If you thought this episode was good then check out House MD Pulling a 25Ft Tapeworm out from his patient. Watch here:

You do you man. This is the only channel with medical commentary without the winings of medical professionals who fail to remember that this is an amazing work of fiction, with the writing, music, cinematography, character arcs and everything else a creative work could possibly aspire to be. I am the better alone blue Shirt guy.
Exactly!
I can’t watch those doctors react to house videos anymore.
They act as if they’re inspecting a documentary, calling out the smallest inaccuracies with real annoyance. And they explain things like they’re talking to children.
Dr Mezher enjoys the show, tries to play along and diagnose the patient. Enjoys the drama and writing of great TV even if in real life that hospital would be a disaster and house would be struck off if not, locked up.
He explains medical stuff as well but he talks faster and using more scientific vocabulary.
He knows that the people watching this channel either A) love medicine and don’t need basics explained to them.
B) they’re house fans and therefore have a familiarity with basics, and when house gets the basics wrong, or do something not advisable (like moving a patient with crush injuries) Dr Mezher corrects them but remarks how it’s bad medicine but it’s great TV.
Plus the plethora of historical/scientific facts he mentions during the video when it’s relevant to the plot, along with very interesting first hand experiences.
Personally I’ve tried to be nicer to my doctor since stumbling across this channel. it’s easy to forget that while they look after us, they’re human too and are entitled to be treated by patients, as patients would expect to be treated by them. Treated with respect, I mean. Not treated medically, I doubt my doctor wants me writing him prescriptions or checking his prostate gland.
Hi Whatevernevermind,
Thank you for such a kind comment and I hope I can keep delivering these in the way you all enjoy.
I love the show so far (hence why I’ve made so many reactions) and can’t wait to get through them all!
While doing it I want to work on the quality and ordering though as I know I am letting you guys down on that front at the moment. This is a journey though and either way I’m glad to have you and the rest of our subs here for it!
Look forward to your future comments and even though I can’t always reply I am still monitoring :)
@@jimmy2k4o House MD is an amazing series.
Of course the medical aspect varies in accuracy for dramatic effect and it does the dramatic effect very well imho.
The show still introduces people to rare illnesses, that people can look up on their own. We shouldn't really get our medical information off tv in general, but tv works well enough to inspire curiosity.
However, one thing that House absolutely nails is House himself.
Sure very few people are at the genius level like House is supposed to be, but it is a "beautiful" depiction of depression, addiction, self sabotage, self harm, people that struggle to make meaningful connections etc.
I've struggled with depression and actually ended up being diagnosed with dysthymia, avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety (some of it matches me and some doesn't) and this show shows the effects really well.
The scenes are often dark and Princeton Plainsborough seems to be one of the places in the world, where it rains most often.
That is how depression "looks" in my experience. You're not imagining things, but your perception is warped and tilted. You're not turning sunshine into rain, mentally, but you simply don't perceive the same outside stimuli the same as before. You notice the days with rain more than those without etc.
And while I do have a lot of sarcasm and dark humor as House (sadly far from his genius :D), he also serves as an example of what not to do, to get better. :)
As much as I love the one-off episode reactions: part of the beauty of House is the story progression, and you lose the impact of that that in certain important episodes when you don't have the full story.
This ep is one of those; watching House struggling though chronic pain for 6 straight seasons and all the ups and downs that come with it, makes this episode hit way harder then when you've only watched about a season or two.
Just my opinion though: the reaction and Medical talk is still top notch as always Doc. :)
Hi MichaelG,
Thank you for your valuable comment and feedback. It’s so important that I get to see things like this as it helps me to improve the content for everyone. For now I think I will limit the requests to the first 4 seasons. Will do my best to get them in order as well.
One thing to consider is that producing these is really quite expensive in both time and direct costs like new equipment and editing. The membership is helping to just keep the channel afloat at the moment and so I’m trying to help reward the members while keeping the story on-track. It is a tough balance to keep! Thank you for understanding and great to have you here for the journey.
8:30 bus driver? You mean the crane operator.... lol
Hi @Sadames03!
