Lmao no comments

@@dewadewa8914 ikr it’s so weird lol

I was thinking who is asking these questions- I did wonder though when the surgeon said suck it up, I had minor surgery (femoral nail removal) and felt awful for 4 to 6 weeks, had loads of major surgery before it - turned out the wound was septic, and had formed an abscess- wondered why she assumed the person was being a wimp. Like maybe the person is unwell , I felt like I was being a soppy idiot and sucked it up. had no red Mark's obvious signs of infection except feel sick and being breathless. was mega infection

TOO FAIR

0:14 finally we found that 1 out of 10 doctors who don't recommend the toothpaste

Actually, I was the opposite of this ... I had a bad bicycle crash and the attendants didn't want to cut the skin-tight racing jersey off of me. The jersey was destroyed (lots of road rash), and I had a broken collar bone and some broken ribs so there was no way I could maneuver my arm/shoulder, but they still didn't want to cut it off. Moaning in pain, I had to be a bit firm ... and say: just f##ng cut it off!

Too relatable...EMT's sliced my favorite Nautica hoodie all bc my dumbass didn't have my alert card/bracelet on me

Yeah

@@spiffocyte5238 she’s not a primary care doctor, she’s not the first doctor you’re going to see, if talk to at all, because she’s a surgeon. She looks like she has the assertive personality to lead an OR. She’s not the doctor you’re making your chief complaint to.

@@chseer I mean yeah she's not primary care but I think it's safe to say a primary care doctor is just as capable of thinking of the patient as uneducated, and then discounting their experience because they think they know best. I think it would be quite reasonable to give a patient some say in their care if they can literally feel it in their body and it isn't explained and or/treated well.

Smart doctor would have recommended the person who was still feeling bad post appendectomy to go for a followup visit instead of saying "suck it up" yikes. If you should feel better 24-48 hours after surgery, and they don't, could be an indicator of a surgery related issue.

@@matth227 Sadly whatever humanity she had was probably beaten out of her in her training to be a surgeon. It's inhumane what it takes to become a doctor, especially a trauma surgeon. That's why I became a PA instead.

​​​​​@@matth227 She aint these people's surgeon therefore she doesnt actually know what's going on to say how to fix it. To call it lack of empathy when she doesnt actually know these people's medical history is such a 🤡 move. Sorry go to psychology if you want an empathic doctor lol you absolutely would not survive as a trauma surgeon and the horrors they go through with this, sorry, soft mindset about the world. I hope you do so you get a taste of reality where not everyone has to baby you when dealing with WAY more patients than just you. Going to twitter for a health problem instead of your actual doctor says more about the person than the lady in the video lmfao

Also not necessarily saying she's like those people, it's just anytime I meet another person who talks like this they literally are horrible or just trigger me. Being chronically physically and mentally ill is tiring, the medical field is supposed to be here to help us (and we pay them the most) but they're taught to treat us as less because we're not terminally or temporarily ill

That’s right and the best drs, including surgeons, are not going to be dismissive of a patient expressing concerns.

The question should have been: "how to make a makeshift tourniquet in an emergency?" As flippant as the surgeon is here, she's right on the money with questioning why not buying one for a first aid kit you are making yourself.

That was her way of saying, "I don't know but I'm too arrogant to say I don't know, so I'm going to pretend no one would ever need a makeshift one in an emergency."

@@hbic3 BINGO.

@@hbic3 yeah cuz she's a trauma surgeon not an emt.

I died on how she delivered it

This was the only response I had a quibble with. It's unlikely the person asking the question had been within 24 hours of the surgery, so there was likely some complication, in which case they should get it looked at.

It was relatively rude and unnecessary not to mention unprofessional to deliver the response in the way she did.

@@umloucobr4980 XD

Ayy Dr Mike?

It depends on the kind of surgery you get. Typically after minor operations like an appendectomy, discomfort and lethargy go away pretty quickly, usually between 24-48 hours. The Lingering effects of Anesthesia go away pretty quickly as well.

