I hope he gave you the sternest of stares.

Need a video on the ophthalmologist’s Thoughts on Scleral tattoos Doc

*nod*

After he telepathically gave you penance to do, I’m sure his abrupt head nod provided you with the peace you need to move forward 🙏

Did he nod in forgiveness?

It's like that war vet who is as hard as nails and nothing fazes him anymore, but he hides in his basement on the 4th of July.

This seems spot on for every ID doc I've worked with.

Not neurotic! "CAREFUL"!

ID is both 😂

And in doing so has made their childs immune system to the point that touching a clam can give them stomach cramps

Is that them or the intestinal parasites talking?

Lol I get that, my Hubs was just like that but with movies (BFA & MFA in theatre history). I finally told him that some are just escape movies & we don’t need a running dialogue on character arcs & script holes. 😂

At least you give your cards away and bloom the business

​@@Elizabeth-rq1viMy dad was the same way with airplanes!

@@Elizabeth-rq1viI have a 19 yr old exactly the same. Only no MFA yet.

Yeah but I’m learning things that are not applicable to my medical career in any way whatsoever

@@DGlaucomflecken Same.

@@DGlaucomflecken Is that a problem though? Learning for the sake of learning is worthwhile!

@@DGlaucomflecken Absolutely but idk if its the same culture in the US but where im from regular non medical people don't care if ur an eye doctor or a proctologist, they just kinda assume you know everything so its really helpful in day to day life to now general info on a big number of fields

​@@DGlaucomflecken* Hopefully never applicable to your medical career. It's the 2020's, who knows what fresh hell is up next?

I didn't know that and I had an aquarium for years. But my grandmother had tuberculosis when my mother was a kid, so my mother has taught us extreme hygiene.

Yeah stillwater environments are full of bad microbes. Lakes, ponds, tanks; full of stuff you don't want on you.

@@ankavoskuilen1725 Funny you mention TB because the bacteria that causes tank granuloma is in the same genus as the ones that cause TB!

Well, at least tanks are less likely to have barnacles than fresh ocean water at least...

Thanks for sharing your love of Aquariums ❤️🐠🐟🐡🦈ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ 💖. I admire your appreciation & talent & openness to scientific. Information.

Both of my parents were microbiologists. One was "sterilize everything!!!!" and the other was "let's see if it'll grow something interesting!"...

I worked in genetic toxicology. When our group went to restaurants, we actually had other tables move when they overheard our discussions 😂

My mom majored in microbiology in college and worked in a hospital laboratory for the first 5-ish years of my life before moving on to a different career, but 30 years later she is still like this. Once you know these things, you can't UNknow them!

@@kent-lang well ignorance can lead to less life and more death

My sister worked in a industry as a microbiologist.....she's a vegetarian. You should see her acting appaulded at the Christmas turkey....most of the time we just eat potatoes.

Most of the people who talk to themselves in Seattle are on drugs and/or mental illness rather than TikTok influencers.

I know, I haven't been down there in years. The tweekers outnumber the tourists

Lol yeah, when I visited Pike Place last had a couple of "interesting" characters try to talk to me. Still love the area regardless

Same. At least the candied salmon isn't sold from bins anymore. Lol.

⁠@@SpewnyBardthere’s candied salmon!? How’ve I never seen that?? I’ll have to try it some time.

Doesn't bronze actually have antimicrobial properties?

@@Adam___T that's why it's so adorable

@@Adam___T yep, most alloys high in copper are antimicrobial; like brass, bronze, copper-nickel, etc that weird smell that you have on the metal and on your hand after touching brass is the oils and microbes on your skin breaking down, cool, eh? :)

@@athenalol So that's why it's making me try to peel off the skin on my palms? Okay... Okay I have logic, I can feel it... That's not great.

How would you build a fort? Don't you know how many infectious diseases lurk in common fort-building construction materials?

