"you know, you're right. This isn't too bad-" poor dear. I should've known those first few seconds were simply the calm before the lollipop-induced storm
You forgot the part where the doc is trained to resist slapping ignorant parents across the face when they bring their kid in for a magic pill or antibiotic so they can “get better right away”
I actually started to try and figure out whether your examples were developmentally appropriate or not and then remembered that I'm not taking an exam and This is a comedy channel lol
Knowing the milestones is so key to passing any pediatrics question on any standardized test. For practical tests, making the kiddo laugh is the key - I had a pediatric EM attending who had a button he would press when looking into kid's ears or throats during the physical exam that would make chicken clucking noises, and he'd tell them they had chickens inside them. Worked like 75% of the time to at least make them smile. The ones that didn't were either super sick, too old, or too young.
My mother told me once the pediatrician had said I would be taller than my sister. I couldn’t understand why that was even a question. lol I’m an inch shorter than her.
For real. Our pediatrics questions in accreditation tests are so random. They range from developmental issues and laws to "should you shave your newborn's hair?" 😂
Developmental milestones are my jam!!! Have you played "Guess Their Age"? It's this game I play where I observe kids in their natural habit and try to guess their age based on their motor skills, cognitive abilities and general physical development. Keeps your skills sharp and super fun!
All through my undergraduate I have struggled to learn and remember milestones. It was then I knew I did not have to take Radiology . I salute you, if you remember all of that.
At least in my experience, firearms ownership is fairly common among physicians. Also, if your job requires statistical literacy, you're more likely to detect bullshit statistics.
For better or worse, we pediatricians are known for being passive-aggressive, so the transition from easy questions to what seem like impossible developmental questions is spot on.
Dude, any child under five: fart noises and poop jokes. If they roll their eyes and tell you they're not a baby, lay out a dad joke, a bad riddle, or come up with a ridiculously elaborate title to call them.
Me waiting for the response to the last question to be fart noise by putting your hand under your armpit and squeezing your arm/shoulder down to make the noise…. 😂
Oh, this reminds me of my exam. The "is this developmentally adequate" was indeed a large part of it but also the: "3 year old child feeling unwell and having a fever for two days - precisely what disease and its subtype is this?" In my case I had four identical cases of that nature that supposedly all had different diseases.
I thought my internal medicine final exam was gonna be my most difficult to complete, but the pediatrics one was the worst 😭😭 I felt as lost as in this video and the pediatricians had poker faces no matter what question they made and what answer I said, so I felt as if I was gonna screw up all the timeeeeeeee. Then at the end they were all super happy like :D hooray passed 🥰 as if they weren't torturing me before
You know you work with kids when you start yelling "poop" at the screen, because you already know that the way to make them giggle. Child healthcare providers unite haha
That’s just how you do a lot of things in healthcare, especially when you’re new, and you’re new for a good while. Then eventually one day you realize you aren’t just acting confident anymore.
I for one was laughing at all of the different things he tried in order to impress the 3-year-old. Many of those are my own tried and true pediatric skills. I swear by the horse noise.
peds: "I'm a 3yo boy. Make me laugh" me, shouting at my phone: "Fart noises! FART NOISES! omgosh make a fart noise! med student, comically eventually: "poop💩" me, cheering 📣 and shouting: "YES! YES! Also acceptable! YOU GOT IT! He got it! YAYYYY" bank teller, pausing: is this for your kids? Your childcare? Do you need extra lollipops? me, a confirmed bachelor who cannot keep a houseplant alive: ha ha 😂 no, but what's the story with those lollipops?
I volunteered on an elementary school to talk to children about my day to day as a scientist to get them interested in science. It is the first time I have been with that many children and I noticed one pattern: Children are very ignorant with very steep mountains of very specific knowledge. I think that people treat children as if they did not understood because they did not have the mental capacity, when in reality they are just blank canvases ready to be filled with knowledge. And they can understand more than what many people think they can, as long as you know how to tie it up with something they know or on which they are interested. The same girl asked me how many months and years does it take for the Earth to go around the Sun, and, at the same time, she told that the Sun was made of plasma and she recited the different layers of the Sun and the temperature of each layer. Fascinating creatures, the children.
Pediatricians are literally the best. I didn’t leave my ped until I was about 20 years old, and even then I really didn’t want to. She was the best doctor I've ever had. But of course by then I was having adult problems, not child problems. 😭 I still miss her.
