Someone remind me how the brachiocephalic vein feeds into the brachiocephalic trunk?

I just....how could they screw up this bad? Like I get that the show isn' going to be accurate. But literally all they had to do was google a picture of vasculature. I found this in like 5 seconds

Wow are you a genius savant too?

"Patient's mother reports that he was obsessed with model trains between the ages of 3 and 21"

"On exam the patient does not make eye contact."
17
Does your arrogance make you a better surgeon????
54
A lot of times the contributors to these shows are self-aware. They know they are going for drama, not accuracy, so they just have fun with it.

Only 1 CCA, hope they've got good collaterals.

They appear to have something resembling an aortic atresia on the right side, so his thorax has plenty of collateral circulation.
Truly amazing that this young genius of a doctor was able to memorize this person's unique blood flow pattern.
53
They don't call him the good doctor for nothing.
(This is from that show right? Never seen it except in meme form.)

Good, not great.

yup and neither have I

You guys don't have 10 mesenteric arteries?

Everybody loves the super inferior middle mesenteric trunk

Next time I get pimped on a vessel I don't know, I'm saying that exact sentence

Autism-spectrum disorders often co-occurs with hyperhidrosis, this is very high yield.

Do examiners really like to go after this?

jfc smh you arrogant medical students think you know everything! everyone knows the blue humors drain on the left side of the body and the purple humors drain from the right. don't forget to buy my saw palmetto pills, y'all.
52
For all you know this patient is both bilious AND phlegmatic!

I just finished draining my white humors and I feel amazing! RIP sock

Dhat syndrome
Dhat syndrome (Sanskrit: धातु दोष, IAST: Dhātu doṣa) is a condition found in the cultures of the Indian subcontinent in which male patients report that they suffer from premature ejaculation or impotence, and believe that they are passing semen in their urine. The condition has no known organic cause.
In traditional Hindu spirituality, semen is described as a "vital fluid". The discharge of this "vital fluid", either through sex or masturbation, is associated with marked feelings of anxiety and dysphoria.

Called cards to admit syncope, did mention he's on saw palmetto in case they had heard of it inducing/associate during with arryrhymias. Saw one site that said maybe. But his urologist allegedly "prescribed" it to him

What the fuck is the ivc doing

slitherin around yo

lmao
1
is the right common carotid coming off the left brachoicephalic vein?
41
Having blood from the left and right side makes countercurrent flow, which is the most efficient.
58
Alternating current vasculature, it's so simple, how could evolution be so dumb OMG
6
Doesnt even look like brachiocephalic, more like truncus pulmonalis that turns into brachiocephalic, also thyreocervical truncus doesnt exist appearently.

The patient in the diagram clearly has an arteriovenous malformation caused by glass shards entering the blood stream.
26
Gotta hate it when that happens!

This show is basically House but House is an autistic kid.
17
That should've been apparent to everyone before the opening credits, since it's the same creator and features a doctor who is bad with people and brilliant with medicine, albeit due to different mechanisms
8
Had no idea it was the same creator.
1
It was the only thing about the show I saw advertised anywhere
5
Where is Lisa Sanders when you need her
Sick of telling you your Sherlock Holmes is doing medicine wrong?

house was awesome though

As a non medical student/doctor I find it hilarious that I don’t know if guys are making shit up or if you are really discussing something legitimate with real words. 😂
14
you should write for the show

why are you here.

You're on a forum for medical students. Don't you think we probably actually know what blood flow looks like?
13
I think the intent of my message wasn’t clear. I was simply saying that I did not understand anything that was being discussed and I found my own ignorance to be amusing. I wasn’t saying that the people here didn’t know what they are talking about.
31
Don't take it personally, med students can be a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes.
22
Ya don't worry about it. I thought you were funny :)
9
Your intent was pretty clear.

I am a person who typically has pretty low standards for entertainment. That being said, this was the most cringeworthy show I've ever seen. The writing was so horrible, that I don't even know if the acting was bad.
I'll probably still watch it.
14
This is why shows/movies/magazines/etc involving medicine need to hire a professional medical illustrator/animator to do medical content instead of a regular artist/animator. Medical illustrators actually have the knowledge and training to draw/animate anatomy accurately. If an artist isn’t trained to know and understand the internal anatomy they are illustrating they can sometimes get a little.... “creative” with what goes where.
13
This is the part where you find out he's not actually the smart kind of autist, just a regular autist who has no clue what he's doing, but everyone around him just assumes he's a savant.

Dr. Netter is rolling in his grave

Real talk - besides this blip, how was the show? I think I would enjoy a medically themed show if it weren't so blatantly incorrect... I can't enjoy House, Gray's, Chicago Med etc because I can't get over how largely inaccurate they are.
5
So bad. Dude had some sort of TB abscess that popped everywhere during surgery and everybody was fine with it
7
You should watch Children's Hospital. Might be the most accurate of all medical shows.
1
I liked House, Grey's, Chicago Med, and I like the pilot for The Good Doctor. I think this is a lot less cringey and overly-earnest than Chicago Med, and more compelling than Grey's has been for the last five seasons. It's probably not for everyone, and definitely not if you're hung up on the need for accuracy.
1
I wish I weren't and I can't believe I'm the kind of person who is 😂
3
Scrubs (mostly), The Knick, most of the first four seasons of ER for accuracy.
The Good Doctor, much like House, seems to be taking real life case reports, and mixing them in a blender with a generous dose of not-knowing-what-the-fuck-I'm-doing plus a pinch of no-one-will-notice-this-anyway.
2
you want accuracy, scrubs.

This is what happens when a lawyer is the head writer for a medical show.
At least when he wrote House he had consultants.
3
Why is the right common iliac vein so small and traveling laterally??? That abdomen vasculature is just fucked up
2
This shot makes me think this show is just a regular autistic kid practicing medicine, as in he has no savant like capabilities towards medicine.
2
So is this a Freudian slip of the shows producers proving the lizard people truly have taken over? Obviously their anatomy would be different that ours.
Almost got away with it you dirty, stinking, Ap... Lizards!
2
Something about the aorta seems wrong...can’t put a finger on what it’s missing...
“Man my left arm is really cold and dusky. I wonder why, can you help me Good Doctor?”
Considering the brachiocephalic trunk only takes oxygenated blood to the right lung, both his arms must be very cold. As well as his head.
Lol.
