- I put out a tweet requesting nominations
for healthcare superheroes across the globe.
And we got six amazing applicants.
Those who have gone above and beyond
in the midst of this pandemic
in order to take care of the patients
and the humans in front of them every single day.
And I'm so happy Lenovo has joined me in rewarding them
with a brand new Lenovo Yoga 9i,
powered by Intel EVO, laptop.
And I'm also gonna throw in
a thousand bucks (register cha-chings)
to each of the contestants myself.
Little do they know,
all the answers for all the questions are all right.
(bell dings)
- Uh, ooh, hmm.
- Um, oh gosh, I don't know.
- Oh no.
- Really?
- Uh.
- Hmm.
- Let's give a huge thank you to Lenovo.
for sponsoring this video.
Whoop!
Time to play Doctor Mike's Can't Lose Must Win Gameshow,
patent that title right now.
Let's start off with Chris Kuzia,
who is a paramedic working in the midst
of the COVID-19 pandemic,
transporting patients to and from the hospital.
Here's the best part.
Chris explicitly told us in his pre-interview
that his computer absolutely sucks
- I was trying to get my computer set up,
but apparently it was not being very friendly at the moment.
It's an old computer, it has about two gigabytes of RAM.
And it's probably about, I don't know, 10 years old now.
- You have no idea how excited I am
to give him and his wife a brand new Lenovo Yoga 9i
with Alexa voice commands, a 360 convertible design.
He's gonna be stoked.
Welcome, Chris Kuzia!
- Woohoo!
- Before we start, Chris,
tell the audience a little bit about yourself.
Tell us what you've been doing during this pandemic.
- I've been a paramedic for almost 14 years now.
Mostly I work in a 911-focused system,
primarily transporting and treating people
that have been directly affected with COVID.
- And that's why you gotta win this game right now.
You're gonna get a brand new
Lenovo Yoga laptop 9i, - What? Come on.
- 4k screen,
a rapid charging battery. - What?
- And then when you're like
- What?
- A paramedic, you're like,
"Oh I need a tablet." - Dude.
- Boom, it's a tablet. - It flips, it folds.
Let's do this. (applauds)
Which of these medications
is absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy,
also known as "Category X" in pregnancy by the FDA?
Isotretinoin, Thalidomide, Atorvastatin,
or D, Griseofulvin.
- A couple of these are probably Category X for pregnancy.
Some of these are just why bother giving them
during pregnancy, period.
I'm gonna go with the A.
- Isotretinoin, the acne medicine.
- Yeah.
- You sure?
- Not really, but I think I'm gonna have to pick A.
- If I'm allowing you to switch it,
if I'm allowing you to switch it.
- All right, let's go with the Atorvastatin.
- I know you know this answer.
I know you know this answer.
- Lets go with the Atorvastatin.
- I'm betting on you.
C, final answer?
- C final answer, you're killing me.
- God, I shouldn't have talked you into it.
- Did You?
- I should have let you keep
A, Isotretinoin. (buzzer sounds)
Thalidomide, Griseofulvin are all category X.
But so is Atorvastatin!
They all are.
(Chris laughs)
You win, you win! (congratulatory music)
- We won, come here.
- Hug wifey.
(Wife laughs)
Hi, (register cha-chings)
congratulations. - Hi.
- From the bottom of my heart, every one of my viewers,
thank you for all the work that you're doing.
Thank you for the chance, we appreciate it.
We really do.
- Next is Lauren Paravis.
She's a speech language pathologist.
That is why I'm accentuating all of my words.
In all seriousness,
in the midst of COVID
where people are having difficulties
breathing, swallowing, speaking,
she's there putting her life on the line,
helping her patients day in and day out.
So I'm really excited for the audience
to get to know your story and then participate
in this little game challenge that I have.
You're going to win something very special.
Specifically, the Lenovo Yoga
9i laptop, - Ooh!
- Brand new, not even released yet.
You're going to be one of the first people to get it,
soundbar, 4k screen, long, rapid charging battery life,
360 design.
And it has, because I know you work
and you need to be mobile,
it has a little stylus here.
What do you do for a living?
- Okay, so I'm a speech language pathologist with COVID.
I'm doing a lot of dysphasia, so swallowing stuff,
lack of taste, lack of smell, lack of appetite.
People have lost massive amounts of weight.
Some people have to have a feeding tube
and I'm kind of retraining and regaining their swallow
and getting them back
to hopefully their prior level of function before COVID.
