Gwyneth Paltrow 'not welcome on this channel' being censored bc of her false medical claims and quakery is hilarious 😂
I was wondering why it said that 💀
Me too. Thx for the explanation.
That was honestly the biggest laugh I had while watching the video. It's brilliant.
Oh that's why, thanks for clearing that up
Yeah, that one got a good laugh out of me when I saw that 😂
I watched this with my EMT husband and he kept yelling at the screen “OMG, TAKE THEM TO THE HOSPITAL!!!” He would never do any of these out in the field 😂.
Kudos 2 your husband!
It find it funny the only reason to bring them to the hospital is to avoid libality
That's awesome
i'm also a new EMT, and i was screaming the same thing, so it looks like i was trained well lol
Did you give the poor dude lots of lovins afterwords to make up for the inevitable trauma and nightmares? /j
Speaking of paramedics giving ridiculous diagnoses, I started having seizures earlier this year and the paramedic stood there and lectured my friend about marijuana and claimed I had a fentanyl overdose that was laced in medical marijuana. She talked about this for 30 minutes WHILE I WAS ACTIVELY SEIZING instead of immediately getting me to the hospital.
I think them lecturing your friend and wrongly diagnosing you was stupid, but I'm pretty sure when someone's seizing, it's actually best for them to just lay that person down and make sure they aren't vomiting or hurting themselves in anyway (by hitting objects or hitting their head). Moving you probably would've been difficult, and putting you in the ambulance could've had you end up falling off the stretcher or hitting equipment
@@Doylie4122true but paramedics can usually give something to reduce the severity or length of the seizure
@laurens3857 They usually only inject medicine in a time like that when they notice the seizure is still going on after a certain amount of time or is severe.
@@Doylie4122 thats correct, but that timeframe is 100% not 30 min. Especially if the called 911 for the seizure, meaning she was seizing for longer than 30 min. Meds are given as quickly as possible/appropriate to stop a seizure so that we can safely transport to a hospital so the ED can determine what caused it. Unless the medic was actually and EMT waiting on a medic to arrive there is no reason to hold meds that long (EMTs still wouldn't wait that long)
@nebularose0 They do not inject someone as quickly as possible, but they also don't have to wait long to see if they're considered a medical emergency. Dr. Mike even supports my side in his lifeguard video
This video made me realise that we NEED a collaboration between Dr Mike and Jason (a firefighter + paramedic from the 'Fire Department Chronicles' channel) reacting and roasting emergency tv shows!! With so many shows having absurd inaccuracies, they could easily make a series with multiple seasons... Also, the hilarity from the differences in approach on how they try to fight against the absurdity and frustrations will be off the charts - from Jason's quips practically dripping in sarcasm to Mike's calmer digs while trying to provide genuine advice! On a side note with the volcano and the magnetic MRI clips, Jason had also reacted to it and it was hilarious! Really makes you shocked and understand exactly how ridiculous the show is to emergency responders
I concur! I actually saw Jason react to this first.
Okay, I'd seen those clips before and I couldn't remember where! Thanks for the reminder. Now I want to go re-watch Jason's take on them.
Yes please! I love those clips.
YES!!! I need this collab! ❤
I agree! This is a collab that we definitely NEED!!! PLEASE!!! 🙏🏻🥺
I think I understand why we don't get as many of these show reactions as we want. Each one of these takes a toll on Dr.Mike's Mental Health XD
I know right, he's just like... I've said this before and this is how it's wrong. It seems like he is frustrated having to say the same thing over and over and I get it, haha!
He is very bad at suspension of disbelief and for these sorts of shows, especially if it's in a field adjacent to one's own, that is essential. One of his primary complaints was about them not taking the people to the hospital right away. We all know that's how it would really go, but since this is a show about first responders, they are going to get the spotlight. And if you're going to watch the show you just have to accept that.
@@Ryujishida It's just a joke, Chill
@EzLagz I am very chill. I don't see what there is about my reply that wasn't chill. I just was pointing out something observable. You can see how mentally exhausted he is for this at the end of the episode.
@@Ryujishida bro really had to write and essay on my reply
We should start a petition to have Mike be a tech advisor on ONE episode of 911.
Yesssss😂
He could even have a role. Teaching a CPR class and chastising people for their poor chest compressions.
@@Blasted2Oblivion Please!
@@Blasted2Oblivionthe reason they can’t use proper chest compressions is cuz the actors are yknow… not actually dead and proper chest compressions aren’t good for alive people, idk how some people don’t realize this
@@catherinebobatherine2152 I know but it wouldn't make my idea any less funny to those who know this channel.
"No one is dead until they are warm and dead" is straight out of the Advanced Emargency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured textbook. The reason why is because hypothermia can slow the heart down so much that heart rate is imperceptible so we make sure the person is warm enough to have a heart beat before determining that they're dead.
U a doctor?
Oh, interesting. I know that because I grew up by the sea. You don't give up on a drowning victim until they're warm.
Thank you for explaining! I remember learning about this in the beginning of nursing school, but your explanation was really helpful! And that makes a lot of sense.
"not dead till warm and dead" is very common on the farm. You can revive a lot of animals by warming them and providing stimulation (vigorously rubbing with a towel or hands).
yep, that is some actually legit First Aid stuff, at least for animals anyway lol another one i actually found out through experience is that shouting at the them while theyre giving up (on their life) can also sometimes work surprisingly
Dr. Mike educates so hard that in the first clip when he yells, "someone call 911", I could literally hear Dr. Mike in my head saying, you can't just yell call 911, you have to assign the task 😂
bro same lol. I could hear it in the back of my head.
