“He’s too unstable you transport....” clearly only because his eyes needed to be pushed back in their sockets. Damn if I knew being a paramedic was so easy I would have never paid all that money for nursing school 🙄🙄🙄
I REALLY like when everybody is wearing full structural fire turnout gear on an EMS run. Never can tell when a patient is just going to suffer from spontaneous human combustion....
"Three things are going to save this person, diesel, oxygen, and a human who is way smarter then I am." True Knowledge is knowing when you're out of your depth and need to find someone who knows better.
I have family members who don't work in any emergency service, who love this show. I am no longer allowed to watch it with them because I would either start laughing or shouting, "WHAT?! NO!" to often.
This is the medical equivalent of when a computer is doing something catastrophic and they stop it by shooting the monitor. All that does is keep you from seeing what is going on.
On the bright side, it's nice to see that people with other specialties like medical training get to suffer alongside people who have knowledge of other STEM fields and technology.
@@joybreegaming8781 Which of the server blades in which of Googles computer center are you going to shoot? :-) Film makers call it "artistic license", I call is "unforgivable laziness".
I get like that whenever guns are portrayed unrealistically in movie and shows. Some movies get a pass because they're trying to be ridiculous and over-the-top and aren't going for anything resembling realism. But some movies try to pretend to be realistic but then show completely unrealistic firearms operation and handling.
dude popped his eyeballs off with the power of centrifugal force on the merry go round he... he did it he did what we all spent our childhoods attempted he must be the coolest dude on the playground i wonder if he can do a 360 on the swings too
@@arandomsupra They'd have to be getting into the 10s of g's to get anything like that effect - I haven't read much into this, but I've been on roller coasters doing 4.5 g, and my eyes are still in the right place, so its more than that, at least - doing some maths on this, presuming it happened at 10 g's, which seems low (it would take 100g to replicate the force of a vacuum cleaner, which can't do so, but the forces due to pressure in your body might add to this): using some brief calculations on the centrifugal force, it would take ~1.6 revolutions per second to get that force, so the outside would have been travelling at about 10 m/s, or around 20mph, which would be pretty fast, and the bearings aren't built for that, so it would lose speed fast, and it would take a lot of power make it spin like that. He would have also had to hold 10x his weight onto a bench while unconscious, which seems like a pretty impressive feat - in reality he would have gone flying. Basically like trying to carry a 1t weight, while holding onto a sideways merry go round that's shaking like mad - all while being unsecured, and unconscious.
@@deathofallthingspotato9919 Oh and on top of that don't forget that to get the effect of his eyes popping out he'd either have to be standing/sitting on the merry go round backwards or it would have had to decelerate in the opposite direction with a similar G force Dude's got massive strength if he can do all the things listed while holding on backwards or can survive having the opposite ring of the merry go round smashed into his chest at 98m/s^2
*The most unrealistic thing is how brand spanking new all their uniforms look like!* *It's clear they have never trained in them, been in a fire, and everybody in the team just bought brand new uniform this morning.*
I feel like they were entirely too confident with shoving his eyes back in, what if his optic nerve is damaged? Is there blood behind his eyes due to whatever pushed his eyes out? What about muscle damage or swelling? I'd prefer to leave all that to an eye mechanic.
Nah you see its like the restart button on your computer. If your brain lags behind you just need to pop out your eyeballs and jam them back in. I do it everyday! :D
@WarriorCrimson OOOr, hear me out: He could get a cape andbecome the Fishman because of how his eyes areat exactly 45 degrees from where tey were supposed to be. I mean look at if from the backstory side of things: My friends used a scooter to spin the [that playground thing] really hard, and that's how i got my new powers
You are 100% correct about the blood behind the eyes - that's called a "retrobulbar hematoma." The swelling behind the eyeball squishes it against the bony confines of the orbit, and can cause vision loss if not decompressed. We decompress it by cutting the ligaments around the eye, allowing it to actually expand forward.
Jason my brother, I am retired for a while now after 30 years working the hood. My oldest daughter got me watching your stuff cuz she told me "Dad this guy is you back in the day". LMAO I could not agree more, and I love your stuff so please keep it coming, it is great therapy for an old fire dog that sits around drinking your coffee and bourbon all day !!!!!!!
"Who would do this?" "I have an idea. Let's blame those two people filming our medical malpractice that will surely end up with us being sued, losing our jobs, and going to prison."
As an instructor, I might just teach a class strictly using your videos, right to the point, Love them! Keep them coming your doing a great job, I can always count on you for a good laugh. I have made your channel a must subscribe for my students. Stay Safe!
Word. Especially the "INSULIN IS NOT A TREATMENT FOR LOW BLOOD SUGAR!!!" one. the one with Jason popping out of a 4th of J. firework like a super-slim genie is adorable, too.
