Let’s talk about a throwback classic, ER. This is the first medical show I’ve ever known about and watched. I remember being a youngin watching George Clooney and wondering what it would be like to actually be a doctor. Now I am a doctor so I’ve decided to share with you what I think about the pilot episode.
We have to keep in mind this show is about 2 decades old and a lot has changed in the medical space but it is still incredibly accurate. I love the character development and writing in this show because it does feel authentic to what happens during hospital hours. I guess you can say that I am a fan and that ER is accurate!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode of Real Doctor Watches ER / Real Doctor Reacts to ER. If you want me to continue making this doctor reaction video please give it a like and leave me a comment on which tv drama or show you'd like for me to review next. Love you all!

Dr. Mikhail Varshavski D.O. ( dr mike )
I work security at a hospital. 90% of my time is spent with violent and volatile patients... many with mental health/substance abuse issues.
I have responded to nurses being sexually assaulted by patients, prevented staff from being hurt and have had to prevent many patients including kids as young as 9 from harming themselves. I cannot imagine a busy hospital not having security present, even with us there medical staff deal with abuse.
😕
Omg
Thank you for doing what you do. A lot of people can't do that kind of stuff! You are appreciated. 😁
I was in the hospital for a few days last year. While I was in there I heard probably 5 or 6 calls for security to certain sections of the hospital. Those are just the ones I heard while being transported rn for xrays and ultra sounds. It’s stupid that people can be like that to people in a hospital
Nico thank you I appreciate that! We have a great department and do a lot of verbal deescalation training as well as defensive tactics/force options so when we do have physical interventions we do it as safe as possible for everyone involved.. also reduces the use of tasers that we carry!
Anakin VanDyke I know... many times our calls are to people withdrawing from drugs/alcohol, people with Alzheimer’s.. those are actually a large part. But there are a lot of times especially at night in the emergency department (I work nights) where you have regulars who become problematic with not wanting to leave after being discharged. We are definitely on high alert now with angry individuals not being able to visit loved ones (which I understand) due to COVID-19 restrictions. But there’s always the chance someone could become so upset and want to walk into a hospital and cause harm. I definitely love my job and it’s a great path and experience towards (hopefully) going into law enforcement
So, I ridiculously appreciate your rant on 'just because she's a woman doesn't mean it's a woman problem'. Keep being awesome, Dr. Mike!
Corisu Where in the video did he give this rant?
@@kirstenmuller4536 it's 12:30
Hah
I had a doctor insist I was pregnant based on daily nausea and wouldn't listen when I told him that last time I had the EXACT SAME symptoms it was acid reflux. He tested me for "a parasite" I think it was a pregnancy test. Like if you wanna confirm that I'm not pregnant fine, but don't lie to me.
@@madjack7777 ok so *technically* he wasn't lying but he wasn't exactly being straightforward either
Dr Mike: an open fracture is dangerous for 2 reasons...
Me: 1 bones aren’t supposed to be coming out of the body and 2 bones are supposed to stay inside your body
Yes.
I love gore and horror movies but open fractures as of late have been added to my list of "Injuries that unsettle me"
@@jonnieneuhart1861 there's two things that bother me injury wise. Compound fractures and incidents involving teeth.
You can also get a fat embolism from a open long bone fracture. This can cause injury to the heart (i.e heart ischemia that can cause a hear attack) or a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung).
I mean.........ur not wrong
The saddest graffiti I ever saw was in the ladies room of an ER. Someone had written, “Rest in Peace Mommy. Love your little girl.” It broke my heart every time I saw it
Senator Ted Cruz says pregnancy and birth and not life threatening, in an attempt to stop Medicare coverage of an abortion pill.
Among 10 similarly wealthy nations, the U.S. ranks 10th. Worldwide we do slightly better than Ukraine, worse than Russia. 55th world wide.
Texas, Senator Cruz's state, is near the bottom in the U.S.
Vera Lenora what does that have to do with my comment you are replying to?
@@eph2vv89only1way Don't worry about them, either they're very lost or just a bot.
Regardless, your comment is both incredibly sad and very touching at the same time
I would wager the facility custodian was not able to clean it off.
So sweet
@@justcallmejessz3712 yeah. It stayed there until the hospital was renovated a few years ago
For everyone writing about how accurate ER is as a show, the pilot was originally intended to be a feature film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Michael Crichton (yes dinosaur loving Michael Crichton) based on his personal memoirs of life as a medical student, as he had an MD but never practiced beyond graduating - that’s why they are listed as producers and show creators

That's why I originally started watching it. Spielberg and Crichton, oh yeah.
I love the man's books and the movies based on them. But ER is one that I never got around to seeing.
@@PokemonHaloFan 1994 was a banner year for Michael Crichton. ER was the top show on television, Jurassic Park was the top movie, and Disclosure was the top selling book.
All told, it’s hard to say… but in my humble opinion his best work may have been ER.

