I watched a doc of a woman with Chimerism and the top half of her body was hers and the other half had her twin sisters DNA and she almost lost custody of her kids because biologically her kids had her sisters DNA and not hers It was a crazy story.
If I'm remembering the correct story, I believe she was pregnant during the trial(?) and they DNA tested the newborn to discover that the DNA did not match and that was what proved the theory.
@@yuki_vang bingo that was it and it was crazy what she went through because of it. Though chimerism is often found in cats than people so it was cool to learn humans could be like that too.
Parents often disregard their children because they think the child is making up nonsense, but they are forgetting that the children don't know how to explain things. He thinks he was abducted and what he feels in his neck is a micro chip, but he did feel something. It's just that because he described it in a certain way that made no sense or revolved around imagination, he was ignored. But chances were that he did have something in there, or there's a psychological or neurological issue causing the sensation of something being in there. LISTEN TO YOUR KIDS!
He did a titanium metal chip from a previous surgery. His brain formed delusions and hallucinations in an effort to interpret sensory input it couldn't understand. Similarly to a major mental illness the source was out of his control. Same thing happens to schizophrenic's and bipolar patients.
Not to mention the pain in his ribs. Sure, he created a reason for it being there that wasn't very logical, but he wouldn't wouldn't make up the part about it hurting
I stood on a pin once when I was really young, my mum I thought she had pulled it all out, but the pin snapped in half. I honestly didn't feel it until it moved into a uncomfortable position in my foot 6 months later. My parents didn't belive that was something still there (I'm a drama queen, still am) but took me to the minor injuries unit as they saw a little black dot appear on my foot. I had an x-ray and you could see this pin as clear as day. I had an operation to remove it four days later and in that time it had moved again so they had to get the x-ray machine down and cut me open in another place in my foot. It took the surgeons two and a half hours to find it and get it out. During the procedure they burnt the top of my foot with the lamp as they brought it closer to look into my foot so I ended up with a big blister which got infected. My parents felt so guilty bless them they brought me a hamster.
As Dwight Schrute once said: "When my mother conceived me, she was carrying twins. But I resorbed my twin brother in the womb. Now I have the strength of an adult man and a baby.
I will never understand parents who just get annoyed at their kids for strongly believing in something that’s not real and saying it is real instead of being at least a little worried and want to see why they believe it so strongly💀
@@rustyhowe3907 we like to call parents like that "lunatics". Disregard a child's imagination and then come up with an imaginary friend to pray to every night.
So you would be willing to believe your child was abducted because the kid told you ? That sounds insane and if there is literally nothing wrong with the kid, yet they keep freaking out, cutting themselves, and telling people that every 5 minutes, you’d get annoyed by it to and take them to a mental health hospital.
@@budum3 obviously there’s something wrong and they took him to the doctor. But no parent is gonna entertain bs like an alien abduction unless they’re crazy
Out of context that’s gotta be either the most confusing or the most hilarious thing to come out of a medical series. Imagine telling someone that the only way to cure a problem they have is by literally yelling at them and causing them to hallucinate. Nuts

@@stephenking5852 when you have a titanium pin under your skin that already causes internal pain and itching, a sharp scalpel would feel like scratching yourself with a push pin. Especially when youre hallucinating. I forgot why, but it has something to do with the "itch" receptors being held at the gate and being overridden if pain is inflicted in the same area. This is why digging a little X shape into a mosquito bite with your fingernail stops the itching.
Imagine walking up to an ill and hallucinating child's parents, who have no medical knowledge, and saying "Your son isn't being abducted by aliens, he's just a chimera." with zero context.
@Ralph beans In mythology, a chimera is a creature made up of the parts of many others (a lion, goat, and snake, for example). In medical terms, a chimera is an individual being that has two sets of DNA, most often (if not solely, I'm not certain whether it has other causes) the result of one larger baby absorbing another in the womb as the fetus grows. As for the human births that display this abnormality, it's more common with babies that were conceived via IVF where multiple embryos are implanted, as opposed to natural conception.
