Thank YOU
Thank you
Dear Doctor Mike, a comment I put in an earlier video you made might have been lost under the comment flood so I will state the more important parts again. A few days ago, my father passed away, his heart giving out after several years. What I want to focus is very simple; the only reason the EMTs and doctors at the hospital were able to keep trying for as long as they did to bring him back was because of the one thing you keep saying; Chest Compressions. In the ten minutes until the EMTs arrived, my father was still warm, until he got to the hospital he was still warm. His heart might not have restarted, but the hope that it would work again was there specifically due to me spending those ten minutes giving chest compressions, or at least so said the EMTs. It might not have been enough for my father, but it might be enough for someone else, so please, keep repeating; Chest Compressions, Chest Compressions, CHEST COMPRESSIONS. Someone else might live. Thank you for teaching me that.
Watched it and it brought me to tears. All the front line workers, sacrifice so much for all of us and some ppl still don't understand, that all they have to do is stay home. Thank you so much for using your platform to give so many of your colleagues a voice and a face. We alk absolutely appreciate everything you and your colleagues are doing, at any time. Stay safe and healthy.
PEACE and Love ✌️❤️
@@lyravain6304I am so sorry to hear that and I wish you all the best for the future. And thank you so much for sharing your story. Stay strong and safe.
It's kinda funny how Dr. House manages to annoy most doctors, both in the show and in real life! :P
Tapanan Yeophantong ahahahahha indeed
I'm not a doctor and he also annoyed me whenever I watched the show on tv. lol
😍
@Randy Rodes No one would even allow him to become a doctor to begin with. xD
@Randy Rodes Isn't that one of the main plot points of the show? He can't leave that Hospital because no other Hospital would take him. Lol
Dr. Cuddy makes this point several times throughout the show.
If smallpox is this serious, I can't imagine how serious bigpox is
That is syphilis, historically known as the great pox. So named because it causes one large sore, while smallpox referred to any illness that causes many small sores. Over time less severe illnesses like chicken pox, cow pox, measles, mumps, rubella, etc. were identified and removed from the label of smallpox until eventually it only referred to one virus.
@@TheExalaber Neat, thanks
@ïnflux ok
So bigpox is for the most part harmless.
Size isn't everything ;)
2:33 I thought the whole point of House was to be a last line of defense, the guy who gets to jump to zebras first because other doctors ran out of horses and couldn't figure it out.
Correct. But most people forget/don't know
Exactly! Aside from clinic duty, House never sees anyone who hasn't already had all of the obvious and a lot of the not so obvious diagnoses ruled out.
I watched the series a long time ago but I think Foreman and the bunch aren't residents. Just doctors under his department. I mean, I really don't remember
@@mytop10manhwa40 They are. Chase is a surgeon, Cameron is an infectious disease specialist, and Foreman is a neurologist.
Not in this case though, they immediately came to them after they broke the glass bottle and haven’t gone through any other doctors
The thing to remember, Dr. Mike, is that the central concept of this show is that House's team is an elite differential medicine group. By the time a case gets to House, all of the basic possibilities have been ruled out by other doctors -- if a case has easy answers, House is bored by it and won't bother to look at it. In other words, it makes sense for House's team to expect zebras because the horses have been corralled already.
That's also where he gets his budget. This is why Cuddy is babysitting him. The teaching hospital gives him two big offices, a few well-paid stooges, and free access to the facilities, to get PR and research papers.
plus, even though it sometimes seems like he's being mean to his team, he has them there specifically so they will argue with him and explain to him why his theory might be wrong. that's their function.
“I don’t ask if they’ve been on a pirate ship”
Sounds like something you’d learn on day 1 of medical school to me.
jan oxley yea totally
In 1800
But on the off chance you do meet someone who has been on a pirate ship, maybe its good policy to just always ask.
I don't know where mike gets the pirate ship though. The show mentions "dutch slave ship". Those are just planned transports.
😂😂😂😂
Sounds like something he read in the case file since hes not the first Doctor that any of these people see.
The rundown of every House episode:
- small intro showing us the patient
- house telling the other doctors "this is what it is now go verify!"
