"I Don't Know The General Dosing Plan For That, Let's Google It Together": People Are Sharing Their Experiences With Gen Z Doctors, And I'm Weirdly Comforted By This New Healthcare Reality
The next generation of doctors has been a running joke on TikTok.
And, believe it or not, the oldest Gen Zers are now 28 years old...meaning some of them ARE DOCTORS.
Yup. Believe it. Gen Zers were born between 1997 and 2012.
So, not surprisingly, older generations have been sharing their personal experiences with them as their medical providers. Like TikToker @sabocat who made a TikTok about her recent encounter: "The doctor comes in and is like, 'Yo dawg! You passed out four times in the past 48 hours. You need to go to the emergency room by ambulance!'"
She then said that when she told the Gen Z doctor she couldn't afford an ambulance, they just told her to not pay the bill.
The video has over four million views; you can watch it here.
So here are some of the best Gen Z doctor interactions people have shared in the TikTok comments:

QVC Group details TikTok, social content plans
This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. QVC Group hosted its first Super Brand Day on TikTop Shop earlier this month, building on its efforts to expand its reach and investments in social shopping. For eight hours on May 14, QVC Group streamed live content from creators and celebrities on TikTok resulting in its highest viewed and engaged company-hosted livestream to date, a QVC Group spokesperson said. QVC Group plans to expand its TikTok reach internationally, CEO David Rawlinson said during a recent earnings call. Next February, the company will partner with TikTok U.K. Minutes watched on QVC Group's social and streaming platforms grew 26% compared to last year, while streaming monthly active users grew 131%. March was the company's largest non-holiday revenue month. QVC Group said success in its streaming and social businesses is crucial. The company now streams 24/7 on TikTok and cited its most important metric as revenue growth in a recent earnings call. QVC Group estimates the percentage of revenue generated during Q1 through streaming and social platforms was in the mid- to high-single digits. Rawlinson said what's key to the company's social strategy is that it consists of a pre-aggregated audience. 'There are already tens of millions, in some cases, hundreds of millions of people, if not billions, on those platforms,' Rawlinson said on the call. 'And so you get to play in a very growing, large stream of potential customers who are increasingly used to seeing shopping content in their social feeds and who are increasingly converting over to purchases within their social experience. And so that's the magnitude of the opportunity.' Despite QVC Group's financial struggles, the company is going all in on social shopping investments. Among its various social commerce investments, QVC Group's latest targets Gen X. The 'Age of Possibility' platform celebrates women over age 50 with an expanded TikTok partnership and an eight-hour livestream shopping event. Beyond social, QVC Group is tapping into other ways it can broaden customer reach. Through a partnership with American Airlines, travelers can stream QVC+ and HSN+ channels on the airline's free in-flight entertainment platform. Sign in to access your portfolio

On Thursday, May 29, a day after Todd and his wife, Julie, were officially released from separate prisons, Savannah shared photos of her father. The photos were shared after the podcast host posted a glimpse of her dad, as they headed home from prison in Florida, on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, May 28, without showing his face. Savannah shared an Instagram Reel with multiple selfies of herself and her father, soundtracked by Jason Aldean's "We Back." "To the paparazzi following us looking to pay your bills… here's your photo 🤦🏼♀️ @toddchrisley," she wrote in the caption. The photos showed the dad wearing a gray tee with black shorts. He covered his face with oversized sunglasses and a black cap. As for Savannah, she wore a black sweater with her hair in a bun underneath a pink "Make America Great Again" cap. She accessorized with a Louis Vuitton bag. In a separate clip — which was also uploaded on Tiktok — that seemed to be from an Instagram Live, Todd puts a bag over his head as he says "You b------ aren't paying your bills from me." He and his daughter could be seen attempting to leave Nordstrom together, trying to avoid the paparazzi. Savannah said the two were in the process of shopping for an outfit for Todd to wear during his conference. Throughout the video, Todd repeatedly stated that he intentionally wanted to hide his face from the paparazzi, joking that he had the "BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) glow." Todd also said that his wife, Julie, was at home "hiding." "She's smarter than I am," he said. He wore the bag for most of the car ride. WARNING: THE VIDEO BELOW CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. Later on in the clip, Todd spoke directly to the camera, saying, "I'm so happy to be home. I'm going to start my skincare routine tomorrow." Earlier on Thursday, Savannah had also shared a discreet picture of Todd and Julie's legs as they sat facing each other. 'Reunited and it feels so good!' read an icon placed over the photo.

Jackie Chan blames ‘too much money' for critical mauling of ‘Rush Hour 3'
Jackie Chan says 'too much money' was to blame for the lukewarm critical reception to 'Rush Hour 3'. The 71-year-old actor made the admission as he reflected on his career ahead of the release of 'Karate Kid: Legends', in which he reprises his role from the 2010 remake of 'The Karate Kid'. Asked to rank the three films in the Rush Hour trilogy – in which he starred opposite 52-year-old comedian and actor Chris Tucker – Jackie initially hesitated before sharing his thoughts on why each performed the way the film did. He then told BuzzFeed: 'I don't know. You know what, the first one: little money, little time. 'We shot it like, 'Go, go, go, go!' The second one: a lot of money, a lot of time. 'The third one: too much money, too much time.' He added: 'Too much money is no good.' The first 'Rush Hour' film was a box office success and became one of the most popular releases of 1998. It followed Chris as Los Angeles detective James Carter and Jackie as Hong Kong inspector Lee, who team up to investigate the kidnapping of a Chinese diplomat's daughter. The film received positive reviews from both audiences and critics, and helped cement the pair's on-screen chemistry. But its two sequels were less well received. And 'Rush Hour 3', released in 2007, earned only a 17 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. In the film, Jackie and Chris's characters travel to Paris to confront organised crime, but critics noted a decline in originality and energy. Despite the mixed reception to the later films, Jackie has expressed ongoing interest in continuing the franchise. During an appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia in December 2022, he said he was 'talking about part 4' with the series' director, according to Deadline. No further details have been confirmed. In April 2019 Jackie's management denied reports a fourth instalment was in active development, calling them 'false information' in a statement on his official website.
