It might been him getting up to quickly. As a fairly young person (I’m in my 20s) I have already had multiple back problems, whether it be slipped discs, lumbar sprains etc. getting up too quickly has absolutely caused some searing pain at times. Enough to slip another disc? Probably not but I could see it happening when I’m older and not taking the proper care.

One thing about Aaron on Season 3: while it's clear HK was not the right show for him to be on, due to the stress and atmosphere of everything compared to how goofy and fun he was, I'm glad we still got to know the kind soul he had and joy he was willing to offer the world. It's sad that he's no longer with us, because I imagine him being up there with Sterling in terms of the most beloved HK alums for how kind and sweet they were in the face of everything. May He Rest In Peace.

[@ultranaticproductions3103]

Robert may rival Jon from S11 as the unluckiest contestant in HK history. Along with his medical evacuation, he missed out on a reward in S5 due to his obesity being too heavy for the helicopter, and only went on 1 reward in S6, due to swapping teams at the wrong times or going to the hospital again that season missing a reward his team won anyways, as well as the service the episode before. And his team tried to put him up for nomination that service just because he couldn't be there, which was pretty dirty gameplay. Thankfully, he's not only a very successful chef now, but has lost a ton of weight and is in tip-top shape physically.

It's obvious Hell's Kitchen is brutally intense, physically and mentally. But I'm glad that Ramsey has enough sense to draw the line where health takes priority. Ramsey wants you to work for your place, but he doesn't want you to work yourself to death. Whether you got injured on the job, got suddenly ill, or had a flare from chronic illness, Ramsey knows when enough is enough. He does value health above dreams. And he respects the contestants who have to bow out due to health complications.

Hell's Kitchen is a place, where you can find your breaking point through emotion, or through health. I'm glad that the contestants and Chef Ramsay bring out sympathy towards those, who are forced to quit due to health reasons. It's a hard ride, but one can find sympathy too.

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

Despite his reputation for being cutthroat and brutal, Chef Ramsay really only doles out the insult carousel for those who really deserve it. The contestants who got sick or injured? That wasn't the result of some power trip or unchecked ego. Accidents happen. Injuries happen. Sickness happens. They worked hard, they kept their chin up, but they got the short stick. He's just as polite with kids when they get overwhelmed. I remember seeing a clip from a different show where a blind contestant worried that her pie didn't come out right. Chef Ramsay told her the pie was fantastic (and it really was). He explained what he was seeing, he dragged the fork over the crisp crust, and ultimately, a different contestant lost that round. He's not an ego breaker. He's an ego equalizer. Anyone who needs taken down a notch, he does that. Anyone who needs a boost, he does that as well.

You should do a history on the hospital visits that chefs came back from. For example, season 11 when Jeremy had to go to the hospital after losing his balance and saying he had trouble breathing only for it to be that he wasn't eating enough. Another one is in the second final five episode of season 12 with Rochelle who cut her tip of her thumb off in the punishment and came back ready to be the hero in the kitchen mere minutes before Hell's Kitchen opened that night. It gets over looked because of Joy quitting that very same episode, I think.

As someone who suffers from PTSD, I can tell you emotional induced physical issues can be very serious. I lost my eye from one when it cause my retina to detach. As a former reality tv crew member, I have been trying to warn people about the very serious danger of reality tv. We push people into emotional distress for good dramatic content, but there are zero mental health professionals required to be on set (physical medical professionals are required). I was put on suicide watch more than once, but I have zero suicide prevention training. I finally quit cause I was not going to contribute to that anymore. People have killed themselves and others because of what reality tv has done to them mentally. This is not safe, and it’s not ok.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Chef Ramsey? Despite how hard he is on the chef's, he puts their health above all else.

[@Trey-dd6md]

I find it funny that Larry was the first person to be medically removed from the game given that his full name is Larry Sik. Ironic?

