Doctor Reacts To Family Guy Medical Scenes
Get a 60-day free trial at shipstation.com/doctormike. Thanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the video!
I reacted to Family Guy medical scenes a couple of years ago and you all seemed to enjoy it, so today I decided to react to some more! Today we talk about dog bites, breaking your neck by doing stunts designed for professionals, Stewie's plastic surgery and whether we should give botox to babies, suppositories, liver damage from drinking alcohol, cancer, giving doctor's tips, Stewie taking steroids, and Peter fighting the Chicken!
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

the "TicktackToe" is called "cross hatch" a common shading method, and it was used in comics to depict bruising or small lacerations when realistic wounds would not be acceptable under the comic book codes of the day. It has become a stylisitic holdover from that time, and is an easy way to depict a minor injury that is easy to replicate on animation cells.
thank you friend. I've learned something today
As an animator I can confirm
I literally typed out the same thing with different words before scrolling down to see this. You wrote it better lol
The more you know!
DON'T READ MY NAME!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Mike be laughin' when he sees the characters getting brutally mutilated each time
Savage
Me too
It's a cartoon. What do you expect? 😂😂😂
Surprised he managed to keep a straight face during Stewie's picture.
@@ericweiss6258 that legit horrified me😂😂
Peter : does this get fixed with ice or heat? Mike : uhhh no
Ok, Dallas from Payday 2.
yeah we know we were watching the video as well
@@tufted6007 no I just thought it was funny and pointed it out in the comments because it was quite funny
@@CallSign-BoneFort78 it is funny idk what tufteds problem is
@@aviatorheist8383 yeah
The tic-tac-toe squares at 7:12 are callled cross-hatching, it’s an art technique to denote shading/bruising leftover from when cartoons were hand drawn with ink and paint to save time and money before digital art.
There is a medical TV show that is on it's last season this year, which would be great for you to review next it is called Doc Martin, it's a British comedy drama, he was a vascular surgeon, but becomes a GP (family medicine Doctor same as you), the show is medically accurate, and to top it off it is hilarious.
I hope he sees this
Yes, yes he should, I love that show
Hi
Love the show he should review it
Yes please dr mike, watch it! I love this show so much!
2:02 It's funny to see Dr. Mike being so shocked about a cartoon dog biting a cartoon character 😂He has seen way worse in other videos and even in the first two minutes of this video but THAT made him gasp?! 😂
idk man, rabies is the most terrifying disease I know
Well, I'd say it's because Brian is pretty much sentient, and sometimes you forget he's a dog. He wasn't expecting him to bite because of a suppository
@@umpteenthreason9627 while that's true, that would be no different than a person biting another person. Literally the clip before that flipped Peter's bead and neck upside down
@@bextomoose And how often do you see people biting other people in fiction(unless they're vampires ;-P)?The shocking value of that clip is real because in comedy you usually go over the top unrealistic for laugh so if you've seen a lot you're kinda trained to expect the unexpectable.When you suddenly see an action you _could_ see in real life but you _rarely_ see in a comedy,it DOES catch you off guard!😱And part of the shocking factor _is_ also due to the fact your brain suddenly reminds you this _could_ happen in real life!Like...seeing someone getting shot in"Buffy"instead of being bitten or hit by a stake...???(No particular scene in mind...;"""-((( 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔)
@@bextomoose A person biting another person to that extent would be horrifying too. Could actually kill you if not treated due to infections. Human teeth are *nasty*.
Anyone wish he reacted to rest of the hernia scene? I would liked to see him breakdown it's accuracy.
Timestamp!
@@mattrowan8617 6:36
ER doctor Jordan Wagner did
7:32 I like how mike just keep explaining things while the fight is going brutal
I had a lactation consultant primarily diagnose me, and suggest a treatment plan. I went to my doctor and he said, “I’ve never heard of that, I’ll be right back.” And he looked it up in some medical journals, printed out the pages for me, highlighted them, and said, “Well, I had never heard of this, but yeah, it’s a thing. And the medication she suggested could work. If you’re comfortable trying it, I’m comfortable with it.” I LOVED that doctor. He was patient, he was humble, he listened to me, he explained the medication… he was a Godsend. And several months later when I saw him suffering with postpartum depression, he was so gentle, and walked me through treatment options, and strongly suggested therapy in addition to medication. Loved. Loved. Loved him.
