Doctor Reacts To Worst WWE Injuries Ep. 2

we watched WWE injuries before and you loved it so let's check out a few more let's get started PE Stone Cold Steve Austin showed wrestling had done to his health when he share this gruesome image of his elbow I know people think that's a gruesome image that's actually not a gruesome image at all some people can develop that simply from sitting at a desk and leaning too much on their electron Bersa and the Bersa remember is a small sack that sits inside different joints throughout the body but there's one that sits right here at the lron of the elbow if you have repeated trauma or maybe blood force trauma like probably he's about to experience what happens is that bursta starts getting flamed and fills with fluid due to the edema and inflammation as a result you get a golf ball siiz thing like this that is drainable and really the treatment for this is protecting it to make sure that it doesn't keep getting repeated trauma this often comes as the result of hitting the ring mat with their elbows repeatedly other wrestlers have suffered from Al cran bruses too such as John Cena and Sami Zayn yeah again this can happen from one of those big hits but it can happen from something as simple as bumping your arm walking by patients come in they get worried they're like do I have a tumor on my arm but as soon as we feel it and we do the initial drainage you see right away the fluid in it we do send it for cytology just to make sure there's nothing scary going on but it just it's very very very self-evident based off the clinical presentation that it's a lecron btis you have to watch it maybe put it on slow-mo but I actually did Rip a zero and I felt back whoa that that bad boy's gone you know it's gone he fully ripped his ear off the referee who picked up my ear was French spoke no English and wasn't able to tell me he had my ear can you imagine saying this story the referee did not know English so he could not tell me my ear was on the floor wanted here's the left ear okay there's the right oh wow he really lost the top portion of his ear give up my dream of becoming a carpenter because I couldn't that's a good joke yeah remember the ears cartilage there's not a lot of circulation there so you can lose it and as we've seen my Tyson can bite it see look at him you can see it you can see it Shawn Michael's famous lazy eye happened while he was wrestling a match HBK got hit in the face which caused Michael's retina to tear the injury became more and more noticeable leading to the showstopper getting a lazy eye usually this is more of a developmental issue early on in life if a child does not have good visual Acuity they can't see well through one eye the brain actually makes a decision to focus on the images happening on the other eye so that eye starts kind of looking in a different direction this also happens as a result if the eyes are not aligned well it's called strabismus if the eyes are malaligned the brain will choose one of the eyes and the other one will sort of become the LA ey and there are treatments depending on what's causing the condition obviously a retinal detachment is a very extreme form of that that requires urgent intervention like within 24 hours Edge gave Christian a conero on top of a ladder that wasn't your internet having trouble WB has actually edited out the chair shot in some versions of this match the chair shot gave Christian one of the worst concussions of his career and it's a miracle he he didn't have lasting damage oh my God that's so bad why would you ever hit someone's head like that the skull is protective of the brain but the brain rattles around within the skull and as a result the brain gets really damaged and then not only that he's at an incredible height so he will then fall with a lifeless body and why is it dangerous falling with a lifeless body because you can't protect yourself so things get inverted things get torn I mean so dangerous and the most famous spot in the match came when Shane would leap from the oh my God something bad's about to happen Sam I know it tell me elow drop on the Undertaker tell me what's about to happen on the announcers table but the Undertaker move out of the way at the last second meaning Shane went straight oh my God he stated I blew my belly button out an umbilical hernia hernia so a hernia is basically especially an abdominal wall hernia is a hernia when the abdominal contents actually penetrate the abdominal wall and start protruding out now that happens sometimes through the inguinal area which is the area where in a male the testes drop down from and the abdal contents can actually drop down into that area and then as a result end up in the scrotum where you can actually have intestines in your scrotum then also you can have the same thing happened through your umbilical area where there is already a weakness from child birth and as a result now the intestines when you bear down can be popping out when the intestines pops out and then the surrounding area tightens around it which can't happen that's called an incarcerated bowel and that's problematic because when you incarcerate a bowel you essentially choke it of its blood supply so imagine the int is sticking out uh of this like little weakness in your abdominal wall like your umbilical area and now the area tightens around it because of inflammation lack of blood flow starts happening to the intestine and it starts dying off wresters like Brock Lesnar and Bruno San Martino suffered from cauliflower ear the ear itself is very is primarily made of cartilage and that cartilage is avascular meaning it has no blood supply but there is a blood supply over it like right attached to it and if through trauma from pulling on the ear Etc you pull pull off that blood supply you start getting blood clot formation edema swelling blood pooling and as a result that cartilage becomes fibrous and dead and starts looking uh malformed like this Kurt Angle had call off our ear and despite having it drained the entry caused him to go deaf in his left ear I don't know if that's necessarily because of the cauliflower ear it could be simultaneous things happening within an injury but cauliflower ear on itself is damaged to the outer portion of the ear losing hearing not tempor like permanent loss of hearing has something to do internally with the ear like the middle ear another part of a wrestler's body that can be deformed is the chest several WR have had a noticeably wider Gap in their pectoral muscles as they progress in their careers the reason for this is due to microt trauma or more simply all the abuse they take from wrestling there's also a higher chance of PEC separation in those who use testosterone and steroids which has been commonly reported uh amongst wrestlers especially back in the day and what happens in in these instances in those who are taking hormone but are of older age meanwhile let's say you have someone who's 40 50 years old has normal testosterone levels for their age group so they're not taking hormone