Doctors React To Markiplier’s Health Emergency 

Thank you so much for having me Mike! :)

Everyone remember, "He Pooped" was trending on twitter and Mark regretted it. It was literally the shit heard around the world.

I wish you guys talk to Mark because his first surgery was absolutely terrible and terrifying. SPOILER TO THE STORY He thought he was gonna die in the hospital because the staff didn't believe the pain and agony he was in

2015: surgery from scar tissue 2020: pop tarts

Mark only ever took breaks when he was in the hospital and even then he kept posting videos when he could. He's a great guy, incredibly dedicated, and a serious workaholic.

Mark: *Announces on Twitter that he pooped* the entire internet: WOOOOOOOOOOOO, YEEEAAAA BAAABYYYY THATS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT, WOOHOOOO!!!!!

*Never thought* “oh 💩” *would be one of the highlights of 2020, but I’m happy we’re here!* (happy Mark is here, mainly!)

The man has a healthy diet but he was like “ima eat at least a pound of pop tarts for a video” and his intestines were like “AAAAHHHH” then he proceeded to tell ppl it wasn’t the pop tarts. This kind of thing happened to me so. I would say I would know but I’ve never been to the hospital because of it

"Everyone should have a primary care doctor" Me, a poor American: Sure, I'll get right on that.

It's gastroenterology, of course it's about pooping 😂💩

The collab we never knew we wanted.

And now he broke his foot, *again I believe*

I still can’t get over how Mark can be sick and in the hospital and still look like a GOD

As a colon cancer survivor, I felt that “I pooped” tweet. I went into the hospital March 25, 2020 to have Robotic LAR surgery. They were all happy in the hospital when I pooped and didn’t throw up my food! Loved the nurses who took care of me in such a vulnerable time. 2020 has been hell of a year.

I have IBS and anxiety. “Weird stomach pain” is a good summary of my life.

Fyi: he didn't mean to leave the dramatic filter on the whole time.

8:25 Mark is able to handle alot of pain and discomfort. He, in fact, regularly likes to test himself to see how much pain he can handle. But he's definitely not a masochist.

He should watch one if Mark's videos called "Pain." Where Mark is talking about the worst Hospital experience and a doctor that every fan wants to fight-

Watch Mark’s video “Pain!” He talks about the worst pain he’s ever felt + some of his worst medical emergency experiences!

Mark: If you've got weird stomach pains, go see a doctor Girls with period: H u h ?

Markiplier: tweets that he pooped Mike: LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

as soon as i saw “markiplier”, i was like *yes, i click.*

Imagine becoming a Markiplier fan because he pooped. What a legend.

That man's medical history is in equal parts terrifying and hilarious. =Example A; Due to an error he got NO medication after his first surgery. =Example B; He nearly went blind after being hit in the eye with a PICKLE. He's also had multiple heart attacks and has been pepper sprayed in the eyes. A collab between these two would be GOLD. If you can get him to even see this that is.

I loved how Markiplier was all.."it wasn't the poptarts" after I watched his poptart video XD

“HE POOPED!” Mike, 2020

As someone who's spent an extended period of time in the hospital, I can confidently say that you can become very comfortable with people having frequent conversations about poop; even in regular life. Doctors can't seem to go even a few hours without talking about poo 😂

The hardest thing about being a doctor is remembering names of long illnesses

Mark, Mike, and Austin: [Explaining Mark's condition properly and hypothesizing about why and how it happens] Mark's Fandom: IT WAS THE POPTARTS!!

As a new nurse, when you have someone that hasn’t pooped in 3 or 4 days, and you’re waiting on that BM for their placement, having that patient poop is a thing to celebrate 😂

My eldest son, aged 49 years, lost his life to this. He had Hydrocephalus as a baby after Meningitis and had many shunts put in. As a result, adhesions twisted his bowel to a point that portions of his bowel dies. From extreme pain on the Friday, he presented at the hospital, was operated on straight away and again another on Saturday morning, he was placed on life support. We had to make a decision on Sunday. I am so happy that this fellow had a positive outcome. Thank God.