I think this is a huge lie too. I would be very surprised if this was the case, it‘s probably rare that people feel fine 24-48 hours after surgery. I couldn‘t even stand up without help five days after my minimal invasive appendectomy! I felt violated as nobody told me how bad it was gonna be, they all just told me it‘s a standard procedure and that I‘ll feel good after two days. It‘s a standard procedure for THEM! Not for the patient! You can only have an appendectomy once, how could that ever be standard for the patient?

I really wonder if she's had an appendectomy herself

I didn't make it to the 3:30 mark and I came to complain. this is the first expert interview video I didn't like

I agree. She is very condescending.

@@pony3284 and some of her answers are ambiguous

She wasn't dismissive. The advice of "seek help" was inherent in the advice telling you that you should be fine after two days.

@@td6460 the way the question was asked implies that it’s been a while since the appendectomy. The doctor was rude. They have a god-complex that makes them think they know best, when it’s truly the patient who knows how they feel. Doctor like this are why things are missed and people die.

How old were you when you got the surgery?

Haha, good choice for food though 😁

When you have someone who can get food for you .. is a blessing 🥰

McDonald’s pancakes. Every time. I don’t even have memories of eating them after one surgery, but I know I did because I woke up in my bed with a bit of pancake in my mouth.

😂

So.. basically all white person who only speak English?

Most of the people who actually do that are not intelligent, well-educated professionals.

@marlkalone7361: Hahaha!

She said appendectomies are minor… she never downplayed appendicitis

I don't remember her saying that appendicitis isn't serious. She said that appendectomies are minor which, when looking at other surgeries and operations, is very true.

Not the same thing though. Just eating charcoal trend is stupid, but charcoal itself isn't the same as a Tidepod. Tidepods are just toxic, period. Charcoal though is an adsorbent, and can be used in a controlled way when you know what you're doing.

@Isabel T Activated Charcoal can still cancel out certain medications especially ones used for depression/anxiety, birth control, some heart related meds and steroids for asthma inhalers.

@Isabel T She's talking about activated charcoal pills as an emergency treatment for ingesting poison. It has been shown to reduce the amount of poison absorbed after ingestion by half if administered before or at 30 minutes after ingestion of the poison. Edit: "ingesting"

Effectiveness drops drastically after 30 minutes.

@Isabel T Uhh I can almost guarantee a surgeon knows more about dental hygiene and nutrition than the average person. In fact, it seems very ignorant and dangerous of you to compare the health knowledge of a surgeon to an uneducated person. Surgeons go through years and years of schooling to get where they are. This is not a new thing. Unbelievable.

She seems to be the arrogant surgeon type, not explaining about the counting and just saying this happens because there is a lot of space. You're comment is great!

@@stefanycarrasco6245 she’s not explaining in depth because she has a time limit. Also just FYI wired has obviously cut this interview down they always do

@@stefanycarrasco6245 Or she took the question a different way. She could have interpreted as being how does it even happen in terms of space. So she answered about the space. She is also on a clock and supposed to move through not spend 5 minutes on each question actually going into detail.

HAHAHAHA you have nowhere NEAR the amount of education and experience as a surgeon stfu

Based

Yessss! Pee smelling like meat is not normal! She was so dismissive of that and even questioned why the patient would smell her pee, as if the smell doesn't come to you right after 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@stefanycarrasco6245 plus knowing your own body and its smells helps you when there’s something wrong

Yes, I thought she could have given an answer that would have helped a lot of people. But then again, she's a surgeon, not a doc that helps with these things. An holistic doc could have given more helpful answers in several of these questions.

@@RMBlake007 But if she's a surgeon then she would be a doctor as well? Either way I thought it was rather careless of her to blow those questions off like that.

@@splint3048 Yes, she is a doctor. Unfortunately, based on my vast experiences with doctors, they can often become "swallowed up" in their own specialties, and cannot see outside of the box they are in....which is why, IMO that this surgeon blew off so many questions...because she didn't have good answers for them.

I've heard that scalpels aren't actually super sharp, because sharp cuts take much longer to heal, I've experienced that too, with razorblade cuts and fresh glass cuts.

@@nipunagunarathne4882 nah, surgical knives are extremely, extremely sharp. Sometimes you'll get a melon blade or your knife will have made one too many cuts and it's immediately evident. They're very very sharp, and they have to be. The sharper they are, the more precise the cut is on the microscopic level. This is a good thing for healing.