One thing that always stuck with me as a new mom was hearing “a baby can’t cry itself to death.” Meaning, if you’re overwhelmed take a break. Let the baby cry for a few minutes, make sure it’s safe, step outside, or in the shower, put on headphones, whatever you need to decompress if you feel yourself at that breaking point. I never had to use that method luckily, but it’s something I’ve told all new moms since then. And also I’m always a phone call away. I will come babysit to give a mom a break. Mental health is soooooo important not only for mom but for baby.
The instinct is to immediately calm the child. But you _can_ walk away from a crying child. It won't be the end of the world. The baby won't love you less.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was 19 and the best advice I ever got was that if I was so tired and couldn’t take the babies cry (because we all know that not sleeping and the babies cry is really stressful) I should put the baby in the crib and walk away. Take big breaths and relax a few seconds then pick the baby up. Because it’s so easy to shake the baby when frustrating.
My parents were also 19 when they had my older sister. Dad worked nightshift so mum was alone during the night. She said when she would get overwhelmed she would make a hot chocolate and go sit in the middle of the oval next to their house to take a minute for herself.
@@XxMCRroxnonstopxX Sending your mom lots of love. I totally understand that. It’s better to take a short break and just breathe. My son is soon 19 himself ❤️
I had my first at 19 too I think the worst part was my baby slept great and hardly cried but there was a few women that didn’t wake to their babies cries which also woke up my baby/after getting mine back to sleep I woke up a lady and asked to hold her baby got hers to sleep as well by the time I tried to sleep it was 7 am and all the lights were turned on and my son started crying I thought I was going to have a break down😭I’m happy she trusted me tho because I was walking around in jeans and a T-shirt my belly was flat and others were wondering what I was doing there(easy birth but I was anemic)
You _can_ walk away from a crying child. It is doesn't warp them. It doesn't make them love you less. If you're frustrated, your baby will pick up on that, making it harder to soothe them and you get more frustrated. Just take a few minutes to relax. You and your baby will be better off for it. And there is ABSOLUTELY NO shame in reaching out for help. Raising children is hard. Rewarding but difficult. Sometimes you need help. Please ask for it. Doesn't make you a failure or a bad parent. 😻
Damn, that intro song still gets me. If you were a kid in the 90s and you heard the ER intro, you knew it was time for bed.
That perfect fist pump to the music was always so satisfying.
In my house it meant it was time to watch ER with my mum, no matter how late it was!
I heard your whole comment as bob saget’s voice I cannot imagine it as anything else.
so true! i was like 🙄ugh time for mom's show, and time for my headphones, my pillow and a book before bed
Omg this comment is so true!!
Doctors not getting enough sleep sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'm sure a lot of mistakes could be prevented if medical professionals wouldn't be that overworked.
Preacher. It's a big problem all over the world sadly. :(
I was thinking that too. I can barely remember how to spell common words properly if I'm running on a few hours of sleep, how the fuck can you expect anyone to save people's lives like that
This very issue is actually brought up in either season 5 or 6 with Dr. Corday going through residency to remain in the U.S. after her fellowship ran out/was pulled.
Back in the 70s, they had my brother on 72 hour shifts. I understand the influence was due to the med units in the Korean War. Ugh. Such a bad idea.
Yeah, why can’t they work regular shifts?
My father worked as a plumber in a local hospital, he enjoys watching ER because it reminds him how much hospitals have changed and how much they haven't changed
Doctor Benton and Carter relationship was one of the best things on this show. I absolutely love how it progressed throughout the seasons.
Oh yes. That one time Carter had to remove Benton’s appendix xD
@@Noubei The pictures at the OR!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marjorierp427 Hahaha I forgot about that, now I have that moment in my head xD I'm gonna watch it again, I just love it.
@@Noubei Those happy faces live in my head jajajaja Such a great show
Especially after Carter got stabbed and started having problems.
We want more of doctor react series. Don't stop doing these please😃
Totally agreed
Exactly. We need more
does anyone know why he deleted his last video ?
@@nocigarettes9899 I have no idea. Copyright maybe ?
or maybe because of the shitstorm... ?
I found your channel a few days ago and I’m honestly OBSESSED!! I have NO plans on becoming a nurse/doctor but this is very entertaining..keep doing reacts ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Nasma Nigel
Same
I feel the same way and when your like me and is too stubborn to go to the hospital for any reason that isn't an emergency, I can learn what to do in situations that aren't life threatening while not going!
Mega Cat #changethedamnwayyouchangeyourprofile Me too he’s just so sexy and perfect and just ughh
The exact same....and I’m a straight guy haha.....it’s not healthy hahaa
Same!!❤️❤️
Would love to see you watch S1, Ep.10 "Blizzard".
"The ER staff's slow snow day becomes chaotically hectic when the casualties of a 40 car traffic accident flood in."
That’s my favorite episode in the series!
Love that episode. Car seats save lives.
I know right... and since the show is so long you see so many characters come into the scene and then die or leave...
So remember that one vividly!
So like the definition of the show, Code Black's, "code black".
Ugh, Carter is the OG McDreamy. He was McDreamy before McDreamy was even in med school😍
Carter was McDreamy before McDreamy was a twinkle in Shonda Rimes eyes. Sorry if I spelt her name wrong.