replacement therapy but they're trying to become Supra physiological meaning they're trying to get stronger better like they were when they were 20 then with those levels you start getting some muscle mass you start getting stronger you start developing some of that confidence that you get with testosterone is actually a byproduct of having testosterone and as a result you take on a bigger risk you push more weight the muscle is there to support it but the connective tissue is still 50 years old therefore it tears in Chon 2 while competing as an independent wrestler was having a match against an opponent named Reckless Youth a freak accident occurred and punk fractured his skull Punk said that when it happened he felt like someone had poured warm water inside his brain despite this Punk continued to wrestle and finished the match however he had to use a chair in order to leave the ring once backstage Punk collapsed and couldn't open his eyes skull fracture is quite dangerous cuz remember bleeding into an enclosed space puts tremendous pressure on the brain tissue and when there's pressure exhibited it's known as Mass Effect and that Mass Effect can actually lead to herniation of the brain which could be lethal it can lead to malfunction of the brain which can shut off the heart and lungs despite the seriousness of the injury CM Punk refused to take any medicine due to his strage beliefs instead Punk spent a month resting at a family member's home well there's no real medicine that we give to cure fractures so maybe he refused pain medication which is really impressive I feel like something with flame is is about to happen oh my God I'm beside myself I'm looking down at my chest because my chest is just bubbling up right now fles is just rolling the amount of pain that happens as a result of that is incredible cuz you have such sensitive nerve fibers that penetrate your skin and then also you got to think about the dehydration that starts setting in when a large portion of your skin is burned they're feeding me water there's a ring crew underneath my pod so I'm pouring it on there to try and ease that kind of pain and every time I look down like my Skin's bubbling up more and more yeah those are becoming a higher degree burn because of the damage that occurred some of the damage takes time to develop cuz it happens through edema and inflammatory response that takes time to happen during Mr Wonderful's time with Deb in the80s he suffered a severe injury in his right arm during a weightlifting accident this caused orndorf to suffer nerve damage in his right arm forcing him to retire from wrestling while orndorf eventually made a return he suffered from muscle atrophy which is the wasting or thinning of muscle mass what happened was Paul or right arm became smaller than his left so when you lose nerve ination or neuromuscular control of a certain muscle It's Not Unusual for that muscle to begin to atrophy because when you don't shoot nerve signals to a muscle and it doesn't activate it literally starts to atrophy CU remember when you shoot a nerve signal what ends up happening is these ion channels encourage the muscle to contract and through that the muscle stays functioning if you don't have muscular contraction the muscle begins to atrophy and the body begins to get rid of it and Bam they taking it Oh Oh no you're not Spider-Man he's in another time zone up there I mean time zones Don't Change by height but that's more like weather maybe there wasn't enough space for RVD to fully stand up though so Mr Monday night had to crouch due to the awkward position Roth Van Dam's knee accidentally landed on Triple H's throat the blow caused Tri to swell which began blocking his Airway oh no that's so dangerous unable to breathe thanks to having a thick neck and just plain luck the king of canes not only survived but finished the match there's Carion SE rings that go around the trachea which is the wind pipe and you could actually break those leading to tremendous swelling if the swelling gets so bad it blocks off the airway you could need to make an incision in the neck for that person to be able to breathe Rosemary just got slapped in the face oh I always get confused in the middle of these because I never know if they're screaming out in pain cuz they're acting or cuz it's really painful asking her he's asking he's asking her that's it she's tapping croud he's L know it's over let go let go it's over you're the winner wa she's refusing to let go this unscripted attack caused Rosemary to suffer strain triceps and biceps wow so she pulled her tendons that attached the bicep muscle the tricep muscle I feel like that should be pre-planned why would you want to hurt another performer during his WWE run from 2000 to 2005 Eddie guero's body doubled in size while this undoubtedly helped Advance his career it would unfortunately lead to his premature death Guerrero was found unconscious in his hotel room in November 2005 while being rushed to the hospital Eddie tragically died an autopsy revealed that Guerrero had an enlarge heart which was caused by steroids that can happen one of the unintended side effects of uh misusing certain steroids and using them in large amounts is negative effects on the heart when you're increasing pressure that the heart has to beat against the heart also becomes hypertrophic it becomes bigger and a bigger heart isn't better a bigger heart can become bigger because it's dilated or it can become more muscular and the muscle of a heart is cardiac muscle versus the muscle attached to your bone is skeletal muscle they're different muscles this muscle can hypertrophy and get big and you're happy and it's great but if a heart hypertrophies it's not as resilient doesn't relax as well therefore it doesn't fill as well therefore it doesn't circulate blood as well the heart has to maintain this really good balance of being strong being resilient being flexible but not ever being too dilated or too powerful or too hypertrophic fired up tonight opportunity to win his first he's holding two people oh his knee his knee Sam I saw it I saw his ACL oh my kneecap was high on my leg all right kneecap high on his leg means torious Patell tendon when they were bending my knee it was like the most excruciating feeling ever cuz he's probably grinding his kneecap his patella that is now loose just across his bone across his femur across his tibia H but the teller tendon ripped off the bone the reason why I knew knew that by the way is cuz the patella which is the kneecap if you tear the patella tendon which is on the bottom portion that connects the patella to the tibia it then moves up and it contracts it's much in the same way that if you tear your Achilles tendon and someone tells me oh my God I felt something pop in my calf and now my calf muscles really high up I know that you tore your Achilles or the same way that if your bicep suddenly goes up I know you tore your bicep muscle how about some MMA injuries click here to check that out and as always stay happy and healthy a
