Hope you are all well! For clarify; I said that the gonococci character was likely pink in colour as gram-negative bacteria (like gonococci) stain pink on gram stain. However he also looks quite purple as well, which is actually the stain colour of gram-positive bacteria (gonococci is NOT gram positive). Probably something I should have talked about... And I wanted to make sure that was clear, just in case someone was about to sit an exam! Have a super week everyone.

BTW, I looked up the colors on the hats of our two protagonist red blood cells, and the one in cells at Work (regular) has a lighter color than the one in Cells at work Code Black edition. Being cuurious and wanting to know why I looked it up, and apparently "darker" red blood cells "carry less oxygen", and this would indicate things like, say the person is a smoker. Being extra curious, I took a color sampler to the two shows, and indeed, the color of the red blood cells in Code black are darker than the ones in the regular show.

@Lazy Katt Might just be a character design thing. CAW:Black has more recurring neutrophil characters, compared to the main CAW series which mainly only focuses on U-1146, with most others being background characters. The bits of subtle color plus different hairstyles helps viewers better differentiate the neutrophils in Black.

I love how as the bacteria is dying it says “what the CELL is this?!”

I also commented on a different doctor's reaction video. Gonorrhea is expressed in 淋病. The former represents gonorrhea and the latter is a disease. Japanese 淋 means *Lonely = Samishii* literally. Also, it means *dripping/drop* in China. In lonely wise, we use 淋 and 寂. The former is literally loneliness (someone is in a forest in tears), and the latter is emptiness or void. Some Chinese friends explained this character differently from mine, but this is a Japanese anime, so gonorrhea means a Lonely Disease in this case. I think you've gotten the point ;)

The virus saying "lonely" repeatedly is more likely a reference to how Gonnorhea is written in Japanese. The first Kanji used in writing Gonnorhea is the same one that is used to mean Lonely. In english, this would probably translate to him constantly repeating "Gone. Gone. Gone."

Hi! My seven-year-old daughter is a big fan of your videos on "Cells at Work!" Thank you for the entertaining and informative videos. (Obviously, my daughter hasn't watched the Code Black series.) My first language happens to be Japanese, and I have a piece of information to explain why the virus said "I'm lonely." That is probably because the infection in the Japanese language is with a Chinese character (Kanji) that means loneliness. That is not the only meaning of the Chinese character. Another but less common meaning the same Chinese character has is "dripping," and that is rather the reason why this Chinese character was used to describe the sickness. Most Japanese speakers think of loneliness rather than dripping when they see the Chinese character, and that is probably why the design of the virus character represent the former meaning.

It’s not just the health industry. As a former retail worker I can say that people in any service job will encounter screaming clients/customers/patients, and have higher ups who don’t seem to have a clue about what’s really going on in the field. 💢

Thanks for mentioning that gonorrhea can infect other parts of the body! Eye infections from gonorrhea can also occur from bedroom activities so please be careful and think about your activities when having sex everyone. STDs don't only affect your downstairs.

One thing (of many) that I really like about the Code Black spin-off is how it treats medicine & medication. It shows how effective and useful modern medicine can be, but also how it can be overly relied-upon to manage problems originating from not taking care of oneself. These two episodes are a great example; first this guy takes medication to make his willy work, then immediately takes something else to deal with the resulting STD. Obviously there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking medication for an infection or to help with a deficiency, but in this case the pills are an excuse for poor decision-making and bad health choices.

Yep. In Canada we use Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM (intramuscularly) as a one time dose along with Azithromycin 1g PO (By mouth) in a single dose. Azithromycin preferred because we assume patients are co-infected with Chlamydia. We use one time doses because patients can get odd when told they have an STI and are more likely not to come back so we give them one time doses so even if they don't come back we know their infection is being taken care of.
