As someone who works for a specialty department in the veterinary field, it enrages me that these writers don’t seem to realize that veterinary cardiology specialists and exotics specialists EXIST and do these procedures EVERYDAY. Zoos literally have veterinary wings to take care of all the animals. There’s no way this animal wouldn’t be treated at the zoo in their surgical wing or, worst case, at a veterinary hospital.

A regular person who isn’t a covered entity or associate under hipaa, does not have to abide by it. Just like during the pandemic, when people threatened to sue stores for asking what conditions they had that prevented them from wearing masks. Those were not violations of hipaa. Grocery stores and retail stores and such, cannot violate hipaa. If any were sued, they went nowhere.

Yes, a panda heart and vascular system is dramatically similar to a human being. However, it's not done in a human hospital. It's done at the vet hospital located within the zoo. See the veterinarian hospital at the San Diego Zoological Society Safari Park in Escondido, California. We had a baby gorilla born here with a common heart defect some years ago. The vet phoned a cardiac surgeon at Children's Hospital. Ultimately, the animal got the best of care by doctors and nursing volunteers within the veterinary hospital in Escondido. The baby gorilla had volunteer ICU nurses around the clock.

In defense of the TV Show... In the past, there have been incidents where exceptions were made for special circumstances, particularly around rare and endangered animals in dire trouble at the zoos... things LIKE the pandas. AND yes, even human hospitals have allowed for bringing the animal in to be imaged and for loans of their specialized equipment to the zoo staff and associated veterinarians to use... BUT these (and there are very few) were very strictly kept at "one time only" situations and considered highly experimental at the time... For the occasions that it worked out or went well enough for "proof of concept", then the veterinary groups were empowered to move forward on developing their own tools and systems, which by nature of being "specific to veterinary science" were better developed to work with animals of species other than human or hominid... Some pretty great progress has come about because of experimental circumstances being allowed... The show DEFINITELY took liberties with just how willing or liberally the hospital would've treated zoo staff and imported vet's to oversee the panda procedure, and outside of the loan of an MRI or similar machine, as far as I know, the equipment and any personnel involved were dispatched to the zoo or an associated veterinary care facility (animal hospital or well enough staffed veterinary clinic)... The MRI's and such were just too big and sophisticated to loan out, so sometimes, yes, the animals had to be brought to the equipment as the most reasonable way to proceed. ;o)

This is like watching medical shows with my parents, a pulmonologist and an ICU nurse, their reactions are even more entertaining!

As someone who occasionally goes to the zoo, I can confirm that a pandas heart is the same as a humans.

I had something similar to a catheterization lab done on my heart when I was a child. One of the valves in my heart wasn't opening up all the way. The doctor ran a tub up to my heart through a vein in my leg, blew up the balloon, and essentially ripped the valve open wider. Just had a cardiologist look at my heart via an echo for the first time in 20 years. He was amazed because he couldn't even detect anymore that I had even had heart surgery. I had had a total healing.

Chicago Med is such a guilty pleasure show for me! It's so dumb and dramatic, but I can't stop

Although it was only a regular procedure because most of the vet clinic in my area do not have all the medical equipment but they only do procedures that are done for animals using similar equipment and the main veterinary procedures are done by veterinarians. I does not really make sense because the doctors train on the human body and not other animals. I heard from a veterinarian that even they specialize on certain animals and cannot just do procedures especially on exotic animals (being exotic you don't get to train on operating on them or you'll just end up adding them to the endangered species list).

So why didn't he put himself BETWEEN the door and the dude, or at least try to?

We've seen many times in this show how good ethan is at this kinda thing but also how much he is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of others, he did in this episode too. There's simply no way ethan would tackle the dude in the direction he did.

There was a hippo born prematurely at the Cincinnati Zoo, and NICU staff from the children's hospital helped with her care. I remember seeing comments from many parents of children who had been born prematurely saying that following this hippo's progress had helped them. My mom liked hearing about the hippo's progress in part because of her experience with my brother's short NICU stay, and my brother was 14 when this happened. And aside from the emotional help this hippo gave to families of NICU babies, I'd imagine that doing procedures on a different species presents a great opportunity for professional development. It would make the person performing the procedure have to be more aware of anatomy and analogues structures in a way that they probably haven't had to think about for routine procedures in a while, as well as offering an excellent exercise in collaboration with other professionals, since the human medicine professionals would probably be far more adept in actually preforming the procedures whereas the vet medicine folks would have a better understanding of the anatomy.

My little sister got the keyhole surgery for appendicitis, two years after I got part of my stomach removed for the same thing. 39 years later, I still have a 4"*½" scar across my tummy. It had apparently been huge, full of really yucky stuff, and about to burst. The surgeon came to see me the following day, absolutely thrilled to have done the op. Partially because he said that arriving half an hour later could have been fatal, but because he managed to get it out in one go and pickle it. He apologized to me - an 18 year-old who _hates_ hospitals! - for not showing it to me. Some doctors are freaking nuts! Don't get me wrong, I'm genuinely still very grateful he saved my life, but he was absolutely warped 😂.

Maybe that's his shtick for getting the patient's mind off from feeling sick. By making them sick with his stories.