Good spot! Yep you're right on that one
PS please be careful with giving too many spoilers/clues!
laying in the hospital this week after having a stroke at 22, feel like i need house, but these vids been giving me so much anxiety but also such a great distraction thank you
Hi Welsh,
Sorry to hear you’ve been suffering with your health. Especially since a stroke at 22 is quite rare! Wishing you a strong recovery and glad that these videos have given you something else to focus on.
What is it about them that is giving you anxiety? I’m curious to know as it may help me improve the content! Thank you so much for your support and feedback
@@DrSermedMezher the anxiety just comes from the episodes themselves hahaha, it's not a content issue, it's just that house almost kills every patient before curing them, despite that it's gotta be one of my favourite series, the ending is so worth it.
i know, the consultant said quite frustratedly " you'tr too youmng for a stronkr!!!" haha, i'm hoping it's nothing serious and it'll not get worse, thanks for the content! loving it haha
36:33 I can only imagine how tough that must have been for you and the other doctors, and the young girl's family as well. I know the laws over there are not the same as here in the US, but one man bred a strain of marihuana that had very little to no THC and very high amounts of CBD. This man did this because of anecdotal evidence that CBD can treat lots of different things, and his daughter suffered with non treatable seizures much like the young patient you just described. He harvested the CBD from the plants as an oil, and was successful in treating his own daughter with it. His daughter went from hundreds of seizures daily (or weekly) to only one or two per month. I would love to see real scientific research into what, if any, ailments CBD oil can actually treat. But the laws the way they're set up in the US will not allow this, and the research being done overseas just is not enough.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc is such a fascinating, and at times infuriating phenomena to witness and/or deal with. Love how you touched on that here. Also I love how you're the only one consistently appreciating the show for what it is and not losing your mind. You take the Houseisms in stride and focus on the medicine. Never regretted subscribing to you since I did. Here's to 100k subscribers, you deserve a plaque man.
I've been waiting for you to review this episode of House for a long while now. You made my day. Thank you so much!!!! ❤❤❤
Hehehe love your "sayings"
"More twists and turns than an octopus on a fun fair ride"
Lmao
Hi Flavio!
Haha glad you enjoyed it - I always try to make them more unique than your usual ones. Hope I can keep making ones you enjoy!
This is my favorite episode of House ever, so glad you picked it for a reaction !
found ur channel by looking up house md on here and i love this sm
Man this is such a crazy episode... House barely cares about the interesting puzzle, focuses on a diagnostically boring woman, and the one time he actually cares about a patient she dies when he did the sensible thing... House was so uncharacteristically House, with drastic consequences.
Speaking of sleeping on your arms and numbing them up.
It once happened to my father with both arms and on that particular morning the phone rang and woke him up.
Trying to get out of bed, quickly, without the use of either of your arms is quite the challenge. Probably not helped by morning drowsiness. He struggled valiantly and flapped around and got out of the bed.
Then he saw the final boss...
He had closed the door to the bed room.
After multiple attempts to quite literally swing his lumps of arms onto the handle and open them, he gave up on reaching that particular call in time.
That story always makes me laugh...
A few years later, more or less the same thing happened to me and you know what... I understand his experience much better, but it's still funny and I do wish I had a recording of either of us. :D
You raise an interesting point on House’s leg and amputation - given it is giving him pain but a viable limb, would surgeons agree to amputate years later when otherwise healthy? The 127 hours was an insane true story, not sure I’d have the guts but who knows when push comes to shove!
You know what would be a really cool collab? If you, Dr. Mike, and Dr. Hope or something all haven't watched a particular episode (or haven't in a long time) and could all compete to get the correct diagnosis first.
hey, i'm no channel member, but i think you'd REALLY enjoy episode 11 from season 4 called "Frozen", it's another unorthodox episode where house has to step outside of his usual wheelhouse and do things differently
Great episode
I’m not sure if it’s on the list but s7e18 The Dig is an absolute banger from the ethics side of things.
