Playing with goose heads and the fact the mother waited 18 hours to get a doctor is most disturbing things about the first story.

@debrajohnson1982 3 месяца назад

Remember when this happened, mid nineteenth century. People rarely went to the doctor and kids did play with things we would not let them today. I grew up in the 50’s and along with an old family bible, we had a medical encyclopedia. For my ancestors if the latter provided no help, you turned to the former and prayed 😊

@Murdermagictricks 3 месяца назад

She likely was poor. It was the 1800s. People didn't go to the doctor like that

@NikkiC777 3 месяца назад

That was disturbing I was pretty surprised. I actually thought the 2nd story was pretty disturbing too, more disturbing really. That guy should not have been capturing live raccoons and using them as bait, to train hunting dogs. That just seems so inhumane to both the dogs, and the raccoons. Cruel to the raccoons because the dogs are going to attack them, and cruel to the dogs because raccoons can be mean if they are cornered, and they'll obviously bite them too. I don't have a problem with hunting at all TBH, but I feel like there is a right and wrong way to do things. I don't like seeing animals suffer at all. The 2nd guy who was trapping those raccoons brought that on himself, and he had it coming. Imo. I know that doesn't sound like a nice thing to say, but if people are going to hunt animals and use them for food I think there is a moral obligation to do it in the most humane manner possible. Sorry for the rant, I just happened to be reading your comment while I was watching the video and that part came on, and I just couldn't believe that.

@NikkiC777 3 месяца назад

@@Boys-R-Boys-and-Girls-R-Girls Haha. that was an easy fix though once they figured out what was wrong. Just had to get it yanked out. I was just writing in a different comment thread that it must have been nice in a way, that the doctors back then would often just come to the house, and they didn't need to go to the emergency room, and wait hours and hours after getting there, and then get a giant bill afterwards. I bet the doctors back then weren't anywhere near as pricey as today, even if you account for inflation. These days you have to deal with these insurers who you pay and pay hundreds a month, year after year, and then when some expensive emergency finally happens they barely pay for anything they act stingy AF.

@FilK79 3 месяца назад

The honking boy story gives me chills because of the stressing situation the boy must have been trough, but I cannot leave without recognising that it was one of the funniest stories I have ever imagined while listening to your stories.

Bless you for sharing this. My best friend’s daughter had Leukemia…. She was on a ward at John Hopkins hospital in or near Baltimore. My friend’s daughter was 5 yrs old. She lived in the hospital for many months and almost died many times. I would go and visit…. Either the visitors or the patients had to wear a mask. We would go into the playroom to visit, we got to know many other patients……there was this adorable little boy about 3 yrs old…. he loved a gift I had gotten my friend’s daughter…… I went back to Toy’s R US to try and find another. But no luck, I became obsessed…. and couldn’t find it. This beautiful sweet boy ( who went thru hell) didn’t live very long. That young boy really got to me. They would give him certain medicines and when they took affect he would scream and cry that the medicine was burning him inside and out. Then the pain would subside…… my friend’s daughter made it….. but my friend had to meet many of the other patient’s parents…… many asked “ why did your girl live?” Why did we lose our son or daughter? Just absolutely heartbreaking!

As a person who works with Stray dogs for about 7 years and has done enough research on Rabies, I was in doubt whether the second one was rabies or not as Robert was alive for around 20 days. But whenever you said wild raccoons, it was pretty clear to me - and everything made sense then. Robert and his posthumous donor, both died from Rabies - but not the variant which is very common. It was paralytic rabies, not rabies encephalitis. Rest in Peace, both of them.

I worked at a hospital where 120 staff members from paramedics to xray techs to resp therapy nurses and doctors were all exposed to a patient foaming at the mouth who died 2 days later. We were all told he had rabbies and all of us had to go through the rabbies series of vaccines. They were awful. 7 shots in the stomach over every 3 or 4 days. It turned out the patient had been bitten by a racoon but by the time he came into the ER he was to sick to speak so they had no idea what was wrong with him untill he had died then they were abel to biopsy his brain and find out he had rabbies and had possibly infected all the health care workers who cared for him over those 2 days. Thank God nobody got sick.

At least twenty minutes of the day. I remember the days when his videos were almost an hour long and I loved it. Of course I still look forward to the new episodes each week however it seems like he's putting most of his effort into his podcasts, which is great for him. Truly, he deserves alk his success. I just personally prefer his videos. The podcast is good but it sounds like he's reading and I prefer the conversational style of his videos. I just wish that we got more than basically 20 minutes a week. You'd think he'd want to cater to those of us who were around before he blew up and were basically the reason he has the success he has now.

The second story was especially interesting to me as a 70 y/o transplant patient. I got my transplant 7 months ago. They offer slightly less-than-perfect transplants for older patients who tend to be further down the list as transplant recipients. I did get a transplant from a 35 y/o man who had a dormant virus in his system (not what killed him). I accepted the transplant and am very grateful. I was negative for the virus before transplant, now I am positive for it. But I am slowly fighting it off as my numbers showing the presence of the virus get lower and lower each month. Phew! They test the patient and the donated kidney for a bazillion things before going forward with the transplant. I am curious if they test for rabies nowadays.

Still grateful he came after me and not one of the kids, because the immunoglobulin shots directly in the bite wounds was just as bad as the attack itself. Now I joke that I have Post Traumatic Skunk Disorder, but I really do. I carried a Billy club to the bus stop for months.

As a transplant patient who received both a kidney and pancreas 3 years ago I can tell you being immunocompromised makes you super vigilant because catching any illness could land you back in the hospital. Just a few months after my surgery I became suddenly sick with a sudden fever that was over 102 degrees for nearly a week straight out of the two weeks I was in the hospital. They kept drawing blood to test and do cultures as well as other tests and they never could figure out what it was. For 5 days and nights my brain felt like it was being slowly flame roasted in my skull by a constant fever near 103. After 2 weeks whatever it was I was fighting off just cleared up and my wife and I went home. We later learned that when you're immunocompromised that you're more prone to infection as well as having mutations of viruses occur in you. New variants can literally develop inside you. So doublemasking and constantly washing my hands for the rest of my life is what most transplant patients like me have to look forward to because the common cold or flu could easily land us in the ICU or morgue. Sadly most don't understand that about transplant patients.