- Which organ is part of your immune system,
A Skin, B Bone Marrow,
C Intestines, D Tonsils,
E Thymus.
- So I'm kinda of weighing between intestines and skin.
I'm gonna say A.
- And what choice is that?
- Skin.
- Lauren, bone marrow (buzzer sounds)
makes your white blood cells,
come on! - Oh my gosh.
You know, though, it's interesting
'cause the thymus, the tonsils, the intestines,
the bone marrow and skin
all make up your immune system!
You're a winner! (congratulatory music)
(Lauren squeals)
Skin is of course part of the immune system.
- Shadow. (cat meows)
- Oh, there's a kitty.
You're getting a laptop.
(Lauren squeals)
I'm also gonna throw in
a thousand bucks myself (register cha-chings)
as a huge thank you for the work that you've been doing,
Lauren, thank you so much. - Oh my gosh, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
- Next up, up Richard Donovan,
who is an EMT that actually came to New York City
at the height of this pandemic
to volunteer his time.
Richard, what is up, sir?
- Hey, just living the dream.
How about you?
- Dude, your story of coming over to New York
at the height of the pandemic,
what made you want to do that?
- Thank you.
Well, growing up and like seeing 9/11 and whatnot,
seeing how brave those men and women are,
I saw this and I was just like,
man, if only I could just be at least half as brave
as those men and women that day.
- You are just like those brave men and women.
You did technically put your life on the line.
So today, we're going to be playing a game.
And if you are to win,
you will win a brand new
Lenovo Yoga 9i laptop - (laughs) All right!
- That is not only a brand new laptop
that is yet to be released,
when you open it, you get a beautiful 4k screen.
And then it turns into a tablet,
amazing sound system right in the middle here.
I hope you win one of these beautiful bad boys.
Which vitamin or mineral is responsible
for helping your body form clots?
A Vitamin K, B Vitamin K1,
C Vitamin K2,
or D calcium.
This is a tough one.
Is there a possibility, Sam?
Can he use a lifeline?
Can he text somebody for this?
- [Sam] Not with the time restraints we have.
(both laugh)
- All right, Sam is taking away your ability
to phone a friend.
Sam's a savage.
(word whooshes and crashes)
Okay, final answer.
- Vitamin K.
- Calcium is the right answer.
- Oh, no!
- I'm sorry.
- Well, I took a risk, it is what it is,
- But I also have to tell you something.
Vitamin K, K1, K2, and Calcium
are all really important to creating clots in your body.
So you win. (congratulatory music)
You win the Lenovo Yoga 9i.
- What? Yes! (laugh) - What, what what!
You're getting a new laptop.
And also, because I think you've done an amazing job,
you deserve to be rewarded even more.
I'm also going to give you
a thousand bucks cash (register cha-chings)
for you to be able to use as you see fit.
If you want to make this even cooler
and get some accessories for it,
you're very well deserving of it.
Thank you for being - Oh my god.
- The healthcare superhero. - I cannot say
thank you enough.
- Next we have Shanika Kaltenbrun
who is working in an ER as an ER technician.
She's on the front lines battling COVID-19
helping patients when they need help most.
Hello, Shanika, what is going on?
Welcome to the channel.
How have things changed
in the midst of this COVID pandemic for you?
- We've definitely seen a lot of higher acuity patients.
At one point, I believe we had so many patients
that we actually had been mandated
to pick up a lot of extra shifts.
It's definitely taught us to kind of be flexible.
And we've really tried to hone in on the whole teamwork
aspect of health care.
I don't think that we could have
gotten through this pandemic
without all the wonderful doctors and nurses
that I have by my side.
- What procedure/surgery are Family Medicine Doctors
trained to perform?
A Punch Biopsy, B Matrixectomy,
C Epiluminoscopy,
D Hyaluronic Acid Injections, or E Obstetric Delivery.
- I wanted to say E at first
because I know that doctors are trained to deliver babies.
And I know that my Family Medicine Doctor
has said that she's delivered a few before.
Do you think your Family Medicine Doctor lied?
No, I don't think so.
But then again, I only see her a couple of times a year, so.
(both laugh)
- I'm going to go with E 'cause at least if I'm wrong,
I can still learn about the other four.
- I could also give you another little tip here.
Choice D, I made it sound all technical
and I called it hyaluronic acid injections,
but they're also known as joint gel injections.
- Oh, okay, that kind of made it a little bit harder.
