[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Well and good... AND don't get me wrong, you're correct to the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge... I have one TINY little bitty point to add, though... I'm JUST a woodworker and part-time tinker... I BUILT my own shop, down to the wiring... Since I do work with a few large power tools and they ARE dangerous, I wondered at the marvel of "emergency cut-off switches" myself... AND I came up with a simple redundancy plan (because everything's made CHEAP as possible, frequently in China)... SO I just wired in a separate "dedicated" circuit breaker to the most treacherous machines... you know... like the Tablesaw that's so notoriously deadly... Rather than pin ALL my hopes of rescue on a single "wookie-button" on the side of the saw, I can have a breaker in the "fuse box" that shuts down power to that specific wire and outlet, and the saw... simple... Now, I can NOT POSSIBLY be so much smarter than the electricians and engineers behind the construction of hospitals... Stands to reason, just in case the specific "emergency shut-down device" for the MRI/CT scanner/whatever fails, or is rendered inoperable, there would be a dedicated circuit breaker in the main panel... somewhere... Might be a call to Maintenance, or some supervisor's knowledge... BUT flip a switch and power goes to zero... It's electromechanical, so whether the thing over-heats or someone physically shuts it down at the panel, there can be NO failure other than power being denied... simple as that... Scenes like this one REALLY get under my skin... These machines, by nature, pretty much HAVE to have at least 3 methods of shutting them down... The ordinary operations' "shut down procedure" (because large sensitive electronics have computers attached and flip-switches don't play nice with software or memory)... The emergency cut-off (usually at the operating counter in the control room/corner/booth or whatever... AND the main panel circuit breaker for those few situations where even the control booth/room becomes a "no-go". It's just acting silly for no good reason but "we need a plot and can't write anything compelling". ;o)

12:49 The “you’re not dead until you’re warm and dead” is a real thing that they teach EMTs. My mom trained as an EMT and in her class they say that because if you are cold and dead you can still be revived. It may not be that your heart has actually stopped, just slowed to a point where it’s undetectable. You have to warm the body up before you can actually confirm that they are dead.

The point is you aren't waiting in the field to figure that out. You take the drowning victim to the hospital where they have the resources to revive them if possible.

[@alicehammond7622]

⁠​⁠@@edcrichton9457If the heart is stopped then you would start cpr and shock them in the field, just like you would with any other cardiac arrest. The “warm and dead” thing just means that the persons metabolic demand is basically nothing so they probably haven’t experienced too much cell death and your outcome might be better than you’re expecting, even if they’ve been like that for a while. AEMTs and paramedics can also give warm IV bags if you’re able to get the heart going again

Speaking of paramedics giving ridiculous diagnoses, I started having seizures earlier this year and the paramedic stood there and lectured my friend about marijuana and claimed I had a fentanyl overdose that was laced in medical marijuana. She talked about this for 30 minutes WHILE I WAS ACTIVELY SEIZING instead of immediately getting me to the hospital.

[@Doylie4122]

I think them lecturing your friend and wrongly diagnosing you was stupid, but I'm pretty sure when someone's seizing, it's actually best for them to just lay that person down and make sure they aren't vomiting or hurting themselves in anyway (by hitting objects or hitting their head). Moving you probably would've been difficult, and putting you in the ambulance could've had you end up falling off the stretcher or hitting equipment

[@nebularose0]

@@Doylie4122 thats correct, but that timeframe is 100% not 30 min. Especially if the called 911 for the seizure, meaning she was seizing for longer than 30 min. Meds are given as quickly as possible/appropriate to stop a seizure so that we can safely transport to a hospital so the ED can determine what caused it. Unless the medic was actually and EMT waiting on a medic to arrive there is no reason to hold meds that long (EMTs still wouldn't wait that long)

This video made me realise that we NEED a collaboration between Dr Mike and Jason (a firefighter + paramedic from the 'Fire Department Chronicles' channel) reacting and roasting emergency tv shows!! With so many shows having absurd inaccuracies, they could easily make a series with multiple seasons... Also, the hilarity from the differences in approach on how they try to fight against the absurdity and frustrations will be off the charts - from Jason's quips practically dripping in sarcasm to Mike's calmer digs while trying to provide genuine advice! On a side note with the volcano and the magnetic MRI clips, Jason had also reacted to it and it was hilarious! Really makes you shocked to understand exactly how ridiculous the show is to emergency responders