Sorry but the way you worded it made it seem like the doctor had postpartum depression 💀
@@wilavg thought the same thing
@@wilavg omg, me too. I even thought that maybe her doctor was trans and recently gave birth, and that's why he was suffering from postpartum 🤦🏽♀️
@@wilavg same 💀
He couldn't have been patient. He was the doctor
8:50 *THAT WAS TRAUMATIZING LMAOOO*
FR
Funny usually but creepy at this point for me due to thunderstorm outside lol
I like how Doctor Mike is professionally explaining ridiculous scenes from cartoons
Doctor mike: don't google your symptoms Also doctor mike: 2:31
I cant stand that advice, you should ALWAYS google and research your symptoms, it could literally save your life. About 80% of the time i have come to the same conclusion as my doctor before i have even seen him.
You can google, just don't act like you are capable of correctly diagnosing yourself if you're not
A doctor has the medical knowledge and expertise necessary to process, fact-check and analyse information presented by books or the internet, which they can use to increase their quality of care for patients. That is very different from diagnosing yourself with cancer out of thin air after googling about your coughs. It's fine to search up your symptoms, who knows, maybe it can save your life, but it preferably shouldn't act as a substitute for diagnosis. Leave that part to your doctor.
Well they have much more knowledge and can diagnose with a higher accuracy than the average person
a doctor can look up symtoms of a virus/symtom that you have
I like how the title says "terrible medical advice" as if family guy has any good ones 😂
😂😂😂
I'm trying to defend family Guy... But I can't think of any accurate ones they have😂
@@heikanaomi4426 to be fair it’s a comedic show so accuracy doesn’t matter
i honestly really appreciate that you added vomit warnings into this, i have a phobia of vomit so little things like this are just really appreciated!
me too, I was looking for a comment that said this!
Yes! 🙏🏻 But I am fine with Cartoon Throw up. Just can‘t deal with real sounds and all that comes with it
I was looking for that comment too! I really appreciate the warnings
I've gotten better about it but I swear when I was a kid, I had to run away from anyone throwing up. Usually I had to run to another bathroom so I could throw up too. My sister has panic attacks when she hears/sees someone throw up. I throw up kind of a lot. So, that's fun.
It's just vomit grow up y'all 💀😂
i love that you mentioned testosterone rage,i work at a T clinic and i can definitely tell when my patients doses need to be adjusted, sometimes they're dose is too high and they complain they're going through puberty again or they're dose is too low and they're still tired or moody.
Isn't it also called roid rage, or am I thinking of something else
@@AnthonyLank-ry3kdI think that’s specific to anabolic steroids, they’re probably similar though
@ravenID429 test is an anabolic steroid :)
@@wolfiechin4272 Ohhhh - so which anabolic steroid(s?) do people take in sports and stuff? Or is that just testosterone too
@@ravenID429 So many :) most are similiar in structure to test or mimic it, some are peptides. I’d recommend checking out some people who know way more than me, mpmd, Zack telendar, even Dr. Mike Israetel. But short awnser is all of them
1:45 uless your dog swallows it like mine, he doesn't chew small treats but he does "chew" to move it back and never had issues. Greenies Pill Pouches work well too
6:31 yep, definitely immediate attention needed. My dad had one he ignored, and we were unaware of, until the rupture stretched more and he had to call an ambulance. They said the hole was about the size of grapefruit I think. It put him into shock and his organs started failing, it was really bad. SO. DONT. IGNORE. THESE. PROBLEMS!
I wish the Doc would have covered that more.
0:53 Dr Mike’s editor: blocks out Brian vomiting Also Dr Mike’s editor: shows peter’s spine broken in 2 pieces
and stewies face splitting open!