That's my secret. I'm always dead inside from residency + fellowship

@@Ryujishida You notice a stare, then Infectious Diseases hands you a piece of paper and a business card. The paper is a long list of parasites and diseases found in bedclothes, and the card is a 10% off for nearby steam laundry.

I really like that idea

@@DGlaucomflecken all yours big boy

​@DGlaucomflecken am internal medicine resident and this is literally me planning my first vacation... let me know if you want any inspiration 🥲

Great premise idea! XYZ Character Gets To Take A Vacation is a great series concept in general. Could variously focus on their planning stages or the trips themselves depending on what suits each one

But don't start with ophthalmology; we already know how Jonathan travels.

HAHAHAH right??!

That is a good question. "What does a real vacation look like for a ID Dr?"

I'm wondering if the concern is infection or parasitism by the bivalve because both are legit

Back in school when we were making biology experiments, we had the task to take swabs from various places in the building and created petri dish cultures from that. I chose the coffee vending machine and ohh boy, that thing was more of a disease-ridden cesspool than the toilets and my caugh combined. I never got myself a coffee from a vending machine ever after again.

@@Psychx_I am very short and can see the underside of soda machines. Needless to say, I don’t buy drinks at fast food places anymore 🤮

@@gizmoduffy Understandable. Some things can't be unseen.

@JamillaF91 Don’t forget about Tabitha🔬😎

Oh no, I shouldn't have looked up that term! 😱

It suddenly seemed to become urgently relevant…!

@@ValleyOakPapertapeworm?

Knowing you're ID, your username is one of the best I've seen in a while.

you are an ID doc on the sidelines loving the beef btwn Cardio and Nephro 😂😂😂😂

Mostly diarrhea

*feverishly tries to recall Sketchy Pharm mnemonic*

I had to Google some of the things mentioned because where I live (Western Canada), most of our fish is coldwater fish that _allegedly_ doesn't naturally harbour dangerous bacteria for reasons that I can't remember(something to do with the water being too cold and the fish's resulting unique metabolism), and for parasites, all fish is flash frozen on the boat so that risk is neutralized before it ever even makes it to shore. It never even occurred to me all the nasty other things that can come with other types of fish - and a fish market itself is a whole other beast. 😳

That's great in fact ❤

Are you from Australia, by any chance?

@@reginabillotti I am indeed

What is actually safe? Cause I doubt anything is.

Have Jonathan and Texaco Mike ever been seen in the same place at the same time? Maybe, just maybe...

id goes to a petting zoo that texaco mike runs. that would be funny

@@spacelasertech8359 Nah, they're related. Distantly, but related.

hahahaha 😂

Yoooo i always say something. That’s nasty

It's also gross when they handle money and then food

The HACCP folder on a shelf in the storage room. Nobody ever read it, or got tought...as in most of the places

I also work in food service as a food safety specialist at a very corporate place, and this video could have been me. 😂

Big box employee here, our deli recently lost its cash register which is good because they'd use the same gloves to handle your cash then grab a stack of lunch meat out of the case

Ha ha! I drive my son crazy by telling him when food is bad. He's a Chef and of course trained in food safety. So he doesn't want to hear any more from his "crazy mom".😄

Hi! I’m a pre-nursing student. I’ve been looking for information on infectious disease nursing but it’s like hunting unicorns. Can I ask if you’ve got any advice for what certifications to get or any good sources of information on the specialty?

There must be quite the story there!

So which South American country did you eat raw pork in?

Had 2 patients in 1 day that had that diagnosis. Booth ended up in surgery, but with good results.

Guatemala 🤦🏻‍♂️ and thankfully no surgery but I do get seizures from it

@@3DDY1 Central America, close enough. Good luck on treatment. Hope your deworming goes well. Make sure to get a medical ID bracelet to let people know about seizures.

OH HOLY SCHNIKES, HOW DO WE NOT HAVE THAT AS THE STINGER ON THIS VIDEO 💀

@@angelagunn7986 He's saving it for the post-vacation therapy session. Which will be conducted with ID in the fetal position. 🥶

I don't think he would recover from that psychological breakdown.

