“If alternate medicine worked, it would just be called medicine.” That’s actually very true.
It was called medicine. It was Rockefeller foundation who created the American Medical Association and unified allopathic medical schools to make that the standard of care while ostracizing herbs and natural remedies.
Been saying basically the same thing about "social" justice for years. If it's actually justice, why isn't it just called that?
@@logicplague actually we shouldn’t encourage them to actually consider social justice as justice. The word has lost enough meaning.
Not really big farma and doctors are greedy
@@08Coolster Nope, in fact the term "allopathic medicine" doesn't exist, it was created by homeopaths so they can sell they're shit and say it's alternative medicine. Please stop spreading lies and misinformation.
The animation work on the spin with Zangief was excellent!
More so on the teabagging!
"Your spine make many popping sounds, therefore better".
That one was hilarious 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Zangeif is good guy who crush men's heads like Sparrow's eggs between thighs. And work in physical therapy on side. Is good karma.
'If alternative medicine worked, it would just be called medicine'
Can't get much clearer than this.
(This turned out to be long) To be fair, some alternative medicines do work. Like stem ginger for nausea and acupuncture can be used to help with chronic pain.
The problem is, they are supposed to be used in conjunction with regular medicine and the snake-oil salesmen will ethier grossly over-exaggerate or out-right lie about how effective they can be.
Like stem ginger, it can help with things like morning or motion sickness but is completely useless for vomiting from late stage stomach cancer.
Then you have the stuff that's BS, like crystal therapy and homeopathy. I have no idea how someone hijacked meditation crystals and came to the conclusion that "Shiny rocks can cure anything".
Crystal healer like to talk about the people that have been "saved" but conveniently forget about the hundreds of thousands who die because they abandoned their regular treatments. In countries without universal healthcare this is a big problem, surgery and medication is expensive, and can put you and your family in crippling debt but crystal therapy is an absolute bargain in comparison. Even being generous and saying that it does offer a benefit in the form of the placebo effect, that is not curing AIDS or leukaemia.
Homeopathy is some how dumber, do you know how it came about? Herbalists using actually effective herbal medicine had their work corrupted, it could help with minor illnesses but the early homeopathic treatments wanted to promise more. So they started using plants like from the poisonous Nightshade family and stuff like Fox Gloves which contains the poison Digitalis.
Unsurprisingly, feeding sucker marks, err, I mean, patients deadly poisons prevents repeat business, so they watered it down, literally. They take a drop of the extract of the supposed active ingredient and put in a container of water, then take a drop of that and put in another container of water and so on.
It gets so watered down that by the time they are done, the might of well put one drop of extract in a container with all the water on Earth and sell little vials of that.
It all linked to be part of a debunked hypothesis of "The Memory of Water", an stupid idea that water can retain positive effects of poisons while eliminating the harmful effects.
A bunch of scientists and real doctors tested some homeopathic treatments, the results came back that drinking tap water would be just as effective for curing anything as homeopathy.
@@chaosreaver3597 You would enjoy the book “Bad Science” by Dr Ben Goldacre (and possibly also the follow up “Bad Pharma”). The way pseudoscience works is that its advocates shift the goalposts whenever you debunk their arguments. For example, the inventor of Homeopathy - Samuel Hahnemann - made no mention of water having “memory”… this was only added to homeopathic lore once mathematicians debunked the idea that a homeopathic pill contained any active ingredient given the numerous dilutions.
A doctor I went to one time said that there is no "alternative medicine", just "alternatives TO medicine".
This was because a super shady physiotherapy center wanted to subject me to "magnetotherapy" for my knee because I had a "dent" in the cartilage. Now, I'm no doctor, but I do know physics, and a magnet powerful enough to have such a drastic effect on my body would probably damage and/or destroy every other piece of equipment in the "office" (read: renovated apartment).
@@chaosreaver3597 Cronic pain sufferer here, all Acupuncture did was cause more pain... I terrified that acupuncturist with my screams of agony!
@@Hopalongtom That sucks, I should of been more clear, if I remember correctly, it only works for about 27% of people, most suffer with discomfort but nothing serious. Sound like you're in the "lucky" 12% were it was actually painful.
