    Let’s talk about a throwback classic, ER. This is the first medical show I’ve ever known about and watched. I remember being a youngin watching George Clooney and wondering what it would be like to actually be a doctor. Now I am a doctor so I’ve decided to share with you what I think about the pilot episode.
    We have to keep in mind this show is about 2 decades old and a lot has changed in the medical space but it is still incredibly accurate. I love the character development and writing in this show because it does feel authentic to what happens during hospital hours. I guess you can say that I am a fan and that ER is accurate!
    Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode of Real Doctor Watches ER / Real Doctor Reacts to ER. If you want me to continue making this doctor reaction video please give it a like and leave me a comment on which tv drama or show you'd like for me to review next. Love you all!

      I had a doctor insist I was pregnant based on daily nausea and wouldn't listen when I told him that last time I had the EXACT SAME symptoms it was acid reflux. He tested me for "a parasite" I think it was a pregnancy test. Like if you wanna confirm that I'm not pregnant fine, but don't lie to me.

    One thing that always stuck with me as a new mom was hearing “a baby can’t cry itself to death.” Meaning, if you’re overwhelmed take a break. Let the baby cry for a few minutes, make sure it’s safe, step outside, or in the shower, put on headphones, whatever you need to decompress if you feel yourself at that breaking point. I never had to use that method luckily, but it’s something I’ve told all new moms since then. And also I’m always a phone call away. I will come babysit to give a mom a break. Mental health is soooooo important not only for mom but for baby.

    When I was pregnant with my first child, I was 19 and the best advice I ever got was that if I was so tired and couldn’t take the babies cry (because we all know that not sleeping and the babies cry is really stressful) I should put the baby in the crib and walk away. Take big breaths and relax a few seconds then pick the baby up. Because it’s so easy to shake the baby when frustrating.

      You _can_ walk away from a crying child. It is doesn't warp them. It doesn't make them love you less. If you're frustrated, your baby will pick up on that, making it harder to soothe them and you get more frustrated. Just take a few minutes to relax. You and your baby will be better off for it. And there is ABSOLUTELY NO shame in reaching out for help. Raising children is hard. Rewarding but difficult. Sometimes you need help. Please ask for it. Doesn't make you a failure or a bad parent. 😻

    I love ER. I watched it when I was a kid through my teens and early 20s. I grew up with that show (my mom was a fan so I watched it with her. I know, not kid friendly material but I absolutely loved the show and followed all the storylines). The technical wizardy on display on that show is amazing even today. No one dares to do the walk and talks the show made famous. No one will even attempt to film the insanely long shots they were famous for. And they did it every single week with medical jargon tossed around and so many FX in the scene. Impressive storylines and character development. It was provocative and touched very sensitive subjects. They had a gay character in the 90s that wasn't a caricature. The action was unbelievable and it was gory. They even had a live show for crying out loud. Live for both coasts, they did it twice. Each episode cost 13 million dollars. It still holds that record for most expensive show ever adjusted for inflation. Groundbreaking and heartbreaking. A masterpiece

    "She could even have a cyst on her ovary"
    As someone who has polycystic ovary syndrome, that was exactly what I was thinking when you paused to point out how absurd it was that they immediately diagnosed that girl with an ectopic pregnancy. It even works with her not having had a period recently; irregular and/or infrequent menstrual cycles are one of the most notable symptoms. They definitely should have asked whether she has a history of irregular menstruation before jumping to the conclusion that it was any kind of pregnancy.

      The area I live in Norway the nurses have to deal with patients most often dropped off by police who are going to psyc but won’t be let in before they’re detoxed so they’re dumped in the wards for the nurses to manage, they often get violent, they try stealing just about anything and that makes them very hard to handle and stretches the nurse staff very thin. One patient had to be locked in a bathroom with the soap dispenser removed (since the handwash is alcohol based he would drink it) because he was a danger to everyone including himself. How they manage to be so incredibly warm and sweet despite that is beyond me, they’re pretty amazing people who deserve better and safer work enviorments.

      I've always been big since I can remember. Not "plus size", but morbidly obese. There were never doctors that really talked to me as a person (I've even had a doctor dismiss my symptoms when I had the flu to talk about weight loss surgery when I was in college), and rather than keeping on pushing through and finding a doctor to work with, I went the opposite direction. The idea of going to the doctor sent me into a whirlwind of anxiety bordering on panic that even when I was sick, I would wait until I felt like I was dying before I grudgingly went. Hearing dr Mike talk about things in a way that is easy to follow and not intimidating through the safety of a computer video that I could stop at any time slowly helped me overcome my fear. Now i'm working with a great doctor who is helping me stay on a wellness plan that is right for me, and I have never in my life felt so good.

    • @katbyrd7525
      @katbyrd7525 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      There are so many triggers for panic attacks and it can vary from person to person. The best thing to do to find your trigger is to keep a journal of what you were doing before the attack. Sounds, smells, sights, and feel can all trigger an attack. Hope this helps.

