Lucky they were too poor to have an MRI scanner. Reminded me of this episode is all.
@@DemonCatMidnightprobably not. In the older generetaion Confutian ideas were still alive and strong. Women were only accepted in the new family especially by the MIL if she had a son. Women who couldn't bare a boy could be sent back to their original family and were disgrace and great expense of the family. So the grandma did what she believed to be the best for the couple by trying to kill the granddaughter. *I strongly think it was a cruel and inhumane act, but luckily I wasn't indoctrinated to believe a woman only has a value for the family if she can give sons to the husband.
@@alyas6375Mao-sit economics caused the main issue. Confucianism may have, when pressed with the dilemma on child limitation to prefer males, but that is neither here nor there.

How could any parent think not to tell their adoptive daughter, who’s an adult, that she had needles put in her brain by her biological parents. “She’s fragile” wth 🤦🏽♀️
idk. i understand the parents' pov. it's one thing to be an orphan; you'll never know whether or not your parents wanted you. and after doing everything you can to find them, not only did you discover that they never wanted you because of circumstances, but they wanted you dead. that's heartbreaking. and sometimes, even strong people can't handle the truth at times. so the parents' concerns are valid. but you're right; they shouldn't force the doctor to lie, because the patient deserves the truth no matter how horrible it was.
@@_enki 1) if her adoptive parents were good enough at making her feel loved and valued she wouldn’t feel the need to find her biological parents FOR THAT SPECIFIC REASON THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER REASONS TO. 2) the patents should’ve give all and any information they could about their child’s history to the doctors. Also the girl has a right to know her own medical background because it could save her life one day. Which is way more important than getting emotional over person you have nothing to do with and have an entire better life beyond them.
There is a case like this that actually happened in the Philippines. The girl was taken to the hospital for severe stomach ache where she was found to have tens of needles in her stomach. Turns out the girl was depressed (I think from bullying at school) and had been eating (swallowing) needles in increasing amount each day.
@@jin-hyepark4252 no. It was featured in a documentary sorts of show... she was swallowing the needles whenever she felt like she wanted to kill herself...
Hm. I've been depressed several times before for various reasons... I never thought I'd say that, but man, do I consider myself lucky to not being depressed enough to feel the need to swallow needles. (Especially in increasing amounts each day.)

2:25 hilarious how House instinctively covered his mouth and looked over his shoulder when Foreman said SARS because the patient coughed all over him earlier. LOL
I hate/hated people saying "do you mind not telling him/her" overall. The person basically accepts a truth that is a lie. Sure some truths are rough, but ALWAYS a rough truth is better then a happy lie as it is truth/real. Personally have a terminal incurable neurological condition. Been in and out of hospitals all my life. Saw so many patients hate their family after learning a truth that their family lied/withheld information about.
Hate my family for lying to me until I was 27 about who my natural father was.... Basically everyone in my entire family went along with the sly so I felt like I could trust no one once my adopted father told me he was my adopted father Indiana adopted me legally 5 years after he married my mother who had been pregnant with a previous boyfriend. Because of their lives I missed any chance of connecting with my three half sisters from my natural birth father when we were all younger and I would have been much more likely to be accepted and integrated into their lives. So selfish and misguided of everyone
@@LindaHutchingsI'm sorry you went through that, however you have got to remember, your real dad, maybe he didn't want you, if he did he would have been there every step of the way regardless if your parents were together or not. They may have been protecting you from getting hurt by him, trust me when I say there is nothing more heartbreaking than waiting for your dad to turn up and he just doesn't come , I've been there so many times I lost count, sat on his doorstep crying every weekend and he was out with some woman and her kids, maybe your parents didn't want that for you. I actually disowned my father when I was 17 after he tried to kill me, that was the last straw for me and the ultimate rejection if you could ever have one !! 🤣 Ask yourself did he ever come for you, send gifts, spend time with you ? If not did he even want you, it's a obvious no therefore he is not worth your time or effort because if he didn't want you then he didn't want you at all, after all did he leave your sister, if no there is your answer of how he felt about you as I assume your mum actually told him she was pregnant with you. Unless she didn't and didn't know about you, in that case , that's beyond f****d up unless there was a real reason why she didn't tell him 🤔 just remember to be a dad you don't have to be blood related a dad is the man who loves and cares about you and who will support you no matter what, and it sounds like you had a great dad who chose you he didn't raise you because he had to he did it because he loves you 😃 I hope that helps you understand a bit better of maybe why this happened
House is a show about the world's worst doctor who constantly misdiagnoses patients, nearly killing them, until finally stumbling upon the right disease by accident. I love it so much.