He hasn’t done a phlebotomist yet, maybe he should 😉

Everyone in the navy is required to spend some time on the ship's mess deck at the start of their enlistment. I watched a girl from land locked Nebraska walk into a room where raw fish was being prepared for lunch. She had an IMMEDIATE anaphylaxis reaction and was evacuated to the corpsman's office. I heard that they punched her with an epi pen, discharged her from mess duty, and sent her back to her regular division. Normal mess duty is typically 60 days. Hers was 5.

@@jwrockets Being in the navy with a fish allergy. Goddamn, that'd be rough. I'm assuming she never saw a ship for her contract then since dietary restrictions and shiplife don't usually mix from my understanding. (God help her if she was a bubblehead.)

​@@roetemeteorwhat is a bubble head? Please and thank you.

​@@jwrocketsyou never know your allergic till you find out your allergic.

Cooties is actually a slang term for head and body lice.

@@loudidier3891 Not sure where you grew up, but here "cooties" is generally used by small children to ostracize someone of the opposite sex, claiming you'll catch "boy" or "girl" cooties from them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooties

@@ConstantlyDamaged Same where I grew up but the whole idea of catching cooties from touching came from the use of "cooties" for lice during WWI.

@@loudidier3891 Well, I certainly haven't seen it used in that capacity. Here, headlice are called what they are, while their eggs/young are simply called nits.

as another immune compromised person (although mine is milder) the answer is... "whats your risk tolerance?" because honestly? probably no... on the other hand your house isnt entirely safe either...

Saaaaaammme. I love my transplanted kidney so much… but I also love sushi and live concerts. And I ride the NYC subway daily. 😢

Love this idea! 🤣🤣🤣

He doesn’t. He knows better

Nope.

What does he do when you serve romaine lettuce 😂

Wait what’s up with watercress?

Oh wait I was thinking of water chestnuts. Must be the bacterial things like with other salad greens!

Yeah... Just so you can still have one (life I mean)

No kidding... Some of us don't spend our lives obsessing over every possible germ and swimming in hand-sanitizer. Believe it or not, there are those of us who still have a functioning immune system. I know, it's a shock, but... Has to be close to 30 years since I last had an infection that needed anything more complicated than a smear of neosporin or a week of E-mycin or SMZ/TMP, and I don't exactly hide in a "clean room". Not real practical when you make your living working "up close and personal" with livestock. Exposes you to all sorts of pathogens - that mostly curl up and die when faced with a decent immune system that's regularly challenged. (unlike office-folk, who, or at least, so it seems, somehow manage to catch every bug in the book by doing little or nothing but watching from a third floor window as somebody on the sidewalk below sneezes)

Sounds like the city should provide worthwhile sanitation then

It’s probably not from the cooked food but from all the surfaces that he touched. High density of people and little amount of thorough cleaning wii do it.

DO IT. I have a friend who got a cut from raw fish scales. By the time we persuaded him to see a doctor, he had mild blood poisoning and was half way to amputation of the arm. He had some aggressive antibiotics, he was fine, but if he'd left it much longer he wouldn't have been.

@@IHaveAVeryCommonName What kind of medical help did he seek? We set up a dermatologist appointment two weeks ago, but still have to wait three more weeks until the appointment. 😕

@@IHaveAVeryCommonName And, P.S.- obviously, I'm really glad your friend is okay!!!

Was really surprised he didn't. It's right there!

Me too, I just watched it 5 minutes ago 😂

Man, I saw a squirrel once with his eyes swollen shut from something. I tried to catch it to give it to a wildlife rescue but even blind squirrels are… squirrely. I got bit by it (I was trying to use a box) and my immediate reaction was “I’M GOING TO DIE FROM RABIES.” The ER assured me that rodents rarely carry rabies (which I think is bullshit because I know rats eat meat), gave me a tetanus shot, a scan for my finger (because in my haste I slammed the door on my hand), and sent me on my way.

So, how many diseases can a human catch from a squirrel?