Great comment!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer imagine making this ditzy comment on a youtube video thinking it will make you seem special even though you're literally watching yt vids for entertainment just like the person you're judging for the same thing you're doing. Oh sweetie, just don't even try to pretend you're somehow morally superiour, cuz you're not hon.
🤣 ikr good one
Unfortunately, the Libby Zion law isn’t in my area.
My mom, who’s a doctor, works a 48 hour shift, far away from home. And she’s constantly tired, stressed and having burnout. I wish there was a law like that available here...
Where do you live?
There will be once someone dies
Probably England
I think Libby Zion only applies to resident doctors, so if your mom isn't a resident then it wouldn't apply anyways
Sophia Chen, yes exactly this.
I am a social worker and we call shaken baby syndrome “Abusive Head Trauma,” now. I love how you address the signs of child abuse. So so so important as physicians and healthcare professionals are often the first people to see this and they are key to helping us address it and to keep the children safe. Thank you so much Dr. Mike! Love your videos!
Thank you for being the second line of defense for this little ones. We dont choose to be born or who to be born too but we all deserve protection. Especially children. As a mother and lover of all kids thank you for what you do and having the courage to speak up💗💛💙💚
Esme S. You’re so incredibly sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words. The safety of children always comes first. No matter what!
I was about to ask about that term, so thank you for clarifying!
May I ask what kind of social work you are in and if you enjoy it? I'm a college student and am kind of lost in terms of what I wanna do but know that I feel this urge to help people, particularly women
SupernaturalLove100 Have you ever thought about volunteering at a Women’s Shelter? I did in my mid 20’s & it was very rewarding!
My mum was a GP (she’s retired now), and she always said ER was the most medically accurate of all the medical dramas. For a while, anyway. She said it got silly in its later seasons, and she quit watching.
Personally I stop watching once Carter leaves. I do go back and watch the final season because not only does Carter come back but so do the rest of the old cast
Yea after season 8 it goes downhill
it always happens with shows that go on so long. they just run out of story, and once most or all of the original cast is gone its just not the same
I love it when medical shows get unhinged.
It's 2022 and ER is still the most accurate medical drama ever!
Facts!!
At least until the later seasons when helicopters kept falling on surgeons.
I would love to see The Knick, it's supposed to be insanely accurate
JuiceHead JUICE DADDY
its historically accurate
JuiceHead YES! I've putting this comment on every video. I'm glad yours actually got some attention. there are a lot of non-medical scenes, but the ones that are so interesting. it's also an amazing show in general.
i'm mad it got cancelled! it was such a good show!
@@NotSandraBullock I don't think it was cancelled the creator of the show said, he wanted the show to be a two season arc.
I love ER. I watched it when I was a kid through my teens and early 20s. I grew up with that show (my mom was a fan so I watched it with her. I know, not kid friendly material but I absolutely loved the show and followed all the storylines). The technical wizardy on display on that show is amazing even today. No one dares to do the walk and talks the show made famous. No one will even attempt to film the insanely long shots they were famous for. And they did it every single week with medical jargon tossed around and so many FX in the scene. Impressive storylines and character development. It was provocative and touched very sensitive subjects. They had a gay character in the 90s that wasn't a caricature. The action was unbelievable and it was gory. They even had a live show for crying out loud. Live for both coasts, they did it twice. Each episode cost 13 million dollars. It still holds that record for most expensive show ever adjusted for inflation. Groundbreaking and heartbreaking. A masterpiece
My favorite comment
@@magickaldust1213 the show was a part of me growing up. I need to show some love
@Salvador Morales Oh my goodness! Same here! My mom is a nurse, so I grew up with this show as well! The nostalgia just from the intro music was crazy!
@@daniellesheets9706 I love the show. Still groundbreaking
Salvador Morales Agreed!
When it came to the shaken baby syndrome and hearing the baby have that curdling screaming, I felt so moved. I don’t know anyone that it happened to. And my own son used to have strong crying in the afternoons in the first year. It was emotionally stressful but child abuse is never an option. My heart goes out for all those victims that was completely helpless to this. I’m so happy to be able to kiss my healthy son and get a hug from him every day today at 2 1/2 years old now.
When you said that a primary factor in staying healthy is to know what goes into your body, I was eating a chocolate mousse cake. I can happily report, that I know exactly what that is - so thanks for the good advice, and for keeping me healthy!
I don't usually comment on videos but I have watched many of these videos, which I think are great btw, I have to say as a nurse I appreciate how often you mention nurses and the work we do and the challenges we and physicians face. I personally have dealt with a patient getting violent with me once and it is terrifying so I like that you mention that it can create burnout. While I never take it personally, it is something to be thought about.
On a side note, you should totally do an episode of Nurse Jackie- just for the nurses out there!!!
Would love to see a look at Nurse Jackie too! Thanks for your hard work, Julie!
