Doctor Reacts To Swimming Injuries

doctors talk about water safety a lot and if they don't they should here's why let's react to some clips she was on vacation with her boyfriend and his family in the Bahamas when she posed with sharks for her Instagram oh my God I hope it's not a great white tiger or bull shark I heard those are the worst ones suddenly a 5- foot shark sinks its teeth into her arm you know what's Wild I'm pretty sure I have a picture of me swimming with these exact sharks in the same exact spot these photos capture the instant of the attack why is he taking photos dive in and help it was a very scary experience I was pulled underwater for about like 8 seconds that's a very specific time most people go for seven she said a little longer than seven Katerina was able to free herself but was left with this giant gash and teeth marks on her arm with shark bites they could be absolutely devastating especially from like a great white and you have that like very characteristic shape of a shark bite the majority of them though are not as devast ating is that but if you ask experts and I don't know I still feel a little weird about it they're like oh if you going in the ocean is so much safer from like a shark attack perspective you're much more likely to be involved in a car accident going to the beach than you are to be attacked by a shark like yeah but sharks are still scary what would you recommend what's the best way for me to get involved in to be jumping from quite a height well I think you can see the most imposing feature within this building is in fact the 10 m platform up there that's about 30 ft so shoulders forward okay exactly that last one land on your face is he an experienced diver I hope they're not letting just a random person do this remember when you jump from extreme Heights like 30 ft isn't extreme it is high water doesn't displace as quickly as your force is coming in entering the water and as a result the water acts as a solid surface almost and exerts massive pressure on you if you jump from a high enough spot it's like hitting a full-on concrete [Music] surface oh he's going to have bruising oh a that one went a little wrong in that you did land fully on your ass and I'm sure you're fully aware of that that's a bruis butock he tried walking in midair that was impressive I just thought I'd share with you uh some of the end results really just just take a look at this there's a lot of musculature there so there's a lot of superficial bleeding that's a hematoma girl versus python why is there a python in the pool yep that that's a young girl swimming with the giant Yellow Burmese python don't Burmese python eat like deer by like biting and choking them out the 250 lb snake it's Handler explains was always treated as a pet and part of the family the video by barl hog has caused quite the debate on social media about the safety of the 12-year-old being so close to the serpent yeah that seems really dangerous I've held one of these before they're really scary here's a video they won't do it anything at all okay they won't do anything you promise I promise I probably shouldn't promise that 27-year-old Nick native was vacationing with friends on Royal Caribbean Symphony Of The Seas when he made the Brazen leap from the 11th floor deck into shark infested water 100 ft below it's a miracle that he didn't lose his life and that he wasn't even seriously injured yeah that's really high hitting the water impact was pretty big cuz it was pretty high up and it impacted my tailbone and my neck pretty hard but you know luckily it wasn't anything serious luckily yeah why would you do that he admits he was still a little drunk from the night before you know that's one thing we don't talk about that young males the leading cause of death is accidents and a lot of times it's accidents due to behavior like this man you got to be careful out here a swimmer is saved from a treacherous rip current all rip currents there we go there was no way and heck I was letting him go the video starts with the hero in the ocean off The Jersey Shore when he sees a swimmer in distress you can see how rough the waves are with rip currents you really just want to do your best to try and stay calm lay on your back so that you don't waste your energy trying to fight the rip current some people say if you're a really good swimmer you can beat it no no no you can't some of the rip currents are as fast as like sprinters in the Olympics and I'm talking about like running the Grateful swimmer clutches a handle on the board and the two head for sure and remember rip currs don't pull you under they pull you out so that's why if you relax it gives you a better chance of survival finally they make it thank God I got to him at you know the right time because I I don't think he had much longer as predicted rip tides plague the waters up and down the East Coast over the Labor Day holiday and you can't always see them some people say oh if there no waves that means there's no rip card that's not always true and also please don't do