Real Doctor Reacts to NEW AMSTERDAM | Medical Drama Review | Doctor Mike

[@lisenormann4102]

One of my patients (I treat their varicose ulcer) told me about a time they went to the hospital, it was a teaching hospital so the doctor brought some medical students with her.. The doctor asked the students what they saw, and they immediately went for the physical symptoms. Never acknowledging the patient as a human being, never saying hi, asking how the patient was doing, just seing a body with a problem.. This is a patient that is extremely nervous of doctors, it's so important to remember to be a fellow human.

[@rebekahking7283]

Lise Normann I see that a lot as well. I see that difference especially amongst medical students versus nursing students who ask the patients questions and get to know them on a more personal level. Most doctors really are brilliant but like he has said in a previous episode, they spent so much time with their noses in books for obvious reasons that they forgot how personalize situations. Thankfully, nurses are there to pull the two together! ☺️ We are all a team and are working towards a common goal!

[@lisenormann4102]

Nameless and Shameless they’re there to learn patient care, that includes good bedside manners. They wouldn’t interrupt the doctor by addressing the patient before listing the symptoms.

[@AlexaAriGo]

as a patient I would've asked them directly to see me as a human being. I hate medical staff do that. as a person I come in with a problem, scared worried. the doctor looks at me and sees but the problem. suddenly I am the problem. all I am in that moment is sick. horrible feeling and it makes me wonder if some doctors become medicine over time

[@tothestarsandback2013]

As a patient, I have been subjected to this during labor and my son was in distress. It has dramatically changed how i am as a health care provider and how I treat my patients and their families. I take my role as a nurse seriously and try to remember the human, not the disease

[@sambushner]

I’m a nurse on a trauma/gen surg floor, and what you said about surgeons doing unnecessary procedures is spot on. We had a surgeon who only practiced at our hospital for a short time, but he was incredible at putting the patient first and doing what’s most conservative. He started treating small bowel obstructions with oral contract because it promotes peristalsis. It was incredible to watch these patients improve over a day or two vs being in the hospital for a week with bowel complications. We need more surgeons like that.

[@kartronthepegasus101]

I know in so many of your videos you tell doctors to 'be human' and to be honest and treat the patient as a person, this is something I really appreciate. A few years back I was diagnosed with what's called minimal change disease - a very rare kidney problem for someone my age at least (was 19 at the time) and it took four months to get the treatment I needed because the doctors kept brushing me off as a hysterical teenager who was only gaining weight 'like most people due when they turn twenty'. The day I was admitted into the hospital, i had gone the day before because I was starting to have trouble breathing and this doctor found fluid in my lungs (I had accumulated so much excess fluid since my kidneys were storing the fluid instead of getting rid of it that there was nowhere else to put it but my lungs) but he still sent me home despite my protests. I came back the next day because I could no longer walk or feel my legs and had collapsed on the sidewalk. The same doctor saw me again and still brushed off my concern saying that I was 'fine' so the nurse who had been with me since I arrived called for another doctor. This Doctor arrived ten minutes after my dad (who was at work and got called when the ambulance picked me up) took one look at me, turned to my dad since he could see I was hysterical and told him; 'I'm not trying to scare you but we need to admit your daughter right now. I believe her organs are starting to shut down, she could be dying. At the very least her heart isn't circulating the blood to her legs which is why they're discoloured and she's not breathing properly. We need to start treating her for these problems while we find out what's really going on.' This meant the word to me because he treated me as a person and actually started to treat me and saw that I was indeed a very sick woman and not just a hysterical teenager. He thought it was probably my kidneys and explained this to me before he did the biopsy to find out it was minimal change disease. He saved my life and was honest with me and my family from the start which I value so much. Sorry that this is so long, but it just stuck with me and like you say, some doctors get so caught up in routine and fail to communicate with the patients and it can lead to situations like mine. So, having a doctor treat me like a human being and tell me what was going on - every step of the way really helped make it a lot less scary and gave me so much hope. So thank you. Great job with the videos. Keep up the great work.

@@jameson1239 you'd be surprised the missteps that get made in prescribing medication for psychiatric conditions - and I'm not being critical of the doctors here, but diagnoses can vary a hell of a lot. Also some medication is prescribed "off label" - so for example one of my prescriptions is seroquel, an antipsychotic, but for me it's meant to tackle depression and insomnia. And for me it works well! On the other hand, give my sister seroquel and she loses her mind and has a really bad reaction. It's not as easy as saying "these medicines are for x which clearly has different symptoms to y" because you don't know the patient history or what symptoms the prescription is trying to address.

I have a suggestion for your "Real Doctor Reacts" series. You've mention a few times how the medical world is constantly evolving, so I was thinking it would be cool to look at some really old medical tv dramas, (like from the 60's through the 80's) and see how much medicine has changed over the last 50 years or so. I can only name a few shows like M.A.S.H, Emergency!, St. Elsewhere, and General Hospital. Not sure if any of these would work for your series though, but I figured that I would just throw them out there.