It’s complicated though, because sometimes kids DO lie or make stories up not knowing what they’re saying or the consequences. However if your kid is constantly saying “My chest/neck hurt and there’s something in there” you _probably_ should get tests done and not just yell at the poor kid tor “bothering” _a doctor_ with his symptoms
Even with an adult having delusions, trying to argue against the delusion often makes them worse, it can lead them to think you're conspiring against them and cause them to isolate themselves further. the best coarse of action is just to be supportive of them, not in an enabling way of "oh yes the government is stalking you" but moreso an "I'm sorry you're going through this, I'm here for you if you need me" until the delusional episode starts to subside (which usually only happens in a safe and stable environment) and you can convince them to seek treatment
Also chimera stuff is very very rare. There was a mother in the UK and her family was on benefits, but the government accused her of benefit Fraud. It turned out that her DNA did not match her kids's DNA.. Luckily, she was pregnant again, and that baby came out of her body and they did a DNA test right there, and she was the mother. She must have just had a reabsorbed twin as well... But holy crap! it tells you how dangerous this over reliance on the government, and government having such authority of our lives is, man it's dangerous...The medical right to suicide is important...but the moment the government touches it?

fun fact: a normal human brain has around 17 different neurological activities all going on at the same time, parallel processing, just to recognize a face. Mentally, we're all chimeras - thousands of habits learned in neurons, "not conscious" but helping all the same to keep the brain and body working.
People believing they were abducted by aliens, probably had a case of sleep paralysis. I have it a few times a year and it is so scary. But now I know I'm having them, and in those 'awake nightmares' I can concentrate on moving my finger, which then wakes me up.
Cultures all over the globe equate them with a visit from a devil, we in the west due to the influence of Hollywood and popular media call it aliens, well I don't know for sure but lean on the former explanation. I heard a researcher's account, don't know if there's truth to it, that the abduction events ceased immediately upon calling out to Jesus to save you. Anyway, whether that's real or not what's more important is being certain you're going to Heaven. I have a clear gospel presentation from a trustworthy pastor, salvation is by the grace of God through faith in the only saviour Jesus Christ. He paid the full price for our admission to Heaven, we cannot work our way there, if we are trusting even one tiny part in our own works we will not get there, it's all through Christ alone. Watch and believe, salvation gives eternal life which once you receive it, will never be lost.
@@DeathnoteBB Yeah, but it's a TV show where they're meant to be experienced diagnosticians. If I, an english lit grad with no medical knowledge, immediately knew what the answer was then the writers need to work harder to suspend the audience's disbelief.
For all of you who think they know medicine better than the doctors watch the credits at the end of the show. House had at least 6 medical doctor consultants during the seasons it was on. For instance one was a consultant for 159 episodes. So they aren’t just making up stuff. Even if it only happened once and a doctor wrote about it.
The most unrealistic part is that it all happens in this one clinic and that this one doctors knows everything. But it's a show, that's kind of expected. They also made some highly theoretical stuff into real medical cases, but they're not completely made up.
I love this little moment at 7:40. It’s simply Foreman crossing his hands and leaning in as he listens to House’s explanation. That look of intrigue and fascination is exactly why he kept coming back to this job and really didn’t want to leave.
Years ago I stumbled into the world of chimerism through stories of parents losing their children to the state . Dna didn't match ,parents accused of kidnapping. I read everything I could find ,it was fascinating. A few months later I was dating a man introduced to his daughter and toddler granddaughter. The little girls shirt rode up a bit and exposed the child's tummy. She had the classic line down the middle with two different patterns of skin coming together. I was too scared to say anything . Regret it to this day. It's usually only discovered if there is an illness requiring blood work and dna tests . Happens way more than people think.
actually girls can have a variation in skin without chimerism, its due to the X activation (a girl has XX chromosomes) each cell only displays one of the two X chromosomes, so some regions of cells will display X1 and others X2, hence a bit of variation this has apparently also led to identical twins with one being colorblind and one not (actually I checked after that if I may be colorblind in one eye!)
So this is dwight schrute from the office. Who has the strength of a grown man and a little baby. "When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby"
I hope the kid has no memories of them traumatizing him like that I know they need it to find the other DNA but the poor kid suffering his hallucinations was sad.
