Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This is my first time doing a DOCTOR REACTS video to TikToks. Some of these are good. Some are just terrible. You'll get to see exactly what I think as its so important that we give context to these videos and challenge the ones that are problematic.
A lot of these are quite specific to psychiatry (duh... I'm a psychiatrist) but send me links if there are other ones you want me to look at. Lets bust some myths, call out some rubbish, and lavish praise and love on the ones that are great.

Patients sometimes don't show pain the way you would expect, especially if it's a chronic problem they've had most of their life and has a high tolerance for it. I have a rare genetic disease that causes me to make kidney stones on a regular basis, I don't writhe on the floor in agony but it still hurts!
I'm not a medical professional, but I have several friends who have chronic pain of some kind. Every one of them has a tremendously high pain tolerance.
Lol. A seller on Etsy has literal membership cards for all the LGBTQ+ and allies. I had to buy one. They're pretty awesome. 🌈
Thank you for what you said about never punching down and making the patient the punchline of a joke. I have chronic pain and I struggle so much with getting doctors to believe and understand how much pain I'm in on a daily basis. That TikTok guy gave me flashbacks to being on the verge of crying as a kid and another doctor in a long line "testing" if my pain was real. 🌈🌈🌈
Sorry to hear that but glad you found the video helpful. I think it's a good way to be for doctors on social media - dont punch down, dont post in anger and dont say something you wouldnt say someones face
I remember reading an article about a really good doctor who dealt with patients with chronic pain. They said he recommended that whenever you get asked that question, whatever number you feel it is, add 3. Because that's more accurate to the amount of pain that most people would be experiencing. You have a higher pain threshold on account of being used to being in constant pain, so you often underestimate what that number should be and doctors that aren't familiar with you will have a harder time understanding how much it truly hurts for you.
I for one say that Mama Doctor Jones is more than welcome to become an LGBTQ+ member, usually sign ups are in June but can we make an exception for the beloved MDJ?
I am definitely a member of the LGBT. That video about autism sensory issues was actually a repost of a video from the national autistic society. I used clips of it myself in some videos I recently made for the NHS to train people about stimming and sensory issues in autism, because they wanted them to be made by an autistic person. I actually quoted your video about the good doctor about autistic people looking for stimulation in the environment, because it was obvious to me but I thought that was a really good way to make it obvious to others. I also never realised that stimming and sensory issues are two sides of the same coin, due to understimulation and overstimulation, I also put that in my videos. Your stuff really inspired me to make my own videos the best I could and definitely gave me some good quotes to steal.
Excellent. Glad you found them helpful and lovely to hear you've been creating too
"You Mr. Johnson's son?"
"Yeah?"
"Your daddy's dead" - I laughed so hard....I do love a twisted sense of humor!
Thank you! As someone who's experienced severe ongoing chronic pain due to Endometriosis & Crohn's disease and was scared to go to A&E because of dismissive doctors & experiences I'd heard, thank you for addressing this. The majority of people I know with chronic pain & myself tend to go totally silent when it's severe, not screaming but trying to focus solely on remembering to breathe. The patient could be on their phone to distract from the pain. People cope differently. Also pain is complex, there are so many different types of pain. Those types of tiktoks just reinforce the fear that we'll be seen negatively and treated badly but also makes it seem acceptable and encouraging others to see us this way. Sadly I've known many that have put themselves in real danger trying to avoid hospitals for fear of this (including myself). I hope there are more like you around.
I've heard of people having diagnosis or treatment delayed because they were 'too calm' to be in the level of pain they described. If they say it's a 10 then it's a fucking 10
Seriously! I have a unusually high pain threshold (nothing to get excited about - I don’t work at it) and medical anxiety. This means I will delay going to a doctor until I am nearly dead and then present like I am not in much visible pain. This means that my husband has had to spend a lot of time advocating on my behalf to not have doctors and nurses ignore me.
For example, I had to have my pinky toe removed after I shattered it and then refused to go to the doctor for a month until it was really messed up from lack of blood circulation. I continued to work and I work a job that is very physical and on my feet. The only thing I stopped doing was running. It hurt really badly but I am just able to like segment the pain. No idea how or why it happens - it isn’t voluntary or desirable. It is just a thing.