the human chain thing that's not a good way of rescuing someone that's actually a way to get more people potentially in trouble so don't do that minj kidwise spent 6 months preparing for his next vacation but his trip deep diving off the shores of Bali was memorable for the wrong reasons deep ocean depths and then going skyh high on an airplane in such short time gave him decompression sickness that's why they they they tell you you have to be aware of this and as soon as we reached that altitude that's when it just like crashed and it just hit me 13 hours stuck on a flight back home and in horrible pain yeah so what happens in a situation like this with decompression sickness is when you go down into the depth of the ocean the pressure is higher so your body has more nitrogen which is one of the gases you inhale and as you have more of it if you come up really slowly you will naturally get rid of it but if you come up too fast or go up too high like you do on an airplane you could actually have a bubbling reaction of the nitrogen and as a result you can get terrible terrible aches terrible pains you can get even blockages in your blood vessels as a result of it my joints started hurting my elbows my knees everything started aching Min hudge crumpled to the floor at DFW Airport rushed to Medical City Frisco then Plano because here there's a hyperbaric chamber hyperbaric chamber get him 5 hours he spent in this chamber getting him down to pressure and it worked that was kind of humbling it's like hey when you take hes over it and you're warned not to do something you're not God yeah and one of the biggest issues with decompression sickness is denial where people think they're fine and actually could be very very damaging it's video sparking Fierce reaction a six-month-old girl left to fend for herself after tumbling into a swimming pool why is it because she knows mom Carrie Morrison is coming under Fire for standing by as her daughter Josie is lured into the pool by a brightly colored sand I've seen that there is some way to teach I'm not an expert on this but I've seen there are some swim experts teaching children to swim in this way the video has gone viral with online comments like I couldn't watch more than a few seconds and people are crazy I started Josie so early on the lessons because I lost my son Jake in a drowning accident I mean if she's doing this with careful supervision she's not chucking her child and walking away and saying I'm going to cook so when Josie was born Carrie made a vow to teach the little one life-saving techniques at carefully supervised swimming classes for kids as young as 6 months old look with a certified instructor I don't know how you get mad it does look scary though it it my palpitations did go it's a race to save This Woman's life she's fallen into freezing water oh that's so dangerous Miller was unable to get herself out because her body went numb from the icy water oh that's so terrible because when you get into cold water it can put you in a State of Shock so quickly like hypothermia sets in like this Sheriff deputies rush to the scene at this point Miller is dead weight take hand take other completely num come on girlfriend come on one two three out of the water She lays on the dock I can't move she's alive the cop doesn't seem to be that worried she's like I can't move I mean rapid rewarming here is crucial and rewarming isn't just done with like blankets and stuff you could actually do warm fluids and that helps speed up the warming process a relaxing day at the pool turns into a freezing moment of pure panic a little boy walks through the open gate yeah why is the gate open this is why we have pool alarms and pool gates then in an instant The 18-month-old Falls in in a split second his father turns into Superman look at him make a jaw-dropping dive over the 4ot fence oh straight into the pool saving his little boy Valiant effort but I'm pretty sure he could have gone around for the extra second but I guess points for doing it with Flare pool shock it happened early this afternoon three children in the pool apparently jolted by an electrical current oh that's so bad the electricity can spread so quickly in water and then go through our bodies if it paralyzes you or even knocks you unconscious you can drown what happens is it could literally shut your nervous system down it can impact your Hardware creates an arhythmia which could also make you uh fall unconscious it's so dangerous for almost every organ in your body there are like a handful of deaths every year related to shocks in Pools and Hot Tubs our lifeguards were able to pull them out after the power was shed off fire officials say they're investigating the possibility that the pool was electrified by a malfunction in the filtration and pump systems or else the electrical system that powers the pool spotlights and that's the same reason why you never want to have your blow dryer working next to you when you're taking a bath there's like a little label on every blow dryer for that exact purpose five people