"the more unstable, the faster you want to transport" oh gosh, THANK YOU ! I think the people making our procedures here have watched way too much of those BS shows, because loosing precious time (often hours) to stabilize someone BEFORE bringing them to the hospital is a very common procedure. An example, my sister had a very bad allergic reaction, first responders came, called a doctor from the ER, gave her a shot of something...and WAITED for (I'm not joking) 5 hours until she was stable enough to get to the hospital. By that time, she was fine, so at the hospital she waited another two hours before someone told her "you're fine, you can go home". Sadly, sometimes it ends badly (like that old guy who had a stroke, and they waited hours for I don't know what until bringing him to the hospital. By that time it was too late for anyone to do anything anymore, and he died a few days later). The whole "we're waiting for the patient to be better to get them tot he hospital to be treated" always blew my mind ! It's...utterly stupid.
I’m a retired medic and I tried watching this show once, but had to stop after screaming at the tv way too many times. There is nothing medically even close to being accurate and every single person on that show would’ve been fired for the crap they were pulling by the end of the first episode. Don’t they have a medical consultant?
Honestly, I don't take anything they do during their calls as factual, I'm just here for the interpersonal drama. I do think it's kinda baffling how wrong and bad a LOT of these types of shows are when it comes to medical stuff etc.. They're really putting the emphasis on the drama part of medical drama.
Jason!! You MUST review some Chicago Fire episodes. I work in EMS in Alberta Canada my wife watches the show and it drives me up the wall!! Great video! Love the channel!
Wow, he was only too unstable to transport because his eyes were bulging out, but fixing that fixed him so much he didn't even need transport, he was good to go!
I love the idea that he just wakes up and says thank you. Real victims are like "WHA- WHO- WHERE AM I WHAT HAPPENED DON'T TOUCH ME" Or just *incoherent wailing*
I'm a firefighter/emergency medical responder, and I love 911. Some of the calls are pretty good, but some make me go "oh,boy.." I like the idea of you doing reviews. For even more wacky calls, check 911's sister show, 911 lonestar.
I gotta say, you're my favorite firefighter...period. I was on the in-port emergency team for USS Theodore Roosevelt in the late 80s, so I do know about a lot of the things you put in your videos...but I'm still learning things by watching them. I'm also hugely amused with your videos--proof that educational videos don't have to be boring or unfunny. Oh, and you remind me a great deal of Don Rickles, one of my favorite comedians.
GLOC happens when the blood gets pulled away from the brain. On that merry-go-round the blood would be forced to his head. Also AMR is the paramedic service where I work, and those morons would go with the let's wait as long as possible to transport.
I mean, negative G's can be a little more problematic that positive G's. They kind of cause blood to rush to the head and increase pressure and things start to pop. I don't think he hit enough G's for that though Edit: I did some research. It is actually quite plausible that he could have had severe injuries from something like this. Based on the article below there were severe issues with negative G forces at as low as 3-4 negative Gs, including swelling of the eyes. Using the formula for centripetal acceleration (a = v^2/r, given and described in the article) and assuming that the radius of the merry-go-round was 3.28ft (1m) it would only take 17mph (7.67 m/s) to cause some sort of headache and severe injury if it was not prolonged. Assuming a radius to be 4.9ft (1.5m) and a required 6 negative Gs for severe damage, it would only take about 21mph (9.39 m/s) for severe damage to occur. With a bike like that rigged to the merry-go-round, it could be expected to reach upwards of 30mph (~13.5 m/s) at the edge of the merry-go-round. Assuming that he could also not keep his head in very well and that it extended to a 6.56ft (2m) radius while keeping the 4.9ft (1.5m) radius of the merry-go-round, some further calculations could be done. The merry-go-round would make about 1.43 rotations every second which would put his head moving at about 40mph (18m/s) and would cause approximately 16.5 negative Gs to act upon him. That does not at all mean that he would still be holding on at that point, but it is entirely plausible that if he could hold on that he could reach a level that had dangerous levels of pressure in the brain. Now assuming that he was able to hold on for that amount of force, the pressure of the blood in his brain can also be approximated. The density of human blood is approximately 994 kg/m^3 and the gravitational acceleration at that amount of force is 162 m/s^2. While making the assumption that only about 1m of height (about half the body height) of blood was pushing on the brain, the equation for pressure at a depth can be used to approximate the pressure in his brain. That equation is P = rho * a * h, where P is the pressure, rho is the fluid density, a is the acceleration experienced, and h is the height of the fluid. Obviously this assumes that there is constant acceleration across the body (which is not true) but there would be higher accelerations inwards than outwards, so the head acceleration will work fine. Based on this equation, the pressure inside his brain would reach approximately 161 kPa or 1207 mmHg. To say that he would have a few issues is an understatement. Summary: bike can spin merry-go-round fast man will experience 16.5 negative Gs at the head blood pressure in head will be about 1207 mmHg only if he can hold on www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3884183/
Seriously, your not impressing anybody with your calculations, and the video isn’t about what injuries you might sustain from such events rather it is about how unrealistic the medical treatments are, plus the fact that they were performed by a paramedic without any medical direction, rather than by an eye surgeon.