So frustrating to see a doctor perpetuating the myth that pain always looks one way.
@@JayeCole I agree that downplaying the pain being told by the patient is harmful.
One thing I wanted to point out though, is that the person in that TikTok wasn't a doctor. He's an ER tech iirc. Not that that makes it any less bad. Just thought it was worth mentioning
I had a therapist that was questioning whether I was actually depressed because I wasn't super sad or crying during our sessions.
@@carmen_says_hi I said to a counsellor that I 'had a good life' by which I meant I had a stable home life, good relationship with my family etc. She said this was evidence of positive thinking because so I couldn't have depression.
I have an unusually low pain threshold which has led to an unusually high pain tolerance. So I feel pain sooner and more, but outwardly react less. If I'm asked how I feel on the pain scale, I have to think hard.
Ugh THANK you for pointing out how awful that steveioe sketch is. People react to pain differently and if someone says their pain is a 10, take them seriously! Just because they’re not rolling around screaming, doesn’t mean they’re not in pain.
On the same note, don’t underestimate someone just because they say their number is lower. Many people (especially women) take into account what the worst pain might be in theory, and then rationalise their pain down to a 6 or whatever, when really they’re in horrendous pain and need to be taken seriously.
Honestly, the whole 1-10 thing needs to be scrapped and a better system found but 🤷♀️
🌈 Great comment about not "punching down" in humour. This applies in so many ways! 🌈
From what we can see, I can say I love how you practice medicine 💜😭 it's nice to see and hear one doctor to say people shouldn't make fun of patients' conditions whether mental or physical. I liked this video 💜🏳️🌈
Pain is subjective! People with chronic pain have a high threshold adn very well may be 10/10 even without "objective" pain signs. What's that old saying about assumptions?
Spot on. It’s very confusing cause I have fibro and adhd and numbers confuse the shit out of me lol. Also when they ask, they ask you to compare it to the worst pain you’ve ever had, and I’ve had some pretty bad examples to compare too xx
@@CarryOnChronically Yep, chronic pain or ASD (yay me with both). Most of the external display of pain is social signalling rather than a purely biological response, and folks on the spectrum aren't big on social signalling. At least not until we hit meltdown because of pain (because pain can also overstimulate), and then everybody's gonna know about it.
I’m trans, pan sexual, and I also work in the mental health field at an assisted living facility with people who have schizophrenia! ☺️
Love it!
🌈🌈🌈 It's one thing I respect and like so much about your channel, that you always show compassion toward patients, so thanks for continuing that and calling out people who are venting their work frustrations in harmful ways.
the autism one is fairly accurate although I'm not as sensitive to flashes but definitely the noises 🏳️🌈
yeah it's interesting seeing how it's different for different people. bright lights and low background noise actually wear me out (most noises are fine) so we're like complementary ♥
1:12 I really hate that dude. He did one about what happens if you’re suicidal and you go to the emergency room and he basically made it seem as bad as he possibly could and was super flippant about it. I think he ended with a quick “remember suicide is really just a permanent solution to a temporary problem” as if people don’t struggle with chronic mental illness or other hardships that aren’t temporary. He’s an asshole.
Same! That one made me never want to watch him ever again
Worst is that Shorts keep actively promoting him because asinine people think he's funny. I wish we could vote down youtube shorts like normal videos effectively.
When I was a student nurse we were taught "pain is whatever the patient says it is, wherever the patient says it is, whenever the patient says it is", we should never make fun of people experiencing pain in any way. And to make a joke of a person in enough distress to require sedation is absolutely horrific, so thank you for calling it out.
did they look in distress to you?
I get your point but that's not what he did, don't twist and dramatize things
@@pink_alligator The guy in the video was obviously exaggerating for comedic effect. The idea is fundamentally the same. Don't justify punching down and stereotyping.