Funny thing about the ng tube, I am currently in nursing school rn and they have stopped practicing listening for tube placement with a stethoscope bc it’s considered an outdated method, they teach us to check via aspirating gastric fluid instead bc it is more accurate. However I still see it in practice with many doctors and nurses.

If you have weird stomach pains, go see a doctor? *laughs in USA healthcare

Doctors and moms are the only folks who celebrate poops.

two of my favorite youtubers.. HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS UNTIL NOW?

My mom has had 3 bowel obstructions, 2 requiring surgery, 1 just the tube. She has always had problems with her stomach and often complained about bloating, constipation, irritation, etc. but doctors basically chalked it up to poor diet and eventually she just lived life as if it was normal. One day she felt a lot pain in her abdomen, worse than expected, but she figured it was just the discomfort of constipation- that night she told me was a pain that you essentially cannot mistake as anything "normal." When Mark says stomach pain that you should see a doctor for (aside, yknow, chronic occurrences then yes see a doc) he means you'd know what kind of pain is an emergency- if you are even struggling to stand up straight and the pain is invading every thought, you need to go to the ER. Especially if you are bloated on top of that. Mom had terrible care at the hospital, doctors insisted she was suffering with other things from the stomach flu to trapped gas from constipation, since her "tests showed nothing," but she was kept under observation with pain meds. My dad said they were pretty dismissive of her pain and weren't really urgent with caring for her, it was honestly very bizarre. It really wasn't until 4 days later that she started vomiting up black and had severe mental disorientation (like she was delirious, it was terrifying), by then she was extremely bloated and nobody noted that she hadn't had a bowel movement- they never even diagnosed her with an obstruction because there was no imaging indicating she had anything going on. Which would be fair, but it wasn't until a first year actually noticed that there literally was never imaging tests done, literally NO xrays or anything. VERY bizarre. By the time they actually got one done, she was way too far gone from having anything besides emergency surgery. From what I understand, she was merely hours away from going into sepsis shock due to the extended amount of time a large buildup of fluid and waste had clogged up part of her intestine that it caused perforation, which began leaking out and infecting the area. Apparently the cause of the obstruction itself was a congenital growth in that section of the intestine and she was somehow lucky enough not to trigger an obstruction for up to 35 years. I'm not sure what it is called, I just know that it existed in her ever since development and very rare, and rarer for adults to be affected for the first time. Anyway, the surgery did result in scar tissue causing a couple other obstructions, but now she's very aware of the symptoms. It did take until the 2nd obstruction to also diagnose her with Crohn's, which also lends a more likelihood of obstructions than average. Bowel obstructions are absolutely no joke and people do die from them, and it can be as quick as a few days! Scary stuff!

MARK SHOULD SIT WITH MIKE AND ASK HIM MEDICAL QUESTIONS LIKE HE HAS DONE WITH OTHER PEOPLE!!

I'd love to see 2 collabs. 1 with Dr. Mike playing a game with Markiplier and the other is Markiplier talking and hanging out with Dr. Mike!!! They're both awesome!!!!!

i have never seen a man say 'He pooped!' so happily, and enthusiastically.

Who's here after Mark broke his foot lmao...

I had a tumor obstructing the passage between my stomach and my small intestine. Due to my own fears of being called an “exaggerate”, I didn’t consult a doctor for more than a year. By then I was vomiting several times a day, couldn’t eat anything, not even broths, and was on the brink of a full body shutdown, due to mineral and vitamin losses and lack of proteins even at blood level. My body ate itself, muscles, bones and fat reserves, and it took me almost a year to recover from surgery. I’m lucky to be alive.

*I'm here before Markiplier's verified comment.*

I wish the UK had primary care doctors like you guys. Over here it is chaotic. It literally takes 1-2 weeks to get an appointment. Then you see a different doctor every time you go. If you're going for a follow up appointment, you have to explain the whole issue over again. I've even had a second doctor not agree with the previous doctors diagnosis and change/cancel meds. Its just crazy.

There's a lot of problems with the American healthcare system but being able to just call up your doctor any time if you're concerned about something makes me very jealous!