I hate to break it to you; but a less extreme version of the trial and error until finding what works.... ...Is EXACTLY how modern medicine works. You should be wary of the doctor who doesn't adjust/change diagnosis if the first doesn't work. It's Scientific method.
TBF to House in THIS case, he was technically correct with most of it, she DID have alcoholism, and gallstones, and SARS and kidney failure and liver failure
To be fair modern medicine is a science and what’s the scientific method but a fancier version of “guess and check” sure it’s an “educated guess” but it’s still a guess.
By the way there was a real incident in which a woman had a needle pushed into her brain as an infant and survived, and just like in this episode it was likely due to her parents or grandparents wanting a son during the one child policy of China.
It's horrible about all the lost and abandon girls of China. Some would say it's fitting about what's happening to China today. They wanted boys more than girls and now they got them, too much of them. Now they're saying that because there isn't enough women for the men of China today, the "purity" of the culture will die out. Since now men are looking else where in other countries for brides.
Not anymore. China threw out the one-child policy and is actually trying to encourage more children because their population is suffering. To late though, damage is already done.
@@AsianShadowrunner why They want to breed? Aren’t they still over 1.4 billion ? Their country size is not enough to house all of them so why even bother breeding? The world have 195 countries, it’s not fair to the world that one seventh of the world population is from one country.
The idea that parents love their children unconditional (or don’t harm them that much) is not universal or build into our instincts as strongly as people think. I’m so glad it’s becoming more wide spread as the years go by. But dam if it’s frustrating when people are shocked like “how can people do that to their kids”? Parents across history where awful to their kids health, very loving but still awful.
@@yucol5661 Calling it "Unconditional love" is a misnomer. I think what we call "Unconditional Love" is what Sarah McLachlan called a, "A Love that is inherently given". It doesn't have to be earned to get but it has to be worked on to keep, and their are prerequisites for that love. It is often the case with the love children feel for their abusive parents.
@@yucol5661 People are shocked simply because they can’t imagine doing that to their own children. I can understand that as a victim of parental violence myself. It’s one thing to know terrible things happen in the abject but to witness that terrible thing or the aftermath of such and process it, understand it, it’s very difficult for a lot of people.
I've heard a grandmother get rid of a girl newborn this way. The hair hides the crime but she was caught. Its absolutely disgusting what women have to endure right from birth.
I hope that parent, or grandparent got the death penalty. But knowing how certain cultures see and treat female. I doubt they will do much to punish anyone.
@@soumitrapandit3444Let’s not pretend girl children are not treated differently than boy children. Girls were more likely to be unwanted, whilst boys were sometimes even kidnapped because they were wanted. Any children with disabilities were also more likely to be sent away
@@soumitrapandit3444 Maybe but parents would sometimes continuously kill infant girls until they had a single child who was a boy, because culturally boys were seen to be more prosperous, better earners (for when they're elderly), and less expensive as the parents of brides typically pay for weddings.
I will never get over the absolute absurdity of Kutner saying the pin was pushing on her "Addiction Center" and thus that is why she was an addict. Like there's a specific part of the brain called the "Addiction Center" that just immediately turns you into a hopeless addict if you poke it.
You actually have an addiction centers in your brain (or two to three, depending on who you ask), and trauma to these areas can change the pattern of addictive behaviors.
@shoeboxbistro it's the same idea as like ppl with TBI or tumor right like trauma or presence of tumor in certain areas it can change their personality
@@meirin5316i think your conflating it with how if part of your brain is damaged or removed other parts of the brain will take over for those aspects to compensate. Ie someone who has a full frontal lobotomy may eventually return to some normalcy. Note i said SOME. The brain does in fact have sections that do certain things
I love how House just has a god damn hotline to some Chinese doctor who speaks very good English, and immediately knows the patient and is willing to disclose patient information just like that.
