Thanks so much for having me! An absolute blast to chat with you both. 😊

Hello MDJ!

[@maggiekelley259]

You rock! My obgyn loves you. Her focus is improving maternal death rates at the biggest hospital in our state 💜 She is also a derby girl!

[@dorkydoctorsongs]

Looking forward to listening to this on my way tomorrow's birth suite shift!!

[@justwhistlinpixie]

Mama Doctor Jones, I want to say a huge THANK YOU for what you do on KZbin. I had my baby two months ago, and your videos helped me out a lot through my pregnancy and birth.

[@IsyAweigh]

I was an ER nurse. One if our favorite shift supervisors was a guy who was fearless, fit, fierce, fabulous, and fifties. The place ran on rails under his aegies... until a pregnant woman came in. The one time I saw an incipient mom came in, with that characteristic stunned look and the disrupted breathing pattern that let you know Things Were Happening .. this normally unflappable dude came screeching out from the back (how did he know??), took a look, blanched *absolutely white* and barked, "Get me a wheelchair! Right now!" Wound up snatching it from the aide, practically knocking the woman off her feet to get her into it, and *sprinted* down the hall to get her to L&D while she was clutching the arms and trying not to slide out the front. Bless her, she was laughing more than crying. They called us before end of shift to let us know Mom & baby were fine -- and that they were still cracking up over how completely the "big, tough" ER shift boss nearly disintegrated over a healthy delivery. His utterly unashamed response? "Well, yeah, thank God I got her up there in time." Cherry on top: I got to tell him, "I was trained as a lay midwife before I became a nurse. I could have handled that. Easily." He said brusquely, "You're not doing that in *my* ER."

[@daniellebrackett4905]

Her birth story brings up a great point. They don't tell mom what's going on. I know they don't want to stress you out, but part of all the previous appointments should be building a rapport so you can judge when that's helpful and not. I had no idea I had pre-eclampsia with my first until I was having my second and they said I had a history of it!

[@TheRegisteredNerd]

I actually kept trying to get my doc to officially diagnose me because I was gaining tons of weight without other explanation, my legs were super swollen, and I was starting to have trouble breathing. They kept telling me my BP wasn't high enough, which I thought was crap considering my norm is 110/70 and I was just barely under 140/90. They said the insurance didn't call it that until 140/90. . . 😑

[@TheRegisteredNerd]

@@Richdragon4 I contemplate moving daily. The only thing that stops me is my kids and their dads.

[@samusugiru]

I prefer not knowing, the obstetrician I first saw at the hospital told me I had mo/mo twins which is extremely high risk. I later googled mo/mo twin pregnancies and found an academic article with rates of death and was left pretty distraught. I later worked out he wasn’t really in a position to diagnose a mo/mo pregnancy with his equipment in Poland at an early gestation and it was confirmed they were mo/di at a later ultrasound in Belgium but it was pretty awful thinking my twins had a high chance of dying, I would have preferred not knowing.

Australian here. I had the same thought; the health care system in the US scares me too. I visited back 8n 2004 when one of my brothers was living there. When out with his friends we were chatting about universal healthcare (as you do). She actually couldn’t grasp the concept that anyone and everyone had access to healthcare, regardless of income. She kept saying they had the same thing… if you had a job.

The crossover episode we needed but didn't deserve! So chuffed to get to listen. :)

[@pengyfelix]

37:36 A Dr. Glaucomflecken where the male med student is on the first day of OB/GYN rotation and has all the squeamishness. More seriously, the OB/GYN is called in on a birth where there was no prenatal care and Dr Glaucomflecken can address disparities in access to prenatal care. Rural Medicine calls OB/GYN for a consult on a pregnancy complication that turns out to be similar to something that happened to Delilah after the mastitis.

[@vm1776]

for some reason this reminds me. When my first child was born there was a male nurse on rotation in maternity. Before he came into the room the other nurses always asked if it was ok. We told him that we were fine with him helping us and he could stop asking. He told us that he liked maternity but would be going into a different specialty because the women didn't want a male helping them, so it was hard to do the job. There were 3 other women in maternity that day and none of them would accept his help, so he spent alot of time with us, sometimes in the room answering questions and teaching skills and sometimes showing my husband skills in another room while I slept. He was great, I felt bad for him but also greatful to him.

