Doctor Reacts To FUNNIEST Onion Medical Headlines
I've been a fan of The Onion for many years. For those of you unfamiliar, the onion is a satirical newspaper that focuses on current events. I have seen it trick people on Facebook before. Anyway, let's enjoy a nice laugh during a difficult time such as this.
If you have an idea of something you want me to cover in-depth, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. We will be back with more Medical Drama Review/Responding to comments Series in a couple of weeks so please submit more names of shows/questions you'd like for me to watch/answer. Love you all!

Sorry to say this Doctor Mike... but I saw you as a character in one of the gay books in wattpad and you're the bottom lead... I won't tell you the book though. If you tried to open up wattpad and search for fictions about you, they are all gay and 90% of them you're the bottom.
Omg I feel that last one though 🤣 I’ll eat a lot of carbs like pasta or a Hawaiian roll, feel guilty about not eating healthy, consider eating vegetables so that I can digest the carbs so I don’t gain weight, but then panic bc that’s still eating more food 🤣🤣🤣 PSA: please don’t eat one bread roll for an entire meal, I’m talking about a full dinner. Eat when you’re hungry!
“Does your doctor have crow feet (?) ? That means they care” *Zoom in to Doctor Mike’s eyes* 👁 👄 👁
3:00 Notice Dr Mike never actually answered the question...
Dr. Mike's "it got me" truly made my day!
2:10 reason number 806 on why the current insurance system sucks. because it results in stupid negotiation concessions like this, where an arbitrary line is the difference between covered and not covered.
They were talking about Russian pets :) If you know you know xD
The fact that you spent a half hour on the phone with the insurance company for a patient shows what a caring Dr you are. Most would leave it up to the patient to deal with.
I enjoy Doctor Mike’s videos. He has a way of being informative and yet getting a good giggle on the way. I just wish that I had found his videos before I met the guy who said that he was a surgeon after my husband died. He took me for everything
I love the onion
I liked Despondex. The depressant drug for the approximately 20 million Americans who are insufferably cheery.
If my doctor brings in a medical assistant without my permission, is it okay to tell them that I am uncomfortable with that?
Doctor Mike I know it might not be something usually on your channel but if you could talk about the difficulties in areas with limited doctors or insurances blocking you from finding an appropriate doctor for you. As a woman of color with a number medical conditions I have been dismissed multiple times. However what makes it worse is my insurance won’t cover those doctors that are appropriate for my care....
ok look youtube, just because i have watched almost nothing but Dr Mike the last 24 hours doesnt mean i want med school
Are you sure about that?
In the Computer game "Life & Death', you can start appendix surgery without gloves, drapes, hand washing, or, betadine! The Chief of Surgery does get upset, though.
7:07 same thing in korean entertainment industry. You must have "american teeth" in industry
I would like Dr Mike to read thirsty tweets . I like his laugh
Lol
Just switch the bracelets on the baby
Dude they lauphed at yhe grandfathers being switched but it litteraly happened in a hospital they switched two old man's bodies and it's only by curiosity one family opened to see the corps to find that it's not theirs
Wouldn't that happen at a morgue

Hmm... I was at my university's medical center (about 15 years ago so maybe things have changed) and my doctor brought a student in. Like an undergrad student. I wasn't asked. She never touched me or did anything to me so maybe that's why, but she did observe. Then again, this same doctor told me I had anxiety when my ICP was so high I started going blind due to pseudotumor cerebri so...
American obsession with perfect (looking) teeth causes more issues than it cures.
If the physician has both a medical and veterinary degree, you could get the same primary care for your pets as well as the rest of your family, but that is veeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrry unlikely. Almost impossible even.😜
If they didn't do it wouldn't there be no patient privacy unless they talk about what they did do
🤣
now i know where anti vax moms came from, the onion
I remember 6 years ago when I thought this was real 😭
I mean I got misdiagnosed with liver failure when all I had was a bad gallbladders. I didn’t find out I was actually in the last stage of my liver failure when they removed my gallbladder and took a sample from my liver. Talk about ptsd from doctors
American health insurance providers fill me with existential horror and if the NHS crumbles, I'm offing myself.
Dr. MIke...seriously....I listen to Alex Jones...we are not idiots. He can be a little over the top sometimes, but we are not idiots.