I'm going to go with the injection.
- Choice D, final answer, Shanika?
- Yes.
- Oh, Shanika!
Obstetric deliveries, we deliver babies.
Your doctor wasn't lying to you.
- Okay, I should have went with my gut.
- Well, you know, I'm kind of a savage
when I write these questions
and I like being weird and mean to people.
All of these are right answers!
We're trained to do all of this in family medicine.
So you got it right!
(congratulatory music)
Just 'cause I want to sweeten the pot some more
and I think you're an absolute health superhero,
I'm also gonna throw in, personally,
a thousand dollars cash (register cha-chings)
for you to do with what you please.
- Thank you so much.
This has just been, even this experience
whether I would have won or lost,
I told my parents this is the highlight of my year.
- Next up, we have Meg Halstad
who's actually a pre-med student,
but also works in hospital infomatics.
Infomatics.
They actually were the only one to volunteer
from their unit to help out in the hospital
during the time of need.
You've been nominated as a healthcare superhero.
Tell us what you've been doing
throughout this COVID-19 pandemic.
- One of the things that we were approached with is
you guys are the clinical infomatics team.
You don't need to be onsite.
I was the one in my team who volunteered
to be redeployed elsewhere in the hospital.
- So what does someone in your position do?
What are your day-to-day duties?
What's the most fun part about your job?
- Well, most fun part,
I think is the potential with problem solving.
So the doctors, if you break the EMR, you call us.
- (laughs) Which we do quite often, I'm sorry.
I have to admit that.
Today, if you get both questions correct,
you're going to be winning a Lenovo Yoga 9i,
brand new laptop.
Which surgical procedure can be performed laparoscopically?
A Fundoplication, B Colonic Resection,
C Hernia Repair, A Cholecystectomy.
- I don't know if it would be the hernia repair
because that, I feel like you would have to
be able to see more of what's going on.
This, my answer, the Colonic Resection.
- Any of the other choices on there
or just that one's the one that's speaking to you.
- Now you're making me second guess.
- Well, I'll tell you this.
(clock ticking)
You win the laptop! (congratulatory music)
- No way. - Yay.
Yeah, you won. - Oh my god
Congratulations, Meg. - That's amazing!
- All of those were right answers to all questions.
- Oh my goodness.
(both laugh)
- I'm also going to give you
a thousand bucks (register cha-chings)
to outfit this laptop as you wish
or use it for whatever
purposes you need. - Oh, wow.
- Meg, thank you so much for participating.
You're a true healthcare superhero.
- Thank you so much.
- Air high five.
- Welcome, Stephanie Siauw,
who is an infection control practitioner.
You can't go talking about COVID-19
without an infection control specialist.
You managed two outbreaks at the same time.
- I did manage two COVID outbreaks
at my hospital quite early on in the pandemic.
I am actually managing another one currently.
We were following the guidelines
coming to us from the ministry,
our local public health units.
We did resort to the highest level of control measures.
So we obviously didn't know how the virus spread initially.
So we had assumed a worst case scenario.
So we had managed all of those patients
on airborne and droplet contact precautions.
- Are you ready to play this game?
- I am ready.
- Confidence level one to 10.
- Let's do nine, Let's do nine.
- Nine, you're like bam, let's go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- What in your body is responsible
for maintaining balance?
Balance.
A Semicircular Canals, B Cerebellum,
C Proprioceptors, D Eyes
- Not the eyes.
For sure, I can rule that out.
I mean, semicircular canal sounds like it would
be in the ear somewhere.
So I'm gonna go with semicircular canal.
- Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie,
the answer is eyes. (buzzer sounds)
- Eyes?
- Your eyes help you balance.
- Really?
- You ruled out eyes right away.
(Stephanie laughs)
All right, I have to make a revelation to you, Stephanie.
Because I'm kind of evil when I create these questions,
all four choices are actually right in all of the questions.
(both laugh)
So you got it correct, (congratulatory music)
semicircular canals are in your ears.
They are primarily responsible
for your balance. - Okay, god I'm so excited.
No, I'm not gonna touch my face.
- On top of the laptop, I'm going to give you
a thousand dollars cash (register cha-chings)
as a huge thank you
from me to you. - That is amazing.
- Thank you so much, Dr. Mike.
- We owe a huge debt of gratitude
to all the healthcare superheroes out there.
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
And thank you to Lenovo for sponsoring this video
and allowing me to give out some beautiful computers
to even more beautiful people.