- other doctors test and it comes back as impossible
- House telling everyone he is still right
- doctors check again and realize it IS what House diagnoses
- they are about to treat the patient for House's original diagnosis when House realizes it, in fact, isn't what he diagnosed it to be but luckily he figured out what it actually is
- they treat the patient
- patient leaves and House feels smart even though he almost killed the patient
Great Show!
You missed a point. After House realizes his first diagnosis was wrong, and says that, now his colleagues who he had convinced in his wrong idea, will argue with him for what he has now come up with. But will still do what he says in the end.
But whatever! House MD is a great show
Yeah I find it obnoxious. It makes the show unwatchable to me when he's an insufferable know-it-all.
and it is never lupus except this one time they didn't guess it.
Also Sarcopodious is thrown as a possible diagnosis leading me to believe it has every symptom.
Thing is that House's department is specialized. So the assumption is that when and if a patient comes to House, they've already ruled the usual suspects before. He only takes the 'unsolvable' cases. Doc Mike misses out on the fact when he says things like "You should eliminate the obvious ones" etc.
Someone who comes to House has already ruled out every horse on the planet twice. And every zebra. And probably also every giraffe.
True Doctor Mike always criticises him unnecessarily when it's literally his department is there to solve unsolvable cases which other doctors couldn't.
9:35
If you watch the episode, when House shocks him, after he actually tries to do chest compressions.
Finally, the first time he actually tried.
"If you hear hoofbeats, think two coconuts clacking together"
-- Greg House's entire approach to medicine
Are you suggesting they migrate?
AmericanHothead the data would seem to suggest that, yes. However, recent travel restrictions make that hypothesis difficult to confirm.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries..
That couldn’t be more accurate. He’s a huge believer that everyone lies- so why would he believe that the hoof beats belong to an animal at all?!
Is that a quote from the show, or did you think of it? Cause that’s a pretty House way of thinking too...
@@ItsJustKylie- Sorry, it's far too perilous!
2:40 ah but in a house episode he clarifies this.
"the reason we look for zebras is because by the time patients are referred to me all their other doctors have already ruled out horses"
Yes!! Thank you!!
Yep. Spent 25 years looking for horses. It turns out that there were no horses, there were only zebras.
exactly, House's cases have already gone through a series of other doctors that couldn't reach a diagnosis. House's department is the last resort.
I came down here to say the exact same thing
As crazy as this may sound, I prefer House. I have known so many people, my own self very well included, that have suffered horribly and/or reached deaths door because every single doctor would stop and go "Well thats just too out there.". We need doctors that are willing to look for Zebras, Deer, and Girrafs.
It's funny watching these reviews because Mike's reaction to the shit House does is exactly the same as all the "regular" doctors House comes across during the series. Really shows how well that aspect of the show was written, lol.
Not necessarily lol. "What he did didn't make sense, therefore it's written well". If House cured his patients by chanting ancient hymns over them or sprinkling them with essential oils dr Mike would probably also call House crazy.
@@Grintock you missed the point
@@luin.p.10 they really didn't
No, because the show is making us buy a scenario where House is an eccentric genius and the reason his ideas are denied is because he's surrounded by idiots who can't think outside of the box and who just don't understand him, but in reality his ideas are just irrational and oftentimes stupid and ridiculous and in real life he would actually be the idiot. So no, this is not good writing
@@Grintock And that would be more fantastical, and that would elicit the same reaction. It would be accurate to how a Dr. like Dr. Mike would react--and therefore may be described as being a well or accurately written aspect of the show. I dunno why people on the internet move the goalposts and then bicker about it. You completely changed the intent of the first comment and distorted it slightly into what you interpreted: you heard "What he did didn't make sense therefore it's written well." But that's not what he complimented. So yeah you did miss the point.
That "I'm a screenwriter, is it possible" phone call really feels like one of the writers inserting a Take That, Me into the script.
He purposely took off his hazmat so he can be quarantined and avoid clinic duty
Bruh
Oh em gee yes!
In true Dr. House fashion 😂
I believe it
Smart move by a smart man
I'm not kidding when I say I would rewatch the entire House M.D. series commented by Doctor Mike. It's just so fun having things explained.