The area I live in Norway the nurses have to deal with patients most often dropped off by police who are going to psyc but won’t be let in before they’re detoxed so they’re dumped in the wards for the nurses to manage, they often get violent, they try stealing just about anything and that makes them very hard to handle and stretches the nurse staff very thin. One patient had to be locked in a bathroom with the soap dispenser removed (since the handwash is alcohol based he would drink it) because he was a danger to everyone including himself. How they manage to be so incredibly warm and sweet despite that is beyond me, they’re pretty amazing people who deserve better and safer work enviorments.
I have worked at a hospital for many years in a non-clinical job, my wife worked for 28 years at the same facility in a clinical position and my daughter-in-law is a physician at Children's Hospital. She can not say enough about the role of nursing in today's healthcare - she has great love and the utmost respect for nurses and the profession. As well, my wife and I share that view. Doctors and Surgeons are obviously the heart of medicine but the Nurses are the soul. Without them, there is no foundation for patient care to stand on. Thank you for the difficult and good work you do each and every day.
"She could even have a cyst on her ovary"
As someone who has polycystic ovary syndrome, that was exactly what I was thinking when you paused to point out how absurd it was that they immediately diagnosed that girl with an ectopic pregnancy. It even works with her not having had a period recently; irregular and/or infrequent menstrual cycles are one of the most notable symptoms. They definitely should have asked whether she has a history of irregular menstruation before jumping to the conclusion that it was any kind of pregnancy.
And the lack of regular periods may not be connected to the lower abdominal pain. They could have entirely separate causes.
All true, however in the manner the symptoms occuring I would initially go with an ectopic pregnancy until proven otherwise. Why? Ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency while the other diagnoses aren't.
@@absolut_dre you can suspect ectopic and do further testing to confirm without jumping to that diagnosis.
Omg I just realised she said it was a few months ago (her period).. an ectopic can kill you by 6-8 weeks, it doesn't take that long to have bleeding and pain. He also never confirmed a pregnancy!? Madness!!
I feel for you, darlin. I have the same thing and those cysts can be soooooooo painful..... the irregular periods, etc.
This show is the absolute best! You really should review more episodes. Carter's growth is wonderful to watch!
14:24 I recently got certified in Early Childhood Development(I can work in a preschool) the child abuse course was the hardest to take. Shaken Baby Syndrome was one of two things that gave me nightmares when I was taking the classes.
My grandma was a nurse, and she actually helped write an article in the newspaper about the dangers of shaken baby syndrome. Look up Fritz and Shaken Baby Syndrome, if you're interested in reading it.
ER was created and executive produced by Michael Crichton. He went to med school but never practiced medicine. So he had some degree of background and understanding. He also paired with Steven Spielberg to help develop the TV storytelling side of ER.
Destiny McKeever never practiced medicine? Yes he did.... I read his book called "five patients" that he wrote after finishing residency
I meant in that he never gained his license following his clinical rotations at Mass General... Five Patients is based on his observations during that rotation... Mass General is basically why he stopped pursuing medicine after graduation to mainly focus on writing...
I didn't mean to down play his academic knowledge at all... it was a great contributor to his fiction... he also attended the Salk Institute which focuses greatly on DNA and biology...
I work in teens Behavioral Health, and the burn out from being struck by patients is one of the most dangerous things I deal with every night on a nightly basis
that must suck real bad
I don't think physical violence should be tolerated. Your workplace needs to take steps to protect you.
Sam
It’s in the name. Teens with behavioral problems.
I’m an Elementary school teacher and I feel your pain. They hit kick punch and you can’t really do anything.
aw man, ER was an institution in my family in the early 2000s. every Thursday night we'd sit down at 9:00PM (Midwest, so central time) and watch it together. that show taught me so much, most of it not even about medicine -- although it's probably a huge factor in why I got so interested in medicine. ER was the first time I saw gay people depicted as actual people, not just caricatures or cautionary tales, and they were in the cast too! I was too young to notice when Ellen came out so Dr. Kerry Weaver was probably the first time I saw someone like me on TV.
My mom was a registered nurse for decades with the Mayo Clinic and she loved this show. I remember her watching it a lot and occasionally chiming in when things were ever inaccurate, but she loved it and watched it to the end.
Now that I am an ER doctor myself, I should go back and rewatch it... I remember watching these when I was a child and thinking to myself, what a miserable job 😂😂😂
I suspect your current thoughts still may not be tooooo different :) jk jk
@@DoctorMike thanks for the reply... you are right for sure... all the miseries are there... but, God damm it, it's not the wild wild west and I'm not the sheriff with my pistols drawn, entring the saloon while an awesome song is playing in the background( which is how I though being the ER doctor was like while I was an ER intern)... My life is a lie 😂😂
Eliana Noei got any tips for anyone looking into being an er doc?
@@user-oi5cn8jz3j I would suggest shadowing one for a couple of days at least... ( in my experience, ER internship is not even in the same realm 😂😂 )... I hope I answered your question...
I think working in the ER or being a paramedic is the best job in the hospital, so much adrenaline!
Dr. Mike, you're so wholesome, it's both adorable and refreshing! I think you're a good role model.
