Doctor Reacts To Harry Potter Injuries - Summary

Summary

A doctor is watching scenes from the Harry Potter movies and critiquing them from a medical perspective. He points out various injuries and accidents that occur in the scenes and explains how they would be treated in real life, often humorously and sarcastically. Some examples include Harry's lightning-shaped scar, which the doctor thinks may have been treated poorly by a plastic surgeon; a high-velocity fall that requires emergency medical attention; and a broken wrist that needs to be properly treated to avoid further injury. The doctor also pokes fun at the fantastical elements of the movies, such as the idea of phoenix tears having healing powers or a character being able to breathe underwater for an hour. Throughout the video, the doctor makes witty remarks and jokes about the medical implausibilities of the scenes.
