- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- An infection has broken out on a plane and House MD has found himself stranded! No lab, no x-rays, it’s time to get creative! If that wasn’t enough, we get a second case back home all in the same episode! Double the diagnostics, double the chaos, double the fun.
In this episode House MD Season 3 Episode 18, I discuss:
Incubation periods of infectious diseases
Bacterial meningitis
Conversion disorder
Toxoplasmosis
Syncope vs. Seizure
Fever in returning traveller
Mid-life crisis
Cognitive priming
Why most published findings are false
Bias in research
Doctors Tasting Urine

If you thought this episode was good then check out one that's absolutely crazy where House pulls out a 25ft tapeworm from his patient. Click here: ruclips.net/video/K_KBGCC5Whs/видео.html
“definitely not the kind of drilling she was expecting” 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 Glad you found it entertaining and thanks for your comment! Hope to see you around the channel again
I know this is old, but this is the comment that got me to subscribe. =}
@@DrSermedMezherso British I love it 😂 this is slowly becoming my fav channel because of it. I’m a healthcare professional too and the relatability is extra fun
I love how you pointed out that Chase was right and he usually is right. That notion is paid off in the end of the show ^_^
People always said that Foreman was created to be "House Jr". Foreman is brilliant but he's more like Cuddy with a sprinkle of House. Foreman can and is very able to think outside the box but he'll demand you show your work. No pulling diagnoses out of your butt around him. But he will take chances.
Chase is def the "House Jr" of the show lol.
Now that you mention it, that does make total sense! Can't wait to see how it all ends
I worked as a secretary in a hospital lab for 10 years, and ever so often the microbiologists made us smell different bacteria (for funsies, you didn't have to if you didn't want to. I always wanted to). Unfortunately I don't remember how any of them smelled now. Or which ones I got to smell. But it was fun! And really cool.
"That's not the kind of drilling she was expecting". Earned you a like! :D
Haha Craig glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving a comment and look forward to seeing you here again. Got plenty more jokes hidden in future reactions!
We don't know how long these people currently on the plane were congregating in the terminal together before the flight. Also, some flights do last nearly a day. Of course, it turned out to not be meningitis. I do believe House has to deal with a a genuine meningitis panic in the episode Kids.
It was just after the episode where they got rid of a very generous donor because he was a power hungry asshole that just wanted to use the hospital to push trials of his company's drugs, so they were extremely short staffed, overwhelmed and anyone with pulse in possession of anything resembling a medical degree had to pitch in with the massive crowds flooding every hospital in the area. I wonder if you'll figure out what's wrong with the PotW before House does.
Hi Kitty,
Thank you for that extra context and very valid points. Really interested to get to that point in the series after going in order so I can understand all the context! It is such an intricate series with so much hidden gold. Great to see another comment from you!
The help you provided on that aeroplane among others is reassurance. Your voice, surely, has a reassuring quality. I had a discussion with my Spanish instructor Jose in Guatemala a few years ago. Jose was telling me that he was late for my class because his Father-In-Law fell in the street (drunk), had deep abrasions, and Jose brought the drunk man to a private hospital, as public ones are too underfunded to be good. José was saying that the physician did nothing but clean the wounds and apply plasters, yet charged a lot. I told Jose that what he paid for was reassurance that everything would be alright.
Actually you can get a rash from psychosomatic illness.
There are reports during WW2 of Soviet officers during the battle of Stalingrad who had nervous breakdowns and broke out in hives so severe they required hospitalization.
"are you handicap accessible?" okay I agree with Doc Sermed here, that was so smooth
Also that ending diagnosis with the recommendation was so sweet and funny I loved it ❤️
"thats definitely not the kind of drilling she was expecting" thats gold doc!!
Hi Ice!