@@blurrysk1es well the thing is others like I have a phobia of vomiting. but honestly it is strange he would show the other stuff also
@@elizabethgrace3748 yeah it’s a bit concerning, but maybe it was a bunch of editing mistakes.
I love seeing doctors react to and break down medical injury scenes in shows and movies. Could you react to injuries from scenes in Marvel's The Punisher? I love the show but a lot of the scenes are pretty brutal and there is no way a lot of the characters would have realistically recovered as quickly as they did.
should it be concerning that a medicaI doctor says to just use an instagram fiIter in reaI Iife face to face interactions..
8:51 this scene actually scared me/caught me off guard. Just the way his skin flipped was very unsettling
Yea
I’m an Engineer, all of our tests in college are open book. We are taught to look everything up. The codes and standards we work from change every two to four years, and we look things up so we are using the latest knowledge. And the materials available change constantly. I’d be disappointed if MDs were not looking things up.
SO... Engineer's School teaches you to read... NOT "how" to read, but to actively build the habit and BOTHER to read. ;o)
I wish Law School understood it too. They expect us to remember case-laws (names, facts, judgements, years), all the titles of Acts and codes along with their dates and then their provisions along with their section, article or rule numbers. Laws also keep getting updated and ammended, new laws are made regularly, important judgements keep coming. And of course we need to understand the all of it and be able to apply it in situations where needed and yet they expect us to remember all of it. There's no point to it. It's stupid. In my career I will always be able to just look it up but in exams, we have to remember it all. Even application questions are more or less about remembering this stuff only because once we analyse the situation and recognise which laws will be relevant, we have to support our answers with legal provisions and case-laws.
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 I'd say it also teaches you how to read. Not how to read letters and words and sentences, but to read and comprehend a text, filter out the important information, and cross-reference with other texts on the matter.
@@Gaehhn Maybe... At the same time, much of what you just described comes with simple practice... mountains of the stuff if you try by your own devices, but it'll come. There are reasons I keep getting to help design things or do my own spec's even though I'm a high school grad'... I get second opinions on a lot (especially "mission critical" components) BUT most of the time I just get told my math passes muster. (Other than a propensity to over-engineer everything.) ;o)
From what I know and what Mike has said they search up videos on the Internet to review sometimes before stuff like surgery just to refresh the brain, it seems they search things up pretty often.
7:05 it's called "cross hatching" and is an old comic strip trick to quickly and easily illustrate bruising or dirt.
I love these reactions haha always entertaining, also how are you always in such a good mood? 😁
I like how every time Mike does a sponsor, the most replayed part is him ending the sponsor
7:00 Why did the chicken cross the road? To beat the guy up. Yes, this had more action than Dr. Mike's fight with iDubbz. I heard that Dr. Mike's punches are like butterflies. I hope that he is working on his knockdown power. Keep chopping wood. Much love. ❤️
Glad you included some education on botox because so many people believe it's only for wrinkles. I get botox injections for dystonia. It's a painful procedure but it does help for 3 months at a time. For those that don't know- dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that causes involuntary muscle contactions, movements, postures and sometimes tremors.
I always find it surprising how little people know about movement disorders despite how common they are. Botox is such an amazing treatment, I wish there were generics available though. It's never great when a single company makes all of a medication.
@@Peranolde Botox is just one brand of botulinum toxin type A. I know there are at least 3 brands because my insurance covers 3 brands. Which of those brands they cover depends on the condition being treated and age of the patient. Maybe not all insurance companies do it that way but mine does. There is no way I would be able to afford botox without insurance coverage. I also don't understand why there is such little awareness of the various movement disorders (other then parkinsons) when they are so common. Dystonia is not a country.
My nephew gets Botox in his legs every 3 months due to issues with muscle tightness and it helps him massively. People are usually shocked when I mention it, it's amazing how little people know about it considering most people are aware of it if that makes sense.
