(speargun fires)
- Oh, sick!
(high pitch beep)
Outer space uh-ohs, outrageous alien injuries,
and freaking laser beams.
- Freaking laser beams!
- Today, we are reacting to all
of the medical scenes and wild injuries
from the survival horror video game,
Dead Space 2.
Let's dive right in.
(high pitched beep)
(blood splattering) (Issac gargling)
Oh! Anything in the mouth bleeds a ton.
If somebody's tongue is cut off
and it's bleeding everywhere,
you need a specialist,
like a oral maxillofacial surgeon
or a plastic surgeon,
to be able to help.
If your tooth comes or falls out, you bleed a ton.
You have your major blood vessels
running next to your neck here,
but on the inside of your mouth
it can actually get lacerates behind your tonsils.
Super dangerous, if something gets punctured back there,
so it can bleed a ton as well.
(monster shrieks) (blood splattering)
- Oh!
Holy cow!
The amount of strength that it would take
to not only impale,
but then to rip a body in half
is beyond what I can comprehend for a human being.
Usually, it's a mechanical issue or gravity issue.
They get ripped in half
because of a car accident
but not from Necromorphs
that are just ripping you apart.
(Necromorph screams)
Holy cow!
Like.
Run!
- Run!
- So, I know in the first game
to kill the Necromorphs,
you've got to chop off like the limbs,
so I'm assuming that's similar in this game,
but with cooler weapons
'cause they're bigger.
So you gotta use bigger weapons.
- We're gonna need a bigger boat.
(monster screaming)
- You know, it's really cool
the suit that they're wearing.
The light is basically on the vertebrae in the back.
Not sure if it's connected to it or not
but it just looks pretty impressive.
(monster screams)
Getting shot up in their legs.
Literally, we see people come
to the emergency department
where they have lacerations
or crush injuries to their legs.
The biggest thing that we worry about is the blood vessels.
If they're bleeding,
that's your first thing to try to fix.
Sometimes if it's uncontrolled bleeding
in the pre-hospital setting,
somebody will actually put on a tourniquet.
Oh no, the eyeball!
I remember seeing the eyeball scene in the first one.
What?
This is actually correct.
There's a specific type of lid retractor
your eyelids to keep 'em open.
It's really hard to keep your eye from moving.
A lot of times when somebody's having eye surgery,
you'll have anxiolytic like Ativan
or Xanax,
or Valium
to basically calm you down
and try not to move the eye.
Oh!
Come on!
- Come on!
- So, you have the bone on the backside
of the eye itself.
That's where your blood vessels
and your muscles
and your optic nerve everything kind of rolls through
in that area.
It is darker blood,
which is most likely venous blood.
So, we look at our arms
and we see like the blue veins, right?
It's not blue.
The darker blood is more deoxygenated blood.
(speargun fires)
Oh, sick!
What?
Whoa!
We got like a spear gun.
- Where's my spear gun?
- Going up through the left upper shoulder area
through the chest.
You hit the shoulder, there's bone, right?
If you hit the left upper chest,
you worry about the lung
and you actually worry about major blood vessels
coming off of your aorta.
So, your subclavian artery
right underneath your rib here,
sometimes will actually go into those
for a central line.
So, you are at risk
of puncturing a major artery right there.
Oh!
What are these things?
Those are nasty.
Got shot in the neck.
You're just above the manubrium,
basically where your clavicles are.
You're worried about trachea, esophagus.
You're worried about major blood vessels.
You're worried about the spine
straight through the back.
If you're just sever the spine
through one shot like that,
there's no connection from the brain
down to the body.
(Dr. Jordan gasps)
Use some spaced weapon
that just took off the head.
Really hard to do.
The neck is very vulnerable
because of all the major structures
that are there.
But also it gives us the advantage
of being able
to rotate and move around easily.
Surgery.
- I'll cut you out of there.
Is that a tissue laser?
A plasma cutter?
- Surgical tissue incision in progress.
So, plasma cutter.
I don't have these in the emergency department.
We just use scissors and knives.
Sometimes we have cauterization,
but only in sophisticated operating rooms
that they have.
Really cool high-tech stuff
that I'm not privy to at the moment.
(Necromorph screaming)
Oh, there's a Necromorph,
turn the lasers on the Necromorph.
- Help!
- I'm trying.
- [Patient] Help!
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
- Oh, man!
I don't think he's alive anymore.
- He's dead, John.
- Multiple puncture wounds
to the lungs, the heart, maybe the abdomen,
you're not gonna die right away
unless you bleed out
or the heart's just totally trashed.
If you rupture through one of the ventricles,
you can bleed out pretty fast.
But if there is a hole,
then you actually you potentially fix it.
Grab a staple gun,
staple it shut
or grab big suture material
and just sew that bed boy is shut as fast as you can.
- See her.
- It's Issac.
(record scratches)
- What is this?
We got...
Looks like an ice pick
with maybe an eyeball on the end of it.
Looks weird.
(Dr. Jordan gasps)
What?
He's taking an ice pick
or whatever of this screwdriver
to the side of the head.
The bone is probably a couple millimeters thick there
maybe a little bit more.
You got the soft tissue.
So, could that actually happen?
Yes, if you have enough force
and there was a lot of force with that.
Straight into the brain there,
you're worried about your temporal lobe
as well as your parietal lobes
which is different parts of the brain.
(airy rumbling)
Uh-oh.
Oh. (laughs)
Flying through space
and just smack into something.
What we do for a living as emergency medicine doctors
and trauma docs is bad car accidents
where people literally hit a solid object.
You can have something as simple
as just a muscle muscle strains
versus decapitations
or crush injuries.
The lacerations that we see,
the tissue just pops open
and explodes due to the pressure.
If you're just out there
and you're exposed
to the environment of space,
you have all these things you need to worry about
and it can mess with your breathing, your lungs
bad things happen
and it's not sustainable with life.
(monster screaming) (blood splattering)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
That is the fastest evolution I've seen
of a Necromorph.
Puncture wound straight through the forehead,
right into the frontal cortex.
And now we have maybe implanted some infection
or genetic mutation.
Do we have a pathogen that works that fast?
Not crazy that fast.
It needs to get past our defense systems first,
our natural immune system,
ours versus like the split seconds.
Cool.
- Awesome!
- Cool!
- All the muscle of the neck.
So, the outer layer just under your skin
is called your platysmas,
but then underneath that you have your scalene,
you have your sternocleidomastoid.
You have a lot of different structures
just hanging right there anteriorly.
Obviously, you have different muscles
on the backside of your neck,
but really cool.
- Make us whole. (whispers)
- Whoa, we got a syringe filled with something.
It looks white.
A white liquid that we typically use
in the emergency department ends up being propofol.
Propofol is something that we use for sedation.
That is one long needle.
The only time I ever use needles that long
is for a central line, which is a big major IV
in one of your major blood vessels
or like a spinal needle.
Those things can be really long too,
but they're typically pretty skinny.
Oh, wow!
That even just hurts my eye.
That is straight into the brain.
Can you actually survive that?
Yeah, maybe.
I've seen people
and have seen images
of nails to the head
where it hits specific area
and didn't hit any major structures.
Same thing here.
You're gonna lose your eye.
Is it sustainable with life?
Maybe.
But then whatever's injected in,
that's in your brain.
This was intense.
Similar premise to the first one,
but much more intense graphics.
Really cool.
I like the suits.
I really enjoyed it.
