- Dhar Mann is a hyper popular content creator,
both on Facebook and YouTube,
having nearly 30 billion views on his videos.
And today we're going to watch some
of the medically-themed ones to see how accurate they are
and see what moral principles I learned from them.
Let's get started.
- Mrs. Swanson?
We just got your results in and we need
to get you into surgery immediately.
- Doctor, I was just fine this morning.
- Look, there's not a lot of time to explain.
- There's plenty of time to explain.
Any doctor that tells you that,
unless you're actively bleeding out or having a heart attack
and you see a million people rushing around you,
there's time to explain.
- This is what the surgery is gonna cost.
(dramatic music) - What?
There's no time to explain why you need surgery,
but let's chat financials.
- Now we looked into your insurance
and they are not going to cover it,
so you're going to have to pay for this out of pocket.
- We don't bring bills to patients
who need life or death surgery.
It just doesn't work that way.
We do have programs
for those who live below the poverty line
for the government to help subsidize their care.
We also have charitable resources for things like this,
like my hospital has a charity care system
in place for this.
No one's bringing you a bill for life or death surgery
right before and saying "Oh, if you can't pay it, bye."
- 14, 14B, here we are.
Ugh, it's not fitting.
- Here, let me help you with that.
- Thank you so much.
I don't know why they make these things so complicated.
- They're not complicated, you're just not smart enough.
- Who acts like that in real life?
I feel like passengers would get involved if that happened.
I mean, just the other day I saw that passenger
who got like duct taped to his seat
because he was acting up.
- Sir, that's not very nice.
- What?
I'm just being honest.
I mean, look at him.
- Who, literally, who talks like this?
- Nice book, how you like it?
(laughing)
- Okay, well, it's called "Advanced Physics",
and it is by Thomas Watson,
one of the most prestigious physics scholars
in the entire world.
And I would explain it to you,
but I don't think you're smart enough to get it.
- Individuals who are diagnosed with Down syndrome
definitely have their fair share of troubles
with other people in society
because people are not always nice
and they're not always understanding.
A lot of times that comes from ignorance.
Sometimes it's ignorance that is by choice
where they don't want to learn about certain conditions.
And Down syndrome is actually one
of the most common chromosomal abnormalities.
And it's really a diverse set of phenotypes that result
from these type of chromosomal abnormalities.
- That book is even better, the next chapter.
- What are you talking about, how would you know?
- Because I am Tom, Thomas, Watson.
- Every person diagnosed with Down syndrome
has their own unique abilities and can thrive in society.
It's just sometimes they need more help than others
in certain instances;
whether it's occupational therapy,
physical therapy, behavioral therapy.
Some don't need that at all.
Some perhaps need extra medical screenings
for certain conditions like diabetes
or gastrointestinal illnesses.
But to judge someone simply because of the way
that they look, you're going to be wrong
and you're setting up yourself and that person for failure.
- Just turn your quiz towards me, okay?
And I'll copy the answers.
- No, that would be cheating.
- Fine, ow. - Are you all right?
- No, my stomach, it really hurts.
- Did you eat something bad?
- Maybe, I'm allergic to peanuts.
It might have been in something I ate.
(groans)
- Oh, in that case, you better go to the nurse's office.
- But I don't wanna miss your quiz.
- It's okay, your health is way more important.
- I feel like kids do this all the time.
As a teacher, you can't assume that children are lying
because the first time that you assume that that's the case
is going to be the time the child is actually really sick
and something bad happens.
- All right, everyone.
We're doing one mile today.
- What?
Are you crazy?
That's way too far.
- We could do two miles. - Dude.
- Let's go, follow my lead.
- Hey, your shoelace. - Oh, thanks.
Actually, I've got an idea.
(grunts)
- Oscar nominated fall.
(grunts) (beeping)
- My ankle, I think I twisted it.
- Your shoelace is untied.
It's probably how you fell.
Can you put any pressure on it?
- I don't know, let me try.
(grunts) Barely.
- If you aren't able to bear weight immediately
after an ankle injury, based on the Ottawa ankle rules,
you need an X-ray.
- He twisted his ankle on our run today.
(laughing)
Looks like he's feeling better, though.
- He told me he had a stomach ache this morning,
so he couldn't take the pop quiz.
- There's actually a medical term
for this called malingering.
It's not the first thing I think about
when patients do come in, but sometimes they come in asking
for prescriptions they don't need,
days off of work, disability insurance, disability placards.
(choking)
(wheezing)
- Are you okay?
- No, feels like I can't breathe.
- Did you eat this bar?
