Doctor Fact-Checks Simpsons Medical Scenes

Mr Simpson let me outline the gastric bypass surgery procedure for you okay we put the band around your stomach so that no solid food may enter well that's not really gastric bypass that's like a sleeve you see just like so that there was a cow and a pretzel very very serious operation you should only undergo it as a last resort well that's absolutely true for a gastric bypass they're done laparoscopically now which decreases healing time complication rate Etc but basically you make the stomach into like a really small pouch reconnect the GI tract in a way where you decrease the amount of absorption of food but the interesting part about bariatric surgery why we recommend it it's really the only form of lasting weight loss that we have really good evidence for other ways in which people lose weight five to ten years later doesn't seem to be as effective they seem to put that weight back on but with bariatric surgery the results seem to hold in a decent amount of the cases kids your daddy he underwent a special procedure so he can be more attractive to your mother well I hope you're not doing it just to be more attractive you're doing it for all the health benefits welcome home Marge you remembered I like romance do you like guys who are attractive homie you look good all for you baby he looks like the mannequins in the men's clothing stores that you think the suit fits perfectly or the pea coat fits perfectly and in the back they're all like pinned and they'll never look like that on your body what are you hiding from me is it chocolate uh it used to be whoa those buns are popping wait fresh how did those things oh he pulled into the front doctor I'm embarrassed to show my body to my wife and it's all because of your surgery you want me to unstable your stomach you give it a staple remover out I want you to give me every other surgery you have so I can look good and can you call it an aortic valve replacement so my insurance will cover it no problem it's insurance fraud okay someone order a super stud my implants feel itchy yes I was out the silicone rubber so I used rolled up socks he's a monster pitchforks everyone you know we're laughing at this but you know there's been this trend of individuals who've been injecting into their muscles Synthol in order for themselves to look huge and they've been getting popular on Tick Tock and recently one of the biggest names who who we've actually reacted to on this channel recently lost his life best wishes to his family I gotta be honest with you you better not make me cry cause I don't know where my tear ducts are anymore I appreciate you trying to become more attractive for me but the truth is I'm way too successful for you now I'm getting me a trophy husband there were steer ducks went sisters are doing it for themselves oh no it's Dad foreign okay you don't have to use defib paddles uh for back injury I hope that goes without saying oh it's good for the batteries now I'm afraid your son has cracked his coccyx based on the mechanism of injury which is a big part of what we do in healthcare we look at how the injury happened in fact on professional sports Sidelines when you work as a team doctor one of the doctors usually runs over to the replay Booth to try to understand exactly how the injury occurred because that gives us the most amount of information about that injury with what I saw happen there on the fall in the bowling ball didn't look like it happened on the coccyx the way we diagnose obviously one of these fractures is through an x-ray but just general pain of the coccyx is called coccydynia for you to know how long will it take to recover they usually take weeks sometimes even months for the paint to fully go away and the pain initially is terrible you have to get one of those little Donuts to take the pressure off the middle portion of your spine when you're seated and really just sit on your ischial tuberosities and actually a lot of patients start taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory stories like Advil leave when they get pained after a broken tailbone but some evidence has actually shown that taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can lead to poor fracture healing for my patients I try Tylenol if you need something stronger Tramadol is an option people really do request something stronger I say lidocaine patch I love those but check his bowl that's what you do chest compressions to a BG song yeah love but you should check if he's alive first your love are you sure it wasn't that stand alone Wrong song bro really need to learn cause we're living in yeah and his positioning is not great he want to be on the side he want to be doing it two inches deep breaking us down see if he's alive you got to stop doing the chest compression the purpose of doing the chest compressions is to circulate the blood because the heart has stopped if a person's talking their heart's beating our top story today Springfield will experience a rare total eclipse of the Sun a solar eclipse is like a woman breastfeeding in a restaurant it's free it's beautiful but under no circumstances should you look at it you don't want to stare at an eclipse I mean you don't want to look at the sun period because you could damage part of your eye known as the retina develop something known as solar retinopathy where you actually burn a part of your retina this can happen with even a short period of time looking at an eclipse and I know people like if it's a total eclipse it blocks out the sun fully where you're going to get damaged well guess what it's only a total eclipse for a short period of time when it starts moving it's only a partial clip that's when the damage occurs and really the damage happens on the point Point known as a fovea where you lose the central vision and then you get disorientation and color changes all of that okay people we've hit [Music] no I'm gonna see it first yeah looking through a pinhole you'll get to see the whole thing happening without the damage happening to your eye and also people think oh if I just wear sunglasses I'll be fine that doesn't actually protect you unless there are a special type of sunglasses my space toy oh it's okay homie bro it's a paper towel roll you can have my viewer but Mom you'll miss the eclipse there'll be another one in North Yemen in 2027. we'll be talking about this together for years no