That’s exactly what happened Every exam was easy until the finals they rained hell on us and said “don’t worry guys you’ll nail it and do very well” before the exam 😭💔
The number of people in this comment section being like "actually, the gun violence in America isn't as bad as that, the statistics are inflated by gang violence in older teens and suicides." As though that isn't extremely concerning.
You're right, it *is* extremely concerning. An air embolism and a brain tumor are also extremely concerning and both cause headaches, however the treatments for them are very different. For one thing, counting suicides and accidents as gun violence conflates three completely different issues that cause the public perception to be distorted. Most people's definition of violence implies the deliberate use of force against someone else, suicides and accidents don't meet that definition. If you were told that a teen was having violent thoughts, you might say that perhaps conflict resolution and/or anger management counseling could help them right? But would you recommend those things for a teen having suicidal ideation. Additionally, the types of violence that people use guns in should be nuanced as well. For example, the causes of domestic violence and gang violence are different, why should we conflate them? We aren't (or at least I'm not) saying "Don't do anything because nothing is wrong", we're saying that a one-size fits all solution to these very different issues won't be effective.
If you want a real "actually" it's that Dr. Glaucomflecken literally just flat out lied. And not a "oh that's an understandable mistake" lie, a baldfaced lie so egregiously counter to the very publicly available evidence that it's impossible to believe it wasn't deliberate and malicious. Not only is gun violence not the leading cause of death for children in America, it's not even close to the top 2 causes until the deeply dishonest age bracket of 15-24. The overwhelming majority of child and teen deaths in the US are caused by car crashes, which also occur at a rate of at minimum twice the next highest cause in every age bracket According to the CDC's WISQARS data the leading causes of death for children are, by age group:
@@Blast335pokemineblox I hate to break it to you, but Australia where I live has very few gun related gang shootings, and very few gun-related suicides. People do still attack each other and do still take their own lives, but they use less effective ways of doing it. It gives emergency services and doctors more opportunities to intervene and fix it. By the time a person is in hospital, the method of injury and mechanics of the injury is more important than the motivations behind the injury when it comes to treatment. Of course you need a tailored approach to fix those issues within society that cause people to want to harm themselves and others, but if you take away the deadliest weapon you will reduce loss of life pretty quickly. Its like saying "we allow the patients in the psych ward to have guns because guns aren't the problem, its their mental health that is the problem." While I don't think there is any quick or easy way of fixing America, or even an easy way of fixing the gun culture and gun laws, don't delude yourself into thinking guns aren't a major part of the problem.
@@superslash7254 Just check out the facts, gun related incidents as the reason for death has surpassed car related incidents by a large margin in recent years .... and I will take YT comedians and confirmed doctors word anyday over a random dude hiding behind a superflash handle.
HAHAHAH I JUST REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A FORMULA FOR CHILD’S ESTIMATED HEIGHT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am so glad I went to the dark side, into the circles of hell, deep into darkness, where radiologist live ❤
I paused at 1:59, if the answer isn't a fart sound my 7, 5, and 2 1/2 grandsons are going to call FAKE on this!!!! Works for their 70 y/o papa every time 😂😂😂😂 Poop, yeah that would only get a 'meh'
As a pediatric doctor you should not be "loving" someone telling egregious baldfaced lies. Not only does it hurt your cause, it hurts the credibility of doctors everywhere. According to the CDC's WISQARS data the leading causes of death for children are, by age group:
I love how the exam starts all nice and cozy, and suddenly it goes waaaaay deep into development cornerstones. It's like "gloves off". I absolutely adored development cornerstones back in clinic.
The Canadian paediatrician answer to what you’re supposed to say to a parliamentary committee is to eliminate something fun like trampolines or toboggans.
Also, baseball and dodgeball. Neither are allowed at my local elementary school. My kids don't knew how to play baseball!!! Hopscotch goes next cuz, stones.
Imagine making a brilliantly funny skit about paediatrics and everyone in the comments is trying to cope that there isn't a problem with gun violence. SMH
🎶”Going down the highway, doing 64, _______ let a big one, and blew me out the door. The wheels couldn’t take it; the engine blew apart All because of ______’s supersonic fart!!” 🎶 Taught this to my son’s friends on a field trip. Use wisely.
Currently on my pediatrics rotation with a ladybug sticker on the back of my phone. And our kids here don't laugh... they're like little adults having mid life crisis
@ElijahStroud 2 muffins are sitting in an oven. One turns to the other and says "wow it's getting pretty hot in here." The other muffin turns to look at him and goes "Oh my God, a talking muffin!!!"
This gave me PTSD from my internship, but surprisingly I was able to determine the adequacy of the developmental milestones, so I guess I'm still good 😂
