Doctor Reacts To Osmosis Jones

Osmosis Jones is an animated movie from 2001 starring Chris Rock as the titular white blood cell responsible for capturing viruses inside of Bill Murray's body. I remember seeing this as a kid and loving it, but I haven't taken another look at it since I went to medical school, so I was exciting to open it back up and check its accuracy. The jokes in here are so funny, but some of the medical elements are a little weak. Let me know down below if you think I should check out the TV series, Ozzy and Drix!

[@mollusckscramp4124]

I've always wondered if there could potentially be a medically plausible scenario where an over the counter medication taken once could have an unintended side effect that impacted your immune system long term, but in a good way like Drix lol (maybe something like an autoimmune allergic reaction)

[@user-kx1mb9qq4z]

@@mollusckscramp4124 Nah. Even in-universe, Drix was supposed to leave. He was about tog et on the bus/train (I forget) to exit the body (probably through urine?) as essentially a metaphor for this stuff like, dissolving or something after X amount of time. They'd only be able to have long term effects if they stayed permanently like Drix chose to. So unless we make sapient over the counter meds in the future that don't dissolve or lose whatever "it" is that lets them fight symptoms, it can't happen.

I'm not a doctor, but I remember watching Dr. Hope reacting to this movie and he gave a good description on Thrax's motives. According to him, Thrax's objective wasn't just to give Frank a fever, but to cause his body to completely lose its regulation. That would cause severe hyperthermia (or hypothermia), leading to all bodily functions failing. Plus, Thrax wasn't planning to stick around after that.

[@fist-of-doom487]

Fun fact Thrax is called the Red Death which is a reference to a fictional disease by the same name in Edgar Allen Poe’s story. In there people with the disease heat up so much they start sweating blood, absolute melt down. A disease like that could be extremely deadly and highly contagious. Hospitals, homes maybe even the streets just covered in blood and sweat as it jumps from creature to creature. It’d increase the age rating if they did that in here but the basic concept remains. A man who’s burning from the inside and a disease which is both extremely destructive and highly contagious. Cells exploding, inflammation and internal scaring, the body loses the ability to regulate temperature and just melts down, then something as simple as a cough can spread it to others.

[@alyssapeterson2004]

Still... That is a horrible plan for a bacteria or virus. The purpose is to live and reproduce within the host, and you can't do that if the host is dead XD That is why pathogens that cause severe symptoms tend to be in isolated areas.

@@kyleeaton1709 studies have found that Tylenol has very little effect on body temperature, unlike ibuprofen (Advil) and aspirin, since it has no anti-inflammatory effect. Doctors who prescribe Tylenol may do so to alleviate the pain that comes with fever, rather than reducing the temperature itself. Or maybe to get benefits from the placebo effect, or to give "something" to the patient in order to reassure them. You'd be surprised how often doctors prescribe placebos just so that their patients think they've been treated, especially when there's not much to do.

[@davidfalloutbandit]

There's actually a pretty popular fan theory that says that the main villain is not a natural disease or illness but actually a man-made bio weapon which is why he came from a monkey that was possibly used as a test subject in a lab and why unlike normal virus he isn't concerned about replicating or spreading but instead on killing the host

[@Justmyhandle]

Even as a kid, I figured this movie wasn't trying to be 100% medically accurate but DANG if it wasn't fun to watch and/or discuss in school. It made biology more interesting. I'll always have a place in my heart for this film. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it was memorable & innovative in some ways for its time, especially the fight between Osmosis and Thrax (I re-watched it so many times as a kid ). It was short, but well animated and made me view white blood cells as microscopic bad-asses. I'd LOVE a AAA action-RPG with a similar premise to Osmosis Jones and Cells at Work someday: Essentially, create/customize your own white blood cell, explore a vast open world map of the human body you help protect, cooperate with fellow cells (among other microbes) and fight varied threats to said body. As you progress + level up, you'd unlock new abilities for your character while upgrading existing traits (all based on real white blood cell functions). The concept alone has great potential!

I was first starting to not feel well on that day. What a movie to be watching right before something like that happens to you. I was thinking this is what's happening inside my body right now. That's a hell of a surreal experience.

[@RinitaChan]

I remember I was really scared of Thrax as a kid, I was even more scared when the dad’s fever was hitting 106° for personal life reasons. Long story short, I had a fever that high when I was five and had to realize at like eight that I had a serious brush with mortality.

[@Chillreviewer]

Drix wasn't made to combat viruses, there was kind of a whole existential crisis thing going on with him in the movie about that, but I still think it's kind of neat that osmosis was able to convince him to hunt down the root of the problem: the virus, even though that isn't a pills job.

