the sarcastic “oh of course how could i have been so stupid” is just so perfect

[tundratitan]

As a lab tech I have had to try to explain this to multiple doctors with varying levels of success. 😂

[jaxxemire]

I thought I was getting my Hep vaccines for my own peace of mind.
Turns out it was for my doctors'.

[dazzlemasseur]

He said all that without stuttering.
That's the most incredible part.

[moonbay]

Me in the lab “why do they keep adding on individual hep tests one at a time!?”

[ellenkammer]

In the lab, I had a slide rule device with all the antigens a antibodies to help determine what stage of the disease the patient was in. Very useful.

Sounds like you need a flow chart for all the conditions. Respect for remembering all this.

[doce]

As an ID doctor who gets asked these questions ALL the time! There's a beautiful flow chart for diagnosis I share with everyone (and use myself) as Hep B is confusing!

[polarbear]

Me being a layman: I like your words magic man.

[olgaleonenko]

I can confirm. It sounds like a joke, but that's what I encounter with almost all family/generic doctors. I have been a Hep B carrier since childhood (thanks, doctors). And its embarrassing how many time my doctors tried to push me to get vaccinated because they didn't know how to read all the combinations on the blood panel. I even once went to a specialty clinic; they weren't even surprised that my doctor was so confused

[danhamm]

Is it bad that I find it kinda reassuring that even a GI fellow finds Hep B serology interpretation to be annoying?

[mikabee]

This was us in the lunch room this week trying to figure out how to screen our patients for Hep.B, who to test, what tests to order, and what the results meant...😂

[ribbot]

Hep B: NOOOO you cant just start antivirals without HbAgs, HbAbs, HbAc…viral load, AST/ALT, VHD..
Hep C: haha sofosbuvir goes

[jeanlucstitt]

I just started my career as a medic in the army and all the new things I need to learn make me feel like the stupidest person in the room. Despite what I know and what I’m learning I feel so lost. Love medicine and those that practice. Genuinely warms my heart to know that I’ll never know everything and even the best are still learning. Great job on the videos!

[mikkolaki]

Wait I just watched a lecture on this, and I totally get it!

[giannydeep]

My GI block exam is tomorrow and this will haunt my dreams 😅. Really though, your shorts have been unexpectedly a great help. Thank you for the 100 on my esophageal pathology quiz!

[nachtegaelw]

I didn’t know diagnosing hepatitis was so complicated!

[beamer]

I’m just a preventive medicine technician and my first week in epidemiology I ran into this. I was so confused, and the doctor trying to explain this to me pretty much melted my brain.

[laurendukes]

Was that a "who's on 1st?" bit for hepatitis???? That's different. Well done!!!

[sadiedol]

People in the medical world need more support, i couldnt even watch this whole short without getting a headache
