(upbeat music)
- What is this?
Oh my gosh! (laughs)
Cooking debacles, work mishaps and therapy pigs, dope.
Today we're back at it reacting to one of your faves,
"The Simpsons," number nine.
What kind of medical scenes and injuries
will Homer and the crew get into?
I'm not sure, but you know Dr. Nick
will have something to say about it.
Let's dive right in.
- (grunts) Still frozen.
- Oh, you know this is not good?
What did he do?
Oh my gosh, not again.
He's cut a finger - Ah, my finger.
- Homer.
This is actually not as common as you think,
of people actually cutting their own fingers off
with a knife.
- Are you sure that's mine?
- A lot of times it's more lacerations, partial amputations
to where it goes through maybe half the finger,
doesn't go through the bone, cuts a lot of the soft tissues
the blood vessels, the nerves,
but all the way through typically is more from a machine.
(finger sizzling)
(soft music)
- My finger! - Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
The fingers on the grill.
Delicious finger. (sniffs)
Wait a minute
- You're gonna have some bleeding.
So basically you wanna put a bandage on the top
and you want to potentially wrap it
in something that's wet
and then put that in maybe a plastic bag
and then maybe put that on ice.
Basically you're just trying to slow down, necessarily,
the processes of the finger.
You're not trying to freeze it
'cause then you're actually going to cause cell damage
and self death.
And bring it with you, get to the hospital
because if it is such a clean cut,
there is a high chance that reattachment could occur.
- I can't eat my own finger, it's unholy.
Also, it's not quite done,
but sometimes a man has to do the unthinkable,
like eat something medium rare.
- Oh, that's so disgusting.
That's so disgusting,
so, what you would call something autocannibalism.
So you're actually eating yourself.
(upbeat music)
He just chopped off his own toes.
Oh and he is using his own hair as seasoning.
(Dr. Jordan laughing)
He's cutting off his toes
but he's using mitten for his hands.
The most common people that we see end up losing their toes
are patients that have diabetes
because having elevated blood sugar
for a longer period of time,
almost like deadens your nerves.
So then you don't feel when you have a small cut
or you bang your toe
and then you have this ulcer that sits there
or something that's just not healing well
because you also ruin in your blood vessels.
Over time these toes are going to kind of rot out,
get infected.
Sometimes the infection gets into the bone
or you get something called dry gangrene.
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh.
An old school cork screw.
Know how much pain that would be?
Your tympanic membrane, aka your ear drum
is so highly integrated that when you touch it,
even when you accidentally go in too far with a Q-tips
and you touch it, it hurts like heck.
(upbeat music)
What is this? (laughs)
Oh my gosh.
The fact that he is not in any pain and he is just chilling.
I wanna know what did he take?
I just see bandages around his belly
so I'm assuming he cut off his skin to his abdomen
and he is making like pizza of this.
- You shouldn't be snacking in the middle of the night.
It can't be good for your drive. (screams)
(Dr. Jordan laughing)
- Oh my gosh.
The fact that he has a diagram of his second chin,
his first chin, the sirloin.
Oh my god.
Your muzzle, the arm bacon.
What is this? Flabby back ribs.
This is really funny.
Oh, he's missing both legs.
He's already had one.
(phone rings)
- Woo hoo! Marge, they found a donor.
I'm saved.
- What does he need a donor for?
Oh my gosh.
He's going to Dr. Nick.
Oh my god.
The member of the Back Alley Medical Group.
- Boy, you are getting this transplant just in time, Homer.
This is genuine human hair.
- Typically, you use different products,
different medications, different topical.
In real life, if you want a hair transplant
it's your own hair transplanted from one section to another,
but it's your own.
It's not somebody else's hair.
- This is legal, right?
- Legal. Yeah sure.
- Yeah, sure. Whatever. - Nope.
- These drugs
will make the operation seem like a beautiful dream.
(Homer screams)
- Ah. - Oh my gosh.
- You don't just easily find the vein
to inject with a random syringe.
It doesn't work that way.
- Hi, everybody.
(upbeat music)
- Oh my gosh.
He's using a pizza cutter. (laughs)
And there's a bunch of blood vessels
you have to worry about.
So just doing a big incision around like that,
you have to take a lot of care
into watching out which major blood vessels
are actually underneath the skin.
- Who wants to see their sexy, new daddy?
- Oh gosh.
(all gasping)
Oh, looking fly.
- If your fly weren't open,
you look just like Roger Moore.
- (laughs) Oh my gosh.
If somebody's fly is open,
please just let 'em know.
- What are you doing?
You keeping that odd sliced prosciutto
outside my restaurant.
- (laughs) Your prosciutto.
- Wait, how come he can bring a dog in
but my pig has to stay outside like a common snowman?
- Because that dog is a therapy animal,
is a license to help calm those with anxiety.
- Animals are a truly great companion.
Do you have any animals?
Let me know in the comments.
- Don't lick my face, the makeup's lead based.
- Too much lead in your body
can lead to anemia, kidney issues, brain damage,
a whole slew of things.
- So if I get that anxiety diagnosis
Plopper could follow me anywhere.
He could live in my office.
Hey, what are the symptoms of anxiety?
- Oh no, don't try that Dad, you might get into trouble.
Just the thought of it is making me sweat
and my heart is palpitating.
- Panic attack is basically anxiety at full force,
but anxiety in itself is nervousness, palpitation, sweating.
A lot of times when people are very anxious and nervous
they have a tough time falling asleep
because you can't turn off your brain.
Your brain just keeps going, going, going.
- How many opioids would you like?
- I don't want any.
- Typically going to a doctor
and asking for this class of pain medication
throws up big red flags, because you're having pain.
We need to address the pain
but we need to help figure out and solve
how to get rid of the pain
versus these medications typically just cover up the pain.
- Oh, come on, you've got to be dependent on something.
- I Just want a prescription for a therapy pig.
- Fine, plus five opioids.
(Dr. Nick speaks in Spanish)
And one for the doctor. (gulps)
- The medications that are used by psychiatrists
to help this are typically meds
that you use for both anxiety and depression.
- I'll just walk across this slippery rock. (screams)
- Oh, he did fall.
(body thuds)
- (gasps) You're worried about cervical fractures,
you got spinal cord injuries
and as well as trauma to the face and trauma to the brain.
- [Lenny] Oh Good, he can grab onto them pointy rocks.
(sirens wailing)
- He's waking up.
- Oh Homer, I'm so glad you're all right.
(Homer mumbles)
- Oh my gosh.
I love these depictions
of all the different things holding up the limb.
Actually they are helpful
and sometimes we do have that at the hospital.
Just depends on what was broken.
- (mumbles) And this is what you knew hip
is going to look like.
(metal creaks)
- Oh my gosh.
Sometimes people don't want it fixed, if they're very old.
The surgery itself would increased risk of death
for that individual 'cause of their health.
They may say "No, I'd rather be bedbound
and live in a wheelchair the rest of my life,"
versus getting it fixed.