don't look it's it's not that quick but there's no safe amount of time that we would say oh you can look at it not Marge your eyes must stay completely covered for two full weeks there's actually no real treatment for solar retinopathy but you still want to go see an ophthalmologist if you were to damage your eyes volatile injury income me boy I tried ordering you I tried punishing you and God help me I even tried reasoning with you and the only thing left for me to do is jump The Gorge myself and you'll never make it don't you think I know that don't do it I won't jump anymore I promise oh well thank God you know boy I don't think I've ever felt this close to you as I do right [Music] cervical neck fracture see collar now no no no [Music] no why not just airlift him all the way to the hospital the fact that he's surviving thousand foot falls makes me want to study his body reactor studio and I might explode you just sit back and relax oh dear God this man's kidneys have exploded all right they don't explode but what you can develop is hydronephrosis your bladder is more likely to release and allow the urine to come out than your kidneys are to explode and by not going to pee when you want to go you can actually cause like that urinary stasis to continue and develop infections in that area yeah that's what happens when you get older it's one of those Natural Things beautiful in its way uh actually his kidneys were fine yesterday when he had his annual checkup I love that he's having x-rays showing the kidneys as the same visual as the spine no bones and kidneys do not light up the same look at any real X-Ray I don't feel so good well yeah you need to be on dialysis sir or get a kidney transplant stacked can't live without a kidney come on Duck there's got to be something I can do to help my dad well you could give him a kidney a kidney okay fine you see the waiting list for a kidney is very long yeah an America on average if you are on the donor list to get a kidney usually takes a few years three to five years oh thank you son I'll take the left one it's good and springy though the right one's not without its charge you really can't feel the kidneys like that and the fact that he has no kidneys and he's still moving around is sus well I gotta hand it to your Homer you're really Brave to go through with this operation it's not an operation Mo the doctor says it's just a procedure no no no making polenta that's a procedure you're talking about deadly life-threatening surgery yeah no it's not deadly but it's definitely a risk and you have to get pre-operative clearances by Family Medicine doctor that's what I would do and what's interesting is when you put in a kidney you don't put it in the back you put it in the front in the lower abdomen the point is with only one kidney you won't be able to drink yourself stupid no more I mean you still can drink alcohol that the idea is that you're at a much higher risk because you don't have a backup kidney so you want to respect that kidney meaning you don't want to overuse non-steroidal anti-inflammatories you don't want to consume nephrotoxic substances you want to make sure that you're always well hydrated you feel me plus they'll put down one of those organ donors sucker lists everybody who wants an eyeball or a spine or a vestigial tail will be after you I'm an organ donor proud organ donor why aren't you change your license today can you imagine you could be one of the lucky people that gets one of my organs just saying that's like better than merch hey I got a Dr Mike Shirt By the way you can get those down below but hey I got Dr Mike's eyeball I win um from today Dan can I have fun with my joke God by the way I gotta dispel that rumor that people think that if they get into an accident or they're sick that if you go to the emergency room and they see you're an organ owner they don't take good care of you that's absolutely false Zero have I ever heard of that and if I did don't you think I probably would not make myself an organ donor What If instead of donating one of my old worn out kidneys I gave grandpa that artificial kidney I invented oh Homer that was just a beer can with a whistle glue to it but remember why you're doing this it's for your father the man who raised you and nurtured you you know it's interesting when you get a renal transplant you end up having to take immunosuppressant medications for the rest of your life but still the evidence looks like getting the kidney transplant you live a longer life than someone who has to undergo dialysis multiple days of the week and odds are you'll have a higher quality of life because you don't have to always go for dialysis I love you son I love you Dad now don't you fellas worry this will all be over uh what's there with Justin Bieber's girlfriend Selena Gomez had a kidney transplant from her friend right she rings a bell also that was like 10 years ago excuse me I'm still mourning the loss of that relationship what the we gotta get rid of that window don't worry about old Grandpa I'm going to a better place I just don't understand why they can't put them on dialysis we have a lot of patients in the United States who are considered end-stage renal disease they go on dialysis and they don't live a typically normal life they have a lower quality of life because they have to be tied to the dialysis center but they're alive I'm sorry dude the way I behaved was shameful I guess fear made me run away but love made me come back bless your son now Homer this may sting just a tiny bit but oh shut up he's waking up oh homie I'm so glad you're all right hey while we were setting your broken bones and putting your blood back in we helped ourselves to a kidney and gave it to your father you don't help yourself to a kidney you usually have to sign off on that one you know it's pretty dark in in some countries they actually sell organs that's like a well-known black market for organ trade I know you're a little peeved at Grandpa dad but you've done a wonderful thing yes you've shortened your life significantly so someone else can have a slight experience he didn't shorten his life significantly come on Marge I don't need two kidneys I have everything I need right here hmm you're tickling me here's what happens when you eat McDonald's and only McDonald's for 30 days click here to check that out and as always stay happy and healthy now while eating McDonald's [Music]