@@elsjac makes total sense. They are aware botox exists but really have very minimal knowledge about it. I relate to dealing with that. When friends comment about my getting botox for dystonia I remind them the options are muscle relaxants and pain killers or botox injections. Then I tell them I personally prefer botox over taking pills that could cause an addiction. Anyway, I'm glad your nephew is doing well and hope he continues doing well. Movement issues are hard.
my old boss got botox injections in his brain. they help reduce the pain from these headaches he was having.
I haven't seen your any of your videos but it's so informative that's why I love seeing them
Thanks so much for this! You may have just saved my friends life! He has a hernia and is in severe pain. I told him what you said and encouraged him to seek care immediately!
0:53 Really appreciate the vomiting warning, not a lot of people do that so it was nice to have one 👏✨
Really?
6:53 ah yes the classic Peter vs the chicken fight
I have a question. When the doctor tells the dog to stop drinking, was he talking about alcohol or drinking in general?
Alcohol
if he quit drinking in general he would die lol
Ok thanks
Thank you so so much for putting the blur on the vomit scenes. I have extremely bad emetophobia and seeing it can make my anxiety go through the roof. Thank you so much for blurring it 😅😌😌😌

2:50 Did anyone else notice how Peter's shirt buttons just switched to the other side??
1:12 *Says a lot of complicated medical stuff* Me not knowing a single thing he said: I agree!
I would like to just say that @5:08 he means a personal trainer not an athletic trainer. A certified athletic trainer is a health care professional that can prevent, evaluate, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate a whole array of orthopedic illnesses and injuries!
I definitely agree that it can be a good thing if the doctor looks things up, because it means that they're making sure their knowledge is up to date, instead of relying on information that may either be outdated, or incorrect due to faulty memory. However, if your doctor does need to look something up, I don't think you want to be hearing that their citation came from Wikipedia. Nothing really against Wikipedia, but I've always felt it's more of a starting point for getting research off on the right foot, rather than to be used as your only, or primary source of information.
Yeah the benefit of having a doctor look something up is that they know exactly how to research and find very specific information, as well as having the literacy to understand what they’re coming across
If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Mike mentioned that he, as a doctor, maintains subscriptions to certain services and sites that provide up-to-date peer-reviewed articles and the like.
One of my heart issues is rare enough that a lot of medical professionals don't even know what it IS without quickly looking it up and I appreciate when they do just to be sure they know what they're looking for in an ECG
@Nathaniel Shrock The main problem is that anybody can edit Wikipedia articles, and while I believe some of it is checked, the fact that it can be edited by anybody means it can be edited by people who have no idea what they're talking about. Which is why it should only be used as a starting point, such as to quickly find citations to more reliable information sources, or to find tidbits of information that may make it easier to look that information up elsewhere. It's a good site, but shouldn't be a person's primary source of information. Even whenever I cite something I read there to people, I specifically state that it was something I read on Wikipedia so they know to maybe take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Doctors have their own internal database. Most people think that they're using Google or Wikipedia.
0:13 this is the moment where johnny knoxville became gustavo fring
I'd love for Dr Mike to do a medical breakdown of Dave and Chuck for all the wierd and strange medical cases, studies, finds, and injuries that come up in that show. Not to mention it would be funny to see the reaction from listening to the stories behind each thing.
6:35 my friend had an abdominal hernia from crashing his bike and it looked like he had a tennis ball on his hip. he got 32 staples for it and is planning on getting a centipede tattoo over the scar lol

Hey Doctor Mike! Had to take a first aid course yesterday for my driving groundcourse, and I absolutely aced it thanks to all the knowledge I've gained from your videos. Thanks! Also the fact you use vomit warnings is so appreciated from someone with emetophobia

Oh the betrayal in Mike's grasp when Brian bit Peter😂😂
Thank you, Dr. Mike and team. These uploads are so engaging and dynamic. Truly, you guys are super talented in making content relatable. Yay!!!
this is why I love dr Mike, I have quite bad etemephobia and the ‘vomit warning’ just made me feel happy.