Id enjoy him watching it Hugh Laurie in character 🤣
Absolutely, yes...
When I'm feeling anxious it's my go-to watch!! Can't wait for another episode
@Eagleeye Jones not really
I would literally pay for the blu ray ;)
I like how hes shocked by House like the whole premise of the show isnt how House is ridiculously borderline close to being fired and sued out of existence each and every episode. 😂
Three of my favorite episodes for how unique the cases are that I sincerely think you would adore and have fun also trying to solve:
Season 4 Episode 1 "Alone" = After an office building collapses, a woman has seemingly impossible conflicting symptoms, and House doesn't have a team to help him.
Season 4 Episode 11 "Frozen" = An adjunct psychiatrist from their hospital is stationed in the South Pole. When she doubles over in intense chest pain, the team needs to treat her via webcam using only the limited supplies she has available.
Season 5 Episode 2 "Not Cancer" = Everyone who received an organ from the same donor in suddenly dropping dead with seemingly no cause. They have one recipient left who hasn't been affected yet.
I loved the one with Naegleria fowleri
"I'm a screenwriter, is it possible..."
I suppose that's exactly what the House MD screenwriters did when they were doing this episode?
Boom
The irony...
It's true, but then they also go "ok the real protocol doesn't help me tell the story, i'm gonna bend the real way it would work a bit so i can tell the story i want to tell". And that's how they end up with all the inaccuracies Dr. Mike points out.
VMYeahVN Is that inherently a bad thing?
@@isaackemp2151 Depends on how egregious it is. One of the key pillars of a good story is suspension of disbelief. So if something isn't believable, then it's partially failing at being a good story. It's all very case by case and it depends on your audience too. Like the general audience that watches House doesn't know the intricacies of how hospitals actually work, so they have a certain amount of leeway to bend the rules of hopsital reality. But as we see in this video, anyone who does know, the show comes off like a ridiculous comedy (in a not good way). They, usually, don't make up the majority of the audience though. Some shows/movies get it too wrong where even a general audience can spot the flaws too though. It just depends.
One of the most important things about House is that he's meant to be portrayed as the Sherlock Holmes of doctors. House is Holmes, Wilson is Watson, and they live at building 221 appartment B. So when he knows all this random extraneous information, that's actually a deliberate decision about how the character is portrayed.
I had no idea about this. Thank you! Changes my perspective on an old favorite :-D
This is an interesting fact. Haha. However, it is definitely not realistic, cause in medicine, you cant decide without objective evidence as you are dealing with people's lives.
Yup. In fact, Doyle had been a med school student. He based Holmes off one of his professors who had similarly amazing powers of deduction. House brings everything full circle.
OH MY GOD I NEVER KNOW THAT !
Thank you so much !
House is like holmes meaning he has acute deduction skills therefore being able to draw much more from the same piece of information or being able to see the correlation or draw information from what seems insignificant to others. In this case it seems unrealistic as we are the others, we do not get to see the train of thoughts house goes through, nor does he explain in great detail. Hence, explaining how house is able to make such "assumptions"
I know most patients don't give thorough histories, but when I am sick enough to go to the doctor, I've made a mental record of exactly when I noticed I was sick, any potential causes I contacted in the week leading up to it, and when each new symptom appeared.
Doctors ask if you've been in contact with anyone who was sick or if you've done anything out of the ordinary leading up to getting sick, and while she probably wouldn't have known or at least known to tell the exact ship she was diving on, if she was smart she would have told her doctor about diving and the jar that exploded in her hand --- at least when she got the cuts treated if not when talking about the illness she contracted shortly after. So while the part about how it was specifically a Dutch ship intentionally sunk because of a smallpox outbreak smells like conjecture, knowing she was diving for treasure at a shipwreck and was injured and possibly contracted the illness through something on the wreck is not mindblowing.
I love how House tackles only zebras and then to contrast that and to ease hypocrondriacs, the writers have the most mundane and exasperated free clinic illnesses.. To show that people who couldn’t get answers elsewhere after months come to House but the walkins he diagnoses ( HILARIOUSLY might i add ) in seconds with the simplest answers to the biggest worriers
“Think horses, not Zebras”
Um... you’ve seen this show before, right?