[@janelliot5643]

​​​​​@@vm1776all he has to do is claim to feel like he's a woman, and then the women have no choice

[@tmalloy9]

Two comments from me besides the fact that I deeply love and appreciate both these channels on every platform I’ve found them. 1. As a patient who had amniocentesis, it’s not painful. It simply feels wrong and alarming, like inviting a scorpion to dinner. 2. Almost anything beyond prenatal visits associated with the birth process involves “alarming to lay people” amounts of blood. I love all y’all!

[@GabdeVue]

PS I personally really like Violin MD (Internal Medicine and Rheumatology specialist). She also seems very kind and like a great person to talk with. I'd love to see her on your show at some point : )

[@Z13Danielle]

Seriously. I have visited New Zealand and yeah it's just gorgeous. The only place I thought about moving to that wasn't the US. Her reaction of "Have you been here?" is super accurate. You just gotta see it

My OBGYN pointed me in the direction of Dr. Mama Jones quite a few years ago

[@maggiekelley259]

Neuroendocrinology is a hobby interest of mine, focusing on sex hormones specifically and she's one of my resources for info.

[@annadavis2547]

I was 4 days after my due date for baby number 3. My husband and I were standing in line to vote. The line was a bit long. While we were waiting, I decided to go into labor. I kept quiet about it thinking that we would be able to vote long before I would need to deliver. We have a friend in the neighborhood who is an ER doc. I finished voting and was waiting for my husband to finish when the doctor came up to me and said, “ your contractions are about 5 minutes apart. If he doesn’t hurry. I might be delivering this baby right here on the floor”. I had not been timing them so I still not sure if he was teasing me or if he was serious. But when I got home and sat down they stopped. The next morning, I had an OB appointment. I was fully fully effaced and dilated to a 5. He told me to go to the hospital if I had any twinges. I decided instead to go home. Twinges were a given. That evening, I arrived at the hospital still at a five. He checked me and left for a scout meeting. I delivered 15 minutes later. The nurse delivered him. Even the ER doc didn’t make it in time. Ha ha on him.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Loving this colab between my favourite internet Drs. and so glad to hear Mamma Dr Jones is happy here. Do try and pop across the ditch when you visit Aus. Although Australia is pretty large so, l imagine lack of time will be a problem. My amusing birth story is, after l gave birth to my daughter they gave me the paperwork to fill out to register the birth. It wasn't until l had almost finished filling out the form that l realised that, for mother's name, out of habit l had put MY mother's name, instead of my own name. Clearly the enormity of my new status hadn't yet sunk in. I was mortified and had to ask for a new form. In my defence l was fairly exhausted after a 12 hour labour and not much sleep.

[@jayrlbd8355]

How about a Dr.G sketch where ObGyn helps out rural medicine, but it turns out it's a cow that's having a tricky labour?? (Might help you be less squeamish if its not a human delivery?)

[@meganshagbark6839]

I appreciate the commentary about your processing that day of the testicular ultrasound, the seriousness of that, and that you said you had to go back to work. For a year, I was the only neuro nurse in clinic, so I felt pressure to always show up, even though I felt my (mental) health taking a dive. I did land in the hospital at that time, but I do relate to the (possible fear) pressure to be at work, or in the residency program. Back in nursing school, they would kick us out if we missed more than one day of clinical rotation, so I put off my healthcare, to almost dangerous detriment to myself. What you talked about seemed similar to my nursing school--that residents HAVE to be at work. And with your content about rural medicine and the farmers not coming in, yes, I see that in clinic, and relate to it, but for some reason all of us think that the farmer's "excuse" and the nursing student's/med student's/resident's plight is different. This conversation started me thinking that the plights are similar, and that I need to keep that in mind when I'm taking care of a farmer whose wife made him come in (several of these pleasant men get sent by our clinic to the ER).