Thank god I wasn’t the only one
Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing!
Same
Listen man I’m reading the other messages and I don’t want to be the fourth person to say it, but… same
As someone who works with MRI, I have never seen a machine were the emergency turnoff (quench button) are placed on the machine. Normally the quench button are placed in the controlroom so it always can be reached and without the risk of bringing more metal inside the scanners magnetic field.
Right? I was thinking thats the most obvious thing! 😂
i was like whyyyyy is it on the machine.... like how stupid is it
Well and good... AND don't get me wrong, you're correct to the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge... I have one TINY little bitty point to add, though... I'm JUST a woodworker and part-time tinker... I BUILT my own shop, down to the wiring... Since I do work with a few large power tools and they ARE dangerous, I wondered at the marvel of "emergency cut-off switches" myself... AND I came up with a simple redundancy plan (because everything's made CHEAP as possible, frequently in China)... SO I just wired in a separate "dedicated" circuit breaker to the most treacherous machines... you know... like the Tablesaw that's so notoriously deadly... Rather than pin ALL my hopes of rescue on a single "wookie-button" on the side of the saw, I can have a breaker in the "fuse box" that shuts down power to that specific wire and outlet, and the saw... simple... Now, I can NOT POSSIBLY be so much smarter than the electricians and engineers behind the construction of hospitals... Stands to reason, just in case the specific "emergency shut-down device" for the MRI/CT scanner/whatever fails, or is rendered inoperable, there would be a dedicated circuit breaker in the main panel... somewhere... Might be a call to Maintenance, or some supervisor's knowledge... BUT flip a switch and power goes to zero... It's electromechanical, so whether the thing over-heats or someone physically shuts it down at the panel, there can be NO failure other than power being denied... simple as that... Scenes like this one REALLY get under my skin... These machines, by nature, pretty much HAVE to have at least 3 methods of shutting them down... The ordinary operations' "shut down procedure" (because large sensitive electronics have computers attached and flip-switches don't play nice with software or memory)... The emergency cut-off (usually at the operating counter in the control room/corner/booth or whatever... AND the main panel circuit breaker for those few situations where even the control booth/room becomes a "no-go". It's just acting silly for no good reason but "we need a plot and can't write anything compelling". ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 As a design engineer myself, reading your explanation gave me back the braincells that died whilst watching that scene. XD Thank you :)
@@Scherzkeks4104 Always welcome! I'm glad I could interject a little more "common" sensibility for "the regular folks" to think about and understand (hopefully, anyways)... AND thank YOU for both the kind words, and for reading! ;o)
The liquid mercury just chilling on the pastrami sandwich is so funny to me
Lying to kids about if something hurts is my biggest medical pet peeve. I meet so many parents especially that mean well and want to calm down their kid by saying there won’t be any pain or discomfort but it’s such an easy way to make a child distrust and fear medical professionals
This is actually probably why I have such a deep distrust of medical professionals and have such horrible medical anxiety. I have a very vivid memory of getting held down and restrained for a shot because I was so afraid
As a Norwegian paramedic, the idea of someone not being dead before they're "warm and dead" is something we're taught.
I don't think you should yell it at the parent(s) when they ask if their child is dead though! Although it is true and there have been some remarkable cases of survival from cold water drownings.
Yeah I was shocked Dr. Mike never heard that saying about hypothermia victims. I'm a lowly phleb/lab tech and I've heard it.
Yeup. I remember hearing that on an episode of Chicago Med when there was this kid who fell into the river and the staff were rotating chest compressions for like hours.
I'm Swedish and I remember a girl drowning in ice cold weather and surviving being a big story here
We had a case in Sweden where a teen fell into cold water and was "dead" for 6 hours. His body temperature dropped to 14,5°c.
"When thunder roars, go indoors" - greatest words have never been spoken. Thank you Doc Mike!
@@lindasamba4816thunder is the sound, lightning is the light. You see lightning and then hear the thunder. But quite often, you’ll hear thunder before lightning as the lightning is far away at first and comes closer as the storm moves closer.
What about chest compressions
@@mynameisjefffromdowntheblo7649oh no. You don't preform CPR unless they don't need it.
The Thunder I know doesn't roar, she howls because she is a wolf, not a tiger. You know mythology and stuff.
Yes?
One thing that I found funny is how as soon as the under water volcano scene started an ad came on and it was about heart burns
The scene itself even looks like it's straight out of a heartburn medication commercial 😂
"not welcome on this channel" over gwenyth paltrows face 😂😂😂😂😂 bro. That got me.
12:49 The “you’re not dead until you’re warm and dead” is a real thing that they teach EMTs. My mom trained as an EMT and in her class they say that because if you are cold and dead you can still be revived. It may not be that your heart has actually stopped, just slowed to a point where it’s undetectable. You have to warm the body up before you can actually confirm that they are dead.
I think I also heard it on Greys Anatomy when Meredith drowned
My first aid teacher told us the same thing
i heard that from NCIS. When Ducky had a guy that died because he was left out in the cold. And the guy jolted awake (later he died though)
The point is you aren't waiting in the field to figure that out. You take the drowning victim to the hospital where they have the resources to revive them if possible.
