Doctors React To Markiplier’s Health Emergency

Markiplier is an enormously popular YouTuber, gamer, comedian, and frequent resident of hospitals. Mark has suffered a couple of bowel obstructions over the years, and just a couple of weeks ago had to go into the hospital for a few nights. I invited my friend Dr. Austin Chiang, a Gastroenterologist, or doctor who specializes in intestinal issues, to join me today and give us some more insight into what Mark was experiencing and to educate us on NG Tubes, bowel movements, and so much more. We’re glad you’re feeling better, Mark! Congrats on your poop.

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

[CassandraBankson]

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

[broodbassoon]

Mark: *Announces on Twitter that he pooped*

the entire internet:
YEEEAAAA BAAABYYYY THATS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT,

2015: surgery from scar tissue

2020: pop tarts

[ipopurcollar]

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 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

[dr.aydingoksin]

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

[GenenABottle]

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.

[stacyk]

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.

[CaptainZer]

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-

[asiafortson]

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

[Ashleyxxloves]

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

[jamesontarrant]

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 😂

[sbeve]

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

[joshuacastillo]

Mark, Mike, and Austin: [Explaining Mark's condition properly and hypothesizing about why and how it happens]

Mark's Fandom: IT WAS THE POPTARTS!!

[owarsky]

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

[warren__snyder]

Markiplier: tweets that he pooped
Mike: LETS FUCKING

[charliegreen]

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

[barbarafordham]

If you have weird stomach pains, go see a doctor?
