- Peter, I'm afraid you suffered something
called Pedalton Balls.
(Jordan laughing)
(test tone beeping) - Peter, Stewie and the gang
are back with a vengeance.
That's right, today we are reacting
to Family Guy number nine.
You know, there's going to be some serious
medical malpractice happening.
Let's dive right in. (test tone beeping)
- [Coach] Good morning, are you ready to sweat?
- I woke up sweating. - Okay.
(Jordan laughing)
- Yes.
If you are sweating in the middle of the night,
one, you could be having an infection
and you're breaking a fever.
But the other thing you worry about
with night sweats is tuberculosis.
The occasional night sweat, it's fine.
But something that becomes more persistent
with other symptoms,
just something to think about
and discuss with your healthcare provider.
- Check that it's covered by your health care provider!
- Ow, ow, ow.
My balls.
- What is he doing?
- No, the other ones.
Ow. Ow. Ow.
(Jordan laughing) Ow!
- Oh my gosh.
Thank you, whoever wrote this,
for calling out Peter's ball sack chin.
We all think it, every time we look at him.
You have this space, for a male,
between your ball sack and your butthole,
called your perineum.
This area has specific nerves and blood vessels,
and that can get compressed.
If you've ever gone
on long bike rides and everything feels numb down there,
it's because you're messing with your pudendal nerve.
Oh my gosh, they took him to the hospital.
- So what do you think happened to my voice, doc?
- (laughs) Oh my gosh, this is great.
It doesn't happen that way.
Your vocal chords don't change tone
because you got kicked in the balls.
You might not wanna speak, 'cause you hurt,
but it doesn't have any effect.
- Peter, I'm afraid you suffered something
called Pedalton Balls.
(Jordan laughs)
- Pedalton Balls.
- Here's a video explaining everything.
- Pedalton Balls.
A painful condition, where your testicles get lodged
next to your voice box.
(Jordan laughs)
- Sometimes you can actually have an undescended testicle,
or when it's very, very cold,
the scrotum shrinks up
and the testicles kind of come up in a little bit,
but they shouldn't be going intra-abdominal.
So no, your testicles cannot go
right next to your vocal chords.
- Don't worry, with the help of gravity,
Pedalton Balls will clear itself.
- Isn't there anything I can do
to help my voice get back to normal faster?
- I don't know, I just like putting on videos.
(record scratches)
- If you have testicles that go inside,
you need to see a urologist, and it's an emergency.
You're always worried about blood supply,
related to the testicles.
If you don't have blood, you don't have oxygen.
If you don't have oxygen to the tissue,
the tissue's gonna die.
If it happens to both testicles,
then you're gonna run into the problem
where you might become infertile.
What the hell, he's stuck to the couch?
It happens.
It's almost like an open wound,
that's then healed into the couch.
Somebody puts a bandage on you and then it dries.
And the bandage sticks to your wound.
It's the same idea, because the tissue is healing
with that type of fabric around it.
- You'll be fine.
Here's a video to help you understand.
- Oh my God, this doctor and his videos.
No, just talk to your patient.
- [Oliver] When a fat guy's sweaty skin presses
against couch fabric for an extended period of time,
the fabric fibers fuse together with the skin.
- So almost right, it happens to everybody.
The idea that the fibers are being grown in,
the fibers don't do anything.
It's the body's uptake of them.
- The procedure is called
"Rip you off real fast," very painful.
(Jordan laughs)
- Ripping it off like a bandaid.
As you rip it off, you're gonna open up the wound.
- Ready?
- Actually, I've decided to keep the couch on me.
- Really?
Are you sure?
- Oh yeah, this is nothing.
- Can Peter actually walk around
with a couch that heavy around his back?
He's gonna have a lot of lower back pain.
When you lift heavy objects,
you need to lift with your knees.
'Cause if you bend over at all,
you're gonna put too much strain on your lower back,
and be in a horrible situation.
- My back!
- Peter, enough is enough. - Uh oh.
- That couch is coming off.
(Peter grunts)
(record scratches)
- You wouldn't put bandages
around somebody's neck like that,
because you can cut off circulation to their brain.
