- Oh!
(upbeat music)
A few weeks back,
I reacted to Happy Tree Friends medical scenes,
and got bombarded with requests to do a part two.
That's why today we're wasting no time,
and breaking down and learning about all the injuries
and craziness that this show has to offer.
But before we get into it,
if you are new to my channel,
welcome, my name is Dr. Jordan Wagner.
I'm an ER doctor.
If you enjoy the educational reaction videos
and other stuff you see here on this channel,
please smash that subscribe button
and turn your bell notifications on.
That way you learn when I post a new video.
All right, let's dive right in.
Oh, geez.
Oh, I hate when that happens.
(Giggles gasps)
(Car crashes into signs)
What the?
Oh!
What?
If that actually does happen, right?
The major blood vessel that's coming down
is your aorta in the abdomen.
And if that just gets opened up,
you can't stop it from bleeding.
You're just going to bleed out in a couple of seconds
and you're gonna die.
Then, of course, you have your spinal cord that's severed,
the bottom half of your body is gone,
No, wait a minute.
Nice, that's so disturbing.
Holy cow, okay.
This is disturbing as you could get.
It looks like a piece of ham.
Could this be survivable?
I guess, if you're able to stop the bleeding,
you're able to survive a little bit longer, obviously.
But then, the question is, "What organs are injured
and is it compatible with life?"
I'm assuming that he's blind too, so he doesn't always...
I don't understand, is he blind, or driving blind?
(playful horn music)
Oh?
(car tires screeching)
How many times has somebody done that?
Just leaking out,
now you got a trail of blood.
You have a trail of fire.
(fire extinguisher wooshing)
Oh my gosh, come on.
It doesn't work that way.
Impaled into the abdomen, come on.
There would be a lot more fire extinguisher injuries
than you've ever heard of.
But typically, you don't,
and it's spraying a powdered mist that's a fire retardant
to get it to stop.
(explosion booms)
Oh, and the car explodes.
(Jordan laughs)
That's messed up.
You see the explosion takes apart the abdomen,
and now you have intestines that are just rolling around.
And so, the intestines look like this, like tube,
but it's attached by all this mesentery.
So it actually is still in a big formed ball
when it's in your abdomen,
it kind of comes out like a little bit of a fan,
versus just these like strings.
Oh.
- Huh?
- Oh.
(Cuddles screams)
That's just mean, what the heck is that?
(Cuddles screaming)
You don't do it with a full cup of hot coffee.
Now, the animal has like either a first,
second, third, or even fourth degree burn.
So, we don't know what degree of burn.
So first degree burn's like a sunburn.
It's just a superficial layer, it turns red.
Second degree burn,
there's two different types.
There's a superficial, versus deep,
but that's when you get the blistering.
Then you have third degree burn,
which basically burns through the capillaries
and the nerves, which will then end up meaning a skin graft.
And then if it's fourth degree burns,
going all the way down into the subcutaneous tissue,
fat and muscles,
pretty bad situation.
- Hello!
(barrel explodes)
- Oh.
Oh!
Oh man, bleeding out of the ears.
So you can have a rupture of your TM,
or your tympanic membrane,
or what we call the eardrum.
You might not have good hearing, as well after,
sometimes you can have a perforated eardrum
and it's fine and heals up well on its own.
Other times, you need a tympanoplasty,
where you actually get a new eardrum from yourself actually.
You can use a piece of fascia
and then put it right on there.
(Jordan laughing)
Oh my gosh.
(Jordan laughing)
Oh, come on.
When you're using your otoscope,
shines light into the ear canal,
the external auditory ear canal.
So, that way you can see the tympanic membrane,
and see if the canal is swollen.
That's pretty much all you're going to see,
you want to make sure that there's
something called the cone of light,
which is a reflection of light off the tympanic membrane
to make sure it's in tact.
Ah, tuning forks.
Nice.
All right, he could hear.
When I was in medical school and in training,
we used tuning forks.
We don't typically use them too much anymore,
but the point of a tuning fork
is to hear if there's bone conduction loss
versus neurosensory loss.
Having to do it, you'd tap it,
you hear the noise,
and then you can actually put it on the bone
to see if you're having conduction.
(birds chirping)
- Oh!
- Ah, he could hear better, nice.