If you hear hoofbeats, it may as well be a Minotaur in House MD.
This is underrated 😂
It’s definitely not a centaur, they would identify themselves, (I DnD.)
No! Obviously, it was a landing Pegasus!
Minotaur is a man with the head of a bull. No hooves.
House is a bad boy who doesn't play by the rules, and is somehow almost always right. That's kind of his thing, the hook of the show. That he's willing to do things that other doctors won't to save his patients lives.
“You know who Janet Parker is?”
Dr. Mike: i understood that reference
jessica fernandaj
I understood that reference 😏
Alissa Meeker I understood that reference 😂
Dr. Mike = Castiel
8:50 Dr. Mike: _"Wow... didn't know all that"_ 🤔
I know I'm coming to this late, but you have to remember, House rarely gets cases just walking off the street. Many of his cases have been seen by multiple other doctors who couldn't diagnose them, and he's pretty much free to take only the cases that interest him, so he usually has indepth knowledge of them before his team ever meets them..
@4:07 Did you hear about the two medical students smoking weed, talking about their shared ambitions to win the Nobel prize for medicine? It was Joint Aspiration.
“Can you imagine calling the CDC and asking random questions like that?” There’s a reason he used the cover of being a writer. The randomness of the questions I have had to ask in writing my stories is truly a marvel, and I only do writing for fun 🤣
Pretty sure the CDC would kick down the door before you even hang up the phone
yeah, recently i was writing a story for school and had to google a bunch of things like "best plant to poison someone" and "how much evidence is needed to be accused of murder". If i'm not on some kind of watchlist...
Same. I write stories for fun, and my Google search history has insane questions...
My search history has me on a watch list for sure
@@tannenbaum6092 i did the same. Mine was , "how long does cyanide stay in someone's system, how long untill you can file a missing person report, first degree murder charge sentence, police investigation, glass coffin, and how does someone preserve a dead body"
House doesn’t interview the patients, that info would be in the case file he’s given, and he’s only given the most obscure and difficult cases that other doctors haven’t figured out and can’t figure out
LOL sorry if this sounded harsh I'm a die hard House fan
Nah that's basically what I was about to put. He doesn't get the straightforward ones.
Sure but his knowledge of minutiae still stretches credulity. He often becomes an expert on some topic overnight or quicker.
(I'm also a House fan though)
@@MijinLaw i wouldn't say an expert.. the guy puts in leg work.. he just acts like he doesn't lol
That is correct. House goes for common diagnoses when he's doing clinic duties. For "the cases", he will go straght to obscure ones immediately, because he likes to torture patients.
one thing to keep in mind was that in that episode he would have already been exposed. he removed the gloves to check for the eschar. so he was already "exposed" either way. not to mention... i believe he had a rip in his suit which is why he was forced to stay in there.
We need more House reactions.. it's been a whole pregnancy since this one. Don't make us wait for a another one! 🙏
Patient: ive been having a fever lately
Dr. Mike: *have you been to any pirate ships lately*

The only experience I've had with infectious disease is contracting MRSA after a major surgery.
I was on Vancomycin for 14 days; that was the hospital's fault not mine.
A phebotomist spilled my own blood on me and I was pricked so many times by amateurs trying to find a vein I looked like a intraveneous drug user by the end of it.
House is Sherlock of course
Hospital billing: "Oh, and here's the bill for the tests that led to the thirteen failed diagnoses. Have a nice day!"
SERIOUSLY. Most of these patients would be in medical debt for the rest of their natural lives.
Imagine trying to talk to the insurance companies about these charges 😒
Sara Jane Webster I heard here in USA few days ago that it cost around $8000 to be treated somehow for covid 19 symptoms and it cost $38000 If person need to go to respirator/ventilators for 10 days. The worst bill I heard up to now is several members of 1 family got sick. 1 member was treated and was on ventilators for very prolonged time in comparison to average but others family members were treated as well. Their bill is around 1 milion dollars. I think this story was on Mojo in the morning radio show.