Well, she seems really patronizing in a number of ways actually, and seems to be everything that's wrong with the medical profession in terms of her lack of bedside manner. She definitely is knowledgeable, but very condescending which is not going to get her very far with actual patients.

Not to mention cautery.

@@kitcoffey7194 Surgeons don't really do the day to day, hands on, explain it to you, let you cry on their shoulder stuff. For most things, the first time you see them is right before surgery (sometimes, not always) so they can quickly re-explain what your regular doctor has already explained, during surgery, and sometimes after surgery when they come to check on their wor-I mean check on you. All that other stuff is your doctor, the doctor whose shift it is, the nurses.

Yeah the best doctors have a wider-scope of knowledge and will be open to treatment possibilities and/or diagnoses. Most doctors are highly specialized so I guess they tend to view things through their own career experience, which can hurt a patient that is experiencing something they aren't familiar with. It's a big deal to put trust in someone like that and it would be nice to see her act on that with clear explanations not interrupted with reminders of how ignorant I am when I didn't go to school for 12 years about it.

I suspect that Onishi is just a bad doctor. Her attitude could put patients at risk.

lol literally

That question is a common meme.

I think the question is a joke, but even if it wasn't I don't think your surgeon is the one who you would ask. I'm sure urinary issues are some of the less frequent thins that they have to deal with

She's a surgeon. Not a urologist.

Even if it were a meme or joke, she got that "I'm a surgeon, pay me" vibe.

was that the actual liz gillies though? like

I have to agree. I was basically told I was being over dramatic by my doctor when I was still in bad pain a week after I had mine out when I was 14 . Turns out I have a genetic condition that causes slower healing so I indeed was in the pain I was saying I was in.

She gave a perfectly reasonable answer the the ACTUAL question being asked...They asked what to put in a first aid kit to make a makeshift one, she said just go buy a real one instead

I totally agree with you. She really is arrogant.

I merely bring it up to point out how that type of attitude in the medical field especially with something as serious as surgery, is insidious and harmful to those the system was created to aid.

@@oldankh those who have watched her on other videos know that she is really caring about her patients and she just meant this as a joke as the one who tweeted was obviously not really serious, we all know that no medical advice on surgeries can be given without knowing about the patients operating/medical history and their past and present condition. But would it not make the video boring if she keeps on saying 'I can't say anything for this particular case because I don't have the patients files'. On a side note majority of these minor operation don't lead to any complication and patients tend to recover really quickly, if the person who was tweeting was really serious than they would have not been wasting their time on twitter, it's social media for godsake, you gotta be able to see the humor.

Who tf is she

I felt like the response given was rude and unnecessary. How does she know what that person is going through? Maybe they had complications with surgery. Maybe they had a preexisting health issue. It was a very insensitive answer. Thank you for sharing lived experience with us instead of being dismissive like that.

yep, I had a minor surgery and was out of commission for weeks. turns out I had an autoimmune disease and stage 3 kidney disease no one knew about 🙃

Yeah I found that answer appalling, it's not at all an appropriate example of how to respond to a patient expressing concern about feeling really unwell after a significant surgery. Best practices aren't about assuming everything is like most cases, they're about being alert to catching the edge cases, and also about taking patients seriously so that the communication channel with them stays open down the road. I'm all for clinicians being on social media and sharing information, and I get that there are certain kinds of shifts in tone/increased casualness that goes hand in hand with that. But showing respect and concern about patient complaints shouldn't be subject to that. When you're speaking online in the role of a care provider, it's important to model that role correctly and help teach people that their clinicians will hear them out and care for them with sincerity. This communicates the opposite of that. This communicates "clinicians don't care about how you feel, they're going to judge you if you complain about your pain or discomfort, better not trust them with your questions". That's already a perception that's all too common, especially in communities that have higher rates of poor medical outcomes. Content like this contributes to that cycle. I'm not saying this clip/doctor is directly responsible for patient noncompliance or vaccine hesitancy or anything, I'm really not. But this clip is one example of tone/rhetoric that does irresponsibly perpetuate mistrust in the healthcare system, and then things like vaccine hesitancy occur at higher rates because of that broken relationship between the industry and the public (again, especially marginalized groups that already have reason to mistrust providers). It's not okay. We all speak a little carelessly by accident sometimes, even the most well trained professionals, I'm not saying this doctor is a bad doctor or bad person. Nobody is a perfect science/medical communicator 100% of the time. But this should have been caught by the doctor or editors as something to reshoot with a different answer or cut before publication. I've always liked Wired's material like this but this is a shocking disappointment.

