(Lumpy screaming)
(Jordan laughing)
- Giggles, Lumpy, Sniffles, and even Russell.
Today, we are back at it, reacting
to the crazy, over-the-top injuries
of these seemingly cute, little forest creatures
from "Happy Tree Friends."
What kind of trouble
will these little woodland creatures get into?
Let's dive right in.
- (gasps) Oh man, right away!
So we actually call that open fractures.
It actually goes through the skin.
Even if it punctures through and then goes back in,
that actually needs to go to the operating room
and be washed out
by an orthopedic surgeon 'cause of the risk of infection.
(Giggles grunting)
(laughs), They're never ending.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, holy cow!
All the time people fall down the stairs
and it's a wide variety of injuries.
Sometimes there's ecchymosis, contusion, hematomas
or there's fractures, dislocations and bleeding internally.
(gasps) What?
I wasn't even ready for that.
Every show, shows intestines like this strip
of long, skinny sausage-looking stuff.
It's actually attached
by mesentery, a fibrous-type tissue
that actually keeps it all together in a mix.
(mellow music) (birds squawking)
The moose, iceberg ahead!
It's like old-school Titanic,
but at least they're a little more advanced notice here.
Oh, but of course,
they have the blind captain leading the way.
Right, direct hit into it.
Oh my gosh.
(Jordan gasping)
Oh my gosh!
Super cool and interesting and weird all at the same time.
People will ask if you can get something
to get stabbed all the way through
to the other side, do the ears connect?
No, there's a brain in between and lots of bone.
(Toothy shrieking)
Oh, this is a classic example
where Jordan would tell you don't pull it out.
It's into the eye, you've ruptured into the globe.
You wanna stabilize this,
maybe put something around it
so it doesn't move and get to medical care ASAP.
No, oh my gosh, oh!
(Jordan laughing)
The eyes are attached at the ends of what appears
to be your optic nerve.
'Cause you have six muscles of the eye
which would be attached on each eyeball.
(Giggles shrieking)
Oh, my gosh!
Typically, a fall from standing won't cause
that amount of trauma, but it has.
It's kind of gross in the sense
of like they actually are depicting brains coming out.
(dismal music)
What'd they do?
Ah, well at least that's smart.
On the same level of
when I mentioned don't pull something out, take the object
with you to wherever you need to go.
I don't understand why you wouldn't bring the pink bear
to a facility that could actually help.
But at least they did the first step.
Oh. (Giggles sneezing)
Gross.
(machine beeping)
What is this?
What?
Look at this smart, cool technology.
It reminds me of the old-school movie "Inner Space."
(Lumpy sneezing)
Oh no!
This is super cool.
Going in the blood vessel, we got red blood cells,
we got megakaryocytes which are like platelets.
Oh, making a tourniquet, very cool.
Using the fabric, is probably better than the belt.
And then, using a stick
to wind it up is actually a good idea.
The best tourniquets are ones that you can actually buy
that are made to be tourniquets.
Oh no, oh no.
Oh my gosh, it actually looked like an anus.
That's what an anus looks like.
(blood splashing) (solemn flute music)
(Jordan gasping)
He did it so tight that he had his leg fall off.
No, it wouldn't happen that way.
You would decrease blood flow
to that area and potentially cause decreased oxygen
to the tissues and it would actually be very painful.
Now, what is he doing?
Oh, he is looking for him.
Oh my gosh.
The only thing that we kind of put in a body like that,
that I can think
of is something called a capsule endoscopy
where somebody actually swallows a pill
that has a camera in it.
What the heck?
Do not just stab yourself in the abdomen.
I wonder where he is, the stomach?
He's in the stomach.
(gasps) Oh my God, he's expanding in the wrong place.
(Lumpy choking) (suspenseful music)
Oh my gosh.
The moose did his own tracheostomy
where he basically shoved the tube in the trachea
to allow himself to breathe.
(suspenseful music)
Oh!
Oh! (suspenseful music)
It looks like it could be a hyphema, blood
within the anterior chamber of the eye.
When people actually come to the hospital
with this, you actually have them sit up.
- I'm sitting up.
- Because you don't want this blood to get lodged
in any weird canals,
because then you'll actually increase the pressure
of the eye, causing glaucoma.
Oh, it's gonna get bigger!
(Jordan gasping) (suspenseful music)
I mean, at least we got the two hemispheres.
We're always missing the cerebellum.
It has to do with the balance center
of the brain as well as the optic nerve.
(suspenseful music)
(Sniffles shrieking)
Would you actually die
that fast if your body was cut in half?
No, if you don't have anybody there
to cauterize, stop the bleeding, you're gonna bleed out.
And then, as you bleed out, you're going
to pass out with your heart stopping
and no oxygen to the tissues, you're gonna die.
(mellow music)
Oh my gosh, ingenious.
Good job, that's super cool.
Oh my gosh buddy, brought on the PTSD.
(Russell screaming)
(gasps) So what I always tell you, don't pull them out.
You may need to pull them out and risk bleeding out.
There are some situations where there's always an exception
to the rule.
(Lumpy gasping) (quirky music)
I don't know what kind
of amazing cutting rope he just ran into,
but both legs are cut.
(Russell laughing sinisterly)
What is he doing?
(Lumpy retching)
(Lumpy screaming)
(Jordan laughing)
No, that doesn't happen.
All the skin and the soft tissue are gonna stay intact.
It's gonna be really hard to rip through that
by just spinning it.
Oh, don't go to the blind barber.
(mellow music)
Oh my gosh, took off all his skin.
You actually see the striations of the muscles.
That's difference between skeletal muscle and smooth muscle.
(gasps)Just dripping blood.
How does he not see what's happening?
Don't put aftershave on!
(gasps) Gonna burn!
(Lumpy screaming)
Oh my gosh.
Aftershave has alcohol in it, alcohol burns
when you put it in open wounds.
We don't typically clean the inside the wound
with anything outside of water or normal saline.
Sometimes even tap water.
It just actually, has to be under a certain pressure.
(mellow music)
Ooh.
What's happening to his face?
Growing on the eyes, (gasps).
Oh my gosh!
So if you actually have a cut like that
in your eye, it's gonna hurt a lot
because the cornea sits over top of that,
which has a ton of nerves.
So it's gonna cause a lot of discomfort.
Oh my gosh! (Cuddles screaming)
He's got hair in his eyes.
That's gotta be so painful.
Take your time, don't do that, don't do that.
(Cuddles screaming)
Why did they do that?
"Let me just cut everything
and then I'll just cut my eye too."
And now all the aqueous
and the vitreous are just gonna fly out of the eye.
You're not gonna have any fluid in the eye.
The structure in the eye's gonna be gone.
- Gone!
- And then you're not gonna be able to see
and you're gonna get an infection.
Holy cow, "Happy Tree Friends" is so intense,
kind of funny, some, medically accurate.
Obviously, some of the anatomy is a little bit off
and a little bit different.
But it just allows us to talk about some of the things
that are common nature that do happen
at the hospital in the emergency department.
So super interesting, very thought-provoking.
