Surgeon Breaks Down 16 Medical Scenes From Film & TV | WIRED

If Annie Onishi started a channel devoted to analyzing medical scenes in TV and movies, I bet she'd have tens of thousands of subscribers within a week.

Girl in The Shallows: Tries to do stitching on herself.

Annie: “Tis but a flesh wound.”

Honestly, her humor here is CRIMINALLY underrated

“Bajillions, that’s the medical term, bajillions”

Annie is back. I love her personality and the way she explains everything. Definitely my favorite on this series.

"it's not just translating, it's interpreting." THANK YOU! Just because you know the same words in multiple languages doesn't mean you can interpret! Like anything else, it is a skill you have to fine tune.

So I've been in a situation, when I was about 15, where I was in a restaurant, and started seriously choking, to the point where my vision was starting to go grey and I couldn't breathe at all. Everyone had been/was laughing and they all thought I was just laughing so hard I couldn't breathe (like they were). I actually got up, and threw myself on my fist over the back of the chair right under the sternum in the "J" shape like how she shows (how they used to teach the self-heimlich 15 - 20 years ago) which must've jolted my diaphragm enough because it dislodged the piece of food, and I threw up into the bowl of the food I'd just eaten. I remember just everyone being shocked, watching me kind of crying and trembling because I'd just vomited but also because no one had realised I was actually really choking; the level of panic and helplessness is immense, and it was out-of-body realising how close I had been to passing out due to my airway being blocked, and that it was very likely no one would've realised in time if I hadn't myself. It was such a bizarre experience and I am so, SO lucky I was ok. I know an old lady who lost her eldest child in the early 1950's because the baby choked in her highchair and this woman didn't know what to do and basically watched her child asphyxiate in front of her. Note to all: attend First Aid training, especially if you have kids!!!!

Her sarcastic quips she throws out here and there are *chef's kiss*.

It is really good to see Annie Onishi back and on good form, in good health. It's been the most difficult time over the last 18 months and front-line doctors have been at a lot of risk. Welcome back, Annie

Dr. Onishi's commentary is always a pleasure to listen to. She's both highly informative and very charismatic. I'm definitely looking forward to more of this.

Annie Onishi and Erik Singer carry this series so hard

Annie is so smart that she even realizes the issue with Uncut Gems is potentially an editing problem, she’s not a film maker but it makes such sense that editing would be the problem. Phenomenal critical thinking.

Guess who’s back, back again. She is amazing

“The only reason I don’t bite sutures is cause I’m wearing a mask.”
Me: LMAOO so that’s the ONLY reason? 🤣

Dr Annie: "...I mean, can you peel a grape with this amount of precision?"
Me: "well, as a matter of fact..."
Dr Annie: *Intense eye contact
Me: "...no,, that machine is absolutely amazing. Sorry doctor."

I love Dr. Annie, so much. Not just the breakdowns, but there was another series where she chronicled her week as a doctor during COVID-19 and it was incredible.

ok the surgeon acknowledged the “they did surgery on a grape” meme. i trust her with my life.

Y'all. Annie is a treasure that needs to be upheld and protected.

I love how each time we see Annie Onishi she has a different medical title. It is kind of like a glimpse into her medical career.

As a brand new Spanish-English medical interpreter, I appreciate the shoutout to interpreters! It is in the civil rights act that everyone has the right to an interpreter at no cost to the patient to any language of their choice in any healthcare encounter (including chaplains and hospital financial services)! also thanks for iterating that it's NOT translating!