[@wrestlingstuffv2]

Oh come on now, man. That was savage, lol

[@TheEmpressReborn]

He isn't. Jeff from S1 technically is the first. It doesn't show, but he got into a fight with Ramsay in the lot and hurt himself. This is mentioned in a few sites, and briefly in the episode.

[@spiritedprincess4509]

Steve most def had untreated knee injury that worse. I experienced the same thing 3 years ago and was out of work for 2 months. Still feel pain all the time.

[@loveislove-le5nj]

I've had migraines so bad that I have fainted and intense tension so bad. It's something you can't explain, just a throbbing like knives stabbing you.

[@thompsongunner27]

When Robert needed to go to the hospital the second time, I felt so bad for him

[@sherra-sama]

Robert is a gotdang inspiration, I love that man. Side note, these are some of the few moments you can really see the "Ramsey personality" fall off and the actual man take over. He really does care.

[@FoxGamer39618]

9:59 I hated Nick’s response to Bret’s departure from an injury. It almost sounded like he wanted worse to happen to the guy.

[@TheFredster32]

Bret beyond a doubt would have made it to the black jackets in Season 14 over Josh, possibly even outlasting Nick given how inconsistent he was in their season. I think Steve could’ve cracked the Top 10, and most definitely would have outlasted Frank given his horrendous service. Larry probably would have ranked 9th or 10th, while Aaron was going home the following service either way. Jason definitely could have been a sixth black jacket as opposed to the five on the original season.

Suggestion for the next video: the history of winning team eliminations in Hell’s Kitchen Love the content by the way. One of the few channels I actually allow notifications for 👍👍

[@Evachuber]

Joshua was a shit cook, but on god, him really caring for Aaron and seeming very worried for Aaron ("That scared the crap out of me!") was oddly pretty wholesome. I sense he would have been a good person if the competition didn't make him have one of the biggest fuck ups in the history of HK.

[@mohammedfaiisal]

Jason was impressive as he had health problems and still went to the final

[@MegaMr46]

I would love to see look through of the final service brigade including with the chefs replacing the top 10 (like Dewberry replacing Jeff, Robert replacing Tenille (to make up for Season 5 medical departure), Nona replacing Ed, etc.)

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

Poor Aaron. He was too sweet to stay in this world. RIP

[@gradel888]

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about Chris from season 18 and him leaving for his mental health

[@InkAndPoet]

While mental health is a medical issue, it doesn't call for an immediate evacuation. He left on his own terms, while everyone else was forced to leave for their physical health reasons.

[@moonbased7796]

I mean technically having an mental health issue is an medical issue (and should be taken seriously no matter the circumstances) but in that case compared to most of the insurances in the video is that Chris left on his own terms where as people like Aaron (rip) where they had to leave because of another situation by ambulance.

[@mastermind4499]

@@InkAndPoet we all know who got evacuated because of mental health. He can speak for himself

[@InkAndPoet]

@@mastermind4499 hahahaha good one.

[@margarethmichelina5146]

He's more like quitting because he can't handle his personal demons. Hopefully, he's doing well now.

[@amberlily3348]

I'm not a doctor, but watching Drew in his recounting of what happened it very much looks like he could have suffered some sort of stroke.

[@zachbernheisel2239]

He was suffering from kidney failure, the result of rapid weight loss. Luckily it was caught early, giving time for him to receive proper treatment.

[@goliath_red1102]

I’d love to see next a mix of the worst punishments in Hell’s Kitchen. I’d put S11 episode 1 with the blue team having to go through the desert without AC and Christian talking nonstop

[@guerrerowarrior1]

Ramsey really is a good guy. Hats off to him for caring about the contestants.

[@SagittariusQueen1980]

Man, I felt bad for Aaron when he had to leave the competition, may he RIP.

