@@IM2MERS as someone who deals with eldery folks on blood thinners, it's "clot, why the fuck are they still bleeding, somebody call the damn ambulance well i keep pressure on a damn paper cut"
It’s not just the elderly. I threw clots after a car accident at 20. Then again at 29 so now I get to be on blood thinners forever. I’m 36 now and have gotten looks from nurses when I tell them I’m on Xarelto and have been for 7 years lol.
@@blumthomas3783 Well, no one said the real life Jonathans survive more than 24h......I mean where do you think the opthalmologists got their 3 days weekend and 8 hour shifts? Sacrifices have to be made...
“My favorite is the eosinophil, for obvious reasons” I’ve never identified with a statement more in my life. Feline eosinophils are especially fun; so pink and pretty!
So he should’ve said monocytes if he was talking about the blood stream, perhaps now he referred to the earlier bone marrow stage. Not sure, long time ago for me to study this :)
Poor Bill. The red blood cell suits him though. It's underappreciated, and yet, highly versatile within the scope of its specific role, thus making it absolutely essential to the continued proper functioning of dozens of other complex systems. Bravo Bill, the unsung hero of the medical profession.
@@danielmcilwaine720 THAT was during my masters. The cell based model was added there. My bachelors was mostly diagnostic/lab, which worked using the cascade. But yeah. You are very right
@@dragonsoul123 I had both during undergrad. Although they were satisfied so long as you learned one or the other. I found the cascade to be easier though.
Loving the hematology representation. My personal favorite blood cell is the basophil. Naturally. But if other types of cells are on the table, then a ciliated epithelial cell for sure. They're adorable to watch under a microscope!
OK I seriously thought those 3 options at the beginning were real. I thought I had forgotten everything I was studying last week. I'm reviewing for my MLS test. Good job scaring me!! 😁 I was about to go look that up after watching this 😂
@@toecollector9329sorry for not clarifying. In this context, MLS stands for Medical Laboratory Scientist. It's a next level certification you can get as a tech working in a hospital (or a few other types) lab.
The first part of the video is sooo true. Plus, they ALWAYS need to classify everything! Drafting 10 million classes and types for something that could be summarized in just 10.
i mean that's literally what macrophage means lol, macro - big, phage - eating, no? scientific names sound so serious until you realize they only sound fancy bc they're in a different language, the other time i was studying and came across a worm that is literally just called small penis in latin😭
@@darkacadpresenceinblood The Word comes from the ancient greek "makros" ("big") and "phagein" ("eating"), not "macro" and "phage". So just 50% of your information is correct, and that was the easy bit and easy to guess... The point i was trying to make is, that we call it by its real name in and that we have a special word for it. In english it just describes the cell (giant eating cell) and in german the word describes itself (Riesenfresszelle). So you are off topic, your information is wrong and you made a fool of yourself...GG
Jonathan would be a tissue-resident M-2 macrophage: keeps things tidy and clean, can get activated if further action is needed, and you can always find it at its job location
I like that the hematologist looked shocked and appalled at Bill's description of himself. I wonder if he might send him over to psychology, get him analysed by people who compulsively scan those around them for signs of mental disorders.
Psychologists do NOT diagnose people for mental disorders, psychiatrists or clinical psychologists do. Big difference. Therapists/psychologists can only talk, they don't deal with actual disorders, science behind them, medications etcetera
@@bluehorizons8913 Yes, but it is still anthropomorphic cells. It is more in depth than say School House Rock, but you're not going to pass your Immunology final having only watched this. I'd show it to a high school anat. & phys. class.
@@bluehorizons8913 It's the only reason I know that Macrophages are the hardcore responders to infection, raise alarms by signaling infection to dendritic cells after tearing off a piece of a new intruder, are a little slower moving than other immune cells, and I think they're involved in that maturing of RBCs in the bone marrow. It's how I know what eosinophils are, same with T cells and NK cells, among others. Not common knowledge for a Computer Science student
And they remind you that there's a dozen people looking for the job you have. You're not even allowed to discuss your salary to make sure you're being paid fairly. It must be awful.
This honestly just happened: VIDEO - What's your favourite blood cell? ME - White. I'm low on red the ones, so I take drugs to deal with _them._ 🤣🤣🤣 Get it? Cause, I'm low in iron, I'm anemic. 😏 Thank you so much for allowing me to share. I'll take my bad joke & leave you in peace now.
Nah. Some dude in a video said they all look like kids because they have an extremely low lifespan (~10 days according to Google), and it depressed the hell out of me to watch them working so hard while being kids, a little clumsy but still determined, and knowing they're going to die soon. But you know, they were still the best.
I am so glad as a patient of this area of medicine, i am so glad the doctor's keep this stuff in the offices! The conversation scares the shit out of me! To a of the blood docs out there! People like me need you! Details matter! 😢
ok Doc, have you heard about Cells at Work? it's a children's anime based on blood cells and the human body! truly the only reason I recognized any of the blood cells
they're a striking orange color when stained! plus they're hard to confuse with other cells-its the one where you dont need to worry about confusing it with a lymphocyte
Ahhhh you're making me question if I want to become a doctor I've taken both AP 1 and 2 for my Xray degree i plan on getting both my CT and IR certificates afterwards and I've fallen in love with the Anatomy I was really good at AP it came to me like a breeze even back in high school when I took AP honors I picked a lot of it up quickly and being able to understand your videos feels so good
Love that its not even the med student who's horrified at the end. That doctor has to have seen some shit and he's still like "damn bro, are you okay?"
Every time I see Bill, my heart breaks a little ... will he ever make it/last beyond over-tired, under-nourished, general dogsbody with a been-kicked-too-often skittishness ... 💔 I need him to succeed 💜
