Doctor Reacts To Wild 9-1-1 Medical Scenes

9-1-1 is a hit drama on FOX about first responders handling emergencies in Los Angeles. So many of you in the comments have requested I react to this, so with zero knowledge of what I'm about to get into, let's go! Boy, what a rollercoaster this series is. These are absolutely some of the most ridiculous scenarios I've ever seen in a medical show, and there is a LOT wrong here. Regardless, we still talk about newborn babies, shark attacks, a boa constrictor choking a woman, unplanned births during yoga class, car accidents, a KZbin prank gone wrong, tanning booths, a nail incident, and, as always: chest compressions.

Weird as it sounds, I’ve known a number of very experienced EMTs who purposefully make dark humor jokes in the field with patients. It’s because the more relaxed the first responders appear to be, the more calm the patient is. If they are relaxed/joking a bit with the patient the assumption is “oh! They see things like this everyday I am going to be fine”. If the EMT seems stressed then the patient is more likely to panic.

There would be no way that snake would constrict a human hard enough to need to be put down, they could have easily unwrapped it from her without having to kill it. The only reason she was in trouble in the first place was handling a snake that size alone, because it didn't realize it was hurting her, it was just squeezing hard enough to anchor itself, which unfortunately for a human is strong enough to cut off your airflow.

[@master_moose]

I love watching 9-1-1 while knowing full well that it's not all that realistic, however a couple things to keep in mind; because it's a TV show, they have limited time to make the situation make sense to the lowest common denominator viewer. Also, the 911 calls they respond to (usually in the cold opening) are often derived from actual events. So the writers have a bunch of info that is relevant to include, but they have only a few minutes in which to cram it all in. So you end up with first responders who are clairvoyant and have x-ray vision. XD

As someone who is currently getting EMT certified, this show is so wild. Literally our scope of practice essentially boils down to BLS and transport, however ALS and beyond is primarily handled by Paramedics and beyond. EMT's don't diagnose, don't intubate, don't do crikes, don't do needle decompressions, and this show has them do all of that stuff! hahahahaha. Def gives First Responders a bad name. But the show is my guilty pleasure. Especially because that engine has a response area of essentially ALL of LA County, from Lancaster to all the way down to Long Beach.

Actually the dispatchers comment about the caller just hanging up when help arrives is an important statement. My wife was a dispatcher and she always said it was hard to not ever get closure, or to know if the person was okay. Sometimes my wife was the last person to talk to a person before they passed away.

[@degtyarev708]

Its a fairly big theme for the dispatchers throughout show. The struggle of lacking closure and not knowing if they've made a difference, but also how rewarding it is in the cases where they they do know. Wonderful show, medical accuracy aside haha.

[@mikacakes]

I work with drug and alcohol addicts, calling emergency is something I've had to do frequently - sometimes for less serious issues, sometimes for cardiac arrests - I always make sure to thank the dispatcher and tell them the emergency service has arrived before hanging up. I don't understand why people just hang up? It's not like you are "busy" once the professionals arrive, you just stand back and watch, so there is really no reason to not end the call normally.

I think the reason that chest compressions in medical dramas always look so terrible is because the actors playing the EMTs are too afraid to risk hurting the other actors playing the patients. It’s understandable. Though, I think it would be possible to use some kind of prosthetic chest to make the chest compressions LOOK more real.

@@zuilia99 Exactly. Typically when that happens the snake does not think it is going to eat you. The snake is just doing its best to stay on you and doesn't know that your neck can't take the strength of the snake's muscles, or the weight of the snake. It is why people who handle snakes properly won't even let a snake that big get close to wrapping around their neck. They will keep the snake on the shoulders only, and if the snake seems like it might wrap you immediately relocate the head before it is even close to wrapping your neck. Also if you are not strong enough to reposition the snake by yourself then you should not have the snake out and on you without someone else nearby to help.
