Doctor Reacts To Painful Baseball Injuries

[@SyndicateSuperman]

I used to play football and suffered 15 concussions during my career. Back when I played they referred to concussions as "getting your bell rung" and coaches told us to get back on the field. I dealt with post concussion syndrome for years after and eventually suffered a stroke and developed epilepsy from the litany of traumatic brain injuries in my life. If Doctor Mike notices this I would love to talk to him about it.

My dad actually had a life-threatening baseball injury, but as a fan in the stands. The end result was part of his brain having to be removed and a titanium plate having to replace part of his skull. Pretty incredible that he even survived, apparently most people with this kind of injury either die or become vegetative.

As a Mets fan... that hurts. For both Harvey and Stras. The 'cure' for TOS involves removing a rib, which can lead to nerve damage and loss of feeling in the extremities, which is what happened to Stras, from the sound of it. A bunch of us fans looked it up when Harvey was diagnosed with it. TOS is the true pitcher killer. Like the recovery rate is abysmal.

My sophomore year of highschool baseball I was hit in the face by a linedrive while pitching, it broke my zygomatic and orbital bones and later I would need surgery. That was probably the worst day of my life. Took months for me to recover and get cleared but I am still playing baseball going into my junior year. It truly is an amazing sport that evokes a lot of passion, and while it is quite dangerous, an injury will never change the love we have for the game.

Going in to your junior year?! My man, that injury was practically yesterday. Glad you’re recovering and getting back into the game! The injury must’ve been horrible, but all missing all that baseball you wanted to play. You handled it like pro. Hope the season is going well for you!

[@supermegaawesomeultragal7820]

Mike is right about the psychological and emotional standpoint of stepping back in front of 100 mile-an-hour pitches after being hit by one. When I got in my most serious car accident, you bet that I made sure to hop in the car and drive that same road as fast as I could get back on it. I didn't want the fear to set in too abundantly

My dad was an orthopedic surgeon and a sports medicine doctor. Sometimes he would watch sports and someone would hurt, and Dad would give his immediate thought as to the injury. My dad was also the doc for my high school's football team. My brother once played an entire quarter with a broken arm because he didn't want to tell my dad. My brother look ater went on and dislocated his shoulder in college. He did go back to football too early, and ended up jot being able to play football again. My brother (a different brother) is now an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine doc. He's also now my high school's football doc. My dad is retired.

I was extremely active in multiple sports from elementary school up until my 20s. I suffered so many weird injuries, and had "unexplained" knee pain during my entire teens which, after watching this video, I now know what it was! But I think the weirdest injury I ever suffered was when I kicked a ball to defend the goal at the exact same moment as my teammate kicked to score a goal in practice together. We both fell down, the ball stayed in the same spot, and all the metatarsals in my foot were broken in half! Amazingly, I got up and just kept going and wasn't really even in any pain! I didn't even get an x-ray until a week later when my foot started bruising and my parents asked me if I dropped something on it. Will always be amazed that I had no pain, I broke other bones and those hurt a lot!

What Mike mentioned about getting injured from a bad pitch being traumatic and making it so that you are too scared to get back in the batters box is very real. Happened to me in AAA little league. Got hit really badly in the chest, minor fracture to a rib and bad bruising. Only to recover and get hit with a pitch the next game I played after coming back. After that I would stand too far out and was constantly reprimanded because I was always needing to be told to move up. Finally I just said "I'm done, I am too scared of the ball at this point." I couldn't imagine getting hit in the face or chest with an MLB fastball.

Then last summer, same nephew, playing baseball, he tore all the ligaments and some tendons in the same shoulder and had to have extensive surgery and rehab The doc said he had never seen such a severe case.

[@Urban_914]

He’s now reacted to NFL, MLB, and even WWE, now we need an NBA video!

[@esteemedmortal5917]

Yeah, there are some bad injuries there. I remember my brother showing me a video of a compound fracture with the bone sticking out 😳

[@Legendarybro737]

YESSS!!!