Even if you didn’t watch the show, it’s pretty clear from the context that the guy he’s calling is the dude who helped her find her real parents. Impressive how you somehow missed that
My grandparents were farmers in countryside village. I heard my grandma saying it was always tough when the authorities came by to collect the fees for having more than one child. Very recently these years an old classmate told me that another of our classmate had a relative who were having more than one child and the authorities knowing that they couldnt afford those fees wanted to forcibly catch the woman and abort the baby so they had to flee the country. The main reason I wasnt born in China was precisely bc my mom wanted more than one child. I honestly never in my lifetime thought I'd live to the day when China decided to change their one child policy. It's really frightening.
@@mokonarose01 No, now they’re desperately trying to get people to have more children because they’re 50 years from collapse, but it’s so engrained in the culture people are still having one child only
@@eyetrollin710 Most of China is still largely rural, the regions that matter, the urban population centers are facing a cultural and economical incentive against having more children. Technically every first world country is facing this, but America and Europe can cover the difference with immigration whereas China has found that most foreigners tend to avoid China with its daunting language and authoritarian government.
After decades traumatizing the entire population in the country about having more than 1 child, now, out of the blue, China decides that people should give birth to more than 1 child, exact in an era when the entire globe is giving preference to having pets instead of children. Honestly, they should have thought about the consequences by the beginning. In 90's I have studied about population pyramids, it wasn't difficult to predict by then how it'd look like by now.
I'm not a doctor, but if there was enough iron overload to cause grainy images, wouldn't that show up in blood tests first? Instead of surprising them later?
@@dauntlesstark9850 The ultrasound was of the heart. If the iron is showing up there, it's definitely not confined to the brain... And would definitely show up in blood tests. House even said that the iron could cause the pancreas to shut down, and blood to clot. Then would nothing suspicious show up in blood tests beforehand?
I read in a book that they were able to do even more despicable things to their girls during the great famine in the 50s-60s. they were so desperate that they were willing to trade their baby girls with girls from other families in order to find a one time source of nutrition. Yes it's exactly what you thought. Allegedly, they would also half bury older girls on the side of the main roads. Not actively killing them and in the hope that a wealthier individual would feel pity for them and save one of them. Acts that they would never even consider doing to the boys. The book was very clear about that distinction
"She's an addict. Something went wrong." Being an addict can have a genetic component to it. It isn't necessarily the parents. Though, parents also play a big part in everything. The problem with blaming parents, is, you can always blame parents. And their parents, and their parents. My family is rather split up. And yet, despite being raised by all sorts of different people, we all have strong genetic traits that can be observed quite easily in a typical conversation. Addictive personality is one small aspect.
Genetics and under the umbrella of genetics, epigenetics too (basically gene expression changes as a result of the environment including during childhood and as far back as during gestation). This is the scientific backing for ancestral trauma at least to me (i havent researched it…this is just a guess based on learning about the terms separately. TL; DR i agree with you. Google epigenetics and also if it relates to ancestral trauma.
For whatever childhood and teenage moments you missed on while your parents were thinking of the world or whatever they were thinking of when teaching you, I feel that and I hope you had as much time for yourself as possible. Keep going and speak up when you need
The thing that always bugged me about "House" is how he is absolutely certain about every diagnosis, must start treatment immediately, it's always the only way and then, ten minutes later he's wrong but certain it's something absolutely. He's wrong 90% of the time but is still claimed to be the best in the business. He may be right eventually, but a he really hurts that hospital's reputation. (I seem to remember him being fired for it !)
I learned a lot about this whilst watching my best friend battle for her life in a hospital for months. She had been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lupus, but a lot of her symptoms still couldn’t be explained. Doctors who work on these cases don’t have the luxury of time, to wait and/or go slow. They have to make decisions based on the incoming information. My friend died from a combination of multiple chronic diseases that were not diagnosed early enough when other doctors did have the time but attributed her symptoms to the lupus or to her being depressed about her lupus, and didn’t investigate further.
They would probably need a very strong magnet to shift it. It has to go through the skull yes but it's also embeded in organ tissue. The only magnets people generally encounter are refrigerator magnets and they aren't very strong.