      When did they start? What was happening at that time in your life? I found it's replays that get to me. Counseling helped tremendously, getting me to process the upsets that built up over time and created the set up for each of the attacks in my now life.
      Best of luck!

    • @ZombieDeathRace
      @ZombieDeathRace 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, if you have PD (panic disorder), then the attacks can be random. With that said, they are 99% controlable. When I first developed PD from PTSD, I was having 20+ panic attacks a day. Then through being mindful, accepting my emotional state and realizing what's going on, I learned to control them (about 1-2 a year). It takes time, but the payoff is huge.
      As anyone would suggest, the very first thing you need to do is see a mental health professional. See if either therapy, or meds, or a mix of both can be benifitial to you.

    I lost my mother in 2015. She had been a cancer patient my whole entire life and in fact I became her only caregiver at age 5. She died in a hospital. The ten days we were there, I got a touch aggressive verbally when I felt they were taking too long with things and a nurse said to me "You know I have other patients" which earned an aggressive "How many are going to die this week?" After my mom passed I went home and cooled down. She died at the end of October. Around Christmas of that yesterday I brought them a Keurig machine (they were living off of instant garbage and the whole time my mom was there they were bringing her what they had which was better than the hospital coffee and still garbage lol) because honestly... As stressed and angry as I was I know they have it so much harder. Like you said, I lost one mom. They lose people all the time and they were so gentle and loving with our family. Even now I still get grief items in the mail from the hospital. I am so grateful to the amazing staff of Massachusetts General Hospital Oncology. As upset as I was, they were so patient and so good to my mom. People don't think about what doctors and other medical staff need to go through. No they're not losing their own family but working in a profession where you lose people regularly? It takes a toll on the heart. I am so, SO grateful to all that you do. For every patient and family too stuck in their own situations to say so, thank you. So much.

    I watched ER as a kid too. Great commentary. Thanks. I’d like to see a video where you react to a montage of different tracheotomy scenes in movies and tv. Like ER: there’s an episode where George Clooney does a tracheotomy in the rain with a Bic pen. There’s another one in The Heat and Sandra Bullock’s character does one in a dinner because someone is chocking. The list goes on... I always find it hilarious.

      Always good to see a fellow fan of The Heat. I absolutely love that movie! I watched it sooo many times in a row (something I do with very few movies-I normally only rewatch a movie once every few years, if at all)-several years ago-that I won't be able to get much out of watching it for probably quite awhile longer. I'm sure I'd still enjoy it if I watched it now, but the effect of the humor would likely be dulled. That's how much I like it-I absolutely wore it out.

    aw man, ER was an institution in my family in the early 2000s. every Thursday night we'd sit down at 9:00PM (Midwest, so central time) and watch it together. that show taught me so much, most of it not even about medicine -- although it's probably a huge factor in why I got so interested in medicine. ER was the first time I saw gay people depicted as actual people, not just caricatures or cautionary tales, and they were in the cast too! I was too young to notice when Ellen came out so Dr. Kerry Weaver was probably the first time I saw someone like me on TV.

      One problem with Nurse Jackie is the portrayal of pharmacy. A dispensing robot would NOT replace a pharmacist. There are hospitals that have those types of robots already to cut down on manual labor and the pharmacist and pharmacy techs still have plenty to do. Also, a pharmacy must keep track of what drugs come in and out of the pharmacy. What Nurse Jackie portrays the pharmacist doing in the show is highly illegal and would result in the pharmacist losing their license if caught .

I went through surgery and they found more cysts and adesions and a Stage III Endometriosis.

      It's not an actual thought process, I studied psychology for quite a while and when abuse like this happens it isn't a thought. It is merely a reaction to being so stressed that you can't think. Not giving excuses, just explaining what I was taught. Rationality is gone at that point and reaction takes over. Someone here said that the best advice they got was to check out the baby then put them in the crib and walk away to gather yourself. I was told the same thing, make sure that they don't need a diaper change, they aren't hungry she r anything else, put them in the crib and go collect yourself. It is best for the baby and for you. Believe me I have had to use that method when my kids were little a lot, because I did all of it by myself. My husband at the time refused to do anything to help me or the kids which made it harder for me to get any time for myself and destress. But I did it and all 3 of my babies are now in their 30's and doing well.

Doogie Howser MD (I mean, COME ON, who doesn't love Neil Patrick Harris and how much of a kick would it be to see him in his first major role again?) or St Elsewhere (Denzel Washington, Ed Begley Jr, , William Daniels, Howie Mandel, David Morse, talk about a show full of celebs!) which was on on Weds so a school night, but my Mom would occasionally let me watch it with her in her bed, and I would fall asleep there afterwards. You should also watch that Scrubs episode called My Sacrificial Clam (which, upon reflection, sounds naughty for some reason) but has some nice little surprises in it!

    My parents worked in the ER and when this came out they didn’t allow it because it was too close to their day. Now that I’m an adult, I get a glimpse into what they dealt with everyday.