@@edcrichton9457If the heart is stopped then you would start cpr and shock them in the field, just like you would with any other cardiac arrest. The “warm and dead” thing just means that the persons metabolic demand is basically nothing so they probably haven’t experienced too much cell death and your outcome might be better than you’re expecting, even if they’ve been like that for a while. AEMTs and paramedics can also give warm IV bags if you’re able to get the heart going again
I'm an EMT and the paramedics who taught my course would oftentimes remark that having an EMT on scene can actually be more helpful than a medic, because medics can get caught up trying to do complicated field procedures, while EMTs are more focused on transport and getting definitive care in the hospital.
Just graduated as an EMT myself, currently studying for National Registery. You're absolutely correct. One of my preceptors told me "medics save patients, EMT's save medics" and it's true. We're their extra set of eyes/ears/hands. There were a handful of times on ride alongs where I was correcting a medic over little things like which leads go where on a simple 4 lead lol
What’s the different between both of them
@@werid_kid2967 a paramedic can give stronger drugs and perform some medical procedures like intubation or a cricothyrotomy, an EMT can give a limited amount of basic medications (nitro, aspirin, glucose, ect) and can only do smaller things like splinting broken bones, stopping bleeding or other noninvasive procedures
I used to be a lifeguard, we had a training once where a couple of EMT's showed up (we were doing full rescue simulations so the guards would know what to tell EMT's and how to interact with them during a rescue) after everything was over I was chatting with one and yeah, he basically said the same thing. Also cracked some jokes about appreciating that lifeguards did all the messy stuff as he hated getting his shoes wet. Nice guy.
EMTbro, medicbro here! Thanks keeping an eye on things! We normally got a million things on the mind. Good to have a partner who can keep us moving in the right direction.
WHEN THE PARAMEDICS SAID “He’s not dead until he’s warm and dead” GAVE ME FLASHBACKS TO GREYS ANATOMY S3 E16-17 when RICHARD WEBBER SAID “She’s not dead until she’s WARM AND DEAD”
Dr. Mike quietly losing his sugar honey ice and tea in these videos will forever be funny to me😂😂😂
Love the paramedic telling the person with the mutant worm hanging out of her nose to close her eyes. That's the exact medical action to take. The patient closing their eyes ensures that they can't see me closing my eyes too 👍
I've just watched this and my cats have roundworms at the moment and now I'm in panic 🥲 I mean, they get treated and I get tested but Jesus, I didn't need that right now 🙈
@@frizzlefry3465 Round worms can get that big and that actually happened to a woman she sneezed and a round worm came out of her nose and ear it's front and back So out of all the outlandish things on the 911 as Mike said they really get big and can definitely come out of your mouth and nose
@thepubknight6144 Well, thank you very much, that is a very lovely thing to say of you. 😄 But on a serious note - it really depends on the kind of subspecies you're dealing with.
@@frizzlefry3465 😂😂 Yes there is the good news it that they can be found long before they get that big or killed and surgically removed without the person knowing 😊
@@thepubknight6144 New fear activated. Thanks.
this show makes me miss the show "rescue 911." that show was about ACTUAL 911 calls, recreating the scene and how it was handled by medical professionals. i was obsessed with it when i was a kid because i was hit by a car and was secretly hoping to see myself on an episode.
I found those on youtube and I loved them. Knowing that they were on TV as 911 was rolled out across North America makes it even better. I think I also read that when possible the actual people help in the re-enactments which is also great because it doesn't need professional acting to tell the story.
I remember that show! They almost always interviewed the rescued person at the end. I remember maybe two where they didn’t make it. One was a drug overdose, and I think they showed that one on purpose to scare kids away from drugs.
Hey mom and dad! Look! It's me! Remember when that happened? Parents: 😱
Sadly the real thing isn't as dramatic and sensational as "we have to strip to reach the machine shutoff button because it was put on the machine itself instead of the machine controls inside the very safe and easily accessible control room".
untold stories of the ER is kinda like that but it was stories from the nurses and doctors working in hospital, they dont make new episodes anymore but you can still find it on cable
dr Mike You have no idea how thankful I am you cut out the part where she vomited. I have emetophobia and when I heard you say choking on vomit I realized you cut it out, this helps so much!
I found it interesting that aspirating on vomit was brought up. I actually did that in my sleep and had to go to the ER since I was having severe breathing difficulties. Definitely one of the scariest things to ever happen to me.
The fact that they got several seasons just goes to show that people love something crazy even if it's medically inaccurate. I also love the fact that Doctor Mike and his editors be like, "Gwyneth Paltrow is not welcome on this channel", lmao.
Honestly I watch for the characters, the show is actually really good 😅
WHY!! im going crazy i cant find out some big controversy.... what is it! i need to know!
@@mrjkr4945 "Gwyneth Paltrow has made a significant number of controversial claims in the past. Some notable incidents include selling a spray that claimed to protect against psychic attacks, and advocating for unscientific practices like energy healing. Goop was fined $145,000 in 2018 for making false health claims about its jade eggs and vaginal-steaming products. She has also promoted a $90 “Psychic Vampire Repellent” spray and a $1,000-a-month facial that involves using a machine to puncture the skin with tiny needles. In 2017, Gwyneth Paltrow came under fire for promoting a healing sticker that apparently contained NASA space suit material. The product claimed to rebalance the energy frequency in our bodies, which was quickly proven to be false. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the actress faced criticism for promoting products and practices that claimed to boost the immune system and protect against COVID-19. This included supplements, vitamins, and infrared saunas. In March 2020, Goop was accused of profiting off the pandemic by selling a “defense” supplement pack for $112. She shared an Instagram post from a chiropractor who claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine caused miscarriages and stillbirths, which was debunked immediately. Medical experts pointed out that there was no scientific evidence to support Gwyneth Paltrow’s controversial claims. Some of the products were actually deemed to be harmful."
