Dont judge the o'lady. Judge the men that used the side car.

Austin: Losing his innocence Ben: Losing his sanity Rich: ...Somehow always adapting

This is incredibly sad. As a former meth addict I have no doubt that this was a real situation. The depths that we sink to to support our addiction are HORRIFYING 😢😢

As both a paramedic and an ER RN, his acting out the paramedic and the old burned-out nurse role is spot on.

When I was a firefighter/EMT we had an elderly man that had been sick for over a week and got to the point that he couldn't get out of bed. When we got there we knew as soon as the front door opened that we were going to have a bad day. The smell feces mixed with the ammonia from urine had us all gagging. Made it to the room and found him barely conscious. He had a temp of 108 and was sweating like crazy. To get him out of the house we had to get him down a staircase so we chose the body board. Now mind you he was naked this whole time and was covered in feces and urine. We got set up to roll him on his side to get the board under him, I'm standing on the side of the bed between the pt and the board. As we slide the board up to him we hear him say "oh no". Then he had the most explosive diarrhea I've ever seen, and felt. Yes, I was hit chest to knees in the nastiest smelling liquid poo ever. Immediately I started gagging, I grabbed someone next to me and forced him into my position as I then ran outside. I kept from vomiting but trying to take off my bunker gear without actually touching the poop was difficult but I got my pants and coat off (we were in full bunker gear for warmth as this was the middle of winter in the northern midwest). My guys got the pt down the stairs and into the ambulance and got it sent to the hospital. As for me, I was not allowed back into the rig without a quick spray down to get the last of the shit off me. I was perfectly fine with that and my bunker gear was sprayed as well. As soon as we got back to the station I Immediately ran to the showers and washed head to toe literally 4 times trying to get rid of the smell. And that was the shitiest day on the job during my time with that department. This happened 12 years ago and I can still quite distinctly remember that smell.

As someone who’s worked in the ED, I didn’t break until Philadelphia Sidecar. 😂 Ahhh, the memories. I interviewed a big old farmer in jean overalls once who came in complaining of rectal pain. Long story short there was a zucchini lodged in his colon. When I asked how it got there he said while he was inspecting the fields he fell and it went in. Without missing a beat I asked why there were no holes in his overalls. Silence. Take your time, sir. I’ll be right back.

I could have gone my whole entire life without that education 😂

Used to work in an ER, and yeah, stoma sex (and STI in stoma from it) is a thing. As soon as they said "she's a sex worker" and then "she has a colostomy looking a little funky" I knew EXACTLY where this was going...

I can tell you I worked in an ER and there are certain nurses that love kids, certain nurses that are good with old people, and certain nurses that are willing to help all demographics, and certain nurses that need a new profession! 👍

Can we just appreciate how much Ben really _cares?_ Even tho he's the poster child for perma burnout, & 100% done w. everything, 100% of the time, he still gets upset when a vulnerable patient does something really stupid. We love you, Ben.❤

Yep, saw this when I worked ER. The messed up nurse part of my brain was 😂 and the normal part was screaming “wtf is wrong with you?” The stoma, meth addicts, and the “peds patient” (which everyone seems to have ignored in their horror about the Philadelphia sidecar.) I treated “pediatric”patients for GSWs, STDs, surprise pregnancies, sexual 3:20 3:20 3:20 abuse, physical/emotional abuse, alcohol/drug OD, suicide, and so much more. The scariest for me was a 16 year old who tried to choke herself to death with a heart monitor cord that no one told me was still in the room. This is a cautionary tale for nurses to give and receive full report so that you’re prepared for whatever 💩 show you’re headed into.

That “morning Ben!” gave me shivers, like I know that he 100% has the skill to consistently sneak up and and scare the ever living daylights out of me without an ounce of hostility.

As a nurse, I can confirm everything is accurate. Although, the MOST accurate thing is the doctor wearing the Patagonia jacket while indoors..

I’m a nurse; you’d be surprised how accurate these videos are.

The Philadelphia Sidecar is most definitely a real thing, and happens FAR more often than the average person could begin to understand. I scrubbed ColoRectal for the past 11 years as a first assistant. We’d be taking a diverting colostomy down about once a month and have the patient’s significant other lament the fact that they’d no longer be able to use their partners stoma as a love hole. What’s even worse is when we’d have to revise the stoma because the significant other basically destroyed it…

I am an old ED RN. Let me tell you, I crack up each time I look at any of your posts. When I see you in different roles in the same post, I just accept you as that person. Continue the exceptional work and humor!

I have emptied so many foul smelling colostomy bags as a home care worker that the idea of this... "act" made me gag 🤢

I must have worked in the E.R. too long. I guessed the stoma sex bit waaaay too early in the skit.

I am a retired Certified Ostomy nurse, this is something we taught "no sex in the ostomy!" So glad I didn't work in ER! And I thoroughly love Steveio's humor. He has helped me heal in my recovery burnout! Thank you Steveio!

as soon as you said “should we culture her colostomy?” i knew where this was going 💀

You ARE underappreciated. Here's some money for informing me on all the things I never thought about.

