headband.
I’ve always compared radiologists to being like a bartender, imagine every time a person ordered a drink you had to drink too. A bartender would die before their shift ended, same goes for X-rays
That is the analogy that got it through to me, a layman, why radiologists always leave the room. That’s a full pitcher of NOPE!
I used a similar analysis for why Chemo radiation makes people sick, but dental xrays don't. I said it is like drinking a shot of Whiskey versus half the bottle.
It's actually a radiographer/radiological technician in the room with you!
Radiographers take the images and assess any complaints made by the patient. The information, scans, and tests are then sent to the radiologist, who is an MD and can diagnose the patient.
Radiologists are people who went through medical school and specialized in medical imaging. Techs are people who went to a medical program specifically teaching medical imaging.
Very nice analogy
As someone who’s studying in radiology, this is pretty accurate 😂
This is probably the only doctor I would visit every day.

I relate to the sleeping in freezing weather. I love being cold and being wrapped up in my blankets, sometimes in a hoodie like Mike said. I even keep my window open most of the winter. Something about it is so relaxing and helps me sleep better
If I were to take a good guess on what the disc on the doctor's head does, it's designed to reflect light onto the spot they're looking. Kinda like a cheap flashlight alternative. Can help when inspecting holes. Who knows?

"If a cartoon sponge was to have diarrhea.."
A phrase I was not expecting to hear today.
I died laughing at this part 😂😂🤣
Regarding the circular mirror worn on head, the disc is known as a head mirror, and it helps otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) visualize various body cavities of interest. To use the device, the medical professional swings the mirror down over one eye, peering through the center hole.They are rarely seen outside of the ENT setting, having been largely replaced by pen lights among general practitioners. They are still used by some otolaryngologists, particularly for examinations and procedures involving the oral cavity, although many are switching to fiber optic headlights. Yes, I googled it.
I really want to check out that blind detective series! Have you ever read all the light we cannot see? I enjoyed it quite a bit! I felt like a lot of the depictions of a blind person’s experience we’re fairly accurate, though obviously not all of them.
Head mirrors are used in combination with a lamp behind the patient, so that they brighten up the place you're looking at through the hole. They have been largely replaced by pen lights.
"head mirror." It was used in examinations of the ear, throat, and other, ah, body cavities. To use, you swung the head mirror down so that you could look through the hole in the middle with one eye. Then you positioned a light source so that it shone on the mirror’s parabolic surface. By moving your head just so, you could reflect the light rays down the patient’s throat or whatever, the better to illuminate items of interest without obstructing the view.
I was looking so desperate for this comment
You did a way better explanation than I ever could
Yes it is pretty obsolete nowadays but it works. I recommend doctor Mike that he should start looking into the history of his profession more. It is so interesting to learn about history.
I was just reeducated by you think you. 👍
So, basically a head lamp equivalent from the times when batteries of reasonable size and capacity and light sources of reasonable size and power consumption didnt exist
I love you're videos
So apparently that reflective disc that doctors are portrayed with are actually discs with a hole in the centre. That they used to reflect light into holes like the ear canal, throat, or nostrils.
6:24 That headband is a mirror that doctors used to have to use before tiny flashlights existed. They were used to reflect office lights or sunlight onto the patients to see what they (the doctors) were doing.
To be more specific. The Dr. Would look through the tiny hole in the middle to see inside a patients mouth.

It's called a head mirror. It's used mainly for ear, nose, and throat exams, not eyes. It just hasn't commonly been used in a few decades.
Wait I had just got to that part when I read this comment 😂
My mom has used it for decades when she was an ear-nose-doctor. Back then they didn't use the light directly to look into your ear - the light reflected on this head mirror into the patients' ear. The little whole in the middle is for the doctor's eye - they peak through that.
It's kind of surprising to me that they have just this super straightforward name: head mirror. It seems like everything else in medicine has some kind of polysylabic name with Latin roots.
@@harringt100 Just use the german translation for it then. "Kopfspiegel" according to a 3 second Google Translate, and that sounds pretty legit to me lol.
The thing on the doctor’s heads is called a head mirror, most used for ENT doctors. It’s actually rotates down over the eye, the doctor sees through the hole, and the mirror reflects light so the doctor can see better.