Well, this has peanuts in it!
- No wonder I'm having an allergic reaction.
- Shoot, we better get you to the nurse right away.
- But I can't afford to miss your quiz.
- It's all right.
Health always comes first.
- If he's being honest,
he's going to need an EpiPen right now
and an EpiPen kind of hurts.
- Is he doing okay?
- No, he's having trouble breathing.
He ate some peanuts and he's allergic to them.
- Oh no, we should get ready to operate right away, then.
- Operate?
No, there's no need for any of that.
- He may be in anaphylactic shock.
- Who operates for anaphylactic shock,
without trying an EpiPen first?
- I'm fine, really.
See, I can breathe normally.
- The last time I heard a patient say that,
a few moments later, she slipped into cardiac arrest.
- What?
No, hang in there, Mikey.
- What is happening here?
Where is the medical accuracy?
Vitals, fine, child's comfortable,
sitting, breathing, speaking full sentences.
These are the things I would write in the chart
to say that they should absolutely go home now
and stop taking up the bed that is there for someone
who's in true anaphylactic shock, who needs an EpiPen.
- [Doctor] I'm calling a code red.
- A code red?
What is even a code red?
Is that a fire drill?
- We got a level five anaphylactic shock.
- What is a level five?
(sparkling) Woosah.
There is no such thing as a level five anaphylactic shock.
- I'll make the call.
- Make the call to who?
Ghostbusters?
- Nurse, sedative, now.
- Sedative for what?
He's not breathing and you're going to sedate him further?
- I'm gonna give you a heavy dose in three--
- A heavy dose of what?
Can you start an IV first and put it in the IV-
(error sounds) (gasping)
- I faked having an allergic reaction,
so I didn't have to do our test.
I didn't mean for it to go this far.
- Well, I don't even blame the kid at this point.
The mom is like all over the place.
This doctor's like Dr. Kevorkian right now,
trying to like sedate him without checking his vitals first
or starting an IV.
- It's too late.
- What are you doing?
- We still have to give you a shot.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Malpractice, child abuse, malpractice, poor acting.
- Fake, retractable syringe.
(laughs)
(groaning)
- What did I just watch?
Do you know how busy hospitals are?
- It's not real.
None of it is.
- We just got all of the hospital staff
and this bed for you because we're all so wealthy
and have unlimited health care here.
Aren't you happy?
- Not even the siren.
That's not even hooked up to anything.
We knew you were faking it all along.
Thanks for all your help.
- And sorry to all the patients who may have died
while we were doing this play acting thing.
- You are in big trouble,
but we'll deal with that when you get home.
(dramatic music)
- I need a break after that.
The teacher just leaves the classroom,
the doctor sets up a fake scenario,
they get fake medical equipment.
They hit a button on the thing that makes the alarm go off,
but it's not connected to ...
What in the actual F is going on?
- Look, we picked up your cake for your birthday.
We even got- (grunting)
- My cake. - I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to.
I just lost my balance.
- This is all your fault.
If you didn't have that stupid limp,
none of this would've happened.
- What happened?
The cake spilled?
Who cares this much about cake?
- Why did he have to transfer into my school, huh?
I don't want anyone to know he's my brother.
It's embarrassing, I wish I had a normal sibling.
- Is everything okay with her?
Like as a doctor, clearly I know that she's acting out.
Is it family troubles?
She getting mistreated or bullied at school?
A lot of times as humans, we displace our anger,
on specially people who are closest to us
because we feel most comfortable with them,
and they're the ones most likely to forgive us.
Like remember, mental health is equally important
as physical health.
There's a lot of other potential reasons
for things to be happening.
That's a prime example of charitable thinking.
We need to do that more often.
- When the two of you were little,
you'd play together outside all the time.
(record scratching) - This is so dramatic.
- [Dad] You ran out into the street and you didn't see a car
that was coming.
It almost hit you.
But your brother saved you.
He pushed you out of the way,
getting hit by the car himself,
almost sacrificing his own life,
to try and save yours.
- If your child's involved in a car accident,
especially one that serious, do not pick them up.
By picking someone up without their spine being protected,
you could actually cause a lot more damage,
even something as serious as permanent disabilities.
- [Dad] The doctor came in and told us the bad news.
That he would never be able to walk normally again
for the rest of his life.
- I don't know why based on a fracture
of the tib-fib someone can't walk again.
That is absolute medical nonsense.
Especially on the first day of injury
like they're describing here.
You put some hardware in there.
You let it heal.
Especially as a young growing boy,
it would be fine.