@@zacharynunley9677nd you're not impressing anyone with your flippant, aggressive, pessimistic reply. You don't speak for everyone, you can only speak for yourself. It is true that this video is about how unrealistic the "hotline" shows are and how the treatments make no sense, however, the comments can be about whatever, and I for one was impressed by the calculations and found it interesting to learn a new way to destroy the biochemical machine that my body is. Stop being a dick for the sake of being a dick you warthog faced buffoon
I played on the merrigoround for 3 hours at the park one time as a child. I didn't get G-lock. I did, however, suffer from such severe and debilitating vertigo and nausea that I begged my mom to take me to the hospital. She refused. Told me I would live. Didn't flinch when I refused dinner and went to bed early. I still had mild vertigo the next day and I have never been anywhere near a merrigoround since.
The most realistic medical scene I’ve seen was in the original Robocop. They didn’t shock asystole, vitals were appropriate for someone with multiple GSWs, and they use mast pants which were commonly used at that time. And Detroit looked pretty much like it does now:)
The most realistic I've seen is (very minor Better Call Saul spoilers) . . . . . . Is when Nacho is shot in the abdomen. That level of unconsciousness, his pallor and cracked lips, the concern the doc had over sepsis -- all absolutely correct. I've been in the ICU with septic shock (yeah, the real deal), and that's what I looked like after the docs somehow pulled me through.
Medic: ((training his new EMT)): Well, his eyeballs are outside of his head and he's completely unresponsive and bleeding from his eye-sockets. In training, you were taught to evaluate if this situation is a "stay and play" or a "load and go".... So...what do YOU see here? New EMT: Welp..."I'm gonna barf all over his face if I keep looking at it, so lets pack his entire head with gauze, start and IV, and make this guy some random trauma doc's problem as fast as we can? Medic: "I am so proud of you right now"...
Please....please...please...do station 19.... my wife smacks me once a week when I very loudly yell at my television set as the bullshit spews forth from it....volunteer fire fighter from Maryland. Love the videos man keep them coming
That reminds me of the main role our doc had on the truck... yelling faster if the patient needed to be in ER yesterday... or telling the crew to transport safe and slow if not...
The part about transport, my dad actually wasnt able to transport as he had aortic disection and the paramedics/firefighters setup an ER in my house, not exactly what this was but for those saying that doesnt happen, it does
Just a rough calculation...you’d need to spin a merry go round (radius of 1 meter) at over 100rpm to achieve a radial acceleration of 5g...which is still in the threshold of tolerable for people. Never mind that any person would need to be physically strapped to the merry go round to stay on the thing while it’s rotating twice per second...how the hell do you get it up to that speed??
I don't know why they didn't do the optical ball reversal, it's really easy. A little KY jelly, strap him down so he doesn't fly off the merry-go-round and spin him really fast in the reverse direction. It's like a time machine and everything goes back to normal.
They call these shows Dramas, but for those of us who are Firefighters and Paramedics we tend to call them Comedies. Either that or I am yelling BS at the TV. Love ur stuff Brother. Keep it coming!!!
Firefighters, Doctors, and Policemen are perfect Movie Night buddies. During a 10 second scene in the station/hospital, they'll just start screaming about representation in the media as if they are the black dude in a horror movie. And I need more of that in my life.
THAT was awesome. We had a real, real shitty call yesterday and I love to watch your videos , the help to take the edge off. From one Brother to another.....Thank you !
Fun fact: He was facing the wrong way on that marry-go-round to have his eyes pop out, as he was facing the center, and therefore the force would be pushing his eyes backwards into his head. So they couldn't even get the laws of physics right in that stupid show...
EMT: Sir! The patient is unconscious and not breathing! Medic: Well, what do we do for non-breathing patients? EMT: Check eyes for PERL, start a line! Medic: Forgetting anything? Maybe starts with an, "A?" EMT: Albuterol? Medic: What's his Bp? EMT: It's Off the Charts, sir. Medic: *Sigh* Okay let's try this again.... What...IS..... EMT: Sir, I think this patient is at-risk of a stroke! Medic: How....okay, what do we do for a stroke patient? EMT: Delay transport, Do not radio hospital, Do not give oxygen, reduce patient eyeballs on-scene? Medic: Okay, you're done for today. Go sit in the box and touch nothing.
That G-LOCK is something that happens on a daily basis, I’m happy to have found the best treatment for that ailment. I’m glad I don’t watch that show. I would’ve died laughing at that episode.
Damn you Jason. You ruined the show for me. 🤣🤣🤣 I remember when we did this on our last trauma alert and the doctors praised us...said no one ever!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love your videos, man! I myself work as a nurse, and it's great to see someone just sawing through all bullshit, with a comedic touch on top. Keep up the good work, my man!
