I'm an Acupuncturist and it's best to be vaccinated against Hep B for us in case of needle sticks tho rare. Most types of Hepatitis don't have vaccines.
@nachtegael W there's D and E but you have to have Hep B to get Hep D so if you are vaccinated for Hep B you are protected against both and Hep E is transmitted via stool. There's no vaccine for it and it's not common in the US and developed countries. It's more common in undeveloped countries. www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hev/index.htm
This was us in the lunch room this week trying to figure out how to screen our patients for Hep.B, who to test, what tests to order, and what the results meant...😂
As a nurse only, not a lab tech, I have NO IDEA what they are speaking of! Of course, I’m retired now and did my nursing in the dark ages (1970’s-1990’s), before a lot of this researched and known! 😮😅
HONESTLY same. We had to memorize like 5 different tables of hepatitis antibodies and antigens and had to correlate which ones indicated which types of infections
@@thespqrguy I remember an antivax guy once going isn't how does hep antibody prove both protection from hepatis or show prior infection and I was like other than your stupid comment , here's the full complicated story of HbS antigen, antibody, IgG and etcetc for a doctor to determine hepatitis. Now grow a brain and get vaccinated.
I’m just a preventive medicine technician and my first week in epidemiology I ran into this. I was so confused, and the doctor trying to explain this to me pretty much melted my brain.
As a patient, I absolutely hate this too. None of my doctors ever explain any of this to me properly. I’ve never had any issues, but I do recall a doctor telling me that I must’ve ones had hepatitis B because I tested positive for the antibodies. So I never know quite how to answer the question, have you ever had hepatitis B? Well, I don’t recall ever having it, but I was told that I might’ve had it or I got a vaccine.
I got hep b at birth. Had it until I was 6-7 years old. Chronic infection is super dangerous for a kid that young, like my parents (who didn't find out about this until after they finalized my adoption) thought I might die from this one day. Thankfully I recovered. But yeah I too hate Hep B, but for different reasons 😂
My dad (indirectly) died when I was 9, due to a chronic hepatitis B infection that he had been unaware of. He had developed cirrhosis, and during his liver transplant, they realized that he had cancer and it had spread in such a way that it was inoperable.

This reminds me of a Doctor I had a while back. FIRST time I met him I walk in and state that I have lupus, and point out my very obvious butterfly rash on my face. I then go for multiple tests every two weeks for 14 months. All coming back with mostly nominal results that don't explain symptoms. Finally I go in and he comes into the room looking very serious and telling me "OK don't panic, this isn't conclusive but your test results came back positive for this one marker that can sometimes be indicative of something called lupus but it's not definitive so I want to send you for more tests to rule it out." I blew up at the man because he had wasted a year of my life trying to look for every possible answer to explain away a genetic condition I was born with and had diagnosed almost 40 years ago when All I needed was treatment for some of the symptoms. He did irreversible harm to me by not treating the flares I was having or giving me any access to meds at all. I reported him to the medical board.
Imagine going to school and having to learn this and a thousand other things like it, unreal. Hats off to you doctor and nurse folk, pretty crazy job you do
"Of course how could I have been so stupid" that's a line you have said in your head so many times that when you said it it was so natural and relieving
This is very important. My mom was diagnosed with Hepatitis and diagnosed with liver cancer, but now she's getting results tomorrow to actually see if she has liver cancer because it might be a misdiagnosis because they don't know if she has actual Hepatitis or just an infection spot or however you explain (because I believe that's the difference between the Hepatitis'? That and if you got it through fluid or through birth).
Beyond the blood, and guts, and icky bits of medicine, this skit is another major reason why I never wanted to be a doctor. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning, but you all have to keep that endless amount of information straight every day for who knows how many patients. No, thank you. But, thank you!!
My dad was diagnosed with this condition. It's making him tired everyday. His back hurt, his stomach hurt, everything hurts for him. I pray for a miracle everyday.
