- I feel like-
(Jordan laughing)
- Don't worry, they'll grow to full size.
(Jordan laughing)
- [Jordan] Regrowing limbs,
crash test participants
and suspicious hospital visitors.
Get ready to laugh and learn
because today we are back at it
breaking down all of the
wild medical scenes and injuries
from "American Dad."
All right, let's dive right in.
Oh!
(Stan groaning)
(bear growls)
- Uh-oh.
- What the hell are you doing?
(Stan groaning)
- Come on.
(bear growls)
Things we worry about here.
Cold water.
So, you know,
if you fall into cold water
you can have a cold water reflex
where you start hyperventilating,
and then you can actually
get water into your lungs, as well.
You can drown that way.
(Stan screams)
Oh my gosh.
Holy cow.
Took four tranquilizer darts.
In the emergency department
sometimes we use something similar,
we're not tranquilizing anybody,
but if there's somebody who's agitated
and causing harm
to other people, themselves,
we have medications that we can give.
IM, which means intermuscular,
and they will get more sedate or calm.
- Ew!
- Wow!
- Stan!
- Stan! Holy cow!
So the deep lacerations to your face,
and it's an animal, right?
So we get into the situation
where these are dirty wounds,
even if you wash 'em out really well
there's a high chance that they can get infected.
He's missing his right leg.
It looks like it's an above the knee amputation,
because it's got one bone,
so it'd be like your femur.
Obviously this is something
where you would actually
try to tourniquet the leg
because of major blood vessel bleeding.
- Roger, take me to a hospital.
I'm bleeding to death!
- Which is exactly why
we don't have time to argue.
- Bandages on both legs,
which are good.
And then you see the belts there on each leg
which are being used as tourniquets, obviously.
A tourniquet, basically,
you're using a device that
can spin and tighten that way
and then lock into place.
Using a belt and just having one force
to be able to strap it down,
it might not be as tight
as you can potentially get it.
- Roger.
- It's okay, Stan.
(Jordan laughs)
- He's in a wheelbarrow.
- I think I know exactly
where to find my fanny pack.
- Wait, why?
This is not a hospital.
They bandaged up the legs.
Definitely need to bandage up the arms, as well.
You know, there are blood vessels there
that you can actually continue to ooze out of,
and collectively
you don't wanna lose too much blood.
- I feel better.
A lot better.
I feel like-
(Stan screams)
- Don't worry, they'll grow to full size.
(Jordan laughing)
- So that would be really cool
if you can grow your own legs back again.
You know the technology that we have
for people who have lost limbs
and the prosthetics
that we are developing,
super cool,
and being able to connect them
to our own neural network, amazing.
Could they actually come up with this
using your own tissue?
That would be awesome!
But not that I've seen
in modern medicine currently.
- Now I need to earn $300
for my friend's calves.
- It's not for drugs?
Usually it's for drugs.
- Well, if friendship is a drug-
(Steve screams)
- Oh, is he like a crash test dummy?
- You said $20.
- Oh my gosh.
I'm looking at impact,
he's got a lot of abrasions
and lacerations to the face
which is most likely caused by the glass.
We look for damage to the car itself
to give us an idea.
If there's spidering of the windshield,
so in the sense of
could you have hit it
and it spiders out.
If the steering wheel itself was bent or broken,
you know, that could be a trauma force.
So we wanna see what the underlying trauma is
or the destruction of the car on the inside
to see what actually happened to this individual.
- Apply to area.
- What?
- Okay.
And how soon till it takes effect?
Ha ha ha!
It burns! It burns!
- Dr. Slippy,
your penis-burning cream works.
- What the heck?
He's not there to take care of his injuries.
This is something else,
he volunteered for something else.
Who wants a penis-burning cream?
There are creams out there
relating to premature ejaculation
where it almost numbs the penis,
but I don't know why that there would be
something called a "penis-burning cream."
- So then I said,
"What the hell? I'm on vacation.
And I had a second tic tac."
- You can totally tell.
