Real Lawyer Reacts to Law & Order (ft. Doctor Mike)

I got thinking, oibviously if I am a medical professional and I am supposed to be on duty I must be sober, but what if I am not supposed to be on dotuy and get called in having consumed a little alcohol?

Would it be ethical for a doctor to operate on patients while inebriated in a mass causality scenario if it were a choice between risking a drunk doctor and getting no care at all?

The first season of Law and Order is and always will be one of my favorites of the series. It wasn't flashy, it wasn't over the top, and (in a comment that is sure to sound strange) it wasn't character driven. It was just a grounded, well written series about various actors in the legal system of New York City doing their jobs. Brilliant.

I was an alcoholic, I had DTs and two seizures when I stopped drinking. I've been sober for over 15 years.

These are great.

Thanx for the 👍 video & I dnt have the financial means to do anything now as I'm disabled & waiting on full disability to kick in tho when I'm able to help say no more, done. Till than I'll help as bestest I can as I ❤ the video's & am grateful for them.😊😊

I hope the lifetime comes back when I can afford it lol

My work buddy was a heavy alcoholic, up until he had heart attacks, and finally quit.
As he put it: "Quitting drinking was the worst time of my life."
And he also kicked smoking cigarettes too. Anyone who quits drinking, you get my respect and hope that you handle it well.

How's hoping you wouldn't talk about my favorite scene. The cops are discussing the details of the doctor drunk and one of them brings up a hypothetical on him being off duty and having a couple of drinks when he sees a crime being committed. So the cop says if he firs his weapon he could be ounished because he was drinking.

I think if i were to defend the doctor with the "being drunk doesnt matter" defense, i would talk about how many OTHER patients he interacted with. Building the defense of, how can being drunk matter here when it didnt matter all the other time? It wouldnt be a good defense but it would be better than what they used lol

I literally love your collabs. I’ve never really watched yall before, but I keep going back and forth between channels for these two parters. So good

You do realize it’s a show and you can’t really do accurate chest compressions on a live actor?

I love all your crossovers... Rick beatto etc.

editor needs to balance audio a bit more. these guys talking (most important part) was a lot quieter than everything else.

need to prove your innocence? Grab a snickers.

We need more of these Doctor Mike, LegalEagle reaction videos.

I feel you guys could both watch the legal episodes of House M.D. Like the one where chase made a mistake or House and his legal issues( which happen a lot)

You should react to the positively horrendous Car Court (that is what they call it in the movie) scenes in A Car's Life 3: The Royal Heist

Its a felony to do hair while drinking.
It sure the heck would be to treat medical issues.

The thing that bothered me the most about OJ and the glove is that the glove had gotten wet - leather gloves SHRINK WHEN THEY GET WET. And it baffles me that not a single person figured that out.

I’m pretty sure my dog, Mariska, is named after one of the actresses from this show. Idk if I’m thinking of the right show though.

If the doctor drank 15 ounces of bourbon (bourbon is around 40% alcohol) in 2 hours, yeah no he was extremely drunk (~0.22% blood alcohol level)

Please watch The Good Wife with Dr. Mike. There are a multitude of episodes with medical and legal issues that could do with both of your valuable insights

This collab is on point

Have you reacted to the court scene from National lampoons animal house

NO BECAUSE I did that raise your arm to your shoulder and touch your nose test COMPLETELY SOBER (I haven't had alcohol for the past 3 months cuz why not) and I missed my nose by like 3 cms

That was blind surfer dude talking.

so many of the defenses big "gotcha" questions are so like unfathomably stupid lol.

"did my client say he was drunk while driving and barrelling into a family's full passenger car? no?

case closed. i win. bye bye"

Pleeeeeease react with Dr. Mike to The Good Doctor S6E16! It’s about (spoiler alert) Dr. Murphy going to court for a malpractice lawsuit. It such a good episode for you and Dr. Mike to react to together!

OJ didn’t take his medication for arthritis, he didn’t do curls to make his hand bigger. The medication actually made his hand swell up so that glove would not fit

"Liver rounds" = the rounds during which more patients die, so you get more liver donations for transplant

We’ve got to get more of this!

I love this collaboration.
I follow both of your channels Devon and Mike.

The Delirium Tremens reminds me of what happened a few years ago back in 2019 when I used to work at Denny's as a server. It was around 2 a.m. there was only a family of three, and I noticed that a Grey Hound bus stopped near by and a man got off. In one hand he had crutches and in the other he had a bag. Seeing that I opened the door for him and just as I was about to greet him he told me to call an ambulance for him. I asked him to come inside and sit in the bench, he said that he felt that he would feel worse inside. Anyways I basically ran back inside, told the other server what was happening. She got the phone and told the cook to come with us and called 911. As she spoke on the phone the cook and I were near by the man and he told us how he was feeling.

He said he couldn't breathe well and he was visibly shaking, and that previously he had been in the hospital in Boise and that before that he had done drugs. And now he had been discharged and felt horrible. In the end the ambulance came for him, the cook and I spoke to each for a brief moment and we both agreed that it seemed like withdrawl symptoms with what he had been telling us.

And for those who may be curious or don't know for why the other server asked the cook to come along. When someone is outside and needs help, we couldn't go alone. We needed to bring another person with us for protection. Because you never know if that person is faking it and wanting to cause harm. Or if in reality it was serious help that needed more than one person.

Last minute, man, first expense of the new year for me. $400 out in under an hour, lol

One thing that always kills me when watching cop shows (criminal minds, bones, etc.) is that the cops literally always break interrogation laws. Like a cop will make an arrest and then NOT READ miranda rights and the suspect confesses and then theyre like aha congrats we solved it, when in real life the defense would have the arrest tossed based on that! Also when they have someone in the interrogation room and the suspect says I want a lawyer and then the cop says “well actually you just have to listen to me” and then they lie about having dna or something and get the suspect to confess after literally ignoring the request for representation and continuing to interrogate. It kills me

This episode us not a joke, stop satirizing serious substance abuse. They covered up for him because they did not lose their jobs. This was the best of Law & Order.

go bruins!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE COLLABS! 👏🏽

Apparently, these two have never met Nathan Ford on Leverage. He is a lot better off if he drinks than if he tries to stay sober.

ESPN did a great series on OJ. His friends and lawyers admitted that football gave him arthritis so he just stopped taking his meds and his hands swelled.

I'm a huge fan of both you guys, so seeing this tag team was awesome, THANKS!

That being said- alcohol and/or substance misuse is a silent epidemic in the hellthcare profession. I've seen it, I've done it- though I've never been bonkers enough to attend a patient or operate a response apparatus while under the influence.

I was told in EMT class that DUI is the absolute end of your career... however, I've worked pretty much exclusively in rural and underserved areas- and have seen MORE THAN ONE medic who was able to avoid credential suspension or any apparent adverse consequences.

Not sure if it's just the friends/family those 2 had in positions of power- though I can say confidently that if it had been me, I probably would have been nailed to the wall and absolutely professionally destroyed.

In my experience, perhaps the only epidemic worse than mental health, and substance misuse in the medical profession is: corruption.

Objection: can the witness’s testimony be admissible if it can be shown that he is currently under the influence??

I bought that curiousity stream bundle, couldn't get onto nebula EVER

You wanna know the truth about a drink, ask the barkeeper