“If your stomach hurts go see a doctor” *me with period cramps for a week*

mark "if you've got weird stomach pains... go see a doctor" me having had weird serious stomach pains for 10 years after many diets and surgeries that the doctors still can't figure out: ahahahhahahaha

Okay but the fact that SO MANY of marks fans flocked to this channel is amazing - but one thing guys Memento Mori 🤍🖤

"Oh no, the chair attacked me" He's bored...

We need him to react to the "I broke my nose...twice" video.

I swear, Mark has literally the most positive and hilarious community I've ever seen🤣

I was recently hospitalized and when I was being admitted the nurse asked if I was passing gas. I told her I had to but I was being polite. She told me to not worry about being polite.

Ugh I feel so bad for him, I have this same issue and have had small bowl obstructions over 10 times due to scar tissue and everytime they do surgery to correct the scar tissue, it causes more scar tissue. I have a scar that goes from my sternum all the way to about 3” past my bellybutton. To be honest getting the NG tube put while awake is worse than the obstruction even though the obstruction is extremely painful. This actually is life threatening because I waited once and started throwing up so bad I actually ruptured my intestines and had emergency surgery which I then caught MRSA from the hospital and ended up on lift support for 6 weeks and after that I was on TPN for almost 6 months through a PICC line in my arm. I still wait days with stomach pains because when I go into the hospital they act like I’m there only wanting pain meds and that it’s all in my head even though I have medical records since 2008 that I’ve had these issues and records going back to when I was 16 that I have complained of severe abdominal pain for no obvious reason. I actually had this issue back in November and the doctor told me it was just gas and I needed to fart. I was like I’ve been in this pain for a week something is wrong. I’m actually laying here at this exact moment with a heating pad in my stomach because of the pain but I know there is no point in going to the ER because they will act like I’m wasting their time and just be rude to me. I have a feeling that this issue will eventually kill me one day because I can not find any medical providers other than my PCP that gives a shit. He can order all kinds of stuff but if the specialist doesn’t care and pawns me off on someone else then I’m back at square one.

the thumbnail be like: Mark:*visibly in pain* Mike: *laughing*

Markiplier and Dr Mike try not to laugh... I need this in my life.

I’ve lost count on how many times he’s been hospitalized! Damnit Mark! You hilarious walking disaster! 😂

life: how many times do you want surgery? mark: yes

Markiplier: This was completely unexpected Also Markiplier: * eats a bunch of pop tarts/expired pop tarts*

I just started becoming a fan of Mark and had been a huge fan of Mike’s for a while now, so this was... perfect timing... lol

4 hospital visits from him. 2 broken noses, this one, and now he broke his foot all in a small time period

I haven’t finished the video but he’s talked about it in a separate video that he wasn’t getting the proper amount of pain meds after his first blockage surgery

Markiplier: I eat a lot of poptarts Literally less than a week later: Hey guys, so I'm in the hospital again and there's an unexpected small intestine blockage

I celebrate pooping everyday. However, I don’t celebrate poop when someone has bowel incontinence and I have to clean it up 😂😂🤣🤣

When my daughter was an infant she became constipated. And when she finally went I have never been so excited to see poop before! I celebrated lol

I always tell my patients that the hospital is the only place in the world where hearing them say “I farted” or “I pooped” is actually good news. Gets them every single time 😂

Wish Unus Annus still existed so they could react to Mark’s story of not getting pain meds after his surgery. Dr. Mike would have a field day with that tale.

Mark/Markiplier also made a couple of videos discussing his hospital visits. The video titled "Pain" is pretty heartbreaking I'm not gonna lie.