Haha glad you liked it and thanks a lot for the comment. Look forward to seeing you again on future videos :)
I love this episode, the two-part episodes may have higher rate on IMDB, but the pacing of this episode is awesome and I never get bored :D
I actually have two episodes in my life that relates to this, the first one was in school, I think in 2009, when the news reported H1N1 like crazy over here (with only a few cases), but it was enough for the kids in my school started to have "fake symptoms", and that was a high chaos over here., that lasted for a whole month without classes.
And I had decompression disease, it wasn't severe, but it was enough to make my bones hurt, my city is way below the sea level, so it's common for us to have pain in ear bones when we go higher (a plane or even a couple of mountains over here with really high altitudes, to the point the water works differently over there, different atm and all)
About the other patient, my favorite quote of this episode is "sorry about your cat, and your hair", but jokes aside, Methyl Bromide poisoning is super rare based on my research, but to be fair, this episode was done in 2007, so it's possible compared to nowadays.
Hi Joseph!
Thanks for the recommendation of this episode and sharing the stories from the H1N1 outbreak years!
We can all relate to the pandemic that just happened as well and how all of a sudden we might have started feeling like coughing but wanting to suppress it so nobody sees and thinks we're infected! Thankfully that is slowly going away now the hysteria if done with.
Very interesting to hear about your city being below sea level. I still find it so interesting that a town can be below sea level without being submerged but thanks to the mountains on the sides, it stays dry! The world is crazy.
Re the quote: haha yeah that was VERY funny. I loved her arc, it added some light relief during a lot of it. That's part of what I love about House - the way it mixes the serious and academic with good humour. Brilliant series! Looking forward to making more reactions
I have watched almost 50% of your videos in the last week. I love them, so it baffles me that you have so few subscribers! Keep it up "lord" Mezher!
Hi Dustin,
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment that here! It's a pleasure to make these videos and whether I have 1k subs or 1M subs I'll still be here making videos. Thank you for being here and hope you're here for the journey.
Sermed
I laugh when you say we generally want the brain to stay in the head. Mines been escaping for years and we even have a titanium mesh fence to try and stop it. MRI on my profile picture of my first ever MRI done to show me nothing was wrong - boy were the doctors shocked.
lol Love these reactions, you're definitely a great doctor! But Dr Mezher, where's your white board? We want to see your differential diagnosis on the board! :)
A white board would def elevate this, put the Dr handwriting on display 😂
Haha are you will be able to see it but not read it. My writing is atrocious.
My primary school teacher said it was like "a spider danced in ink and ran across your page". Lol. Great to hear from you and thanks for the comment!
Truly appreciate you!
That is so kind Caleb, I truly appreciate your comment! Great to see you here again
Know I’m late to the party lol. But I work on planes as my office! We have UKM universal precaution kits (gowns, masks, hair nets, etc) in case we have to deliver a baby. We’re also trained in isolating suspected infectious diseases. There’s a whole medical kit that can also only be used by doctors. And we have sat phones and a huge medical hub we use for advice mid-air.
Another great one. I don't agree that it's one of the best, but to each their own.
Actually off today so I get to be here early. Hope all is well. Your editor is doing well. As always, appreciate the reactions from both of you.
Hi apatternedhorizon,
Great to hear from you and was great to see you here early! Was really busy yesterday learning how to change nappies in antenatal classes but spotted your comment while I was there.
Glad you're still enjoying the content and if anything is off then please let me know as that helps me improve things for the future! I think my editor is doing great too - I've put him under a lot of pressure haha but seems like we have a good system going now so hopefully no more delays. Definitely keen to try and keep the 2x week schedule!
i wish i could find my old phone bc i kept track of the times i solved cases before house/in general.. less than 5 in all 8 seasons but oh well
Oooooof now I have a benchmark I need to try and beat! I haven't had a really satisfying one I've got before him yet. It's usually been either just before him or i've gotten the category but not the exact condition. Hopefully I'll crack it one day!
answering the engagement bait question - surely there are no sterile bodily fluids..?
