Doctor Reacts To Curb Your Enthusiasm Medical Scenes

curb your enthusiasm while i curb my medical anger as to the medical accuracy of curb your enthusiasm ah it hurts right there yeah yeah yeah okay so here's the bottom line with your knee okay yeah you have a tear in your meniscus that didn't look like he was doing mcmurray test no if you want to fix this thing once and for all you need surgery that's not true most meniscus injuries heal just great with conservative management including physical therapy what if i got a second opinion yeah second opinion to smarty here especially because it's an acute injury you can make predictions about how long this patient's gonna be out until you see how they start recovering i don't rush to conclusions like this and if a doctor is get a second opinion good job larry ow ah oh it's right there yeah here's the deal you do have a tear in the meniscus but it's the outer edge of the meniscus and that area will heal itself i think some rest some ice some ibuprofen uh i'd put you on a pt course physical therapy you can come here or you can um have them come to your home whatever you like that works the thing with ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications is that there are some new studies showing that using ibuprofen early on in your injury can actually cause that injury to not heal well down the line there's some instances where it's important in some instances where we can perhaps use either a different medication or go no medication at all as crazy as that sounds just one favorite just to look at this thing on my back tell me if you think what is that this happens way too often this happened to me the other day in my parking garage someone saw me getting out of my car in scrubs and said hey can you take a look at this and i said no i don't know what that is you know you gotta go to a doctor really really do you know how many different things can happen on your skin can we begin to start naming the list you know that guy right over there that's dr wiggins that's who he was talking about he's the lakers doctor the lakers doctor probably shouldn't be diagnosing skin conditions no hate on sports med doctors i used to dream of being a sports med doctor i'm sorry the body with this i got a little thing on my back and i was hoping you could save me a visit to a dermatologist oh i'm sorry i'm running a little late i mean we'll just take a second really i mean just say something or nothing that's not how medicine works people think we're robots where we can just see it know what's up sometimes we need a dermatoscope sometimes we want to get your vitals we want to ask your family history whether or not you had sunburned as a child whether or not someone in your family had cancer all of that changes our differential diagnosis do you think that can happen in the state of minor doctors in while they're changing in a locker room i think not larry [Applause] oh larry heard his acl okay easy let's get him up see in these situations when i was a sideline doctor i would literally be asking did you feel something pop did you hear something pop what gave out did you did you feel pain then or only feeling pain now like all these are important questions to gauge the severity of the injury but then all the special tests and all that really happens outside of the floor into the locker room because patients need to calm down players need to relax when the adrenaline rush is going they're not feeling everything could you do me a favor uh would you mind just taking a quick glance at this thing on my back tell me if it's anything that i should be concerned about sure turn around all right you see that this is a solar keratosis what is that it's benign it's from the sunspot really i wouldn't worry about it see i don't think a doctor would really say that i have a feeling this person's not a doctor because if we say no big deal and then it turns out to be a big deal we're in very big trouble also sunspots can oftentimes masquerade or hide cancers below it or maybe mistaken for cancers knowing how dangerous melanoma could be i would never give that advice on the run okay barry come on let's go i knew it what i didn't get out of the sun i knew it wasn't a dot doctor sixth floor psychiatric i will go as far as to say if a doctor just casually gives you advice without asking a lot of questions or gives you a cure like here's the magical potion right here that'll cure you before finding out the root of the problem and getting all the information it's a red flag can i make an observation that magazine collection you really need to do something about that i don't know why that is i feel like we discontinue our subscriptions or we just get trials also everyone's on their phone these days what are you doing stealing your magazines from garbage cans i have never seen such a collection of shoes in my life what's wrong so what's happening here is called the stress test where we actually have patients exercise on a treadmill and we do an ekg live to see what's happening with the heart if there's blockages in the heart and the patient's exerting themselves aka experiencing stress we'll see a pattern reflective on the ekg that will tell us that at which point we will then have to have the patients scheduled for an angiogram or maybe even a stent depending on how bad it is but it's not incredibly sensitive at catching all blockages in the heart so this isn't one that we use for everybody this is uh sort of becoming more and more outdated the nuclear stress test the cta even are the newer tests that we're using to diagnose uh insufficient blood flow to the heart people magazine tom cruise is 40. just just kidding it's 40. dr mike sexiest doctor alive i don't know why dr fauci didn't allow me to give him the sexiest doctoral life title this year how would you feel about me passing on that title to you this year no thank you you're definitely more sexy later hey larry hi renee how you feeling [Music] that's fake news that's not how ekgs look okay unfortunately i i can't give you a clean bill of health at this point there was a little slight abnormality i don't know what form this is but that's not how stress tests work looking what was happening on his ekg just looks like he was tachycardic which means his heart was beating fast fine but it was so dramatic and not realistic i'm going to give you a device called a heart halter a halter monitor is basically something you wear on your heart for a period of a day two days a week depending on what the probable cause is and it basically functions as a live ekg that we can then look back on and see if there's anything happening in your with your heart throughout the day whether it's a fast rhythm abnormal rhythm and you could also as a patient notify the system that you're experiencing some symptoms so then we can go back and look at the rhythm the ekg strip at that time and see if there's anything that matches or could be causing your symptoms i got some bad news oh louis yeah yeah kidney yeah both of them he's gonna need a new one ah is there a donor i don't know i don't understand what happened that both kidneys fell simultaneously that's kind of rare i mean it depends on what the condition is i have good news gentlemen both of your blood types are compatible with mr lewis for his kidney transplant did you get the news huh thanks yeah yeah how about that i'm a lucky man i'm a lucky man i have two of you guys come through for me thank you hey so there you go you got your choice two two kidneys wow of course uh very grateful man you know i uh i am considerably older than him that's actually interesting because as you get older you actually lose some of your kidney function there's a predictable curve that happens and if you're gonna select a kidney going based off age is not a bad strategy this is a bigger too it's a big hefty kidney could just handle a big load i think you know you can start drinking again if you wanted to with that thing kidneys don't process alcohol liver does that police believe that the suspect peter hey his response that's that guy pete the guy i got out of jail the victim of the shooting in this case a mr lewis lewis cousin of actor comedian richard lewis is in a coma are you gonna use his organs instead uh good afternoon hello good hospital room everything looks legit bed suction canister iv pole bedpan well unfortunately he's not doing too well he's a in an irreversible coma interesting that he's in a coma but not intubated like how is he breathing for himself how long do you think he is how about you fine how long do you think he is it's hard to say it could be days weeks months uh there's been cases where patients have been in comas for years what life support is he on he has a pulse oximeter on his finger maybe an iv into his hand and then just like a nasal cannula for oxygen basic blood pressure cuff this person's not on life support lewis lewis has just come out of his coma they're back to figuring out who gives the kidney what are you gonna do about your cousin who needs a kidney well richie yeah well so we'll find him a kidney what about yours what are you crazy i'm not giving anybody my kidney i just woke up i'm gonna give things out now that's very selfish says the guy who doesn't want to give up his own kidney you are very very calm bro god will watch out for me he went towards alaska oh [Music] if a patient like this doesn't want to go through the surgery they cannot be forced like they're volunteering and they're allowed to say no at any time the same way that we're able to as patients in charge of ourselves able to say we do not want to be resuscitated and at the same time if we're starting to let's say go into cardiac arrest just before we finally pass out to say no i want to be resuscitated and doctors have to honor that see this is what you get from doing good deeds larry oh my god check his pulse and start chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions why is everyone just looking see if they watch the youtube channel they'd know i watched mash check out my