My mother had to have her gall bladder removed due to it getting full of stones. She had had SO much pain with it. Trust me, gallstones are no joke either

[@carinaferreira2555]

Yes! 👏🏻

[@nmularoni1]

Nope, mine got hers years ago. I felt so bad for her during that process

[@xfreak385231]

I been through that too in my early twenties. The pain was terrible, it felt like someone was sticking a large needle in my chest.

[@ariachristie5486]

Got it at 16. No one thought to check there so doctors kept saying everything was fine. Mom thought I was crying wolf. I cried and begged to see one more doctor because I hurt so badly. Doctor almost immediately orders an ultrasound and man did that tech fail at keeping a neutral face 😂😂😂. Multiple stones and a completely blocked bile duct. I was days from it rupturing and possible death. My poor mom felt so bad but I didn’t blame her. I don’t even really blame the doctors who couldn’t figure it out. Not exactly a common issue in teens.

[@RosheenQuynh]

As someone who had them as well, I can attest... worst pain imaginable in my life

[@ceneika]

Watched this after my chemistry class today … good stuff subscribed 😂

[@megwallis4366]

I like how you give medical responses, because i am going to be a doctor, and you inpired me to help people who are sick.

[@superdrummergaming]

I love how smart our bodies are. When you get sick, you often get a fever(the flu is the best example). Our bodies know that they can turn up the temp to kill whatever is causing the sickness. It knows that it will kill the virus before it kills itself. I don't take drugs when I get sick because all they do is mask symptoms. My body needs those symptoms to decide what to do. If it needs a low-grade fever to kill a virus, then I don't want to be taking a fever reducer like acetaminophen(found in tylenol and most cold medicine). If my body decides that we need a little fever, I'm gonna let it do that. Obviously I keep a close eye on it, but I don't interfere unless it gets out of hand.

[@okk]

Millions of years of evolution will do that

[@iscander_s]

Reducing a fever is probably the worst thing you can even do to your body, fighting an illness. Yes, it's uncomfortable, but that's how immunity doing its job.

[@lagopusvulpuz1571]

​@@iscander_s "Reducing a Fever" means you're recovering. We have modern medicine, if we let the body be, natural selection would be back. Also I hate feeling my nose like it's on fire. No I will take my medicine ty, I'm not a savage.

[@joelcastro-reyes1667]

As a serious inquiry, how high does a fever have to be for doctors to consider it dangerous to the actual body?

[@GenXfrom75]

When I had pneumonia, they freaked out when mine hit 105.

[@buttercuptheclown4599]

I mean I'm pretty sure once you hit 108 you're dead

[@xar226]

Not a doctor but I believe the danger zone starts around 106F.

[@joelcastro-reyes1667]

@@buttercuptheclown4599 I only ask cuz Mike always says fevers are good but I know for sure that super high fevers can start to cook you internally so to speak. So I wanna know what the threshold is for fever to be dangerous.

[@legendaryscarletlunala7927]

I had bacterial pneumonia but with a collapsed lung. My fever hit 104.

[@cjtheevilghost5711]

I had COVID the first week of September (fully vaxed by that point). I didn't have a fever when I had COVID, but a few days after testing negative, my lymph nodes started bothering me real bad.

[@mikedo286]

I have been trying to find this movie for so long thank you dr Mike

[@angelheart6936]

I loved this movie as a kid very interesting I watched it again a few days ago and figured out that the villain or "virus" was called the red death was an extremely deadly virus its a old one but it would heat your body up so much it would feel like your boiling blood from the inside and kill you in a day or three if I remember right

[@cleothehelpfuljack1057]

Dr Mike losing his mind over the flaws in a children’s film is hilarious! 😂

[@nico_ghost667]

I'm learning so much from those kinds of videos

[@emilyann6777]

I remember seeing some of this as a kid and I got terrified of getting some infection like this. I was a very scared and timid child lol

[@natalielawyerchick]

I LOVED this movie as a kid! I haven’t heard anyone talk about this in a long time

[@bethelehemsolomon7248]

My dad used to make us watch that movie whenever we got sick. One of the best memories of my life 😁

[@twillacatron7596]

1:10 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@VocalFox]

Laurence Fishburne playing Thrax is giving the same energy as Erik Delluns playing Aaravos- I should not be attracted to the villain… And yet, here we are. 💀

[@tristanband4003]

Yeah, with your insights it's pretty easy to see how they should've done the movie better. The patrol in the first part should've been in the bloodstream (maybe a high speed pursuit of a pathogen?), Thrax's nature should have been more clear (as a virus, there is a lot of potential for animated body horror. Between initial infection brainwashing cells to "see things his way", to them exploding as he grows his own crew), Thrax's plan should've been more in line with with symptoms that are caused by him, and not merely the body's response to him, and most importantly chest compressions.

[@xpglr]

This was one of my most watched movies as a kid. I was a weird kid. I’m in nursing school now so I guess everything worked out 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great video, as always!

