Doctor Reacts To Nickelodeon Medical Scenes

I was a BIG Nickelodeon kid in the 90s. I loved the cartoons like Doug, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, so today I say down to look back through my favorite childhood shows to see what kind of medical information there was, and check in to see if things were accurate. What about when Otto broke his leg in Rocket Power? Or when Rocko had appendicitis during Rocko’s Modern Life? I even took a look at more modern shows like The Loud House and Avatar The Last Airbender to see what Nicktoons are up to these days. I couldn’t believe the stuff Jimmy Neutron got up to inside Carl’s head or poor Cosmo’s broken Fagilgli Gland in The Fairly Oddparents. What shows or scenes did I miss? Let me know down below!

The reflective disk you're referring to is called a head mirror. It is a medical instrument that was commonly used by doctors in the past, especially during the early to mid-20th century. The head mirror consists of a concave mirror, typically attached to a headband, which can be positioned in front of the doctor's eye. The purpose of the head mirror is to direct a source of light, such as a lamp, onto the patient's body. The mirror reflects the light onto the area of interest, illuminating it for examination. The doctor can adjust the angle of the mirror to focus the light precisely where it's needed, providing better visibility during examinations or procedures. The head mirror is not commonly used in modern medical practice today. Advances in technology, such as handheld lights and headlamps with built-in lights, have made it more convenient and efficient for doctors to illuminate their workspace. However, the image of doctors wearing head mirrors has persisted in popular culture, including cartoons, as a recognizable symbol of the medical profession.

It comprises a circular concave mirror, with a small hole in the middle, and is attached to a head band. The mirror is worn over the physician's eye of choice, with the concave mirror surface facing outwards and the hole directly over the physician's eye, providing illumination like a ring light. In use, the patient sits and faces the physician. A bright lamp is positioned adjacent to the patient's head, pointing toward the physician's face and hence towards the head mirror. The light from the lamp reflects off the mirror, along the line of sight of the user, with the light being somewhat concentrated by the curvature of the mirror. When used properly, the head mirror thus provides excellent shadow-free illumination. TLDR: it reflects light and the doctor looks through the hole

The circular silver thing that doctors used to wear over 20 years ago was called a head mirror. Head mirrors are diagnostic devices that reflect light into a patient's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears to help with exams. They can also be used during surgery to see inside a patient. To use a head mirror, a doctor swings it down over one eye and peers through the center hole. A lamp is positioned behind the patient, and the mirror reflects and focuses that light on the doctor's eye. Head mirrors are mostly used for examining the ear, nose, and throat. Basically we didn't have super high efficiency LED lights back in the day.

"head mirror." It was used in examinations of the ear, throat, and other, ah, body cavities. To use, you swung the head mirror down so that you could look through the hole in the middle with one eye. Then you positioned a light source so that it shone on the mirror’s parabolic surface. By moving your head just so, you could reflect the light rays down the patient’s throat or whatever, the better to illuminate items of interest without obstructing the view.

Regarding the circular mirror worn on head, the disc is known as a head mirror, and it helps otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) visualize various body cavities of interest. To use the device, the medical professional swings the mirror down over one eye, peering through the center hole.They are rarely seen outside of the ENT setting, having been largely replaced by pen lights among general practitioners. They are still used by some otolaryngologists, particularly for examinations and procedures involving the oral cavity, although many are switching to fiber optic headlights. Yes, I googled it.

13:16 lesson for teachers: when a kid asks if they can use the restroom, its not a maybe, they are giving you a heads up, once they ask again, they are basically saying "my bladder is at the maximum capacity and in 10-12 seconds I will have to release the urine contracted in my body as to not get urinary tract infections"

[@sarahp6554]

True! Though I substituted in a kindergarten classroom for a while and once one student asked, they all wanted to go. To avoid having a half dozen 5/6 year olds in the hallway unsupervised, I ended up just taking the whole class down the hall and making them all pee. We also all used the bathroom before recess and after lunch. I don’t deny kids the bathroom, especially younger ones. I had a home economics teacher make me wash dishes when I really had to pee. She absolutely refused to let me go, and I ended up so desperate I burst out the door past her and peed myself in the hallway. The school nurse ended up yelling at the teacher.

[@chatnoire89]

I also had a classmate (female, around 11 y/o at that time) who was the top student of the claas. She absolutely tried to hold her bladder during class but finally couldn't take it. As she got up from her seat and running towards the door after asking for permission, she peed herself in the middle of the class.

[@thekippster4749]

Ditto to that! I have a family history of bladder problems. My younger sister would get aggressive bladder infects if she tried to hold it in and My dad has a hyperactive bladder he takes medicine for now. Waiting wasn't/isn't an option for them. What's worse, my dad's KINDERGARTEN teacher made fun of him for how much he had to use the bathroom.

[@justthatgirl-ct4jo]

I remember a teacher wouldn't let me go to the bathroom and I got up, walked to the bathroom, and came back like nothing happened. I honestly thought I would get in trouble later, but nobody said anything to me.

[@CranesWing]

Seriously, no respect for teachers that refuse to let kids go to the bathroom. Thankfully I didn't have an incident, but I did have a teacher that didn't let me go and my bladder ached for the rest of the day. I told my mom, she got mad and told me to still ask, be polite and all, but to never let myself go that far ever again; said my health was more important, and promised to back me up if I got in trouble for it. I don't recall ever having to test it.

If you wanted to know what the disc thing is it was a early version of head mirrors. A head mirror is mostly used for examination of the ear, nose and throat (ENT). It comprises a circular concave mirror, with a small hole in the middle, and is attached to a headband.

A head mirror is mostly used for examination of the ear, nose & throat. It comprises a circular concave mirror, with a small hole in the middle, and is attached to a head band. The mirror is worn over the physician's eye of choice, with the concave mirror surface facing outwards and the hole directly over the physician's eye, providing illumination like a ring light. In use, the patient sits and faces the physician. A bright lamp is positioned adjacent to the patient's head, pointing toward the physician's face and hence towards the head mirror. The light from the lamp reflects off the mirror, along the line of sight of the user, with the light being somewhat concentrated by the curvature of the mirror. When used properly, the head mirror thus provides excellent shadow-free illumination. -Wikipedia

The head mirror was used for examination of orifices in a time we didn't have or didn't have access to modern instruments with light integrated in them. So the doctor would put a lamp next the patient, he would look in the hole of the mirror and the light reflection would go directly in the orifice (mouth, nose or ear) without causing a shadow.
