- I've watched BuzzFeed medical videos.
I've been in BuzzFeed medical videos.
But today I'm actually reacting to BuzzFeed medical videos.
Let's give a huge thank you,
to my long-time sponsor Thrive Market.
And while I watch these,
I'm gonna be doing a little seaweed snack.
(upbeat music)
I played never have I ever with Dr. Mama Jones.
- Never have I ever gotten a really bad grade
on something in med school.
- Who hasn't? I mean, med school is tough.
Like some of the subjects just absolutely beat you down.
I dunno why biochemistry really stopped me the most.
- Never have I ever pulled an all-nighter.
- Come on, who hasn't pulled an all-nighter in med school.
If any of them say they have not, I don't buy it.
- I don't believe in all-nighter.
- She's never pulled an all-nighter?
That's really impressive.
- I would go to bed at like 10:30 every night.
- Look she knows herself ,that's impressive,
that's a good thing.
The fact that she's organized enough to prevent that
from being a problem, amazing.
- Never have I ever messed up when learning
or trying to do something.
- Oh God.
- And that's what learning is about.
- Even if you read about doing something,
in practice, it's a completely different story.
Like you learn on a mannequin and you go to see a patient
and then you realize they are human not a mannequin
and they have their own intricacies
and anatomic anomalies, it gets hard.
- For us we are practicing intubation,
which is basically a putting tube in someone's mouth.
So that they can breathe if they can't breathe on their own.
And it was mannequins obviously but the very first thing
the doctor said was, "Don't go like this,
or else you're gonna break their teeth."
- And the actual mannequins have a design in them
so if you are pulling like that
it makes like a huge crunch noise to scare you
and teach you that you could could be hurting their teeth.
- Never have I ever fallen asleep in class.
- I remember.
This is such a funny story to tell.
When I was in undergrad,
the professor had a very strict rule,
if you were going to fall asleep in the classroom
you had to sit in the back row
and rest your head against the wall
so it looks like you're paying attention.
That was a legit rule and I thought like he was being
maybe sarcastic or something so one night
where I didn't get good sleep,
I'm in the second to last row and I fell asleep on my arm.
He kicked me out of the class.
And at the end of that class there was a quiz
that I then got a zero on.
I really thought he was kidding.
- I am not a doctor.
- By the way doctors aren't also good at pronouncing
these medical terms.
And Sam already has told me that I have to pronounce these
so be prepared for some bad pronunciation.
English is my second language.
Borborygmi, borborygmi
This is actually just like the sound your stomach makes.
So like this isn't that exciting.
- Borborygmi.
(ringing)
- I feel like it has something to do with the butt.
- It's an ADHD problem.
- Being born with an extra of something.
- Like you got a bad butt.
- Why is everyone talking about butts?
Choledo, ooh this is good.
Choledocholithiasis.
I've actually pronounced this term in residency
'cause I couldn't pronounce it.
Choledocholithiasis.
I don't even need to look at it.
'Cause it was so hard for me to pronounce.
I actually practiced, reciting this.
'Cause this means you have a gallstone
in the common bile duct.
- Choledocholithiasis.
(laughs)
- That guy is my favorite.
Ankylosing spondylitis.
This is an easy one.
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- I like when they call it, Ankylosing
Temporoparietalis. But like,
I think this is just like a headache.
You have to take it Latin.
So temporary means your temples, parietal is the sides.
Parietalis, I don't know what this is.
- Temporoparietalis.
Oh, it is a scalp muscles.
Sphygmomanometer, remember Dilshad couldn't get this.
- Sphygmomanometer
Sphygmomanometer.
- It's Sphygmomanometer.
Is that how you say it?
I thought it was Sphygmomanometer.
(laughs)
- We'll be back to the content just a second
but let me tell you about Thrive Market.
It's an online marketplace where you could buy thousands
of products for your home
for your pets, for your groceries.
It's where I love to do my shopping
'cause I simply don't have the time to go
out to the store and buy all these products.
I can have them shipped directly to my door.
The best part is you're going to be saving money
eating healthy, living a healthy lifestyle.
It can get quite expensive, but
by shopping on Thrive Market members on average
save $32 per order. On top of it
they make it super easy to browse their website.
Just type in the diet that you follow.
The ethics that you have.
Keto, paleo, gluten-free, vegan.
It's all right there on their website.
And all of this is not just good for you.
It's also safe for the environment
because they have carbon neutral shipping
and zero waste warehouses.
They have multiple membership options
for you to choose from one month to 12 month.
