Doctor Reacts To Home Alone Injuries

[Music] oh no it is officially the 30th anniversary of home alone it's one of my favorite movies of all time it's actually one of my first movies that i watched on vhs coming to the united states in 1995. boy did i just age myself i'm watching some of the most painful clips from the two movies i know some other channels have done this years and years ago let's give a huge thank you to them for coming up with the idea injury reaction time i can't seem to find my toothbrush so i'll pick one up when i go out today other than that i'm in good shape if you have ever shaved and then put aftershave on it does burn a bit because there are micro tears of the skin and when the alcohol seeps in there it actually causes burning and stinging i actually had a horrendous experience like this when i went swimming in the dead sea if you don't know what the dead sea is all you need is a picture to see the blocks of salt floating in it and i actually shaved my face before going and actually i think my body because i wanted to get an even tan when i went into the dead sea and i had those little micro tears from shaving oh my god my body caught on fire so i know what he feels like this is such a typical pediatric injury ankle sprains could be quite common here knee sprains and also because the shells actually fractured and broke like that those wooden sharp edges can give you a serious serious laceration that's nice presents for you be a good little fella now and open the door i'm assuming based on his reaction it hit him in the testicular area it had to hurt there's a lot of nerve endings there and it's also quite dangerous because there's a lot of blood flow there so if you rupture some of those blood vessels you actually get expansion and swelling it could actually lead to a condition known as testicular torsion where the spermatic cord that leads to the testicle actually kind of spins on itself and cuts off the circulation to the testicle which leads to a lot more pain and even the testicle dying if it's not treated surgically in time [Music] oh [Music] the reason he's probably doing the is he had the wind knocked out of him imagine landing so hard that it actually expels all the air out and you're not able to normally take a a breath in because remember in order to take a deep breath in your body has to create negative pressure in order to suck the air in and if you can't expand your ribs because they just got hit and they're uh dazed you can't create the negative pressure needed to take a deep breath oh no oh that fell right on his face you could easily fracture your orbit which is your uh the bone surrounding your eye like imagine if it hit him dead on into the eye you could lose the eye completely but what i don't understand here is how it hit him so perfectly on the forehead but then didn't break his nose immediately after getting a burn you don't want to necessarily go and put into something icy because that can actually exacerbate the burn it makes it feel worse so you want to run uh your burn under room temperature if anything the danger of receiving a burn especially on the hand is when burns heal they often form scar tissue that form contractures which actually lead the hand to be in a flexed position and when it's in a flexed position like this it makes it very difficult for it to be usable so a lot of occupational therapy physical therapy needs to be done in order to return the hand to normal also important to remember that there's multiple types of burns from heat meaning thermal burns electric burns chemical burns there's even ice burns like if you hold dry ice onto your hand that's like minus 100 degrees fahrenheit or whatever it is you can burn your hand with the ice that's why when we recommend icing your knee or your shoulder or something we always say put it over a piece of fabric so it's not directly on your skin because then you can actually cause yourself frostbite frostbite is essentially a burn oh no not only did he have a puncture wound from a nail in his foot he fell from like the eighth step if you ever are to get like a nail in your foot while it's important to get it out after a period of time you don't want to rush to do it yourself in case that it's hitting an artery and actually putting pressure on that artery and preventing you from bleeding out because it's very possible okay you pull it out and now you just have a ton of blood coming out and if you're not in a medical setting to address that that is a problem and make sure your tetanus is up to date oh that's a full thickness third degree bird the way that we do it in the medical setting to decide how severe someone's burns are outside of the first second and third degree we also give a percentage of the total body surface area that has been burned and we use the rule of nines and we decide what percentage is burned how we should adjust and we think about fluid replacement if a large percentage of the body's surface area has been burned that uh cripples a person's ability to keep their fluids and they actually become dehydrated and need fluids with electrolytes repleted quickly otherwise they can go into hypovolemic shock their kidneys can shut down and they could die as a result of this dehydration heads up [Music] a lot of people don't realize when you fall on your back you really don't support your head well so your head ends up hitting afterwards your brain actually suffers trauma onto the side that you got hit as well as the other side of the brain it's actually called a counter coup type of injury where the brain slides to the back hits the back of the skull but then because you landed and you shake it actually hits the front of the skull as well so you have injury on both sides of the brain marv what are you doing come on oh my god not only can you fracture ribs in the sternum if you hit like the point of maximum impulse from the heart and you hit it right at the wrong time in the middle of its beat you can actually stop the heart from beating this is like a known phenomenon in little league baseball if you hit a grounder and it hits the child in the chest right at that moment it could actually stop the heart and that's why there's mandated defibrillators that need to be present at little league games because of this well hello he did it did what oh she has a strong punch for a one-punch knockout easy easy to break a facial bone here easy easy to get a concussion here i feel like this is what logan paul vs floyd mayweather's gonna look like you get electrocuted through an alternating current it's actually really difficult to let go of whatever object is causing electrocution and you can start developing muscle spasms cramps shaking arrhythmias of your heart seizures all these things start going because your body has a natural electrical gradient the way that your heart beats the way that your brain fires once that is interrupted by this extraneous bit of electricity it's incredibly painful and damaging to your body no [Music] no we actually have criteria that we follow of when we should be cat scanning folks head when they come in from a trauma and part of that criteria is knowing the mechanism of injury falling 40 feet from the air onto a metal car and having it shatter like this is the definition of needing a cat scan brick from the fourth story whatever that is to the head you're not getting up from that if it hits on an angle especially that's death first of all good aim but that's death [Music] oh my god the second concussion is always worse than the first when you get your first concussion your brain gets shaken up there's inflammatory cells your brain is very susceptible to getting permanently injured so right here the fact that he got one concussion and then got hit with another brick he's getting six months of headaches six months of light sensitivity if not dying immediately like i don't know what's happening oh my god oh my god there's so much wrong with that he got shot in the groin with a nail that's gonna need a urologist like that's gonna need urgent surgery you need to see if any structures were damaged you need to put it back together in the face there's nerves in the face you can disrupt nerves you can lose sensation in the face [Music] okay like when you hear about people who survive skydiving accidents or falls it's almost usually because something broke their fall or they fell onto a hill where it was like an angle and their momentum carried them and they didn't just come to a complete stop my man here came to a complete stop why is that dangerous because your body comes to a complete stop but the force doesn't so the force goes right through everything all of the organs smash against themselves the bones break because they're hitting oh harry i've reached the top okay two bricks in the face from the three bricks from the roof maybe he got lucky two-story fall onto the face death like you're not surviving this like there's no human that's surviving this he's bleeding out internally just everything in his body should be broken at this point [Applause] yeah no no i know this is a movie but i'm trying to critique the medical accuracy nonetheless speaking of medical accuracy here's me pranking some of my close doctor friends or if you need a good laugh here's me reviewing some of the snl commercials that they had medical commercials you know medical advertisements because we do that here in the states as always stay happy and healthy