Although the calls can be pretty wacky the characters are awesome, and the actors really blew me out of the water last season with some of the episodes
Nobody is watching this show, or any medial drama, to see or hear 100% accurate medial advice or procedures.
This is the first episode I've watched since the passing of my daughter. The call for "chest compressions" rings louder now than it has in the many years I've followed your content. EMS, ever vigilant and applied in their duty, utilized this tool for over an hour. Though it did not return my child to life, I knew it was the only hope. I knew, from watching this channel, that "paddles" are a Hollywood fantasy for a stopped heart. It helped me accept that the best that could be done, was being done, and by experts. Thank you for the continuous, clarion call of this life-saving instrument. Though its statistical efficacy is sobering, the potential is nonetheless crucial.
As a father, with four young children, i cannot even begin to understand how much pain you and your family are in. I almost lost my son, and it almost destroyed me. The idea of losing him, or one of his sisters fills me with a sick and heavy fear. I know,. from my time in medicine, that my condolences, my well wishes, arent that impactful, but please, if you ever feel the need, dont hesitate to reach out to someone. Grief is powerful, and its not a thing anyone should ever face alone.
I’m So sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your lose
I’m so sorry for your loss omg.
Very sorry for your loss, that’s absolutely heartbreaking💔🕊️
Fun fact: there is actually a breathable liquid. It is a liquid so rich with oxygen that it can fill your lungs and you can breath it, though not perfectly. It is called perfluorohexane. It has a far higher density than water, and it has more oxygen than human blood proportionally. Perfluorohexane (PFC) is mainly used in medical treatments such as helping premature infants, cardiac arrest, and reducing inflammation in the brain and lungs. PFC, being so dense, also means it is excellent for withstanding pressure/gravity. Deep sea divers are starting to use PFC because it helps their lungs not collapse or implode when they go so deep. They are also thinking about implementing PFC in pilot and astronaut suits to help tremendously with reducing the effects of G-force. The rumor that perfluorohexane is used as a modern form of torture is likely a myth. The rumor states that many people go unconscious as their lungs are filled with PFC, their bodies believing they are drowning and getting so distressed that they faint. They then are woken up later, told that they were drowned to death temporarily and then revived. Again, this is probably not true because, while uncomfortable, PFC isn’t that distressing to the body even if you don’t know what’s happening.
8:20 it is a hospital, you’re telling me they didn’t have a hospital uniform or a spare pair of scrubs!
Time is an important factor. It takes time to put clothes on. If my life is at risk, I don't care if you're butt ass naked, help me immediately.
2:05 on a non medical note, the glass Liza broke was not tempered, which breaks serious construction code. If it was tempered, the glass would have broken into little shreds and blunt pieces. However, this untempered glass pane broke into larger and sharper pieces, which become extremely dangerous to people nearby because they can get deep cuts from it. Tempered glass has to be the glass type in any window/wall if there is a potential for people to run into it and break it. The more you know 👍
I was thinking the same thing. That was Hollywood "sugar glass". Using actual code compliant, tempered glass would be rather dangerous for the rest of the actors in the room. That stuff does literally "explode" into rather small pieces. We had an Ikea glass desk break; it threw glass 60ft... covering the conference room, out the door into the lobby, and hallway - and that was a desktop with a plastic coating that was supposed to prevent that. You would not be able to break that glass by walking into it, or hitting it with a hammer. (the FX guys would break it with a small explosive charge, or "nail" to the side/end) A window in my office building was broken by a lawn mower. It shatters cleanly, but it's laminated on both sides, so nothing goes anywhere. That's exterior glass. Interior glass won't necessarily be laminated, because that plastic ("lexan") is easy to scratch.
also stock sound effects!
Oh yeah, properly tempered glass is pretty safe. Obviously it's still glass, and you should still be careful, but it basically breaks into little blunt cubes.
I love the absolutely ridiculous scenarios the writers come up with. They are sooooo far out in left field! I’m a nurse and totally enjoy yelling at the tv while this is on.😊
My moms a nurse and when I watch this she does the same thing 🤣
Lol same 😂
I heard someone say that the scenarios in this show were based on real events, but I don’t know if that’s true.
@@mask938 You do realize that being based on real events does not mean it was a real event, right? Much like the National Enquirer, women give birth every day. They do not give birth to baboons or aliens!
I'm hijacking your comment to say, I find it hilarious that the guy who stuck the toy car up his nose is also Zack from Big Bang Theory, and that is 100% something he would do. I'm a little sad I didn't see any other comments pointing that out 🤣
Gwyneth Patrow being sensored was too smooth 😂😂
I'm a firefighter and EMR, I tried to watch this show and couldn't even make it through a whole episode. I was yelling at the screen as much as you were. "Package and transport!"
9:14 Love that he went from saying “she’s pregnant” to “really aggressive parasite”, like “yeah same thing” 💀
Lol
Babies do suck out the mother's nutrients 😂
Are you saying he's wrong?
@@MadAliceInWonderlandfetuses are basically parasites if you squint
@@IMADINOSAURNOTABIRD he’s saying having a “aggressive parasite” or “being pregnant” are the same thing
Doctor Mike looked like he had totally reached his limit of ridiculousness by the end of this. He went from casually making fun of it to looking legitimately angry. Fire Department Chronicles does a fun series where he green screens himself into these shows to make them medically more realistic. I highly recommend checking it out. And maybe a Collab, please?!