I was a cna years ago. Worked with mostly geriatric patients. Did the traveling nurse thing with my 2 kids young at the time. My patient had a friend that needed help cleaning her place. She asked if my kids could help. So I said yes because place was 2 doors down and a one bedroom. 2 hours later I knocked on her door to get my kids. She paid them infront of me then thanked them. We walked back to our patients place when my kids said she must've been a cop cause she had handcuffs, uniform, even a whip. I had to tell them she worked for the zoo.

I’m an ED medical coder and I LOVE your videos!!! I get to read about these patients all day. Your videos explain everything perfectly!!😂

Watching this I suddenly got the feeling this absolutely happened on one of his shifts. Then I read the comments and was horrified that it seems to be fairly common. People are frakkin’ gross 🤢

When you realize you're too invested in these characters!! Not me and Ben saying "Why do you know that? " and "NO" simultaneously! 🤣🤣🤣

I often get lost down an internet rabbithole and yet I've never ever ended up even coming close to knowing what a Philadelphia sidecar is, until today I guess, and I could have gone the rest of my life very happily not knowing what it is

Many years ago, I was a nurse at a very large county hospital, for many years. This is amazing, brought back many memories! I love the humor!

I am so grateful my sister got clean. Seeing videos like this, even as funny as they are, just reminds me to be so grateful that there are resources for addicts to get the help they need or I believe it wouldn't have been long before my sister was in a similar situation.

I had to have a colostomy bag for 9 months. As soon as friends found out they all had "a nurse friend that saw ppl with colostomies that were used for sex" I thought they were full of shit until now. I remember putting a fresh bag on and my finger slipped while pushing and sealing the part that goes directly around the stoma and even through the bag I wanted to puked. NOTHING is supposed to go in there. Thank God for reversals

I feel really bad for the lady - she must have had a really hard and lonely life to be stuck working as a sex worker at the expense of her own health at her age, just to feed her addictions.

the paramedic impression is so good lmao

I could've died happy never knowing situations like this exist...

The fact that the Philadelphia sidecar is a real thing makes me lose more faith in humanity

My god. I had a feeling this was where he was going. My spouse has a stoma (colostomy) and the Doctor was telling us info about it all while my spouse was lying there on the bed. Then she said "And absolutely no sexy time with the stoma". The look on our faces (complete and disgusted shock) made her say "You wouldn't believe how many times I actually DO need to say this". Some people can be real nasty.

I was a nurse for 15 years. I treated a man who came in on 400 mg of Adderall. He lived and was okay, I assume. But what he mostly needed medical help with was the withdrawal. It was so bad, he actually broke from reality and had to be under watch for days. I hope he's okay.

I can't believe that that is a thing. Wow, the mind boggles and my stomach churns.

I had a patient in her 70's that had her clientele visiting her in the hospital. They were very loyal.

Sometimes I miss working in healthcare, then you remind me of why I shouldn't 😂

Absolutely brillant! Should be used as a training film for ER staff! Or anyone considering going into ER medicine as a speciality! First hour of first class! If you can't take the heat, you may need to consider not going into the kitchen in the first place! People who choose this line of work need to know exactly what they will be getting into--hour by hour, day in and day out!

One more thing I didn't need to know bout my home town of brotherly love. I can't unhear that or get a visual out of my head.

"You guys never get lost on the Internet?" "No." "Yeah, me either. But I _did_ get lost in Philadelphia once! That's what I call some brotherly love!"

I am in the healthcare field and can confirm that this is a thing - this is not only incredibly SICK but horribly dangerous. Thank you for your vids!!

OMG I DID NOT NEED THAT EDUCATION 😅😂

Philadelphia sidecar. I have not laughed so hard in ages. Bravo well done.

Omg. That was gross and hilarious at the same time 😂 always an education

AAAAAH!!! Oh my good lord! I want to go back in time to just before this video and remain ignorant!!! This really makes me respect health care workers even more, and I already held you all in high regard!

this is literally better than Scrubs this guy needs a show

You are so funny, and REAL! I have just been clicking on all your videos that coe up. Next time around, I will click the thumbs up; I cannot get enough of this!

I love the first responder so much. I work Search and Rescue (K9 trainer/handler and first response medical team), and it fits a lot of my peers' "jaded yet amused" attitude really well. I get to be all, "Hey, guess what the dog found today!" to my fiancée all the time, and she's never sure if it's a weird curio from the backyard or something inhumanely horrific.

I remember going to the ER thinking I had appendicitis (it wasn't it was a another minor issue 😅) & that day happen to be when 2 drug using well known patients came in, then I overheard 2 nurses debating on wanting to deal with me rather than the 2 drug using patients. Before going home my nurse said you're the easiest patient I've had today , wish me luck for the rest of the shift lol.

I love how Ben heard "pediatric" and noped out, likely because he doesn't want to end up decking the parents.

I love how all three nurse characters look like completely different people even thou played by the same person, and the personalities and voices are done perfectly, all three feel like their own people.

As a retired nurse, this is up there with so many other things that I would love to forget.

