(Dr Jordan laughing)

Today, we're going a thousand years into the future
and reacting to some of the strange
and crazy medical-type situations
and medicine from the TV show,
Futurama.
I've never seen Futurama before.
So for those like myself,
who might not be familiar with the show,
I read that it centers around
a 25 year old pizza delivery boy,
whose life is pretty much going nowhere.
One day he accidentally freezes himself
and wakes up 1000 years in the future
and has a chance to make a fresh start.
And evidently there will be hilarious medical scenes,
but we'll see about that.
But before we get into it,
my name is Dr. Jordan Wagner.
I'm an ER doctor that deals with every medical situation
that you can think of.
Gunshot wounds, COVID, broken hips, firework mishaps.
I created this channel to answer the medical questions
that I get asked every day from people.
If you find this video helpful,
please smack that subscribe button
and turn your bell notifications on.
That way, you learn when I post a new video.
All right, let's check out the clips from "Futurama."
- So my efforts to establish diplomatic relations
with the cactus people were doomed from the start.
- Oh!
Ow. Just first off,
cactus thorns are painful.
Remember? I always say, don't pull anything out.
If it's just into the skin, like a splinter,
that's not gonna cause any major bleeding
and organ damage or blood vessels or nerves.
That's fine to pull out at home.
- I prescribe acupuncture. Let's begin.
(blood squelching) (Fry screaming)
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- What? I mean, what?
- Put it back in me!
- Oh my goodness. Okay.
Acupuncture does have its place.
Typically it's more Eastern medicine
versus Western medicine.
And yeah, that was intense.
- Fry lost a lot of juice.
He's developed Simpsons Jaundice.
- Ay caramba!
- Simpsons jau-
(Dr Jordan breaks off laughing)
So jaundice in itself is a medical term
for when you turn yellow.
At that level, if your body's that yellow,
you probably have what's called a bilirubin
that's crazy high,
having to do with abnormal liver function
or blockage that needs to be checked out. Crazy.
- His only hope is some replacement liver.
- There you go. Liver disease.
- Yours looks like a good match.
- Well, if it'll help Fry-
- Careful, Leela, he knows less about human anatomy
than I do.
- Oh he does.
- But I can't even find my own uterus.
(Dr Jordan laughing) (saw whirring)
- You may feel a slight sawing!
- Liver transplants, a little bit harder.
You only have one liver.
Now you can,
you can actually transplant pieces of a liver,
and it could potentially regrow itself.
(tense music)
- Oh my goodness.
= All we need is a little spine supplement
to replace what Leela lost in that unavoidable saw mix-up.
- Oh my goodness. Oh! - It wasn't unavoidable!
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- I love the, the one chopped off in half
and the person's, you know, she's still alive.
And that it looks like a piece of ham
that it was cut through,
just one bone in the middle
and just like random red tissue.
One, you shouldn't be talking and that's not survivable.
Oh, you bleed out from your aorta
and a lot of things going on in this situation.
And I don't think a skill saw potentially
could go all the way around like that.
- You just had to stop cutting my spine
when I yelled "Stop! You're cutting my spine!"
(Dr Jordan chuckling)
- [Fry] Quit complaining!
- Oh jeez-
- My body rejected your liver.
And now I've got Garfield Syndrome!
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- Went from Simpson's Jaundice to now Garfield Syndrome.
It's really funny.
All right, let's check out the next clip.
- Bender, go steal the doomsday device chain
to the professor's wrist.
Here, swap this for the real one.
- Ooh!
- Ah, the old switcheroo.
(door whooshing)
Here you go.
(wet slopping sounds)
- Oh!
- Put it in the safe, clanky!.
- Oh my gosh.
Amputated his hand.
So I've seen this multiple times.
It's grotesque and gruesome and I feel horrible.
Most of the times you can't reattach the hand
because they've been either ripped off or too jagged.
And there's so many bones in the wrist.
You just can't get these things back together.
And so you end up having an amputation
of the hand or at the mid forearm.
It's horrible.
(breaking glass) (clanking metal)
And just threw the hand away.
You don't just throw away hands in the dumpster.
It's like biological, right?
So it needs to go to the appropriate disposal.
- Dumpster, enjoying a moldy fudgeicle
when suddenly your hand flies over
and slaps me in the tuchus.
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- Slaps me in the tuchus, which is butt.
But they're sewing back the hand.
Obviously you can sew back anything
but the question ends up being,
will it take because of the nutrients that you need
with the blood vessels to reattach the vessels
and reattach the nerves?
