TikToker Balks After Catching Doctor Looking On YouTube To Figure Out How To Treat Her Cyst

TikToker Balks After Catching Doctor Looking On YouTube To Figure Out How To Treat Her Cyst

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.

'Hunger Games'-Style Immigrant Reality Show Pitched To Homeland Security Sparks Outrage

According to a report in The Daily Mail, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly reviewing a pitch for a reality television show where immigrants would compete for a chance to fast-track their path to U.S. citizenship.

DHS is reportedly collaborating with writer and producer Rob Worsoff on a proposed reality television show titled The American, which risks turning a serious and often traumatic process into entertainment. The concept comes as the Trump administration continues to clamp down on asylum access and prepares to implement a sweeping deportation plan targeting millions of undocumented immigrants.

GOP Rep. Has To Be Woken Up During Roll Call After Pulling An All-Nighter—And Oops

Utah Republican Representative Blake Moore had social media aghast after video showed he had to be woken up by one of his GOP colleagues to vote during a House Ways and Means Committee meeting early Wednesday morning after pulling an all-nighter.

The House Ways and Means Committee worked through the night Tuesday as Republicans pushed forward key elements of President Donald Trump’s plan to extend tax cuts in ongoing budget negotiations. The marathon session extended into the early hours of Wednesday, and just before 5 a.m. ET, cameras caught Moore asleep in his chair as his turn to vote arrived.
