- I know, but it's nice that they served hot dogs
for the surgery.
- There it is, give me that.

- So I've reacted to Family Guy once,
but you guys have been flooding my comments
requesting a part two.
And who am I to let you down?
For those of you who aren't too familiar with Family Guy,
this show is anything but a family show.
It's an animated show, on FOX,
that follows the Griffin family
and their day-to-day antics.
But, before we get into it,
my name is Dr. Jordan Wagner.
I'm an emergency room doc
that deals with every medical situation
that you can think of.
I created this channel to answer the medical questions
that I get from people every single day.

- What are you doing, Peter?
- I'm making my own Red Bull.
Lois can't stop me from experiencing
- Oh jeez, oh jeez. - the manic highs
and lows my body demands.
- Whoa, whoa, hang on.
You're adding kerosene?
- Oh my gosh, I love the ingredients.
- Peter. That's insane. - Yep.
- That'll destroy your body.
- Kerosene is fuel. - No.
- Red Bull is fuel. - No.
- Kerosene is Red Bull.
- Oh my gosh. - Why don't you leave me alone
while I'm doing my important work.
- It's going to explode.
- Peter that drink will kill you.
- Brian, whatever kills me makes me stronger.
- So, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Not whatever kills you, but stronger.
- See Brian, I feel great.
- Oh geez, oh!
- Peter, Peter, are you alive?
- So kerosene is a type of oil.
Don't use things that say, like, toxic,
or have like the skull and crossbones on it,
or have used for external use only.
Do not ingest these things.
There's specific reasons why.
- Dr. Hartman, please tell me
is my husband going to be all right?
- Ah, Cancun actually, thanks for asking.
Just got back. - What?
- And I'm afraid all those toxic chemicals,
your husband ingested from his homemade energy drink,
have caused total kidney failure.
- Yep.
- Oh my god, kidney failure.
- Some different types of things
that you can ingest can cause kidney failure,
such as antifreeze is one of them.
People will drink that cause there's
an alcohol component to it,
but it can actually clog up your kidneys
and cause renal failure.
Just don't ingest anything that you shouldn't.
Kidney failure, different things can actually
erode your esophagus, and your stomach, and your lining.
Cause gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Well is he going to be okay?
- Well yes and no.
We'll put them on a kidney transplant list.
- Whoa.
- But that could take months.
Until a donor is found,
he's going to have to undergo dialysis treatments
three times a week.
- Dialysis? - Yep.
- Is there any other way?
- Yes, there is.
- Whoa! - No, no, no, no, no, no.
- We'll do the dialysis.
- We need our kidneys to function
to get all the toxins out of our body.
We then will say, okay, you need hemodialysis,
which is what everybody refers to as dialysis,
where you get a big IV line in,
and literally it's taking your blood out of your body,
into a machine, cleaning it up,
so to speak, and then putting it back in.
People have to sit maybe four hours a day,
three times a week, to have this done so they can function.
- Three weeks later.
- Hey doc, I'm here for my dialysis.
- Oh, have a seat Peter. Let's get you hooked up.
- Doc, I don't know how much more I can take,
its been three weeks.
- I know, I saw the caption.
(laughing)
- I'm just going crazy just sitting here for so long.
- Oh, I know it's tough,
but maybe there's something I can do to make it easier.
Here, play with this bucket of after birth.
- Oh my gosh.
So, after birth is another word for the placenta,
that's disgusting.
And he's picking it up with his bare hands.
That's a horrible, but yes.
Dialysis can be very boring,
but it's necessity because if the electrolytes go haywire
actually can kill somebody.
- Oh my God. That shark's attacking quagmire!
- I think its got him by the wiener.
(laughing)
- Oh, that's horrible.
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
That's horrible.
All right, shark attacks are a thing.
All bandaged up. Okay.
- Doc give it to us straight.
- What'd they do?
- What's going on with our friend?
Well, Mr. Griffin, there's no easy way to put this.
So I'm just going to come right out and say it.
He's black.
- Not that friend, Quagmire. - What?
- Oh my God. I don't know, that's horrible.
- Okay. But you're going to have to learn to live
without a penis.
Or will you?
- Oh, that's so messed up. That is so messed up.
- That is kind of rad.
- Your gift is inside.
- Oh my gosh. What is this?
(laughing)
- Is that your?
- Yes. Glenn. It's my penis.
- Oh my gosh.
- After my surgery, I kept it in my freezer.
I want you to have it.
- The likelihood that this organ is viable
is probably zero to zero, but it's a nice gesture.
People actually do this all the time with kidneys
never really heard for a penis.
- I'm so nervous for Quagmire.
- I know, but it's nice that they
served hot dogs for the surgery.
- There it is. Give me that.
- Oh my gosh. Just stole the doctors food.
