Doctor Reacts To Family Guy Medical Scenes

I’ve reacted to The Simpsons and South Park medical scenes, so next up is Family Guy! Seth MacFarlane has created a funny world in Quahog, Rhode Island, but is all the medicine from Dr. Hartman accurate? Today I discuss Peter becoming a nurse, Brian donating his dog kidney, dialysis, vestigial twins, Stewie’s ADHD, teratomas, tumors both benign and malignant, House MD, Popeye, stokes, vasectomies, and the dangers of smoke. Oh, also THE CHICKEN. Lois, Chris, Meg, Brian, Stewie and Peter Griffin sure have encountered a lot of medical scenes! Which ones did I miss?

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!

The most unbelievable thing is that the griffins just walked into a doctors office without waiting 3 hours in the waiting room first

[davidmordigal]

Fun fact: yes, that was Hugh Laurie voicing himself as Dr. House in that episode

[MeCooper]

3:11 Dr Mike: _"What's the difference between a dog kidney and a human kidney."_

*Luckily this kind of thing is literally my speciality!* I'll try to explain it and hopefully I don't sound too technical or confusing to everyone...

A human kidney comes from a human. A dog kidney comes from a dog.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

The Alzheimer joke was so funny. It made sense that Dr. Mike had laughed that hard.

This, this is the guy 🤣 it gets me all the time

“Ok those are not good chest compressions”
*beating the chickens chest with enough power to knock out mohammed ali*

4:05 doctor mike saying random words that he expected us to know

[TrippyFordBronco]

Mike: Those aren't good chest compressions.

Peter: *starts beating the chicken*

“I don’t have the Alzheimer’s disease so that’s good

I don’t have the Alzheimer’s disease so that’s good”

Peter--"How did this happen? "
Lois--"Its from smoking."
Peter--"Its not that bad."

i have had an incredibly large phobia of medical facilities nearly my entire life, im not 100% sure on where that's from but given that i've never had a bad experience save for one nurse in one hospital many years ago, i think it might be my anxiety overanalyzing everything. it makes me feel nervous to be honest with what's wrong, because i'm terrified i'll have something life threatening. watching your videos and seeing you just being a genuine person has helped me to lessen that fear, to the point of willingly going to the doctor's without needing a reward after (i used to need to be promised gross fast food to get me to the doctor lol)

Honestly, Dr. Hartman is legit one of the funniest characters on the show

[greisifaye]

can we take a moment for the editing 🙌🏻... it just made the already funny video even better.

I remember one episode of Popeye, it's a teaching smoke is bad episode, Popeye said he's not smoking, it just an empty pipe and he like to blow it making his signature sound

Having gone through having a brain tumour in my head and repeatedly losing consciousness every day watching them reveal Brian has a brain tumour brings back some very painful memories.

[mayyyy]

When i hear the words “chest compressions”, it reminds me of Dr. Mike right away.

[daltongiddings]

Fun fact: the person playing Dr. House in Family guy IS Hugh Laurie who plays the actual Dr. House. He’s actually a pretty funny comedian.

[terrynorton]

I think it would be great for you to do a co-show with a veterinarian: compare schools, go over diseases that transmit between animals and their owners, and stuff like that.

I’m that person who hates to go to see a doctor while I’m studying medicine 😂😂😂

[dockedchutoy]

Brian: That drink will kill you!
Peter: Brian, whatever kills me makes me stronger.
*He is a true jedi*