It's how it goes with a lot of alternative medicine, it can help, but only for a fraction of people and only for certain conditions.
One of my uncles messed his back up a few years back, he tried acupuncture but, and I quote "I just wasted £40 to have someone poke me". He wasn't keen on the idea of getting hooked on pain meds, so he tried massage next, again I quote "Wish the only one who knew what they were doing wasn't that pretty boy".
He stuck with it because it meant on the day of the massage and a day or two after he only took half the normal amount of pain medication.
The thing about alternative medicine, is that it doesn't work for everyone, just like conventional medicine. Good practitioners will tell you that is isn't working (in your case that's bloody obvious), but the scam artists don't.
Homeopaths, crystal healers, those pricks who sell "essential oils" will lie through their ass to convince people it just needs time to work, the entire time reaching into your wallet.
Besides, I'll ask my doctor if there are supplements or alternative treatments I can use if I'm sick, could be a nutritionist, herbalist or whoever and I'll give it a shot, if works I'll go with it, but only because someone with a medical degree recommended it.
Production cost of a green mushroom:
100 Coins.
What you pay in the end:
52.000 Coins
# of coins Mushroomcare shorted Mario on red and blue mushrooms because "it'll average out": 31,500 coins.
Cost of transport, storage, dispensing, and all legal compliance: 20,500.
What it really costs: 20,500 coins.
What you charge: 52,000 coins.
What Mushroomcare pays: 52,000 coins.
What Mushroomcare renumerates 6 months after paying the bill: 40,000
You get: 12,500 coins net for a 20,500 coin mushroom.
It's a broken system when the govt won't pay its bills.
american health care system in a nutshell
@@sma1652 Pretty much yeah. We're the only system where govt insurance like Medicare tells healthcare providers that they have to lose money taking care of their people, and to pay for those losses from the profits gained by private insurance payors. Its bad when the govt won't pay its bills dude, lots of problems come up
@@jacob2359 You have it backwards. Medicare is required by law to pay whatever pharmaceutical companies say drugs cost and cannot deny coverage for necessary drugs. They are legally barred from even negotiating down the prices. It's the inverse of a socialized program, where the government is at the absolute mercy of the market.
@@Demmrir Thats negotiating with drug companies, which by the way Medicare still maintains a "preferred provider" status for pharmaceuticals which means that while Medicare can't negotiate the price they do still award insurance coverage in a winner-take-all manner which is what has driven the near-monopolization of the drug industry.
In addition, Medicare is allowed to negotiate pharmacy reimbursement and hospital/LTC/SNF reimbursement. Currently it costs a pharmacy $10-15 per prescription to maintain operations (separate from the cost of drug) and Medicare codified that dispensing fee as about $3.50/script. Which forces every pharmacy to increase the cost of drug to make up those losses.
In addition, Medicare has historically negotiated rates and preferred statuses with hospitals often on a X cents-per-dollar of the list price basis, which often is below the at-cost rate of an item or service. These things are also part of why my local hospital was bought out when I was young: They refused a price cut by Medicare, Medicare chose the hospital down the street to be their preferred hospital, and the next year my old hospital almost went bankrupt and was bought by the one down the street.
The cause of price increases in the U.S. is due to unilateral reimbursement cuts by Medicare in the 90's-00's to save money. When the govt negotiates, no one wins.
"If alternative medicine worked, it would just be called medicine." Thank you for putting it into a snappy one liner for me to regurgitate.
I’m with Mario on that one
_"All my accounts are..."_
Ever see a bad joke coming and it still has exactly the same impact?
Sometimes bad joke can be hilarious in how bad it is. Lol. Its the art of bad jokes.
ever since I got these new glasses... ALL THE TIME
Bruh. We need to see more of this Zangief. That was HILARIOUS!!!! Hope they bring him back.
The way he strolls in with his guard up. OMG
Then, 4 months later, Noob Saibot suddenly received a few more bills in the mail demanding payment immediately to avoid collections.
And he hara kiri'd himself
@@youraveragejoe2 then they just revive him and add more to the bill
@@pokemon15021
This life brought to you by: Hyperion! Hyperion: you die when we say you can.
Now that's what I call spine chilling!
Get out
CARLOS!
@@DadsCigaretteRun No no he got a point !