13:16 lesson for teachers: when a kid asks if they can use the restroom, its not a maybe, they are giving you a heads up, once they ask again, they are basically saying "my bladder is at the maximum capacity and in 10-12 seconds I will have to release the urine contracted in my body as to not get urinary tract infections"
True! Though I substituted in a kindergarten classroom for a while and once one student asked, they all wanted to go. To avoid having a half dozen 5/6 year olds in the hallway unsupervised, I ended up just taking the whole class down the hall and making them all pee. We also all used the bathroom before recess and after lunch.
I don’t deny kids the bathroom, especially younger ones.
I had a home economics teacher make me wash dishes when I really had to pee. She absolutely refused to let me go, and I ended up so desperate I burst out the door past her and peed myself in the hallway. The school nurse ended up yelling at the teacher.
I also had a classmate (female, around 11 y/o at that time) who was the top student of the claas. She absolutely tried to hold her bladder during class but finally couldn't take it. As she got up from her seat and running towards the door after asking for permission, she peed herself in the middle of the class.
Ditto to that! I have a family history of bladder problems. My younger sister would get aggressive bladder infects if she tried to hold it in and My dad has a hyperactive bladder he takes medicine for now. Waiting wasn't/isn't an option for them. What's worse, my dad's KINDERGARTEN teacher made fun of him for how much he had to use the bathroom.
I remember a teacher wouldn't let me go to the bathroom and I got up, walked to the bathroom, and came back like nothing happened. I honestly thought I would get in trouble later, but nobody said anything to me.
Seriously, no respect for teachers that refuse to let kids go to the bathroom. Thankfully I didn't have an incident, but I did have a teacher that didn't let me go and my bladder ached for the rest of the day. I told my mom, she got mad and told me to still ask, be polite and all, but to never let myself go that far ever again; said my health was more important, and promised to back me up if I got in trouble for it. I don't recall ever having to test it.
Did the research for those wondering(:
"Doctor thing on their head" is a head mirror used by ear, nose, and throat doctors. Supposedly they would place a lamp behind the patient and if used properly they'd provide shadow-free illumination to whatever area they are looking at.
It works pretty well actually, I use it as a mechanic when doing soldering with a torch to avoid shadows.
I think he forgot doctors used to look up your nose before batteries or electricity. It's like the old fashioned microscope that has a mirror to refract light up into the scope.

