Doctor Breaks Down the Medical Science of THE BATMAN

[@Reddotzebra]

I have first hand experience with that, when I was a kid some bully or other dropped what I assume was a rock on me from a treehouse. When I came to the sheer amount of blood absolutely horrified me.

[@Reddotzebra]

@@DrHopeSickNotes When I got to the hospital, the doctor who sewed me up joked that there was a big enough hole that he could put a quarter in there and I basically croaked "Please don't do that." It was much more funny with the benefit of hindsight.

[@seraphimvalkyrin4543]

Had something similar happen to me too. My friends and I were throwing rocks in a lake and my friends sister accidently hit me on the head. I rubbed the area and my finger had a bit of blood on it (keep in mind that oddly enough it didn't hurt so I wasn't worried, yet). But then I felt something wet on my ear and when I put my hand on the side of my head to feel what it was I looked at my hand and it was completely covered in blood. I was freaking out (mind you I was only like 8 years old at the time) and was worried I was gonna pass out so I got on my bike I rode as fast as I could back home. Luckily for me it was only about 3 blocks away. And also weirdly enough the cut wasn't that big because it only needed 3 stitches.

@@Reddotzebra oh NOOO :O That's adorable of you tho to respond to the doctor :)

[@ArlanKels]

I'm actually wondering, much like you, if the Green Liquid is supposed to be some type of "proto-venom" type serum. Venom being the adrenaline pumping aggression heightening muscle enhancing medicine of choice of Bane. In many versions of Batman it is a green color. It could serve as a good link to the next movie if they opt to use Bane in it.

[@MyklCarlton]

That seems to be the widely accepted explanation. Perhaps we'll get some more info when deleted scenes start to drop?

[@ArlanKels]

@@MyklCarlton Yea, just imagine if it's some Wayne tech drug that ended up being used out in the world by the military, or sold to the military, and Bane ends up warping it to his own advantage.

@@DrHopeSickNotes Kick-Ass 2 has another scene of a character instantly recovering and kicking ass after an injection of adrenalin. Not realistic but pretty fun.

[@Kiwi_DeFruit]

Loved the movie... I think it is what a young batman would be. Very impulsive and even aggressive sometimes, quite immature, with a strong sense of justice and a repulsion for the unfair... Seeking adrenaline too, in good shape, open mind... I liked this version. Cause even though I loved Christian Bale in the other series of batman, he portrayed a very adult batman. This is a twist.

[@lordfarquaad8267]

Well said!

[@HeresorLegacy]

Maybe the injection for Batman was an even harder push than legal methods. During WW2 the Germans used "Pervitin" in "Panzerschokolade" (Tank chocolate) which basically was just Meth. Reports say that the pretty high dosed use, sometimes over a longer period of time, made soldiers able to outrun enemies and setting up countermeasures, for days.

[@arsenalxa4421]

I loved how this was equal parts police procedural and cape movie.

[@ThreadBomb]

For me it was a character movie, the first Batman movie to really be about the character himself, not just his conflicts with others.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Thomas Wayne was an old school doctor in all continuities, this means that he always had the doctor's bag with him. As for the green vial, it isn't adrenaline. It's Venom. That few second long injection is a reference to Batman: Venom. It retconned things a little, so it happened before Knightfall. In this story Batman became addicted to Venom. In the comics Venom is a combat drug, so fast acting.

[@sebastianrizvic]

No confirmed as venom, in the concept art book for the film it’s said to be Epinephrine.

[@yungjoemighty879]

Obviously as an NHS doctor our guy isn't going to go into detail about these things, so as not to give any implication of prescription in any setting, but it seems there is a clear choice for this injected concoction. 'Speedballs' are a very common mix of 'downers' and 'uppers' used on the street. A common combination of drugs taken by drug users is heroin and methamphetamine. Untrained, unfit, un-plot-armoured civilians achieve seemingly inhuman feats after taking easily available street narcotics all the time. In the superhero movie context of this film, some kind of carefully measured dose of similar drugs could absolutely have the simultaneous pain-killing and energy-enhancing effect batman needs to perform.

[@joey_mck]

My thought on that injection was that it was probably a cocktail built around epi or it was a vial of ‘venom’, the stuff that Bane is addicted to that increases his strength and aggression. Thanks for the video!!!!

[@clericneokun]

It's great that you brought up Venom because that's the speculation I've been seeing around lately.

[@LednacekZ]

the third one was no injury, just his plot armor was lessened for the convenience of plot. He survived a point blank bomb explosion without even having his nose hair sunge.

[@ThreadBomb]

I recently rewatched Hot Fuzz, and Simon Pegg easily survived an even bigger explosion (from a sea-mine) from about the same proximity at the end of the film. Yes, I realise that film was a comedy!

