A lot of you know me for my reactions
to video games on Gamology.
So, I've gotten an overwhelming amount
of requests to react to a short film
that was made from a video game,
Meet the Medic by Team Fortress 2.
I don't even know what that is.
I've never seen it.
This should be interesting.
But before I get into it,
if you're new to my channel,
welcome.
My name is Dr. Jordan Wagner.
I'm an ER doctor.
If you enjoy the educational reaction videos
and other stuff that you see here
on this channel,
please smash that subscribe button
and turn your bell notifications on.
That way you learn when I post a new video.
All right, let's dive right in.
(video whooshes)
(birds singing)
- [Scout] Move Cyclops!
- What?
(wheelchair whooshes)
- [Scout] Come on, come on!
(missile explodes)
- Nice.
(groaning)
(missiles whooshing)
Oh!
(missiles exploding)
Grenades,
explosions,
blast injuries,
loss of limbs,
loss of life.
You're going to get shrapnel injuries.
So, you have impaled objects into you,
you could be amputated,
right?
So, what happens if you get amputated?
Your limb is just off somewhere
and now you're bleeding out
from a major blood vessel.
The first thing you think of,
is compression,
that if that doesn't work,
a bulky dressing to the area,
and if that doesn't work,
a tourniquet.
(Heavy laughing) - [Medic] When the patient
woke up- - Oh, cool!
(chuckles)
This guy's got his ribs open,
that are fractured or cut open.
The doc has his heart in his hand.
Look, you can see the branches off the aorta.
That's really,
really cool.
And I don't know if it's pumping or not,
but the guy's awake and talking.
Where's his anesthesia?
- I lost my medical license.
(laughing)
Archimedes!
No!
It's filthy in there.
- Isn't it ironic,
it's filthy in there,
yet he's wiping his hand on his shirt
and then going to put something in his chest.
- Withstand this voltage.
(splats)
But I'm very certain your heart-
(heart exploding) - Oh, no!
There goes his heart.
- Noise?
- The sound of progress. (laughing)
- Oh, let's see what he's got.
A mega baboon.
Then we got the Lock Ness hamster.
- Where was I?
- Holy, huge heart.
You have branches off the heart itself.
So, you have major vessels
that would come off the aorta.
You have your pulmonary vessels as well.
And then look at this.
You can actually see the coronary vessels
around the heart.
Like, come on,
nerd moment.
(voltage meter whooshes)
(instrumental music)
(heart beating)
- Oh, that looks good.
- Nice, he got it working.
- Should I be awake for this? (laughing)
- Well, no.
But, as long as you are,
could you hold your ribcage (gasping)
open a bit?
I can't seem- (gasping)
(ribcage cracks)
(Heavy screams)
- You could see obviously,
he's just shoving the heart in.
So, it's not going anywhere specific.
And you have to reattach all those vessels.
And when you actually do like open-heart surgery,
they actually potentially take the heart out,
and then you worked on it while the person
is on bypass,
which is a machine
that actually flow the blood,
to work on the heart or do a heart transplant.
That sort of thing.
(video whooshes)
Oops.
- Oh, don't be such a baby.
- People break ribs all the time.
It sucks.
It's painful.
You can't put a cast on it.
You have to breathe,
so, it's always moving.
It's just pain pills and the breathing,
actually apparatus called a spirometer
to actually help you continue to breathe.
That way you don't splint,
basically,
where you would decrease the volume of air
and increase your risk for getting an infection
or pneumonia.
(video whooshes)
- No, they don't.
- Oh, he's got this mega machine.
(machine buzzing)
Oh, cool.
It's like revitalizing the tissue
and closing it all up.
Bad (beep).
I wish I had one of these at my job.
Whatever it was,
regrew the tissue,
put everything back
the way that it should.
But my question is,
why couldn't you just use that
for the heart to begin with?
- Let's go practice medicine.
- Oh, I love it.
(drums playing)
Nice.
(choir music)
I mean, that's how I feel
when I walk into the hospital every day.
I'm ready to go!
(choir music)
(weapons firing)
- Medic!
(rocket explodes)
- Where is this?
It was like battling.
(choir music)
(weapon fires)
(rock music)
Oh, cool.
All right, so the gun thing
basically heals people.
That's cool.
(rock music)
Nice.
- [Scout] Oh, yeah!
- It's almost like the healing power
that you get in a game,
right?
When you get the extra lives or healing power
or the medic bag,
that sort of thing.
(exciting music)
- [Heavy] Doctor!
