How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing top ten video.
Before we get started I want to know, what is your biggest injury?
Stay tuned till the end of the video and I’ll tell you guys what my biggest injury was.
Being able to experience pain is a good thing because it acts as a warning sign and defensive
mechanism.
But for some people, they have a rare condition that leaves them with the inability to feel
physical pain which can be extremely dangerous.
So here are the top 10 people who can’t feel pain.
Starting us off in at number 10 with Ben Whittaker.
This little boy is completely immune to pain.
His parents discovered this when he held a scolding hot item that caused his fingers
to blister but he didn’t show any signs of distress.
He even pulled out one of his teeth without blinking.
When he fractured his heel, he didn’t cry at all and when doctor’s put his ankle in
a cast, he wanted to run and play instantly.
Although Ben doesn’t feel any pain, his condition does put him at risk.
He’ll need to be closely monitored for the rest of his life.
Up next in at number 9 we have Olivia Farnsworth.
She is also known as the bionic girl because she barley sleeps, eats and of course, she
doesn’t feel any pain.
Oliva was actually hit by a car and dragged down the street but she managed to walk away
without even shedding a tear.
She has a condition known as chromosome 6 deletion and although there isn’t a cure,
there are treatment options to help alleviate symptoms.
Ashlyn Blocker comes in at number 8.
She is one of the few people who have been diagnosed with congenital insensitivity to
pain.
She said she can feel pressure but she isn’t able to feel any pain.
Ashlyn even put her hand in boiling water without feeling any sensations of pain.
This is such a rare condition that only about 20 cases have been reported across the world.
Number 7 brings us to Tim Cridland.
He is famously known all across the world for his dangerous demonstrations.
He has pushed large skewers through deep muscle tissue and he does this without showing any
signs of pain.
Oh yeah and he doesn’t bleed and he has extremely rapid healing.
Who is this guy, the real life wolverine?
Steven Pete makes it into number 6.
One time this guy chewed part of his own tongue off and he has broken more bones than he can
count.
He also shattered his arm so badly that he didn’t even realize that it was broken until
he saw the bone protruding out of his skin.
He also suffers from congenital insensitivity to pain but what makes things ever more strange,
is that his brother has the same rare condition as well.
Now in at number 5 is Lettizia Marsili.
When she was only six years old, she tried to climb a pole but she ended up piercing
her chest with a nail.
Instead of screaming in agonizing pain, she pulled the nail out of her flesh without batting
an eye.
She carries a mutation in her gene that causes her to have human pain insensitivity disorder.
This disorder is genetic so they discovered that five of her family members also have
this rare condition.
Isaac Brown makes his way into number 4.
This toddler has no sensation of pain, so when he stuck his hand on the stove, cut himself
on glass or broke his pelvis, he didn’t even shed a tear.
His parents said that they have to keep a constant watch on their active son and they
have to try to teach him to understand when he might have injured himself.
He is also unable to sweat so he has to stay indoors when it is hot or wear cooling vests
when he goes outside.
In at number 3 we have Xiao Chien.
Surprisingly, this man felt no pain when a knife plunged 12 stories and landed directly
into his head.
After he realized that the knife was inserted into his skull, he calmly walked home and
called an ambulance.
Are you kidding me?
I would be freaking out!
Doctors concluded that he didn’t initially feel the pain because the knife damaged the
part of the brain that sends out panic signals.
Dexter Cahill breaks onto this list in at number 2.
He was born with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy IV.
This is a rare disorder which causes him to feel no pain and he is also unable to distinguish
between hot and cold.
While he was at school, he was jumping up and down but all of a sudden, he wasn’t
able to stand up.
It was later revealed that he had broken his shin bone.
The doctors were able to set his bone and put a cast on without using any pain medication.
If that was me, I would be crying like a little baby.
Finally in at our number 1 spot we are talking about Vicki and Paul Waters.
They are the brother and sister who cannot feel any pain.
Actually they used to break their bones in order to get their parent’s attention.
They are able to feel sensations like the wind, temperature and pressure but they have
no idea when they are hurt.
They have broken nearly every bone in their body at least once without feeling any pain
whatsoever.
Vicki has broken her left leg 17 times and her foot is slightly deformed from the constant
reconstructive surgery.
Well there you guys have it…