31:15 I think it counts, you gotta give yourself some wins where you can take them. I love these reactions, you're a lot more forgiving of House than most doctors who review scenes or episodes of this.
36:28 Isn't there a last ditch, nothing else is working solution for severe seizures? I remember my freshman psychology course mentioning that severing the corpus callosum, while it used to be a common treatment for severe seizures, had been relegated to that state, was that out of date, or does that method only work for specific causes for seizures (which 8 suppose would make sense), or is that only done in the US? Or something else?
Corpus Callosum surgery probably wouldn't have helped
Seizures generally do not completely stop after this procedure (they continue on the side of the brain in which they originate).
also it is a treatment against epileptic seizures, not seizures in general.
"Mr. baby-blues seems to be going green with envy" clever line!
8:47 Not really a faint, but once as a boy I did a front flip in gym class. I landed wrong and cracked my chin on my knee. The only time I ever got knocked out, and only for a few seconds. Still a memorable experience.
Well that's definitely a straight to the point video title. lol maybe go with less of a spoiler in the future.
Wish these episodes could be saved for the full watch through otherwise once you get to this part it won't make much sense. It's spoiling the best parts of the series, but to each their own I guess. Some people just want you to jump waay ahead and see the best parts out of order. Great episode though.
Unrelated note: the audio in this episode is up and down throughout the whole thing. Just a heads up.
Hi apatternedhorizon,
Thank you for the valuable feedback and I’m definitely taking it on board. I think I’ll likely set a limit to how far ahead I take requests now - probably nothing further than S4 from this point. Definitely heard the feedback loud and clear!
Also the audio on this video isn’t the best for sure. I asked the editor to fix what they could but it seems like the levels still ended up uneven. Audio should be getting much better in the episodes released in 2 weeks because of a new mic setup!
Thank you for the ongoing valuable feedback as always. Glad to have you still around :)
I think you'd find that House getting his leg amputated would interfere with that sweet sweet content. This is of course non-negotiable which is why house must continue to suffer for our amusement.
if you do do a scoring system, maybe:
Hit (got the correct answer)
Miss (wrong answer)
Foul (got it correct but changed answer or almost got the correct answer)
In patients with crush injuries, can the doctor/EMT at the site of the accident administer VEGF maybe systemic or localized to stimulate angiogenesis of accessory blood vessels in the injured tissue to prevent ischemic hypoxic injuries to the tissue? If cutting my own leg means I would survive, I definitely would get rid of my leg, it’s a no brainer
22:39 Probably my loudest laugh of the week
Haha glad you enjoyed it Emanuele and great to have you on the channel! Look forward to seeing you here again
Not even 3 1/2 minutes in, and I can already relate. I have generalized ones, so yay triple threat. Dx lack of sleep, stress, and one other can cause them. I'm just lucky on having my lamo meds so I don't have any more tonic-clonic/grand Mal ones. 😢
I am not cutting off a limb - mine or anyone else's. I'd rather die.
They can replace the limb with a prosthetic limb. Some people in that situation can live a long, healthy, normal life. Why give up 50+ years of life to insist on keeping a crushed, mangled, half-dead limb? In House's case, even though he was able to survive, he lives with daily pain which he himself said changed him and made him miserable.
@@marvelsandals4228 that's why I said 'I'd rather die' - not live with crippling pain for the rest of my life. I agree that keeping a limb that doesn't function is a bad choice. but I know myself - my biggest fear is amputation and I cannot imagine myself doing it. I am absolutely astounded by the amazing prosthetics that science has come up with and I marvel at how cool and functional they are every time I see them. still, I am not sure I can imagine myself having one. it's a personal choice, I think.
Hi ThinkingMadeSense,
Thank you for sharing your perspective here. There definitely isn’t a right or wrong answer and everyone is entitled to their view based on their thoughts and priorities.
Also it’s important to clarify the huge difference between having to do it yourself and being put under a general anaesthetic & having it done by a surgeon in a controlled environment. I hope we never have to make this decision for real - thinking about it helps us appreciate what we have though.