2:05 on a non medical note, the glass Liza broke was not tempered, which breaks serious construction code. If it was tempered, the glass would have broken into little shreds and blunt pieces. However, this untempered glass pane broke into larger and sharper pieces, which become extremely dangerous to people nearby because they can get deep cuts from it. Tempered glass has to be the glass type in any window/wall if there is a potential for people to run into it and break it. The more you know 👍

[@jfbeam]

I was thinking the same thing. That was Hollywood "sugar glass". Using actual code compliant, tempered glass would be rather dangerous for the rest of the actors in the room. That stuff does literally "explode" into rather small pieces. We had an Ikea glass desk break; it threw glass 60ft... covering the conference room, out the door into the lobby, and hallway - and that was a desktop with a plastic coating that was supposed to prevent that. You would not be able to break that glass by walking into it, or hitting it with a hammer. (the FX guys would break it with a small explosive charge, or "nail" to the side/end) A window in my office building was broken by a lawn mower. It shatters cleanly, but it's laminated on both sides, so nothing goes anywhere. That's exterior glass. Interior glass won't necessarily be laminated, because that plastic ("lexan") is easy to scratch.

Oh yeah, properly tempered glass is pretty safe. Obviously it's still glass, and you should still be careful, but it basically breaks into little blunt cubes.

This included supplements, vitamins, and infrared saunas. In March 2020, Goop was accused of profiting off the pandemic by selling a “defense” supplement pack for $112. She shared an Instagram post from a chiropractor who claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine caused miscarriages and stillbirths, which was debunked immediately.

The confusion about 12:46 "they are not dead until they are warm and dead" is actually refferred to 4T and 4H of resuscitation "The mnemonic "4H&4T" was proposed as a reminder to assess for Hypoxia, Hypovolaemia, Hypo/Hyperkalaemia, Hypothermia, Thrombosis, cardiac Tamponade, Toxins, and Tension pneumothorax." Meaning that you cant pronounce a person dead until you have uncovered all reversible causes which are the 4T and 4H, and one of them is Hypothermia- which means until a person is warm they cannot be pronounced dead

Hot tip if you do have cold related asthma. Invest in a scarf and pull it up over your nose, not super tight. It will keep heat around your nose and mouth, just breath slowly.

I would love your opinion on this. I grew up in YNP. People would fall into the hot springs and later die. From what I understand, one factor leading to death was that the hot water would "cook" internal organs, so after a few days, their bodies would completely shut down. I know it wasn't mentioned in the segment with the guy falling into the hot water in this video, but that's what I immediately thought of. It is also true that skin just falls off after going into really hot water like that.

[@kingofallworlds]

a brief dip in hot springs doesn't cook anybody. think about your typical boiled egg or even if you were to boil a piece of meat. it took a long time to get the insides cooked before the outsides right? Unless the person was lounging around or got stuck for minutes, they wouldn't cook. much more likely for the people to die from toxicity from ingesting the sulfides in the water that may lead to organ failure, but I'm not a toxicologist. However, if water was hot enough to cause sloughing of the full thickness of the skin, then they basically have full body 3rd degree burns from which they're oozing plasma and most people can't heal fast enough to prevent death.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

