- I just think you like the vibration feature at this point.
- (laughs) That's what she said.
(both laugh)
- Welcome everybody, I'm Doctor Mike.
We have the amazing Molly Burke here
who's gonna be getting her complementary
or honorary medical license today
by performing surgery. - Yeah!
- Do you remember this guy's name?
Cause I don't remember, I think he has a name.
- He has a name?
Ed? - I like Ed.
I think we should tell the audience
in all fairness that you've played this game before.
- Okay, okay.
- Well, because I know you're gonna be good at it now
and then everyone's gonna be like
oh yeah, she's awesome. - Wait, A,
you're an actual doctor.
(Mike laughs) B, you did this two years ago.
- I did, I did, but I did bad.
- I am blind, - So?
- and did this when I was five.
I literally didn't even know they still made this.
- [Mike] We have a broken heart,
a pencil, an Adam's apple which is just an apple,
- [Molly] These are so cute!
- It's like someone tried to come up with
the cheesiest things they could put in.
- Like so punny. - Yeah.
Oh, punny, I like that.
We're opening the Operation.
Whoa, okay.
So I'm gonna translate what's here for you.
- Okay.
There's Ed, and he's nude.
- Oh my god.
- We're sorry we barged in like this.
There's also a Ziploc bag with cards that say doctor
and you have cash.
- Oh, cash cash money! - Oh, and it actually kinda
looks like Canadian cash cause it's colorful!
- Yee.
Canadian money's plastic.
Is American money paper?
I don't carry money. - No, I don't think
American money, I think it's cotton.
Cause you can wash money. (laughs)
- I didn't get the pun.
- Well like, if you get a lot of money illegally
and then you wanna make it legal,
you wash it.
- Money laundering, okay. - Yeah, washing money.
- Got it.
It wasn't that good.
This just says extra card, not for play,
please throw away.
And I'm not joking.
(both laugh) - Wait actually?
Why did they put it in?
- I am holding cutouts
of all the things we need to take out
of Adam's body.
- Adam? - A fun, Adam?
Did I say Adam?
- Edward. (laughs)
- Edward. - You don't even remember
your own patient's name!
- Sorry, sir.
I wanna see if you can guess what they are.
- Okay. - Alright, you ready?
I'm gonna hand you the first one.
Alright, here you go.
- An ice cream.
- God, you're so good at this!
Okay, this one has a funny name.
The first word of it is a name,
and the second one is an animal.
- It's a name and an animal? - Yeah.
- I mean like, it feels like a donkey.
Is being an ass a medical term?
(Mike laughs)
- The first letter of the first word is C,
and the second word, the first letter is H.
- Charlie horse!
(dramatic music)
So you know what's funny?
I'm an osteopathic doctor
and part of our skills
in comparison to like an MD, because I'm a DO,
is that we have really good palpation skills,
meaning that we feel muscles, bones,
a little bit better than the average doctor
cause we've spent so many hours in the lab
touching people. (record scratch)
That sounds weird. (Molly laughs)
But basically, we're touching other students.
(record scratch) Cause that's all we do,
like we touch... (Molly laughs)
- It's not coming out right. - This sounds so bad.
As students, part of our job
is to touch each other, (laughs) okay!
We do lab work, that's it.
I'm gonna leave it at that.
Okay, I'm gonna, so you can memorize them,
that's the heart. - Heart.
The ice cream.
A wishbone. - Okay.
Just to orientate yourself there,
the wrench is the ankle.
- Well that's his nose, I know that.
- Yeah, how did you know that?
What if it's something else?
(record scratch)
- Like what?
- Well I don't know, what else could feel like that?
(both laugh)
- Doctor Mike!
- I was talking about his thumb!
- It's not fair cause I can't see!
(both laugh)
- What's the rule like if you touch it...
- I think yeah.
- No, okay, you get two chances.
(game buzzes)
(Molly laughs)
- I don't think I'm gonna get it.
- He's just trying to be modest.
(game buzzes) - Nope.
Alright, I'm gonna give myself a second chance too.
(game buzzes) I fail.
- This game's... - No the apple's really hard.
- Okay, let's get another one.
- Alright I'm gonna do one of them.
Water on the knee.
Remove the water on Sam's knee.
- Water?
The water? - You know what's funny?
People do that to me all the time,
that I say water wrong.
- Yeah, water.
- Water.
- Water. - Water.
- You sound like...
- How do you say it? - You're from New York.
- Water.
- Water. - Water.
- [Brooklyn] Do you say dog too?
- Dog, well, depends if I'm saying it to my homie
I'm like, wassup dog.
(Molly laughs)
I'm telling Brooklyn,
- You're so cool. - all day.
(Mike laughs)
Do the operation. - That's really gonna make you
like hip and cool with the kids nowadays.
