- Wow!
Oh my gosh!
(upbeat music)
I've reacted to medical scenes from Family Guy
the Simpsons, and some video games on Gamology.
And I've been getting an overwhelming response from you guys
wanting me to react to more TV shows.
That's why today I'm reacting to some, very
over the top, medical situations that occurred
on the highly popular show, Untold Stories of the ER.
Not sure what that show is?
Well Untold Stories of the ER is a fast paced medical series
that blends reenactments of real emergency room cases
with comments by the actual physicians and nurses involved
in the procedures.
I hear that patients even give their first person
accounts as well of the situation and some even
play themselves during the reenactments.
Although I've never seen these clips, I've been
told it's going to be really dramatic.
Hey, maybe it'll give you a small taste of what I see
in the ER each and every day.
But before we get into it, my name is
Dr.Jordan Wagner.
I'm an ER doc that deals with every medical situation
you could think of.
Gunshot wounds, COVID, broken hips, firework mishaps.
I created this channel to answer the medical questions
that I get from people every single day.

All right, ready to watch some dramatic medical clips?
Let's react to Untold Stories of the ER.
Okay.
- We'll need a cat scan to figure
out what's going on
- As the lone physician in the ER
- Hold on here.
First thing, multiple broken ribs.
That chest x-ray looked pretty normal.
Just saying.
- Bows has just intubated a man crushed by a cow
that defecated on him.
- What! No way. We do see crazy things
like that, where a man was crushed
but then the cow deprecated on them.
Just brush it away. Put some gloves on, get to work.
- What's that horrible stench?
- Wow!
Oh my gosh!
Okay, this is very common.
This woman has a stiletto shoe stuck in the side
of her face, but it can puncture right through tissue.
I've seen people with scissors thrown at them
punctured into the skin, many different things can happen
but this lady appears to be intoxicated.
- Let's get you taken care of first.
- What.
- That's quite an injury you have there.
- Definitely need to stabilize that before you come in, but
in somebody who was intoxicated, trying to
convince them to do anything, is pretty difficult.
- She's pretty badly injured and pretty drunk
and I'll need some lidocaine.
- Okay, good. Let's lidocaine it up
and make sure it's it's anesthetized.
so the patient doesn't feel it, but the alcohol also
will actually anesthetize your whole body sort of thing.
So obviously you saw somebody who's got a C collar
on their neck, just been crushed by a cow
and then also have to go to a patient
who's got an impaled object into their face.
You're running around the emergency department,
all different types of injuries all at the same time.
Pretty impressive.
All right. A couple of things to learn from this situation,
don't pull that out until you're
at the emergency department and let a professional
pull it out, just in case it's hit a weird nerve
or vessel this way the professionals are there.
And if you're ever in a pinch,
now you see that you can use a stiletto
as an object to defend yourself in any situation,
in a pinch.
- So I was in a bit of a shock.
Here she is, a baby is coming out of her.
There's the head. And she doesn't even know she's pregnant.
- Okay.
- But I don't have any time for questions right now.
I have a baby to deliver.
- Come on! This actually has happened to me three times.
This has happened to me, where patients come in and said
they didn't know they were pregnant
and a baby is coming out.
- The father came rushing in when he heard the baby crying.
- What the?
- This is a young girl. Patients' parent is there.
Sometimes they just don't tell the truth.
But some people also say that they feel like they
just feel gas when they actually feel a baby kicking inside.
- I don't understand.
But we only did it standing up.
You can't get pregnant like that.
Can you?
- The misunderstanding and the misinformation
about intercourse, you can have sex in any position.
A sperm meets an egg.
Doesn't matter what position you're in. A baby can be made.
The fact that this poor kid thought that a baby
couldn't be made because they had intercourse standing
up. I don't even know what to say to that.
- I had to bite my tongue.
- Oh my gosh.
Even the nurse had to bite her tongue in that situation.