[@maryrichardson1318]

Interesting birth story about a nurse friend of mine. She was working at a military hospital at a rather small military base. They did not have any ob-gyn facilities, so she was going to have her baby in town at the civilian hospital. Well of course, it being her second baby, he came a bit quicker than her first. We went into labor right after she got to work and everything happened so fast, a bunch of Army medics, that she worked with, had to deliver her baby.

[@ItsJennNotJenny]

Love this episode! If anyone wants a good laugh my birth story provides plenty lol While I was induced into labor and sitting in painful contractions, I was waiting for the anesthesiologist. I was an exotic dancer at the time, and I honestly don't know how I kept a straight face because my anesthesia bro was a previous customer 😳😩🥴😑😂😅🙈. It took him a minute to realize and his face went ghost white. My now ex who was in the room was well aware of me dancing while we were dating, but I was not about to out the doc for many reasons that would have been bad 😅. I asked the nurse if she was sure nobody else was available for my epidural 😂.

A dear friend moved to NZ to also practice medicine, but in family medicine. While in MIQ they could only leave the hotel room once a day at a scheduled time. Then we she started at the clinic the first COVID surge was hitting Auckland. The hardest part was coordinating with the NZ immigration system and the medical board.

[@kelseydeweerd6766]

I walked in at 8cm with my oldest, i could definitely feel the contractions but they weren't nearly as painful as with my other births. I got on the bed and told the nurse she was coming, so she lifted my gown to check. My water broke, or exploded all over that poor nurse, right then and my daughter was already crowning. I can laugh about it now, but it was pretty traumatic then. She left me alone "to get the doctor" and came back in fresh scrubs with the OB after I'd had to get up and figure out how to catch my own baby since i couldn't keep her in at that point. They delivered the placenta at least?

Uh; um; like; so; ya know; so, like; uh, um; ah-um; false starts; and overused or weak words: really, perfect, etc. Even KZbinrs who are otherwise well-spoken in their standard videos, throw that to the wind in free-form discussions.

I work in a vein clinic. Most of our patients are dialysis patients who need there fistulas worked on. One pt was very sensitive to heparin, looking back I should have probably put in his chart he was allergic to heparin so the doctor wouldn’t use it, but hindsight and all. We are getting to the end of the procedure and doctor asks for heparin everyone in the room tells the doctor to pause and we discuss that we don’t think heparin is a good idea. The doctor finds out the patient is going right to dialysis after and thinks it will be fine. Well the patient does not stop bleeding, and the doctor orders the patient to go to recovery and for me to keep pressure “until the bleeding stops”. Doctor goes to the next procedure and I’m with the patient for 45 minutes uncomfortably with my finger on his arm. A rep comes in, lucky for me, and I tell the rep to please have the doctor come see this patient as soon as he’s done. We’ll doctor comes in the room and decides to try suturing the hole to stop the bleeding. He turns to me, while I am still with my finger holding pressure and asks me to get him sterile gloves, sutures ect. I’m puzzled but then look at the rep and tell him what room to go in, the size gloves and which sutures the doctor likes kits all the good stuff. God bless this rep, because when he comes back I’m explaining how to set up a sterile field, all while the doctor just stands there looking very impatient. Doctor gets ready and we change so he is holding pressure. I am watching the doctor and I could see him moving the 4x4 off the patient and all I get out is doctor before the whole room is covered in blood. The patient has blood all over him, I have blood all over me, rep is covered walls ceiling. The only thing on the room that did not have a drop of blood on was the doctor. It was like he had an invisible umbrella covering him. The doctor and patient are having a good laugh, and the rep and I are just like we need to go change please

[@HG-gj9lh]

Why couldn’t the doctor set up a sterile field? Some doctors act like they are so above everyone else. I’ve worked with doctors that can’t even bother to acknowledge their nurses and then I’ve worked with doctors that will jump right in with their nurses. I wish all doctors were in group 2.

[@Kblmquist]

@@HG-gj9lh yes it really got to me. Did he not notice I was doing something very important. He didn’t have any kind of gloves on so go get it yourself.