What House doesn't say to that poor woman is that his pain is probably mental, exacerbated by cuddy and his team. As his therapist put it, he needed to stop working there and find something new in his life. In story reason the show ends when it does: house is no longer anywhere near the people who were causing him anguish. So he recovers to the point where the pain is a minor inconvenience at most and travels the world with the memory of his best friend Wilson by his side.
There be a twist to this ending your have to watch the next episode
Yeah, but about cutting the leg off, isn't the need for physical integrity also a very strong "instinct", for lack of a better word? Unless it's necessary because the leg will kill you because of septicemia, for instance, or, like in this case, because they have to get the woman out of there because the rest of the building may collapse on her and the people down there with her. But in House's case, I mean. I can understand him on this because I was in a somewhat similar situation.
No blood clot and dying muscle, but a very sprained ankle with torn ligaments after I got hit by a car. This happened around on a Saurday around 1 a.m., and it was a time before cell phones. I couldn't stand up and walk (it felt, at first, as if my foot wasn't even there any longer), so I dragged myself to the side of the road. A few minutes later, a car drove past, the person saw me and another few minutes later, I heard the sirens of the firefighters/emergency medics, who convinced me I couldn't walk home, like I begged them to let me (by putting me on my feet and saying "go on now, walk"; of course, I fell flat on my face).
I'm explaining all that because there were "special circumstances" in French hospitals on that day, there was the first nationwide strike of interns that lasted for days, if not weeks, and on weekends, nobody else would have been working (except a skeleton crew of nurses). So all they did was give me an X-ray to see if there was no broken bone, no, there wasn't, so they locked me into the ICU for fear I would run away (yes, seriously) and put me on a drip for 48 hours, likely an opioid because I was high and the few times I was awake, I didn't feel much pain. On the third day, a lady brought me bandages and a tube of arnica ointment, threw them on the bed and said "there, if you want to bandage your foot"... I did and they gave me a wheelchair so I could move around on the floor a little (compared to the other people on the ICU, I was fit as a fiddle). They kept me for an entire week without any treatment, when the ankle would have required surgery.
The torn ligament parts eventually grew back together, but in a weird way, and it took me at least ten years to get rid of the permanent limp, which now still happens on some days, but not very often. Of course, there was/is the pain, too, and I ended up with an opioid addiction that lasted more than twenty years as well, just like our friend, here. But amputating the foot? No way, I would have crawled out of the hospital on my ellbows if they had mentioned this. Of course, I could have had surgery later, but by then, I was self-employed and I couldn't have afforded not to work for several weeks. Would it have been better? Maybe. But I also had experiences I wouldn't want to miss.
One of the more memorable episode is that psychopath with no feeling and married for 'the equivalent of trust fund.'' Consider this a request.
Dr Mezher do you think there’s any truth in the saying that cluster headaches are one of the most painful conditions known to medical science…
Or is it the adult equivalent of when a kid falls and cries and his mum keeps saying “you’re such a brave boy!” While wiping away his tears……..
Bro, if cluster headaches weren't that bad, they wouldn't be nicknamed "Suicide headaches".
I would be able to cut my leg to survive probably. Survival would outweight any pain. Hard fight instincts. However, that drop and that hike with one leg cut off and probably destroyed from the blunt "Surgery" .... That I dont think I could manage lol I'd have to get lucky.
By the way, you mentioned Elon Musk in this reaction, and I remembered that you mentioned something about NASA and Space X in a previous episode, that I cant remember which was. Can you tell me? I want to re-read some of that info you shared that chapter (It was one of Vogler's if I recall correctly)
Hi Leo,
Thanks for the reply and I think anyone would struggle with that hike! Good think Aron Ralston cut off his arm and not his leg otherwise he would’ve struggled too!
Yeah the point I made about Musk, SpaceX and NASA is in the video titled “British Doctor Reacts to House MD Ends War With Vogler” hope that helps you find what you need and let me know if I can help with anything else.
Glad to hear that you’re interested!
@@DrSermedMezher Lol just realized I wrote leg and not arm hahaha. Still, walking for 5 miles with the amount of pain and body damage he was in was also an astounding feat. Thanks for your reply!