"not the kind of drilling she was expecting" ... *subscribes*
Haha glad to hear you appreciated the humour Andy. Great to have you around and plenty more jokes hidden in other vids! Look forward to seeing you around here again
"definitely not the kind of drilling she was expecting" 😂
I'm honestly surprised the last episode of season 5 or the first episode of the 6th season isn't considered the best
I'm constantly amazed by how often people think sex workers must have an STI - how do you think they do their business? if they get an STI they are out of business, sex workers are therefore SO careful about STIs.
One more great vid
keep up the hard work
😇
edit: pleural fluid or brain fluid (between brain and skull i guess) could be sterile body fluid or am I wrong ?
You are absolutely right!! Good work.
There are a few others though. One I can think of is a fluid in joints - do you know what it's called?
@@DrSermedMezher Synovial fluid ?
🤨
@@mediatedmite2629 *Ding ding ding* we have a winner! That's right.
You're 2 for 2 now with the animals beginning with B! You won that by the way. Excellent work
I was in this episode.
When House went back to economy to get Cuddy, I am the guy in the Green Jacket and blue shirt seated next to Cuddy.
@@beowulfthedane Very cool! Love this show. Nice to meet someone online who was in it! :)
Honestly from my perspective, you were exactly what that family you helped on the plane needed-- a self-terminating seizure is worrying but not an acute medical emergency, they needed someone trained enough to be there and know what symptoms or signs would indicate that it's an emergency and a threat to life, and you could provide that comfort to them. At least around where I live if they'd have gone into the emergency room they might have run a few tests and possibly written a script for a first-resort antiepileptic but most likely any real treatment would have been per primary with referrals.
Did you know 3 out of 2 people are bad at fractions
Couldn’t resist the joke when you made the stats joke
Grief does not have nice clean stages. The stages are for when a person is dying.
ok. I gotta get you to put a medical tag on your statistics statement. In baseball, if a player's average is .267, he really is hitting the ball safely for 26.7% of the time. That is not wrong nor a lie. lol
The Airline they're in... I can't help but shake my head, every time I saw the logo; Glad they didn't mention Nasi Lemak!
Hi Muhammad!
What airline are they on? I may have missed this detail! Glad to see you on the channel again
@@DrSermedMezher The airline is a joke. The logo, uniform and how they interact with the passenger is an anachronism between Malaysia, Singapore and Japanese airlines.
The name maybe Malaysian Airlines, but if you want to find a similar service today, I'd say it's Air Asia.
If it wasn't for your video, I would have not seen the episode... They made this waaay before MH 370, so it might be sensitive for some viewer.
Thanks for the replies!
What I "love" and have found very common is a research paper saying one thing but the summary of the paper (by the researchers) says the total opposite. It (the summary) is always in favor of the researchers bias especially if in favor of the current generally accepted narrative on the subject.
Imagine being a doctor in the 17th/18th century and as part of your training you have to do urine tasting lessons...
Haha if we think there's a shortage of doctors now, imagine how it would be if we added that to the job description!!
Great to hear from you Janister and hope you're well
Great comments and reaction as always. These two were nearly impossible to guess ahead of time with the information given, imo.
Accuracy question: at 18:31, Cameron says they should do an LP to check for the presence of RBC to confirm a brain bleed. However, aren't RBC also present a statistically significant amount of the time due to a traumatic tap, making that a really iffy "confirmation"? Or is such a result easy to distinguish from a brain bleed with modern tech?
Thank you for the comment and such an excellent question. She is accurate in saying that we can determine if there’s been a brain bleed based on the lumbar puncture. We do that by assessing for the presence of something called xanthrochromia. That is when old blood is present and has been catabolised, it gives the CSF a yellow colour which can be picked up by analysis very accurately using a spectrometer.
Great to see you here again!
Your wallet story reminds me of a bit from Tom Segura about finding a lost wallet. Should definitely check it out if you haven't seen it before.
