- I've got bigger problems right now
than supporting your commie music.

Seth MacFarlane's classics are a staple on this channel.
That's why today we are learning about and reacting to one
of your favorites, American Dad!
This show is hilarious, 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.

All right, let's dive right in.
- You can't hold that pose forever.
- [Dr. Jordan Wagner] Nice.
- I can. I'll never quit.
(Dr. Jordan Wagner laughs)
- Ah the vein!
- The vein, gross! And the judges love it.
(Dr. Jordan Wagner laughs)
- I'm absolutely losing my mind here.
- You can work the muscle actually really well.
So you're actually increasing the need for blood and
oxygen to get to the tissue.
Veins could potentially grow,
but again, over a longer period of time.
Oh, whoa.
An aneurysm has a softening basically spot within the blood
vessel and an artery typically, and it can rupture.
And then you would just have bleeding.
What ends up also happening is you can have what's called a
AV malformation or different types of fistulas that could
also cause bleeding in the head. So let's see what happens.
- Francine's extreme exertion during the competition,
caused her to have an aneurysm.
- There you go.
So the issue ends up being, what is that bleeding doing?
And how much is it expanding?
Is a person on a blood thinner or not?
These are all factors and what's happening is it's a
confined space. The more blood in the brain,
the more the brain gets compressed
and is trying to escape out.
Sometimes a neurosurgeon needs to come in and do a Burr hole
where they drill a hole through your skull
to relieve pressure.
These things are done emergently sometimes right in the
emergency department.
- She's in a coma.
- This is totally my fault.
If only I hadn't strong armed my way into that body
building competition.
- Stan snap out of it.
- So you can see that
there's a little bit of anger going on.
Most likely it's related to steroids.
And then we've all heard what's called steroid rage,
where it's just messing with your
hormones and people just go nuts.
- These machines are keeping her alive.
- Are you guys on drugs?
- Very much.
- Yes an incredible amount. Yes.
- Yeah. That's not good.
- She's unresponsive.
- What the doctor is doing is shining a light.
You're looking for a pupillary reflex.
So when the doctor shines a light,
you're looking to see that the pupils contract,
when you go into an area that's fully lit your pupils shrink
to decrease the amount of light that's coming in.
And if you're in a dark area, they dial it.
Medications can change this as well.
But it also has to do with basically the basic brain
function. So if that's not occurring,
the person probably is either brain dead or is on
potentially different types of medication.
- I'm a man. A man Francine.
From my head down to my low hanging --
- Oh! Right into his grapes.
- Stan! Are you okay?
- You actually got to be careful.
You can actually like seriously injure them, bruise them.
Probably not as easy to rupture them.
They're more of a solid organ,
but you can cause inflammation,
something called orchitis or you can cause inflammation of
the epididymis, which is around it.
There's always a possibility that the rake actually goes
through your shoe and punctures the bottom of your foot to,
oh my God. What is this?
- Okay I'll bite. What's up with the gyroscope on his junk?
- Stan was injured.
(Dr. Jordan Wagner laughs)
- I love that they call that a gyroscope. That's awesome.
- And went into a rare condition,
known as testicular retreat syndrome. His nuts
were so traumatized,
they ran up into his body to heal.
- Testicular retreat syndrome.
I'd never heard of this before.
Yes. Testicles can retract up.
When we were being made inside of our mothers
testicles are inside of our abdomen.
And they actually descend out through the different canal.
So we go outside of our bodies.
So sometimes people have undescended testicles,
and so what ends up happening
is sometimes they need to be surgically taken down.
The opposite typically doesn't happen.
- They might drop down again someday,
but the doctors say there's a good chance
they'll just die up there.
(Dr. Jordan Wagner laughs)
- What?
You can actually live without your testicles.
But hopefully he doesn't.
If you don't have your testicles due to trauma, cancer,
or weren't born with them. You can live a full, fulfilling,
sexually active life.
You may have a little bit of difficulty procreating,
but there's always means around that as well.
- Why the hell didn't you dicks
show up to our balalaika concert?
- I've got bigger problems right now
than supporting your commie music!
- It's definitely not real,
but sometimes it might feel like you need to speak in high
pitch because it hurts so bad.
Whoa, a satellite just fell on him.
- A shooting star just hit the house. Everybody make a wish.
- Is everybody candy?
- With several months of physical therapy,
your body should fully return to normal.
- You basically don't ever put somebody in a mummy outfit.
In a hospital it's usually a splint
because if you put something in a cast,
it's all the way around and you're still having swelling and
you can actually swell into the cast itself.
Versus if you just have a splint,
it allows the body to swell in that specific area.