THIS DESERVES MORE LIKES! Oh, sorry, for the caps. lol
I totally agree
Who else watches with no intention of going into the medical field
ER fueled my desire to enter healthcare😂

i can too, probably because he’s doing it right in front of us
I do this whenever any movie has any medical stuff that I’ve learned about either from ER or any of the Dr videos I watch on RUclips. I am not a medical professional so it drives my partner crazy 🤣

Dr. Mike really does look good in anything.
Yes, yes I did.
A huge peeve of mine. “Congrats! You’ve delivered a 2 month old!!!!”
I've seen shows where the "newborn baby" is at least six months old, as if a female suddenly gave birth to an 18lbs baby... lol
Gypsy Dust i have a really hard time with that too. I tend to pick shows apart. I had a boyfriend once who kept telling me that I had to learn to suspend belief, if I wanted to enjoy watching TV and movies. But is so hard!
It's because of the labor laws regarding babies.
Kaykay10397 yes, and it would be more disturbing to actually see a newborn.
I can just imagine Hollywood producers mining the ERs for newborns and petitioning the parents to use them in their productions, were those rules not in place.
You also need to remember that the pilot of ER was filmed in 1994. Also a lot of the first storylines were based on Crichton's experience from the late 70s.
oh goodness! i remember watching ER with my mom when i was little, lol. it’s so cool to hear a doctor’s perspective on how accurate it is!
This is the first T.V. show I've seen where they defibrillated a rhythm that is actually shockable and is not asystole. I was pleasantly surprised!
Michael Crichton the creator was an ER Doctor before he became a world wide best selling author. Its based on his experiences apparently and was originally meant to be a film that Spielberg persuaded him to make into a tv show.
@@SuperOwen1982 Huh!! I did not know That, must be pretty consistently accurate throughout the series. Perhaps I need to watch it now!!
@@daniellemills9874 soooo worth the watch! I might go back and binge it myself again:)
@@daniellemills9874 should I remember that he also wrote Jurassic Park? 😂 He really is one of a kind, you should read his ER stories because his writing style is... unique! Very immersive, 10/10 I always recommend him
You should definitely react to BBC's Casualty - my mum's a nurse and I know that even though she loves the show, she still enjoys yelling when they do something wrong

@@AHealthyDoseofFran there are lots on yt, but ik what you mean 💫
MacKenzie uh yeah I am - why?
I watched all 15 seasons of ER when I was in high school, currently in college, and it really cemented for me that I needed to major in tv production. It really is amazing television, ahead of its time.
I'd love to see more reaction videos of ER. I'll never forget one episode where a very young brother and sister (both approx. 8 and 6ish respectively) and their parents were brought into the hospital from a car accident. Both the mother and father died from their injuries and the hospital staff had to figure out how to tell the kids their parents died. My GOD that was gut wrenching to watch 😥
I remember that one too. The little girl had on a dressy coat. I remember it well. I cried! I also remember the once where a developmentally disabled girl and her brother are in a car accident and the brother dies. I cried when they tried to tell her and she did not understand!!
I feel old now
“I was 4 when this show first aired”
Man I was in late high school then.
But w00t!! FINALLY you got to doing ER!
Lol I wasn't even born yet haha
How old is he now? 29/28?
I didn't exist lmao
What year did ER start airing? I didn't get into watching it, so I have no clue. lol I know Dr. Mike said 90's, but don't know the specific year. I was born in 95. lol
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker 1994, so I was three years old. 😅
I watched all 15 seasons of this show and it was iconic. Not accurate but absolutely iconic 😂

Loved this show too and suffered through the post-Dr. Green seasons but I’m glad I saw every episode. Kind of miss the show.
Just today finished watching all 15 seasons during lockdown. It's been a wild ride and now I want to binge every deep dive analysis video out there
Annie Streater I’d love to see more reactions to ER. it’s hands down my favorite medical show.
I am absolutely loving your videos! You are very well spoken and yet easy to understand. I was am EMT years ago, so i have forgot a lot of it, but when you explain certain things it brings back some of my training (Nostalgic) :) you are the Man DM!!
Dear Dr. Mike, I love what your doing. Your not only a doctor but a teacher. I think that it is so important that just about everybody know a little about everything when it comes to health and the body. Like what they teach you preparing you to be a doctor or a nurse. You encourage others to learn and to keep researching on their own. Be their own detective in medicine and health and understanding the human body and mind and I think that's so great. You do me proud Mike. I'm sure the rest of the world feels the same.
P.S. This obviously had nothing to do with the video above. I just clicked on a random video to post what I had to say.
Wow this channel is growing so fast i was sub number 725th k a few months ago now he is already past 2 million. Subs congrats Dr. Mike!
cos hes hot
Aaron Tveit
My point ;)
Flynn Livescmd he needs to support the channel somehow...
Aaron Tveit I love that actor
@Arya Patel who be smart
My friend's husband has PTSD from a vicious assault when he worked as an EMT. It's scary when patients attack :(
That's awful. I can’t believe people are allowed to treat doctors, nurses, and EMTs like that.