We had a resorbed twin in my lab many years ago. It was discovered because, long story short, when the mother was having a CVS for prenatal diagnosis, the needle unbeknownst to the Dr passed right through where the twin, (which probably didn't make it passed a few weeks) was resorbed back into the placenta. We were getting two different karyotypes, male and female, and one autosomaly abnormal. Took ages to work it out.. scary thinking we had mixed up the tests... it's extremely rare.. same as finding rocking horse teeth basically !!
@@DT-ge8gd 1) it could be regional, especially since 2) I’m 22 and haven’t the foggiest idea what it means. Most I can guess is a rocking horse toy that has teeth carved into it???
@@PokeMageTech ok. You are probably a bit young !! It is basically the fact that rocking horse, yes the wooden ones... DON'T have teeth !! Obviously as they are not a real horse... so hence the "rare". The old saying means that you just wont find something or get something or whatever you want it to pertain to... it wont happen. That's all.
I was just reading something the other day about how since no one is testing for chimerism we really have no way of knowing just how common it is, but since we do know that many more pregnancies begin as twins than end as twins it's very possible that a whole lot more human chimeras are walking around than we could ever guess. There have recently been a handful of cases where people discovered they were chimeras, including one man who was not actually the biological father of his children...instead his twin brother who'd died in utero was.
@@DeathnoteBB Fair enough, but I can add to the list if you want, phones, computers, laptops, consoles, TVs, bluetooth headsets, even grandads pacemaker.
Awesome job putting this episode into one small story! Love HOUSE MD been binging all seasons on last one not sure going to like ending lol! Being physically disabled doc I get board easy I find this somewhat stimulating
It's amazing how something so small can hijack a body and incorporate itself into it to not only stay alive, but thrive. Forget physical threats it's what's inside that's terrifying.
There was a mother who lost custody of her children for a little while because the courts found her dna didn’t match her children… THE CHILDREN SHE 100% ABSOLUTELY BIRTHED!!! When the finally got the courts to test her dna again from above her waste, the results came back positive. Turns out she would have been twins, but they absorbed back into each other with the top half being twin 1 and waste down being twin 2… course, this was so early on the it’s not like they were frankensteined together or anything. It’s just that the one surviving fetus didn’t overtake the dna of the left over the extra dna.
This would have been the most beyond epic crossover with the X-Files. Having Mulder trying to figure out weather or not it's real and Scully working to help remove the dna.
This episode scared me a lot as a kid, but the ending got me to believe that for most seemingly unexplainable things, there is almost always a logical explanation.
When I was pregnant with my youngest son I had a vague feeling I might be having twins. I didn't, but when the midwife delivered my placenta she said it was divided and that its possible there had been a twin at one point (identical twins share a placenta). I've wondered at times if doctors will someday find a part of that twin in him (happens more than people realize). Regardless, i had dismissed that vague feeling i had, but after finding out about my placenta I think my body was telling me something.
To be honest, I think what would be more novel about this case was basically how the chimerism affected the neurological component. This would turn into a test case easy simply because it would be an example of how brain patterns form in a similar way as split brain syndrome is because it almost seems like they are suggesting that his chimerism made him partly induce a split briain syndome but have interconnection with partial functions too
House say I hope he doesn't go into hyper drive . While looking for the kid at the hospital and House talking about everything Star Wars movie quotes .
Why is it obnoxious? The kid was having seizures because of where the tissues in his brain were effected coincidentally. The seizures were what were making him hallucinate, not the fact that he was joined with his twin. It just happened to be where his twin's tissues were that were effecting him. Although its not common at all, it could happen...
@@pinkvanillakitten I meant that they acted so shocked and confused when they found out about him having two different sets of DNA. "That's impossible. 😱" It's really not all that impressive. 😅
@@theconfusedvampire Seeing as Human Chimerism affects 0.00000128982329421% of the total population of Earth, chances are not everyone has dealt with someone that has had it. So to someone that has never seen it, it would be impossible.
