Doctor Reacts To Hilarious SNL Medical Sketches

These SNL medical sketches killed me. Today we talk about giving birth with Amy Schumer, John Green's The Fault In Our Stars and Ebola Virus with Sarah Silverman, testicular injuries, sneezing with Kristin Wiig and Will Ferrell, dayquil, nyquil, advil, benadryl, STD's and STI's with Pete Davidson, IBS or irritable bowel syndrome, Gen Z hospital with Elon Musk, Are there any other Saturday Night Live medical sketches I should check out?

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

When I was little, my mother used to say about my birth, “You were in, you were out, it was over. No big deal” The thing she complained about was how she was eating the best hot dog when she went into labor and wasn’t able to finish it! It’s literally been more than 30 years and on my bday she STILL complains about how she didn’t get to finish her amazing hot dog! 🤣🤣🤣 Man, I love my mama!! 😍😍😍

When I asked my Mum how my birth was, she just said, “Your sister’s birth was easier. ”
I will never forget this line she said.

I just love the delivery on the line "With more on this, obviously, is Pete Davidson."

[mina]

"He's the one sneezing, why is she drinking it" had me laughing out loud

[christ-abel]

"To all the moms in the world, thanks for pretending it was easy."
Dr Mike: "FACTS ! BIG FACTS !"
I couldn't agree more 😊

Funny. My doctor had NO problem telling me I had IBS when I DIDN'T.
All she did, was use her hands and feel my abdomen.
Told me IBS, gave me a pamphlet, and told me to take fiber supplements.
I saw a new doctor a few months later, turns out I had gallstones from hell.
So yeah I don't have a gallbladder anymore.

I can actually say the day my son was born was the best day of my life. I had a planned classical C-section. Halloween 2008. I felt no pain. Let students watch, and I definitely recommend that. They need to learn somehow, and they treat you like a queen. Now, once the pain meds wore off and I went home...that was the hard part.

My mom told the story of how she brought a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" to read as she recuperated from giving birth to me (back when a birth meant a hospital stay of several days). After the birth, back in her room, she tried reading it. She said she could understand the words, but couldn't seem to string them together to make coherent thoughts.

Fast forward about 15 - 16 years, and I had to read TKAM for school. Mom would normally read whatever books I had to read for English class anyway (it saved her a trip to the library), so she figured, "If my teenager is expected to understand this, I CERTAINLY should be able to as well. Lemme give it another try."

About a chapter in, she remarked, "Why couldn't I understand THIS? They must have given me some *powerful* drugs..."

Doctor Mike, just wanna let you know your channel helped save a life in Philadelphia.

I saved a family members life bc of chest compressions. I even did the sternum knuckles rub and everything.
“Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions “ 🤟🏽(I am cpr certified).

[MrsWheezer]

True story: I bled out during the birth of my second child. I’ve got all kinds of medical professionals trying to, you know, save my life, and all I really remember is the rage I felt when they wouldn’t give me my baby.

[starfandoms]

My mom has always told me the story of how I was born, this was what I was told when I was younger: “You were adorable, nothing was wrong at all” This is the version I now know: “You broke you collar bone during delivery”

[samtmh]

1:08 HA my husband was straight up helping the nurse through the whole thing. Literally just him and one nurse throughout the majority of the process.

I later asked him what it was like and he just said, "Meh, I've seen much worse."

[LisaBowers]

My husband's sneezes are sudden and loud. The room will be fairly quiet, then out of nowhere, without _any_ warning, *"ACHOOOO!"* Scares the living daylights out of me! 😄

[DoctorAzmain]

I’ve assisted in C-sections in the operating theatre and with natural birth on the OBGYN ward – although it's chaotic, it’s just such a lovely moment when we put the baby on the mother’s chest ❤

[allim]

My exhusband who was a corpsman in the navy knew everyone in the delivery room. As I started the labor process, he joked and said, “I hope you aren’t going to poop in front of my friends and colleagues.” I smile, but I made the labor process so much worse because I tried pushing while I was squeezing in my poop. I kept accidentally sucking in the baby while I was trying to hold in my poo. It was horrible, and lasted much longer than it needed to be.

[jappyhoy]

i watched my sister in-laws labor live in a video chat. she was laughing and having a good time. she would push then crack jokes. she had such a smoothe labor and it was all natural. i’m 41 and never had a baby. but i’ve dreamed of it. wish i could say i did. i’m everyone’s mom. such a blessing as well.

I’m actually crying because you talking about IBS and saying how hard it can be to live with feels so validating.. I feel seen, thank you 🥺❤️❤️

[nixyart]

as someone with IBS it’s nice hearing someone actually talk about it because no one really does. It took my doctor YEARS to diagnose me :/ Constantly missing school because of stomach issues, my parents even thought I was faking it to skip school. Bet they felt bad for accusing me of that after I was diagnosed. I’ve had medication for years now and it really helps. :)

00:21 “It was amazing.” *screams in pain*

[jamesgaddis]

I went to an ER once with (recovering) upper respiratory. I wanted to make sure it wasn't getting worse. The doctor looked at my throat and asked what I was doing to treat it. I listed the OTC medications and that I was drinking coffee and water. The doctor said: ok, keep doing that, your getting better. I got a bill for five hundred dollars ($250 for doctor).
