- What?
- [Arthur] I'll kill you again in hell, my friend.
(Jordan laughing)
- Whether it's in the wilderness,
or on a covered wagon, or out on a lake,
players can stir up a heck of a lot of trouble
in Red Dead Redemption 2.
That's why today we are reacting
to the medical scenes and injuries
to this super popular video game.
Let's dive right in.
- [Game Character] How about this?
- Oh man, he just fell.
Wait a minute.
Okay, if somebody falls on their feet,
you always worry about calcaneal fractures.
The talus, which sits just above the calcaneus,
and then you have your tibia right there,
which sits on top.
Because of the force, you always worry
if somebody has back pain with these.
- [Game Character] Unbelievable.
(guy screaming) (body thuds)
- If anybody's falling on their coccyx,
now that's the tailbone, ooh.
And then you can cause laceration, fractures.
The higher you fall from,
especially greater than three times your own height,
is a major trauma.
Falling from that height, there's always a chance of death.
(horse neighing)
Oh!
Falling off of a horse.
You're high up, you really have to worry
about actually, the horse falling on you.
The horse weighs so much
that it can cause crush injuries to yourself.
I feel bad for the horse.
The horse is probably injured as well.
(fists thudding)
Oh!
(men grunting)
Oh.
(Jordan laughing)
If you punch somebody in the mouth, you increase the risk
of getting open fractures and open wounds.
Bacteria from our mouths can get into the cuts.
This is an older time period.
Antibiotic use?
Not until later.
- You know, life's a strange thing,
but all in all, okay.
- Oh.
(shotgun cracks)
Oh!
Through the neck,
your major blood vessels run either side.
So you have your carotid arteries and your jugular veins,
you have your trachea, you have your esophagus,
and then on the other side,
you have your spinal cord going.
It wouldn't actually squirt that much per se.
(projectile exploding)
Oh!
(game character screaming)
He's still rowing.
Holy cow.
- [Commentator] Holy cow!
- When somebody actually gets lit on fire like that,
it's taking away your oxygen.
You're inhaling some of the flames.
It actually causes inflammation, which then causes swelling,
which then closes off your airway over time.
This could happen minutes, not specifically seconds,
but it can burn down into your airway.
How is this even possible?
Typically, people who come to the emergency department
are already put out.
You always worry about airway and compromise.
You're looking for soot.
Singed nose hairs, as well as singed eyebrows,
eyelashes, that sort of thing.
- How are you doing?
- Ain't too bad.
- And that's a rifle.
- Oh man!
Slapped in the face and knocked out.
Fell off a moving train.
You're gonna have road rash,
you can fracture or break one of those limbs
that you're trying to brace yourself with.
They say tuck and roll.
You're going the same speed as that train.
He's going to get kicked by the horse.
Oh no!
They're just manhandling, fighting.
- Hey!
- Oh!
I'll say no surviving that fall
unless you land on a bunch of trees
that it's a canopy that looks like a net for you.
You hit your head there.
Maybe it's a good thing
in the sense of like become unconscious
and not realizing you're falling to your death.
Oh!
Talk about stabbed in the back.
It could get to the heart because the heart is center left.
If you're actually close enough to the spine
on the left side and goes through past the ribs,
you might be able to actually puncture the heart.
- You got an annoying kind of face.
- You got a mouth so big you could fall into it.
- Oh!
Wow!
Hitting right into the jugular.
If it hits in there and stays in there,
it actually is probably not causing you to bleed out.
So if that's the case, stabilize it, wrap it,
bandage it in the position that it's at.
Get to somebody that can help you
like a hospital trauma center.
(glass shatters)
(Jordan laughing)
- I love it.
- Gotta be careful of glass.
It easily will lacerate you,
especially if you're trying to clean it up.
Don't do that.
Use a broom versus your own hands.
- Oh my God.
- Oh!
That's a knife to the suprapubic area.
Could impale the bladder if the bladder was full,
could hit the rectum on the other side,
or part of your sigmoid colon.
Oh, he's trying to get up.
That's pretty good.
Wow!
Trying to run away.
Obviously, if you're stabbed somewhere in the body,
if you're in a situation where you gotta get out of there,
you gotta do what you gotta do.
But if it happens and nobody else is around,
don't just take it out.
Leave it, stabilize it, walk slowly,
call an ambulance, get to the hospital.
How did they run into each other?
- [Game Character] God dammit!
- Hit his head and now he's altered.
He might have a brain bleed,
something called a subarachnoid bleed,
a subdural bleed, an epidural bleed.
These are all different types of bleeding
that can occur in your head from a trauma.
- [Game Character] Busy day?
- What, they pay you for 40 winks, huh?
- [Game Character] Well, keep at it.
- You take care now.
Nice gun.
(gunshot cracks)
- Wow.
Sometimes people will be injured
with multiple gunshot wounds and they're okay,
versus sometimes people will actually get one gunshot wound
and they don't make it.
All depends where the hit actually takes place,
and a lot of times caliber of bullet.
- [Game Character] I'll happily pull this trigger.
(gunshots cracking)
- What the?
How much force was on the neck?
You could press down the trachea enough
to cause somebody to stop breathing.
And then the other component is so much force
around the blood vessels of your neck.
You hold on for too long with both of those,
you're gonna cause asphyxiation
and decreased oxygen to the brain.
- [Game Character] This what you want?
You're dead.
(gunshot cracks)
- Oh!
I was all worried that he was gonna get impaled.
We see people who have actually come in
with pieces of fence still impaled into their body,
and we have to take it out.
Most of the time it's soft tissue injuries
if they're still alive.
Just through the tissue, the muscle, the fat,
versus through vital organs and then causes somebody to die.
(gunshots cracking)
(man screaming)
Whoa!
Holy cow.
3rd degree burn.
Eventually the pain will stop
because you're burned through all the nerve endings.
Hopefully you get the burn out.
- [Game Character] You're done.
- What?
- [Game Character] I'll kill you again in hell, my friend.
(Jordan laughs)
- He missed him with a gunshot,
and he got him with a knife.
I mean, cool.
It's a game obviously, but you got these rusty knives
that can cause bacterial infections
and then you're gonna potentially die from an infection
that you don't have treatment for.
- Good God.
Easy. Easy there.
(gunshot cracks)
- Whoa!
He's hit left upper chest near the neck.
Your aorta comes up, and then the arch
kind of comes down and around.
If you hit there, blood's gonna be coming out a lot.
Kind of really accurate and interesting.
It's actually more realistic of what happens in real life.
Obviously, you're gonna try to stop the bleeding.
Hopefully, you have a surgeon on hand
that can basically get in there and fix it for you.
Holy cow, the injuries that we saw today,
you know, they're really good to talk about
and correlate how they are to actually modern day
versus what you would actually do back then,
which is drink some alcohol for a sedative,
get knocked out, do some sort of surgeries,
and basically pray and hope that the oils and the herbs
and the different alcohols
that you potentially could have will help.