A few years ago I met a friend I made my A-level with.... she told me she thought she had cancer. And continued that the doctors found out she had her twin inside her. As big as a small orange.... Fortunately everything went fine. I do not know if that twin was genetically identical.
Your right the mans in denial but look at the alternative, his wife suffers a horrific accident, he spent unknown amount of time with this women who he believes is his wife, falsely believes his wife had an abortion behind his back, then being told his wife his dead, he wasn't by her side when she passed on, that would destroy him clinging onto hope that he knows her might be naïve but he's desperate
"They're gonna get you! They're coming through the walls. They're gonna take you! Torture you! You'll never see your parents again." LOL - more doctors should traumatize kids like this.
It's good thing I have RUclips to use a context warning to point me to an authoritative source about Alien Abduction. Otherwise I would have been fooled about false info from a fiction TV show.
Interesting story to tell his grandkids "Oh yea once the doctors told me I was about to be abducted by aliens to save me from my twin brother I absorbed as a fetus"
"Dennis, there was another twin in your mother's womb. We were going to call him Donnie. You and Deandra devoured him before he could be born. You gobbled him up! Donnie! You would've been the good one!"
I would think the first thing they would have done when he said he could feel something in his neck would be to take an x-ray instead of pretending to remove it by pinching him.
Usually kids have a reason to believe in something so strongly. They don’t just … suddenly decide they believe in something with all their heart. They have reasons

Anyway, whether that's real or not what's more important is being certain you're going to Heaven. I have a clear gospel presentation from a trustworthy pastor, salvation is by the grace of God through faith in the only saviour Jesus Christ. He paid the full price for our admission to Heaven, we cannot work our way there, if we are trusting even one tiny part in our own works we will not get there, it's all through Christ alone. Watch and believe, salvation gives eternal life which once you receive it, will never be lost.
Can I ask you a personal question?

This episode had an X files vibe to it. I half expected to see Mulder and Scully flash their badges suddenly
I thought that too 🤣
During the episode, House did reference the X Files because of the different sets of DNA and the child's claims of being abducted by aliens.
How could they not immediately assume chimerism when there was a second type of DNA. it’s not excessively uncommon.
It’s a tv show
@@DeathnoteBB Yeah, but it's a TV show where they're meant to be experienced diagnosticians. If I, an english lit grad with no medical knowledge, immediately knew what the answer was then the writers need to work harder to suspend the audience's disbelief.
@@himynameishelen its more common knowledge nowadays then 10/ 15 years ago
15 years ago this was pretty much unheard of
For all of you who think they know medicine better than the doctors watch the credits at the end of the show. House had at least 6 medical doctor consultants during the seasons it was on. For instance one was a consultant for 159 episodes. So they aren’t just making up stuff. Even if it only happened once and a doctor wrote about it.
The most unrealistic part is that it all happens in this one clinic and that this one doctors knows everything. But it's a show, that's kind of expected. They also made some highly theoretical stuff into real medical cases, but they're not completely made up.
I was wondering if this story was based on a true case or several cases combined, fascinating all the same.
@@jsas2047
To be fair, a lot of patients go to Dr. House specifically since he's well known for diagnosing rare ailments.
@@jsas2047 Yeah but thats what makes House the show it is. Medical Sherlock Holmes. Kind of.
I love this little moment at 7:40. It’s simply Foreman crossing his hands and leaning in as he listens to House’s explanation. That look of intrigue and fascination is exactly why he kept coming back to this job and really didn’t want to leave.
now you know alien abduction is what happens when you have a resorbed twin inside of you💀💀
House response at 1:40 about the kid missing is funny.
Years ago I stumbled into the world of chimerism through stories of parents losing their children to the state . Dna didn't match ,parents accused of kidnapping. I read everything I could find ,it was fascinating. A few months later I was dating a man introduced to his daughter and toddler granddaughter. The little girls shirt rode up a bit and exposed the child's tummy. She had the classic line down the middle with two different patterns of skin coming together. I was too scared to say anything . Regret it to this day. It's usually only discovered if there is an illness requiring blood work and dna tests . Happens way more than people think.
Did they ever get their kids back?