- Who told you that?
- My brother.
- Oh my gosh. Don't take advice
from your older brother in those situations.
- The birds and the bees talk with this kid.
- Oh my gosh.
- And explained that anytime a sperm and an egg get together
you can get pregnant.
- Exactly. The sperm and the egg make a baby.
I hope people watching this understand
please use safe sexual practices.
If you're not ready to have a baby
either abstain from sexual intercourse, use protection
or use birth control and have an open conversation
with your family member that you trust
or your parents and your healthcare provider.
Oh, we got a sheriff in the room.
This happens all the time at the hospital that I work at.
Oh my gosh, what's going on?
All right we got a C collar on.
Okay. That C collar, just so everybody's aware,
C collar basically is to keep your cervical spine intact.
If there's any injury, we need to put the C collar on
in place and get imaging
and make sure that there's no spinal cord injury, fractures
or ligamentous injuries that we sometimes have to check
by an MRI.
- To have this degree of paralysis and sensory deficits,
I would expect to see something.
I want to check one more thing.
- Yeah, what's that?
- Follow my finger down, you're gonna look down, go over.
- Oh my gosh. He tricked him!
So he was doing a neuro assessment
and then he grabbed his junk and he moved everything.
So this guy was totally faking.
Oh now he's pretty pissed off. But I, you know
I've actually seen a lot of people fake seizures
and we definitely have to check different sensory things.
We have to check motor movements all over the place
and sometimes people will fake.
But doctors in general,
do not do that maneuver in the emergency department.
You do not grab patients inappropriately
in the crotch or anywhere
that's not appropriate to another human being.
A lot of commotion okay.
- A group of people come in.
- What's wrong with him?
- What the?
- He can't talk.
- I don't know why this lady smiling?
Happens all the time,
people come into the emergency department
intoxicated all the time.
But this guy definitely looks like he can't breathe.
I know they say he can't talk.
Getting somebody into the trauma room,
It's just a huge room.
Usually always open so you can get somebody in there.
- So what happened?
- We went bobbing for fish, and so that's what he did.
- Bobbing for fish. Ah, okay.
So he's gonna do some numbing spray to the
to the nose and he's doing what's called a fiber optic.
He's using a fiber optic camera down into nose
to see if the airway is swollen
without trying to irritate the area.
What! Holy cow! There's a fish stuck in the airway.
That is amazing but cool! And hopefully it was a real video.
What!
Oh my gosh!
So he's using what's called the McGill Forceps,
which is a specific Forceps so at an angle it will help
get into the airway to pull this fish out. What!
This is crazy.
Sometimes you can actually get the fish to stop moving
with lidocaine.
So he's able to breathe cause it's stuck in his esophagus
but it's sitting next to his airway,
right next to the trachea.
So you got to call the specialist, which is a ear
nose and throat doctor or otolaryngologist.
- What's this about a fish?
- Mouth or large tissue
- Wow
- It's got barbs?
- Wow.
- They're toxic.
- I love it when they say you gotta get him to OR stat.
We to say, you got to get them to the OR let's go.
Let's move.
Okay, now it's back and quiet again. Oh my gosh.
Once, so they were able to get it out without without any
complications. In the operating room they were able
to sedate the patient, control the situation a lot better
where the airway is not spasming
and the patient's not fighting.
And they were able just to pull it out. But this is crazy.
I want to see what the fish looks like. It's still alive!
That's pretty funny. Oh my gosh, those funny surgeons.
Up to the operating room.
Note to self, no bobbing for catfish.
I don't think you should be bobbing for any kind of fish.
All right. Those clips were a little over the top
and I'm not so sure things went
down exactly how they were depicted.
Definitely seem like a little bit of a dramatic show for me.
However, it was super fun and amusing to comment on.
It gives you a small taste of the craziness
I see every day in the ER.
Great job to the creator and the rest of the team
who created the show.
Super entertaining to watch.
