A TikTok is going viral after one TikToker published a video showing her doctor referring to YouTube to figure out how to treat her cyst.

The impromptu medical school lesson left her and the rest of TikTok balking and at a loss for words.

The 10-second video was posted by TikToker isi_lynott (@isi_lynott).

The clip garnered over 5 million views, nearly 718,000 likes, and 8,000 comments.

Many of the comments left on the brief video were split down the middle in terms of reaction.

Some admonished the TikToker for expecting her doctor to be a "walking encyclopedia" of medical knowledge.

Isi took to the comment section, too, to clarify any misconceptions about the reasons why the video was made and posted.

She assured viewers the TikTok was made in jest and there was no malice behind it.

The 10-second video shows who we assume to be Isi's doctor and another practitioner standing by a computer.

Both practitioners are watching what appears to be a how-to video that explains how to perform the procedure Isi needs in order to remove her cyst. The camera then cuts to Isi, who's lying in the hospital bed looking somewhat concerned and miffed at the fact her doctor needed to look at a tutorial to refresh her memory on the procedure.

As the video plays, text stitched into the TikTok read "not the doctor looking at a YouTube video on how to heal my cyst." The caption of the video read "Got their MD at YouTube university."

Pharrell's "Just a Cloud Away" provides viewers with a musical element as it plays in the background.

While many came to the defense of the doctor, citing practitioners can't be expected to remember all procedures at the drop of a hat, other commenters provided anecdotal evidence to help calm any fears people may have had.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