@@LeCroissant-wn7qi yes in that doc they did ❣️
actually girls can have a variation in skin without chimerism, its due to the X activation (a girl has XX chromosomes) each cell only displays one of the two X chromosomes, so some regions of cells will display X1 and others X2, hence a bit of variation
this has apparently also led to identical twins with one being colorblind and one not (actually I checked after that if I may be colorblind in one eye!)
So this is dwight schrute from the office. Who has the strength of a grown man and a little baby.
"When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby"
Hahahaha 😂👍
Nooooo😂😂😂 IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
Lol you did not use the joke from the office
2:38 he sounded so serious i actually almost believed him for a second and then "No you idiot!" 🤣🤣
I'm loving the Wikipedia context on alien abduction. Hahaha. I guess the software thinks that this video might be promoting conspiracy theories!
OK, it was creepier than I expected!
I’m kinda curious about what it says
That's no Alien abduction, the kid clearly visited the Black Lodge, his mom is Laura Palmer after all.
Finally a comment mentioning it lmfao
I hope the kid has no memories of them traumatizing him like that I know they need it to find the other DNA but the poor kid suffering his hallucinations was sad.
He _was_ happy immediately afterwards, because in that imaginary world, the doctors 'got' all the aliens as in eliminated the threat
He's 7 not 3.
He'll remember for awhile
Not gonna lie
I cried with relief
When Clancy said
"You Got Them"😭
Parents should really be patient with their kids when it comes to this kind of thing
We had a resorbed twin in my lab many years ago. It was discovered because, long story short, when the mother was having a CVS for prenatal diagnosis, the needle unbeknownst to the Dr passed right through where the twin, (which probably didn't make it passed a few weeks) was resorbed back into the placenta. We were getting two different karyotypes, male and female, and one autosomaly abnormal. Took ages to work it out.. scary thinking we had mixed up the tests... it's extremely rare.. same as finding rocking horse teeth basically !!
rocking horse teeth?
@@Glitterboom Yes... seriously? Are you not old enough to know that saying?
@@DT-ge8gd
1) it could be regional, especially since
2) I’m 22 and haven’t the foggiest idea what it means. Most I can guess is a rocking horse toy that has teeth carved into it???
@@PokeMageTech ok. You are probably a bit young !! It is basically the fact that rocking horse, yes the wooden ones... DON'T have teeth !! Obviously as they are not a real horse... so hence the "rare". The old saying means that you just wont find something or get something or whatever you want it to pertain to... it wont happen. That's all.
I was just reading something the other day about how since no one is testing for chimerism we really have no way of knowing just how common it is, but since we do know that many more pregnancies begin as twins than end as twins it's very possible that a whole lot more human chimeras are walking around than we could ever guess. There have recently been a handful of cases where people discovered they were chimeras, including one man who was not actually the biological father of his children...instead his twin brother who'd died in utero was.
Do these parents not want their kid to get help?
they think the kid is going through a phase
@@toomanyaccounts and they know how imaginative kids can be.
Oh no they thought yelling at chase is helpful enough lol
They deny that a problem exists.
No parents of 5-11 year olds want.
Man, there was a time I thought there was a chip in my head too buddy, you not alone.
Yeah we don't have chips in our heads, we have microphones and bugs all over our house, and in our hands, listening to all of our conversations lol.

Surprisingly knowing Clancy wasn't delirious about something in the back of his neck
This was a very unique episode. I don't recall a bad episode from season 3 at all!
Kid went from aliens to werewolves. That’s crazy.
The Quarry? 😂
What character was he
@@sinistersalem1983 Laura’s boyfriend
also zombies!
Okay thank you. I thought it was him but wasn't 100% sure. His lip structure gives it away, it is unique.
Awesome job putting this episode into one small story! Love HOUSE MD been binging all seasons on last one not sure going to like ending lol! Being physically disabled doc I get board easy I find this somewhat stimulating
It's amazing how something so small can hijack a body and incorporate itself into it to not only stay alive, but thrive. Forget physical threats it's what's inside that's terrifying.
Especially if you don’t know what it is your up against.