I get small intestinal obstructions too. Had surgery, had the ng tubes. It’s awful. Glad I’m not alone

*bruh* I remember the first time he went to the hospital and that was so scary for everyone watching

You should really react to the story where they didn’t give him any pain meds after his surgery

I can sorta relate. I could've died earlier this year. And that tube is terrible. I got really bad stomach pain. I thought it was my ulcer acting up as usually when I eat something spicy. But the pain got worse and I started to throw up. The pain got so intense I thought I was dying. I called emergancy and I'm still mindblown how the operator could even understand me as I could only scream out in pain. It literally felt like a alien was gonna burst out from my stomach. Well at the ER, I wasnt taken seriously bc "I could sleep so I couldnt be in that much pain". The real reason I "slept" was bc I was given such strong pain meds that I literally passed out until the effect wore off and I was pulled awake by the extreme pain. They finally decided to do a MRI (I think its called). And after that everything went fast. They found out that I had a pretty rare diagnose called Cekal Volvulus. And when the surgeon opened me, they was met with blackness and necrosis (I think its called), dead tissue pretty much. So they had to cut out the dead part and reattach my small bowls to my large intestine. The part that was removed had twisted itself around/into its own wall attachment. It had pretty much hanged itself. It is very rare in Caucasians, which is what I am, and has a pretty high mortality as it is hard to discover and usually gets wrongly diagnosed as IBS. It is however pretty common in Asians. I would actually love if Doctor Mike would make a video about Cekal Volvulus. After about half year, I went to the ER with stomach pain again. This time it was just a simple blockage. But I was told to keep an eye on my pooping and I must drink laxative as soon as I notice difficulties. And apparently there is a blockage diarrhea, caused by liquid managing to sip pass the blockage, which can trick one to think there's nothing wrong. I do have some issues that appeared after the surgery, but I can live with it. What do confuses me alot is that sweet-ish smell that my poop has since the surgery. Its superweird but yay for non stinky bathrooms. Lol. But the worst part from this is the anxiety I get as soon as I get some stomachache or heartburn. A simple thing as eaten or drinking a little too much that it cause a slightly discomfort, can cause an anxiety attack. I wouldnt even wish this upon my biggest enemy. A little note. A day or less after the surgery, they accidently gave me too high dose of the morfin/epidural or what the pain meds they attach to the spine is called, so I also got to experience what its like to not being able to move or feel my legs. It was freaky. My brain signal my legs to get up on the bed again, but nothing happened. It wore off pretty quickly after they lowered the dosage. Im glad I have a pretty high pain tolerance. Hehe.

When I saw the video this past December I was worried. He’s had so many health issues at such a young age. Glad this time he didn’t need surgery.

I had the same exact surgery for the same exact reason however had never had a prior abdominal surgery and the scar tissue was caused by endometriosis. I lost my first son during the surgery and had a really crappy hospital taking care of me but thankfully for my husband being there I was able to cope w the loss and have a great recovery from the trauma.

Funny story, after my mom’s surgery she accidentally sent a group text to everyone on her phone saying that she farted

He got a certificate that he pooped, and i never got any "Congrats" certificate in my life other than school report card

Rapid triage is something that I really appreciate having access to. I'm unsure if there are similar services elsewhere, but in Australia we have Nurse On Call. It's a phone service that you call, they take Medicare information and they will provide basic health advice, recommend follow-up with your GP (General Practictioner or regular doctor) or to visit a hospital if it's more serious, or pass your call on to 000 (our 911 equivalent) if necessary. They will even pass the call on to mental health care support lines if that's what is needed. When it's late at night and some lingering ache gets worse, or if something else comes on suddenly but doesn't feel too bad, having a service that's not quite calling an ambulance, but is more immediate than booking a GP appointment is really comforting.

Dr. Chang I’m in awe of your dancing ability. I love when the doctors have a personality and I believe you do 👍🏼😁

I clicked faster than Dr Mike’s frown when someone doesn’t do chest compressions 😂

i feel bad for him. but seriously like "I pooped"

The whole 24/7 phone line thing is really helpful. My job (or insurance? idk) has a 24/7 nurse line that's definitely helped me, especially when I was in between pcps, to either encourage me to go to a doctor or tell me what to look for if it doesn't seem like I need to go in right now. Extremely appreciate having that resource. Also as someone who caught appendicitis way early (to the point I had to wait in the hospital over night because there were more important surgeries that needed to be done), def recommend knowing your body and paying attention to pain!