@@juliagoetiaComedy is supposed to be funny
@@pink_alligator It is tho
Thank you for pointing out how we can have humour about mental health and general health but that patients should never be the butt of the joke. These internalised stigmas can make seeking help so so so hard seeking help even when you know you need to. At 33yr it has taken me an extremely long amount of time to finally put my hand up, advocate for myself and say 'I need help. A sleep in, long weekend, or a funny movie won't cut it. I have been hiding my suffering, I need professional help'. And for reasons that everyone would assume one goes to therapy... But still, the stigmas deeply rooted in society are hurting all of us.
Thank you for contributing to the normalising of looking after oneself. And for doing it with open kindness, grace, and humour.

I really love these videos, especially talking about the cruel punching down humour - I see tiktoks like those around Twitter and they make me so angry. Thank you
I responded to a nursing one saying she was being unkind the response wasn't kind
Even though people with views shown in the haloperidol one are very much in the minority it brings all the entire heath care profession into disrepute and also goes some way to explain why some people seem to think that all we do is take the piss out of our patients on TikTok. It makes me so angry because this leads to people who need help being reluctant to seek it for fear of being judged and discriminated against.
I'm glad your on the right side of things, thank you for that. In my experience its an extremely common attitude to run into unfortunately.
It took me a while, but now I have a giant rainbow flag hanging in my room despite my mom's protests :D
YES!! I support you 🤗🏳️🌈👍🏻
@@pixiebells Aww thank you!! I support you as well 💕
Chronic pain is serious. When every doctor was scared off from prescribing pain meds to those who really needed them, the rates of suicide among people with chronic pain went through the roof. It's a balancing act, but you can't discount the pain of everyone just because there are cases of addiction. I legitimately almost died of gangrenous cholecystitis because once the hospital staff read my chart and saw that I had a history of addiction, they simply didn't believe I was in pain. It wasn't until ER trip #4 that a nurse happened to walk by and see me vomit that they scheduled my surgery. I couldn't walk, turn over on my own, my elderly parents had to physically carry me. The first trip to the ER was in May. I didn't get my surgery until October...fuckers...
I work with alzheimers patients and not many people understand the psych side of it. My center cannot give medicine (we are a day program) and like you said, just verbally trying to de-escalate the situation and also removing them from the place that could be causing it (we have a special calming room) helps.
I would never judge a client for hallucinating or getting angry knowing they cant control it.
👍🏻🌈 Just catching up to your content after not being able to watch it for a short while due to being busy and damn I have missed this awesome content.
Love your videos as always! 🌈👍🏻
As a member of the lgbtq, would welcome Mama Doctor Jones' son as long as he pays all the membership fees.
Would love to hear your take on the medical show CHICAGO MED, especially scenes/storylines with their psychiatrist Dr. Charles.
Episodes that would be interesting to hear your take on the accuracy - or very possible inaccuratacy - of the depiction of psychiatric disorders:
Season 1 Episode 14 "Hearts"
Season 2, episode 3 "Natural History"
FYI, steveioe is not a real doctor. He claims to be a retired ER tech. In any case, much of his content is harmful and disgusting towards people with disabilities and mental illness
I always get excited when occupational therapists like myself are mentioned in vlogs! I love your videos! 😁😁😁

6:57 Hi, I am on the spectrum but high functioning and not quite hypersensitive like this. I am wondering if 'high functioning' is a polite/politically correct way of saying 'not bad' or whatever.
@stevejoe is actually awesome, though. This vid looks bad out of context, but it’s part of a major theme. His vids are about working in an emergency room, not just a regular doc’s office. People coming to emergency rooms for non-emergency care and making it much harder for real emergencies to get through are a HUGE problem. He also has a vid about how easy it can be to get too dismissive and misdiagnose a real emergency, so he is cognizant of the fact that sometimes it can go in the other direction. His channel is great. I recommend you watch some of his other videos
I'm just a regular boring straight white guy from the south but 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Could you do a reaction to the series “skins” lots of themes of mental illness, mainly depression but also anorexia and maybe ASPD.
Some scenes to look out for:
- when effy suffers psychotic depression
- most scenes with Cassie
- when they go camping and take mushrooms, involving a trip to hospital.
I haven’t watched it in quite a while but there is plenty to unpack.