I *love* those. I'd actually really enjoy seeing them talk together regardless of what form it took. It could be a review or just trading stories.
The total annoyed rage of Dr. Mike about these supposed 'medical' diagnosis' is hilarious. 😂
As a fan of the 9-1-1 universe, this was hilarious. But also Dr. Mike, as a 9-1-1 fan....we know. We know. 😂
You are 100% correct! As a medic, we stabilize, pack 'em, and drop them off for people who have a LOT more school then we do! I was also taught, "you are not dead till you're warm and dead."
I have a question tho, how many people die on their way to the hospital or on the field because they needed immediate surgery or smth right then? Idk if you’ve seen station 19.. but I think the whole Physician Response Team was an awesome idea, if we had the funding… which we do they just don’t want too. Actually apparently I think I saw someone in America say they are doing smth similar which is exciting?
Sorry I said so much
@@starfish4442You're not going to do surgery on the side of the road. If someone is that bad off, it just isn't their day and nothing you do is going to save them. You have to understand surgery comes with its own set of risks and is also hard on the body. If someone is going to die en route, chances are slim they'd have survived through surgery, too.
@@starfish4442paramedics and other first responders don’t have the equipment OR the training/knowledge to perform surgery, especially how often you would need a specialist or sub-specialist
Love these types of videos. Every time a medical show is watched, I'm always anticipating the first mistake they make.😅 Also the sarcastic laugh at the end killed me! 😂 Love the new studio setting. ❤
me too its thats why i love watching him😆
Yeah, that laugh at the end made me laugh the most. That and, what was he criticizing the guy's tie? LOL Now I'm imagining the guy wearing a plaid tie over a plaid shirt. Even funnier.
I have chronic Hyponutrimia. Many a time I've been to hospital because of it until one day I was diagnosed with it. This is the first time in 10+ years I've ever seen someone mention it. Very cool
8:30 Not to mention those magnets turn off by EXPELLING LIQUID HELIUM, (The "fog" that appears after the quench button was pressed) they'd be passing out because so much damn helium evaporated and replaced the air...
I once created a medical E-Learning module for MRI safety. And that TV scene triggers me all kinds of ways. So much is wrong there. From the multiple emergency shutdown buttons in the surveillance chamber, to the fact that it takes 5-15 minutes for the machine to totally stop the magnetic field. And that little puff of smoke... well, that is liquid nitrogen and will kill you if you breathe too much of the stuff. By the way... that dude is dead. No way he survived an accident like that.
The gaz could also be liquid helium... can't quite remember. But whatever it is, it will suffocate you.
@@tehweh8202 Even if worse if it was liquid oxygen. Explosive, rather than a suffocant.
Liquid helium, and according to an MRI quench safety presentation it has been known to overpressure the MRI room if the emergency vent collapses as it evaporates.
Also, bringing that metal stretcher is already a major red flag in my perspective! TV shows really make these “worst case scenarios” ridiculous when you look at the safety hazards in those scenes…
@@tehweh8202 I don't know about MRI but the related NMR machine (Chemistry) uses both liquid nitrogen and liquid helium and we have oxygen sensors and alarms to evacuate in case any of them were to accidentally quench. That little puff of vapour was hilarious. I am hoping the hospitals have robust ventilation to quickly draw the nitrogen and helium out!
Dr. mike, not only critical with medical accuracy but also with fashion choices
Legal Eagle taught him well
9-1-1 Lone Star emergency procedures are like what we do in People Playground. Diagnosing patient and saving them outside of hospital.
As a 911 fan it is cool to see doctor Mike react to the wild med scenes in this show.
I once stuck a Polly Pocket shoe up my nose when I was three. My mom had to rush me to the hospital, and the shoe is now memorialized in a scrapbook. So I can relate to the kid with the truck up his nose. The only differences were, the shoe was much smaller than the toy truck, and they legit put me in a straight jacket to get the shoe out of my nose.
Was it wedged in there super tight? Or was there another reason you couldn’t blow it out?
The confusion about 12:46 "they are not dead until they are warm and dead" is actually refferred to 4T and 4H of resuscitation "The mnemonic "4H&4T" was proposed as a reminder to assess for Hypoxia, Hypovolaemia, Hypo/Hyperkalaemia, Hypothermia, Thrombosis, cardiac Tamponade, Toxins, and Tension pneumothorax." Meaning that you cant pronounce a person dead until you have uncovered all reversible causes which are the 4T and 4H, and one of them is Hypothermia- which means until a person is warm they cannot be pronounced dead
Man, that blur at 6:40 is savage 🤣
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, and I was always told not to have a shower or bath or be in or around warning if it is storming or there is lightning in the vicinity, so good to know that is true. I was blessed enough to know three of my great-grandmothers. One of them told me that when she was young (we are talking sometime in the 1880’s or 1890’s, I think), there was a thunderstorm, and she said this big ball of fire/electricity rolled around the ceiling and into another room. I’ve heard of that phenomenon before, and it always happened at least 100 years ago, so I’m wondering what they did in building things then that might have caused that. I believe they call this St. Elmo’s Fire.
I love how calm you are when you see the worm, if I saw that work I'd be seeing you in the hospital for shock.