There was a mother who lost custody of her children for a little while because the courts found her dna didn’t match her children… THE CHILDREN SHE 100% ABSOLUTELY BIRTHED!!!
When the finally got the courts to test her dna again from above her waste, the results came back positive.
Turns out she would have been twins, but they absorbed back into each other with the top half being twin 1 and waste down being twin 2… course, this was so early on the it’s not like they were frankensteined together or anything.
It’s just that the one surviving fetus didn’t overtake the dna of the left over the extra dna.
Chimerism is one of the rarest conditions featured on this show, to the point where only about 100 cases have ever been diagnosed worldwide.
Dissociative Identity Disorder is actually more rare considering it’s more of a myth than a condition with zero fully documented cases.
House really went next level with some of it's storylines and I love it ❤
what’s even a little scarier is that’s a real condition i have heard of two or three cases
Guess his inner brother watched too much x-files episodes.
He watched too much X files since he was the one hallucinating, not his "brother".
This would have been the most beyond epic crossover with the X-Files.
Having Mulder trying to figure out weather or not it's real and Scully working to help remove the dna.
You take alpha centauri, foreman can take tattooine and cameron can set up an intergalactic checkpoint, love it
This episode scared me a lot as a kid, but the ending got me to believe that for most seemingly unexplainable things, there is almost always a logical explanation.
WHY were you watching house as a CHILD
Why are "AdULts" always lying, discrediting and overall just messing with the kids' psyche. Ugh this makes me furious 😡😡😡.
“They said it might not even be terrestrial”
“Really?!?”
“No you idiot”
You would think they would have x rayed that kid before everything.
Don’t they say they did and didn’t see anything? It’s cells not bones
cells need special chemicals to show up.
When I was pregnant with my youngest son I had a vague feeling I might be having twins. I didn't, but when the midwife delivered my placenta she said it was divided and that its possible there had been a twin at one point (identical twins share a placenta). I've wondered at times if doctors will someday find a part of that twin in him (happens more than people realize). Regardless, i had dismissed that vague feeling i had, but after finding out about my placenta I think my body was telling me something.
That's really interesting. Sometimes we just know things...
I think the best you can do is make sure that medical history is known to all his doctors
It’s a baby Eric from Santa Clarita diet lol.
I knew i recognised him from somewhere!
Skyler Gisondo! Love him.
To be honest, I think what would be more novel about this case was basically how the chimerism affected the neurological component. This would turn into a test case easy simply because it would be an example of how brain patterns form in a similar way as split brain syndrome is because it almost seems like they are suggesting that his chimerism made him partly induce a split briain syndome but have interconnection with partial functions too
As a seasoned doctor, I'm surprised that having found 2 different DNA, they didn't pop CHIMERISM into their DDX
It wasn't common knowledge back then + tv drama
It's also very very rare. Only around 100ish people have it world wide
When Twenty One Pilots fans hear the name Clancy: “So Few, So Proud, So emotional…”
i love how its 4 doctors and 3 are staring at the two sets of DNA calling it alien DNA, you can see on House’s face he knows its not there 😂
Alien, as in, foreign and not invited
House say I hope he doesn't go into hyper drive . While looking for the kid at the hospital and House talking about everything Star Wars movie quotes .
This episode is so abonoxious now that I'm older. An old friend of mine was a chimera, she was her own twin.
Why is it obnoxious? The kid was having seizures because of where the tissues in his brain were effected coincidentally. The seizures were what were making him hallucinate, not the fact that he was joined with his twin. It just happened to be where his twin's tissues were that were effecting him. Although its not common at all, it could happen...
Mans be like: Abonoxious
@@pinkvanillakitten I meant that they acted so shocked and confused when they found out about him having two different sets of DNA. "That's impossible. 😱" It's really not all that impressive. 😅
@@theconfusedvampire Ohhh I gotchu, yeah thats true!
@@theconfusedvampire Seeing as Human Chimerism affects 0.00000128982329421% of the total population of Earth, chances are not everyone has dealt with someone that has had it. So to someone that has never seen it, it would be impossible.