[@dark_slayer9542]

I keep forgetting Arron is dead it’s been a decade now RIP may Arron fly high 🕊️

[@ItsAaronsaccount05]

Rip Aaron Song 1959-2010

[@Steventhe2nd]

I will say this, had it not been for the injury, Ji would've been a serious threat of winning season 5

[@carlosmunoz6952]

With antonia, are the cameramen not allowed to say or do anything or interact even in a medical situation?

[@zockerteam387]

I dont think larry would come that far but he was humble when he told the others that he cant come back i hope hes doing fine today

[@nairson]

Video idea. You should do the top 5 best friendships in hells kitchen

[@Leviatiemily]

New fear unlocked: slipped disc while taking a shit

[@Cre47]

Ji’s departure definitely shuffled up the season. Lacey and Colleen would have been gone much earlier. Ben and /or possibly Andrea would have not reached the black jackets. Vanessa also had shuffle the season a bit too as probably Matt would have not got the black jackets though not sure if she would have reached it.

[@NorikoSurge]

Antonia was most likely having a panic attack and had a migraine as a result of it.

[@freddyandfoxy7526]

6:18 whoever edited this should have been fired.

[@jacobcraft123]

7:52 going by what he is saying about his knee being very swollen n bigger then his left knee , im guessing he hyper extended it or flatout blew it out , i personally have done that 3 times to my knees (once on my right knee twice on my left knee) its not fun at all , my left one was so bad i had to be wheelchaired out of my shcool n had to go home

[@ayajade6683]

Correct I believe he needed surgery on it

[@BlackOutDisco28]

Rest in peace Aaron

[@DarkDreamsAndMoonlitNights]

Seeing Robert leave was devestating, especially seeing how he had earned his way to Black Jackets and was on the reward.

[@superiorgamedude]

Please do a video on chefs who got to keep their jacket.

[@wbrownshadow]

You gotta give props to them for trying to make it as far as they did with conditions like Roberts. I give him more props even when he came back in Season 6 to try again and leave on the shows terms and not health terms

[@marioponce8482]

For a video idea, how about the most deceiving chefs in Hell's Kitchen. In a good way or a bad way. For examples: Season 19 Cody entered with a very cocky attitude and looked like to be a very unlikable person. That changed around soon to the point he became very respectable. He even tried to tell Marc where Marc was in the wrong. Season 16 Johnny seemed like a decent guy, until episode 3. Started being such a bully and made too many excuses for himself.

[@margarethmichelina5146]

For Johnny, we already saw his true color when Ryan got a good score on Signature Dish challenge. He said "What the hell is going on? This can't be happening!" Or something like that. He already show his mysognistic from Day One. Seriously, he and Matt should join Andrew Tate's cult.

[@corwynkingston3714]

I can't help but think that Jason was the one who got robbed. I genuinely think he would have made the top 2 in season 9.

[@stefanusrodick1024]

I cant believe you would forget gia and jareds huge cut, it was so painful, it got them eliminated

[@prasithoudomvilay8454]

Antonia one I feel was completely stages because she was embrassed and failed with her signature dish, that's why she left

[@quinnnewman9538]

Self worth should never be determined by weight but Robert’s commitment to getting healthy is heartwarming and great!

[@adrianmiskiewicz6762]

Idea for video: What if S6 Dave was forced to quit after his hand injury?

[@pokemonmanic3595]

Kevin would’ve won

[@secretaccount4441]

New fear unlock: Hurting my back from taking a huge shit

[@namelessdork2256]

It's always heart-breaking for someone to need immediate medical attention and evacuation. But I did chuckle at the accident of a busted back due to too big of a dump. I mean, if you can laugh a little at that, you're not completly broken.

[@Mudlink]

I agree with where you'd rank most of these people if they weren't medically evacuated but honestly I see Bret making it to the black jackets over Josh because good lord he was tanking pretty hard around that time.

[@shadowhell8378]

How about a wounded Warrior history video. Contestants that got injured by kept fighting through

[@antfbi]

Love the uptalk! Trying to sound like chills