Just been on a binge of your reactions, love it!
I don't know how many times I can say I love the way you cut through for lack of a better term the bull shit that people feel the need to put on TikTok to be famous I my self would much rather learn real facts from you than see peoples popularity contest
Rainbow 🌈 family membership my daughter is bi 😊
Double "A" in LGBTQIA+ here. Love your videos. 🌈♠
As someone who has lived with horrific chronic pain for over 6 years, it pisses me off so much when I get asked to rate my pain. I've lived with it for over 6 years, it's probably like a 6 for me now, whereas for anyone else having it for the first time, it would be OVER 10. I tell doctors that my pain is excruciating but because I'm not laying on the floor, crying and coughing up blood, it must not be that bad 🌈
I get a spike of happiness every time one of your videos comes out Dr. Elliott. Your voice is incredibly soothing, never mind the information and humour.
As a 2nd year nursing student, the mentality that it's okay to make fun of patients under the justification that it's a way to "debrief" is very disappointing. Nurses are looking after people at very vulnerable stages of their life and the lack of humility, empathy, and dignity shown is honestly disgusting. Thanks for calling it out!
THANK YOU. I used to follow that second doctor, but all of his videos just make fun of patients. It makes me wonder just how many of my doctors have said similar things about me.

I made a video reacting to bad tik tok medical professionals literally one month before the pandemic hit. Oops. I did put some excellent ones in at the end though. Very encouraging to here you call out the ones punching down. 👏🏻❤️

That Steveioe dude is all about making the patient the punchline. Hope you never see the video he did about a suicidal ideation patient. Either TikTok or IG. It’s disgusting!
I have heard that The LGBTQ+ is so exclusive one must be - in a way - born into it. So exclusive that membership even isn’t hereditary.
🌈 the numbered pain scale gives a lot of people pause and that tiktok doc is actually perpetuating it 😅😅 some people significantly underscore their pain because literally exactly "if you sawed my arm off it would hurt more, so this appendicitis is like a 5 i guess".
i dont think a numbered scale needs to be used to be honest, we have so many words so just ask question/explain your symptoms via how they affect you
My family has a family membership of the lgbtq!!🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌈🌈 down side of the family membership is that it is for 4 people. We are with 6 so my dad and sister don’t get to join. But I myself, my sister, my mom and my brother are very happy with it. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

I don't know exactly how medical internship year works in other countries, but in Mexico we pick a hospital and rotate through the services. Six services, to be exact. And of all those, I got put into surgery for the first two months, that are also the longest throughout the year. I'm dying. It's almost like I'm working two full-time jobs. Before this I had a daily exercise routine, time to feed my dogs and play with them, time to go out if I was up for it (though, granted, I almost never am), time to watch series and time to study. Now I gotta work most of the day, can't study, barely sleep, and I'm not even getting paid. Internship in Mexico sucks.
I learn a lot with your videos, i really like watching you! I think psychiatry is a very passionate profession. Also I am part of the LGBTQ club, 😂
The pain thing... I understand that you need a baseline so you can ask again the number after you administer treatment. However, I think my pain levels would be along the lines of getting burned is a 10 for sure, having the flu is probably a 2 or 3 and, believe it or not, my gout feels worse than when I broke my hand in a mechanical bull riding accident. That's a 7 when it's bad. it's not always that bad, though. And stepping on a Lego block is a 200... easily.
Thank you. Would you consider commenting on Arkham Asylum doctors in Batman media? Games, movies, and maybe some cartoons? Telltale Batman has a lot about arkham, also cartoons with Harley Quinn.
Just wondering if the clip about autism spectrum disorder couldn't be applied for people with sensory processing disorder too?
🏳️🌈🌈
I absolutely hate the rate your pain question. Compared to what? I get there is no pain thermometer or anything, but it is so wildly subjective I don’t see how it could possibly be a reliable bit of information.
Pain medication is something so many doctors fear giving out and I feel so conflicted whether I should ask for something or stay quiet so as I do not look like I’m trying to “score” pain medication.