(board clatters) (both laugh)
- I've realized we can't bring you
into the operating room just yet.
Look at our doggos playing together.
- [Molly] So happy.
- [Mike] Like Bear's like, I have to learn
how to be more useful.
Okay, so this one's gonna be hard for me
because funny bone is inside spare ribs.
(Molly laughs)
This is so medically accurate, oh!
I'm gonna give myself a second chance.
How do people do this?
This is really hard.
(game buzzes)
Pick a card, any card.
It's like I'm a bad magician.
Oh, you got the wishbone.
I think the wishbone, personally,
is the hardest one to take out.
(game buzzes) - Okay, (beep) it.
I'm just gonna... (game buzzes continuously)
(laughs) I didn't say that!
- The one thing you don't want your surgeon to say
in the operating room, (beep) it.
I just think you like the vibration feature
at this point.
- That's what she said.
(both laugh)
- Can you get the wishbone out?
I know you're just playing with it now.
(both laugh)
- That's what she said.
- Our patient here, our lovely Sam,
has suffered tremendously
at the hands of Doctor Molly Burke.
- Specialist.
(both laugh) - Specialist Molly Burke.
I don't think I would let you in the operating room.
Cause I think you might do some damage.
- You know, actually, when I was a child, growing up,
I wanted to be a doctor.
(both laugh)
- And then what happened?
- I went blind.
(both laugh)
- Do you know people by smells?
This is so off.
(both laugh)
Like if one of your friends walks in,
you're like, I know who that is.
- Yeah, I always know when my mom's in a room too.
(Mike laughs)
So oof. - Poor mom is getting
tossed into the wringer.
No, but, do people have their own like, scent
that you recognize?
- They do.
- Or is it just like perfume, cologne based.
- Scent, vibe, energy, voice, like all of it.
So I always know when my mom walks into the room
because we're so connected.
We like, read each other's minds all the time.
- Aww.
Your life hasn't been easy, right?
Like if you could
take what an average life is like
and then you put a lot of challenges in it,
that's what it sounds like you went through
- Yeah. - from what you've told me.
How do you feel like that shaped you as an individual today?
Like outside of the YouTube thing.
Cause like YouTube doesn't define you right?
- No.
- Neither do your conditions.
It's about your experiences
and what you went through
and what you can bring to life.
So like how does that change who you are as Molly.
- I get scared to think of
who I would be if I didn't go through all that.
I don't think I would be
as kind, as empathetic, as open minded.
I wouldn't be as positive and optimistic.
I wouldn't have the passion for helping others
that I have.
- What do you think like,
cause there's people watching this
that may not be going through a lot,
like all their family members might be healthy,
they may be very healthy,
they have a great job.
What should they take away from this?
Cause like, they would watch us and say
well I've never gone through anything,
does that make me less
and what can I do better?
- [Molly] A lot of people come up to me
after they see me speak,
and I'll do like an hour long keynote,
they'll hear quite a lot of my story
and they'll come up and be like
god, like, I'm really battling with depression
and I haven't gone through nearly as much as you have.
I'm like well, it's relative. - True.
- Pain is relative. - Very true.
- I think it's really harmful to belittle people's pain
and people's experiences.
There's nothing I hate more
when people go like,
at least you're not a starving kid in Africa!
- Yeah.
- Well that's not relatable to me.
And like right now, this is the worst thing
I've ever been through. - And not practical, right?
Like cause what do you do with that?
- That's not helpful. - Yeah.
I do think, and this is a great segue
for us to finish up,
that I think YouTube and social media in general
get villainized too often - Oh my god yes!
- as just being all negative
or all causing anxiety or all these negative things.
- Yes.
- And I feel like there's so much positivity
that's being overlooked. - There's so much good on this
platform that doesn't get
the love from mainstream media,
from parents, from teachers.
There's so many amazing communities.
Like I have people all the time reach out
and say I live in a rural town
in like, El Salvador and I've never met
anybody who's blind
and I've always felt so alone.
Thank you for like making me realize
I'm not the only one.
And like you're educating people like,
this is good stuff!
This is important! - Like yes,
we're playing Operation, having a good time,
or talking about toes.
- But there's more behind it.
- There's a lot more behind it.
I hope you guys enjoyed our little Operation
- Operation! - and the lack
of a medical degree for Molly today.
She's not Doctor Burke at the end of this, sorry.
- But we do have Molly Burke disease now.
- We have Molly Burke disease now,
and if you wanna learn about Molly Burke disease,
which is not yet an official disease
but we're working on it, - But it's really exciting.
- and where we talked about Molly's toe,
Molly's thumb, Molly's shoulder,
(Molly laughs)
and other body parts that I won't name here,
go check out her channel
and watch the video. (both laugh)
Stay happy,
- And healthy!
- Yay!