Hepatitis B took my Dad when I was just 17 years old and left my Mum a carrier of the disease. The doctors were slow to diagnose properly because they considered it near impossible to catch in modern day. Plus my Dad was one of those stubborn guys that prefer to just walk stuff off. He only allowed us to take him to seek medical help when he became like a corn fed chicken overnight. I remember they released him home from the hospital only for him to start heavy haemorrhaging from his nose and we had to rush him back and they put him on vitamin K IV. It’s a nasty way to go, caused him much suffering over a period of a few months. It’s a hateful infection that needs permanent eradication.
This is why being a doctor is hard. Props to the thorough medical professionals. When selecting a care provider, remember, 50% of doctors graduated in the bottom 50% of their class.
I was in the top 5% of a great school and still find keeping up challenging. The school studied graduates after 5 yrs. and were unable to distinguish those who graduated in the top half from those who graduated in the bottom half.

Wait until you hear about how most of the monitoring in mental health is just patient self report…and you never have all the data, and some of the data is lies (of omission and commission)

@@JamesDecker7 i only found out a few years ago I have aphantasia (so no minds eye). I always thought it was like a metaphor about visualizing things in your mind. I have great inner dialogue, and can recall songs in my mind, love reading books (though I didn’t know others visualize the stories as they read them) I do have visual dreams but if I don’t write down describing words for it when I first wake up I completely forget it. I’m a visual artist as well, so I just make things up as I draw/paint/sculpt. Or I’ll have to look at a reference image to replicate it. It’s really interesting how everyone’s minds work differently.
I had hep B when working in a dialysis unit in 1977. Now there are many types of hepatitis and it is so confusing!

This sounds like a flow chart situation. Perfect for a Dx tool that tracks diagnostic criteria, prompts for missing data, and then recommends a treatment plan.
I don’t work in human serology but I do work in veterinary serology and this is exactly what running regulatory testing feels like 😂 There’s like 6 different tests we run for one disease and positive/mixed results need to be shipped off for confirmatory testing. Sometimes, if one of the broader tests is positive but a more specific one comes back negative we can pass it ourselves as negative, but if multiple tests start coming back as positive, even if some of the more specific ones are negative, the results are too mixed for us to declare it either way so it has to be sent in and have an epidemiologist call it lol
Science is still learning so much about Epstein-Barr virus (which causes mononucleosis). Just during Covid they learned it’s likely a leading cause of Multiple Sclerosis (or at least the trigger). Don’t worry, you’re still at super low risk of actually *getting* MS, more that if you do get MS it’s caused/triggered by EBV. Most people get Epstein Barr in their lifetime. Funnily enough, my Mom had both Hep C & EBV 🤷🏻
This also explains why in the recent past people could not be treated for Hep B. The amount of research implied by this discussion reflects how complex this infection is. Glad there are treatments now.
Usually the case when alot of fresh doctors come through, even some who've been there for several years tend to know less than the 30yrs veteran who's been through it all 😂
As someone not in the medical field, i enjoyed watching this on a loop on my phone while eating lunch and completely zoning out because i did not understand a word
And this is why we all had to go and get the Hep B vax in pharmacy school before going out on rotations. Any risk of exposure needed to be mitigated to keep the sanity of the docs and administration.
Yeah, but if you aren't at risk, it's not necessary. It's passed by sharing needles or promiscuous sex, but even if you catch it via sex it's asymptomatic in 5 out of 6 people, and only resolves to a chronic infection in 1 of 1500 whites and 5% of Asians, so it's not really something to worry about unless you're an urban gay man, prostitute, or unhygenic heroin addict.
PhD studying hep B here. This is the convo that my brain goes through every time with itself...and when you start adding in more biomarkers...even more confusing!

People need to understand that medical professionals are always in a process of learning, just like the rest of us. Medicine is a practice. They have come a long way , thankfully.
I know about this from personal experience. I probably shouldn't admit this on the internet but I contracted hepatitis b (my parents "forgot" to vaccinate me from that). And my body got over it but new nurses that don't know what they are talking about try to say I am positive but really it is just the antibodies from the previous infection. I was cleared from infectious disease doctor and I'm sure they know more about what they are talking about. And the time the nurse had said something to me I clarified with my doctor that she just didn't know what she was talking about. My liver literally started failing and then a couple days later I just started getting better.
