So true!! Have to be thorough on infectious disease. 😂 An ID attending told me me he had a pediatric patient that he couldn’t figure out. He kept asking the family if they had any pets at home. He asked them multiple times and they said no. He later discovered that they had a cat home. When he asked about the cat, they responded “Oh she’s not a pet. She’s family.” ☠️

This explains why my doctor asked me if I ever had an abortion after I just told him I had never been pregnant before. At first I was offended by such a stupid question but then I realized some of his other patients are probably idiots.

On the first appointment I had with the ID doctor, he spent over an hour just taking history. The next visits he still took at least 15min to just take the history since the last visit. I was also keeping symptom diaries (for fever, pain and anything I thought relevant). He had a whole folder on me by the time we figured out what I had. Once, he literally called me at 10pm because he was home revising it and suddenly remembered some disease he needed to check for. Never met such a dedicated doctor, but I think he ended up working himself to exhaustion a few years later.

And why….pray tell? I contracted necrotizing fasciitis in my upper, right thigh. Almost died. Was flown to a trauma center and put on a ventilator…after they drilled a hole into my other leg and inserted an I/O, then I had three operations in three days and spent most of that time unconscious. They removed about 1/2 of my upper thigh and I had a plethora of other procedures to gain access to a central line, to have a catheter inserted, for a pain pump and a few other things that I just cannot even remember right now. Spent 10 days in ICU, 10 days in CCU and 10 days on the med-surg floor, then off to a month of rehabilitation to learn how to walk again (with severe nerve damage) and to build up my strength. You lose a whole lot of strength and muscle when you’re bed bound for 15 days and when you haven’t been able to take in proper sustenance.

"My histories take so long, the cultures wait on ME to finish" is going to be my new catch phrase, but that's just because I'm slow. Slow, but thorough. I do catch things in charts that no one else notices, and sometimes it pays off well. Even as an ER scribe before PA school, I tracked down the insanely in-depth complicated admission that a patient had had a couple months before at a different hospital, which the hospitalist team we were trying to admit her to said she made up because "She gave us the same story a couple weeks ago when we admitted her and we found no such record, she's making the whole thing up, send her home" and refused her admission and called her a liar to her face. As a new grad now, I fear that wherever I get a job, they will just want me to see patients faster and faster.

[@amiesparkle00]

But what did you catch? Was she a liar?

[@grumbles]

@@amiesparkle00 Basically, she had the name of the hospital she insisted she was admitted to (across the country, where she was visiting) slightly wrong. Everyone was calling her a liar saying "we checked that hospital, they have zero records for her." I believed her though, so I looked up that hospital (she knew the city for sure) and then looked around on Google maps for other hospitals in the area by panning around, and found another one that had a similar name. I asked her if that could be it and she said "Yes, yes, that's right, that's the one, I was saying it wrong!" So we reached out to that one, and 20 minutes later they faxed us a massive pile of the records from her lengthy and very complex admission. So we called the hospitalist team back down, and I told them everything she said was true except she had the name slightly wrong, and handed them the pile, while the ER doc I was with that day had a big smile on his face standing behind them. They begrudgingly admitted her and apologized for not believing her story, including when she was admitted there the week before (but then discharged when they thought she was lying about her issues).

He IS so thorough.....the Apgar score cracked me up, because my doc does ask things about way back!! I'm in process of getting a dx, and am so grateful to have him! I feel like he would love this clip too!! I've seen a few of yours, and I laugh out loud every time. Thx for making the world a funnier, lighter, happier place!! ❤

“My histories take so long my cultures wait on me to finish” 😂😂

[@janellebutner72]

It may be weird but I really like taking patient histories and reviewing chart notes from other disciplines before going in to see them. I have coworkers that will go in for an evaluation with barely a glance at their chart which seems too strange to me. I also like to write detailed notes. They are probably more detailed than they need to be, however I can't count the times it's saved my butt in down the road. I was able to remember a patient I saw a few years ago because of the little blurb I wrote about him throwing up barium on me. Little things like that can help jog your memory pretty quick. I also received a letter of recognition during chart audits for my detailed notes on the selected patient. So you can believe by the time I'm done with you I've been all up in your past history and will write a lovely detailed note to pass on to the next medical professional.