Apparently in a company I once worked for some time before I started a manager had a panic attack, he was on the ground and the CEO, who was also based in the office, just stepped over him. So that first scene just seems like a regular corporate environment 😆
😮 OMG

the noise the kid made
I love 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 lone star and I found dr. Mikes channel when I watched his 9-1-1 episode.. I love both this channel and show ❤
3:47 I once went to a kids museum when I was little, like chilling having a great time learning. Then I came across a haunting exhibit where it was things that had been pulled out of kids’ throats, noses and ears. They had things inside a display case, each one going up in size and under it was the child’s name and age. They did say that all the kids were okay. But it still haunts my dreams to this day. 😝
Interesting… reminds me of the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, where they have a giant collection of weird things found in people.

That sounds awesome! I went to the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Louis when I was in high school. One of the displays contained all of the items extracted from the stomach of a person with pica.

I got sick once and i told my mom i cant go to sch but i had to give my teacher some documents and in the middle of the night i started vomiting then i remembered when doc mike said to lay on your side i did it and it worked very well i also wanna become a doctor
17:15 you forgot one, He could also have hemorrhoids!
@doctormike OMG MY DAD WORKED ON THIS CASE! (3:46). This is 💯 something that happened at one of the hospitals he worked at back in the day. Apparently this story must’ve made the rounds in the medical community to end up on a TV show (my dad still shares this story amongst medical friends to this day)! It was actually a toy train (or so I’ve heard), but yes the kid DID go to the ER and they took it out, and then his dad came in like an hour later because he LITERALLY, LIKE IN THIS CLIP, said he just wanted to see how the heck the kid got it up there in the first place. Unfortunately for him, they actually had to take the guy to surgery to get it out 😫
16:58 "This person is on drugs, because they're wearing a knight costume out in the middle of the day" I don't know, but I think LARPing would be a more likely "diagnosis" 😛

in case anyone is concerned, MRI areas have safety switches outside of the machine as well in the case they need to preform an emergency stop. also even thought im sure this part is obvious, there is no need to undress fully, just take off anything thats magnetic or your phone and stuff, small metal such as a belt bucket or something like that wont do much unless you are the pt in the MRI
They could’ve also turned off the circuit breaker.
@@avalasialove hospitals have failsafe emergency power generators and also turning off a whole section of the building would likely kill more people who are on ventilators or other machines to keep them alive.
@@TheSuperappelflap while that is a concern basically everything has backup battery that usually last hours Including ventilators as well
@@brandonmcglocklin9040 interesting, i didnt know that. so theres double failsafes on most equipment? would explain why most of those machines are so big.
@@avalasialove Unfortunately, the magnet in an MRI will remain "active" even with the electricity off. They have to "quench" the magnet which is cryo-cooled with liquid helium/liquid nitrogen in order to remove the magnetic field.
I love how this started with Mike saying that even though these scenes will be very unrealistic, we can still learn from them. I think this is a good outlook to have on life in general. Love these reaction videos! Because of them, I annoy my family either yelling "CHEST COMPRESSIONS!" or commenting on how inaccurate the chest compressions are. Can you d more House M.D. next?
I grew up with asthma and chronic Bronchitis. It was definity trigger by extreme cold. When I started riding my bike a lot and often (Like 40 miles in a day because I was bored) after a couple of years, I pretty much stopped having asthma attacks all together. Due to other medical issues I haven't ridden a bike in a few years, and I suspect that my asthma is coming back.
When he talked abt the asthma I instantly thought of my self and a story related to asthma is I passed out while climbing in elementary and a teacher had to carry me up to the nurse and I was fine but told to carry my inhaler! also one of the worst feelings is when you are coughing with asthma and if you know the pain you know the pain
I absolutely adore 9-1-1 Lone star. Tarlos, jace, TK in general. I feel like it does genuinely have a good plot. That being said, it’s so un medical accurate it’s honestly kinda funny Also I love how he called Paul, the firefighter, a police officer and judges the compressions as if they could go 2 inches deep lmaoo
I know i liked the plot. maybe it's just me but I found the captain smug. it kept distracting me😢. Just a personal opinion.
@@fahimshahriar2441lol no u r right we are in s4?? I think. And still Owen(the captain) takes over like 25mins of each episode. Like each episode he has his own storyline
I just enjoy watching the ridiculous drama. The one I had the biggest issue with was in s4, with the diabetic. ‘Insulin crash’ is not a thing (30+ years living with this condition) and immediately, after getting the glucagon (NOT what was shown at all) and she can grab something and is standing up just fine? The actual diabetic says No! I know I’m loopy for up to an hour after getting sugar, and it takes at least ten minutes to start working. And I thank my cat for biting my ear when I start to drop. She has a very specific spot she bites to let me know. And she taught herself this

“When thunder roars, go indoors” -Dr. Mike
5:56 This actually happened in the episode and I'm sad we didn't see Dr. Mike reaction to it. What happened was the guy managed to swim there but then the girl grabbed him arm to pull him out, she pulled off all the skin on him arm and couldn't get him out. It was grusome and I wish I could've deen his reaction to that.
I did see this but it was a little too graphic for KZhead. We decided to cut it.
I also wish he’d mentioned that it’s not a good idea to try and pull someone out of the water if they’re conscious. Unless you’ve been properly trained, you could get pulled in and dragged under. Instead, you should throw the person a life preserver or anything that floats.

@6:39 Yes. I have argued with so many people about "autism being caused by vaccines". I get so irritated, being a mother of a child with autism, and the fact that a sad amount of people don't read peer-reviewed research even though they can be found online.
I didn't get it properly is she related with this why was she not welcomed ?