Thanks for the great insight you provide on medical issues. Love your videos.
You remind me Dr. Carter from this show when Noah Wyle was younger! This was my favorite show growing up!
(Edit: I posted this before I saw you mention it lol sorry!)
Mike: no doctor could look at an X-ray and guess how long a patient has.
Me: unless your Doctor Shaun Murphy

Dr. Mike, I'm a fellow family medicine doctor, transitioning from outpatient practice to a hospitalist in a couple of weeks. When I was coming through residency, our hour restrictions were no more than 30 hours in a shift. I remember going in at 6am and getting off at noon the next day, and early on we did this q3d. What I love about this episode is that ER made me want to be a physician, and what I have a hard time with most shows are the inaccuracies, lol. Thanks for doing this episode. Brought back memories for me!
I just love how you talk about things. Even when youre talking about people picking on you, youre positive and optimistic like you dont let it bother you but also respond in a kind and level headed manner, so sincerely not even caring or even identifying when ppl are jerks (not in a naive way, just in a so-full-of-kindness way). It's just so very hopeful and sweet
I’ve just found your channel and absolutely love ER. Pls more videos of this show.
I could watch Dr. Mike do tv drama reaction videos all day.
Me too Im hooked
I have worked in retail pharmacy for 4 years, and healthcare worker abuse is so true. I've been in situations where our pharmacist have been threatened, cursed at, and had stuff thrown at her. It is terrible.
I'm a Therapist, and yes, it happens all the time. Im also kind of a "sponge" so it takes an effort to not let myself get too emotionally involved, although sometimes it's almost impossible. We are all human.
6:05 Carter! If you’ve watched a lot of ER like I have you’d know that Carter becomes important in the future episodes pretty much becoming the main character.
Stumbled upon this video watching your newer reviews and now I dug out my er dvds and rewatching from episode 1!! I was so young when it came out completely different watching now at 36..
That Ectopic Pregnancy bit reminds me of when you google why you have a headache and WebMD makes a crazy diagnosis that you’re dying within the next hour🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Dr. Mike for reviewing one of my favorite shows “from back in the day “👍🏾😀🇺🇸! The reason I asked you to review it is because “ER” was a one of the hottest medical dramas for so long.
This was my favourite show after friends (Yeah, that’s how much I love this show) was hoping to see you reviewing it, actually have requested on comments before without knowing already happened! Still binge watching some of the videos of your channel that I miss! Best time ever
Thanks for the very informative comments you made in every single one of your videos, Dr. Mike
Love the face swap at the end of the video 😂 But FINALLY ER!! Been waiting for this one. Should definitely keep this series going and watch episodes in later seasons to see how they progress! Love it!
There’s a British show called “call the midwife” set in the Victorian times (early 1900s) and I’d love to see your reaction to it, and how the medical skills and knowledge compare to present day❤️😀
pineapples_never_lie _ yes, please. It’s so well done. I worked as a medical tech in the military on an OB ward and I have to say this tv show is so well done. It’s really something to see such young girls out doing home deliveries. So confident just like I was in my early 20s, afraid of nothing until life teaches you there are things to fear.
I love that show
Horrible show
Yes please watch Call the Midwife awesome show so good.
OMG yaassss!! I love Call the Midwife so much! (It's actually set just after the second World War but honest mistake, especially if you were thinking of Downton Abbey at the same time) :)
I still can't believe how some parents can abuse their children especially when they're still so young and fragile. No matter how hard, annoying or tiring it might be, I could not imagine how it would be even considered. This is truly heartbreaking and I wish that none of your children or future children (friends and family in general) would have such traumatizing experience in both physical and mental way.
All you need is love, guys. Truly.

How to calm a crying baby: Dr. Robert Hamilton demonstrates "The Hold"
I was ***shocked**** Dr. Mike did not mention this simple technique.
It's not an actual thought process, I studied psychology for quite a while and when abuse like this happens it isn't a thought. It is merely a reaction to being so stressed that you can't think. Not giving excuses, just explaining what I was taught. Rationality is gone at that point and reaction takes over. Someone here said that the best advice they got was to check out the baby then put them in the crib and walk away to gather yourself. I was told the same thing, make sure that they don't need a diaper change, they aren't hungry she r anything else, put them in the crib and go collect yourself. It is best for the baby and for you. Believe me I have had to use that method when my kids were little a lot, because I did all of it by myself. My husband at the time refused to do anything to help me or the kids which made it harder for me to get any time for myself and destress. But I did it and all 3 of my babies are now in their 30's and doing well.
I’m a nursing student in med surg and this was really helpful! Fun way to cover topics we covered in class and make them stick more in memory! Thanks!
Completely unrelated, but that is an amazing tie.
I like it too
You do look a lot like Noah Wyle. Also, thank you for putting the word out there about abuse against Healthcare providers and Suicide. Dr. Pamela Wible is doing a lot of work to educate about Physician Suicide.
He does not. Too chubby. Not that he's actually chubby, just too chubby to be compared.