[@IsyAweigh]

As an old nurse, if a Dr doesn't volunteer to set up his (almost never a problem with woman doctors!) own sterile field, DON'T LET HIM. It won't be sterile and it won't be much of a field. You'll see him giggling nervously while donning gloves unassisted, confusing sterile space with nonsterile space from the get-go; letting the field fold shut; dropping instruments and gauzes, picking them up off the bedding and floor, and using them on an open wound. That cultivated helplessness is a lot older than today; they've been forcing others to guarantee their sterility as soon as they felt old enough. Keep it in mind...

[@janeramsey6864]

How about the “ER” episode when the preeclamptic patient presents in labor, and they end up doing the C-section in the ER, and later, Dr. Green is seen, sitting in a rocking chair in the nursery, holding the baby?

The thing in the background is actually a neon fetus in a uterus. What you think is headphones is really a manufacturing problem: how do you create a picture out of a lit tube? Think about drawing a picture using aquarium air tubing with no breaks. (That is how neon signs work - they are a glass tube filled with a gas and a way to charge the gas so it glows.) You end up with things being connected which wouldn’t be if you could lift the pencil, so to speak. So, no, the fetus is not wearing headphones. It hasn’t been born, yet. 😉

Obstetrics in New Zealand can be pretty chill, after my daughter was born, the obstetrician came to visit in shorts and a short sleeve shirt. Eventually it was clear this was unorthodox.

[@Luubelaar]

Luer locks are a fantastic invention but when they go wrong, oh boy. When I worked in a dialysis unit (about 15 years ago), we got a box of lines with faulty Luer locks. When you locked them, they'd make the click sound as normal, except it wasn't normal, they were actually breaking, so once the pressure was turned up to correct function pressure, the lock would fully break and the blood pressure would pop the two parts of the lines apart, and the arterial line would whip about squirting blood up the walls, across the floor, on the ceiling, up the window... yeah it looked like there had been a homicide in the treatment area. Not good. I will never forget the look on the face of our unit's hard working cleaner. Poor woman walked in after being told there had been a blood spill in need of a biohazard clean... only to be confronted with this "crime scene" scenario.

Eyeball phobia: I've been working in the acute care clinic, and the two things I can't tolerate are talking about eyeball injuries (can't even run my brain thru what I imagine cataract surgery is like for either patient or doctor), and any nail-related injury, fingernail or toenail. I've had to ask patients to stop talking if they start talking about past fingernail or toenail injury. But what blows my mind is that I can't tolerate eye injuries, but that eye physiology and anatomy fascinates and interests me. I do agree that that might be because the globe is so sensitive.

Your skits make me so much calmer going to the doctors as I am terrible around doctors (as a patient, I’ve been working as a translational scientist for about a decade). Also Mama Dr Jones makes it easier to go get my Pap smear. I have been in gastroenterology research for a few years so could you do a gastro skit?

[@Richdragon4]

Doc Schmidt has a lot of cool gastroenterology skits as he is a GI fellow. I seriously recommend.

I totally couldn't do eyeballs. I can now watch veterinary castration and be fascinated but had to look away during eye removal on a horse because I was afraid I'd puke or faint.

I love mama Dr Jones! She warms my Texas heart and the way she explains female care is just so digestible! My next guest suggestion would be a dental professional. I am a dental assistant so selfishly I want you to have a CDA and discuss the issue of respect and pay of assistants but I would be happy with any dental professional

Holy cow, what an AMAZING collab! ❤

[@Cait491]

Your Bapa had a midwife. I wasn’t examined by him but he did come in and deliver you. At that point I didn’t care

[@whatausernamethisis8893]

I love these podcasts. I was wondering, would you consider doing a podcast episode with Molly Burke?

[@TankGuy3]

Doctor Rich would be an interesting one to interview.

I’m not a Scientologist, but I actually did get exceptionally quiet during delivery. I wasn’t necessarily planning to be, that was just how I handled it in the moment. But I wasn’t in a bathtub with no pain meds with monsters outside.

[@KxNOxUTA]

Yaaaaaaaaaaay Mama Dr. Jones!!!! And again this episode was sooooooo funny and so amazing. I had a blast. You also went through everything. From societal criticisms to personall stories and fears to laughing about the silly stuff media does. Fantastic!