Man, I should have listened to Mark and gone to my doctor. I now have cancer and it's because I didn't care enough to go. Listen to Doctor Mike and Mark, take care of yourselves!!!

“Omg he pooped!” 😂 love the video already

It would actually be a really cool idea to have mark as a collaborator for a video, he's big enough that it would get a lot of attention, and he's seems like a really curious guy so I think he'd be willing to ask questions and talk about medical stuff while also having a good time, which in turn would make a fun and also educational video for not only your subscribers but his as well.

HE GOT ANOTHER ONE! 🚨RING THE ALARMS!🚨

In the UK, General Practitioner (Primary Care Doctor) offices are 9-5 Monday to Friday, often without out of hours contacts. We do however have a national, non emergency, free number which is 111. You can call this if your gp is shut or not able to see you quick enough, and they will ask you a series of questions about your symptoms and let you know if you should self care at home, see a gp the next day, see a gp as soon as possible or go to A&E (ER). They will sometimes arrange an ambulance for you if needed, but the best thing is they tell the hospital you're coming in even if you're making your own way so the hospital already know your details and you can get seen sooner. Really helpful

Don’t forget about when Mark broke his nose TWICE during a project that never existed. If you know, ya know 🤫

Mark's stuff has never really been my thing, but he has always seemed like a nice guy.

Oh yeah! It's great to have a primary care doctor - if you can see them that day! I'm up in Canada, and it takes 7-12 days to book an appointment with my GP (and that's pretty good actually). If I have anything urgent pop up, I have to go to the walk-in clinic and see someone random every time. That goes for me and my kids. My sister has very similar issue as Markiplier, scar tissue decides to flop the wrong way inside and clog her up randomly. She's survived cancer three times, so she's a tough cookie, but you don't get out of that unscathed...

I have Crohn's Disease. I was finally diagnosed with Crohn's bc a bowel impaction literally almost killed me. 2 days prior, a doc tried to do a colonoscopy. He woke me up, said I was impacted & that I should fix it over the weekend so I could come back 3 days later & he'd try again. He didn't tell me how or really what it was. He ignored my symptoms of pain, nausea & vomiting for a week prior. My cousin, who was almost finished w nursing school, realized I was vomiting bile & rushed me to the hospital. I was so dehydrated that they couldn't find even my blood pressure nor pulse. Well, not easily. The docs told me if I'd waited just 1-2 days more, I would've died. It's dangerous. I've had them multiple times & surgeries. It's sadly typical of severe Crohn's Disease.

Me: *Still waiting for Markiplier's original comment on this one*

If you’re ever at the hospital and you hear doctors cheering about poop, don’t worry. It’s normal.

7:07 I wish my family doctor had this it takes weeks or months to get in to see my doctor so by the time I do the issue either got much worse and I went to the Er already, or it cleared up or I just have questions that I want reliable answers for that my adults cant give me

I've just watched this video, I had the same surgery when I was 17 after 2 previous cancer surgeries, it was awful, and I admire that he wanted to make a video after this obstruction surgery, for me was a traumatic episode of my life, maybe in recent years this surgery is performed different, but 20 years ago was very invasive.

"there's no predicting when it can happen" *poptarts*

"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history" Dr. Mike:

We have rabbits, and anorexia or lack of pooping is an emergency rush to the vet! I have actually yelled "WE HAVE POOPS!" from our exam room hoping to reach the vet, and have the vet, her assistants and office personal stick their heads into the hall and cheer! So it's not just humans! 😁🐇❤️

The little bit I remember from other videos of marks. He had a Tumor that he got removed and after that the scar Tissue broke off but was still attached to his Intestines and pulled them through his other intestines and that was the first time he was in the hospital. Don’t know what the second time was for

"I wonder if something else was happening beforehand." Was it the poptarts?

Me: *eating pudding* Me 5 minutes later. “My lifes decisions are bad” How did this get so many like tho i don’t understand.

He gets my respect on this to deal with a medical problem like that I don't have that medical problem but I have a different thing that is a long term pain because of it

1:35 when they put that tube in are you awake? That must be real uncomfortable