If there was neurological damage to the spine,
that's a different story,
but then you wouldn't be showing an X-ray like this.
- And since that day,
your brother has always walked with a limp.
- It's different walking with a limp versus walking
with the type of crutches that he has, supportive crutches.
Medically and physically,
this is a little bit inaccurate here.
(stuttering) Hello.
I think you should vo--
- It's vote, genius.
- Paula, that wasn't very nice.
- I'm just saying.
How is he going to beat me
when he can't even pronounce the word?
(laughing)
- My man here is exhibiting PTG, post-traumatic growth.
Despite this stutter,
he's still sending through a powerful message
from his own experiences.
And the power behind that message comes
from the fact that he has experienced this bullying.
More power to him, and the fact that he's able
to go on stage and overcome this stutter
and overcome the fear of public speaking is huge.
Because did you know, the number one phobia out there,
in the world, is public speaking?
- Enough is enough.
Not anymore, not if you vote for me for president.
- Also interesting to note that our current President,
Joe Biden, has a stutter.
- Steven is the next class president
of Lincoln Middle School.
- There we go.
And there's actually treatments
that are available for stutters,
usually working with a speech pathologist.
They do a really great job at helping folks
understand the reason behind their stutter.
Sometimes it's mechanical.
Sometimes it's psychological.
I actually saw a speech therapist
when I was like four years old back in Russia,
because I couldn't say-
(trills)
My tongue wouldn't do it, but now look-
(trills)
I'm like a little tiger.
Tiger. (meowing)
- You weren't scared giving that speech?
- Post-traumatic growth.
He inspiring peeps.
- I love that.
(gentle music)
(record scratching)
- The cheesiest smile ever.
- Kathy, what are, what are you doing back?
- I got done with chemo early today.
What's with all the boxes?
- Hey, why don't, why don't we go upstairs and talk?
- Give me a sec.
(retches)
I'm trying to be strong,
but it's like this chemo is taking the life out of me.
The only good thing I have in my life right now is you.
- Chemo takes a huge toll on your body.
It obviously depends what type
of chemotherapy you're getting.
A lot of times, chemotherapy is partnered with radiation,
sometimes surgical treatments.
Remember, the purpose of chemotherapy
is to destroy the cells that are cancerous,
but we don't have a perfect chemotherapy
that only targets the cancerous cells.
There's also healthy cells that sometimes suffer
as a result of the chemotherapy.
Thereby making you feel terrible,
nauseous, losing your hair, fatigue, bone pain.
I've seen this firsthand in my family with my mom
because she went through chemotherapy.
She went through a stem cell transplant
and I've seen how difficult that whole journey is.
Like, it is not easy.
Losing your sense of self as a person,
when you start losing your hair,
you start changing the way you look,
changing the way you feel,
your sense of humor sometimes goes away.
And that's why it's so important
to have a good family structure
and support structure in place.
Because without that, it's very easy to lose yourself
and go down to a dark spiral.
- I've been seeing Jess.
Look, you're sick.
And it doesn't look like you're gonna get any better, so--
- Oh my God, this is the most savage line.
- What about what you said to me
when you found out I had cancer?
- First of all,
no one delivers cancer news through a letter.
I even call back our patients
and ask them to come back to the office
for like a basic STI result, let alone cancer.
That's a serious conversation.
And a lot of times these conversations
are had multiple times,
because the first time a conversation is had,
the patient's not even comprehending
or listening because they're so upset.
- [Narrator] Eric goes on and starts his new life with Jess.
Now that he doesn't have to worry about Kathy anymore,
he doesn't seem to have a concern in the world.
- If you're Jess and you just saw this dude
leave his wife in the middle of a crisis,
you're not concerned?
- [Narrator] But then one day, a few months later.
- He goes to the same doctor that mails cancer results.
I wouldn't be surprised if that letter said:
"To whom it may concern ..."
- [Narrator] It turns out, Eric has cancer.
(record scratching) - Okay, this is ridiculous.
You need to figure out what kind of colon cancer you have.
You need to do the biopsy, pathology workup.
Like there's just so many variables
that are being missed here.
It's not medically accurate.
- [Narrator] Jess decides she isn't going
to stick around anymore and leaves him.
- Karma, this is hyper simplified, hyper dramatized.
This kind of stuff does happen.
But to the simplicity and degree
that it happens in these videos?
To me, is not hyper accurate.
Doctors say some really bad stuff.
Click here to check that out.
I actually improved this whole thing.
And as always stay happy and healthy.
Click that bad boy now.
Watch me have mustache, wig, doctors, need, click.