8 min of Dr. Mike ruining one of my favourite childhood movies 🍿🥺

Lol

bro same

😐

[@Eloquence00]

I loved this movie as a kid and as an adult it still kinda holds up to be honest. Maybe not medically, but I never really cared about that. I laughed really hard when Mike said "don't bring out the paddles!" and instead the doctors literally did nothing. Truly the second best genie at work with that one.

[@classy06]

2:35 Jesus Christ

[@zoiehitt2983]

i just watched this in biology a couple weeks ago never expected mike to react to this

[@ninar9664]

I used to watch this in science class. It owns a special place in my heart even if it’s not accurate

[@VMYeahVN]

Agreed, Osmosis Jones is one of those movies where even though it's not accurate, it gets enough of the basics right to still be educational/beneficial. Especially since it was aimed at kids.

[@Ydouj]

I slept 2 minutes in when i saw in school 💀

[@jenniferbates2811]

I watched this movie with my kids over 20 times on a VHS!!! The animation was incredible for it's time.

[@venerexate1841]

The fact that this bacteria/virus thing is killing himself by causing an immune reaction is hilarious

[@Spooky_is_quite_silly]

Funny that I just randomly think of this movie, search it on KZbin, and find a video from you from only a week ago

[@nikolefinger1747]

I still say we need a "Doctor Reacts to Footless Joe Amputation Story." There was so much I didn’t expect to learn from that.

[@jodil1209]

She's the best!! I've been following her since the beginning. I bet she would love to talk to Doctor Mike.

[@ashleytuchin7693]

I loved this movie so much as a kid, as well as the spin-off series Ozzy & Drix.

[@ashleytuchin7693]

@Denis Ashby same here! I actually saw the series before the movie.

[@hanaz1023]

PLEASE make a longer video/part 2. I want to know the scientific inaccuracies and your corrections for every single line of this movie!

[@s_metal-su5si]

We just watched this in my science class and now I’m obsessed with this movie

[@supersizesenpai]

Mike falling apart over a kids movie is the funniest thing on earth. 🤣

[@blackout9126]

I watched this in a class a while ago, brings back some memories. Quite entertaining and pretty funny, happy to see you cover this.

[@davidperkins7782]

I'm so glad that Ozzy and Drix moved to a new person in the animated series. Also, I had two kidney stones at the same time. Oddly enough, I was relieved because it was my first time and I was worried it was something else. I was in pain all morning. Though, after that, my stones would just keep me up all night. I was stuck in the bathroom because when I would leave, I would feel a serious need to go back. Then I would not need to go. I wasn't in pain, but it was emotionally defeating.

[@colt45604]

You should react to the tv series based off this movie, Ozzie and Drix, I bet it would give you plenty of material to react to

[@selmahoiseth7131]

I want to be a doctor when I’m older, and I just want to say that I actually learn so much from your videos!

[@tamarwilk9257]

Same

[@gabbsiscool]

I once accidentally drugged my college professor with Advil PM. He fell on his way to class and he hurt his foot. He asked me to go down to the student store and get him some Advil for the pain. I got a couple but didn't look at the packet. One of them was an Advil PM. He then had to go make himself throw up to get it out of his system. He went home early and discovered that he actually broke his foot when he fell. This was over 4 years ago but I still feel bad today

[@Mojova1]

"Once Upon a Time... Life." Please you have to watch this. It was my childhood favorite. It is like OG Cells at work.

[@melody7462]

This brings me memories, i used to watch this when i was a kid

[@khalilahd.]

Okay I didn’t realize how inaccurate it is but I’m ngl I LOVED osmosis Jones as a kid 😂❤️

That scene with the pimple is forever a cringe-worthy moment in my childhood health class. XD

[@MissMiseryGloom]

I remember some of the funniest things in this movie were what the little signs and statues everywhere said. I have to watch this again!

[@joshbrony2204]

My health teacher said that in the movie, the name of the villain is “Thrax”, which she said was a reference to a disease called “Anthrax” and I think they referenced it, and made it fairly accurate.

[@darthplagueis13]

It might be a reference, but the symptoms don't line up with Anthrax. If they actually managed to represent Anthrax well, this couldn't be a kids movie because it's quite disturbing.

[@iamacatperson7226]

I don't really think so. Anthrax is REALLY disturbing, wouldn't go good for a kids movie

[@Skyte100]

2:16 to be fair he's not a doctor so as far as he can tell, its a cramp.

[@tevinhoward4419]

Jones and Drix were the protagonists with Leah and the FPD along side Tom colonic as heroes saving downtown frank from humidity leading to thrax killing innocent civilians.

[@heikanaomi4426]

This is hilarious cause when I clicked this I thought: Oh yeah I remember this as a kid, I learned so much! 😅😅😅😅Thanks for this haha, definitely learned more from you hehe

Hi Dr. Mike it’s me again bro this was and coming to be the best KZbin channel in my opinion thank you keep it up