The picture day killed me he got wrecked.🤣
I love how Doctor Mike can make family guy so serious lmao
7:47 smoothly removed the line, 'btw boys shouldn't have that' . xd
I've always wanted to speak Russian, and in the army had the chance to go to a small language school for Russian, however was not able to complete it due to mission requirements pulling me out of the military class; then came medical review board, offered retirement which I accepted. I never had the chance to finish and only remember a few phrases and words I can pick up on when hearing it. So yes I'm interested. My Aunt speaks it fluently but lives to far to teach me.... this is great....
Just had a hernia incarceration earlier this year while I was at work. Most intense pain I've ever been in. Didn't even know they were a thing at that point. Within a couple minutes of getting the results of my scans in at the hospital they had me heading into surgery. On the plus side they repaired the hernia that I hadn't even known I had while they were digging around in there to make sure my bowels were fine.
I finally finished watching all your videos..I am Ukraine returned mbbs student..had lots of stress due to current ongoing situation in Ukraine.. your videos are total stress buster, informative and motivational.. Thank you.. keep up the good work 👍
I love your reaction videos and I would love you to react to Downton abbey medical scenes, such as Roberts ulcer bursting, adrenaline being given to a farmer and Sybil's labour scene, it's so good and apparently quite medically accurate as well as giving an inside to old fashioned British treatments Edit: spelling
I love that you do a vomit warning!!! Thank you so much it really helps me with these videos

@@joebethmichalek4906 Bro
Botox for migraines is a godsend! I went from 4 migraines a month to 2-4 a year.
The Tic-Tac-Toe grid used for the facial injuries is an art technique called crosshatching, and it's just an easy way to show scuff marks or dirt without having to be extremely detailed. Comics and cartoons have been using it for decades because it's such a simple yet effective technique.
7:18 I always can't help but laugh a little at fight scenes where the characters beat the living heck out of each other and smash bottles over each other's heads and all manner of ridiculousness and just keep going. I'm like, my guy, IRL you would've been unconscious long before now 😄
2:28 it's a bit like the comments i get as a mechanic, when people ask something about a specific car. "Oh i thought you were a mechanic" yes, i am.. But you can't know everything about every car that exists can you.. No, not really.
Pov kim Kardashian: 8:17
OMG two of my favorite KZheadrs posted a new video today?! And it ain't even my birthday! Mike's reactions are always so funny, whether it's educational commentary, deadpan humor, or uncontrollable wheezing 😆
It’s always fun to see Doctor Mike reacting to animations.....
at 2:31 it reminds me of when I was in the hospital and my doctor straight up said "give me a minute I'm going to go look it up to make sure my suspicions are correct"
Doctor Mike, you’re the only person I know online to put a vomit warning and I honestly am happy you do so much because it makes me utterly uncomfortable and panic just seeing it happen.
I love your videos Dr. Mike you have encouraged me to study medicine when I finish high school 👍🏼🏥
I have never in my life been annoyed when a doctor looked something up. I have, however, on several occasions been _highly_ annoyed when a doctor _refused_ to look stuff up. In one case I even brought in printouts including URLs and made a double appointment in order to give them time to look through the material I brought and he _still_ refused to look at it. I never went back to that doctor but I wish his license to practice would be revoked.
@@soinasdoyi1465 That's really not possible in the 10-minutes allotted for each appointment.
get annoyed bro, its youtube

I love these reaction videos especially with cartoons because they’re so inaccurate 😂😂
I got to educate my sons primary on his ARFID diagnosis from his specialist. It was pretty cool. Luckily she has no problem admiting she doesn't know something and will listen and look it up with us and learn. Shes the best. Shes the only doctor my autistic son doesn't immediately shut down and flip out with. Shes seen him since birth and has taken the time to build a relationship with him.