[@bleumoon__]

The "Remember you are taking care of a human being" part is so important. I'm glad you said something about it. Until my most recent doctor I was someone who was terrified of going to the doctors or even dentists because I somehow always ended up with someone who didn't remember that. My dentist wouldn't even speak to me. He would talk to the nurse over me and refer to me as "Patient" and wouldn't even really look at me. My doctors would do similar things. For example I had the swine flu (sp?) and had to have a very long swab put up my nose to test for it. I was terrified and the doctor just grabbed my arm and shoved it up with little to no warning. It hurt very badly and scared me (I was maybe 12 or 13). After when I was trying not to cry she just said "You're fine." and left the room. The wonderful doctor I have now gives me pep talks on being happy and when I had to explain a night terror I had to her and began to cry (I'm a baby I know) she hugged me and wiped my face with a tissue. I'm 17 now but I felt like a toddler all over again and she didn't shame me for it. She waited for me to calm down then even went as far as to compliment my eye color. Things like this can make a world of a difference for patients. Chances are if they are there something is going wrong in their life so a little kindness and compassion meaning everything. (I know I totally just went on a useless rant but oh well cx)

[@justarandomgal2683]

I get your point and this might have been a typo on your part but dentists don't work with nurses. They work with dental hygienists.

[@abouz3237]

Tkanks so much for your sharing as a med student, i could benefit from your experience. Because most of the time in our lessons patients are usually referred as complex machines that needs to be fixed. And focusing on that part makes some doctors forget that there is a human being behind that shell.

[@loftyradish6972]

I had a really awesome interaction with a patient yesterday when I acted as a human instead of as only the blood test lady. While checking the patient's details, I confirmed with her that she was an inpatient at a local psychiatric hospital. I recognised the hospital because I was a patient there too, and I casually mentioned to her I had been a patient there too. I asked her how it was since the renovation. She thanked me for being open about it because she had been really struggling with feelings of stigma and shame, and to have me, a random health professional casually mention I had been a patient there too had just helped with that stigma. Then we continued the conversation about stigma, the choice to tell friends, how lonely it is when friends don't understand and why it feels safer not to tell them. After I had taken her blood, I told her "I don't know if you need to be reminded of this, but it gets better" she nodded, and I continued "when I was there, I knew it could get better, but I was in so much pain I didn't think it would be worth it. I thought the amount of pain I am in right now isn't worth the effort it will take to get better, but I was wrong, it was worth it." Then I asked her if she would like a hug and gave her a big hug, rubbing her back and telling her "you have got this." She told me I had made her day, but she made my day too. It is moments like that where I love my job.

[@danielshine9303]

amazing what happens when you actually do your job properly and treat patients like \REAL HUMANS rather than just a number and dollar signs. hiopefully that interaction will now mean you treat people properly from now on rather than just treat them like a robot. its crazy tha tyou are so suprised and shocked at how good it was to treat a patient like a human for once. clearly youve been doing your job extremly poorly for so long now youve become so numb to it. cant believe there are so many awful awful medical pros around.

I absolutely understand how hard the profession is but most of us don't want to pester our doctors or seem like a problem. That's how serious medical issues are overlooked. Overworked professional and a patient who doesn't want to complain. It's a recipe for disaster. Patients want to feel like they are talking to another person.

[@loftyradish6972]

@@feraltaco4783 Absolutely, and despite how stressful the job may be, it is never an excuse or justification to not treat people like human beings. I think for a very long time, doctors considered conditions they couldn't test for to not be real. They decided the patients were imagining their symptoms instead of accepting that biomedicine isn't perfect, and we just don't have the knowledge and technology to test for everything yet. But that doesn't mean it isn't real. When patients are made to feel like their symptoms aren't real, they either accept and ignore them, or get labelled a hypochondriac and even if they try to seek help, just get patted on the head and sent home. Hope you are doing better and have found some decent health professionals, they are out there.

4:00 Dr.Mike makes a great point about encouraging patients to ask questions to their doctors. The problem is most patients fear the doctors will get upset at them and it will ruin the "relationships" if it really exists at some level. I ask many questions to my doctors because the more I know the better I can adjust my life to suit the doctors' treatments. But sometimes some doctors just get irritated answering me and diss my questions. That's why most patients dare not to speak up. If most doctors learn to communicate better and learn that we patients need to know more about our conditions so we can be better patients to them. We don't ask just to bug your ego but we ask because we want the best outcome, the same thing as you, doctors.

It does not say he fired an entire department he says he closed the program down for a year, he specifically says it was to build something better. So more than likely non-essential staff may have lost their jobs but all the doctors and nurses, nope. I think in other articles I read it says how he worked with them to build a better program.

