At 9:58, that's a laryngoscope, it's tool to help doctors intubate (insert a breathing tube). It gives them light to see and the blade holds the tongue out of the way.

@mariancrist5087 5 месяцев назад

And you can get different heads for the handle: otoscope head to look in the ears and ophthalmoscope head to see inside the eyes.

Recently found your channel and am trying to catch up on past episodes. I’ve spent a good deal of my life as a part time scrapper, working full time in the HVAC and plumbing trades. I realized early in my career how senseless it was to throw away massive amounts of copper, aluminum and brass so I started staying a few minutes after work every day on my own time, salvaging what was going to be taken to a landfill. Its helped my family live a better life while doing just a little to help the environment.

@wildhorseraces 5 месяцев назад

Awesome for u, but u will never catch up on all his videos,,!!!! I e been trying for over a year now!!!

Donating those walkers would help some elderly or injured folks mighty happy. The one I had, for over a year and half, was a Godsend! You're A classy guy!

@maxbell6237 5 месяцев назад

You gotta be careful donating those types of items though, a lot of the time there’ll be a recall or some reason new items like that are discarded.

@tinabrewer_24ab12 5 месяцев назад

Good afternoon! Your respect meter flew through the roof when you said you would get those walkers in the right hands. I know I have seen walkers with no wheels. They sometimes work better then those with wheels. Great haul! Tfs!

@dianewilliams1125 5 месяцев назад

I use a walker and i have one with wheels and one without! Thank you so much for saving them and getting them to the right folks! Shame on the place that threw them out!😮😮😮

Hi Mike Those white baskets are to hold the blood pressure cup on the Dr's office. As per those vcr's they are portable and can be used in cars and vans. Great to have a small unit around. My vcr I use for recording audio in my home like a big cassette recorder. Have a good weekend to you and yours.

If a person is unsteady on their feet the walker they use would not have wheels. They take a step and lift the walker forward etc. They would be very useful indeed. I like that you donate these things. Thanks for the videos.🥰

Dont donate to Goodwill they throw them away along with baby furniture electric blankets and more...Goodwills corrupt.

@antoinettefoster5598 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for another awesomme noghts video Mike. Great variation in scrap. So maddening to see perfectly good walkers being thrown away. So glad you were able to rescue them from the landfill & donate them to people who will appreciate them. Keep up the great work. Have a good & safe weekend. Best wishes from Ireland🇮🇪🍀

@mimiprays8288 5 месяцев назад

Glad you saved the walkers. Our local salvation army takes medical supplies and gives them to those who need them for free or very little cost.

Fun fact Mike, the very first video I watched of yours you was singing Regulator that hooked me and I've been watching you ever since. Oh plus the Ow sound you used to make that got me as well because my mother rest her soul used to make that sound every time she got excited seeing something. She had passed a few years prior to me running into your RU-vid. Ninja Mike gotta be strong 💪🏾 oooooow

The device with the stainless steel blade and batteries is what we use to intubate and place an airway in a patient before placing them on a ventilator. They've gone to disposable one patient use on a lot of things like that.

The handle with the batteries is used for intubation. It has a light that illuminates the throat and vocal cords so a tube can be placed in your trachea.

That one white scale looking thing is a magnetic stirrer. You drop a magnet into a glass container and put the container on top and it stirs the liquid, some have heaters, too.

@obedcasillas3404 5 месяцев назад

Mike, you should grab the garbage can part of the shredder. You can use it to put all the small pieces of wire and such, then dump them into Betty. It would be easier than trying to find a box in some of those wet dumpsters.
