- (yelling) Oh, no. (laughs)
Vicious wild animals, wilderness, and despots.
What could possibly go wrong?
Today we are reacting to the super-popular
first-person-shooter video game, Far Cry.
How accurate are their healing animations
and other medical scenes and injuries?
We're about to find out. Let's dive right it.
Oh, don't do that.
Oh, he does it again on the other side.
Oh my gosh.
I've always said it a million times;
do not pull an impaled object out
because you can cause more damage.
He's in the middle of the wilderness
and he may have to do that.
You wanna actually get to help
to get the bleeding to stop.
That way you can salvage the rest of the limb.
Oh, he's on fire.
He's patting it out, which is fantastic.
If the blister is not opened,
it's protecting, it's sterile.
It's when those wounds open up,
you want to use an ointment.
- You wanna borrow my ointment?
- Keep the wound clean.
People think to dry it out.
You actually wanna keep it moisturized.
Oh, nice. Perfect.
He was able to use a type of dressing.
It could be a dressing that's impregnated
with an antimicrobial-type substance,
or it could just be to protect the area
so you don't get schmutz and dirt into the area.
(yelling) Oh, no. (laughs)
The way that it's hanging there,
it's definitely double-boned.
That means the radius as well as the ulna are fractured.
He resets it, which we actually do
in the emergency department.
But typically after you reset it,
you need to put a splint on it because it's still floppy.
It's not attached anymore.
Oh, nice.
The way that it's sounding and crunching,
it's probably broken.
Once the joint is out of place,
all the muscles spasm and keep it held
in that bad position.
If you can actually get the muscles to relax,
you can pop it in pretty easily.
(yelling) Oh, ow. No. (laughs)
How do you get a nail in between your tissue here?
Depending on where it is, it's probably fine.
It probably going in between your metacarpals
and it's just a soft-tissue injury.
But you always worry about tetanus,
so you have to make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.
Oh, rebar to the abdomen. Again...
♪ Pull out game, weak ♪
If you hit the intestine, you pull that out,
now you have (beep) flying out in the abdomen.
You become septic.
If it goes untreated for too long, you're gonna die.
Oh, snake bite.
You have to get CroFab if you get bit
by one of these snakes to counteract its effects.
There are multiple different venomous snakes out there.
Just know which ones in the area that you live
to be aware of.
Oh, nice. He's using good bandage.
You always have to worry putting on a bandage.
You wanna make sure it's not too tight
because you can actually decrease blood supply.
Your hand turns purple, white, blue,
and tingly and numb.
If that occurs, take that off and re-wrap it.
What is that?
Oh my gosh.
There's only a few instances where you actually
go after the bullet and take it out.
Most of the time you just leave it in.
The risk of causing damage to the tissue is greater
than in that moment of potential poisoning.
Oh, man.
Maybe the bullet's causing pain.
If it is that superficial, you can take the bullet out.
You're using dirty things to get it out,
so you have to worry about wound infection.
Bullet wounds themselves, because they're so high-pressure
and so much heat, most likely not going
to cause an infection.
(cinematic music)
Falling. Oh my gosh.
Here, he's got a floppy wrist.
Potentially fractured the distal ulna, distal radius.
If it goes into the joint, you always run the risk
of having chronic arthritis, so really need to be careful.
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh.
You have to worry about the different microbes
that are actually in the ocean water.
At least get it cleaned out and then watch it,
and then if you start seeing erythema or redness
to the wound starting to creep up,
get to the hospital.
You probably need certain different types of antibiotics.
Oh, (laughs) wow.
The hand itself is so vascularized.
There's a lot of special nerves in there.
Can cause a lot of damage.
You just have to be really careful
'cause once you injure these type of distal nerves,
you're probably not gonna get them back
because they're so small and you can't really fix them.
They're just tiny little string.
He is just so shot-up that he's just taking out
all the bullets that he can get.
Nice.
Bullets don't just hit the tissue and typically stop.
Usually they go through the tissue
and cause damage on the routes that they take.
A lot of times, we see bullets
that just go through and through.
Nice; when in doubt, throw a good wound dressing on there.
Sometimes we use a dressing like this
that might be impregnated with an antibiotic ointment,
so to speak.
(cinematic music)
Oh, (laughs) no.
Will that hurt like a son of a (beep)? Yes.
Can you actually do that? Yeah, you can.
In the hospital, we do something similar.
We have Bovie knife that heats up
so it can actually cauterize small blood vessels.
Oh, you know what gets me with these?
It's the sound.
It doesn't make that kind of noise.
Is he using his own teeth to pull that out?
Oh my gosh.
Every time.
Every time he fixes himself, he's like...
You don't wanna move it.
It's gonna hurt like hell.
Uh-oh, driving a truck, or an SUV.
Oh, he's popping pills.
It could be related to ibuprofen,
could be antibiotics, could be pain medications.
Oh yes, the famous good duct tape.
You can use duct tape for anything;
covers wounds, you can take out splinters with it.
You can even treat plantar warts
because it takes a little bit of the skin off every time.
You put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off.
What happened?
Oh, man. Oh.
That is gnarly.
Are you gonna bleed out and die from your hand?
Probably not.
This situation, probably just fine to pull it out,
but you definitely need to do a pressure dressing
to that area.
(laughs)
The cigar's probably just hanging out in his mouth
because he's walking around, holding his pistol
with two hands.
You're giving up your position by having smoke around you.
But at least you're able to use it
to then cauterize your wound.
Oh, nice.
In a lot of these depictions,
you don't have the amount of swelling
that you would have, even instantaneously.
It's good that he's actually re-locating them quickly
because the more swelling that you actually end up having,
it's harder to get it back in the joint.
Oh, the fingers.
I have seen so many X-rays where the finger's like,
doop doop, almost 90 degrees.
Very easy to put back in.
Almost like you wanna pop your own joint.
Does it hurt?
Yes, of course, but it feels so much better
once it's back in.
That's pretty cool.
I wonder if he's using the duct tape
as a way to defend himself against the wolves there.
Maybe this way, it protects you a little bit
against a bite.
Obviously, teeth can penetrate through that,
but maybe it gives yourself a little bit more time
to defend yourself.
Ah.
Walking through a swampy area
back in Vietnam and stuff like that,
they always ran the risk of having something
called trench foot, where their socks
and their boots were always wet.
You'll always increase the risk of gangrene,
wound infections, things that won't heal
'cause you have tissue breakdown.
Oh, man, rusty metal.
I bet this guy's had so many vaccinations.
Probably gets a tetanus shot every year.
Oh, straight through.
If you hit into the bone, one,
it's gonna be harder to get out.
And then you really worry about something
called osteomyelitis, which is an infection of the bone.
If somebody gets that, typically it's six
to eight weeks of antibiotics.
Think about that. Super cool.
I really love that Far Cry has integrated
medications and injuries into their game
and it's a part that you can actually adjust and fix.