[@bookwoman53]

I’d like Dr. Mike to react to NHL injuries.

[@nickbachman663]

⛸🩸

[@TheGreatChrisB]

Me and my brother once accidentally collided and slammed our heads together and the sound is like nothing else in the world. We were both stunned and dazed for a while, but even 18 years later I can distinctly remember that sound, thankfully no movies or videogames accurately make the sound of skulls clashing or breaking otherwise I might throw-up anytime I heard it.

[@Killersam776]

That johnny damon one always gets me. That was a brutal collision

[@MatthewLuce-t1m]

I love how I came here to see baseball injury’s and he just explained what caused my mastoididis

[@MatthewLuce-t1m]

Mastoiditis

[@alfmaster2256]

For the Tony Saunders non-impact injury, it happened again when he came back to baseball after recovering from it!

[@Mswalker2011]

Dr Mikes reactions are so funny💀💀

[@jaydendimbi8866]

Hey, doctor mike, love your videos and appreciaate the amount of effort you are constantly putting in, to help everyone remain happy and healthy

I'm from Florida originally and there are three injuries in this video at the rays ballpark. I remember Tony saunders the guy who broke his arm throwing the ball, watching that game live and hearing him screaming. He rehabbed and a year later tried to come back and he was in the minor leagues and did the same exact thing again and had to retire. The guy that got hit in the head with the batted ball, that also happened with the same exact two teams in the same exact ballpark except it was the rays pitcher the next time who got hit and it was honestly worse than the one that you saw in my opinion.

[@chaotic_gothic_bi]

I think Dr. Mike should react to hockey injuries next. Those can get intense.

[@milkiuxus]

Can you possibly do soccer injuries? There’s a few insane ones. One being the knee twisted in a 180!

[@stitcharoo4437]

Man getting destroyed by ball Mike: did he catch it 😂 2:25

[@kennethbarrett5578]

Yeah he caught it

[@kemmie9008]

I've had osgood schlatter disease in my left knee since I was around 10. I'm 21 now and it's still very painful. I was told it would go away on its own in a few months but it never did

[@kaboomkieboom8777]

Thank you for doing the sport I’ve been playing in for almost 20 years now.

[@LuckyBones77]

Okay, but you GOTTA cover hockey next. I’m gonna have nightmares about Malarchuk’s and Zednik’s worst injury for the rest of my life. But I’m also curious how the hell ANYONE survives something like that, would love to know the science behind that.

[@kylemcc2458]

As a baseball player I never knew it was this dangerous

Being overweight is the main cause too

[@user-kb7kl5cn3y]

You should do this with hockey next!

[@Fallfox707]

I find it funny when I clicked on a separate video on baseball injuries, then I clicked on what is now my first Dr Mike video, and now I'm a fellow subscriber

[@kinggkongg9694]

These are tough to watch but football ones are stomach turning

[@SwethaM21]

We need a video on cricket injuries

[@libertygaming5331]

Hi Dr Mike. I love watching your great videos, you seem a little down and you haven’t been uploading as much. If you have anything going on in your own life we all totally understand. Do what makes you happy and healthy and you don’t have to upload if you don’t want to. I hope you have a great day 😀!!!

Is it just me or does everyone feel like they have a tendon rupture in their leg now?

[@mrcheesy9633]

what sad part here as a baseball player, he swinged at the pitch, so it’s a strike. 2:06

[@seangleeson8073]

Regarding Saunder's Injury (Broken Humerus when pitching) - it's amazing you mentioned the potential for bone cancer, as, while that wasn't the case with Saunders, it was certainly a contributing factor when Dave Dravecky had the same type of injury a couple decades prior.

[@angelicpuppy]

i tore my achilles tendon in half back when i was a track runner, i at the same time was also a figure skater and a hockey goalie, and i can tell you, it bloody hurts 😭