@@travishatch7174 maybe you should stop looking at this guy if you're laughing at someone for sharing a wholesome story😂
thank you so so so much for the emetophobia warning. seriously no one adds those and it means so much dude thank you so much
I want you and the other doctor react and I always like your videos better because you actually watch like the whole scene lol
I love Mikes commentary that is just explaining every joke
That was very smart of Doc to keep talking at 4:05 while video was running to avoid copyright from the music when Stewie does workout 😜
I’m a few months late to this but it was interesting to hear about the hernia and about strangulation in particular. I had a strangulated hernia when I was 15 and I didn’t know it was the smaller hernias that could cause more obstruction
0:37 me when I get hurt
Dr Mike is the best at explaining things in a way that's easy to understand and that's fun
2:33 that goes for any profession, I'm a machinist and I also have to look things up.
i already love this video, not only is the doctor's reaction funny but he is also explaining that some stunts are not safe to do at home, how to fix injuries, etc. Should 100% react to injuries from other adult cartoons, i think Rick and Morty or South Park age great if they have some injuries in them.
0:53 thank you for the warning ive never seen someone do this thanks! :D
this is literally saving my afternoon, thanks Dr Mike 👍
2:40 I had some trouble installing my new OS Drive (Went from an 8 year old ssd to an nvme) and had to google several things and look it up. My dad, who is the family it specialist (though i might know more than him in a few areas now lol) highlighted the same logic as Mike mentions here. Cant remember everything, the real skill is being able to find the info you need, knowing what you need to look for, and understanding the results you find.
I always wondered why characters shake their hands when they are scared... Not tremors, but physically whipping your hands back and forth. Then i started having severe anxiety, and i noticed i was doing it as well!
Lovely Patek Aquanaut reference 5968A!! Nice video too!
it's always entertaining to watch Dr.Mike react to cartoons, especially the "Family Guy". We also get some medical advices along the way, so it's two birds in one stone😋
I love 6:08 cuz it’s so true with the floppy deadweight
You don't need to give your doctor a tip. Unless he gave you a circumcision.
I really like your videos your awsome !
I would love for you to react to medical scenes in Supernatural, alot of them are HILARIOUS! Especially considering how the medical staff acts 😂
Dr. Mike's chair looks super cozy! Nice ambient atmosphere for a med scene review :)
My dad had multiple hernias that he just kept "pushing back in" for around 18 MONTHS. I don't know how or if that was really that healthy. He DID get the surgery for it finally and when asked why he didn't do it sooner he'd reply with, "Waiting for insurance to come through." or "I'm busy.".
I DIED SO HARD AT 0:36 I CANT I JUST CANT-
Hey Dr.Mike. Would you be able to do a mail time segment next video. I loved when you made the mail time video. Keep up the great work!!!!!
I remember when you first started your channel. Seeing a creator grow is one of the most amazing things.
Hey you were on the news today ( fox 5 ) and you did amazing
I know this is probably off-topic, but I just want to say that I really appreciate the vomit warning. Thanks for adding that😊👍
I got a medical question Dr. Mike, we always hear about steroids being used by bodybuilders. But are there any legitimate medical reasons for use of anabolic steroids?
Hormone replacement and therapy are my best guess.
Anabolic-androgynic steroids aren't really used medically anymore because better/safer options exist, but they have been used for several applications related to blood-cell conditions (ie, anemia), wasting diseases (muscle loss, and loss of appetite), bone loss (osteoporosis), hormone replacement (either you've got a condition where you have a lack of production/producing the wrong hormones or you're getting older and want to feel a bit younger again), inflammation (swelling and tenderness), and gender dysphoria. It's probably safe to assume that one of the side effects allowed for it to be used to combat conditions that produce that issue.
Corticosteroids.
I know he is just family doctor so I don’t expect him to know a lot about endocrinology but everything he said about PEDs in this video are incorrect and outdated information lol
I know I took steroids when I had a really bad case of poison ivy but don't know what type of steroids. I know they have to give steroids to babies if they are born before there lungs are ready and the steroids help develop their lungs
Always a good day when Dr Mike uploads!
0:40 If that's somehow ever possible (realistically speaking) to be alive after that, I bet Peter can hear his heartbeat
i love dr mike so much