For me, the 12 month package at five bucks
a month really seems to be the most reasonable.

off your first order and a free gift.
Definitely do it now.
If you're gonna be buying groceries and products

- What's the craziest thing you've seen in the ER
a guy with the thing used for guacamole, I guess
to like grind it I don't know what that thing's called.
He put that up his rectum.
- I feel like we did like a whole Reddit thing
of people putting weird things into their bodies.
While with Dr. Jones on the channel said something similar.
- The things that come along with gynecology are endless.
Anything you can imagine has probably happened.
- What's the worst smell you've experienced.
- I don't know if you want to hear this.
- An infected gangrenous wound by far the worst.
- Has an incident ever freaked you out.
There was a guy that came
in one time and I unwrapped his foot
and there was magnets all over his foot.
And it was my job.
Lucky me to go and clean up the maggots
and the maggots pretty much ate like down to the bone.
- Well the maggots usually eat dead tissue.
They're not feeding on live tissue.
So that means there's some kind
of gangrene already setting in there.
- How often do you have to look up a diagnosis?
- Every day.
I mean, things are changing all the time.
- You see a lot of the same things all the time.
And then like once in a blue moon, you'll get a,
you'll get something that like you don't know at all.
- I mean, that's part of medicine.
You just can't know everything.
So yeah. You're going to look stuff up.
When you look stuff up
you become more comfortable with dealing with the unknown.
And that's what makes medicine fun.
It's like an ever learning field.
(upbeat music)
- Do you still check web, WebMD when you don't feel well?
- Absolutely. First of all, everyone still checks WebMD.
Even when you become a doctor
maybe you shift over to Medscape
but little did you know WebMD
and Medscape are the same company?
- Do you rely on coffee to keep you going?
- Now yes. Med school no.
- Every single day.
There's a schedule too.
It's like for three months coffee and then two week break.
So that it works again.
- That's a true doctor.
He's like cycling his caffeine intake to
make sure he's getting the maximum benefit from it.
- Have you ever successfully diagnosed yourself
with something?
- That's classic med school 101, you learn a condition.
You think you have the condition, you learn a condition
that occurs in one per million people that comes
with a headache.
You have a headache.
You say you have this condition.
It's just normal.
It's part of the process.
- No, but I have successfully misdiagnosed myself
with a bunch of things.
- What was your least favorite part of medical school?
Step one.
- That's the first boards that you take
like the licensing exam.
Oh, you have to know so much information.
So much of it being pretty practically speaking useless.
Oh man.
That was tough.
Cause that decides a lot
of times where you end up in terms of your residency.
So like.
- Is it true that a lot of med students experiment
with drugs?
caffeine all the time?
- Caffeine yeah.
- I wouldn't say experiment.
- I feel like there's more to that story.
Right from the ocean dolphin and turtle safe.
I'm not joking either.
Yay tea with honey.
Menuca honey green tea combo.
A little lemon with the vitamin C kick. Yummy.
No, no, no, no.
get that apple cider vinegar out of here.
Now it doesn't stop there.
Stop that nonsense right now.
The honey actually works quite well for cough.
The American Academy of pediatricians actually
recommends this as part of their growing body
of evidence that honey can work as well
or better than some over the counter cough suppressants.
You just have to make sure not to give honey
to kids younger than the age of two.
- This is just extra.
You do not need to do this for cough suppression.
Just let it cough.
Like if you have phlegm in your lungs
and you're trying to get it out, let your body get it out.
This is a good thing.
Drinking, lots of fluids or a decent amount
of fluids when you're sick and phlegm is really good.
Cause it actually thins the mucus
and you're able to clear it easier.
- Oh come on. This is like a commercial for almonds.
This is definitely sponsored.
That's like saying, oh, your head hurts.
Take a magnesium tablet come on.
- Come on!
- I mean, I just prefer going out and shelling
out the five bucks or so for like the saline nasal spray.
That's really good.
Cause it does clear out your sinuses.
You can just like spit it back out.
In fact, it's also really good for allergies as well.
So yeah, I'm for it.
I just don't know like this technique specifically.
Never do this. You're going to wake up with athlete's foot.
Cause your foot has been soaked in water.
It's all going to be all shriveled up.
We don't live in the 18 hundreds anymore.
Like you just don't need to do this anymore.
That's ridiculous.
The reason you're having a fever is to actually improve
your body's chances to fight off whatever bug
is causing you problems.
So putting on cold socks is not the solution.
I would never recommend this.