The fact that you have to ask can a person be a religious scientist proves you ignore history.
I mean, you do you, man, but if you're going to react to all episodes why not just stick to doing it in order?
This episode was requested.
This is a priority request.
Simply said, that is how memberships work. We give him money and, in return, he gives us our favourite episodes first ;) it's a win-win, actually, so no shade ^^
He makes a bit of money from the people making requests, helps keep the channel going I guess. But I'm kind of with you, he now knows some things about characters he shouldn't know. If it doesn't ruin his enjoyment though, it doesn't ruin mine either.
I just hope the finale of the series won't be requested. He really should watch that one the very last.
I am still on 11th episode of season 6 didn't want any spoilers you could have just given name of the episode in the title instead giving out major reveal so disappointed this video just popped up in my recommendation. That is why disliking it no offense to you but please take care next time doc.
You have to watch the next episode right away, if you leave it till later you will regret it cause it deals with the aftermath of this episode and is big.
But it doesn't make much sense completely out of the context of the rest of the series.
True, I think the next few episodes/the arc immediately following this one are not just good by House standards, but some of the most compelling TV I've ever watched (without getting into spoiler territory). Highly recommend them.
i will say the weird deviation into 'are atheists smarter than religious people' tangent was rly weird. The concept of intelligence is so unscientific in the first place, it's unrelated to anything medical, and any situation where you're doing x religious belief versus whichever other one it ends up feeling pushy
He was referring to studies. Go question the studies.
I would say that both atheism and religiosity are on the lower side intelligence wise. Neither is particularly smart if we consider the scientific method: you come up with a hypothesis, say god is/n't real, figure out how to test it and then have others replicate your results. Believing in god or not is then just the hypothesis without the testing and having others check your work.
No proof for or against something but you strongly believing in it and refusing the possibility of the opposite sounds equally like faith to me. The reason why atheists are temporarily testing higher is that they are usually people who have broken out of indoctrination which tends to be something that is hard to do on a mental level. As religions keep losing strength this will lower to roughly the same level.
Science is supposed to be agnostic or positive nihilistic in nature. You don't know something until it's proven, it's all hypothesis until it is and then it is either called a fact or becomes a "theory" because you are still looking for more details. A this point it wouldn't be a matter of faith at all. Just of if you care or not, hence the positive nihilism.
So agnositic and Nihilism are probably the traits of the most intelligent... and musk is just parroting the ideas of others.
I'm technically agnostic, but usually, whenever religious people start talking about their religion, I usually turn atheist very quickly.
Or in other words. I believe that their particular claims cannot possibly be true.
It's technically not impossible that at any second a snow ball could materialize out of "thin air" with a direction and velocity to really smack you in the face and yet... nobody goes around ducking constantly.
Some things are so improbable or unlikely we can rule them "impossible". Imho.
@@nt78stonewobble Oh yeah, I also don't think any current religions if a god is ever proven to exist will be on the money. So obviously the dumbest are people who get bent out of shape about the exact rules or beliefs of their particular brand of nonsense. Although I do really like the taoist/buddist idea of turning into a god via dedication to your craft. XD
You shouldn't criticise the decisions of others with the arrogance of someone pretending to know what are good and what are bad decisions. Nobody knows whether a decision will turn out to be good or bad, hence the whole concept of telling someone elsee, what decision to make, is flawed and based on ignorance. Also, to assume that you know 'the hard truth' about someone else, is rather ignorant as well. How are you to know, who they are in their heart? Rather than assume and tell someone 'who they are' and 'what's true about them' from your own flawed perspective, propose open questions, not leading ones, and do not assume you know someone better than they know themselves.
The problem with saying 'mean things' is that you never know whether those things are actually true. You are just assuming and you willingly run the risk of harming someone for a lifetime if you are wrong and the person you say them to believes you. You run the risk of screwing someone for life because of your own assumptions about a person's 'hard truth'. And that's not worth it. Ever.
Bro I've done 5 day hard fast before no food no water at all and was still pissing so that 3 days without water is BS
Good for you.