I don’t think anyone understands the excitement that entered my body when I opened KZread and saw this video. I religiously watch all three Chicago shows (Fire, PD, Med) and have seen almost all of Mike’s videos. This video made my day! Thanks Dr. Mike!

Me too!

Thank you Dr. Mike for this information and I absolutely love how you react to different shows! 👏👏 Going to get a little vulnerable here, my uncle (mom's brother) has this exact cancer and we don't know how long he has to live. Just taking it day by day with him; unfortunately, like you mentioned, it's a very aggressive cancer. If you want, (I don't know if you've heard of him), he was a cancer patient who ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His name was Terry Fox. Maybe you can do a little medical commentary on how he ran with only one leg across Canada? Again, just a suggestion! Thank you again for all that you do and keep it up! 🎉🥳✌️

I love that response! "Yeah. That's the easy part. The hard part is thawing it out and having it still work."

For the record, yes that is the device that does chest compressions. It is used in the vitrification process currently used, as they think we'd need to replace the blood with something more akin to antifreeze so it won't expand when solidifying at low temperatures, otherwise that expanding and blood would form spikes that'd rupture cells and damage veins/arteries/organs. To replace the blood with another fluid, you'd need the heart to continue pumping, ergo, chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions.

The stuff inside the cells already forms ice crystals and destroys the tissue being frozen, so that sounds like a huge waste of time.

The CPR machine at 15:30 actually turns out to be necessary. Tom Scott did a video on Storing dead people at -196°C where they mention they need to do cpr to keep everything oxygenated untill the body is cooled down enough.

But that sounds like it's assited suicide given the current methods destroy the cells

i was watching this in the hospital last night haha was kept in for observation but your vids always get me thinking so i was very observant whilst there ahah

As someone works in vet med. Stay away from the panda 😂 that's a wildlife vets expertise😅 Edit to add: When they sleep, their pulse beats 70-120 BPM, awake it's approximately 100 BPM and they have a respiration rate of 20-40 times per minute. Adults eat up to 40kgs of bamboo a day 🤣

Mostly because they're omnivores that are trying to be hyper-specialized herbivores. Poorly.

If someone on TikTok brought their dog to a human dentist instead of Vet I think I'm gonna blame this show 😂

15:05 he’s not trying to commit…

Omg the social media one pissed me off so much because of how toxic the situation was.

The 'Ubethejudge' bit are super ridiculous and hope nobody ever makes decisions that way. Letting others decide what you should do is mental.

I agree 💯

It was a chest compression machine. The cryogenic process includes keeping circulation going while adding in a biological antifreeze compound and draining the blood. It apparently works best using the heart itself rather than a bypass machine. The antifreeze compound replaces all the fluids in the body, so the cells can be cooled to liquid nitrogen temperatures without the fluids freezing - which would shred the cells.

12:07 that's what happened to my dad: lost feeling in his hand on december 1st 2018, he got to the hospital just in time before he had a seizure, moved to another hospital, got surgery on december 6th, started chemo/radio therapy soon after, passed away june 22nd.

“I don’t know why, I’m entertained by this” And that Dr. Mike, is how I became addicted to this show

I love Mike’s vids because I enjoy watching him a) get really frustrated with things like this and b) go on and on and ON with random long medical related words 🤷‍♀ Keep up the great work Mike!

2:56 she’s actually right. Zoos rent pandas because the public loves them so much and it brings more foot traffic

This was SO funny! I'd love to see more of your reaction videos 😅

The editing is just *Chefs Kiss*

I just recently binged the entirety of Chicago Med, and I have to say, it's one of the best medical shows ever. Yes it has some goofy stuff, but generally it's so good. Great video Mike! ❤

I've wanted to watch it, but I find that the Chicago shows have so many crossovers you have to watch them all, and I don't have that kind of time. Although, if the Writer Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes continue, I might get there :)

@@dietcokeofleftists In my own experience its not too bad. Whilst they do have story arcs, its not full on anime level, so you can watch episodes out of order without getting lost too much. And there are sites to keep track of the crossover episodes, like wikipedia.

Please do more of these! The show looks great but as a non-doctor its great to have someone explain the terminology and so allowing me to understand. Great video Doc!

5:53 that shot with the panda is hilarious 😂😂

I love Dr Mike reacting to medical dramas, would like to see more of reality show medical scenes😊

My husband had a stroke and it turned out to be this exact situation as the Panda, they did the balloon, and now he's fine!

The wound on his finger shows how dedicated he is to his work.

As an X-ray tech I appreciate Chicago med because it at least acknowledges we exist and doesn’t just have doctors doing every scan. They have definitely taken liberties with the imaging they do on the show my personal favourite being a CTPA scan being performed in a stroke ambulance

I just found your channel, and I can tell that I laughed a lot with your reactions during the zoo surgery episode.

We appreciate Dr Mike's insights. Seems like he's well versed in his own medical practice.

