Hi, I'm Bob. I'm someone's doctor and because statistically most of you watching this are as dumb as my patients
I'm going to guess you do a lot of the same stuff. So as a favor to all your doctors
I'd like to point out a few things
Way way too many of you are putting things in your butt that are not made to be inside butts in medical shorthand
We call these cases insertions
Once upon a time a man had the brilliant idea of soldering a surprisingly large dildo to a metal bar
I assumed this was so he could grab on to it and you know
plum around while it was inserted hmm. It was a noble attempt. I guess but for some reason the handle didn't work
He got the dildo stuck inside himself and all his ingenuity and craftsmanship couldn't get it back out again
He couldn't sit down to drive didn't want to call an ambulance and pay $1,000 like some sort of impaled Rockefeller
So he put on the baggies pair of pants he owns and took a walk of shame all the way to the hospital
Once he was here. Well we have tools for this sort of situation
terrible unspeakable tools
I think he actually found that part exciting though, so that story has at least half a happy ending?
If you're watching this you're probably not a doctor there aren't all that many of us
And we understand that the rest of you have important things to deal with
To help you out the good people who make medicine include instructions on all their products
but if you don't read those instructions
Well things can go wrong one particular case comes to mind a couple had been in earlier that day to get help for the wife's
Constipation their doctor gave her a box with two enemas for those of you
Who are lucky enough to not know an enema is a little bottle of fluid with an uncomfortably long spout
This poor hopefully illiterate woman took one look at the spout and knew exactly what it was for
drinking
But that's not why she came into the ER
No
she only saw us because she hadn't been able to force herself to drink the second bottle and she wanted to make sure that just
Taking one was okay. I
asked if these come in a box and are there any
instructions with pictures on the side of the box
So uh is it a problem
she drank the enima? I called poison control and
because I'm a good human being I didn't tell them the call took 20 minutes because the poison control office couldn't stop laughing
On the upside the enema still worked the woman just suffered horrible Lovecraftian abdominal cramps
And that wasn't even a bad call at least the lady had a legitimate issue, please call poison control even if your problem is hilarious
For every hour a doctor's been actually seeing patients
We've got to spend around two hours charting documenting everything we did for insurance companies and the government
it's roughly as rewarding as making passionate love to a pile of sawdust and
When we actually do get to see patients a lot o f them are this guy
Did you know Americans consume roughly 80% of the global opium supply? I'm not exaggerating for comedic effect
we are
taking all the drugs and most of us don't need them so a big part of my job is saying no the people with
back pain
Now it can be hard to tell when someone's lying about pain
Ahh my back, and back pain is a real nightmare, please Doc
Just drugs, but I've heard way too many Forty-Year-old men say I'm allergic to Motrin and Tylenol
I can only take
Percocet once I turned a patient down for painkillers on the ground that not a damn thing was wrong with her
She started yelling to the whole ER
that she and her kids were going to wind up sleeping on the streets because I wouldn't hand her a prescription,
It turns out. She'd been selling her pills. She needed them for rent money you
can't get angry as a doctor
You've got to stay professional move on to the next patient and if you aren't careful that can kind of break you
See the most important thing. You should know about your doctor is that he might be living a life of unspeakable despair
So there's a particularly horrible brain tumor called a pontine glioma it grows in the brainstem
The part of your brain that knows how to keep your body alive
And it tends to strike children initially the child has minor symptoms double vision trouble swallowing
Maybe some weakness then the tumor mercilessly and inexorably kills them and there's not a goddamn thing
I or anyone else can do about it and after dealing with that
I have to go to my adult spine clinic and immediately deal with the guy with a nearly invisible
disc herniation who's demanding narcotics and a disability statement?Please let me get some pills doc
just one pill or two and then I go home and chart for several hours until I get to sleep. hey can I have some pills please I just have all these
You grow some of that morphine
It would actually be great if the main side effect of all this frustration and stress was whimsical cartoon violence
Unfortunately, it's lots of suicide male physicians are three times as likely to kill themselves as the general population
Female physicians are four to five times as likely to commit suicide
Every year the U.S.
loses the equivalent of one full medical school graduating class to suicide all this as we're looking at a projected shortfall of
90,000 doctors by 2025
Only 3.9 percent of Medical school students are depressed
But one year after they start their internship and actually work as a doctor
That number jumps to Twenty five point seven percent
And you can all do a little bit to help with this crisis
Take better care of your butt's read the directions on your medicine and don't go to the doctor when you want to get high