That's what you found to be the most unbelievable part? I thought it was the ending, when they were telling the parents they were just gonna do a nifty little brain surgery to remove what looked like at least 4 pins, embedded to different depths inside her skull. Looked utterly impossible to me. And no, I'm not a doctor, so maybe it is possible. But just seeing the x-ray, especially that deepest pin, it doesn't look doable. At the end, Kutner even made a point of telling the parents the young woman might be stronger than they think, and points to the image of that deepest pin again, which is pretty much in the center of the skull. They never even made an issue of consent forms or anything like they have in previous episodes, just told them they were doing it, like it was no big deal.
@@oiytd5wugho Because it means that the daughter they have been raising for 25 years is not the same person they knew. While it is true that the person she actually is is (most likely) better than the person they thought she was because she is more balanced, it is also true that this means they will have to relearn about her, which is not something a parent should have to do. I would not be happy to know that the person I saw grow up for more than 20 years was not lucid; that all those idiosyncrasies that made her unique could actually be the result of a disease. As much as things will (almost) certainly improve, the initial period will not be something uniquely positive.
@@PKAC972 she was lucid all along. People always change, this is just more sudden. You probably shouldn't be a parent if you don't think one shouldn't have to relearn things about their kids. I am *nothing* like the person I was 10 years ago, nobody's bothered by that, quite the opposite.
@@oiytd5wugho Then I apologize if I did not make myself clear: I did not say that parents should not be expected to sacrifice for their daughter; I am saying that it is sad that from there on they will have to understand which memories were due more to her character and which were due to the needles. As for lucidity, I didn't say she was always drunk: addiction centers don't just act when you take an addictive substance; those centers are involved in a lot of decisions. It means that they will have to learn to remember that many of the possible wrong things she did during her life could be due to needles. They may also think, as parents, that they are guilty of not finding out sooner. Because when you're a parent, you want to protect your children, and they might think they failed to do so. Of course it's an irrational thought, but when faced with these events, parents are often at risk of thinking this. If 10 years ago you were different, 10 years ago so were other people. Here it is only her who will manifest some changes that others will have to get used to. Sometimes even asking for help. In short, the period from there on will not be only her behaving better.
@@oiytd5wugho you didn't just spend 10 years being the same person then suddenly transform into your current self overnight. no one is bothered by your change because they saw it happen over 10 years. I'm pretty sure that if you left your entire family and friends for 10 years with no contact and then came back they would definitely need some time to adjust to the person you became *because from their point of view it would not be gradual anymore* these parents will be met by a completely different person with all the changes coming out of nowhere. all we, as the audience, know is that one of the pins was making her have an easily addictive personality, we have no idea what the other pins were doing to her, what her new persoality will be like
It moved the pins, that’s why she vomited. Also the pins went in when her skull was soft, her skull is not soft anymore and the pins aren’t strong enough to break through it.
My two favorite lines 1. Did her drinking cause this? No!!! Can you tell her it did? 2. That’s the second time we passed that colonial with a cross burning in front of it
It’s very common in Chinese culture that people always put pins into the baby girl’s head while it’s still soft when they won’t raise her or hate the bride because they prefer boys . It’s horrible, but someplace it still continues…
In college asian studies there was a book about Judge Bao, ancient chinese crime solver that had people killed without being known on an autopsy with needles/nail into the skull like this
It’s always great to be in a hospital where all the doctors are experts in telling you what you don’t have My hand is swollen Well it’s not athletes foot
Long time ago since I've seen it but IIRC it had something to do with lifting the statue being a good thing and you had to pay for the attempt or something. Take that with a grain of salt, I literally saw this like 10+ years ago.
Something like trying to lift the Mjoliner (Thor's hammer) in the comics and movies. If you can lift it, then you are worthy (or in this case, you are the daughter).
It's been a while, but i remember most of the reason. The Chinese man told her that the statue would tell her if her deepest wish would come true. She would have to lift the statue twice. The first time thinking of her wish, and the second time for the answer. If the statue was too heavy to be lifted up the second time, her wish would come true. That's where the magnets came into play. Once she set the statue down, they turned on powerful magnets to prevent her from lifting the statue; making it seem like her wish would come true. The magnets would have to be powerful enough to keep the statue locked in place, meaning that the magnets would be very strong and would be able to react with the pins in her head.
Besides what he said at the end, if he didn't tell her and she goes in at an ER at a different hospital that knows nothing about this for that one test for future issues that they pulled the plug on -- it could kill her. She would HAVE to know.

