Real DOCTOR reacts to CELLS AT WORK! // Episode 3 // "Influenza"

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

THANK YOU everyone for all the support of this series. This was my favourite episode to date, in terms of medicine it was crazy how much stuff there was and was good immunology revision for me! Apologies for the audio at the start of this one, it does improve. Let me know your favourite episodes down so I know what I've subjects I've got to look forward to...

What I enjoy, besides both of those things you mentioned, is how Dr. Hope segues into a simple biology lesson. Like HOW a virus is able to enter a cell and all the things that happen after. I feel it's easier to learn when both teachers and students are both enthusiastic about the topic.

Half the fun of these videos is watching someone who can pick up all the "in-jokes" with glee.

On a separate note, how unlucky is this person to get infected with two strains of influenza one after the other?

*Viral Infections* are one of the most interesting concepts in Biology to me.

It's so damn cool and smart considering Viruses don't have a brain or anything, yet seem so tactical. Love your vids as always! :)

[@oinkleberry]

Genetic molecules are mind-boggling.

[@Person01234]

It's not that surprising, evolution creates things that work, so with the length of time viruses and cells have ben going at each other it makes sense that what has developed gives the appearance of intelligent tactics, because intelligent creatures also develop tactics that work. Still cool though.

[@rolandaustria7926]

Stupid question: does a virus, bacteria, or fungi have DNA? I've read somewhere that DNA has instructions in it that cells follow in order to do what they do. So maybe what they have is like... instinct? Virtual Intelligence?

[@toobig7399]

​@@rolandaustria7926 Viruses are kinda like machines. They have a set of genetic instructions and they follow it. Its that simple.

[@TheMindofRa]

if I remember correctly I think there's some thought or evidence that viruses were developed by bacteria ages ago as a weapon but since viruses are imperfect replicators they are subject to the process of evolution. Fun fact: the reason why mammals carry their young inside is because our line was infected with a retro-virus that prevented our eggs from being laid.. so we evolved a way around the issue.

[@Kurotaka_]

Exam Question: How does the immune system fights off viruses? Answer: A hot macrophage slaughters the viruses with an axe. Then the macrophage rips out the antigen with her bare hands and reports it HQ.

[@purplytony7375]

Dont forget the smile which indicates a true passion for the job that the Macrophage was charged to do 👍

[@podemosurss8316]

Well, it's not so fatch off. The difference is that the macrophage EATS the viruses and then shows the antigen to HQ (which is called helper T-cell). Then the helper T-cell calls off T-killers and B-cells, as well as more macrophages and neutrophiles.

[@MultiGameKid108]

They eat them in later episodes

[@Ewa92ful]

Oh my god 🤣

[@iii7139]

I find the question of whether to treat the fever or not to be rather interesting. It's something I never thought about as one would typically see the fever as the problem instead of a side effect to your body trying to fix the actual problem.

[@Neko141212]

Yeah, you don't often think about it that way. I kinda thought the fever was caused directly by the virus and not to fight it. Knowing that's what the fever's there for, I'd probably actually prefer to keep the fever. If you're an adult - and not someone with a weak health in general - it shouldn't be that hard to deal with a fever. After all, you turn in sick from work when you get the flu, so you just have to lie on your couch and make sure to drink a lot of water/tea/juice/etc. to keep hydrated. If it helps slow down the virus a fever might actually mean that you'll get back on your feet faster?

[@animieloverable]

It's also kinda like when you have a fracture or injury and one of the body's first response is inflammation which promotes healing to the injured site. And it also has the interesting question on whether inflammation should be reduced by using medication and ice packs. I think that in very severe cases where inflammation may damage surrounding muscle and nerves is when I think medication should be used. So I think it's quite and interesting question. ^.^

What the hell do you mean no don't? Don't stop someone from pursuing their dreams.

[@saphirsatillo2357]

You need a doctor's degree and at least some work experience in order to have a final-tier position in the medical field. This particular field is notorious for being pricey, lengthy, and rigorous even before a doctorate's program. Thus, one should only major in it with genuine passion and interest, not merely on a whim. I believe Jonathan believed OP was thinking on a whim, which could prove to be a costly mistake in money and time. I took 3 years of medical in high school for EMT myself and decided to switch because memorizing 500 root words and other medical symbols/jargon as a "small warmup" of what's to come just wasn't worth it for me.

[@amateurstoryteller4929]

it's tough as you basically have to know everything. But it's fine if you love it. A piece of advice if you really want to pursue medical career, be strong and never give up. It can be stressful and busy and sometimes you'll be scolded (the doctors can be very strict to their students). You have lesser vacations too. But if you enjoy it, everything will be fine.

More like cartoon is a sub genre of animation. Cartoons are typically associated with a very different distinct style that is more focused on the younger population. What you say is only true for Japan, outside Japan anime refers to a very specific style made by the Japanese.

That shot of her from above is actually some really smart cinematography. Shot in the Dark but her dress seems to be her cytoplasm while her head is her nucleus. In comparison to other cells, macrophages have far more cytoplasm in comparison to their nucleus than their white blood cell cousins.

[@joelvannatta3266]

The Macrophage carries a hatchet, while other immune cells carry knives, because macrophages are large ("macro") enough to kill multiple pathogens at a time, while others are only able to kill one at a time.

[@nerdyrevelries422]

While you're on Crunchyroll, you should check out Black Jack! It's an anime about a mysterious unlicensed surgeon who charges outrageous fees because he's the only one who can treat the strange cases he gets. What's really interesting about the series is that the original author (Osamu Tezuka of Astro Boy fame, widely considered to be the father of manga) was originally a doctor before he started drawing manga. So while he does take artistic liberties, he knows when he's taking them. You also find out a lot about what the Japanese medical system was like in the 1970s. For example, did you know that it used to be standard practice to keep a cancer diagnosis from your patient because there was no cure for it, so telling them was considered cruel? Obviously this wouldn't fly today! Plus you get to see cool but ridiculous stuff like Black Jack operating on himself in the Australian outback to remove a parasite while dingoes try to eat him.

[@promatheus951]

That sounds pretty intense. I second this suggestion.

[@sdsign4229]

So basically he was a more douche-y "House"?

[@JudasFm]

I second, third and fourth your Black Jack nomination! It's more of a fantasy than Cells at Work (Pinoko, anyone?) but it's still one of the best medical animes/mangas. On a side note, the keeping of cancer diagnoses from patients wasn't quite as harsh as that. Doctors and nurses would tell the family and loved ones, and rely on them to break the news to the patient when the time was right. These days, this is no longer a matter of course, but if you ever go to hospital here in Japan (which is more usual than you think, as we don't have GPs here) you have to fill out a form. One of the questions on that form roughly translates as: "If it's serious, do you want us to tell you? - Y/N" I've no idea what the Y:N ratio is; it would be interesting to see.

[@kertaspaper94]

Hell Yeah Black Jack. One of the best shows I've ever watched on Animax.

[@DarkAura16]

As a medical writer trainee, I am enjoying this series immensely! Listening to your opinion on every aspect of the anime is really fun to watch and to see you react to! Plus, it's also facinating to get your breakdown on the more technical parts. While watching Cells at Work, I was amazed that many of the medical terms I was studying during my internship were not only referred to throughout each episode, but were also used as specific plot points/characters. It's a wonderful show and I sincerely hope that you continue to watch and enjoy it! Thank you for your reviews!