He has just a larger diameter,
so he can take in more of the noise,
so you can pretty much try to amplify it.
Now, you have hearing aids that can amplify your noise.
And then, even then, some people who have no hearing,
you can get cochlear implants.
If you've ever seen somebody with like an electronic device
attached to their head, and they can help them hear.
I love this candy squirrel.
(Nutty laughing gleefully)
Oh.
Oh!
(Nutty's jaw snapping)
Aw!
Aw, man.
I thought it was a broken tooth,
but it is a fractured jaw.
That's crazy.
Typically the only times I see a fractured jaw
is trauma from like getting punched in the face
or car accidents.
And usually, you're broken in two places,
'cause the energy goes in one place,
and it needs to go out the other.
And sometimes, of course,
you get dental injuries as well.
Or sometimes, we get avulsions, where the tooth is gone.
Remember, if your tooth falls out, and it's an adult tooth,
two things that you can do,
is either put it in a glass of milk,
or just put it back in your own mouth.
And typically what we do,
we can just shove it right back in there
and then we'll do a dental splint,
and then get you off to the dentist
to make sure that it stays more permanently.
Oh, yeah.
Pliers.
Yep.
So why the heck do we wire a mouth shut?
It's like a splint or a cast for a broken bone.
You want it to set in one spot,
and not be able to move it in different directions.
And then, they actually give you a set of pliers,
so you can actually break through it,
if you get sick or you need to vomit,
because you won't be able to get the vomit out.
People hate it.
Yeah, look, they're trying to use a screwdriver to open-
Oh my gosh,
this squirrel has a horrible sugar addiction.
So sugar is a type of carbohydrate, right?
Simple carbohydrate.
And our bodies crave it.
So if you have it, you're never satisfied.
You always want more,
and you want more, and you want more.
Oh, no!
A tongue laceration!
Actually, amputation.
Holy cow.
If you have an injury to your tongue where it's bleeding,
it bleeds so much.
Profusely, hard to control the bleeding,
and it's just like, all coming out.
Yep.
It's like a helmet.
Oh my gosh, with a lock.
- That's horrible, I've never seen one of these.
We have this thing called the halo,
which gets screwed into the skull
for somebody who has a cervical fracture.
I've never seen this device for a jaw fracture.
Oh!
(Flippy growling)
What the?
It happens!
(Cuddles screams)
Oh my gosh!
(Giggles screams)
What the?
Your eye has multiple muscles,
and then it's connected in the back by your optic nerve.
So it's probably the optic nerve
that we see hanging out here.
But the skin is gone, you don't see any of that.
The nose is gone.
Holy cow!
What is going on?
The intestines are very stretchy, right?
So the intestines are actually made of muscle,
and muscle stretches.
So it wouldn't rip, typically.
It could, at some point it's going to rip with enough force.
And also, potentially,
wouldn't necessarily strangle you per se,
cause it's so stretchy.
But if you have enough force, it's going to do that.
This is ridiculous, and scary.
(Flaky screams)
Oh my gosh.
- Huh?
- Oh, hiding inside the sleeping bag,
and now he threw it in the fire?
This is a horrible scene!
Oh!
Normally the steering wheel would not do that,
it would typically actually could bend.
A lot of times people will get spidering of the windshield,
if their head hits the windshield.
(animals screaming)
What the?
Bottom half of his body falls off, rips out.
That doesn't happen.
But the anatomy looks so good.
What we see hanging at the end of the clip,
is the stomach.
That's the shape of the stomach.
And it's most likely attached to the esophagus still.
The esophagus attaches to your stomach.
And then from the stomach,
it attaches to your small intestine.
Basically the first part of your small intestines
is your duodenum.
One, okay, we all know this is not realistic.
But could you actually survive
your duodenum being separated from your stomach?
Yes, if you have a surgeon that can put it back together.
Depending on the accident,
a trauma surgeon would need to see,
versus a general surgeon,
versus both being in there.
Typically a trauma surgeon
is also a general surgeon as well.
So this is my second iteration of Happy Tree Friends.
Now it is really a quite disturbing cartoon,
but from an anatomy standpoint,
and from a doctor's standpoint,
it's actually quite entertaining to watch,
as long as you understand what you're getting yourself into.