+raises hand+ From personal experience, gall stones can absolutely make your urine brown if they block the common bile duct. A blockage like that is also extremely painful.
Are you kidding me? Patient has had long history chronic headaches, and you want us to believe her doctors never conducted an X-ray or CT scan of her head before? Big plot hole.
mk, doctor here: gallstones rarely show up on CT scan, also no one misses gallstones, this is one of the first thing anyone with upper abdominal pain gets tested for because it's so common. 2: pancreatic cyst? No, Foreman, gallstones can gallstone pancreatitis, which can cause a pancreatic PSEUDOcyst, which would've shown up on that CT scan where you allegedly found the gallstones. Yikes, this is like 1st year med school stuff...

Which is way more important than getting emotional over person you have nothing to do with and have an entire better life beyond them.
“Four parents and none taught you to cover your mouth” 😂
There is a case like this that actually happened in the Philippines. The girl was taken to the hospital for severe stomach ache where she was found to have tens of needles in her stomach. Turns out the girl was depressed (I think from bullying at school) and had been eating (swallowing) needles in increasing amount each day.
She could have had PICA. I took care of a lady who had it bad. Had to send her to the ER after she swallowed a small metal fork.
Or WITCHCRAFT!!! There is more stories like this and the Frog too!
@@jin-hyepark4252 no. It was featured in a documentary sorts of show... she was swallowing the needles whenever she felt like she wanted to kill herself...
@dee gailai oh just like Philippines too!!!
Hm. I've been depressed several times before for various reasons... I never thought I'd say that, but man, do I consider myself lucky to not being depressed enough to feel the need to swallow needles. (Especially in increasing amounts each day.)
“You think I’m deflecting cuz im avoiding something deep. But im deflecting cuz I’m avoiding something shallow” damn that was good
I'm surprised that the alarms didn't sound, everyone erupted in chaos, and the hospital didn't immediately shut down just for mentioning SARS.
I wondered who had caught on to the fact that COVID-19 is a SARS virus connected to China. They didn't even know what an outbreak in America would look like!

I hate/hated people saying "do you mind not telling him/her" overall. The person basically accepts a truth that is a lie. Sure some truths are rough, but ALWAYS a rough truth is better then a happy lie as it is truth/real. Personally have a terminal incurable neurological condition. Been in and out of hospitals all my life. Saw so many patients hate their family after learning a truth that their family lied/withheld information about.
Hate my family for lying to me until I was 27 about who my natural father was.... Basically everyone in my entire family went along with the sly so I felt like I could trust no one once my adopted father told me he was my adopted father Indiana adopted me legally 5 years after he married my mother who had been pregnant with a previous boyfriend.
Because of their lives I missed any chance of connecting with my three half sisters from my natural birth father when we were all younger and I would have been much more likely to be accepted and integrated into their lives. So selfish and misguided of everyone
@@LindaHutchingsI'm sorry you went through that, however you have got to remember, your real dad, maybe he didn't want you, if he did he would have been there every step of the way regardless if your parents were together or not. They may have been protecting you from getting hurt by him, trust me when I say there is nothing more heartbreaking than waiting for your dad to turn up and he just doesn't come , I've been there so many times I lost count, sat on his doorstep crying every weekend and he was out with some woman and her kids, maybe your parents didn't want that for you. I actually disowned my father when I was 17 after he tried to kill me, that was the last straw for me and the ultimate rejection if you could ever have one !! 🤣
Ask yourself did he ever come for you, send gifts, spend time with you ? If not did he even want you, it's a obvious no therefore he is not worth your time or effort because if he didn't want you then he didn't want you at all, after all did he leave your sister, if no there is your answer of how he felt about you as I assume your mum actually told him she was pregnant with you. Unless she didn't and didn't know about you, in that case , that's beyond f****d up unless there was a real reason why she didn't tell him 🤔 just remember to be a dad you don't have to be blood related a dad is the man who loves and cares about you and who will support you no matter what, and it sounds like you had a great dad who chose you he didn't raise you because he had to he did it because he loves you 😃 I hope that helps you understand a bit better of maybe why this happened
I love House and Wilson dynamic.
Wilson dynamic*
@@bottle3124 sorry, my primary language is Spanish.
House is a show about the world's worst doctor who constantly misdiagnoses patients, nearly killing them, until finally stumbling upon the right disease by accident. I love it so much.
