(gunshots firing) (man screaming)
- What!
Brainstorming sesh, another one bites the dust
and that's definitely going to leave a mark.
In honor of the second season dropping,
today we are breaking down
and reacting to all of the intense medical scenes
and over the top injuries from 'Invincible'.
- I am invincible!
- Let's dive right in.
(video beeps)
(funky song plays)
First of all, who doesn't want to be as jacked
as that guy.
The only supplement that I end up taking
when I work out is creatine and a lot of water
and maybe some coffee if I need some energy.
To get that big, very hard to do.
(key clacks) (funky songs plays)
Oh, sweet. (gunshots firing)
Does that actually happen?
No, it typically goes right through you.
You might be able to wear a Kevlar vest, metal plates.
Most of the time these are resistant to the bolts
but doesn't necessarily stop it
and you're also going to get the compressive force.
It can break ribs or puncture a lung
without even going through.
(key clacks)
They got a lot of money-
- A lot of money-
- and we got balls of white stuff.
Probably cocaine, could also be fentanyl.
As a physician, I do not advise
or recommend any illegal substances.
Anything that you do ingest should be doctor prescribed,
nutrition prescribed or something that you can get
over the counter at a pharmacy or a retail store.
(gunshots firing again)
Nice. Just, just popping through, you know,
brick walls, no problem.
I see people who the brick wall bounces them back
and they'll get concussions,
intracranial bleeding, skull fractures.
(gunshots fire)
(man yelling)
What?
- What?
- People will say, 'Hey, you can get hit in the nose
and it can go into your brain'.
If you have a fracture of your face that's so compressive
that it compresses in, yes,
bones could potentially go into the
cavity where your brain is.
Does it cause brain injury?
Maybe. Maybe not.
It's always on an individual basis.
(knife slashes) (man grunts)
I wouldn't be fighting this guy.
Wouldn't you just run away?
(man grunts loudly) (funky song plays)
Ooh, blunt trauma to the face.
Blood splattering everywhere.
That does happen.
Half your nose is bone, half of it's cartilage.
You can actually crack and break some
of the cartilage there,
but most of the time when somebody breaks their nose,
they breaking it at the bridge here.
(gunshot fires again) (blood splatters)
(doctor laughs)
Just leave people. Come on!
- Just leave.
- Literally shot him right in the deltoid
and went right back, shot him in his own forehead.
We will see people who get gunshot wounds
to the skull and to the head.
Doesn't necessarily mean you're going
to die instantaneously,
but it does mean your chance of mortality is extremely high.
(key clacks) (man grunts & chokes)
- Tell Mr. Lu, next time I find him
on our turf, I won't be so gentle.
(neck snaps) (doctor laughs)
- Well, he can't tell him now.
He just snapped his neck.
Does snapping your neck instantly kill you?
No, the movies make it sound that way.
But if you cause a spinal cord injury relating
to the trauma of your neck and if it's high enough, yes,
it will prevent you from having the ability to breathe.
- You have a good time? (building explodes)
- Whoa.
(people exclaiming)
- What the hell is that?
- That's what I'm saying.
- Come on!
- Uh, run. Get out of there.
We see people come all the time with ankle injuries.
You can walk on an ankle fracture if it's lateral,
meaning on the outside, that's if the fibula is fractured.
It's a non-weight-bearing bone,
so you can actually be able to walk
on that versus your tibia,
which is actually the bone
that you feel more medially or on the inside.
(man grunts) (man gasps)
(woman screams)
Oh geez.
Whoa!
Nice.
(keys clack)
These superheroes have that like crazy superhero focus.
I actually helped develop a product called 'Level Up'.
Check it out, lifehappens.com.
(man grunts)
So he was getting strangled.
We get people that come to the ED
looking for help.
- Offer help.
- About what to do with the pain.
Our biggest concern is, one airway.
Is the airway swelling?
And the other is, are the major blood vessels
in the neck injured?
(ominous music) (superhero chokes)
(man screams) (superhero thuds)
(superhero grunts)
Obviously, a ton of damage
that the superhero is taking.
If this was to a normal human,
every bone in that body would probably be broken
with all that damage that is going on
with the concrete
and flying around and getting smashed
and getting hit. (villain grunts)
Uh- oh, I want to see what this guy's face looks like.
Oh, okay.
(ominous music)
(villain grunts)
We're missing the cartilage of the nose.
- Your nose!
- And you can see in that eye it's all red
where it's supposed to be white
and we actually call that a subconjunctival hemorrhage.
It looks so scary. It's fine.
(villain screams) (ominous music)
(blood splatters) (keys clack)
Somebody please help me out there in the comments.
- Can you help a brother out?
- Blunt trauma to the abdomen,
might be the chest, but the abdomen's soft, right?
The chest has your ribs
and your sternum, so it's much harder
to cause a puncture wound to that area.
Then you worry about, besides your organs,
the aorta and your inferior vena cava.
(punches thud) (man grunts)
(keys clack)
It just seems like all
that blunt trauma is just pissing him off.
- You pissed me off.
- People punch individuals in the face all the time.
You're not only going to break their face,
but you're going to break your own hand.
Think about it.
You have so many little tiny bones
in your hand that you're going against
big flat pieces of bone.
Oh man, they're trying to eat his face.
(man grunts again)
(man screams)
Oh my gosh!
Mouths are very dirty.
There's a lot of bacteria in there
and I've had to unfortunately admit people to the hospital
who get what we call cellulitis due to human bites.
The bacteria just goes rampant,
it gets into the tissue
and then can get into your bloodstream.
(blood splatters)
There's no spine, but there is the vertebral column
or the bones of the spine,
but there is no cord going down behind it.
So you have the vertebral body,
but normally the spinal cord would go right
behind it in a canal.
- Move it! - Oh!
- Prep OR three, six, and eight.
- I mean, everybody's wearing their PPE.
This is pretty good.
- Prep that man.
- I love this stethoscope use.
Looking to hear if you have breath sounds or not.
You're looking to hear if there's a collapsed lung.
(cart wheels roll)
- This is bad.
- Oh, we got an open abdomen.
Everybody's in their sterile gowns.
We see intestines. Nice.
That's kind of looking real
and on some sort of ventilator, oxygen support.
- Pulse is dropping people. - I'm on it.
- Oh geez.
Pulse is dropping, meaning, not enough oxygenation.
Could be decrease in blood volume.
Typically, if you don't have decreased blood volume,
your heart rate is up, so it's a bad sign
that the pulse is dropping.
And then obviously, you're seeing bacterial bleeding
just squirting everywhere.
(keys clack) (ominous music)
And,
most of the time we don't have viewing rooms
at the majority of the hospitals here
in the United States.
Some teaching hospitals you do, but very rarely.
- How long was I out?
- Six days.
- Whoa. - Six days.
- Sometimes you can be out
for many days in a chemically induced coma.
Sometimes we'll sedate you.
Sometimes you don't need to be sedated,
but you're not waking up
and that's in this circumstance
and doctors don't know exactly when
somebody might actually wake up.
'Invincible'. This was actually really good.
I know that I've done 'Invincible' once before
and it was a lot of like battles and fighting,
but this one was actually pretty good.
We saw a lot of medical injuries,
a lot of blunt trauma, a lot of blood,
but stuff actually does happen.
Also, big new things on the horizon.