- Of course, you'll never walk again.
- What?
- Of course he'll walk again!
- Big maybe.
- So that he can't walk like, okay.
Sometimes doctors may say that to motivate somebody.
If they know him well,
but sometimes if you say they can't walk,
people will actually believe it and manifest it to where
they won't walk.
- I sincerely want you to get better.
- What? This is awkward.
- Now, if you'll excuse me, this bird's got to fly.
- What?
- Hopefully doctors don't kill themselves,
but lately there've been an uptake in suicides among
physicians, suicides affect all professionals,
all walks of life. If anybody is feeling suicidal,
there's always phone numbers to call.
There's always hotlines. Even just reach out,
leave messages. People will be there to help.
- What the hell was that?
- I'm not hurt.
- I think you're still on top of it back up.
- No! Oh!
- Oh my god I hit Francine.
- Francine.
- We should probably leave a note.
- I can't tell you the amount of times
I've treated somebody in the last few years
that has been hit by a car it's like astronomical.
We need to watch each other's back drivers and
pedestrians.
- Hello, I'm Dr. Gupta.
- Is my wife going to be okay.
- Really? Because the way you're looking at me,
it seems like you're concerned with something else.
- What? What the heck?
- There. Now, can we move on?
- Oh my gosh. This doctor has a weird bedside manner.
When you actually go through your training in medical school
and residency,
you're actually like taught basics of bedside manner.
- When you ran over your wife
it caused her brain to detach from her central nervous
system.
- So her brain detaching from the central nervous system.
That's almost like the brain is just not functioning
anymore. I'm assuming is what they're trying to get at.
- She's what we in the medical profession call a husk.
- I've heard of that.
- So there's no medical term that we use as husk.
She's still got a heartbeat. She's still beating.
The question is neurologically. Where does she stand?
- We can reattach her brain,
but it's an experimental procedure.
Your insurance won't cover.
- A lot of times when somebody has neurologic injuries,
you actually need a little bit of time, a couple of days,
at least to let things kind of sit in and see where they end
up because inflammation can cause things to be worse.
And you can give medications to decrease inflammation,
unless there's like a complete sever of like the spinal
cord. And there's no repairing it.
That's a different story.
- That's my wife.
I don't care how much it is. I'll pay it.
- It's $178,000.
- Whoa.
- What if I don't need her to talk?
(Dr. Jordan Wagner laughs)
- What if I performed the surgery?
- Sometimes when a procedure costs a lot of money,
you can actually negotiate at times the cost to come down.
Clinics and doctor's offices that also do income-based
payments, that sort of thing.
So there are options out there.
- Once again, great job on that surgery.
- Yeah, it was touch and go there for a while.
That all's well, that ends well.
- All right we're at a rehab.
- What's this one mom?
- That's right, ball.
(Dr. Jordan Wagner laughs)
- Almost behaving as if she's had a stroke
versus reattaching her brain.
- Safety first. Now let her rip.
- Oh my gosh. This is a bad situation.
- What?
- Well luckily its only a minor injury.
- What the heck was that?
Why would you put that piece of wood on your lap?
- Minor? I doubt we'd be calling it minor
if it was your wee wee.
- Why is he continuing to get like traumatized
to his genital areas?
Now the question ends up being, was it punctured?
Was it burned? Let's find out.
- Finally the burn ointment.
- Ah, burns.
The damage is already done.
So now you just want to cause pain relief,
which you can use pain medication anti-inflammatories and
really the only creams or meds that we put on topically is
ointments to keep the tissue like moist. So it's hydrated.
And then if the skin opens up from like a second degree burn
with a blister, opens up,
maybe an antibiotic ointment
to prevent it from being infected.
- Smith. I'm elbow deep inside the Vice-President's chest.
This better be important.
- Vital. How do you use ointment?
- Oh just take a large gob and apply it directly to the
effected area.
- Oh, okay. But the affected area is my --
- Doctor the aorta has ruptured.
- Clamp onto it with both hands.
- Whoa.
- Okay. But to do that,
I'm going to have to put you on speakerphone.
- Doctor the artery is retracting.
- Pull on it, pull with all your might.
- Oh my gosh.
- I feel weird. Maybe I should stop.
- The doctor is trying to talk to his nurse
or his scrub tech to be able to stop the bleeding.
You should probably clamp that aorta
so you're not bleeding out and it's retracting because it's
a muscle. Let's see where this goes.
- Don't quit on me now you son of a bitch. Keep pumping.
- But I'm, I'm ---
- Aww! It's got to be painful
and it's going to change basically, it's erectile tissue.
So it's going to change in size during the day and nighttime
cause you get nocturnal erections. That's normal.
It's going to be extremely painful as the skin stretches.
These are hilarious. I love the American dad series.
We can all even learn something,
even though they're quite entertaining.

medical situations that you want me to break down further
and explain?