Meanwhile in Australia it’s free
Cuddy makes sure they have an insurance that will cover most costs (in an episode there was one who didn't, which became a major problem plot-wise)
It is mentioned in a few episodes that House works in a teaching hospital where treatment is free. It runs on donations.
'House always presents himself like he just knows all these absurd things'
Oh like the aunties on WhatsApp and FB
You must be Nigerian lol
This comment hurt my feelings it's so true 😂

@@firestorm165 ... YES
do actually let you ask questions?
Please do more of these! I love this show and watching you react to this is hysterical. ✨
Hi Dr Mike! I just felt like sharing this with you. I'm someone who has suffered with mental illness my whole life. When I visit a doctor, I feel as though I'm never being taken seriously! I do have a psych team, but when I do have my GP visits, they are just awkward! I'm quite physically healthy, yay! But when I talk about my mental health, I think there is a general stigma there that creates a doctor/patient contrast.
I love the way you explain things in a non-condescending way! You seem like you would be easy to express concerns to without feeling subconscious or foolish. You seem like one of the good ones and I just wanted to let you know :)
House has said in a different episode, when he hears hooves he automatically goes for zebras because all the other doctors have looked for horses
Yes! You are correct!
Doesn't excuse him for berating the others when they look for horses.
@@lich109 to a degree it does, because the patients that end up with House are there because the obvious things have already been ruled out. And it wouldn't be entertaining if he wasn't sassy.
Even if this is a ridiculous show, it kind of makes sense. He only gets the cases that have passed all the other doctors that couldn’t diagnose them. Literally he is the zebra doctor.
@@LadyxSky That didn't happen in this episode.
This should be retitled “Dr Mike getting triggered for 12 minutes straight” 😂
It was rickettsial pox
I remember this episode
😂😂😂 so true, I can just tell the more he will watch the more he will get annoyed
6:41 people would also crush and snort small pox scabs as a form of variolation the more you know
it's amazing seeing these videos how calm dr mike is. no yelling, no hilarious editing enhancing the rage 😂
Dr. Mike (calmly): "Alert, not anxious."
Also Dr. Mike (yelling at the screen): "IS THIS EBOLA???"
The reactions are so hilarious!!! 😂😂😂
This is an astute observation.
*Mr Knuckle Da Wae would like to know your location*
Something that house once said : I look for zebras because other doctors before me have ruled out all the horses
And fun fact , the showrunners considered naming the show : finding zebras
It is a really good thing they did not do that lol
Exactly. I feel like criticising that aspect is stupid since that is precisely why house is special.
I think it’s important to first rule out zebras, then find out what’s wrong. If you never expect one, it’s the one that’s gonna get you
I thought patients come to House because they are a medical mystery. So yeah, zebras.
0:57 you messed up doc. It's safe to assume the patient told them she was diving and entered a ship. After that it's guess work for a hypothesis
I love watching Dr. House because of how done and talented he is simultaneously
Something to remember with House, and something they say near the start of the series, is basically that if the case has reached House, then all the horses have already been ruled out and a fair number of zebras too
Exactly, all the normal diagnosis had been ruled out before it got to House and that's why House finds out all the weird story patient has been through when the case file reaches him.
You can tell because oftentimes they say they haven't tested them yet. Come on, the show's about stranger cases and drama, they don't stick with the idea that they've always tested the patient for other things.
Sometimes the twist was that some previous doctors didn't do their examinations properly and it turned out to be a horse.
Everybody lies.
But then what explains the fact that they're saying "we should test for measles" for example? Clearly not all the horses have been ruled out.
I think the writers just sometimes get it wrong is more of the answer and they're using the zebra thing to show the diagnosis process in a more dramatic way. It's how you would make a better medical drama than say hospitals testing for horses all the time and 90% of the times it's the same thing over and over again.
Patient: i have Fever and a cogh and...
Dr.mike: YEAH BUT HAVE YOU BEEN ON A PIRATE SHIP?
I mean, it's really not that crazy a thing to have known. All you would have to ask is if they have been anywhere different recently. When they mention SCUBA diving they'll probably mention the ship and maybe even the broken glass bottle. Interviewing the family together I doubt he wouldn't hear about that event.
To be honest, I love the way House comes to a diagnosis and in the end , saving lives matters !