Yeah I’m going to give that like button the cold shoulder lol
Corner. NOW!
This explains so much more than you can ever imagine.
What are you going on about?
@@Robert-tl2vg alternative medicine is bullshit
@@Robert-tl2vg everything😵💫
"My accounts are Frozen" is all the motivation I need to go to work today 🤣🤣
Doctor Mario: You're-a fully healed.
Patient: I do not actually have any money.
Doctor Mario: Nurse-a! It's-a time for a lava bath.
Mario got off of mushrooms and chased his dreams of being a doctor
I love the connection Dr Mario gets now days. He was extremely irrelevant for a long time.
My entire childhood gaming experience in 1 video.....
Thank you for the Nostalgia.
'If alternative medicine works they would be called medicine' 😂😂. This made my day
"Y'know, if alternative medicine worked, it would just be called "medicine"."
Dr. Mario prescribing some truth!
So, is Video game Hospital gonna be a new series like Sonic for Hire, Megaman dies at the end or The Legend of Karen?
It has potential.
I *love* that Ecco the Dolphin and his glyphs were used in the woo treatment room. _Clearly_ this means that Lowbrow Studios officially endorses my obsessive desire for Ecco the Dolphin 3 to be made. P.S. Do more Ecco the Dolphin videos!
Ecco the Dolphin does exist? It was on Dreamcast and was apparently bad
@@anomalocaris2593 no that was just the Dreamcast version, the first two games came out on Sega Mega Drive (with enhanced Mega CD ports), they were excellent, although also very hard. They were supposed to be the first two parts of a trilogy. Sadly, the Dreamcast game did not provide the third part to resolve the cliffhanger at the end of the second game, instead it entirely rebooted the franchise, which was _incredibly_ frustrating. I’ve never played it yet, so I can’t comment on its quality as a game.
Seeing Zangief made my day, hope we get to see more of him. 💪🏼
I love that they incorporated Ecco the Dolphin
"if alternative medicine worked ... it would just be called medicine"
love that line xD
This brought me back the PTSD of playing echo the dolfin.
Lol "if alternative medicine worked it would just be called medicine"
Chiropractic is pretty real if you by some chance you got your bone displaced, it is much better than some doctor who told you to do surgery.
@@antoniusevan3722 Nope. There are dozens of scientific studies that have found that chiropractic is pure woo and far more harmful than beneficial, having killed a number of people with their "adjustments". The only thing scientific investigation has found that chiropractic is good for is lower back pain and that's just because they're using regular physical therapy methods for that and nothing that has to do with chiropractic.
Helluva way to get a Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter crossover.
Zangief chiropractor confirmed as recurring character.
“You know if alternative medicine worked, it would just be called medicine”
Spoken like a true doctor
Sub-Zero wins! FATALITY!!... Wait a minute! Noob Saibot is still alive?!
This series is great! Hope to see more of it. Good job guys!
"My accounts are... uhhh.. frozen. 😁"
*dropkick to the chest*
"Not gonna happen bro."
“If alternate medicine worked it would just be called medicine”
THANK YOU FOR THE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE LINE! Mario said what I have always thought.
"If alternative medicine worked, it would just be called medicine." Pretty sure they stole that from Tim Minchin
And yet it remains true.
Crippling medical debt? This must be America
-All my accounts are frozen
Zangief appears.
-Do you take Apple Pay?
Something about the crystal Therapy section is super pleasing to me
ya Know it's truly amazing how much this Channel Blew up over the years
going from 3.47k subs to now almost 200k
The amount of irony, satire and clear insight that are cleverly compressend is ... frightening!
If only we could get a Video Game Agent mashup with this.
"Mario my main jumpman, my medical marostashio, my M.D. with power. Listen buddy my client is a little upset because you treated his fatal injury with a green mushroom. Good news though we can make this all go away with a *cough* gold coins just sign these papers my man. How's that princess working out for yah b. T. W."
I read all that in his voice and at the end read BTW as "bee, tee, dubs."
@@DS-mo1xf facepalm how did I forget that part, thanks
"He says that will be 72,000 dollars."
On the bright side, he's alive and that's still cheaper than the normal hospital bills in America.
