(blades clanging) - What?
That was freaking cool.
In honor of the remake today, we are reacting to
and breaking down all of the aggressive medical scenes
and survival injuries from the highly popular video game
- [Game Voiceover] Resident Evil.
- This may get a little intense.
Let's dive right.
(scythe whooshes and clangs) Oh!
Right off the bat.
Ouch.
I don't know what type of yard tool that is.
That's not your normal shovel.
The likely laceration to the neck,
hitting the carotid artery, hitting the jugular vein,
and the potential of bleeding out fast.
It just depends on which vessels actually hit.
Oh, don't throw a grenade-
Oh, my gosh.
Explosive injuries from a grenade.
There's fragments that come off the grenade
plus the compressive force.
Things I think about when we see this is barotrauma.
You pop your eardrums,
you can collapse a lung pretty easily,
and any hollow organs-
- I have hollow bones.
- Are at risk for type of ruptures as well.
Oh.
(rock thudding)
Run, man, run.
(rock thudding)
(character screams)
I mean, I feel like they stole that from "Indiana Jones."
Character gets crushed.
Now, crush with a big boulder?
Yes, that size will probably kill you.
If not, it'll actually just crush your bones
or the soft tissue.
So we worry about rhabdomyolysis muscle breakdown,
high potassium, actually.
When the cells break,
potassium gets released into the bloodstream.
Too much potassium can actually lead into cardiac arrest.
(pitchfork whooshes and clangs)
Wow.
Think about being impaled with a pitchfork.
Worry about right into the eye, into the brain,
you're dead.
There are incidences where people actually get impaled
in their skull through their brain.
Obviously, not every single time
and if it's in a certain spot,
they may not actually succumb to the injury.
The world's coming at ya.
(chainsaw clanging) (blood sloshing)
What?
I've literally seen chainsaw injuries.
They actually do a pretty good job
of showing how the body's kind of reacting,
moving, getting stuck.
Because it's a chain.
It's grabbing and ripping the tissue
and it's actually thick, right?
It's not like a surgical blade.
The injuries that I've seen are mostly
just deep into the tissue.
Sometimes we can see where they get to a bone.
Most of the time it's extremities.
(sparks fizzing)
(characters grunting)
(debris rumbling)
How is that even in a game?
I don't know what that is.
Roaming candle, dynamite.
Firework injuries happen.
Explosions happen.
I've seen people's limbs get exploded off hands
versus just simple lacerations.
People hold it too long or knock over a fuse
and everybody gets hit with them.
The biggest things you worry about
in these explosive injuries are the explosive tissues.
Very much concerned about compartment syndrome
where there's so much swelling
'cause of the explosion that's occurring.
(bear trap clanging)
Oh.
That's a massive bear trap.
That is huge.
- Huge.
- And you think about getting collapsed with rusty metal.
Obviously the rust isn't the issue,
but lots of bacteria and different pathogens can be on that.
Besides just having laceration
and trying to get out of this,
you wanna clean the wound out as best you can.
Obviously in a different situation,
you'd want to come to the hospital and get evaluated
and potentially get antibiotics.
(creature growling) (water sloshing)
What is that?
- There's always a bigger fish.
- I mean, that is the biggest crocodile monster dinosaur
I've ever seen.
You get bit by one of those,
obviously they have razor blade-sharp teeth
just like a shark would.
You have to worry about not just the pathogens
that are in the mouth of the creature that bites you,
but whatever's in the water doing to the open wounds,
and then drowning incidents.
How long could you hold your breath for underwater?
(character grunts & dog growls)
Oh!
Mauled by...
wolf, dog, or...
an infected crazy zombie dog-wolf.
- Dog's a wolf.
- We get animal bites come to the emergency department
all the time.
People are concerned about rabies.
People are concerned about infection.
We definitely treat with antibiotics.
For animal bites like this,
we typically use a type of penicillin.
It helps with the pathogens that are common.
Here in the United States, rabies is extremely rare.
If you do get bit, get to the hospital,
immediately get evaluated.
- Oh, that's gotta be hot.
♪ Feeling hot, hot, hot ♪
- Fire into the face
and you're gonna get all your hairs singed on your eyebrows.
You're gonna get your nose hair singed.
The issue ends up being,
are you inhaling this into your lungs,
burning your lungs and then closing your airway.
What the hell?
(bones crunch) (character screams)
- Yeah, just shake the guy off.
That's what the game tells you to do.
Come on.
- Come on!
- That looked painful as hell.
Some crush injuries,
question ends up being you snap the pelvis
and all the ribs around and you can't breathe.
You get pulmonary contusions,
you snap a rib and you can actually puncture a hole
in your lung with your own rib, add insult to injury.
And then you can bleed into that space as well
with the blood that's coming from the lung
and the rib itself.
(rope whizzing and screeching)
- Oh!
Rope burn.
Oh.
That's how you actually to lose a leg.
(character grunting) (knife pinging)
What is he thinking?
- What were they thinking?
- You gotta cut every one of those pieces
versus just cut the one all the way on the end.
That tight, you can snap a bone
with that amount of pressure.
You can dislocate the ankle or the joint that's down there.
You can maybe dislocate the knee
if it's pulling hard enough.
If you have enough force going in the other direction.
(arrow pierces) (character groans)
Wow.
Doing an arrow right to the right side.
Right to the jugular.
No, the lateral aspect of the neck,
the jugular is underneath your sternocleidomastoid
and some of your muscles here in the front.
But it actually could,
if it was strong enough and enough force,
penetrate maybe into the spinal cord itself.
(flail whooshes and pings) Oh!
Somebody tell me what weapon that is
with the the ball and chain with the spikes on it.
That's got a lot of weight behind it.
You're gonna cause fracture to the jaw.
A lot of times when you have a jaw fracture,
fractures on one side and the energy goes out the other,
So you typically have two fractures to the jaw itself.
People don't realize that actually
most of the time an oral maxillofacial surgeon
can actually fix these in the office.
Typically, it's just putting wires on the teeth
to actually wire your jaw shut
where it's a splint in itself.
(characters grunting) Oh.
Oh.
If you strangulate somebody,
how quickly do they die and how do they die?
You can make somebody pass out pretty easily,
but if you continue to hold it,
your decreasing blood flow to the brain
or your causing swelling to the airway.
These are other factors that you have to think about.
(laser beam crackles) Oh!
I don't know if that was sliced in half
or just electrocuted
but I was pretty sure understanding the game and the movies
that those actually sliced people in half
and was just like a super hot laser.
Oh!
That's "Resident Evil" all day right there.
- Oh, dang.
- Actually they did a really good job.
Got bit in the neck, still alive,
bleeding out in the neck,
appropriately grabbing the area,
trying to put pressure on it.
But it could be so much destruction
that it's so hard to stop the bleeding on your own.
And then you will quickly pass out
if you decrease enough blood flow
and you might actually start stroking out
because of hypoperfusion to the brain.
(blades clanging) What?
That was freaking cool.
There are a ton of puncture wounds to the body.
Literally seeing patients come in
with multiple holes in them for multiple different reasons.
It all depends on the areas that these are hitting
and what is puncturing.
Major blood vessels, you're getting to die quickly.
Heart, you're gonna die quickly.
Any major chamber of the heart versus all just soft tissue.
That was...
so cool.
"Resident Evil."
I mean, it's evil, it's dark, it's dirty, it's bloody.