@@kingofallworlds There is a minor-ish caveat to all that... AND what a lot of people don't seem to quite grasp mentally, is that the surface temperature of the hot springs in Yosemite is NOT the over-all nor the ambient temperature even a couple feet under that surface... Water is "Superheated" below by the rocks and magma-chamber in the deep bed-rock, and then upwells, surges, or otherwise thermally drives its way to the springs... There, it's cooling the entire trip from the hotter (oddly) LOWER portion of the spring region up through the middle zone and into the upper region which is cooled as much by the steady release of steam interacting with the atmosphere, as much as the cooler exposed rocks even just near the surface. SO when people fall in, or more frequently get the BRILLIANT idea to jump in, they're not just hitting "the usual" boiling temp of 212 F or 100 C... They can plunge through the 185 to 212 F "top layer" and quickly find more lethal 240 - 300 F in the "mid-zone"... If you've ever worked with (or read the instructions for) a "Pressure Cooker", the recommended 10 PSI weight only jumps the inner temperature to 220 F or so... and reduces the cook time for a 1-lb roast from 30 - 45 minutes to 10 to 20... @ 220 F as opposed to 212 as in "standard braising" (which isn't so different from boiling)... IF that little difference (less than +20 degrees) can cut cook-time in half... imagine what happens to your "clock" when we bump it to +30 to 40 degrees... or +50 or more... You quickly go from "it takes minutes for flesh to absorb the energy" to "you've got seconds before you're literally boiled to pieces"... Of course, this IS in a natural hot-springs... SO the temperatures from one point to another can change pretty drastically even over the course of seconds and minutes. It's all part of what makes them so damnably dangerous to play with... and this is why it's IMPERATIVE that visitors stay their asses on the boardwalks and well marked paths through the hot springs areas... Anyways... For the most part, regarding boiling water, YOU are Correct... Sloughing off the entire dermis layer is simply too much damage and dehydration for the natural processes of human biological healing to recover... and it may take hours or days, but eventually the victims will (so far at least) succumb to such injuries, almost no matter where they get boiled, or in what precise solutions of water versus other contaminants... It's ONLY worth pointing out the very unique situations involved in Yosemite because it's so poorly recognized by the general public. Those springs ARE special cases, and don't have the same thermo-dynamics exactly as a jacuzzi or pond or any other "ordinary" container of hot water. The closest in your kitchen (if you have one that's well stocked) is a "Tall Pot" where the hottest temperature in the whole pot is going to be a little below the exact center of the pot... above that, and the currents are already losing temperature to the surface, and below it, incoming (updrafted) water is still being heated "on the rise" from the stove... It's an interesting but exploitable phenomena, usually best for good pasta and excellent sauce. ;o)

[@shlempae]

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 super interesting read! I lived in Yellowstone my entire childhood, and some events that happened were while I lived there. I do know some simply jumped or fell into a hot spring, got out as quickly as possible, but still ended up dying later on. This temperature variance would help to explain that. Obviously, the acids in the water are going to play into what affects the body, but still, the temp is important. It's also good to note that the area around hot springs is NOT necessarily solid rock. It is often hollow and can collapse under human weight, plunging the victim into the hot water immediately. Just stay on the boardwalks! We saw/heard many crazy events in Yellowstone while living there. If you read the book, Death In Yellowstone by Lee Whittlesey, I was living there for some of those events and remember them. Others I don't remember. I kinda feel like it should be required reading for all visitors.

Fun fact: there is actually a breathable liquid. It is a liquid so rich with oxygen that it can fill your lungs and you can breath it, though not perfectly. It is called perfluorohexane. It has a far higher density than water, and it has more oxygen than human blood proportionally. Perfluorohexane (PFC) is mainly used in medical treatments such as helping premature infants, cardiac arrest, and reducing inflammation in the brain and lungs. PFC, being so dense, also means it is excellent for withstanding pressure/gravity. Deep sea divers are starting to use PFC because it helps their lungs not collapse or implode when they go so deep. They are also thinking about implementing PFC in pilot and astronaut suits to help tremendously with reducing the effects of G-force. The rumor that perfluorohexane is used as a modern form of torture is likely a myth. The rumor states that many people go unconscious as their lungs are filled with PFC, their bodies believing they are drowning and getting so distressed that they faint. They then are woken up later, told that they were drowned to death temporarily and then revived. Again, this is probably not true because, while uncomfortable, PFC isn’t that distressing to the body even if you don’t know what’s happening.

Yeah, the heat makes the ground more plastic (flexible) so it's like an abscess (to use a medical metaphor) the ground gets deformed by the pressure, and everything on the surface starts moving up, out, and so forth. Buildings are rigid and dislike this sort of thing going on under their foundations. Anyone who's had a home built on reclaimed swampland or landfill has probably watched different parts of their house head out in different directions over the years - it would be like that, possibly even slower. Sidewalks and roads would crack and shift, bridges would warp and begin to crumble, and buried water, gas, and electrical lines would get slowly mangled.

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, and I was always told not to have a shower or bath or be in or around warning if it is storming or there is lightning in the vicinity, so good to know that is true. I was blessed enough to know three of my great-grandmothers. One of them told me that when she was young (we are talking sometime in the 1880’s or 1890’s, I think), there was a thunderstorm, and she said this big ball of fire/electricity rolled around the ceiling and into another room. I’ve heard of that phenomenon before, and it always happened at least 100 years ago, so I’m wondering what they did in building things then that might have caused that. I believe they call this St. Elmo’s Fire.