Seriously though, people like this make people better. I learned a shit ton from someone great at their job and had no fkn time for me. Always straight facts with her. I learned quick and fast.

3 yellow tubes. 2 is technically sufficient, but trust me , 3 allows you to add test if needed.
Wait until you hear about how most of the monitoring in mental health is just patient self report…and you never have all the data, and some of the data is lies (of omission and commission)
This comment is so pertinent to the state of our mental health system. Its pathetic how bad it is in 2022!!!
Also each persons own interpretation of each of the questions:
“Do you hear voices?”
“Yes”
“What do they say?”
“They ask me if I hear voices, so yes cuz I don’t have any hearing impairments”
“?”
@@colourfulsouls My favorite is helping to educate non psychotic people about “internal dialogue” and that it is in fact a normalish thing.
@@JamesDecker7 i only found out a few years ago I have aphantasia (so no minds eye). I always thought it was like a metaphor about visualizing things in your mind.
I have great inner dialogue, and can recall songs in my mind, love reading books (though I didn’t know others visualize the stories as they read them)
I do have visual dreams but if I don’t write down describing words for it when I first wake up I completely forget it. I’m a visual artist as well, so I just make things up as I draw/paint/sculpt. Or I’ll have to look at a reference image to replicate it.
It’s really interesting how everyone’s minds work differently.
@@colourfulsouls have actually had almost exactly that conversation. 🤡
I got hepatitis A when I was homeless a few years back. At the same time, I had TB and pneumonia. I almost died. Be safe out there!
I'm a phlebotomist and now I understand why infection control doctor checks all his pts with a full hepatitis panel
“Who’s on first? What’s on second? I don’t know who’s on third?!!”
Exactly 👍🏼
I had hep B when working in a dialysis unit in 1977. Now there are many types of hepatitis and it is so confusing!
This sounds like a flow chart situation. Perfect for a Dx tool that tracks diagnostic criteria, prompts for missing data, and then recommends a treatment plan.
Had to watch it twice to get everything
This was actually my fav part of my pathogens test. straight forward if you can memorize the diff components.
Thank You! Yes, there's lots, but it's simple enough to remember each... Or the graphs of titers for acute and chronic infections
🤣perfect. It confused us just like this remembering all the types of antigens and antibodies for hep B. Why does it has to be so complicated!!!
I don’t work in human serology but I do work in veterinary serology and this is exactly what running regulatory testing feels like 😂
There’s like 6 different tests we run for one disease and positive/mixed results need to be shipped off for confirmatory testing. Sometimes, if one of the broader tests is positive but a more specific one comes back negative we can pass it ourselves as negative, but if multiple tests start coming back as positive, even if some of the more specific ones are negative, the results are too mixed for us to declare it either way so it has to be sent in and have an epidemiologist call it lol
As a dialysis nurse I feel this 😔
Worked 2 years at a medical lab and hep B still messes me up. Figuring out which freaking test the doctor ordered was such a headache
This is amazing. No wonder the doctors couldnt find my acute mononucleosis
Science is still learning so much about Epstein-Barr virus (which causes mononucleosis). Just during Covid they learned it’s likely a leading cause of Multiple Sclerosis (or at least the trigger). Don’t worry, you’re still at super low risk of actually *getting* MS, more that if you do get MS it’s caused/triggered by EBV.
Most people get Epstein Barr in their lifetime.
Funnily enough, my Mom had both Hep C & EBV 🤷🏻
It's like someone removed the page numbers off a Choose Your Own Adventure book.
me, the lab tech, resulting out "equivocal" for HbsAg, anti-Hbs, and anti-Hbc: 😬 lol imma send this to quest
A friend of mine got positive for hep B. They told him the news, then sent him home.
Poland, wonderful country for any medical issue 🙃
The amounts of times I got lost during that exchange makes Sarah from the Labyrinth seem like a pro navigator
As a nurse, I definitely appreciate this one
Surface = vaccinated
Core = currently has it
Nah , we almost never get positive on core cuz core antigens stay in livercells and dont have enough half life to stay detectable in lab tests so nope
I just took a virology course and we had a short hepatitis unit. Having to learn this while prepping for the exam was infuriating.