Mikes frustration is truly entertaining and educational, he's the best

8:50 I actually went home from work one day because I thought I had food poisoning. Lots of cramping that evening, then I was super sore the next day, but I felt better so I went to work. After a week of being sore and having a low fever I went to the hospital to find my appendix had ruptured but my body walled it off and formed an abscess instead of me going septic. Had to spend a few days getting that sucker drained, then another month for it to close up before taking the little bugger out. Bottom line don't be like me, folks. If something hurts, see a doctor.

Doctor Mike you need to start a youtube channel on biology lessons for high schoolers and post-secondary students because what I learn in class was never explained properly, but by watching your video I learned so much more with how simple you explain it.

I wonder how many takes it took for these actors to say some of these lines. "I have never done this with a panda" was just delivered so solemnly.

Doctor mike be saying stuff my brain can’t even begin to comprehend kudos to any mes students and medical workers for being braver than most!!❤🎉

I am a veterinarian. We have specialties. We have surgeons. Wholes sometimes we do use hospital equipment such as MRI there is no need for a human doctor. Where did he learn bear anatomy? We are not just veterinarians. We are veterinary physicians and are on the same level of knowledge and sometimes better than human doctors. Have respect for pur professions Chicago med. How dare. And yes Mike you are correct they don't need any veterinarian. They need a wild animal veterinarian. Also they need a team of technicians that are trained in large animal surgery. Also how the hell did he just prescribe medication to a creature he doesn't even know? Dosages vary a lot depending on species(it's why you never give dog medication to cats). When veterinarians deal with exotic animals we are unfamiliar with we often have a technician with a dosage handbook that is prepared at any time to instruct with proper dosages. It's why usually veterinarians have libraries in clinic full of handbooks with illustrations and information on species differences.

I find it hilarious that right after dr. mike did the AirUp sponsorship, I got an AirUp ad......BAHAHAHAH

Even in a world where human doctors DID operate on animals, everyone's smug faces looking like, "you WILL do this, like it or not☺" would make me decline no matter what. Hahahaha.

13:55 Tom Scott covered this exact subject in a video no more than a few days ago.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS please do more Chicago med!!!!!! Love that show so much!❤

Laparoscopy is sooo interesting to watch. I've watched one here in KZread. I thought it was gonna be messy and bloody, but surprisingly it was neat lol It's also interesting knowing how the abdominal cavity and organs look like.

The cryogenic thing is somewhat accurate actually. The process is indeed called vitrification and they do the chest compressions thing! Tom Scott did a very interesting video on that a few days ago

It looks like she can't help but laugh while delivering the lines @3:00

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS i love this show n i love seeing ur reaction to it !!!

I love how Worked up Mike gets watching these shows. I mean it's understandable but hilarious.

I honestly saw an episode of Court Cam where someone was performing plastic surgery while on Zoom taking care of a traffic ticket. They respectfully ended the Zoom and scheduled it for a later day

I love watching Doctor Mikes vids. And I love when he reacts to shows and just gets frustrated because of the medical inaccuracy or from the random things in it😂❤also what happened to your finger?

Just me or does Doctor Mike make medical dramas more fun to watch 🫶🏻

Thank you for making me anxious that anything can go wrong at anytime with my heart, blood pressure, brain, and so on... and I am still watching ^^ (currently struggling with restless legs and arms... probably alcohol induced... not even speaking of my feet that kill me if I dare to sleep on my belly probably cutting of some ... "channels"... no idea.. who am I talking to?

I enjoy watching these medical drama vids but can we all appreciate the panda. They have a really promising career in their future. Hope to see them in more shows

You make learning about medicine much more fun and entertaining 🥰

heyy i have an atrial septal defect! got it repaired when i was very young, super cool to hear you talk about my health condition lol!

My immediate thought when Dr. Mike said ''Your husband's heart problem's complicated'' was that portion of the song from Without Me, I love this !!

My mother died from Glioblastoma Multiforme. It was cruel, unmerciful, and I lost her in 2003. I still miss her. Is it genetic? I was told it's not, but now I'm scared. She passed at at age 67. I'm going to be 60 in October.

So here's the thing about the panda and public relations. I live in Cincinnati, and a few years ago, the hippo at the zoo had a preemie baby hippo that was the earliest gestational age of a hippo in history. When they were trying to save her, the vets couldn't get good IV access. So, they called Cincinnati Children's Hospital and their NICU IV team came over to the zoo and got a line in the hippo calf. It was a HUGE news story-- like a lot of PR. (Yes, the hippo lived and she's kind of a city icon)

This channel's editor deserves soooo much kudos, the editing is just awesome

Please watch the entire series, I absolutely hate romantic medical drama shows but I saw a clip of Chicago med and got sucked in so bad that I literally bought peacock just to watch it as a broke college student. I liked the psychological aspect as the show contains quite a bit of psychological disorder patients and one of the main characters is a psychiatrist. I’m a social work major so I loved that aspect.

Thank you for inspiring people to peruse medicine! Keep it up! ❤

This is my favorite way to watch medical dramas. They’re a little too Gorey/ suspenseful for me to watch, but watching Dr. Mike pause the scene and laugh at it helps 😂

Doctor Mike, you're so talented!

the fact that the lady did a blood transfusion directly is hilarious!!!

I have waited for an updated one!!!! I love this show and you so much so this is great! ❤