@@inavi. People want to blame vaccines on Autism, even though the research has proved otherwise. With her not being welcomed, she has been bullied constantly in school, and people have complained about her communication skills (her frankness, when she's overwhelmed, etc).
@@dhwriter0724 thanks imma dig in for some more info on her now Appreciate it 🙏 aunty
@@inavi. what? LOL
I would love your opinion on this. I grew up in YNP. People would fall into the hot springs and later die. From what I understand, one factor leading to death was that the hot water would "cook" internal organs, so after a few days, their bodies would completely shut down. I know it wasn't mentioned in the segment with the guy falling into the hot water in this video, but that's what I immediately thought of. It is also true that skin just falls off after going into really hot water like that.
a brief dip in hot springs doesn't cook anybody. think about your typical boiled egg or even if you were to boil a piece of meat. it took a long time to get the insides cooked before the outsides right? Unless the person was lounging around or got stuck for minutes, they wouldn't cook. much more likely for the people to die from toxicity from ingesting the sulfides in the water that may lead to organ failure, but I'm not a toxicologist. However, if water was hot enough to cause sloughing of the full thickness of the skin, then they basically have full body 3rd degree burns from which they're oozing plasma and most people can't heal fast enough to prevent death.
@@kingofallworlds There is a minor-ish caveat to all that... AND what a lot of people don't seem to quite grasp mentally, is that the surface temperature of the hot springs in Yosemite is NOT the over-all nor the ambient temperature even a couple feet under that surface... Water is "Superheated" below by the rocks and magma-chamber in the deep bed-rock, and then upwells, surges, or otherwise thermally drives its way to the springs... There, it's cooling the entire trip from the hotter (oddly) LOWER portion of the spring region up through the middle zone and into the upper region which is cooled as much by the steady release of steam interacting with the atmosphere, as much as the cooler exposed rocks even just near the surface. SO when people fall in, or more frequently get the BRILLIANT idea to jump in, they're not just hitting "the usual" boiling temp of 212 F or 100 C... They can plunge through the 185 to 212 F "top layer" and quickly find more lethal 240 - 300 F in the "mid-zone"... If you've ever worked with (or read the instructions for) a "Pressure Cooker", the recommended 10 PSI weight only jumps the inner temperature to 220 F or so... and reduces the cook time for a 1-lb roast from 30 - 45 minutes to 10 to 20... @ 220 F as opposed to 212 as in "standard braising" (which isn't so different from boiling)... IF that little difference (less than +20 degrees) can cut cook-time in half... imagine what happens to your "clock" when we bump it to +30 to 40 degrees... or +50 or more... You quickly go from "it takes minutes for flesh to absorb the energy" to "you've got seconds before you're literally boiled to pieces"... Of course, this IS in a natural hot-springs... SO the temperatures from one point to another can change pretty drastically even over the course of seconds and minutes. It's all part of what makes them so damnably dangerous to play with... and this is why it's IMPERATIVE that visitors stay their asses on the boardwalks and well marked paths through the hot springs areas... Anyways... For the most part, regarding boiling water, YOU are Correct... Sloughing off the entire dermis layer is simply too much damage and dehydration for the natural processes of human biological healing to recover... and it may take hours or days, but eventually the victims will (so far at least) succumb to such injuries, almost no matter where they get boiled, or in what precise solutions of water versus other contaminants... It's ONLY worth pointing out the very unique situations involved in Yosemite because it's so poorly recognized by the general public. Those springs ARE special cases, and don't have the same thermo-dynamics exactly as a jacuzzi or pond or any other "ordinary" container of hot water. The closest in your kitchen (if you have one that's well stocked) is a "Tall Pot" where the hottest temperature in the whole pot is going to be a little below the exact center of the pot... above that, and the currents are already losing temperature to the surface, and below it, incoming (updrafted) water is still being heated "on the rise" from the stove... It's an interesting but exploitable phenomena, usually best for good pasta and excellent sauce. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 super interesting read! I lived in Yellowstone my entire childhood, and some events that happened were while I lived there. I do know some simply jumped or fell into a hot spring, got out as quickly as possible, but still ended up dying later on. This temperature variance would help to explain that. Obviously, the acids in the water are going to play into what affects the body, but still, the temp is important. It's also good to note that the area around hot springs is NOT necessarily solid rock. It is often hollow and can collapse under human weight, plunging the victim into the hot water immediately. Just stay on the boardwalks! We saw/heard many crazy events in Yellowstone while living there. If you read the book, Death In Yellowstone by Lee Whittlesey, I was living there for some of those events and remember them. Others I don't remember. I kinda feel like it should be required reading for all visitors.
@@kingofallworlds some events I think of are recorded in the book, Death In Yellowstone by Lee Whittlesey. Some of those events took place while I lived there, and I remember them. Some of those people spent relatively little time actually in the hot springs. I highly recommend reading the book!
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 Thank you so much for adding this information. I find it extremely interesting and you present it in an understandable manner.
"You're not dead until you're warm and dead" was kind of interesting since while I've never heard a human doctor say it, it's something I've heard a lot from vetmed and people who work with a large amount of animals (ie shelter workers or farmers). You especially hear it around baby animals since oftentimes what it takes if their mother neglected them or something similar is to warm them up and they'll come right back to life. With people, obviously, there isn't as much of a need for that saying.
Unless you're in a cold environment, like if it's winter.
i've volunteered with a lot of people who work in mountain rescue, and that rule is pretty big among them since extreme hypothermia happens pretty often in the higher parts of tatras. it's a very common saying and a rule here among paramedics/firefighters, so i guess it all depends on a region you're from.
