- Today we're going to be breaking down
and reacting to some of the most brutal
and hilarious injuries from Home Alone One and Two.
Before we get into it,
if you're new to my channel, welcome.

Let's dive right in.
(thuds)
(Marv screaming) - Uh oh, here we go.
(thuds and springy bounce) (accelerating yell)
(crashing glass and metal) Oh!
Could you have that apparatus
to where somebody flies through the air?
Yes, a hundred percent.
It all depends, one, the structure of the car
and the height of the fall,
the amount of damage that occurs when you land.
He landed on his back and kind of spread out.
So the issue ends up being, you're really concerned
about spinal injuries here, lacerations,
and obviously, any bony injuries to the extremities as well.
- Merry Christmas.
(suspenseful music) - Go up!
- Whoa!
- Nice, go, go, go.
(dramatic music) - Whoa.
(actors screaming) (crashing wood)
(thud)
- That's like three or four stories.
That is a major trauma.
You need to go to a trauma center, you need to be evaluated.
You're always worried about defensive forces
going all the way through your spine,
all the way up to your neck.
- Whoa! (thud)
- Get off, fool.
- Ah, (Jordan laughing)
(splashing liquids) (paint cans banging)
Oh, that's gotta hurt.
If somebody had this great of a fall.
We're going to do something called a Pan-Scan
in the emergency department,
which ends up being a CT scan of your head,
your neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis with IV contrast,
because you just don't know.
It's a lot of force and a lot of injury.
It's hard to localize exactly early on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
(Jordan chuckling)
(loud thud) (Marv screaming)
You can cause fractures,
you can snap off the spinous processes.
You can cause compressive force to the vertebral bodies.
You could cause injuries other than just bruising,
hematomas, contusions, that sort of thing.
(Marv screaming)
- Uh, oh. (shelves crash)
- Nice, disgusting.
Besides getting trauma, now he's got to deal with
whatever material that was going into his eyes and mouth.
It was probably caustic and not good for you.
If want to sit there and actually wash it out
for a long period of time
because it can cause injuries to the cornea
and then depending on the pH of that material
that's in your eyes, that can cause destruction as well.
Oh no, electrocution, oh!
(buzzing and electrical crackling)
(Jordan laughing) (Marv yelling)
Nice, I love his screams, it's the best.
(high-pitched scream from actor)
It's very interesting,
so a lot of people are like, oh, just let go.
A lot of times you can't let go.
And actually you'll see in real life,
people actually will hit somebody to try
to get them off of it using like a board or something
so they're not actually touching the other individual.
(Marv high-pitched screaming)
Yeah, I don't think this is
truly survivable if really happened.
(Marv yelling)
(Jordan laughing)
Oh, my gosh.
We always get worried about electrical injuries
because it causes cardiac arrhythmias.
It causes tissue necrosis and ischemia
because it's burning the tissue underneath.
So you may not actually see it on the outside
and we'll do different blood tests relating to
a muscle breakdown like rhabdomyolysis muscle breakdown.
Treatment ends up being as long as you're not
in cardiac arrest or any weird arrhythmias,
then it's a lot of fluid, fluid, fluids.
Oh no, this is Harry at it again.
Getting his head burned, you gotta feel that, come on.
(Harry yelling)
No water, he did it again, he did it again.
(frightened panting from actor)
Oh no, oh, my God, the flame's in your face.
Burning tissue, different types of material,
you actually worry about cyanide poisoning actually
because they're a bunch of plastic in that type of hat.
So that's actually something we think about.
When he flipped upside down,
now he's got all these burns going to his face.
(loud explosion)
Come on now.
Explosions from fires and gasoline.
We deal with burns all the time.
Second, third, fourth degree burns.
First degree burn's like a sunburn.
Basically, just redness to the tissue.
Second degree burn, there's superficial versus deep.
If you have third degree burns
you actually I have no more pain
because besides burning away all the capillaries,
you actually burn away all the surface nerve endings.
That head's going to need a skin graft, I guarantee it.
Don't just pull, why does he do this?
I don't understand.
Oh, no, it's a nail gun, right?
Yes, nice.
Oh no, oh no.
Oh, that's how he does it.
I forgot where it gets shot.
(nail gun fires)
Oh!
- Eyow!
- Oh, my gosh, okay, staple guns,
so, the staples are only probably inch and a half.
I actually had a patient come in with staple gun injury
straight through the finger and we had to pull it out.
Sometimes they're difficult to get out
because of the amount of force that put it in.
It's all the way hugged so it's hard to grab to get it out.
And then it's, oh, no,
(nail gun fires) it's going to pull again.
(nail gun fires again)
(laughing) Nice.
Obviously, you can have it going through clothes,
it's going to have to recover for infection,
that sort of thing.
Oh, my gosh.
(sinister laugh from Marv and Harry))
Nice, McAllister.
Boom!
Oh, that's what it is, not an iron.
He took a brick to his head.
That's going to cause a laceration.
You're going to have open skin.
It's going to be a huge amount of blood
at that amount of force and also cause a skull fracture.
And when you get hit in the front of the head,
the brain actually goes back and forth
and it can rip the bridging veins that are in your head
and it can cause a subdural.
So, that's something that you worry about.
So typically we would always get
a CT scan of the person's head.
Oh, don't do it!
(skin sizzling)
Oh! (screams from Harry)
The most common metal for doorknobs are brass,
but then brass can be heated exceptionally high.
It can hold on to heat, so 600, 700 degrees,
think about that, touching that metal and burning your hand.
No, thank you.
Put it in the snow.
(Harry blowing air)
(thud)
- Ow, ow, (skin sizzling) ah.
- Just be really careful.
I seen metal injuries where I work
and people who are stuck in the back of a car
and the heat, the metal of the car
they've had burns to their body, just sitting in there,
like being transported or in the back of a truck.
So be really, really careful with heat and metal.
(skin sizzling)
Wow, oh, he's got the M burned in the hand.
And now he's got, looks like first degree burns right now
but he's probably gonna have second or third degree burns.
But as I said before, if he's having a lot of pain,
it's unlikely, third degree burns,
most likely the second degree burn.
And then treatment for that,
people are like, oh, what do I do?
Really there's nothing to do at that point.
Stop the heat if you can, but the injury's already occurred.
Pain medication and then only once the skin opens up,
do you cover it with ointments, bacitracin,
topical antibiotics, that sort of thing.
Oh, nice.
(gasps) So you would stop right there.
Okay, he does, gotta.
(Marv screams)
Oh, my gosh.
When we actually were out and about,
there are nails randomly everywhere,
especially at the construction sites
so if people are working construction sites
have really thick soled shoes,
but a lot of times people are wearing sneakers
and they actually can puncture through
and puncture the foot so we actually always worry
about a bacteria called pseudomonas,
which can actually be hidden inside the foam of the shoe,
which is not going to hurt anybody
but if you puncture through it and then puncture your skin,
we actually will cover you with an antibiotic
to make sure you don't get that type
of infection into your foot.
I love Home Alone.