I hate to break it to you; but a less extreme version of the trial and error until finding what works....
...Is EXACTLY how modern medicine works. You should be wary of the doctor who doesn't adjust/change diagnosis if the first doesn't work.
It's Scientific method.
TBF to House in THIS case, he was technically correct with most of it, she DID have alcoholism, and gallstones, and SARS and kidney failure and liver failure
That sums up about 50% of the doctors I've been to.
To be fair modern medicine is a science and what’s the scientific method but a fancier version of “guess and check” sure it’s an “educated guess” but it’s still a guess.
@@SmearCampaignsAreEvil Nah, Wilson is just the doctor's version of IT's "Rubber Duck". xD
By the way there was a real incident in which a woman had a needle pushed into her brain as an infant and survived, and just like in this episode it was likely due to her parents or grandparents wanting a son during the one child policy of China.

@@howtorooms3621 lol I was about to say that
It's horrible about all the lost and abandon girls of China. Some would say it's fitting about what's happening to China today. They wanted boys more than girls and now they got them, too much of them. Now they're saying that because there isn't enough women for the men of China today, the "purity" of the culture will die out. Since now men are looking else where in other countries for brides.
Serves them right 💁♀️
Really good episode but tragic that this was massively common in China
It still is!
Not anymore. China threw out the one-child policy and is actually trying to encourage more children because their population is suffering. To late though, damage is already done.
@@AsianShadowrunner damage is done yes but give them time and they'll breed like rabbits.
@@pietervanderzwaan4295 We'll just have to see if they can pull it off.

Their country size is not enough to house all of them so why even bother breeding?
The world have 195 countries, it’s not fair to the world that one seventh of the world population is from one country.
The video title adds a whole new level of suspense. Knowing about the pins ahead of time we go, “Omg! No MRI! Pleeease!”
This is so cruel. A lot of Chinese people had done things like this to their baby girls because of the one child policy and wanting a boy instead
The idea that parents love their children unconditional (or don’t harm them that much) is not universal or build into our instincts as strongly as people think. I’m so glad it’s becoming more wide spread as the years go by. But dam if it’s frustrating when people are shocked like “how can people do that to their kids”? Parents across history where awful to their kids health, very loving but still awful.
@@yucol5661 Calling it "Unconditional love" is a misnomer. I think what we call "Unconditional Love" is what Sarah McLachlan called a, "A Love that is inherently given". It doesn't have to be earned to get but it has to be worked on to keep, and their are prerequisites for that love. It is often the case with the love children feel for their abusive parents.
@@yucol5661 People are shocked simply because they can’t imagine doing that to their own children. I can understand that as a victim of parental violence myself. It’s one thing to know terrible things happen in the abject but to witness that terrible thing or the aftermath of such and process it, understand it, it’s very difficult for a lot of people.
This is the kind of thing that can happen when your reproductive rights are taken over by a government.
N let's be real how did that work out for the Chinese?
That roadtrip with House and Wilson is among my favourite moments on the show!
I've heard a grandmother get rid of a girl newborn this way. The hair hides the crime but she was caught. Its absolutely disgusting what women have to endure right from birth.
I hope that parent, or grandparent got the death penalty. But knowing how certain cultures see and treat female. I doubt they will do much to punish anyone.
It's not just a women's issue. This is infanticide. And under the one child policy, it was gender blind.
@@soumitrapandit3444Let’s not pretend girl children are not treated differently than boy children.
Girls were more likely to be unwanted, whilst boys were sometimes even kidnapped because they were wanted.
Any children with disabilities were also more likely to be sent away
@@soumitrapandit3444 Maybe but parents would sometimes continuously kill infant girls until they had a single child who was a boy, because culturally boys were seen to be more prosperous, better earners (for when they're elderly), and less expensive as the parents of brides typically pay for weddings.
@@soumitrapandit3444 You are wrong. The death rate for girls was so much higher.
I will never get over the absolute absurdity of Kutner saying the pin was pushing on her "Addiction Center" and thus that is why she was an addict. Like there's a specific part of the brain called the "Addiction Center" that just immediately turns you into a hopeless addict if you poke it.
You actually have an addiction centers in your brain (or two to three, depending on who you ask), and trauma to these areas can change the pattern of addictive behaviors.