Great new studio setting! Loved Dr Mike's reactions, and I got a good chuckle at Gwenth being blurred out & not welcome 😂 This video made my day. Thanks Dr Mike!❤

[@Snakeofwrath]

Ok but Dr. Mike's editor censoring Paltrow's face in the Iron Man scene was too funny 😂

11:00, the prayer would probably have been more helpfull than those "chest" compressions

[@afilasanthosh583]

We y'all love you dr mike. You inspire a lot lot of us. Hats off to you and your team. God bless y'all

[@CarrieJerry]

As a fan of the 9-1-1 universe, this was hilarious. But also Dr. Mike, as a 9-1-1 fan....we know. We know. 😂

[@abigailpottker9843]

Appreciate the asthma facts. For years I’d been told to use my inhaler after exertion. My new primary doc, a DO I might add, recommend taking it before and it’s been a game changer for me!

[@celldweller1982]

the funny thing about what Mike said is that the rain looks like water from the hose, in movie and film, they have to use larger water drops to be picked up by the camera, thats why water looks to big

[@blackn6345]

Funny story. You learn in school that in a thunderstorm you need to stay away from body of water, trees, no umbrellas and metal. Get inside out of the storm. I was going to work taking public transportation waiting for the bus. Their was a storm going on at the time and it had been rain for awhile. So here I am with several people standing waiting for the bus. Waiting under a tree, near a metal pole, everyone with umbrellas, and water runoffs near by. So it was like painting a bull's eye on my back just waiting for something happening...lol

[@clckc]

Woah that’s crazy

[@TheSuperappelflap]

as long as youre not standing right next to the metal pole, or touching it, thats one of the safest places you can be. lightning will connect to the pole and immediately dissipate through the pole which extends underground. as long as you have rubber soles, you wont even feel anything except your hair raising and maybe goosebumps. its actually more dangerous to be somewhere far away from any tall objects during lightning because in that case, the tallest object might be you. theres a lot of misinformation taught about lightning. the part about not standing under trees and near open water is correct though. dont do that. but a metal pole is actually a lightning rod in this situation.

the noise the kid made

[@OMGitsaClaire]

When I worked for the US Forest Service we had a camper die from a lightning strike. It was actually really tragic. An older couple and their grandkids were on a camping trip. The couple had been fighting so the grandmother went on a walk to clear her head. While she was out walking, she was struck by lightning and died. Her husband was distraught that the last discussion they had was a fight. It was absolutely a freak accident, but just proves you never know what time you’ll go so it’s important to let the people you love know that.

[@BRUH-jh6ep]

Idk why, but the darker set gives off a more chill atmosphere. Really pleasant, knowing how bright and colorful this platform has gotten.

[@reedpeachey8467]

Pls do The Good Doctor again. I love the series and your reactions and understanding make it more enjoyable than the series itself.

[@ItsJustMe0585]

I just got diagnosed with asthma (as an adult) last year. I live in Canada, and have a very large hill in my back yard. One day I went down there when it was -20c outside (pretty typical mid-day high in Jan/Feb, here), to fetch my trail cams. It took me 5 min to get down there, but I had my first asthma attack, caused by the cold and dry air, coupled with heavy breathing climbing that hill in 6" of snow. It took me about 30 min to get back, as all I could do was walk a couple steps then wheeze. Second time in my life I thought I was going to die. No phone, no inhaler, and virtually no oxygen. Now, no matter what physical activity I'm going to do, I puff on that thing before it every time. That fear though: I quit smoking, I started exercising more, eating better... all the things. :)

[@AbnormallyOnline]

I like watching Doctor Mike but I also have a bit of health anxiety. I get incredibly anxious hearing the common symptoms of these medical issues but then hearing him explain what to do during those situations makes me feel better for some reason.

[@martymartin5302]

The firefighter who figured it out is Paul and he is known for having a really good instinct, or what his captain calls threat assessment skill. He has done similar things before, such as finding someone shooting at firefighters with a crossbow and taking down an arsonist. Edit: thank you for reminding me of the name, Nathaniel6324.

[@Aredel]

There’s a difference between having good instincts and being omniscient. As Dr. Mike explained countless times, there’s so many possible causes for their symptoms that you need to take them to a hospital to be tested. Btw that whole crossbow thing made no sense. Unless that bolt was made of tungsten and loaded with a 2k bowstring, it wouldn’t cut clean through metal.

[@nathaniel6324]

His name is paul

[@madisonhughes3670]

This is one of my favorite shows! I almost didn’t watch this video because I didn’t want to ruin it for myself, but I think I’ll just continue to ignore the medical inaccuracies 😂