Oh, he's on a ventilator, kinda how we do things.
It's pretty close.
They did a good job by how it's fixed to the face.
We have something that has pads
and it wraps around the tube
so the tube doesn't move.
- He's in what we call a comma.
- He's not in a comma.
- It's not a - comma.
And we don't even call it comas.
We just say "he's unresponsive."
People can be in a coma for years.
And then that becomes medical, legal,
ethical situation relating to the family of the patient,
and the doctors that are taking care of them.
Oh, we're at a burger joint, nice.
- Peter, you should really slow down.
You've already had like 30 hamburgers.
- Shut up, Brian.
It relieves the pain
of muscular stiffness. - Oh my gosh.
- And it's working.
I no longer feel the pain.
- Oh, he's emotionally eating.
I very rarely eat hamburgers.
Typically when I do, it is very lean hamburgers.
- Very lean.
- Balanced diet is key.
- Come to think of it,
I can't really feel anything on the left half of my body.
- Really? That doesn't sound good.
Peter, are you winking at me? - Oh no, he's stroking out.
(Peter shouts)
- Oh my God, - Twitching.
- Someone call an ambulance.
- Are strokes caused by diet?
Not immediately.
A long-term bad diet could lead to other medical problems,
which then increase your risk for having a clot.
- Doctor, what happened?
Is he gonna be okay?
- Mrs. Griffin, your husband has had a stroke.
The left half of his body is completely paralyzed.
- Oh my God, Peter, sweetheart.
(Jordan laughs)
- I love that his eye is totally drooped down.
No, that wouldn't happen.
Most of the time you see it in a lower part of the face.
Typically the forehead is spared.
That's also how we determine the difference
between Bell's palsy, as well as a stroke.
'Cause in Bell's palsy,
the whole side of the face is involved,
including the forehead.
- Had better days, Lois.
Had better days.
- But it just has a motor function deficit.
Sometimes you're gonna have expressive aphasia.
Somebody understands that words are coming into the brain.
But when they try to say something, they'll say,
"Hey Dr. Wagner, how are you?"
And I'll say "Dog, cat, baseball."
I don't think you should be driving.
(Jordan laughs)
If you have a stroke where you have massive deficits,
you're likely gonna get your license taken away anyway,
or suspended for a short period of time.
Typically we do the same thing
if somebody's had a seizure.
You can't drive for six months,
unless you're cleared by a neurologist.
Oh my gosh, why is he in the basement?
- Peter, are you okay?
- I was down here all night.
So dark. - So if he's down there
all night, sleeping on a hard floor,
you increase the risk of having muscle breakdown
called rhabdomyolysis.
You also are very concerned about kidney failure,
because the breakdown of the muscles
clogging up in the kidneys.
- Oh my God, Peter, - Why did he age?
- your hair! - Look at the grays!
- It turned white!
- What?
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Stress is one of the big ones
that can actually cause that.
I have grays.
I work really hard.
But a lot of times it's really a change of hair color,
it's related to genetics.
- Oh, how'd you get white hair again?
- He was scared of a ghost.
- Yes, I remember hearing about this in med school.
Or was it a Scooby Doo?
(Jordan laughs)
- Dr. Hartman is the worst doctor.
- What do I do now?
I mean, should I dye it back? - Just dye it, yeah.
- (laughs) I don't know why you'd ask me that.
I mean, I, I don't know anything about that.
How does one even go about dying one's hair?
- I've never heard of anything - Oh,
so crazy. - the guilt of
dying your hair, Lois.
It's okay if you dye your hair, it's fine.
If you want whatever color you want,
dye it, get after it.
- Let me get that for you, doctor.
- What?
Oh no. I'm not a,
- Morning doctor.
- Wow. Peter.
They all think you're a doctor
because of your hair. (Jordan laughs)
I have to say, it does make you look more distinguished.
- That's hilarious. - Really?
- I will say as a young physician,
people call me by my first name a lot.
You know, if I was older,
and I had gray hair, you wouldn't call me Jordan.
You'd call me Dr. Wagner.
At the end of the day,
that doesn't really bother me.
This set of clips from Family Guy was freaking hilarious.
I really hope that you guys liked that.
