- There's only one key to open the device.
It's in the stomach of your dead cellmate.
- Oh!
What?
Weird head wear, lasers, and of course, more insane traps
that will really grind your gears.
- You know, that really grinds my gears.
- Today we are back at it,
reacting to the medical scenes and injuries from Saw.
Let's dive right in.
(television beep)
- [Billy] When the timer expires,
the door in front of you will be locked forever.
Just one hint as to where that key is.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Oh.
No.
Not good!
You gotta use some sort of protection.
Literally at work, whenever we're finished with a needle
it has to go into a sharps container,
so that way it's not just left in the trash by accident,
left on the counter and you don't know.
Like, as a physician myself, any needle that I use,
I literally make sure that I put that away.
- [Billy] It will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
(Billy laughing)
Let the game begin.
- But if the needle still has some blood in it,
you can actually inoculate somebody else
or inject it by accident,
and there could be bloodborne pathogens
that might be transmitted that way.
Like Hepatitis B and C and then obviously HIV.
- [Character 1] What are you doing?
(person screaming)
- [Character 2] What the fuck are you doing?
- No, no.
- [Character 2] Put her down.
- Whoa.
(person screaming)
(person gasps)
Oh.
Ah.
Ouch, it made it sound like it was like glass,
but all of those syringes are probably plastic,
but the needles themselves are potentially all metal.
Ow.
- The fuck is wrong with you?
(person screaming)
- She found the key?
How the heck did that happen?
(dramatic instrumental music)
Oh my gosh, yeah.
You had enough time to put the key in and you screwed up.
Oh my gosh.
- You idiot.
- I know some people are terrified of needles,
I've seen many people pass out in the hospital
from needle sticks, but I always tell them,
"Don't worry, this is the best place to actually pass out,
if you're gonna pass out."
- Safest place in the world to be.
- [Billy] Hello gentlemen, you came looking for the game,
congratulations, you found it.
- Oh, he found the game.
( Billy narrating)
Never good when there's a weird contraption around
your neck, especially with like this weird breathy voice
coming over the loud speaker.
It is literally like the C-collar from hell.
- Can't be.
- [Billy] You may recognize the device
around your collar, Dr. Nelson.
- Dr. Nelson.
(intense instrumental music)
- [Billy] These laser cutters slice through tissue and bone.
- Oh, laser cutters? We don't get to use those
in the emergency department.
You gotta be probably really careful with them,
they might be attached to robotic arms
or something that's super stable versus
these freeform devices.
- [Billy] You both haver an opportunity to live,
all you need to do is confess.
- Confess?
- [Billy] It's that easy.
(person screaming)
- Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
I wonder if those lasers can actually cut
through other material outside of flesh?
Why wouldn't it be burning a hole through the ceiling
as it just went up?
- I confess, yeah.
- Okay, okay, all right, all right John Kramer, it was me.
It was me I fucked up,
I messed up your x-rays.
- Oh, he's the doctor that messed up the x-ray.
Sometimes doctors actually do mess up, they're human beings
and they either dictate or write something in
the wrong chart, or leave something out,
they might have missed something.
These things do happen.
- I should have been there for you.
(person gasps)
But I wasn't.
- Oh.
I was expecting his face to be cut like a cake,
where it was into pieces, right?
How quickly could somebody succumb to these injuries?
It just all depends on how quickly the blood
is leaving the body.
- [Billy] The device you are wearing is hooked
into your upper and lower jaws,
when the time on the back goes off,
your mouth will be permanently ripped open.
Think of it like a reverse bear trap.
(device shatters)
- Oh.
I've never seen any bear trap injuries
in the emergency departments that I work,
but I bet they do occur in areas where hunting would go on.
I work more in an urban setting,
so the likelihood is a lot lower.
- There's only one key to open the device,
it's in the stomach of your dead cellmate.
- Oh.
What?
(person gasping)
Oh no, no, don't freak out.
Okay, you got the lock, remember,
if anything is attached to your head, don't just like rip,
turn around, you don't know if it starts things, okay?
(person breathing heavily)
(clock ticking)
- Oh, he's not dead.
I wonder if
he was given certain medications to keep him
from being able to move, or was he paralyzed
from the neck down?
Because he was opening his eyes.
(person gasps)
Big huge scalpel to the abdomen.
I definitely wouldn't be chopping that way.
If you're going to cut the abdomen open,
you want smooth strokes, like what they do in surgery,
and then just do it layer by layer, get in there,
move tissue around, spread it open, so then you can get
to wherever this might be.
(intense instrumental music)
(device crashes)
Oh, she got lucky.
Is it, ripping your face off, but is your airway
still attached, rip all the way through to where it messes
with the spinal chord in the back?
Depends on where the fulcrums are and all that stuff.
I hope I never find myself in a situation where
I would even have to deal with that.
- The human body is a miraculous creation.
Ever wonder how far the arm can twist?
(person screaming)
- Oh my gosh, we're twisting?
It looks like it is screwed into the hands and the feet?
So, you can actually go between the bones
of your hands without fracturing.
We've seen injuries where people will accidentally
get a nail and the bones are actually fine,
it squirts right through.
(person gasps)
- [Billy] Are you willing?
- Have mercy.
- [Billy] To take a bullet for the man who killed your son?
- Whoa.
(gears clatter)
(person gasping)
Oh.
Rotating, that is so painful.
When we have somebody who dislocates their shoulder,
we'll actually do external rotation of the shoulder.
It's hard to get it all the way to 90 degrees,
now you are actually rotating in this direction,
even further?
Ouch.
(intense instrumental music)
- Oh my God.
(person screaming)
- Ouch.
(person screaming)
Ah, oh so it's held in place, it looks like it's rotating
at the elbow?
We're made to rotate like this,
it's called pronation and supination.
It's made to do that, but not to great extremes.
Oh the leg, oh the leg, oh my gosh, oh no.
(person screaming)
We don't see too many rotary type injuries.
Typically, they'll probably be more of a snap
of the tibia itself, but the patella can go side to side,
but that's easily fixed.
- The device you are wearing is hooked into your ribcage...
(person gasps)
By the time this tape is finished, you'll have one minute
to find a way out.
- You got hooks or barbs stuck onto the ribs.
We actually do procedures where we cut open the chest
and lift the ribcage off.
- There is a single key that will unlock
the harness carrying you, it is right in front of you.
All you have to do is reach in and take it.
(person crying)
But do it quickly, the acid will dissolve the key
in a matter of seconds.
- There's a bunch of different acids
that we always worry about, hydrofluoric acid,
hydrochloric acid, bad PH's that will burn tissue.
(intense instrumental music)
(person gasps)
Oh.
You can still actually live for a little while
with the ribcage gone.
- She's gone.
- There's a protective layer, when you fracture
and break off all those ribs, you're gonna
have some bleeding.
So, it causes a lot of pain, are you going
to die right away? No, actually.
So that ones very, very interesting.
Oh my gosh, super awesome, I do enjoy the crazy saw movies
for what they are.
It does relate back to injuries
that we see in the emergency department.