"i'll have what she's having"
Any vids on how your specialty overlaps with other systems? Like interesting/complex cases
We need doctors like that “lady”
Make sure you have all the data before coming up with a plan is such a validating thing to hear
"And next time try to wait till you have all the data before coming up with a plan". Why didn't someone say this two years ago?
This also explains why in the recent past people could not be treated for Hep B. The amount of research implied by this discussion reflects how complex this infection is. Glad there are treatments now.
When the nurse has 30y of experience and knows better than the doctor
Usually the case when alot of fresh doctors come through, even some who've been there for several years tend to know less than the 30yrs veteran who's been through it all 😂
As someone not in the medical field, i enjoyed watching this on a loop on my phone while eating lunch and completely zoning out because i did not understand a word
I love how the doctor is getting schooled by the nurse.
What nurse?
And this is why we all had to go and get the Hep B vax in pharmacy school before going out on rotations. Any risk of exposure needed to be mitigated to keep the sanity of the docs and administration.
Preventing Hep B is no fun, either. 3 shots, perfectly timed...then hope you seroconvert (got two Hep B series here before it actually took).
Aren't they usually done in childhood?
@@Matthew-yc6nx Mine were as an adult - I'm old :-P
@tejoned Naww shh you're a spring chicken ☺️
Yeah, but if you aren't at risk, it's not necessary. It's passed by sharing needles or promiscuous sex, but even if you catch it via sex it's asymptomatic in 5 out of 6 people, and only resolves to a chronic infection in 1 of 1500 whites and 5% of Asians, so it's not really something to worry about unless you're an urban gay man, prostitute, or unhygenic heroin addict.
PhD studying hep B here. This is the convo that my brain goes through every time with itself...and when you start adding in more biomarkers...even more confusing!
Need to ask if the patient got a vaccination also, that can cause a false positive. 🤔😂😒
Nope that's antibody titre
@@baraitalo what about those of us who have had 3 series of Hep b vaccine and still don't sero convert?
@@cherylcarlson3315 vanishingly unlikely not to seroconvert. The antibody titre is just a proxy. www.gov.uk/government/publications/hepatitis-b-the-green-book-chapter-18 page 13
Its not so much a false positive, more a misleading positive and evidence that the vaccine resulted in successful seroconversion.
@@cherylcarlson3315How is it that you have no antibodies or no long-term cell mediated immunity after 3 shots? Are you immunocompromised? Do you have a low B or T cell count?
As soon as he said Hep B every health science student knew what fresh hell was coming
I'm wondering if the blonde character is a representation of you real superior resident 😮
Didn’t know it was this complicated
I work in infectious diseases clinic, we have had to do those tests before. This is great.
This gives me anxiety, so many things could go wrong here if there is a breakdown in communication and it results in a patient not getting treated.
Exactly. It’s like a logic puzzle, like a Rubik’s cube. But when you solve it, it is SO satisfying!
It's actually pretty absurd how much doctors know
I didn't understand a word of any of this and yet understood everything perfectly.
I was just studying this for Step1 and it's perfect haha!
People need to understand that medical professionals are always in a process of learning, just like the rest of us. Medicine is a practice. They have come a long way , thankfully.
I know about this from personal experience. I probably shouldn't admit this on the internet but I contracted hepatitis b (my parents "forgot" to vaccinate me from that). And my body got over it but new nurses that don't know what they are talking about try to say I am positive but really it is just the antibodies from the previous infection. I was cleared from infectious disease doctor and I'm sure they know more about what they are talking about. And the time the nurse had said something to me I clarified with my doctor that she just didn't know what she was talking about. My liver literally started failing and then a couple days later I just started getting better.
Seriously though, people like this make people better. I learned a shit ton from someone great at their job and had no fkn time for me. Always straight facts with her. I learned quick and fast.
Love working in a lab and getting Hep A antigen, Hep B IGG/IGM, Hep B Surface Antigen, Hep C panel, and 5 other hepatitis tests all put on 1mil of serum 😐
