- You son of a ****, you gave me herpes.
(Jordan laughing)
- Peter the worst nurse ever,
whatever this disease is,
and plenty of other wild moments
that may make you gasp.
Today we are back at it,
breaking down all of the hilarious medical scenes,
and ridiculous injuries from "Family Guy."
All right, let's dive right in.
- Look, I don't really feel comfortable
sharing my health problems
with one of my buddies,
can I get a different nurse?
- You're in a hospital, Glen,
anything you say is private
and confidential,
and legally protected by HIPPA-
- Don't say it.
- Potamus.
- Hippopotamus. (laughs)
No, HIPPA.
It's a law that we have that basically protects
sensitive information of a patient.
And there's other components to it,
but that's the general part of it.
So doctors won't wear white shoes typically
'cause they're gonna get messy
with blood, guts, poop, snot.
Typically you wanna wear something
that's actually just whatever color,
maybe it's a uniform that the hospital's making you wear,
but something you could actually wipe off and clean.
- You know.
- Sure.
- And I don't have a prayer of finishing,
unless I kick it up a few notches,
like weird notches.
- Uh-huh.
- Oh my gosh.
At the hospital now, we used to use pagers,
the hospitals, these little cell phones
that were at the hospital,
but everyone would lose them.
Now they actually have it
so you can use your own cell phone as a physician,
and all the calls get voted right to your cell phone.
But patients think maybe you're on your own personal phone,
but it's like no, no, I'm getting hospital numbers,
hold on, I gotta answer this.
- You know, Mrs. Fletcher ends
and Watchman starts, which scares me,
but now it's too late 'cause everything,
you know.
- Oh my stars.
- Hold on a second, I got a text.
- I don't know exactly what's happening.
So for me at the hospital,
does this happen where maybe I half pay attention?
Typically not.
As an ER doctor, we're trained to kind of
just be aware of everything going on around us.
Sometimes patients will just tell a story,
long winded stories.
Unfortunately, we are trained,
and I'm a New Yorker,
to be able to interrupt at the appropriate times
to kind of redirect the questioning
to get specific answers that we need
relating to your health versus
hey, 10 years ago this happened,
this happened, this happened.
- Hey, how foon would it be if we waved sticks around?
- I really don't know what we're doing.
- It's foon from the word before.
I don't see what's...
(Peter screaming)
- Oh my gosh.
- First let's take your blood pressure
'cause that's our favorite thing to do around here.
(doctor laughing)
- Man.
If somebody came to the emergency department
with a foreign body stick in somebody's eye,
you wanna stabilize that bad boy,
that way it's not just willy nilly flopping around.
You're gonna eventually get the vital signs
because you need to know heart rate
and blood pressure,
you need to know what you're dealing with.
Respiratory rate, temperature, that sort of thing.
Obviously there's going to be a globe rupture,
a rupture of the eye itself
'cause there's a puncture wound to it.
And it is dirty and it's foreign
so they're definitely gonna need some antibiotics.
Now the question ends up being
where was it injured,
and then is the retina injured?
You need an ophthalmologist.
Oh man, what the?
Oh my gosh, like blood brothers.
Yeah, no, please don't do this.
You do not need people mixing blood,
that's how diseases are spread.
Blood borne pathogens, right?
The big thing is HIV, hepatitis B and C,
those are your big ones that you worry about.
There's definitely other bacteria our there
you can share.
Please don't do this.
And then obviously now you have a cut on your hand,
you gonna leave it open
or do you need to come see me in the hospital
and get it sutured closed?
- I think we should hold hands more often.
- There you go, we're blood brothers now, you happy?
- Actually yes, I mean I really feel the bond, Brian.
- Just having a little kid
having access to knives prob ably not the smartest
thing in the world.
If a kid that age comes to the emergency department
who had access to a knife,
child protective services
are definitely going to be called,
and you're gonna get questioned a lot as a parent.
Aww.
Whoa.
- What the hell?
Ow.
(doctor laughing)
Ew, what's this?
- What's he got, herpes?
- You son of a ****,
you gave me herpes.
(doctor laughing)
- Typically you give somebody the herpes One virus
when you have your own outbreak on your face,
and then face it along to somebody else
via kissing, touching their face,
where there's another open sore area.
Same thing when you get herpes simplex two,
which is basically genital herpes down below,
again, same idea.
But just remember you can always give the virus down there,
and you can vice versa give it back up the other place.
- What?
What are you talking about?
- When we swapped blood.
Look at my lip, it's a disgusting herpes sore.
And now I have some very uncomfortable phone calls to make.
(doctor laughing)
- Anybody that you might have kissed
or have been partners with,
you should definitely let them know
that you had an outbreak
so they can get themselves checked out.
That goes for any STI.
- Look, it can't be my fault, Stewie,
I don't even have herpes.
- Oh, yeah, let me see?
- Hey, hey, what are you doing?
Stop it.
(doctor gasps)
Oh my God, look at you,
you're more herpes than dog.
(doctor laughing)
- You're more herpes than you are dog.
People try to hide it.
Male genitalia, obviously difficult to hide,
but female genitalia, sometimes it can be,
obviously, in an area where you can't see
'cause it's inside.
- You knew you had herpes-
- He knew he had herpes,
and he shared it.
- Relax, it's not that big a deal.
- So I would say that a large population
of society has the herpes virus within their bodies,
not everybody has an outbreak of that.
So typically herpes virus is not spread via the blood.
I guess there is a theoretical risk
that that could occur with blood transfusions like this,
but most of the time it is basically contact
of the herpes virus to an open area.
- Are you even listening to me?
You've gotta stop coming home so late
if you can't get up in the morning.
And (high static buzzing).
- (laughs) That actually can happen,
one, from being super tired,
but another is just being woken up
in different stages of your sleep.
So if you're woken out of your REM sleep
or very deep sleep,
you're gonna be groggy,
and be like I don't hear anything.
But you also could hear it
if you've ever heard of something called tinnitus
which is high pitched ringing of your ears,
due to typically damage to the ear itself.
(high pitch static beeping)
It's kind of scary to wake up,
and not hear somebody's voice.
A lot of people worry about having stroke.
Typically if it's just your hearing
it's unlikely related to a stroke.
Could it have a specific area of the brain?
Possibly,
but typically it's probably some other reason why.
(high pitch static beeping)
(doctor laughing)
Obviously if you're on fire
stop, drop and roll, right?
Smother it out, get checked out
for the degree of burn that you got.
(high pitch static beeping)
- Oh God, I can't hear Garfield.
- Wow, here we go.
So there's different types of hearing loss.
Typically there's sensorineural
or conductive hearing loss.
It has to do with how the sound is transmitted
and then perceived.
Is it a neurologic problem, a nerve issue
or is it related to the bones of the ear,
and the different windows
where things have to move,
and the air moves the sound.
- What's going on?
Can he fix it in time for me to DJ at the music festival?
- No.
- What?
- No.
- What?
- If somebody's actually having difficulty with hearing,
we actually would rub our fingers near the ear itself,
and see if somebody can actually hear that.
And then you can actually use something called tuning forks
which will help to determine the differentiation.
Is it basically conductive versus sensorineural
in the sense of if you smack the tuning fork
do they hear high pitch, low pitch.