Well. To be fair he was still alive when he entered the hospital. He entered as parts in a wheel barrel and left a parts in a wheel barrel.
I love how the crystals are from Ecco the dolphin!
This brings me so much joy, remembering back to my childhood thinking that when the dev head sprite said toasty, he was saying "P_s__" lulz
The only thing that could have made this sketch better is a cameo by the great Rich Evans!
Oh my gosh, Video Game Hospital came back. And was still freakin' hilarious. XD Thank you Lowbrow!
First time I’ve seen Needle man in a lowbrow animation nice
Thanks qui liang, You blew your money for an ice pun
I'd be willing to let Zangief do that to my spine. Nothing else seems to work.
“Wow. There is a lot of tension in your spine. Let’s go ahead and ease that up for you.”
Gotta love the shout-out to the healer from Toejam & Earl. And she only costs $1, not $72,000!
As always your work is FUNtastic.
I feel like the entire skit was only made so that ol’ Sub could crack a pun.
You would think a death turnament would have health insurance if you survived. A huge oversight for the company
the most realistic moment of this was the hospital bill.
One of the best ones yet!
Can't wait to see the third video of this hospital show.
Now that's a FATALITY
Can’t wait for more from this series
Next time make the hospital sign appear for one second only. Imagine more story you could squeeze in
I love Lowbro Studios!
This has become a favorite
Ah another good day with a new upload
For that pun, Sun Zero, you deserved that
"If alternative medicine worked, it would just be called medicine" ~ Dr. Mario (Lowbrow Studios)
Was expecting Culex to be the crystal expert given the appearance in Mario RPG.
That was awesome great video
The creations of Quan Chi do not die easily... but they sure cost a lot of coin to keep alive. Dead. Undead. Whatever.
Oh, i hope for more of this
I'm still waiting for Morty Kombat season 2
If you were healing Cyrax/Sektor he could have gone to Dr Robotnik lol
On a serious note!!! In November of 2020 I got Covid and was really bad. Er 3 times and admitted once for 3days. I have asthma really bad so the Covid really messed me up. Thought I was gonna die. I was sick for about 40days, still not right. I watched so many LowBrow / Dorkly videos. Honestly laughing really hurt but it helped! I know yinz get thousands of comments but I hope you guys see this one! What yinz do on this channel helped me during one of the worst times in my life! Just hearing the intro music cheers me up. Honestly from the bottom of my heart I want to say Thank you!
Just realized I told my covid story in the comment section of the video for "video game hospital"!
I wasn't ready for Chiropractic Zanguief
So this is how Shaggy’s Fatality would play out.
Needle Man was an unexpected but welcome surprise!
This was awesome
Amazing video
I'd make a joke about the frosty reception at the beginning....but i am afraid i might get the cold shoulder...
He would've been fine if he used essential oils
The apple pay line got me
Did not expect to see Ecco.
A part of me wondered if i simply imagined playing those games.
- Your OWN brother!
- I didn't even know that yet!
None of us did. Hell, even Boon and Tobias didn't know!!
We need more from Video Game Hospital
another masterpiece!
Noob just didn't have the spine to pay for his own treatment.
This is the cost of "Alternative Medicine"
I loved the ecco at the end
"If alternative medicine worked it would just be called medicine" i want that on a t-shirt 😆
Gives me a great idea. Thanks for that. (If I remember the idea by the time i get back home. 🤣🤣)
You figure they would have insurance for crap like this
I like seeing Mario portrayed as a legitimate doctor.
XD that last part was funny
@2:28 - Another scathing indictment of the inefficient, private insurance healthcare system.
Dying...dying is the cost of a fatality.
Kuai Liang ruins Bi Han's moment to reveal the big twist xD
Wow that was crazy lol. “All my accounts are frozen”
I love the phrase “if alternative medicine worked, it would just be called medicine”
Love your content
I see Needle Man got reprogrammed to function in society instead of being a murder robot 👍
The subzero and noob and Liu Kang episodes are the best
Always wanted a spinal adjustment like what Zangief did...
"you know if alternative medicine worked it would just be called medicine" OMG 😱 why is this not blasted from the roof tops! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because the people who need to learn this would not be listening anyway.
New Series! New Series! New Series!
No chiropractor will ever be as great a Zangief!