- Yes, well, these things happen.
Fortunately, the sphereoboom is still safe.
- Oh, Ooh! (tense music)
- [Farnsworth] Scammed? Me?
Sweetheart? Ooh! - Oh, look for,
the hand is working back to normal, no problem.
Normal function. (Bender laughing)
You typically would not have that.
The hand-
- You do a nice handjob, Zoidberg.
- wouldn't go back to normal like that.
So obviously it's only got four digits, right?
So it's got a thumb and three fingers.
That's not normal.
Now you have a talking head in a jar
but this is in the future.
And things are a little bit different.
- If I could find an undamaged body
could you re-capitate me?
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- I like it.
So, just, you see two different body parts,
you sew 'em back together and see what happens.
Yes, no, we can't do that in medicine these days,
because typically it won't work.
You can have body rejection and then if it doesn't work,
then you're just having this rotting flesh of an attachment,
just sitting there.
And eventually you can cause sepsis
and you can cause osteomyelitis
and just bad infections all around.
(ambulance sirens whining)
Oh, I love the ambulance. (tense music)
I love that different language.
Taco Bellevue hospital!
I love it.
So there's a Bellevue hospital out in New York City
but I like that they added Taco Bell to it.
Taco Bell or Bellevue.
(machine whirring)
All right.
Looking at the eye.
- I don't like the looks of this doctor.
I bet I've lost more patients than he's even treated.
- Okay-
- Oh my gosh.
- What does this look like to you?
- A grayish blob?
- Right.
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- I love that it's a grayish blob,
but you can see that her eye is super-red.
That's basically injection is what we call it.
Conjunctival injection, or actually scleral injections.
The white part of your eye is the sclera.
And that can get inflamed for many different reasons.
And now he's just doing a quick visual assessment.
- And this one? - The first one was a blob
- A grayish blob? - and now we got this
other image of a bird- - That's right.
- With a tennis racket.
- It looks like you might have some mild corneal irritation.
- Oh, that's not good.
- Nice try, little boy.
- So the cornea itself is the very thin cell layers
that are clear that go over top of the pupil
and of the iris, which is a colored part of the eye.
You'll know if you have like a scratch
or anything like that.
It's very painful.
- You may have your textbook knowledge and your real diploma
but I have more skill in my little claw
than you have in your whole carapace!
(Zoidberg shrieking) (Dr Jordan laughing)
- You seem a bit tense.
Here, try these.
- Oh my gosh.
- Sure. Butter me up with candy.
Well, it won't work, sonny!
(Zoidberg slurping) (Dr Jordan laughing)
- Oh!
- Why always the fighting?
- Typically, certain different medications can do that.
So pinpoint pupils occurs when you basically
are taking heroin, morphine or pain pill,
dilated pupils, multiple different reasons,
type of stimulant, right?
So if you're stimulated
and your sympathetic nervous system kicks on,
you're gonna have a dilation of your pupil
so you can get more light in so you can see.
- Your eye just needs some rest.
You'll have to wear this patch for about a week.
(Dr Jordan laughing) (Leela groaning)
- A week?
- So a one-eyed person, you're putting a patch on-
How is she gonna go walk around and see anything?
They're putting an eye patch, that way,
basically the cells will heal without irritation of,
one, your eyelid irritating the layers trying to heal
as well as not letting your eye dry out.
Here we go.
(door whooshing)
- Hi, I'm Heather, your personal euthasizer.
Let's get started with a nice botulism treatment.
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- Let's get a nice botulism treatment.
So botulism or botulinum neurotoxin is what is in Botox.
So that is what helps paralyze our wrinkles away,
so to speak.
- Go to hell, Heather.
- Oh!
(Heather giggling)
(needle squeaking)
In small doses-
- Oh, gross!
So, so botulism can occur in like, busted cans.
So it would be really, really careful if you have,
like a can, any canned food at your house
that it's got, like pressure,
it looks like it's gonna explode open.
Get rid of that.
'Cos there could be some toxin in there.
- Instead of killing you
in the most horrible fashion imaginable.
(skin slapping) (Farnsworth groaning)
(elastic stretching sounds)
- Oh my god-
- Give me back my floppy face! (Dr Jordan laughing)
- So there are specific areas where you actually
get Botox injected.
You don't wanna just shoot around
and get injections anywhere in your face or by anybody.
But check out my other video that I made on Botox itself.
All right. Let's keep going.