Both of y'all's additions make sense, I'm from somewhere that gets snow one every few years. YMMV
As an EMT, I can confirm this is also a thing for humans. Like Dr Mike said cold water slows the heart rate, sometimes so low we can't feel a pulse. In drownings pt is only dead when they are warm enough we can 100% confirm they are or the hospital does as they have better equipment than us in the field.
11:22 Wow! I never thought he’d actually give helpful info to me, I have asthma and it only effects when I’m in cold/dry environments TYSM!❤ it usually happends when I go to my dads place (I live in pr, I go to Kansas)
15:25 This is why I make sure to carry a catheter with me whenever I go out.
Ok but Dr. Mike's editor censoring Paltrow's face in the Iron Man scene was too funny 😂
dude if he thought this was crazy, i would love to see his reactions to owen completely destroying that one patient's chest doing cpr, the rescue in the minefield, or any of tk's many near death experiences 😂 love the show and loved the video!

Appreciate the asthma facts. For years I’d been told to use my inhaler after exertion. My new primary doc, a DO I might add, recommend taking it before and it’s been a game changer for me!
These videos bring me so much joy because it not only shows me how inaccurate these medical dramas are and therefore I learn more about how to be a better person in medical emergencies, but I feel so validated by Mike's reactions to all of the nonsense that is put into entertainment media. Ngl, him doing the weird tongue thing at the end is such a mood.
The shot at Goop Queen and the weird laugh/tongue flicker you did at the end of the video both made me giggle. Also, I'm digging the new studio. The background color is quite nice. 🙂
My dad has Asthma and he's a body builder! Just like you said, the doctor suggested exercise when he was a child, and now he's a body building champion today. 💙 I have asthma, and the cold can trigger it, too.
My friend had a buddy who survived three lightning strikes. He told my friend to never be near him in the rain 😂
I disagree. He's a human lightning rod; standing near him means they're less likely to be hit.
@@Aredelah ok
13:54 pregnant with prime rib😭😭🤣🤣🤣
My answer to being terrified of lighting storms was to learn as much about them as I could, so I can say with authority that the lightning strike scene here is perfect. If you, too, want to be struck by lightning, your best chance is to be a middle-aged male golfer in Florida in July, trying to finish your back nine during an afternoon thunderstorm. Apparently lightning REALLY likes guys who stand out in wide-open fields waving metal sticks in the air.
Good to see this show got SOMETHING right 😂
Their is a firefighter on KZhead as well. That green screens him self into these types of shows, and responded very similar to they way you do. As he is an actual Firefighter/EMT worker, he knows what he would actual do ro have to do in situations like these. Seeing an actual doctors reaction to these shows as well is just as hilarious. Writers and producers of these shows need to start hiring actual medical professional to give advice or help when writing these episodes. Because I know for a fact that their are plenty of times in real life where situations are as high stakes, anxious, and difficult as in the show. But then have those real life emergencies (as rare or unrare as they could be) be solved by the characters actual doing things medically correct would make for amazing TV/character moments. Their are cop TV shows where the actors will train or have ex-cop/trained professionals a part of them crew to help make scenes more realistic but for medical shows they don't even have their scripts reviewed over by actual medical professionals.
The 2nd video with the lady, remind me of our lane ops at work, you can be having a crisis but they are more worry about finishing up early
Your reaction is similar to mine when I watch medical programmes, my family refuse to watch them with me, but my nurse/doc friends all get my frustration and we have fun watching and critiquing them now and again!
11:00, the prayer would probably have been more helpfull than those "chest" compressions
I love how doctor mike is just confused about the volcano under the pool. I am too.
“He’s like Ironman but not” cracked me up 😂
in the middle school, once i asked the geograph teach if it's possible for a new volcano to form and destroy the city. he said that it's possible, but the population would realize and move out before the lava surfaces, it because as soon as the mantle break through the crust, surface will start to heat up and the groud would start to rise and any build would be dameged from that
I don’t know much about geology, but the scenario they presented seemed so wrong. Thank you for explaining 😊.
Yeah, the heat makes the ground more plastic (flexible) so it's like an abscess (to use a medical metaphor) the ground gets deformed by the pressure, and everything on the surface starts moving up, out, and so forth. Buildings are rigid and dislike this sort of thing going on under their foundations. Anyone who's had a home built on reclaimed swampland or landfill has probably watched different parts of their house head out in different directions over the years - it would be like that, possibly even slower. Sidewalks and roads would crack and shift, bridges would warp and begin to crumble, and buried water, gas, and electrical lines would get slowly mangled. It would be dramatic as heck, but in a "I took a photo out my front door every day for a year" sort of way, not a "check out this webcam footage" way.
Yes, I was looking for a comment like that. Moreover, there would be earthquakes leading up to the eruption, like we see in the current eruptions in Iceland. Before a new fissure opens, there is an earthquake swarm. When that happened, the town of Grindavik was evacuated and nobody was hurt in the eruption. The ground was buckling and folding, there was no way they could have missed this.

When I worked for the US Forest Service we had a camper die from a lightning strike. It was actually really tragic. An older couple and their grandkids were on a camping trip. The couple had been fighting so the grandmother went on a walk to clear her head. While she was out walking, she was struck by lightning and died. Her husband was distraught that the last discussion they had was a fight. It was absolutely a freak accident, but just proves you never know what time you’ll go so it’s important to let the people you love know that.
