(dramatic music)
- A secret pen.
- To be entirely honest, I lost count.
(explosion booming) - Oh!
"Mortal Combat" versus "Street Fighter."
Marvel versus DC.
And even "James Bond" versus "John Wick?"
What?
Today we're back at it with round two
of reacting to a breaking down some of the insane injuries
and over-the-top medical scenes
from the highly popular YouTube channel, "Death Battle."
Let's dive right in.
- Drinks are on me.
- I prefer to be alone.
- Unfortunately, I wasn't asking.
(dramatic music)
(gun banging)
- Oh.
Wait a minute.
- Yeah, yeah, I got a question there.
- Where'd the bullet just go?
If that bullet went right in the abdomen,
you'll have some blood stains, obviously.
But it doesn't just hit soft tissue.
It can hit organs, it can hit your intestines, your liver,
your spleen, your aorta, your inferior vena cava.
So all these major structures that are in your abdomen.
(characters grunting)
Oh!
Punching somebody in the face, you're hitting a hard bone.
There typically there's not a lot of tissue there,
so you increase the risk of breaking your own metacarpals.
The bones of the hand here.
(gun banging)
(laughs) That was cool, whatever that was.
It's a fiery flame to the left side of the chest.
Doesn't go through, obviously,
but it has enough power behind it
to knock him on the ground.
He's able to put out the flames
by patting it out, which is fine.
You do increase the risk of burning your hand.
It takes a lot to actually burn the palms of your hand
versus like the dorsal aspect of your hand,
which is the top part.
(characters grunting and yelling)
So we've we got a lot of hand-to-hand combat,
and then like a suplex.
Flipping somebody over top onto their upper back,
maybe onto their neck,
increases the risk of cervical spine injury
as well as a cervical bone fractures.
The secret pen.
No?
- To be entirely honest, I lost count.
(explosion booming)
Oh!
An explosion large enough to pop through the floor
is gonna do a lot more damage to your body.
The most common simple things that could occur
besides burns to your skin, shrapnel.
You could pop your eardrums.
Obviously you'll have to decreased hearing.
And then also you always worry about
any trauma to the lungs.
(dramatic music)
(characters grunting)
Oh, what?
James Bond just took a knife to the left side of the chest.
So it depends how far left and how high on the chest.
If you're low and left,
you're gonna hit potentially the left side of your heart,
the left atrium, or the left ventricle
if it swings over that way.
If you're far enough left and high,
you'll just get hit lung tissue, maybe some blood vessels.
(dramatic music)
Oh.
We got 'em on the right side of the chest.
Which again, unless you have dextrocardia,
where your heart is flipped to the other side,
it's gonna hit your lung tissue.
Even though James Bond took a knife
to the left side of his chest, he's still able to survive.
And if you haven't noticed, he didn't pull it out.
Whoa.
Laser beam watch, I need one of those.
Oh.
John Wick loses.
Having a large object fall on you, yes.
Depending on how high it is,
it can fall with great speed, a lot of weight behind it,
and if it hits you in a certain area,
skull fractures into cranial bleed
can cause compression injuries to your whole body.
(characters grunting and roaring)
If somebody, mere mortals, not this big,
gets hit by a bus, it's quite detrimental.
You'd probably get a CT head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis
with any extremity X-rays that you need
just because it's really hard to know.
Your adrenaline up, you feel fine,
but you don't know where exactly the pain is.
Whoa.
You're slamming through a bus.
All I can think about is like the glass, the metal.
How do you not cut yourself?
The skin must be so strong and resilient.
(Hulk yelling)
Oh, there you go.
Just ripping a car apart.
Super strong.
They're landing on their feet.
We always worry about calcaneal fractures,
which are your heel fractures.
They can snap all the way up.
So if you have any back pain
after jumping and landing from a high surface,
you definitely need to get checked out
to make sure you don't have vertebral column fracture.
- Smash!