(skin slapping) (Farnsworth shouting)
(suckers popping)
- Careful with the giblets!
- Mm, you're still retaining a lot of grump in these points.
More pressure.
(suckers popping intensifies)
- Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
It's like putty.
(Farnsworth groaning)
Oh my goodness.
Massage is really good.
It's really good to relax the muscles
and heal your body faster from different ailments.
- A soothing full body bath in searing hot tar.
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- I like this med spa,
but you don't wanna go into searing hot tar,
you're gonna cause yourself burns.
And with tar, it's gonna stick on there
and just continue to burn.
Holy cow, this guy is 161?
He looks really good,
minus during the massage, half his skin came off.
(metal creaking) (Dr Jordan laughing)
- There. Fixed forever.
(metal clanking) (gas hissing)
- Oh!
- Hopefully that's just hot-
(loud explosion) (Fry and Bender shouting)
- Oh, man, the explosion-
Oh!
As I always say, don't pull it out!
Man, there's pipe straight through the body.
Right below the xiphoid process into the abdomen,
it looks like.
And he's doing okay.
This is probably not realistic,
but you gotta worry about spinal cord injury, aorta injury.
Your liver is part up in that area.
There's a bunch of different things yet
that that area could hit.
- Ah, the hypochondriac's back.
So what is it this time?
- Hypochondriac, right?
Somebody who's always worried that they're always sick.
There's always something wrong with them.
That there's always an ailment.
This happens.
People get worried that something bad is gonna happen.
So doctors just have to address it appropriately
to ease the anxiety and the worries away.
- Well, my lead pipe hurts a little.
- That's normal, next patient.
(metal sawing sounds) (metal clanking)
- What the, what?
Ooh!
(tinny zapping sounds)
So cool!
Obviously all bleeding, you can see inside the body.
And then all of a sudden, this web of healing occurs.
Super awesome.
I wish we had that nowadays.
(mysterious music) (incredulous gasping)
- He's a witch!
- Whoa!
- Fry, did you eat anything unusual recently?
- No. (Dr Jordan laughing)
- Well, what about that bathroom egg salad
from the truck stop?
(Dr Jordan laughing)
- I've had better.
- Egg salad? Hmm-
- Egg salad-
- We'll have to examine your gastrointestinal tract.
- Oh my gosh.
They even, even they're wigged out basically
in this futuristic time where he just healed himself
and they're worried about
if it's related to food that he ate,
but he wants to investigate his gastrointestinal tract,
basically mouth to anus.
Multiple sections of your colon,
all of that stuff they wanna look at.
- If you can't see well enough through the two-way mirror,
there'll be a closeup on this video screen.
(scratching sound)
- Oh geez.
(construction sounds)
What the-
so the doctor's using a stethoscope to hear you-
- We need to have a look inside you with this camera-
- truck, backing up.
Oh!
- Guess again.
- There you go.
Oh geez.
Going up the, you know what, so that's,
that's for your colonoscopy,
you definitely don't wanna put the colonoscopy camera
down your mouth.
That's all I'm trying to say.
(Bender munching popcorn)
I like how it's like a show.
Oh, super cool!
Doing a really good job of showing, basically,
the anatomy of the intestines.
The rings around which basically think,
could hide in different corners.
You're looking for polyps, different-looking,
for bleeding or masses or cancer.
Pretty cool.
(mysterious music)
- Watch for any sudden irregularity in Fry's bowel.
- Whoa-
(Dr Jordan laughing)
(exciting music)
- Super cool! It's got like a whole universe in his colon!
- This used to be a big dump.
- Worms.
So worms happen.
There's different types of, ascariasis is a common worm.
There's a lot of worms that you could potentially get,
round worms, they're called helminths.
And actually it just occurred to me,
kind of weird that mayonnaise,
the main brand of mayonnaise is Helmann's.
And now you have helminths as a medical word
for worms in your body.
- Ew! Puke-a-tronic!
- So the eggs in that egg salad sandwich were-
- Whoa! - Correct! Worm eggs.
And the mayonnaise was probably none too fresh either.
- Talking bout the mayonnaise!
Look at this.
There is some correlation, I promise you,
I've never saw this before.
You gotta be super careful of the things that you're eating
and ingesting, knowing where you get it from.
Because if you get worms in your body,
it can cause malnutrition and a lot of other problems,
but pretty funny and accurate.
All right, well that's it.
I loved it.
That was really good.
That was the first time checking out "Futurama."
And I loved the, the doctor with the claws.
Hilarious. So really, really fun.
