(beep) - You have no backside.
(laughing)
(beep) (upbeat instrumental music)
- Yeehaw, partners.
Today we're headed to Texas, again.
You see, previously on my channel
I reacted to King of the Hill
but you guys have been flooding my comment section
requesting a part two.
So today I'm going to be taking a look
at some of the strange and crazy medical-type situations
from one of your faves, King of the Hill.
But before we get into it,
if you're new to my channel, welcome.
My name is Dr. Jordan Wagner.
I'm an ER doctor.
If you enjoy what you see here on this channel,
smash that subscribe button
and turn your bell notifications on
that way you learn when I post a new video.
Alright, let's dive right in.
- You were born with no muscle mass here, no cushioning.
For years, you've basically been sitting on your spine.
You suffer from a disease
called diminished gluteal syndrome, or DGS.
- Diminished gluteal syndrome?
In my medical textbooks,
I've never come across this term before.
Don't think it's actually a real specific term.
- What does that mean?
- Mr. Hill, you have no ass.
- (laughs) Come on!
There are similar diagnoses to minimal
to no muscles in certain areas,
but not this specific diagnosis.
- Prescribe a gluteal orthotic device.
- What? - It's a prosthetic you wear
over your backside to help alleviate the pressure
on your spine.
- You want me to wear a fake heinie?
- (laughs) I guess you can make a fake anything.
But the reason for the prosthetic in this situation
is to relieve pressure off his back and his spine
so he doesn't pain.
(Bobby groaning)
- Bobby, it looks like all that activity you've been up to
is finally caught up with you.
You've got turf toe.
- Bobby's complaining of turf toe.
It's a soft tissue injury.
So it's a sprain of the ligaments around the large toe,
which we call the great toe.
It can be painful because the great toe
has a lot more demand on it
than the other four toes that you have.
And a lot of times when there's a ligamentous injury,
it takes a long time to heal.
- What do I do about it?
- Well, you play through the pain,
and I get to take you to the Heimlich County
Sports Medicine Center.
- (laughs) I wish we can name our facilities here Heimlich.
- So, what's it going to be, Doctor?
Whirlpool, deep heat massage?
Or are you just gonna tell my son to play through the pain?
'Cause I'll support that.
- I love that Hank even knows kind of the therapies
that you would do that are non-invasive.
Basically, physical therapy, work through it,
and then obviously add on some like anti-inflammatories.
- None of that will be necessary.
According to the blood test, your boy here has gout.
- Gout is basically deposits
of this specific type of crystals into the joint itself,
causing a type of arthritis and inflammation.
- Well, gout occurs when uric acid crystals form
in the bloodstream and collect in an extremity.
- Oh, I guess there's an echo in here.
- What you need to do is quit pumping your boy
full of pure iron rich foods,
like anchovies or herrings and organ meats,
you know, kidneys, hearts, liver.
- The boy is not a ghoul.
He doesn't eat that stuff.
- Trying to go over the different foods
that can exacerbate or bring on gout having to do a purines.
I like how Hank's just pissed of.
- Bobby's gout will clear up
if he stays off those deli foods.
In the meantime, I thought this might help.
- Oh no!
You can't have a 12-year-old walking around with a cane.
If that patient came into the emergency department
that I'm treating, I'll give you crutches.
I will not give you a cane.
Anti-inflammatory, typically the medications include
indomethacin, colchicine, alopurinol.
Those are kind of the trifecta of medications.
Two of them in the acute setting
and one helps to reduce flare-ups in the future.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- They were pricking my back with pins.
- Oh, you were getting an allergy test.
(chuckles) You still want that Merlin tattoo?
- (laughs) Ouch.
So, I've even had that skin allergy test.
Holy cow!
The little needles aren't bad.
They're really not that bad.
It feels like somebody's scratching your skin.
And then they test you
for a lot of different common allergies
and you'll be able to see if your body reacts to it.
There's also a blood test that you can do
for allergy testing as well.
- It's not good, and it's about Bobby.
- Bobby's having an allergic reaction to dander.
Now, your wife tells me you have a dog.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down there, Charlie.
And what does a dog have to do with anything?
- Bobby's allergic to the dog.
- So we use confusing words.
So, animal dander typically has to do
with like the saliva dust particles, typically,
and it's usually from domesticated animals.
But we're actually reacting to specific enzymes
that are in those kind of like dust particles.
- Well, you said dander.
How do you know that Peggy doesn't have the dander?
- (laughs) No. Typically humans don't have the dander.
- Hank, the test was specifically for dog dander.
