(boom)
- Ah, there we go.
(Jordan laughing)
Family Guy, chicken fights.
You know it's gonna be funny,
but will it be medically accurate
or just full on El Pollo Loco?
Let's dive right in.
(cars crashing)
- Oh!
- Oh God, buddy, I'm sorry. - Oops.
- You okay?
The biggest things we always worry about in car crashes
is whiplash injuries.
Very rarely do you actually fracture your neck.
You would expect after a bad car accident to have pain,
probably one to two or even three days after.
Anti-inflammatory medicines could be helpful
in that situation.
(Jordan laughing)
(indistinct)
This type of injury that Peter would sustain
would be again a type of whiplash
because of the force going into your body
and your head kind of going the other direction.
You're worried about skull fracture.
You're worried about different types
of intercranial bleeding.
Most of the time head trauma from a fall
would be related to like a subdural hematoma,
but it can also be a subarachnoid bleed
from a trauma as well.
(glass breaking)
You gotta be super careful with glass injuries.
It becomes super sharp.
You have all these different places that you cut yourself.
We see somebody and they're just cut up everywhere
and we have to sew, everything up.
I've even seen patients where the glass is just
embedded into their bodies.
I have seen people come in,
they've been picked at by roosters.
They're doing activities they shouldn't be doing.
You definitely have to worry about
puncture wounds by animals,
different types of bacteria that they harbor.
(footsteps pattering)
- Did he just run over him?
People come into the emergency department all the time
with injuries related to being run over
at low speeds, mostly.
Sometimes people get crush injuries
and their bones just snap under the pressure.
I don't think windshields shatter in that way.
Otherwise there'd be a lot of debris everywhere.
Usually windshields stay connected.
That's why you see spider webbing on a windshield
when somebody has a head injury.
(intense music)
He's gonna squish him.
Oh, nice, he moved out of the way.
(kids cheering)
Nice, at least the kids get the ice cream.
Man, they're just going at it.
A lot of times people will come in with head injuries
a week or two later, they're still having headaches.
Typically there's something called
post-concussive syndrome where you can be nauseous,
some blurry vision.
It could last anywhere from a couple days,
to weeks, to months, to even a year.
Typically you need to follow up with a neurologist.
(glass smashing)
(electricity pulsing) - Oh!
- There's nothing like some electrocution.
Potential things that we see in the emergency department:
burns to the skin,
burns to the underlying muscles in the tissue,
and actually can cause cardiac arrest
because our heart is basically beating based on electricity.
(building exploding)
A lot of explosive injuries.
The biggest things we worry about,
besides like the burns and the tissue injuries,
is eardrum ruptures.
And then you always worry about pneumothorax
because it's a compressive injury.
Ah, there we go.
Astronauts, obviously when they shoot off into space
they're getting a lot of g-force.
You wanna keep all the blood up in your head.
G-forces like, kind of pull the blood out.
So there are different techniques that you can learn.
The hook method, which you go, "Hook-ah"
You look ridiculous,
but it keeps the blood in your head.
- Oh my gosh.
The chicken's eyes are just flying out.
I love it.
But you get to see the big old punching bag in his throat.
See the uvula and the posterior pharynx.
Now they are no gravity.
Oh, they're gonna be flying everywhere.
Oh, look at that teeth going flying.
So, those are definitely some big molars.
They definitely look like they're way in the back.
'Cause the roots, they don't come flying out like that.
We'll have people come in where their teeth are missing.
If you can bring the tooth in
and it's been within like an hour and a half or so
we can just gently rinse it and put it back into place.
(Peter groans)
(glass breaking)
If you get injured in space, where are the doctors?
Typically there's some sort of medical officer
and then you can always call back
to get online medical direction.
Yep. Yeah.
Smart, smart, smart.
Okay. Yep.
What?
I don't know, does that happen?
Does your head explode when you are out in space
without a helmet on?
If there are any astronauts out there, let me know.
Does this sort of thing happen?
The burn.
Oh!
Nasty.
We got people who vomit so much.
Typically there's no bad diseases
that you potentially could get from somebody else.
The biggest thing you always worry about
is could there be blood in it?
The vomitus itself, the acid?
No, not an issue.
- For photographing. - Can't really dast for vomit.
- All right.
It's gonna crash right into an oil rig.
And now it's gonna be a big explosion,
at some point.
We finally seeing some blood coming outta Peter,
but we don't know where it's coming from.
It's got all the abrasions, ripped clothes,
still has the black eye.
His glasses are still intact though
which is quite impressive.
(chicken screaming)
Hot air.
You got your first degree burns
which is your red skin, painful sunburn.
And then you get your second degree,
third degree, and fourth degree.
Oh!
Yeah, all those injuries with that massive wrench
it's gonna cause fractures
and always worry about intracranial bleeding
as well as dislocation of any joint
that it's actually hitting.
This show is making it look like, oh no problem,
it's benign to hit somebody with something like this.
No you're gonna cause a lot of damage.
(mouse clicking)
(chains rattling)
(triumphant music)
Holy cow.
The only hook injuries that we end up really dealing with
are like fish hook injuries.
It'd actually be really good if you actually bring
in another version of the hook,
so we can actually see what the end looks like.
(Chicken groaning)
(Peter screaming)
Wow, actually quite creative.
Face, you gotta be really careful
because it's an airway compromise as well.
If there's burns to the face,
you can have swelling of the mucosa
within the posterior pharynx.
And then that could close up your airway.
I don't know his hand's still on fire.
He's gonna be one cooked chicken, ready to eat.
If he lets it keep going.
Uh oh.
The hand of fire.
So you can actually see on Peter
his face gets depressed on that right side
where he is getting punched.
That actually does happen.
And obviously blood coming out the nose, very common.
It can actually go backwards into the lacrimal ducts
and actually come out your eye and have bloody tears.
Sometimes that freaks people out,
but it's nothing dangerous.
Oh!
(spaceship engine starting)
Okay.
Holy cow.
(water splashing)
The heat of the engine,
relating to a spaceship, I think is pretty hot.
So I don't think he got a chance.
(mouse clicking)
(oil rig exploding)
Well, the oil rig finally blew up.
Peter, he survived. Of course.
I don't know how somebody walks away from that.
He's got a lot of open wounds.
Salt water probably pretty good for it.
Even though there's a lot of microorganisms in the water,
the likelihood that he'll have an infection
is probably pretty low.
It is something you definitely need to take a look at.
Wow. So that was an epic fight.
People are coming into the emergency department all the time
with just like a smidget of a section
of what just happened.
It was a lot of fun to interact with
and to kind of pull out what would happen in real life,
what we do.