I love how House just has a god damn hotline to some Chinese doctor who speaks very good English, and immediately knows the patient and is willing to disclose patient information just like that.

"Shes not who you think she is"
Damn, that hits even harder when you find out about this dude...
My grandparents were farmers in countryside village. I heard my grandma saying it was always tough when the authorities came by to collect the fees for having more than one child.
Very recently these years an old classmate told me that another of our classmate had a relative who were having more than one child and the authorities knowing that they couldnt afford those fees wanted to forcibly catch the woman and abort the baby so they had to flee the country.
The main reason I wasnt born in China was precisely bc my mom wanted more than one child. I honestly never in my lifetime thought I'd live to the day when China decided to change their one child policy. It's really frightening.
Are they still doing stuff like this despite declining birth dates
@@mokonarose01 No, now they’re desperately trying to get people to have more children because they’re 50 years from collapse, but it’s so engrained in the culture people are still having one child only
@@cowmoo5596 also people can't afford to have children
@@eyetrollin710 Most of China is still largely rural, the regions that matter, the urban population centers are facing a cultural and economical incentive against having more children.
Technically every first world country is facing this, but America and Europe can cover the difference with immigration whereas China has found that most foreigners tend to avoid China with its daunting language and authoritarian government.
After decades traumatizing the entire population in the country about having more than 1 child, now, out of the blue, China decides that people should give birth to more than 1 child, exact in an era when the entire globe is giving preference to having pets instead of children.
Honestly, they should have thought about the consequences by the beginning.
In 90's I have studied about population pyramids, it wasn't difficult to predict by then how it'd look like by now.

@@dauntlesstark9850 The ultrasound was of the heart. If the iron is showing up there, it's definitely not confined to the brain... And would definitely show up in blood tests.

I read in a book that they were able to do even more despicable things to their girls during the great famine in the 50s-60s. they were so desperate that they were willing to trade their baby girls with girls from other families in order to find a one time source of nutrition. Yes it's exactly what you thought. Allegedly, they would also half bury older girls on the side of the main roads. Not actively killing them and in the hope that a wealthier individual would feel pity for them and save one of them. Acts that they would never even consider doing to the boys. The book was very clear about that distinction
That's horrible, can you please tell me what book it was? I need to know more about this part of history.
"She's an addict. Something went wrong."
Being an addict can have a genetic component to it. It isn't necessarily the parents. Though, parents also play a big part in everything. The problem with blaming parents, is, you can always blame parents. And their parents, and their parents.
My family is rather split up. And yet, despite being raised by all sorts of different people, we all have strong genetic traits that can be observed quite easily in a typical conversation. Addictive personality is one small aspect.
Genetics and under the umbrella of genetics, epigenetics too (basically gene expression changes as a result of the environment including during childhood and as far back as during gestation). This is the scientific backing for ancestral trauma at least to me (i havent researched it…this is just a guess based on learning about the terms separately.
TL; DR i agree with you. Google epigenetics and also if it relates to ancestral trauma.

The thing that always bugged me about "House" is how he is absolutely certain about every diagnosis, must start treatment immediately, it's always the only way and then, ten minutes later he's wrong but certain it's something absolutely. He's wrong 90% of the time but is still claimed to be the best in the business. He may be right eventually, but a he really hurts that hospital's reputation. (I seem to remember him being fired for it !)
I learned a lot about this whilst watching my best friend battle for her life in a hospital for months. She had been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lupus, but a lot of her symptoms still couldn’t be explained. Doctors who work on these cases don’t have the luxury of time, to wait and/or go slow. They have to make decisions based on the incoming information. My friend died from a combination of multiple chronic diseases that were not diagnosed early enough when other doctors did have the time but attributed her symptoms to the lupus or to her being depressed about her lupus, and didn’t investigate further.
Never talk in front of a patient. They can still hear you!!!
So. We are supposed to believe she has never been anywhere near a magnet before? Lol. That is the most unbelievable part of the episode. 😅
They would probably need a very strong magnet to shift it. It has to go through the skull yes but it's also embeded in organ tissue. The only magnets people generally encounter are refrigerator magnets and they aren't very strong.
@@kellharris2491 See Halbach Array...very low stray field.