Dear Dr. Mike: Your videos are very entertaining! I'll have to say, I will still enjoy watching House M.D. from now on! But having you explain things is so awesome!! Keep up the good work!
House isn''t really a m edical show, it's just modern Sherlock Holmes set in a hospital and instead of criminals there are illnesses :p
The doctors are the criminals on House, they're always breaking into people's houses lol
Dr. House was actually inspired by Holmes.
Arthur conan doyle was inspired to create sherlock based on a doctor he met who had house like skills without house like attitude
This is a great explanation
@@nowandaround312 yes idk how the writers thought residents would be searching peoples houses
Medical TH-camrs on House: "This is medically dubious at best and extremely unlikely"
Medical TH-camrs: "Let's watch another episode"
Because as a youtuber you capitalize on what sells, not what you like., It's not his personal time at home with family, its a job.
Just because it’s fantastical doesn’t mean it’s not fun.
Felix Henson being unlikely is the whole point of house. They come to house because other doctors can’t figure it out. He’s a diagnostician
Aye, it's also a great teaching opportunity, so I totally get why they do it! Just amuses me watching em all be so incredulous haha
Yes Dr Mike, I was so happy that you talk about the lab!
I work in a microbiology lab and you can’t just order any crazy lab tests... where i work, there would have been a microbiologist on the case. The chief microbiologist and a lot of people (biosecurity, public health...) would be involve. That’s what is anoying me in those tv shows....
But this episode gave me an idea... what about a video on infections that we don’t see anymore or rarely (because of vaccination 😉) like cholera, yellow fever, type b haemophilus influenzae, tetanos...
Keep up the good work, you truly are an inspirational human being!
0:45 I believe two of them are a Russian lab and the CDC lab at their HQ in Atlanta.
The thing about House is that most of his patients have already gone to other doctors without finding the problem. That's why he looks for zebras, because all the other doctors already searched for the horses and didn't find any.
Yes!! I was thinking of commenting this. House's team is the top medical team of their hospital, their patients have gone through extensive medical history recording and testing before landing in House's care. The team does personal investigations in case patients lie in their medical history.
Technically House is the doctor you go to when all other doctors can't figure it out, so he's suppose to think Zebra's
exactly, I don't think dr. Mike knows it
Crystal Newen, yeh, he actually addressed the horses and zebras during like two episodes.
Also he rarely talks to the patients, because he gets all his cases second hand, he already has most of the relevant background information
Dr. Mike doesn't watch the show. Every question he asks about House was answered in previous episodes. He just skips around I think.
I know he doesn't watch it, but House's behavior and how he goes about his way of diagnosing is literally what the show is about lol
"This would never happen in any hospital." *Laughs in 'sent to work in covid unit with no PPE.'*
Hey Doc, love your stuff. When you say "horses before zebras" I believe the reason that House always looks for zebras because it's assumed that someone else has already looked for the horses and didn't find them. That's the only kind of case that House takes.
With house he only sees cases that are referred to him and they've already done alot testing.
Plus clinic duty
Patient; "I have a fever"
House; "warm up the rectal probe, we're going in".
You're supposed to warm those? Whoops...
@@extantsanity brave Six, going dark
But House...It's just a toothache!
6:10
For what I understand, in some cases a smallpox infection can produce hemorrhagic fever
Due to this episode, if I so much as sweat, I say "IS THIS EBOLA?! IS. THIS. EBOLA." because Dr. Mike's cadence is so perfect
To anyone scrolling the comments who is physically healthy and are following quarantine rules, I just want to say a huge and genuine heartfelt thank you. I am an immunocompromised 23 year old who is at high risk of contracting covid-19 and I certainly would be at higher risk of death if I did contract it due to several pre-existing health conditions.
If you are healthy and are choosing to stay home, thank you so much. You are helping to keep people like me all over the world safer during this crazy situation. I hope everyone’s staying sane and safe 💙
Stay Safe
I hope you stay safe and stay healthy ❤️
Stay safe fam
We in Serbia are in a 60h lockdown that ends 5AM Monday :) The streets look post apocalyptic. Stay safe :)
I hope you stay safe and God bless you 💕
"This acting is awful!"