There we go.
So urologists would specifically be doing this.
- Nurse you put it on there. I'm not gay.
- Oh my gosh. That's horrible.
Anatomy is anatomy, physicians don't ever say that.
We look at everything from an anatomy, anatomical viewpoint.
- The operation was a success. Congratulations Quagmire.
- Thanks guys.
- All right.
He had a successful re plantation of his penis.
Hopefully it works.
Usually after surgery like that,
you'll probably have a full catheter in place.
That way you can drain fluid out, AKA urine,
and that way there's no issues having to urinate.
- Okay, heart sounds good.
All right, Mr. Griffin,
I'm just going to need you to drop your pants
and we'll check your prostate.
- Uh, what?
- Drop your pants, turn around, and lean forward.
- Um, okay.
- Again, he's not wearing a hospital gown.
So we need to do that.
Dropping your pants to do a prostate exam.
It's just so blunt. I think the easiest way,
the nicest way for a patient, unfortunately,
it's that maybe lie them on their side,
cover them with like a sheet or a blanket,
and only expose the buttocks and do the procedure.
The whole procedure is not comfortable.
- So, how's this work? You just feel my pulse.
Or, Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
(laughing)
- The prostate sits right next to the rectum.
Just below the bladder.
We're looking to do a screening test
to see if there's any lumps, abnormal growth,
those sorts of things up the prostate.
So we can detect prostate cancer early.
So you do a digital rectal exam.
You use a gloved hand,
and you actually talk the patient through it,
because if the patient is fighting against you,
it's a muscle. So you can't get in.
There's no sneak attacks when it comes to a prostate exam.
- Mr. Griffin, that's a prostate exam.
- Shut up. You had your finger in my ass!
- That's how a prostate exam is performed.
Now if you'll just let me.
- Get away from me!
- Oh my gosh.
(crying)
- That's not funny, but it's funny.
- What happened?
- I was raped.
- Ahaha.. what?
- Look at his wife laughing at him.
- He took my innocence.
- Hah what?
- Peter, that's a prostate exam.
It's an important part of a physical for men your age.
- You sound just like him.
- It is true.
If you don't know what you're getting into,
if you don't know the reason why or what the procedure is,
you might actually feel like you were being violated.
But a doctor's job is to explain what we're doing
and why we're doing it.
A patient can always refuse a procedure, or a test,
anything that we do understanding
the reason why we're doing it,
the risks and the benefits of doing the procedure.
- So what can I do for you, Mr. Swanson?
- Doc, I can't take it anymore.
I want to walk again. I'll do whatever it takes.
- Well, there is a highly experimental new procedure.
It's essentially a leg transplant.
- What? That's cool.
- Sign a waiver. I think I may be able to help you.
- He's paralyzed, right?
His legs don't work.
A leg transplant wont specifically work.
So if he had a spinal cord injury,
putting on a new set of legs,
the information to the legs is still in error.
It's not going to work.
Hopefully we're going to move into the future
where we could potentially have these
new neuro connectivity to previously paralyzed parts
of our body that can then work.
That'd be really cool and awesome.
- We'll select the legs most suited
to your body from our inventory of donors.
(laughing)
- I love it. I love it. Okay.
There you go. Nice.
I love the different options.
At least you could see what the future holds.
- Ah good choice. These are the only ones we have in stock.
That aren't hilarious.
- I'll take them.
All right, Doc, I trust ya.
- Good.
Now I'll just pop in the how to video
and we'll get started.
- What?
- Hi, I'm Jamie Farr.
- You never want to hear that before you're going down.
So typically when you're going for surgery,
you will be given medications in the IV,
but you never want to hear a doctor say,
let me just go look it up on a video,
or I've never done this before. This is my first time.
You don't want to hear that,
every doctor needs to be trained appropriately
for the procedures that they do. Like myself.
I've been trained specifically for the procedures that I do
in the emergency department.
If I'm not credentialed to do something
I shouldn't be able to do it and I shouldn't do it.
- And you're about to perform leg surgery.
- Oh, no. Let's see what happens.
- He's been in there an awful long time.
I hope everything's all right.
- I'm assuming it's going to take a long, long time.
- The new Joe Swanson.
- Oh my gosh. Whoa. I see the light.
Look at him! He's standing proud and walking.
- Well, what do you think?
(excited overlapped talking)
- They still got that new leg smell.
- I put his old legs in a bag if you want them.
- Oh that's messed up. That's messed up.
First off. It's a miracle that,
that happened, again with spinal cord injuries.
The limbs are not the problem.
It's the connection to the limbs.
But the fact that they saved his legs and give it to him.
I don't even know if you can request that,
but that was really, really funny, and cool.
I love family guy. Very fun to watch.
I hope there's more clips that come in the future.