Are you sure this will work?
(Medic laughs)
- I have no idea!
- Oh, he's flipping it the other way.
(weapon charges)
What is this super charging?
(weapon buzzing)
(Heavy yelling)
Wow!
(weapon buzzing)
It's like making him invincible.
(Heavy laughing) Sweet.
- [Heavy] I am bullet-proof!
- Even in real life,
right,
do we have bullet-proof things.
We typically have bullet resistant apparatuses,
but there are some,
you know,
something can penetrate whatever we're wearing,
if we are in these situations,
in the military or fighting,
that sort of thing.
And you also have to think
that the things that we wear
on the outside prevent
like, penetration,
but you still have blunt trauma,
where it can break rib,
it can cause a collapsing of a lung,
those sorts of things.
But in this situation,
like, come on!
(rock music)
He's taking them down.
Good depiction.
You got the medics that are kind of behind
the front line of this situation.
That way they're protected,
because I think in the world of like,
fighting and battling,
you aren't supposed to be targeting,
even though they probably do,
the medics and the medical help on either side,
because that's just messed up and wrong to do.
But again,
it's warfare.
So, that's still messed up and wrong to do.
(choir music)
That was intense.
And now we're back into the office.
(lighter flicking)
- [Scout] Yes (chuckles),
thanks doc. - Drinking.
You know, maybe to dull your senses,
if you're in a setting
where you don't have an anesthetic,
you don't have pain medication.
They did that back in the day.
If you're having an operation,
you should,
you know, be fasted
for maybe six to eight hours before,
'cause you're going to be anesthetized
and then you're going to be intubated.
So, you don't want any vomiting risk factors.
That's why they say that.
At the end of the day,
these guys are just getting healed
by this weird ray of awesomeness.
So, have at it,
have a drink I guess.
(Scout laughing)
- Oh, man!
You would not believe how much this hurts.
(heart gurgling)
- [Medic] Archimedes!
- I wonder what this machine is?
Like, what is it doing?
Revitalizing tissue?
Making it heal faster?
It almost reminds me of like comic book
kind of movies that are out there,
dealing with like,
healing powers,
like Marvel stuff.
I love it.
(beep)
Oh!
Oh, the lab is exploding!
(glass breaking)
- [Voiceover] But it was then.
- All right.
We got all these weird chemicals,
fallen everywhere.
Things shouldn't be easily
in this situation where it could fall and break.
But things are in glass vials,
because they don't degrade like plastic would.
So, the integrity of the medication
or the chemical stage.
- [Voiceover] Inspiration struck.
(screaming)
(leg whooshes)
(object splats)
- So, now you have chemicals
that are mixing together,
which is super dangerous.
Some people,
an example,
home cleaners,
try to make different cleaners
and mix them together,
which is a horrible idea.
Sometimes you can accidentally make like,
mustard gas.
When you mix chemicals together,
the reaction that they have can make fumes,
which inhaled,
could actually be deadly
and cause serious bodily harm.
So, don't do that.
(video whooshes)
(water splashing)
You got electricity
that's just flying around here.
So, the concern is,
could you get electrocuted?
Say it's water.
Pure water is actually not a good conductor
of electricity.
It's the impurities in the water that do that.
If you get electrocuted,
you need to get evaluated by a doctor,
because sometimes if you get electrocuted
in one spot,
it's going to shoot all the way up and around
and it can go out somewhere else
and you've got to look
at all the damage that can occur.
So, you can have necrosis,
you can have rhabdomyolysis,
which needs IV fluids
and can cause kidney damage and kidney failure.
If the electrocution is so great,
it could stop your heart.
So, these are things you think about
when you see electricity.
(video whooshing)
(liquid bubbles)
(gasping)
Now,
this situation, right?
He sees a potential of mixing of chemicals.
Which is interesting enough.
In medicine,
sometimes you're making a product
or a medicine for one purpose
and then it actually works better
for something else.
And it happens all the time.
There are times when you actually are looking
for a different medication,
say there's one having to do with like,
blood pressure treatment and then accidentally
they discovered Viagra.
They've discovered medications
with the idea of it treating one thing
and then become something different.
(video whooshes)
- Kill me!
(screaming)
Kill me!
(gun fires)
Kill me!
(gun fires)
- I'm trying,
you're invincible.
- I loved it.
It was very weird,
very awkward.
I had no idea what was going on,
but immediately when I saw anatomy,
I totally nerded out,
right?
I love this stuff.