I have gone through multiple surgeries where I’m prescribed Tylenol for pain management. I’m just laying there thinking they just cut me open, removed cartilage, removed bone, cut some tendons, and you want me to go take some Tylenol? I guess I didn’t give them a high enough pain score.
The rate your pain thing is such a horrible vid. I have a disability with chronic pain and had symptoms since I was 6ish. Literally every doctor told me I was a little girl who doesn't know what I'm saying when rating the pain, then it was psychological bacause I had a "sleeping disorder" (actually not a sleeping disorder, it's just hard to fall asleep when the pain is so bad you literaly want to cut of your feet) or as a teen I just wanted drugs. With 18 I got diagnosed (because my cousin got diagnosed and it is genetic). I'm 20 now and being gaslight to never trusting my emotions and needs and pain all my life and childhood really fucked me up so hart.
As for SteveJoe poking fun at the patient, that is a difference in emergency medicine between the UK and the US. In the United States, the nurses are responsible for 99% of the care. Everything from requesting meds, plan of care, ordering tests, discharge orders and putting in IVs. A doctor will see a patient once a shift and then never again until the following rotation. SteveJoe is portraying an ER nurse doing triage where they see anything from homicides to the homeless who are having a pyschotic episode and forced to sit in the waiting room along with concussion protocols or chronic constipation. There is a huge problem of opiod abuse here in the United States and many come into the ER for scripts, not wanting actual treatment or a diagnosis. Addiction, like psychiatric issues, are not addressed well (if at all) in the US healthcare system. Empathy does not pay the bills I guess
Thank you for immediately recognizing that Steve Ioe is a jerk. It took me a while to figure out, but he's quite problematic.
It’s not that he’s making the patient the punch line. If you have to decide what pain medication to give your patient, and you have to decide what dose they need to take care of that pain, then you have to have a good idea of where their pain is at. You definitely get patients like this, and it can be very difficult to accurately judge. Nurses are supposed to take patients at their word, but not every patient is honest, or necessarily has great insight. As well, some patients are extremely stoic, and that can be confusing as well, you certainly don’t want to _under_-medicate you patient.
I can confirm that a tablet can be a good way to take your mind off your pain.
But its apparent that he’s attempting to clarify the patient’s actual level of pain compared to having his arm cut off with a chain saw. Nurses definitely do this, and it's not to scoff at the patient.
Psychiatric care in medicine, at least in the United States, is regarded as a nusiance and completely disregarded in the treatment of the patient. Drugs such as ketamine, haldol, seroquel are readily prescribed by the doctor to treat patients with underlying mental disorders. I recall a time when a new resident asked for a psychiatric medication and the pharmacist stated that they do not carry such drugs in the hospital system and would have order it directly from the drug company, taking anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Majority of homeless in the United States are former patients of treatment facilities who kicked them out onto the street because the government will only pay up to 60 days. It's horrifying.
Thanks for pointing out the problems with stevejoe's content. His entire channel is just about making fun of patients
I love watching doctors react to Dr. Glaucomfleken. It's so great
got my lgbtq+ membership card in the post, it’s been pretty awesome 🏳️🌈
Steveioe has some great videos but that one was definitely a miss. I get what he was trying to do but it was defiitely the wrong take, and in all honesty despite some of his absolutely great videos and good educational content, his attitude about some things is pretty rotten and I'm not sure how to feel about him.
🏳🌈
I love Mama Doctor Jones. I'm part of the club 🏳️🌈

Thank you so much for this. As someone with mental health struggles, seeing some of the tik toks making fun of people who seek psychiatric care makes it incredibly hard to seek treatment. I don't want to be someone's punchline. I don't want to scroll through social media and find a psychologist or psychiatrist I see making jokes that I could be the inspiration for. It is hard enough to seek care when you're in a bad state with the stigma on mental health needs, this just makes it infinitely harder.
I hate the second guy, he is so disrespectful about patients and unprofessional

You have to go a little past the Q to the A and that is me.
If I meet you in a social situation and I ask you what you do and you're a psychiatrist/mental health care worker Please Don't Tell Me!! Make something up because I'll be so freaked out I'll have to avoid you the rest of the night. Just tell me you work for the NHS.