- Allergies can come and go suddenly and mysteriously.
It's a fascinating field.
- The doctor makes a good point about allergies.
You can have shrimp your whole life and then one day, boom,
it switches to where you have an allergy to it.
What happens is your body just changes
the way that it reacts to it
and all of a sudden now you have an allergy.
- Look, if you want a dog inside it says right here
that there are several hypoallergenic breeds of dog.
- There are breeds that they say,
they say all over the internet,
that are a hypoallergenic.
Meaning that these dogs typically have hair versus fur.
You can typically have an allergy to anything
and still could have an allergy
to a hypoallergenic-type breed.
Oh no! - Wait. (screaming)
- Nice.
- Pull the cord!
You're emergency cord!
- Hey! (screaming)
- Whoa!
- Peggy!
- Holy cow!
Unlikely survivable, okay? Unlikely.
But some people have survived.
Very few, but some have survived.
It all depends on what you're falling on.
And a quick note, one in 1,000 parachutes don't open.
Multiple factors that are involved in this,
but this is crazy.
- Ah!
- Oh, we see some feet, but we don't see any movement.
- Okay, think one piece. Peggy?
- Hey hey hey. - Nice!
Peggy survived it.
Woo hoo! (children cheering)
- I'm alive.
- I'm alive!
- Uncle Hank, we're too late.
- (laughs) Oh my gosh. I love this.
No, you would not become a skull immediately
and it's not even the right species.
- Okay, move it.
Good, keep her straight.
- So obviously, okay, first you see this, the paramedics,
she needs to be into a C collar.
- Your wife is gonna be just fine.
- Yes. - Nice.
- Peggy has a compression fracture of the bones in her back.
Thank goodness for the mud.
She would not have survived
if she had fallen on concrete, Mr. Hill, or a fence.
- But she's okay?
- Yes, they're putting her into a body cast right now
to immobilize her while she heals.
- Compressive fractures are axial, so up and down.
So typically it's like landing on your feet,
landing on your head and it compresses down
or landing on your butt and compresses down.
But the way Peggy had landed,
she landed most likely on her back.
But you can have compressive fractures.
- Peggy? - Hank. Come on in.
Look at me. I'm in an ensemble.
My top cast and my bottom cast match.
(Dr. Wagner laughs)
- (chuckles) Yeah, quality plaster.
- Hey, it's good to have a good outlook.
So now, fitting into a body cast.
So we don't cast somebody in the sense of like plaster
around their body typically.
We see this in movies and TV shows.
And at least it was smart with the way they put the cast
to be able to allow her to like have hip mobility
so she can actually go to the bathroom.
She's not gonna be able to walk, right,
but she'll be able to swing her legs,
but they're also attached to the upper cast.
(Bill munching)
Bill's going after his food.
You don't look so good.
(Bill thudding) Out cold.
Bill is like overdosing on bad food, sugars and popcorn.
We'll see if he's now turned into hyperglycemia,
too much sugar,
but I don't know any of his medical background.
- Sergeant, you passed out from a blood sugar spike.
- Blood sugar spike.
So normal blood sugar, 70 to around 110, 70 to 100.
And sometimes after eating food, it can go into the mid 100,
that's normal, and then your insulin will spike
so that way you can take care of the glucose.
- Like you're in the early stages of adult onset diabetes.
- Diabetes? That can't be right.
I've eaten lots of sugar my whole life.
- (laughs) People who have blood sugars over 200,
typically they're diabetic,
and sometimes people can get blood sugars over 1,000.
So you can go into something called DK,
diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hyperglycemia.
- Surely you've noticed recent changes in your body,
blurred vision, frequent urination,
tingling in the hands and feet.
- I just thought I was in love.
How did this happen?
- Seriously?
- (laughs) Yeah, so the doctor brings up good points.
So when you start having tingling,
that means your nerves are affected.
It means the sugar is literally messing with your nerves.
Not good.
- Diabetes is a very manageable disease.
If you do a better job with diet and exercise
you'll stop it from progressing.
- I've even had friends that they ended up having diabetes,
but they were able to reverse their diabetes
and get off all medications by dietary changes.
It does work.
These videos and clips were hilarious.
I am starting to like King of the Hill a lot more
and a lot more the more I'm viewing these clips.
Do you have a favorite show that features medical situations
that you want me to react to?
Let me know which show or episodes in the comments below,
or if I missed any King of the Hill scenes
that I should check out for another video.
And, as always, make sure you subscribe
if you wanna see more fun videos like this one.
Thank you so much for watching and stay healthy, my friends.