The head mirror is a circular concave mirror with a small hole in the middle that's attached to a headband and worn over the doctor's eye. The concave mirror surface faces outwards and the hole is directly over the doctor's eye, providing illumination like a ring light. (:
Fun fact, the little silver thing on top of the doctors head, which is Patrick is actually a thing that they use a long time ago to reflect delight into the mouth which doctors used to check for throats that are sore
reflect delight 😂😂👍
i like the fact that "doctor" sponge Bob used a sterile chicken, than discarded the rest because it was no longer sterile.
also, the head reflector was used before small electric lights were commonplace in order to reflect the main rooms light so the doctor could examine the inside of the ear, nose or throat
Hi
oooooh finally someone knows the answer haha cool
Yes and they're slightly conical to help focus the ambient light
Thank you
@@camwyn256 Parabolic, just likea satellite dish.
Patrick has better chest compressions than most TV medical scenes.
I love to watch funny videos while learning information I’m going to forget tomorrow!
2:35 "Doctor Mike, i think your blinkers broken"
If you're interested the metal thing on their head is a mirror the doctor pulls down over his eye and looks through the hole the light reflects off the mirror into the patients ears, nose, throat it's basically a head lamp/otoscope before those existed.
Thank you, good sir
Glad I am not the only one who put this sort of comment here, gotta make sure this info doesn't get buried. Fascinating tool and clever design when small LEDs had not been invented yet.
Take an upvote good grump.
Exactly what I scanned the comments for lol thanks
Mike: “The energy center of the cell not the powerhouse of the cell.”
Me: THE ONE THING I REMEMBER... THE ONE THING I CAN RECALL AFTER YEARS IF SUFFERING... ISN’T EXACTLY RIGHT?!?!
I'm 35 you won't be using 99% of what you learned at school/university. For me it is "All People Seem To Need Dill Pickles" which is like a pneumonic for the 7 layer network thing for computers. I can tell you what each layer means but I have no understanding of how it works because it is not part of my job.
my thoughts exactly 😭
Years of academy training wasted
It's the same thing. In his first video of meme review he said "energy centre of the cell" and not "powerhouse of the cell" so it became a running joke on his channel
@@HarleyCringe ooh.. thank God..😄😄 i almost thought i was wrong for years..
Mike losing his marbles over the "thing" gives me life.
Dr.Mike: "What do you think happens when the Ph 2 mixes with the Ph 8"
Me: "Ph10"
Dr.Mike: "No longer Alcanized"
Me: "Oh"
True, no longer alkaline but less acidic too... Why people drink alkaline water is something, as a chemist, I want to know.
Hahaha
I just like the taste of alkaline water it tastes smooth. It kind of tastes like well water (if you ever had the opportunity to drink well water you know what I mean)
.................Ph 10? -_-
Oh lord, our educational system has failed.
@@SkydivingSquid Hahaha I thought it would be Ph 10 because 8+2=10.
Ahhh my mom had Munchausen by Proxy I got an unnecessary cat scan, endoscopy, got my tonsils removed for no reason, had to have my heart rate monitored every day at school for a year, and so on. Luckily I don't live with her anymore but Munchausen by Proxy is so damaging to a child and I'm glad I'm able to put a name to what happened to me.
Hope you're doing much better now. May you be healthy and safe🌺
Hope you are doing ok!
Hi, Mike. My son introduced me to your channel. Great fun! And useful in some ways. I’m old enough to KNOW what that round thing on doctors head is for. And yes, I’m Russian. Ask your grandma or your mum who is “lor” or “uho-gorlo-nos” ? The round thing is used to reflect a light while you looking though a hole in the middle to check patients nose, ears and throat. Simple 🤗.
The medle thing is used for reflecting light into places they can see better, and so they don't have to hold a light.
I still love how Doc McStuffins is practically the most accurate show he’s watched thus far 😂
I mean Chicago Med tho
@@fluffycorn_njst still waiting for him to review cells at work black
Yessss
I'm a minor I still watch doc McStuffins cus it's good lol-
( I'm over 10 tho )
We need a part 2 of this with more medical scenes from spongebob IMMEDIATELY
yeah but only spongebob none of the others
Yes I actually want that before this video evem existed.
More from the office too! There’s a bunch more episodes he could do
13:31 😂 Don't worry Dr. Mike! It happens to the best of us😅 I remember having some tonsil problem in elementary school and it kept making me throw up and feel like i'm choking, and I was at my desk when this random boy passing out papers and I threw up water in front of him and literally no one,not even the kid, seemed to notice! Thank goodness it dried up quickly😅
omg that sounds awful! I'm glad that's all in the past and you're okay now ❤❤
Dr. Mike, the thing your wondering they were on their heads are called, a head mirror is mostly used for examination of the ear, nose and throat (ENT). It comprises a circular concave mirror, with a small hole in the middle, and is attached to a headband. The mirror is worn over the physician's eye of choice, with the concave mirror surface facing outwards and the hole directly over the physician's eye, providing illumination like a ring light. (Took those words off from wiki)
In regards to the old timey head mirror:
The mirror is worn over the physician's eye of choice, with the concave mirror surface facing outwards and the hole directly over the physician's eye, providing illumination like a ring light. ... When used properly, the head mirror thus provides excellent shadow-free illumination.
-Wikipedia
Came to post this! Thanks!
exactly, thank you. I was about to comment this from wiki too
I looked it up to ! haha I needed to know just because he pointed it out so often during the video ! hahaha
Glad you gave the credits
That’s what I thought it was