@@rcusick2465 exactly :/ like. there’s no evidence they’re still in that time frame and it would’ve made way more sense to say they may want to come back and get it checked out if it’s been a while past the surgery? that person could be a month past surgery for all she knows lol

She was pretty condescending there. Any surgery can cause infections or things going wrong. She should've asked what was still bothering her. Fever? Redness? They may need further medical attention.

Well said, as a doula it’s my job to make sure doctors like her don’t push around clients, especially moms who are black,indigenous, women of color. also anyone that seems ghetto or hood (regardless of race) to the doctor turn into someone that doesn’t deserve the same standard of treatment as other patients

Thanks for calling it out. I would not want to have her near me if I were in a situation I needed a surgeon.

sepsis! jfc I hope you're recovering well. Yeah when my ovary ruptured and up walks someone who I know doesn't have em..... 🙄 spare you the details but it started with tylenol and ended with a morphine drip

The thing is, this person in Twitter is asking for medical advice. If a medical professional tells them to "suck it up" they're probably gonna think "oh ok, must be nothing serious then". Twitter isn't the place to ask for medical advice, but if a doctor tells you to suck it up instead of telling you to bring it up with a medical professional IRL, chances are you're not gonna do that. So although this is not a professional setting, her attitude might potentially still do harm, because here she's speaking in a professional capacity.

Not really, she couldn't even answer the first question lmao

A lot of surgeons r like that and aren’t American.

Oh, yeah. My grandpa had surgery (to remove gall stones, I think, but I’m not sure), and afterwards he had severe nerve pain for MONTHS-and the doctors weren’t taking him seriously about it at first, then settled on saying he had some kind of nerve condition they couldn’t diagnose, until finally they somehow figured out it had something to do with the surgery. Turns out they’d left a surgical sponge in him. They removed it and now he’s fine. My grandma (his wife, they’ve got really bad luck) also went in for eye surgery and the doctors somehow introduced some kind of infection into one during the surgery (which again took months for them to admit). She might lose an eye now. Sometimes American doctors have serious problems with not taking their patients’ concerns seriously-ESPECIALLY people like my elderly, low income grandparents with their thick Southern accents. It’s even worse for women and POC. You hear horror stories about doctors in the US military really screwing over female soldiers because they think they’re exaggerating the pain they’re in.

@@maggieburkart907 my god, that's not bad luck, that's doctors being irresponsible

This is for entertainment. Take everything with some grains of salt.

Same lol. She’s so condescending and unsympathetic

I ddnt like her either

People are too sensitive.

highly doubt she talks to patients like this

Had a dentist when I was like 8 who traumatized me because he ignored me when I said I could feel during the procedure despite numbing. Until I fainted. I was not given care- not only did he chose not to notify my mom, he continued the procedure without pause. Also my mom was NOT allowed in the room. I have no idea why my mom liked that creep so much. So SO many red flags.

I didn't bother to look at the question posts until i scrolled past this comment... good lord, 2009?!?!

She’s just straightforward & doesn’t waste time sugaring her words…..and half this stuff is common sense

@@jojosbabymama You'd be surprised by the amount of people that don't have common sense. I understand this is a lighthearted video, but a doctor that acts like this in a professional setting should be avoided at all costs. No matter how stupid a question might sound to a doctor, they have to answer. If someone asks me how to know if they need stitches, I'm not gonna make fun of their question. She wasn't straight forward. She answered like half of the questions, and made fun of pretty much all of them. She was condescending.

She was far less professional than other experts on this Wireded series I've seen. Condescending is indeed the word, although the person complaining about the shirt was pretty dumb.

Her reaction to the countdown question sounded really condescending. I've had a couple of surgeries throughout my life, and there are surgeons who ask you to count down. Not all surgeons do that, but she acted like nobody did that and Don'tMessWithPAPI was asking a stupid question.