[@LednacekZ]

@@ThreadBomb Yes a comedy. I would not mind Batman's plot armor if it was consistent through the movie. And this Batman movie was supposed to be realistic.

I'm still healing but it amazes me how much I've recovered so quickly considering my injuries, couldve been so much worse. thanks for the video!

8:12 He IS seen shaking while helping load injured people onto a helicopter, so maybe he's experiencing the side effects after calming down from fighting, wading through cold water and rescuing people? Or, maybe he injected himself with the fictional drug, Venom - a mixture of adrenaline and steroids used by the supervillain Bane.

5:10 didn't the Good Doctor do this in the pilot episode???

[@Paradox-es3bl]

I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I just want to point out that Venom in the comics is various levels of addictive... but I'd probably classify it as (usually) roughly moderate to highly, sort of in-between the two. Probably like a 7.5/10 for how addictive. Like, you won't be completely addicted after 1 dose, but several characters have been addicted to it over the years, some after like 3 doses... Including Batman. And of course, Bane. To be fair, though, Bane generally takes it for YEARS before any of his withdrawal storylines lol. It's definitely a version of Venom, the only real question is: is it Venom or proto-Venom? I think it's called Titan Formula or something in the Arkham series? Could easily be that.

[@SRFriso94]

Carmine Falcone going to Thomas Wayne after getting shot isn't that crazy. Falcone is a career criminal, if he went to the hospital, he would have gotten arrested the moment the surgeons put down their suture needles. Bruce Wayne mentions that his father helped Falcone because he took the Hippocratic Oath, and even if something had gone wrong, it's not like Falcone could have complained to any kind of medical board. Also, Falcone is intelligent, he knew that being in the high-ranking position of his criminal organization, someone would come gunning for him one day - literally. Seems prudent for a man in that position to arrange the necessary equipment to store away a few liters of his own blood for a rainy day.

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

Yeh I did write some notes on this but didn't record it - you would expect blast injuries, but most concerning is the police took an unconscious patient into a police station afterwards and not a hospital! You'd have to assume that the armour took the blast, and he was knocked out from a tertiary blast injury. I also think that Batman may not have expected the explosion to be quite as big - I'm thinking of the tragic and horrendous death of Brian Wells; any small charge around the neck is going to be fatal.

[@ThreadBomb]

@@DrHopeSickNotes Some have pointed out that Batman does manage to raise his arms in front of his face, but it's really blink-and-miss-it. Possibly Batman's cowl protected his eardrums? BTW, Simon Pegg easily survives a bigger explosion from similar proximity at the end of Hot Fuzz.

Hey Doctor? I’ve been experiencing foamy urine for 5 months now after I was given a brain cat scan that was unauthorized and not needed because nothing was wrong with me at all. I also now have these sharp pains on top of my head that come and go and move from the right of the scalp to the left. I also have a white tongue! I got my urine checked and everything is completely normal there is no protein in the urine. That CT scan did some things to my body and all I had was a minor allergic reaction to a spicy sandwich and the incompetent nurse gave me a CT- Scan for a reaction that resolved on its own and the doctor said he doesn’t know why they did a scan and that nothing is wrong with me. Now I am being told it may be Staphylococcus Capitis! Any recommendations? I wake up once a night to urinate. Im also now having pain in my kidneys in the back and strange pains on top of my head that move from the right to the left. All these problems after they did a malpractice on me by giving me a CT Scan. The pain on my head is not a headache but deep pain that comes and goes. I’m also a man please

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

Have you talked to a GP/family doctor about the kidney pain and frequent urination at night? Dr Hope legally can't give you medical advice over the internet because you're not his patient, but those are symptoms a GP should pay attention to. I hope you can find a good doctor who will take you seriously. I know it can be difficult especially right now as all the doctors are stressed and exhausted, so they are more likely to miss things, but you deserve proper medical care. Keep asking. Giving them one symptom at a time can help them to focus. So one appointment you tell them about the kidney pain, and then let them lead the conversation and answer whatever questions they have. They will probably ask about urine if you start with kidney pain. Then make another appointment to talk about the head pain, if they didn't ask about head pain in the first consultation. I would suggest starting with the kidney pain because that will probably be the hardest for them to dismiss. Some doctors become distracted if you are criticising other medical professionals, even if those medical professionals were genuinely wrong. Try to start by giving them a symptom, and only tell them what other medical professionals have done if they ask about previous treatment or investigations. Tell them honestly what the results of the scans were and why/when they were ordered, but leave out the stuff about how the scans were pointless and shouldn't have been ordered. Like if they ask when the symptoms started you can say they started after you had a CT scan after an allergic reaction, but don't call the CT scan malpractice. I know that this kind of thing is unfair. I'm giving this advice from experience of having medical issues where previous doctors have messed up, and having to communicate that to doctors. I hope that you are able to get good medical care soon.