@@chickenlover657 he does too.
@@chickenlover657 you mean muscular, not chubby
@@nickpassion123 No, I mean what I said. Or I would have said something else.
@@chickenlover657 well he's not chubby
Woow!! I found yo channel three days ago and yes, I have binged watched your reviews. It was fun watching the ER growing up in Kenya... Lots of love from Nairobi, Kenya.
I would really like more of this! I love ER, I’m frustrated that it doesn’t exist a medical show as good as this one. More please! More!
My mom is gonna lose her mind! I’ve shown her your reactions series a few times and she’s keeps saying “he needs to watch ER.” That’s her fav! Gonna watch with her right now! 😊
Not a question, but a comment. Thank you for doing what you do. I was always terrified of doctors, but because of your videos, my fear of them decreased enough for me to actually go at almost 30 to my first ever check up since I was a child and i'm now on my way to living a healthier life! Keep doing what you do!
Can I ask why exactly you had a phobia of them in the first place? No need to answer btw :-]
I've always been big since I can remember. Not "plus size", but morbidly obese. There were never doctors that really talked to me as a person (I've even had a doctor dismiss my symptoms when I had the flu to talk about weight loss surgery when I was in college), and rather than keeping on pushing through and finding a doctor to work with, I went the opposite direction. The idea of going to the doctor sent me into a whirlwind of anxiety bordering on panic that even when I was sick, I would wait until I felt like I was dying before I grudgingly went. Hearing dr Mike talk about things in a way that is easy to follow and not intimidating through the safety of a computer video that I could stop at any time slowly helped me overcome my fear. Now i'm working with a great doctor who is helping me stay on a wellness plan that is right for me, and I have never in my life felt so good.
(Sorry my story was so long...)
Some doctors are very judgemental lol... when I was younger I was barely 30 pounds over healthy and everything that would happen to me would be because of my weight. Before I was diagnosed, my appendicitis and gallstones were "just a product of my weight." I'm happy that you're turning a new, healthy leaf now, though! :D
Not trying to be mean or anything, but they were doing their job (if they were rude about then maybe not) but obesity is the number one in killing that is preventable, it kills many many people and shouldn’t be something that is overlooked or not mentioned.
@@boy_2478 I absolutely agree my weight should have been addressed and that being 350lbs is very dangerous. What I don't agree with was the doctors ONLY focusing on my weight. In my example in my last comment, I didn't just have flu like symptoms. I had the flu. And he didn't even want to test for it because he was so focused on weight loss surgery. When you're overweight, it can feel like you're never allowed to be sick with anything not related to your weight.
I just realized why my neurologist seemed so concerned about my reflexes. I didn't realize that when you get foot poked you're supposed to reacted that way, haha, my feet pull up.
These are great! You seem genuinely invested in educating people, and you also also obviously care about your patients! Gud4U!!!! Great segments!!
It was a little eerie watching the scene with the cancer diagnosis knowing that the actor who played the patient, Miguel Ferrer, really did die of cancer last year.
Dani S Did he really?
Yeah I loved him on crossing Jordan. Another medical show of sorts. I was so sad he passed
He was George Clooney's cousin.
I was thinking the same thing
Dani S Even more eerie was the fact that he died of throat cancer from being a long-standing chain smoker, and this character on ER had lung CA from smoking.
I lost my mother in 2015. She had been a cancer patient my whole entire life and in fact I became her only caregiver at age 5. She died in a hospital. The ten days we were there, I got a touch aggressive verbally when I felt they were taking too long with things and a nurse said to me "You know I have other patients" which earned an aggressive "How many are going to die this week?" After my mom passed I went home and cooled down. She died at the end of October. Around Christmas of that yesterday I brought them a Keurig machine (they were living off of instant garbage and the whole time my mom was there they were bringing her what they had which was better than the hospital coffee and still garbage lol) because honestly... As stressed and angry as I was I know they have it so much harder. Like you said, I lost one mom. They lose people all the time and they were so gentle and loving with our family. Even now I still get grief items in the mail from the hospital. I am so grateful to the amazing staff of Massachusetts General Hospital Oncology. As upset as I was, they were so patient and so good to my mom. People don't think about what doctors and other medical staff need to go through. No they're not losing their own family but working in a profession where you lose people regularly? It takes a toll on the heart. I am so, SO grateful to all that you do. For every patient and family too stuck in their own situations to say so, thank you. So much.
Yay, my favourite medical show!
Also, if you considering doing another video like this, I recommend you do one of the episode of ER when Carter has his first surgery experience. I bet it was pretty accurate!
Dr.Mike the positive thoughts with the explaination. Wonderful, new medical terms are taught too.lovely and accurate.super Hero!!
After working in the ER, ER is my favorite medical show. Especially love the dramatic representation of 90s medicine progression
ER is one of my favorite series. I’ve been rewatching it lately.
It was sad to see what happened to Vanessa Marquez who was a former nurse on ER. It’s a shame she wasn’t able to find help when she needed it.