Sums up pretty well almost every non-main character of the show.
There was that one episode where masters first joined where a background nurse/doctor was in the elevator when cuddy was arguing with house about not firing masters. Small but effective background actor rolled his eyes in annoyance when cuddy reopened the elevator door. There are some decent minor character acting.
"Grey Room". I thought the actress for the rape victim played her role very well
@@wigglyjiggly4498 well, she has main role experience
Season 3, Episode 1 - 'Meaning.'
She was my least fav character of the show, so I'll agree
I love these!
1:25 Btw, i never watched House MD, but I'd guess it's something like this:
What did you do yesterday at 5:32 PM?
Swimming.
Where?
At this location. [shows location on map]
How many Fish did you see?
27.
Mhm, Okay... You have smalpox!
Doctor Mike: “alert not anxious”
Also Doctor Mike: “Is this Ebola?!?!”
😂😂

You just know he was "that" guy on rounds. 😆

I know this series of you responding is older, but I'm on a House kick again and found these. Loving it!
Btw, House and Wilson are supposed to be Holmes and Watson. It's why House knows so many random facts. Gotta remember a little bit of everything in order to connect the kind of dots he does.
😍😘 I love how you get mad at inaccuracies, it shows how much you really care about and love your profession 👏👏👏
The thing about House is that he usually treats patients that other doctors couldn't find out what is wrong with them, so when he hears hoof beats he thinks about zebras because he have to think outside the box, think about what other doctors didn't considerate, considering they already ruled out horses.
I saw a comment similar to this on an earlier House Review video but I don't think he's seen it.
exactly!
This makes perfect sense but out of context it’s hilarious
So basically his job is to go with the scooter while everyone else goes with a SUV
This is still the wrong approach! No matter what other doctors have or have not done, if you are seeing the patient for the first time, you have to go up from analysing the most common and probable thing first! Thats just almost like a law in medicine practice!
presumedly dr house is the head of "diagnosis departement" where he take cases only if other doctors couldn't treat. so in a lot of episodes he rules out what a "normal" doctor would do.
i think that too
that is the core premise, he doesn't just take people off the street, he takes over when other doctors can't figure it out, if you listen to the dialog at the beginning of the early episodes they often mention the tests other doctors have already run then he says to redo those tests
that’s 100% wot it is. this is why i love house md, Ive at least watched all seasons four times
Yes! Thank you!!
This show is why I have a ridiculous expectation that a doctor will actually be able to figure out what's wrong with me. (besides the obvious)
your reviews are literally my fave 🤭
House only takes big cases where other doctors aren't able diagnose the patients, that's why he jumps to the unexpected diagnoses since all the vanilla diagnoses are probably ruled out by other doctors already
ArT Slayer and he can cuz its a show.....
It was like that at first but they let that go so they could write more episodes more freely. If whatever diagnose was ruled out, the whole team could see the test results and there would be little argument. But the whole formula is that the first 30 minutes of the episode the team argues where the sidekicks argue for the sensible causes and House always has the outrageous theory.
Found the House fanboi
@@myyriad778 u frame that like its a bad thing
@@filthyjones6150 it really isn't, if he likes the show then kudos to him. But his judgment over the medical accuracy of House is incorrect, and I dare to say it's because he has idolized the character of house (that's the bad thing). It's my assumption tho, could be 100% wrong but that's usually the case.
Dont care how medically accurate House is, still one of my favorite shows. House jumps to zebras because patients dont get to him until someone has ruled out all the horses. Hes like a high level diagnostic machine, you only go to House if they cannot figure out what's wrong with you, so it's usually really serious.
Same!
I’ve only ever watched clips of this show but I agree
This is a great summary of the premise behind what House's role it.
YES! Thank you!
While mostly true, House jumps to zebras regardless of how many horses have been ruled out, because he is a mentally unstable, traumatized doctor AND patient, a drug addict, and he has been burned on his patients dying in the past due to them having zebras but being only tested for horses and treated too late for their actual condition.
10:46 shout out to nyc
I am a big fan of House M.D. Thanks for your expertise on this series. I definitely enjoy all of your videos Doctor Mike. I really respect you. Keep up the great work and stay blessed.
