Chubbyemu

Dr. Bernard Hsu, PharmD, better known online as Chubbyemu, is an American YouTuber, clinical pharmacist, and toxicologisthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl3H23g5kT0&t=319s who uploads educational medical videos and which are occasionally true stories that he or his colleagues have seen or heard about. 
He created his channel in 2015 and at the time, it mainly consisted of gaming videos. Chubbyemu states in his channel description, "The earlier videos served to teach me how to make a video, as I have no background in filming, editing, etc. 
That early content was following trends of the time, learning how best to approach my lack of understanding of video".
==Music in videos==
Chubbyemu has often used music from the Dustforce OST made by Lifeformed for the indie game Dustforce in his videos, even before he started making medical analysis videos. Some of these tracks are also used like motifs throughout his videos:
*Frozen Hot Sauce - Current and most commonly used intro music.
*Pillars of Pepper - Previously used as intro music. It is also sometimes played after the doctors are able to diagnose the patient's medical condition in the video.
* Cider Time - Previously used as intro music.
*Upside Down Stalagmite - Previously used as intro music.
*Sepia Tone Laboratory - Often played when the patient is in a grave condition, usually near death.
*The Magnetic Tree - Usually played at the middle of the video.
*Dream Salvage - Usually plays at the end of the video as Chubbyemu tells the fate of the patient.
==Running gags==
Many of the common parts of Chubbyemu's medical analysis videos have since become running gags in his content, leading to their popularity as Internet memes. Additionally, many of his videos also contain subtle and explicit references to Internet and meme culture at the time of the video's release.
===X Did Y. This Is What Happened===
*Every medical analysis video is titled in a clickbait-like fashion, and with the often extreme and bizarre nature of the medical cases themselves, many have come up with their own titles to hypothetical medical scenarios. Chubbyemu also opens up each video by reading out the title.
*Twitter user endatronix made a Twitter bot called Randomly Generated Chubbyemu Titles, which generates and posts a Chubbyemu-esque video title every hour, with bizarre results.
* Example: "A Student Ate Suspicious Leftovers For Lunch. This Is What Happened To His Limbs."
===Presenting to the emergency room ☝️===
* Following the title read-out, Chubbyemu introduces the patient by their initials, age, and sex, followed by a brief pause, then "presenting to the emergency room", which is always accompanied by him pointing his right index finger upward. The catchphrase has many variations depending on the circumstances of the patient upon presenting to medical services.
*Example: "J.C. is a 21 year old woman, presenting to the emergency room with appendicitis."
===Emia means presence in blood===
*Throughout the video, Chubbyemu will mention medical terms that are often in Greek, prompting him to explain what each Greek medical term means.
* Since many of the medical analysis videos involve frequent use of medical conditions that end with "-emia", meaning presence in blood, it has become a running gag for Chubbyemu to emphasize himself when saying any terminologies that end with "-emia".https://youtu.be/Le-IKCLGT9A?t=301
*Similarly, after explaining each Greek term one by one, he combines them together to form the complete word as it is known. This has also spurred Internet memes of having a "high presence" of certain substances in blood.https://twitter.com/chubbyemu/status/1288618621489557506
*Example: "Hypoxemia. Hypo meaning low. Ox referring to oxygen, and emia meaning presence in blood."
=== Where sodium is, water will flow towards it=== 
*In videos that deal with cases with electrolyte imbalances in the blood, Chubbyemu demonstrates "a small science experiment" of soy sauce sealed in a plastic packet placed in a container of water to display distilled water undergoing osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane towards a solution with high salt or sugar concentration.
*This often goes with the catchphrase "Where sodium is, water will flow towards it".
*Example: "In this small science experiment, I dissolve salt in this water and place it into a semi permeable tube meaning that only water and nothing else can flow in and out of it."
===Everything was fine, he thought=== 
*Given the bizarre nature of the cases being analyzed, many of them involve patients who initially downplayed early symptoms or medical misconceptions prior to experiencing more severe symptoms. The way that this is written in the video has since become a catchphrase and a meme.
*Example: "If there’s a way to get someone to rub a whole tube of this cream in between their legs, it’ll be the funniest thing I’ll ever see," he thought.