@@Lian1286 agreed. In my experience, the times I've been put under anesthesia, they didn't ask me to count, but instead told me that I was going to start feeling very sleepy soon, and to relax and have a good nap. (even had a wonderfully hilarious doctor tell me "sweet dreams! dream something good, I'll see you later!" lolol). HOWEVER, my dad has had surgeries where they DID ask him to start counting back, and he still laughs about how he got to 9 then was OUT lol. Everyone has a different bedside manner, she shouldn't have answered for everyone as a resounding no, because some absolutely do have people count down.

because its twitter and not real medical evaluation, its just one question, not whole exam. Also she is a surgeon, not a urologist or first contact doctor, she might simply not remember all pee related diseases.

that is complete BS they do not smell urine in the lab

Exactly actually if your pee smells so much that you are concerned about it, it definitely means something, it's not normal for urine to smell too much or have a weird smell if your function is normal. Of course she's not going to diagnose a random person on Twitter but she could have said "well it can have various causes, you should consult it with your doctor if that worries you" or something like that instead.

Yeah as a nurse my nose is a HUGE tool. When we report stuff to the doc they often even ask us about smell. cdiff, GI bleed , UTI, wound infection, pseudomonas, all super distinctive smells

It's a fun video. She has what's called a sense of humour...

I agree. I have no idea what that surgery is but that was a terrible response and very condescending.

I don't think she's wrong. Appendectomy isn't a major surgery if the appendix is only infected. But in your case unfortunately it was ruptured (as you said) which can be life threatening. So, in short you had a bad luck. I hope you're fine now.

@@aster___4103 I am fine now, but how would she know whether the person asking the question had complications? For all she knows, they had issues like mine. Her answer did not need to be that condescending, and it would have only taken a few seconds to specify that its not major *without complications*. That attitude put me off the whole rest of the video.

@@aster___4103 Yes, that's the point, atypical recoveries happen and it's literally the physician's job to help be a resource for patient concerns and questions so that complications (and also just fears themselves) can be addressed. Her response irresponsibly communicates that patients shouldn't ask doctors questions about their worries because they'll just be condescended to and blown off. It's appalling. She reacted like a physician of some past century telling a woman with horrible period pain, indicative of underlying disease, to just suck it up. This isn't okay, it's bad modeling for both other clinicians and for the public, who already have bad enough mistrust in the medical community as it is. Especially people in marginalized groups who get blown off like this all the time already and already have disproportionately bad health outcomes.

Yes! I totally agree! Her answer was very inappropriate!

The real MVP! Thank you!

Yes you can also use a pen to tighten it in an emergency

@how did i get here? Annie did too. If you're planning ahead and making an emergency kit with a tourniquet, get a pre-made one that doesn't risk it breaking, but this fact is great if you weren't as well prepared

@how did i get here? the question was specifically on them putting together a first aid kit. (It would have been good if she also went into what to use if you weren’t as well prepared) but she answered the question she was asked

@@kenetabansi5016 yeah, technically she answered the question but let me overthink an emergency wilderness scenario for a second and say you needed more than one tourniquet but only stocked the one in your emergency kit.

I imagined having to reach inside to fix something near the rear of the diaphragm, without removing half the organs.

As long as she doesn't *leave* her arm in there ...

It was not. Happens more than you think, esp in trauma surgery if they need a large laparotomy incision.

I think the original tweet says that , the editors might have forgotten to add it in.

yeah, as it turns out, being glib actually potentially hurts people. I really hope they actually issue a correction or redo the video instead of keeping in patronizing and ableist garbage.

Yeah‚ that really rubbed me the wrong way. And here I was hoping she’d take the opportunity to address potential post-surgery complications. 😕

shes so arrogant

Based on much of this comment section; that's not hard to imagine.

@@nephicus339 What do you mean, that many people have experienced the same thing?

Um, yeah, that's generally the healthcare system in the US. 🙃

@@sapphiresupernova bruh, no.

@@teo2157 thank you.

I most certainly was not okay for like 5 days. The gas they use to distend your abdomen makes everything extremely painful. I couldn’t stand up straight for days. Anything done to your abdomen is extremely painful imo because you don’t realize how much you use your core for really…well, everything.
