Having experienced it, it’s amazing they way humans can keep humans in the same position while carrying them into the back of an ambulance. While getting hurt sucks, being back boarded and carried to safety is one of the deepest feelings of relief I’ve ever experienced. Thanks to my heroes out there.
That moment with Ryan shazier always always makes me a little uneasy and emotional. Because the way he rolls over and then looks at his legs and then puts his hands on his head like OMG I can't feel my leg my career is over... That is just so horrible I can't imagine that!!
Hey doc, could you do a video special for David Goggins? Just watched him tell Joe Rogan that he's running on a knee with a grinded meniscus. I don't know if that's even possible. Would like to get your opinion as a medical professional.
What about when a player is down from a possible head hit, but is face-down? Would the medical team/medics still not want to move them, or would they have to roll the player over in order to do a proper examination? Also, (and I may have asked this before) could there ever be a situation where a neck/head injury is such that you would NOT use the backboard?
I'm not a sports doctor but a firefighter paramedic so the same knowledge should apply. If you can't assess ABCs you'll have to move them, if you can't maintain the airway you'll have to move them, if they're in arrest you'll have to move them. Spinal injury concerns be damned, because if they need emergency intervention they will die and at that point it doesn't matter how well off their spine is. Not sure about the sports world, but full spinal immobilization is becoming less prevalent in everyday EMS. Really, there is no evidence that supports backboards improving patient outcomes, and they can cause problems on their own to boot. If someone has a head/neck injury but presents no neurologic deficits there would be no need for a backboard. If they are able, a person in a car accident should get on the stretcher on their own. Patients with penetrating trauma to the head, neck, and torso shouldn't be immobilized at all. Straight forward things like that are written into protocol that is pretty idiot proof. There's a lot of "well better safe than sorry" in prehospital care because they don't want to be the ones to screw something up. But even patients with known spinal injuries will be put on a soft bed in the hospital. There's a good chance that in the very near future, if these exact injuries were to happen again, only Shazier gets immobilized. Also, the doctors, trainers, etc in these examples aren't incompetent or anything, but the long standing medical practice they (and sometimes I) must still follow is and, at least research indicates, should be on the way out.
If the environment isn't safe (burning building, flooded car, etc) and if seconds count to move the patient away from danger, you can move without a backboard
With regard to spinal injuries is there not a case for the use of a scoop stretcher instead of the backboard? This again reduces patient movement during application but also avoids increased pressure on the spine
Do you think you could do a comparison between Damar Hamlin and Chris Pronger's commotio cordis? Pronger was hit with a monster of a slapshot while Hamlin took a hit with a helmet. Is there a minimum force required to cause this? (Depending on bodyweight and such of course)
After last season, I've heard some concerns about tua and should he "retire" early and get out before things get worse. To that, I'd say yes...just my thoughts
Having multiple concussions can increase the probability of getting future concussions from getting your bell rocked. Hell I worked out in the Florida heat for 7 years. I got dehydrated from sweating out all my salts. Not from losing water. My pee would be crystal clear and I would still be dehydrated. I could pound 10+ waters in a work day and unless I drink something besides water to replace my salts I'll get the same result. But after my 2nd dehydration spell the 3rd was my most severe. It put me in the hospital for 10 days and I had to see a kidney specialist after that for about a month. Continously damaging your body can cause problems that you will never recover from and make you more susceptible to future damage. I'm in the best shape of my life on the exterior. I can deadlift 280 pounds. I can run 3 miles. I do it 4 days a week. But on the inside I can't do much to improve that.
NFL ‘get an ambulance’ moments but they get increasingly more severe Was trying to follow a trend I’ve seen with some titles but it does miss the mark a bit and not in line with the content
Why does so many things happen when teams play the Bengals?! It's disheartening because the Bengals have always been my favorite team but so many people get hurt playing them. Not because they want to hurt people but because they're one of the more physical teams in the league.
As much as I appreciate wanting to drop a knowledge bomb to assist people who probably came looking for just the videos of the injuries, it does make a title like this feel a bit more crass than usual. It also just feels out of character for you, like I at least expected something like the word 'explaining' to pop up somewhere in the title. EDIT: Never mind, it changed, my notifications had it stuck as the previous title.
There was nothing wrong with the original title. Do y’all have ANYTHING constructive to do with your lives but to go online and cry about EVERYTHING?!?!?🙄😒🤦🏿♂️
@@BrianSuttererMDif people focus more on the words in a title than the heart and intentions of the creator and the content of the video itself they’re the ones with the problem not you Dr Brian