I had a doctor ask me about my recent weight gain. I said I haven't gained any weight. She's looking at the laptop, says yes you have, you're 145 up from 130. I said they just took my weight, it's 125. She looks straight at me, says no it's not, you weigh 145 pounds. I say I didn't even hit 145 when I was pregnant, I've never been 145 pounds, I'm 5'1." I raise my arms like, "look at me." She looks at the computer and says, "oh, I'm looking at the wrong chart.". Would you write that in your notes? 😇

[@NorseForse]

Me-and my stem cell transplant patient friend and roomie (Multiple Myeloma/ASCT)- would like to THANK YOU for that! And encourage you to continue. 👍 Sometimes there are SO many things going on with one single patient, and so many different providers in different fields on a "team"-that detailed notes make ALL the difference! It's MOST helpful when they read each others' notes BEFORE entering the room. It can easily be the one thing that solves a medical mystery, improves quality of life (for caregivers too ;) ... and can have the added bonus of saving a life on occasion. You GO.👊

[@spidrawebster]

As a patient, thank you for this. Not everyone has a cut and dried medical issue and the details matter in piecing an eventual accurate diagnosis together and for coordinating care.

[@bluehorizons8913]

The only reason I have the amazing doctors that have saved my life a few times is by getting rid of doctors who never glanced at my recent history. I have lupus and take blood thinners. I can’t risk another doctor who doesn’t pay attention. It nearly costed my life.

[@FenrirWolfganger]

Anyone can write anything on the Internet, but the length of your post makes me believe you write detailed notes.

[@Sq517]

Omg I can relate to this so much as a research coordinator … I have patients with a chart as thick as a textbook and have to note down every single thing for the studies 😭😭😭

[@rjshakalaka5969]

I LOVE reading our ID docs progress notes. They are always the most entertaining.

[@megsharp8727]

Omg I love this!!! It's so true, I'm always so happy when I see an ID consult !

[@DarJadon]

Im laying here with back pain and watching these videos gives me laughs and giggles and relief from the pain. Love your comedy!!!

[@soundbite290]

Doctors in Britain don't normally ask if the patient has pets, but they should, because of toxoplasmosis and other reasons.

[@customerreview9853]

When you see ID come by, you go down on your knees and bow down as they save your patient

[@codyalexander9470]

These videos are the reason I'm not going in to the medical field. Also why I have so much respect for yall that are in the medical field

[@shirshodas3572]

History taking is something that takes a day to learn but a lifetime to master

[@thefireface2272]

APGAR on a 90 year old killed me.. Man you’re too good. Brilliant.

[@thezaftigwendy]

I absolutely LOVE doctors who take a GOOD history. Who get me to remember things I never considered a symptom. Only had two like that ever. Out of dozens.

[@rachelallison6651]

This is my favorite one you've ever done. I laugh every time. 😂😂😂

[@samuelenick]

‘Takes so long that cultures wait on me to finish.’ Maaaaaate

The most knowledgeable colleague I ever worked with was I.D. Also a real gentleman and humanitarian.

“you’ll just break in and see for yourself” Glad Dr. House could make an appearance.

[@plaggscamembert7465]

"I am gonna break you down and build you back up" Dude got confused whether he was talking about him or a lego house set 😂

[@philyune]

As an ID fellow, I feel flattered and annoyed at the same time when other docs copy and paste my HPI.

[@customerreview9853]

bc you save us time

[@TarynBeeswax]

Love the hard line between harrassment and breaking in. Some boundaries are not to be crossed.

[@AlexDeLarge1]

Having binge-watched House now, I see the influence in so many of these videos.

[@woshwbdsiashqwed]

FYI: APGAR score is given for newborns.

[@kirstiecampbell3176]

I love how, as a non-medical person, the comments sections help me catch all the jokes. Yay!

[@butter4934]

This is giving me House vibes. Dude doesn't quit for nothing.

[@averageheightwizard4798]

"You won't ask if patients have pets at home, you're breaking in and checking for yourself" Yup, that's House M.D

[@jessicagutierrez1808]

There's so many beautiful, hilarious, insightful moments in this short clip. I love you doc 💖

[@peising4189]

"I'm gonna break you down and build you back up", thanks for reminding me of why my doctors are so strict with me. No matter what I do they always find something wrong from me, which would sometimes demotivate me. I'm gonna keep this saying in my heart at all times esp during bedside teachings.

