    • @OrangeyChocolate
      @OrangeyChocolate Před 4 lety +4

      I thought they sounded like American brand names.

    • @Robertscorner1
      @Robertscorner1 Před 4 lety +30

      As an American nurse I can say some of these drugs are obscure and I don't think being British has a lot to do with it. Incivek for an example was discontinued 5 years ago, I think I have seen Benicar once. Januvia, I have seen maybe two or three times, most people take metformin. Tricor sounds familiar but don't remember giving out this medication. In the same realm, Rosuvastatin (Crestor) shows up from time to time but pravastatin and atorvastatin are more common. Vinblastine is not something I would come across since cancer treatment is a specialty. As for knowing generic over brand name it depends on the drug and who is writing the order. Most of the time they use generic names, but occasionally they use brand names. For an example even though I see metformin like 10 times a day I wouldn't have a clue what the brand name is. One of the few examples of a brand name being used over the generic is eliquis, I know what the generic name looks like but couldn't say it without looking it up.

      We don't use brand names at all here so it probably does contribute a bit. If I'm drawing up drugs for a patient we only use their formal name on their drug charts/ patient prescriptions and that's how they're listed in the British National Formulary. Brand names aren't used at all

I fell in love with your videos with your reactions to the Cells at Work anime. I was also totally in agreement with you with your Dr. Mike situation. He is still at it and has started reacting to cells at work! You are brilliant! Please keep making videos!!!!!!!!!!!

    You may have also been at a slight disadvantage since they don't have prescription medication commercials in the UK. I knew most of these because of the constant stream of commercials here in the US.

    A thing to keep in mind with pokemon names is that they are often puns. Like Tranquill is a combination of tranquil and quill which is basically like a feather or spike/spine. Same with Quilava which was a combination of quill and lava due to its firey spines and its fire type. You can often work out some pokemons species, typings, or themes through their names. Doesnt always work, especially with legendaries which tend to keep their japanese names for the most part but it's helpful. Another example with Illumise is that it's a firefly. Illuminate. The last part could be a reference to it being a female pokemon since it sounds like miss but not entirely sure on that myself.