- Obviously not good for you.
You don't wanna be that skinny.
A lot of hormonal changes that could occur.
You worry about electrolyte abnormalities as well.
And even how many red blood cells you're making.
- Eating disorders are no laughing matter,
young lady.
- Young lady?
- No, no, I know in high school,
in the showers with the other girls,
you feel uncomfortable with your body.
- I'm not in high school!
- When was the last time you menstruated?
- I've never menstruated!
- This individual brings up the menstruation
because once somebody
who has normal menstrual periods
then actually drops a lot of body weight and fat,
it doesn't support the normal hormonal function.
- If your father gets this disease,
it's usually the result of a jarring event.
- So, different events in your life
could lead to somebody not wanting to eat,
relating to being embarrassed,
getting a lot of weight,
having a medical condition
to where somebody chooses not to eat.
- I shouldn't be here, Veronica.
- Yeah, but your family
will keep sending you back
until they think you're "getting better."
- So, families always try to help.
They see an individual
that they love and they're suffering,
they don't want you to suffer.
So, of course they're going to try to
kind of push you along to get help.
The individual doesn't want help.
It's very much an uphill battle.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
(Jordan laughs)
Oh, that's horrible!
I was expecting purging or vomiting.
The enamel or the dentition of the individual
will actually start to erode
if somebody vomits multiple times.
You can also have
kind of other secondary findings
related to like hair falling out
and just different imbalances
that you would see.
- To the hospital.
I know my body
and it is attacking my heart.
- But I don't know how-
- Just drive!
(tires screeching)
- [Kid] I'm going backwards!
- Ah!
So, a lot of times we get this
in the emergency department
where people drive themselves to the hospital
for their ailments, right?
That's more common
than somebody taking the ambulance.
Especially if they think
they're having a heart attack.
Immediately when you get to the hospital
we will get an EKG done
to make sure that you're not having a big one.
And then we'll do a blood work,
put you on a cardiac monitor,
give you an aspirin
because that's the first medical problem
that we wanna make sure you're not having.
(car revving)
Made it all the way to the hospital in reverse.
Pretty good.
He's doing what's called "Levine Sign."
Levine Sign is when you actually
have a fist and you put it over your heart.
That is an indication or a sign
that could be that
somebody is having a heart attack.
- It's family only beyond here.
Is this man your father?
- No, he's not.
- But I am...
A man who knew your father.
(Jordan laughs)
- Yes.
You know, families only or close friends.
We try to keep visitors in our hospital
to one to two.
You don't want too many people back there.
It's chaotic, it's dangerous.
There are capacity limitations.
You just can't have
everybody under the sun in there.
- Sorry about my sweaty (beep) hand.
I got hyperhidrosis.
- Feels normal to me.
- I also got hyperglycemia,
hypertension and I'm a hypochondriac.
- So hyperglycemia,
elevated blood sugar.
Typically if you're eating normally
your body would secrete insulin
to keep your blood sugars below 200 per se.
Hypertension,
elevated blood pressure.
Obviously, we know we want to control
our blood pressure.
Prolonged elevated blood pressures
can lead to remodeling of the blood vessels.
And hypochondriac basically meaning like,
I'm worried that I have everything.
- Hey, you think I could dig up
an MRI in this joint
without talking to anyone?
- I don't think so.
Were you gonna talk about my dad?
- So, MRI, magnetic resonance imaging,
basically using magnets to form an image.
Takes a while, it's very loud.
Can't move at all.
And that's the one
where it's like a tube
that people don't like.
- Come on, I'll tell you about your dad.
Fun fact, we were blood brothers.
I gave them hepatitis.
- There are multiple different types
of hepatitis.
There's five that we think of.
And the biggest worry sums
are the bloodborne pathogen ones
which is hepatitis B and C.
We have vaccines against B,
we have therapies for C.
Hepatitis C could actually lead
to hepatocellular carcinoma.
So these are things that you do worry about.
"American Dad," as always,
fun to react to.
Very interesting.