*Who else wants a Doctor Mike Reacts to Contagion Movie?*
YESSSSSSSSS
The back-to-back of reality clips and clips of it. It is good.
Meeeeeeeeee badly
Yess
yes, and on Outbreak!
I feel like Mike would be one of those doctors that disagrees with house and in the series we would hate him for questioning his genius
Love your reaction
0:57 That's how the show works. House drops a hypothesis. Now they have a line of investigation. He and his team are diagnosticians, and cases come to the team because nobody else can figure out the diagnosis. So their MO is precisely that. They are trying to think out of the box. House saying that the ship was sunk on purpose is a wild guess, but that's how he and the team try to think. Still, I like the way you present your analysis, because even considering what I said above, you still get to teach us a lot.
Love your content, Doctor Mike.
I never get tired of Doctor Mike attempting to stay lighthearted while constantly getting triggered by every tiny medical inconsistency. 😂❤️
CHEST COMPRESSIONS
Can we talk about The fact that house knew about that Dutch ships being sunk because of smallpox but didn’t know the name of the last lady to die of smallpox
If he'd been asked when the last person died of smallpox, he probably would have known. House just doesn't care about names. They humanize the patient too much.
He read in their files that they were scuba diving and the region they dived. He did some research and found the shipwreck. Curiosity got to him and asked the patient if they were diving for a wreck and if it's the same wreck he read about (probably got Cuddy to do so, but same same). The case got his interest and he took it because he wanted to treat the newest case of smallpox.
Everyone knows about Dutch slave ships getting sunk due to a possible outbreak of smallpox, but who died of smallpox last? I wouldn't know that!
C'mon... I'm not a doctor...
@@soundninja99 House gets the vast majority of his cases on referrals from other doctors. So most likely someone else read in their file they were scuba diving at the wreck of a specific dutch slave ship, decided they didn't want to be responsible for figuring out which disease this girl could have caught, and passed the case up to House. Who then looked into the history of the wreck they were diving, and got sprung at the thought of smallpox.
Dude I want more of this videos because I don't understand anything without your help. ❤ Especially in 9:03 9:15 where you show us the text😮 of what it means 😅 I truly appreciate it.
Been watching your videos all day after finding your channel by accident. You've earned this sub.
I love how Dr. Mike is always like
_"Explain to me House.. How do you know? HOW DO YOU KNOW?!"_
House knows because he's the modern medical version of Sherlock Holmes. He leaves at 221 B Baker Street for crying out loud.
@@kjhorrorwriter1787 The parallels are all there.
•House doesn't trust other staff besides his own OR patients
•House and Wilson=Holmes and Watson
•again with 221b
•they both see pieces of the puzzle nobody else does
You know at this point whenever when there is a scene about flatlines I mumble: “chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions.” 😂 gosh side effects of binging Dr. Mike.
I would actually love for you to do more personal stories/sketches about your own experiences, but specifically with complex cases that you've come across, how it was presented, the course of action you took, the things you thought it might be and how you worked from those ideas to the rarer, more complex kinds of diagnoses? I think it'd be good both for people who are just getting into medicine but honestly I hope more of your peers in medicine watch your content because you are REALLY good about explaining compassion and empathy and how to interact with a patients who have complex disorders. Like, have you ever thought someone might be malingering but you were wrong? Or even vice versa? Has the presence of mental illness complicated a case for you, or idk something like that? MORE DOCTOR MIKE PERSONAL STORIES PLEASE
Omg you are litterly awesome i watch your vids al the time and you save leves and also make intertaning content We love u
I don’t know why these are so addicting but I’ve seen them all about 17 times 🗿

"HOUSE EXPLAIN IT TO ME" might be my new favourite Dr. Mike quote.
"America explain!!!!!"
waiting for more house md reactions bc this stuff is great
DUDE!! We're gonna need you to go through each and every HOUSE MD episode....Thanks in advance :P
Dr Mike: the only person in the world that got a haircut during quarantine
Everyone in our country is cutting their hair , I just cut my sister's hair . Everyone is giving everyone haircut.