I had no idea about this. Just looked it up. I'm a big ER fan and it's sad to hear. Seems like there are more and more mental health issues....a problem that doesn't distinguish age, race sex, financial and media status etc. Definitley needs to be more research on this growing problem.
I’m a retired pediatric ICU nurse. In the late 1970’s early ‘80’s the peds residents started most of the IV’s. My clinical nurse specialist taught me to place IV’s and I eventually learned to place PICCs. Where I’ve worked on the west coast IV’s are mostly places by nurses
Love this video! Could you please make another video on ER?
I recently binge watched ER and loved it. It will always be my favorite. It actually helped me save my husbands life, because I knew how to help him before the ambulance came. Please watch Season 6 episodes 13-14 and review them next please? I'd like to see your take on the situation with Carter and Lucy. Thanks! 😁
Heather Farley-Marshall amazing episode those.
OMG, those eps are super hard to watch. The violence of it is still shocking and horrible to me, and I had trouble watching it again even years later.
I still weep watching those episodes!
If you like ER, you should watch Saving Hope
I'm sorry but I LOVE ER but Saving Hope isn't Half as Good as ER was,I LOVED Saving Hope at 1st but then something changed probably the Bitch that cheated on her Coma Fiance and it was turning to look out the little boy wasn't going to be Charlie's I STOPPED watching it....I LOVED Charlie on that Show forget his real name I believe the same guy that played on Stargate Sg1 tho but that SOB that also worked in the Hospital Darked haired also wanted the woman and he got a piece of her or so to say before he died on the show lol
yay finally!!! ER is my fave bc even after 20 yrs later much of the authenticity of the show still holds true in terms of medical practice and nursing practice (which is why I love how they show how badass nurses are too! 😉)
ER is my favorite medical show of all time it was such a jump from a show that you may remember called st. Elsewhere if you're that old LOL oops just saw your picture I don't think you're that old but st. Elsewhere was television first modern medical series for the Modern Age the 1980s
My fav show. Thanks for doing this. You so are RL Dr carter.
I'm actually binge watching ER right now! Always has been my favorite. And yes, you do remind me of Dr. Carter. :)
I love ER, it's that one show I go back to every now and then, and just binge watch it! I've loved it since I was a kid too!
Please do Nurse Jackie!!! Not 100% a doctor show but still in the hospital involving many physicians!!
Nurse Jackie was a great show. I agree. I'd like to see Dr. Mike discuss addiction with healthcare workers.
I agree with you. This is a good show.
Besides nurses deserve spotlight to!
Awesome suggestion
Yesssss
One problem with Nurse Jackie is the portrayal of pharmacy. A dispensing robot would NOT replace a pharmacist. There are hospitals that have those types of robots already to cut down on manual labor and the pharmacist and pharmacy techs still have plenty to do. Also, a pharmacy must keep track of what drugs come in and out of the pharmacy. What Nurse Jackie portrays the pharmacist doing in the show is highly illegal and would result in the pharmacist losing their license if caught .

I would absolutely love for you to do more reviews of ER!!!
Dr Mike feeling attacked about his white coat and relating to Dr Carter is fantastic 😂
I'm a certified nursing assistant and I do private duty through an agency and I deal with individuals mostly with Alzheimer's and Dementia and they can get very violent at times because they have no idea what's going on. I've been kicked, punch, pushed, spot on, and bitten by clients.
Working in the healthcare field you can get a little bit roughed up
Dr. Mike's face during watching the episode is sooo innocent 😍
ER is my favorite show! I, as an RN (in OR) still enjoy this show. Now I am also a clinical instructor for student nurses, I would like to show some of your videos fun education activity!! (your comments for the video is very informative). Thank you, Dr Mike!
FINALLY!!!!!!! we've only been asking for you to react to e.r. since like what March?
🤣🤣🤣😂
the word you were looking for is thanks :")
I watched ER as a kid too. Great commentary. Thanks. I’d like to see a video where you react to a montage of different tracheotomy scenes in movies and tv. Like ER: there’s an episode where George Clooney does a tracheotomy in the rain with a Bic pen. There’s another one in The Heat and Sandra Bullock’s character does one in a dinner because someone is chocking. The list goes on... I always find it hilarious.
Always good to see a fellow fan of The Heat. I absolutely love that movie! I watched it sooo many times in a row (something I do with very few movies-I normally only rewatch a movie once every few years, if at all)-several years ago-that I won't be able to get much out of watching it for probably quite awhile longer. I'm sure I'd still enjoy it if I watched it now, but the effect of the humor would likely be dulled. That's how much I like it-I absolutely wore it out.
That's the first episode I remember ever seeing. It's stayed with me since then, and actually got me hooked on the series!
Courtney Vial isn’t it funny how stuff like that sticks with us!
Love the videos Doctor Mike.
Best explanation of DKA I've ever heard
how did i not know you had reacted to ER until now? it's my all-time fave. i know it's been two years but you should totally react to season 4 episode 15, it's the 3rd highest ranked episode but i think it's the best
I’ve been waiting for ER since you started this series 😭