Drill into her brain to relieve pressure? Doctor McCoy would be _outraged_ (and then give her a pill to grow back her kidney...)
does the glass thing work on people with a lot of melanin?
Hi So Apropro,
Excellent question! It does work but since the rash is much more subtle then it's advised to use it on areas with less pigmentation like the palms of the hands or soles of the feet to test.
Hope that helps!
urine is sterile, i know that one lol.
Hi there Sermed! I just wanted to say a constructive criticism, not trying to be rude at all. Your camera is really high quality but the sound is very echo-y. Sure, fixing the acoustics of the room would always be best but that'd be expensive and time consuming. I'm sure maybe a better microphone, or changing the settings on your current one may improve it. This would improve the production value tons. Btw I love how you educate us on stuff like cognitive priming mid video. I'm not a med student but may study it in the future and generally just have a big interest, it's a lot of fun that teach in such a concise way that doesn't feel out of place.
Hi William! Thank you very much for the constructive feedback. It helps me to improve my videos which is very important to try and give my audience as pleasurable of an experience as possible.
The mic I have is quite a good one, Videomic NTG. The acoustics in my room aren’t good. I’m not sure how I can change the mic settings to reduce the echo. Do you have any idea? I’ve already turned down any camera volume so it’s all based on mic gain. Maybe a high pass filter? I’m not sure.
Would appreciate any further advice you have!
Also fixing the acoustics would be difficult as I live in a rented flat at the moment

There is one thing that all of these medical dramas get wrong and that is assess the situation that's the first thing everyone gets told from first responders to nurses and doctors in the real world
I think I remember urine should be sterile, I'd assume pancreas secrete is sterile just because it's so basic, for the rest, I'm not sure enough what "sterile" means. Not contaminated, blood probably should be, because sepsis is... Pretty bad
Urine is not sterile. This is a misunderstanding that arose after WW1 or WW2 (can't remember which) when soldiers were taught they could drink their own urine if desperate for water to keep them alive long enough to reach water. It's a bad idea to drink one's own urine when dehydrated because it has excess salts in it that are expelled, along with toxins the body's trying to flush out, but it can keep a person going temporarily in emergencies. Soldiers were usually supplied with pellets they could put in the urine to sterilize it (kill germs). You're usually already immune to the bacteria / viruses you're flushing out since it's already in your body, but killing them still makes the urine safer to drink. If you don't have the pellets, you can boil the urine first to sterilize it. After whichever war, soldiers went home and told their families, and this idea became a common misconception around the world. Urine is one of the best defenses the body has to remove disease from its system, so it absolutely is not sterile. I don't know about the pancreas stuff you mentioned; I'm not a doctor. I just read a lot. Lol
@@xzonia1 Of course I would expect urine to be slightly poisonous, just not to be that full of living stuff. I didn't know where that tidbit comes from, so thank you for both the correction and the explanation!
@@xyzaxy230 happy to help :)
@xyzaxy230 Urine, just like blood where it comes from, is sterile in a healthy person. By sterile I mean completely free of microbes; that's the definition of the term. There are no 'normal flora' in the urinary bladder. If your urine (or blood) weren't sterile, you could eventually die.
Urine being toxic, on the other hand...
There is too much, way too much you talking and pausing in the reaction, and almost no clips from the actual show, That is why you don't have more views and subscribers.
i disagree, i think him pausing and explaining is a key part of what makes him good to watch, he actually strikes a good balance between having fun with the show and fact-checking it, unlike most docs who watch house online who just hate it the whole time lol. if you just want to watch the show, there's hundreds of clips right here on YT.
@@thekamotodragon He should do it, but he does it too much, or atleast he should show more show. It will help his numbers.
Because it's not one of them cringe reaction videos where they add nothing and just stare at the screen for ages and monetise it.
He actually adds value to the content that isn't found in the content by its own.