A few years ago I met a friend I made my A-level with.... she told me she thought she had cancer. And continued that the doctors found out she had her twin inside her. As big as a small orange.... Fortunately everything went fine. I do not know if that twin was genetically identical.
Every time I see this thumbnail I think "It's Max the werewolf from The Quarry!"
0:26 This boy is into Twenty One Pilots Lore. Clancy
BRO YES THAT’S WHAT I WAS THINKING. BRO THIS NEEDS TO BE MOST POPULAR COMMENT RN BROTHA!1
Bro I love that band!!!
Frr the whole time he was thinking "I don't wanna be here, I DON'T WANNA BE HERE!!!"
" Uh I'm 7 not 3 all you did was pinch my neck" " Sorry" That got me hahaha
you have to go to were there are no windows so you can get the chip out of your neck🤣🤣
Kids such a good actor, that ending scene made me happy and sad simultaneously.
Your right the mans in denial but look at the alternative, his wife suffers a horrific accident, he spent unknown amount of time with this women who he believes is his wife, falsely believes his wife had an abortion behind his back, then being told his wife his dead, he wasn't by her side when she passed on, that would destroy him clinging onto hope that he knows her might be naïve but he's desperate
"They're gonna get you! They're coming through the walls. They're gonna take you! Torture you! You'll never see your parents again."
LOL - more doctors should traumatize kids like this.
It's good thing I have RUclips to use a context warning to point me to an authoritative source about Alien Abduction. Otherwise I would have been fooled about false info from a fiction TV show.
Nah bruh- now Wikipedia defining what an alien invasion is 🤣🤣
Watching this while doing medical studies 😂
Literally the scariest episode ever lol
No one should be surprised that weird stuff happens to Laura Palmer’s kid.
lol came looking for this!
Clancy is smart
Just discovered a miniature piece of titanium
Yeah I know right. He even escaped Dema where the 9 bishops celebrate suicide which they think leads to paradise.
Interesting story to tell his grandkids "Oh yea once the doctors told me I was about to be abducted by aliens to save me from my twin brother I absorbed as a fetus"
"Dennis, there was another twin in your mother's womb. We were going to call him Donnie. You and Deandra devoured him before he could be born. You gobbled him up! Donnie! You would've been the good one!"
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
This was the first episode of House I ever saw. I was immediately hooked.
I would think the first thing they would have done when he said he could feel something in his neck would be to take an x-ray instead of pretending to remove it by pinching him.
The kid looks like Harry potter
I’ve always said I’m from another planet, I’m starting to believe it!😂
5:31 crazy and scary near death experience (seems like it , bright light, feeling your body levitating towards it)
Episodes:
Everyone at start: You crazy nutjob.
Everyone at end: You were right.
A pedi patient is missing in a hospital, no codes called people walking in and out of the hospital 😂
This is Erik from Santa Clara diet 😊. He is so freakin cute then and now.
This was one of my favorite episodes!!
As a chimera, it’s one of my least… couldn’t watch it after that. Took me more than 10 years to watch it again.
@@MariaAgnesQuinn did it scare you? Like creating a possible outcome for you? =\ how does being a chimera effect you if you don’t mind me asking
Usually kids have a reason to believe in something so strongly.
They don’t just … suddenly decide they believe in something with all their heart. They have reasons
I’m lucky all I got from my reabsorbed twin was white eyelashes and lifelong depression 😢
Same ayoooooo. What if we're depressed because we lost our other half?
@@blackcat3585 well considering what usually causes depression most likely you would both be alive with depression but less lonely
9:19 I can't believe that House's biological family finally returned to look at his work
5:16
Yo, even House was perplexed.
This was gave me chills...
The best medical show ever ! Still watching reruns
"THEY'RE GONNA GET YOU." I'm dead bro 😭
Clancy: **floating out of his bed**
Me: Bestie’s just havin the time of his life 😌
"Yeah yell at me that'll fix the kid" Chase really was turning into House
i had always wondered if they’d done an episode on this medical condition i guess they did.
These House videos have the most hilarious titles…
Oh wow! I felt so bad for Clancy especially because his parents didn't believe him. Always listen!