7:30 that reminds me an episode of F*R*I*E*N*D*S, where Ross overused a whitening product and his teeth glowed in the dark...
the zoom while he says “does your doctor have crows feet? that means they care” i’m losing my mind that was perfect editing
There's an ELderly Living Facility called Sycamore Living. Say it slowly. (If you havent' gotten it by now it's Sick Of More Living)
I remember a pediatrician who finished using liquid nitrogen and shouted, "MOVE AWAY, I'M GONNA DUMP IT ON THE FLOOR!" She proceeded to dump it on the floor and it was pretty awesome, ngl.
😆
Dr. Mike: "If you overbleach your teeth, it will make your teeth sensitive and it will hurt. Be careful" Ross: *nervous sweating*
Daum dude haven’t seen the onion in a while
Yes, letting it loose. Nothing weird about thattttttt
Remember that episode of Friends where Ross had a date so he over bleached his teeth? The girl had a black light in her living room and his teeth were glowing in the dark... 🤣🤣🤣
1:40, also the beauty trend of removing the pinky toe.
The Onion started in Madison Wisconsin. And their gritty journalistic realism and integrity is epitomized by headlines like: Giant pizza slice shaped alien space ship lands on Capital Hill . Aliens children as food objects.
I'm sans
Find the right SURGEON! 1st guy wasn't a sarcoma specialist and talked about all of these revolutionary sarcoma treatments....and never even did a biopsy!!!! Thankfully found a surgeon in Seattle who is not only a sarcoma surgeon, but so talented and great bedside manner. So great they refer to him as 'the dragon' ....and his young residents were always extremely good looking when they came into my hospital room after my surgeries obviously not necessary but such a great bonus! ;) hahaha!
09:00 "Eating well past the point of feeling full" - I have never forced myself to eat an extra 1/4lb of salad because I thought it would be going to waste.
Doctor Mike: "It's called a diffibulator" Erm.... deffibrilator?
6 million subs and I've never heard of this channel.
So I was getting a condition looked at, and the examining doctor wasn't really sure what the cause was. Then brought in another doctor and she was like "wow." and the first goes "I know, right?" and there I am just standing there hoping they can just figure out a treatment because I've been waiting for a month for this appointment, suffering from my condition. I glance behind and see there's a med student there too.
Funny enough my father went on a diet, he is 6 foot 4 inches and weighed over 320 lbs, he eats a lot. He went on a pretty much zero carb diet, but eats like 6 massive salads a day, and/ or eggs and bacon ( almost 12 eggs and a pound of bacon ) I tried to tell him eating healthier doesn't work so well if you still have massive portions. He has lost almost 30 lbs so ill give him that...
Throwing shade at Alex Jones... he deserves so much more than shade being thrown at him.

Dude 1:47 isn't even a joke
I was in the US once, and had an injury (fell down steps and hit my head off the wall) and I saw the bill, and I freaked out
OH! THIS is where karens get their “medical” advice!
I live in Germany, and I have NEVER once been asked beforehand if I was ok with the doctor bringing in a student. I normally don’t mind, I mean, They need to learn, of course. But when I had my wisdom tooth removed, I was conscious, the local anesthetic wasn’t doing well for me, I was in pain durin the whole 2 hours it took the doc to remove all 4 teeth and cut my lip band.... and the guy brings in a student while I’m lying there bleeding, crying, and starts EXPLAINING in detail what is going on and .... Yes, I still have flashbacks sometimes and I’ve gotten a lot more sensitive with anything related to my mouth. That guy was awful, never went there again :( my point is: yeah, please ask before bringing in a student. Sometimes it makes me as a patient feel like an object or “an interesting specimen”.
stop
Not even lying my first child i was in already medicated when i was asked if some medical students could observe..... I would not have said yes normally so for my next 2 kids i specifically stated no students months ahead of time. I did allow one student or trainee in for the 2nd one only for the epidural placement phase
You say chest compressions but only if the person hasn't got a detectable pulse right? That's one of the benefits of an AED, it detects the rhythm and calculates whether the person is in need of a shock and whether they need CPR. Wouldn't it be bad to give someone chest compressions if their heart is okay?
Wish we who have to deal with the VA got a choice in who our primary care physician is but we don't might be why the VA has more bad outcomes than any other medical group in this nation.