General Grievous no it doesn’t. Closing a program doesn’t mean anyone got fired.

So again there is no evidence he fired an entire department and he never says he fired an entire department. Prorframs in hospitals get shut down that doesn’t mean every doctor and nurse involved gets fired. They get shifted with maybe a few fired. Not an entire departments worth.

So kept seeing people asking for Cells at Work. Did a little research on it and it's actually a really creative way on showing how the inner body works on protecting the body. Cells at Work seems like it would be a good Doctor Reacts episode.

[@jessicapeyton5444]

YES! Every Wednesday! I've been wanting to watch New Amsterdam too.

[@NotaBizarreJoJo]

I think you should react to Cells at Work, more specifically the allergies episode. This anime is pretty spot on with how the human body works and makes it even better by combining it with humor.

8:23: True dat for the more I watch these videos, the more shocking & appalling I've been treated by the majority of my provider's when I started deteriorating in 2018 & as I progressively became more disabled the worse I've been treated so I'm very grateful to this National Treasure, his attitude & content.❤😊

SO. TRUE. My dad was having hip issues. Doctor 1: "You need hip replacement." Doctor 2: What? No. Good lord. Do X, Y, and Z and that should help." Guess what? DIDN'T NEED HIP REPLACEMENT.

[@InformerMaz]

I’m in my early 20’s, and I’m going to need a hip replacement soon unfortunately. I’m so happy that your dad was able to have his hip taken care of without surgery. It’s definitely a weird feeling knowing your hip won’t be the same soon enough.

I feel you I have relapsing polychondritis and even tho all joints affected, the shoulder was first, I already had one surgery before the condition, but then had a surgery every 9 months for 5yrs = 6 in 5, sucked - last one was replacement... But been offered to have other shoulder, hips, knees, and ankles done too but I'm done, no more surgeries unless they are life threatening... I say pain meds, ice, exercise - surgeons say "pills aren't a permanent fix" but after 5 regular surgeries & one horrid experimental surgery on the one arm to still be in major daily pain... Surgeries aren't a permanent fix either in my opinion. 😉😁😢😎🤐

They can offer comfort food as a secondary option while focusing on healthy food

[@scottwpilgrim]

Here's the real reason for unhealthy food in hospitals: Hospitals outsource meals and cafeteria goods to the lowest bidders, especial public hospitals that can't afford a good service on donations alone. The thing that irks me the most is that these companies that provide meals to the hospitals are STILL TRYING TO PROFIT off of doctors, nurses, and sick people.

[@Buffy8Fan]

I enjoyed this show and yes, would like to see more of your reactions, but I also think the same of a lot of other doctor shows you've seen. And despite the things that I knew were untrue like what you can and cannot do against policy ect. I loved the fact that, so far at least, their aren't huge story lines based on romance. So far it seems to be a C or D story line at best.

[@ZenMuff1n]

Well, him being at odds with his wife/lover and actively chasing publicity rep, is kind of a hint on a future plot line.

[@Buffy8Fan]

Romashk That wouldn't bother me as long as those types of story lines stay more of a back burner arcs and plots and keep the medicine as the main story. It thinking along the lines of how the television show ER used to do it.

[@ZenMuff1n]

Buffy8Fan Yeah, I hope this won't be another Grace memorial hot bed too. It's just that there are hints for a romantic subplot of the main character. This actor being good at relationship drama, for one. I wouldn't set myself up for this being strictly medicine drama, is all.

I am currently an Emt/Paramedic student, and I love hearing you say things in these episodes that we then cover the following week, keep these coming!

I literally watched this episode before watching this video just so I could watch your reaction video to it. I'm a fan too so far, and from the next episode's preview it looks like a lot happens so quickly, but I like the characters and I'm hoping there will be some medical accuracies. I love medicine dramas that are accurate because I get to learn new things while being entertained and helps me to further investigate. If it weren't for House and Grey's Anatomy I wouldn't know how to recognize when someone is having a stroke and how to handle a person who is having a seizure.

[@cjones589]

The firing of the cardiac department actually did happen. New Amsterdam is based on the book "Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellvue Hospital" by their former medical director, Eric Manheimer. He made sweeping changes that brought the hospital out of bankruptcy all while undergoing chemo for throat cancer. A fantastic read. The specifics of patients are fictionalized in the show but the admin and personal 'beefs' are based on his actual tenure at the hospital.

[@aerohead21]

Finally getting around to watching this - thank you so much for giving a professional take on this! I appreciate you recognizing your viewers may not be medical. Also, from the mental health background, being human towards patients is very delicate. It’s used extremely sparingly and providers can lose their licenses if they overuse or misuse it. It, unfortunately, can lead to transference. I know this can happen in medicine as well, but in mental health where the majority of the time is spent doing some version of talk therapy, transference can be dangerous for patients and providers as well. (Mental health counselor here).