including two children had to be rushed to the hospital because a chlorine Cloud had formed inside the home they were trying to prepare that chemical for their swimming pool oh my God yes so chlorine can be a gas that's very very problematic it's an irritant and the longer you're exposed to it the less you can recognize it interestingly enough my grandpa was just mixing um chlorine into a tank for the pool and it exploded my grandpa he has it in his eyes my grandma has it in her eyes my mom can't breathe my sister has chemical burn and my cousin has chemical burn I don't know what kind of chemical burn is and why it exploded you could get irritant dermatitis which is like a type of contact dermatitis from chlorine exposure but that's usually due to like sensitivities hyper sensitivities this seems like it's more explosion based but I don't know what created the explosion lying in a bed on the fourth floor of Health Park Hospital Zachary shares the shock still gripping him been a hard thing to go through to wake up every morning and not see your foot there anymore he believes it started when he waited into the Waters of Fort Meers beach in less than 48 hours he was hospitalized they took me up to IU and within a few hours they were cutting my foot off oh is this vibrio he's sharing his story B based on his firm belief the trouble was in the water Fox for checked and these recent water test results from the State Health Department show no advisories along Fort Meers Beach or elsewhere in Florida for that matter it made me feel horrible because this is the only way that I could have contracted this disease is at water well because you contracted it doesn't mean that it's ever present it could be unfortunate unlucky situation I mean necrotizing fasciitis is probably what's being described here where it's literally like of your body are dying off and it usually happens as a result of a bacteria known as vibrio vulnificus pretty rare but it does happen and when it happens it's very very bad 24-year-old Robert bun drowned during a contest to see who in the bachelor party could hold his breath underwater the longest he suffered shallow water blackout which happens when swimmers hold their breath too long they lose Consciousness and drown was no one paying attention while he was doing that they thought he was just is good guy's been underwater for like 7 minutes okay is he breathing at all or he breathing he's not breathing he's not breathing God please I'm going to tell you how to give him mouth to mouth okay we are giving him mouth to mouth right now yeah when you're out of um air for that long that's where there's one differentiating factor when you have a drowning victim you do give mouth to mouth with chest compressions as opposed to if you just find someone down on the street there it's about calling for L chest compressions only no rescue breaths two young boys out in the sun way too long are on one's back as big as a fist their skin scaling and cracked this is so terrible these are significant significant degree burns from the Sun and even getting you know five of these Burns in your like teens 15 to 20 raises your risk of getting melanoma by like 80% the boy's mom says the daycare center took them to a Splash Pad but they ran out of sunscreen and the boys didn't want to wear their shirts this on a day when the heat index was 110° is that the heat index or is that just the temperature what is the UV index look what they came home with large painful blisters on their backs and shoulders their brothers were airlifted to a hospital Burn Center yeah you you legitimately have to go to a burn unit get rehydrated pain control sometimes you need sedation this newly released surveillance video shows two boys in an unguarded Lazy River Pool well it's a lazy river the boys were playing over a drain when one of them lifted a grate and somehow got stuck oh no stuck in the drain at theole at a minute 55 a vacationing Pennsylvania corrections officer reaches the submerged child and struggles for several minutes attempting to free the boy incredibly he also performs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation underwater I don't know if that's mouth resuscitation because the child is still with it so he's just giving him oxygen it's when police officers arrive and dive in to help the boy's been underwater for 7 minutes and 20 wow that's a long time now all are working frantically to free him what are the police officers going to do when Hotel maintenance turns off the pool's pumps they're finally able to free him 7 minutes and 40 seconds after he first went underwater officers immediately started CPR on the boy that's not a comfortable position for chest compressions you got to get out of the water Witnesses say the boy's leg was lodged in a filter pipe trapping him underwater wow that's so scary pools in water 7 and 1/2 minutes and he surved did you know that cats can be extremely problematic and I'm not just talking about their behavior so click here to check that out and as always stay happy and healthy [Music]