Love your work, Steve, especially when you tackle the big issues. This, however, hit me hard because the fact that there are real people out there doing this breaks not only my heart but my psyche as well. I commented on a short I saw earlier [about the obese patient growing into the carpet...] that we are living in a broken world, and now watching this vid after that just reaffirms my statement.....it's all broken, man.😵‍💫🤯

The struggle is real! Much respect to our ER teams out there.

You totally nailed the EMT - that set me up - “You have MRSA in your stoma” had me choking and my face hurts now

I’m 72, but I am not a meth using sex worker (why do I feel I have to say that?) nor have I a colostomy. That one was crazy!

This HAS to be inspired a real patient encounter, there’s no way there’s this realistic with details and have it be completely fictional

I’ve never been lost on the internet until right now! 😂😂 I don’t know how TF I got here! 🤣🤣

*I'd love to hear the "offline" conversations these folks have!*

this is why I stay in the lab. The healthcare workers that deal with patients are made of stronger stuff. I would rather work with a sample of TB than have that situation. I can't.

When they said "sex worker" and "colostomy bag", I knew where it was going. I read a story about a gambling husband who would pimp out his wife just like that.

Clearly the dude running the ER is the most professional of the three.

I may get lost on the internet but I never get lost like that!😂

I could have easily gone my entire life without knowing what a "Philadelphia Sidecar" was.

I’m with Ben and Austin, I’m gonna 🤢 😂

😂😂😂😂😂I'm so unappreciated here... this was epic😅I'm floored

Bahahaha I’ll never be able to think of sidecars with beer the same way again.

When speaking to the doctor, referring to the patient as "meth lady" is extremely accurate (assuming there is only one Meth lady in the ER at that time). It immediately identifies the patient without having to remember names, room numbers, anything.

I told my friend from Philly about that sidecar situation. I told her to look it up. I heard a faraway scream and laughter. We will never be the same!

Literally same thought runs through my mind at work lol

OMG the twists and turns to this one 🤣🤣 I almost can't breathe from laughing so hard!

I'm grateful and relieved to have lost my interest in medicine by the time I got to High School. I have so much respect, love and appreciation for nurses. Y'all are amazing! Thank you for everything you do

Can't be paid enough for that 😭

The best one yet! As an Inpatient Coder, I think this is hilarious!

Huge love to all my fellow ostomates in the comments section, sharing information and their stories here. The stigma attached to having a stoma can only be removed by talking about it, normalising it. Sadly people still choose to die of their diseases rather than have to live with a stoma. Sadly children get bullied to the point of choosing to die because of this stigma. (RIP Seven Bridges)

I have had a patient exactly like this, only male. He told us its popular in the prison system here and is referred to as an ostitute. The numerous STDs he'd acquired in it caused confusion, he was convinced he was pregnant because his boyfriend (who was sitting next to him) had done the dirty recently

I new where that one with the coloscopy was going.

I haven't laughed so had in weeks. Subscribing now!!!

I feel sad for that poor lady. A lot of people would just judge and shame a lady like that but she obviously has some problems. Addiction is a hard thing. You can want to stop all you want but you just can’t do it that easily.

It's scary...and rather disgusting how common this is! We've seen two cases of it at the ER I work at! 😬

As soon as you mentioned the colostomy i knew exactly where it was going 😬

This is sooooo accurate

I'm impressed the ambulance driver maintains his cheerful attitude. I would expect they'd be the first to have their souls crushed out of them.

I love this channel, as a Paramedic, things like this make me feel like someone gets us. Both the horror of addiction allowing something like this, and the cheerful smugness of dripping the patient with the ER and thinking, "they are *your* problem now."

Just when you think you've seen it all, someone comes in and shows you all whole other side of "surprise".

Whelp, just when I thought I was beyond being able to be shocked anymore..... I congratulate you sir! Good Job!

I felt that last line on a visceral level. I'm sure the same is true for nurses and EMT's all over the world. And yeah, EMT's find some *funky* stuff out there in the wilds. At least yall in the hospitals don't have to see/smell/walk in their dwellings.

Y does Ben sound like the John Wayne of the e.r. ?????

I'm screaming 😂 a whole is a whole😂😂😂

“Some people have their kink, Ben” yup. Oh yea they do.

SICKING!! So glad I didn’t ever want to be a nurse. But I really admire and appreciate all of you. God Bless you and your families. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Had a meth/heroin user on my floor(IMCU). He had his friend shoot up in his spine. Had a severe MRSA infection in the epidural space between L4 and L5. Left AMA because he wanted to get high. You can't make this stuff up.

Do you ever get lost on the internet? YES.....LOL.

I love these vidoes. As a nurse, i am so protected by clinics.😅

I really love your skits! I’ve watched all of them, and a lot of the shorts. I finally saw the ‘Dr. and his nice clothes lol. Nurses do the dirty work. And I know you play all characters, but Ben, Austin, and Rich look different. Keep making them! They take my mind of my depression.

It is sad that there is a human willing to do that and another human willing to accept it. Seriously….😢😢

Oh, he's thinking about it
