Dr. Todd (internal medicine physician) and Allycia react to Episode 1 of This Is Going To Hurt — a British medical drama set in the world of OB/GYN… a specialty Dr. Todd admits he knows the least about 👀 What starts as a chaotic shift quickly turns into one of the most intense and realistic portrayals of medicine we’ve seen. We break down: • A high-stakes emergency delivery involving a prolapsed umbilical cord • The realities of UK medicine (NHS roles like registrar vs consultant, “theater,” etc.) • A heartbreaking case of missed preeclampsia progressing to HELLP syndrome • The emotional weight of medical decision-making, burnout vs moral injury, and training culture This show surprised us… and honestly might be a hidden gem 💔 ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:18 Reaction To "This Is Going To Hurt E:1 05:16 Bloody Scrubs Reality 06:52 NHS Roles And Bias 10:31 Funny Residency Story 15:03 Birth Moment Reflections 30:22 Outro/Deep Dive 30:49 Is David Tennant The Best Doctor? 32:59 Preeclampsia and HELLP explained 34:51 Burnout versus moral injury 36:34 Resiliency training rant 38:04 Call room sleep stories 39:25 Regret and closing thoughts #doctorreacts #medicaldrama #obgyn #preeclampsia #medicaleducation #burnout #nhs #healthcareworkers #reactionchannel #internalmedicine #reaction