(dramatic music)
- Oh!
Hulk uses a compressive force.
Actually kind of a cool move.
Since this guy is so jacked,
maybe his eardrums are jacked too.
(characters yelling and heavy rock music)
Oh!
Hulk steps right on the forearm.
We see some blood go flying.
You can have an open fracture.
You fracture a bone and it actually pops through the skin
and it makes its way back in.
It's a dirty wound now.
You've really gotta clean it out.
You gotta put somebody on antibiotics,
and then you talk to an orthopedic surgeon about it.
(characters grunting)
Whoa, just stabbed right in the leg.
Lateral aspect of your thigh
has something called your IT band.
The muscle that attaches to a lateral aspect of your knee
all the way up.
(characters grunting and heavy rock music)
Oh no, Hulk, you're going down.
(Hulk thudding)
Look at the anatomy.
We got some good vertebrae in the neck.
Obviously there's no spinal cord.
And it looks like the trachea coming down
and then it branches the lungs.
Oh!
(characters grunting)
A lot of like soft tissue injury, bruising, ecchymosis,
hematomas that could occur.
These are all funky fun words that we get to use
to document blood leaking out of our tissues
in different ways and swelling of the tissue.
These guys have lots of muscle, so that also means
lots of blood flow, which means they can bruise pretty well
but they can probably also withstand a lot of trauma.
Oh, oh, there's the hammer.
Bringing down the hammer.
♪ Pick up the hammer ♪
- I see occasional hammer injuries
that come to the emergency department,
either on the work site or just using it as a weapon.
Usually causes blunt trauma, probably some more lacerations.
(characters grunting and yelling)
Oh!
Broken hip, broken ribs.
You get hit on the ribs on the lateral side,
you worry about your lung,
but you also worry about the spleen that's on that side
that can rupture and bleed into the abdomen.
And when there's blood free in your abdomen,
it actually hurts a lot.
Actually hits those other organs and kind of irritates them.
- Is that your best?
Weak, pathetic-
- I mean, the graphics are good.
Oh!
Uppercut to the chin could definitely break some teeth,
fracture your jaw.
And it's also definitely going to jar you
to make you feel kind of woozy and dizzy.
(characters grunting)
(bones crunching)
Oh, the noise.
I worry about fractures not only of the neck
from that hyper, hyper, hyper, hyper, hyper-
♪ Hyper hyper ♪
- Extension going backwards.
You have dislocation of the vertebrae
then you can have dislocation of the shoulders themselves
coming outta socket.
(characters yelling)
- Oh, cool imagery.
- Yeah.
- We actually see a skull fracture,
which looks like a blood vessel,
but I'm assuming that is a depiction of a fracture.
- Feel the wrath of Shao Kahn.
(dramatic music)
(hammer thudding)
- Big, huge, not blunted object.
There's a spike at the top of that hammer.
Straight through into the frontal lobe.
(heavy rock music)
Whoa.
I mean, it shouldn't be anything
for Flash just to get outta the way.
Flash is super fast, so it's really interesting.
You're going that fast,
it's actually really tough to breathe, right?
You know, put your head out of a window,
and when you're going faster in a convertible,
it's like, (gasps) can't breathe.
So I wonder if he's got that ability as well.
- Excuse me sir, I'm in need of your services.
- (gasps) What? Holy cow.
Just took off all extremities,
and now you're seeing the ribcage and the skin
just melting away.
What?
Major, major, major road rash.
We see people come into the emergency apartment
after car accidents, motorcycle accidents,
and they slide on the road
and they just like rip away tissue.
And sometimes you need a skin graft.
It may not heal if it's too deep.
Oh man, I knew that was gonna happen,
where just all the tissue is gone.
We just see the skeleton bleeding.
Good depiction of it.
If it's just your soft tissue,
it's just gonna cause a lot of pain, some blood loss.
It could actually be repaired.
It was a lot of fun.
This was so entertaining.
