- Get your gloves up like this.
See?
- Rabid animals,
sudden onset blindness,
and boxing complications.
What?
Today we are back at it,
reacting to the hilarious
medical scenes from
King of the Hill, Number 4.
Let's dive right.
- Shouldn't you be wearing a mask?
- Mask, smask.
Smask.
Shhhmask.
- He's smoking, and he's got some compressed gas behind him.
I don't know what it is,
but obviously please don't smoke around these things.
It just runs a risk of not necessarily exploding,
but even just having fire.
Not to mention smoking's bad for you.
Of course!
When somebody actually comes into
the emergency department
with a poisoning,
it's very good
to bring the label,
the code, the symbol,
something,
so we can quickly look it up
and then figure out
what the chemical is
that you've been exposed to
and then we can go from there.
- Good. I'm glad you're awake.
Mr. Gribble,
22 years of breathing in toxins
have eroded your sinuses
and coated your lungs with a substance
I can't quite identify.
- Oh, well there you go.
Unless you actually get almost like a lavage wash
of the lungs using a bronch or a bronchoscope,
you won't know exactly what cells are going
on or what might be growing in the lungs.
I don't know how they would diagnose that outside
of biopsy as well.
- The doctor thinks you should quit exterminating.
Your body can't handle any more poisons.
- Can to.
- If you don't quit, you won't live to 50.
Of course, I'm rounding that number up.
- Sometimes we don't know exactly.
We make guesses on prognosis.
What the end outcome is going to be
based on historical information.
But the fact that he ended up in the hospital
is now probably progressed.
So saying, hey, you gotta quit this or
it's gonna take your life.
- Well, that was a waste of time.
Don't tell Nancy what he said.
Oh my gosh.
I do not like when patients take their own IVs out.
It happens all the time
and then there's bleed everywhere.
We need to hold pressure.
Put a bandage there.
So in this case,
don't pull it out!
- I already called her.
She had to stop at home
to get your real IDs.
- That's it.
Hank, you are hereby relieved of your duties as
my emergency person.
- Everybody should have an emergency contact.
The hospital will potentially
just let the individual know
that you're there versus like the medical history.
If somebody comes in unconscious, there are exceptions
to the rule because it's a life threatening event.
- Hank, is something wrong?
You look very strange.
- Well
I guess I'll
have to take your word for it.
I can't see a thing.
I've gone blind.
- Oh, good lord.
- Blind he's gone now.
- So we can't see bilaterally.
So I mean both sides.
- Side to
side
Each eye is
intubated
or has a nerve that's separate from the other.
They cruise back
and they actually cross
at what's called the optic chism.
And they are actually connected
but their fibers are separate
and then they go
to the back of our brains.
- Yeah, I'm really stumped.
Your eyes respond to light.
The retina's in place and there's no sign of a stroke.
Mr. Hill, I know I've asked you this before
but you didn't poke yourself, did you?
- No. I just went blind for no reason.
Why is that so hard for you to understand?
- Complete vision loss is unique.
It shouldn't be related to the brain itself.
A lot of times, visual losses we see
relating to diabetes
sometimes infections, typically it is monocular.
Just one eye that's losing vision.
- What kind of a doctor are you anyway?
Will you do something?
What are all these machines for?
What about that laser right there?
Use that laser on my husband right now.
- All right.
- We get this where people get frustrated.
We're not telling exactly what it is.
We're ruling out 8 million diagnosis and diseases.
And a lot of times, once something has occurred
that it's very scary that you can't reverse it.
- Well, there is a temporary disorder called
hysterical blindness.
Someone can see something so horrific like
say a brutal murder, that sort of thing
that they actually lose their sight.
- Hysterical blindness
is an actually very outdated term
for something called conversion disorder.
Basically, these disorders are neurologic disorders
that our brain makes up.
- Son, I'm gonna show you how to fight
above the belt.
- Fight above the belt.
I mean, is he kicking people in the balls?
What is he doing?
- Bobby, just to warn you
you're probably gonna have to take a couple of shots
before you learn how to protect yourself properly.
Now, get your gloves up like this.
See?
- Oh god.
- Oh
- If you get kicked down there,
it's gonna be extremely painful in your stomach
because the testicles originated
inside the abdomen.
So the nerves are still from the inside
and that's why you feel it down there.
- Oh!
- You
- Oh my gosh
- have been
- Kicked
in the testicles.
- Sometimes people will pass out due to extreme pain.
It happens.
It has to do with the biggest nerve
connected to the heart.
It can actually slow down the heart rhythm
and decrease oxygen to the brain.
- I palpated the left testy and everything checks out.
There's gonna be quite a bit of swelling for a few days.
- Well, what about
the other one?
- Well, we can't find it
right now.
It'll probably make an appearance
when the swelling goes down.
- Sometimes due to pain that testicle can retract.
If there's a big enough defect
it might go high up
into the inguinal canal.
If you can't find a testicle,
please get to the hospital ASAP
and we can do imaging to take a look to find it.
- I want you to quickly cover the hole with the screen.
That's the only way in
and the only way out for the raccoon.
- Careful raccoons.
Raccoons can harbor rabies
a preventable but fatal
virus.
It messes with your nervous system
typically via a bite from a rabid animal.
- What does it say?
Well,
the earliest symptoms of clinical rabies in humans
- Oh, there you go.
Pretty much once your symptoms kick in,
you're near fatal.
Is it rare?
Yes.
But if there's any concern,
talk to your healthcare provider.
I've treated many people with shots for rabies
here in the United States
because of the suspicion of rabies.
- Some sufferers may have a sore throat.
- My throats on fire.
- Cigarettes not only affect your lungs
but it affects your whole system.
So that could be explained why he has a sore throat.
- They may also feel anxious or fearful
of things with no clear reason.
- Ah
Nancy, I think I have rabies.
- Dale, you're gonna be fine.
All we have to do
is get you to a doctor
so they can give you a shot.
- We have immunoglobulin,
which is basically antibodies
that we will give you
as well as a vaccine.
Lots of different shots.
They're in a majority of the hospitals out there
especially here in the United States.
Don't mess with it.
If there's any concern,
worry,
get it done.
- I'm not even sure you walk the walk.
- Well, Cotton, of course I do.
- Then, tell me you wanna walk.
- I, I wanna walk.
- I can't hear you!
- I want to walk!
- She's in rehab.
It hurts.
And our bodies are trying to tell us not to do something.
It depends.
Are you gonna cause more damage
because you haven't healed yet?
These are the questions that you want
to find out first
before pushing yourself.
- Crawl, dammit, crawl.
- Oh, that is, oh my gosh.
- Nineteen Forty-four,
I crawled through a mine field
to retrieve
General MacArthur's corn cow pipe.
That's right,
I'm a hero.
- I love that she's wearing
like an all gray like sweatsuit almost in like boot camp
in the military versus just having a sweet tracksuit.
- I
am not
a coward.
Ugh.
- What are you doing, swatting flies.
- Oh my gosh.
Sometimes people can be a
little too intense when it comes
to these things.
If you break every bone in your body
there's a lot of inflammation,
there's a lot of healing going on,
there's a lot of pain.
But sometimes
you need a little bit of
motivation but you
also need time to heal
in the right manner.
So if you're really not ready, you're not ready.
These clubs are really good.