[@elainechan7155]

"Dude... Too far..." Hahhaa I'm dying😂

[@cutenerd1177]

I lost it when history of patient included apgar scores lol 😂

[@Newspaper2007]

“Cultures wait on ME to finish” is so good

[@Mommy_Paladin]

I'm not a doctor but I find all your videos hilarious and spot on as a mom to a medically dependent daughter😂

[@punkbunnee9558]

I wish regular doctors had time for this level of conviction. Too many patients, never enough time.

[@ApparentlyGoogledislikesmyname]

As a incipient hypochondriac, this would be my favourite doctor! I've dictated a Dostoïevski novel to some poor assistants a couple of times, when all they wanted was my temperature, blood pressure and weight.

[@samanthafox3124]

The worst patients 😂

[@amityislandchum]

Fortunately for them, you will never see an Infectious Disease doctor unless you are actually in the hospital with a serious infection.

[@Persephone-t5b]

@@amityislandchum it doesn't have to be a serious infection. It can just be an illness that can't be diagnosed and they send in ID after all the other Docs have tried and failed, HAHA! Usually they get the job done and get a proper diagnosis, but sometimes even the mighty Infectious Disease doesn't find the answer....as was my case.

[@rainbowzebraunicornpegasus2962]

ID at JHH found my daughter's Adrenal Insufficiency. All the other docs just wanted to pull her port. After the first two times of being septic with bacteremia, we really, really became even more anal about aseptic techniques. So why did she go septic 9 days after stopping antibiotics so many times?! Her body couldn't mount a response because she couldn't respond to any insult to her body at all. ID is who ordered the cortisol levels- which were critical. She gets IV hydrocortisone three times a day now. Now if she can get the use of her legs back...

[@saralee6710]

As a Virologist and lead consultant for our Infectious Disease department. I approve of this message. It may be different in the states, but we are like medical private investigators. I need to know everyplace you have been, who you have seen recently, what you've purchased, where your family went and who with, what you have eaten, where did it come from, how was it prepared, do you live near or with animals, what kind, where did they come from, who have you slept with, who have they slept with, the list goes on. We are as invasive as a prostate exam. Please be truthful. We do not care about your sexcapades on a pig farm in Cambodia, we simply want to figure out which wee organism is killing you, so just tell us... we will find out anyway, it's just preferable whilst you're in the hospital and likely treatable, not at the autopsy. Cheers!

[@rosemarieramsingh8749]

Hahaha as a physician this takes me back to med school 30 years ago! I love these!!! ❤️

[@marymac-ith1912]

"My histories takes so long cultures wait on me to finish" had me on the floor!😂😂😂

[@Shmolguy]

As an ID patient, the part where you almost called for restraining order to my doctor is real, and then I just realised it was actually their job 😂

[@a4tay]

The end reminded me of House when he (often) has his team break into patients homes trying to find clues or see if they're lying.

[@Addieg2008]

I'd love to see one where the overachiever student knows all the lingo and knowledge

[@MissMohz]

I facilitate practitioner peer review and can say that ID docs are rockstars of patient care & advocacy. And I also appreciate your sense of humor lol 😂 there is so much truth in your skits haha

[@c-light7624]

The ultimate detectives. Love a thorough doctor!

[@TseeDu23]

I just got done doing a full day of ID. All I can think about is Rocephin, ESR, CRP. 😭

[@jamesmantil429]

After talking with ID, I feel like if I just inject every patient with Rocephin, something good will happen even if they don't have a bacterial infection haha.

[@B0red379]

“You won’t ask if the patient has pets at home. You’ll be breaking in and checking yourself.” I immediately thought of House and got excited

[@Jakalope_Circles]

I swear I've seen this video before

He’s reuploading old videos that were originally in the fake account

[@patriciatoomingtheplantpar2558]

Yes, it's a repost

[@gothafloxacin]

The ID docs have saved my life multiple times. I'm immunocompromised and have had quite a few severe infections as well as sepsis 4x. Pulmonary and ID are such cool people.

[@sharongammell4111]

I was recently in hospital. From the ER to the first rotation of docs, all said that I would be there 2 or 3 days at most. The ID comes in and says, "Oh, I'll be seeing you later this week. 7 days, at least." I loved her! All the docs sent pics to the dermatologist, and I was out the next day with Clobetasol to take home. Except for the pain and itching, it was an amazing experience, and the docs and nurses were fabulous! We all learned so much with my severe contact dermatitis and cellulitis.