When I was 33 I had a stroke, I was 135lbs and 5'8". I didn't smoke, I wasn't on birth control, I exercised every day!! I was admitted to a teaching hospital and the residents were adorable!! They asked to come in and observe, around 10 of them, trying sooo hard to hide their excitement! I have never been stared so hard at in my life!! It was a scary terrible day, but I got TPA within 2 hours of onset, so 17 years later I have mostly recovered. I have some neuropathy in my left side when I get tired. But I think of those residents sometimes and I giggle. Having the poker friends in to observe I'd what made me think about that story. Have a great day! My best friend is a DO, so I love DOs. Keep up the good work ❣️
I also love how he doesnt know to open a door and smashes it to go into the room
All the paintings in his home are beautiful
Doc Mike: "the dirtiest, meaning the most infectious full of bacteria and viruses part of your hand, is the finger tips" Me: slowly removes finger from mouth
Dr.Mike: if your doctor has crow's feet they care Me: no it doesn't
Something I don't understand, the doctors tell you no water to drink for days at a time , but can't give you enought salene solution. No food for days but they want you to poop so they give laxitives. It always struck me as strange.
That insurance one isn't satire juat r/technicallythetruth
Feels like his rant about dealing with insurance companies encapsulates what almost all doctors have to go through in this country. :(
I have been with a few of my friends for support to a few appointments
That Onion line about pets rings true. I watched a FIstream video where a doctor, was on call from zoos, it turns out animals have the same diseases and illnesses as humans, heart disease, arthritis, etc...
Doctor you're so cute
I just love how The Onion nails the absurd article headlines so well that there's also a subreddit for similarly absurd stories that AREN'T from The Onion.
Why did you say planters wart like that 😂 I had a cluster for over 2 years about and never heard a doctor say it like that lol
I really have a serious issue. I was wondering if you could give me some advise? My ritestines hurt!
Watching this because I could a D+ on my end of term Honors Geography project. Gosh, I need a break...
'does your doctor have crows feet? that means they care' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
dr.mike’s laugh is more contagious than covid 19😆
I need more money
TBH there’s 2 kinds of Healthcare Professionals after running a Code: “Whoooooo! I’m so pumped!!!” And “I think I might be sick”
Ur using the cheapest razor ever literally there is red in Ur chin but u have a new rollex
Youre not a real doctor are you.. cmon
am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious it took him 12 seconds to understand the witness protection bit XD
Nerd: I'm the Smartest. Me after watching two Doctor Mike videos: *a r e y o u r e a l l y ?*
0:02 its actually true if you eat good foods like meat your body uses all of it
The grandfathers being swapped is just making up for the fact they were also swapped as babies, so they’re being swapped back.
i like to watch your face and your smile
Hey remember when the onion was just satire
Internet dwellers: COPPA The medical intelligentsia: HIPPA
Wait wait--People are bleaching their teeth??
Oh man, I had to go to the County Hospital emergency room. So, it turns out that I had a fibroid in my uterus that was the size of a 5 month old fetus. So, you could see it. I looked pregnant. The resident or whatever was like, “I have never seen something like this, can I call another resident in here to gawk over it to?” Sure why not. 🤷🏻♀️
Are we gonna talk about how dr.mike was a semi pro poker player
Hey Mike, can you/have you done a video on how to find a good PCP? I have not had a regular doctor since I was a teen (26 now), and I'd like to find one :)
Wait... Are Dr. Mike's couch pillows... Maps?
Why do the ads on TV for the hemorrhoid cream ANUSOL, say AN-YU-SOL? There is no such orifice as your "ANYU"!
cAn someone explain the witness protection joke pls
I used to always pick up the free print copy of the onion...still love it, but I miss the print☹️
4:30 I just got an add for an alcoholic beverage... I just might need a few to understand that.
“You owe me half an hour of my life back” is basically any call with health insurance companies. Except it’s way longer than half an hour while arguing that yes, a blood sugar meter is necessary for someone with diabetes.
Funny story. When leaving the hospital after my oldest was released. She was 1 at the time. The nurse forgot to take off the bracelet and all kinds of alarms went off. Elevators shut down and doors locked. Security was there in less than 5 minutes.
"Defibulator" my man... no. DefibRillator. And after 2 years in an animal ER, still never gotten to use ours =(
Lol who else understood HIPA?
My boss went to vet school with somebody who became both an MD (human doctor) and a DVM (vet), so he really could treat the whole family!
6:05 For comparison, Alex Jones is more credible than CNN.