That's what you found to be the most unbelievable part? I thought it was the ending, when they were telling the parents they were just gonna do a nifty little brain surgery to remove what looked like at least 4 pins, embedded to different depths inside her skull. Looked utterly impossible to me. And no, I'm not a doctor, so maybe it is possible.
But just seeing the x-ray, especially that deepest pin, it doesn't look doable. At the end, Kutner even made a point of telling the parents the young woman might be stronger than they think, and points to the image of that deepest pin again, which is pretty much in the center of the skull. They never even made an issue of consent forms or anything like they have in previous episodes, just told them they were doing it, like it was no big deal.
@johns9652 lol. That is true. But with the brain a small magnet would have killed her in infancy. The whole thing is ridiculous.
Ya cause normal people are just sitting around magnets 24/7 🤡
"She's not who you think she is". He puts it as if it is a good thing. It is, in many ways. But in more than one it is not a good thing at all!
why not?
@@oiytd5wugho Because it means that the daughter they have been raising for 25 years is not the same person they knew. While it is true that the person she actually is is (most likely) better than the person they thought she was because she is more balanced, it is also true that this means they will have to relearn about her, which is not something a parent should have to do. I would not be happy to know that the person I saw grow up for more than 20 years was not lucid; that all those idiosyncrasies that made her unique could actually be the result of a disease. As much as things will (almost) certainly improve, the initial period will not be something uniquely positive.
@@PKAC972 she was lucid all along. People always change, this is just more sudden. You probably shouldn't be a parent if you don't think one shouldn't have to relearn things about their kids. I am *nothing* like the person I was 10 years ago, nobody's bothered by that, quite the opposite.
@@oiytd5wugho Then I apologize if I did not make myself clear: I did not say that parents should not be expected to sacrifice for their daughter; I am saying that it is sad that from there on they will have to understand which memories were due more to her character and which were due to the needles. As for lucidity, I didn't say she was always drunk: addiction centers don't just act when you take an addictive substance; those centers are involved in a lot of decisions. It means that they will have to learn to remember that many of the possible wrong things she did during her life could be due to needles. They may also think, as parents, that they are guilty of not finding out sooner. Because when you're a parent, you want to protect your children, and they might think they failed to do so. Of course it's an irrational thought, but when faced with these events, parents are often at risk of thinking this. If 10 years ago you were different, 10 years ago so were other people. Here it is only her who will manifest some changes that others will have to get used to. Sometimes even asking for help. In short, the period from there on will not be only her behaving better.
@@oiytd5wugho you didn't just spend 10 years being the same person then suddenly transform into your current self overnight. no one is bothered by your change because they saw it happen over 10 years. I'm pretty sure that if you left your entire family and friends for 10 years with no contact and then came back they would definitely need some time to adjust to the person you became *because from their point of view it would not be gradual anymore*
these parents will be met by a completely different person with all the changes coming out of nowhere. all we, as the audience, know is that one of the pins was making her have an easily addictive personality, we have no idea what the other pins were doing to her, what her new persoality will be like
The fact they thought she had SARS and everyone was just wearing surgical masks and not N95s is bothering me 😅

Still sad about what happened to Kutner
why are clips so fun to watch? I have the full series at home dammit!
What was the point of the magnets under the table and in the statue? To make it feel heavier so they could get away with cheaper metal?
Long time ago since I've seen it but IIRC it had something to do with lifting the statue being a good thing and you had to pay for the attempt or something.
Take that with a grain of salt, I literally saw this like 10+ years ago.
Something like trying to lift the Mjoliner (Thor's hammer) in the comics and movies. If you can lift it, then you are worthy (or in this case, you are the daughter).
It's been a while, but i remember most of the reason. The Chinese man told her that the statue would tell her if her deepest wish would come true. She would have to lift the statue twice. The first time thinking of her wish, and the second time for the answer. If the statue was too heavy to be lifted up the second time, her wish would come true.
That's where the magnets came into play. Once she set the statue down, they turned on powerful magnets to prevent her from lifting the statue; making it seem like her wish would come true. The magnets would have to be powerful enough to keep the statue locked in place, meaning that the magnets would be very strong and would be able to react with the pins in her head.
Besides what he said at the end, if he didn't tell her and she goes in at an ER at a different hospital that knows nothing about this for that one test for future issues that they pulled the plug on -- it could kill her. She would HAVE to know.
