(man screaming) - Oh! No! Move! It is officially the 30th anniversary of "Home Alone." It's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's actually one of my first movies that I watched on VHS coming to the United States in 1995. Boy, did I just age myself? I'm watching some of the most painful clips from the two movies. I know some other channels have done this years and years ago. Let's give a huge thank you to them for coming up with the idea, injury reaction time. - I can't seem to find my toothbrush so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that I'm in good shape. Ah! - If you have ever shaved and then put aftershave on, it does burn a bit because there are micro tears of the skin and when the alcohol seeps in there it actually causes burning and stinging. I actually had a horrendous experience like this when I went swimming in the Dead Sea. If you don't know what the Dead Sea is all you need is a picture to see the blocks of salt floating in it and I actually shaved my face before going and I actually think my body because I wanted to get an even tan. When I went into the Dead Sea and I had those little micro tears from shaving, oh my God my body caught on fire. So, I know what he feels like. (light music) (wood cracking) Oh, oh! - Whoa! (shelf crashing) - Oh! This is such a typical pediatric injury. Ankle sprains could be quite common here, knee sprains, and also because the shelves actually fractured and broke like that, those wooden sharp edges can give you a serious, serious laceration. - Got some nice presents for ya. - Be a good little fellow now and open the door. (gun firing) (Harry screeching) - I'm assuming based on his reaction it hit him in the testicular area and it had to hurt. There's a lot of nerve endings there and it's also quite dangerous because there's a lot of blood flow there. So, if you rupture some of those blood vessels you actually get expansion and swelling. It could actually lead to a condition known as testicular torsion where the spermatic cord that leads to the testicle actually kind of spins on itself and cuts off the circulation to the testicle which leads to a lot more pain and even the testicle dying if it's not treated surgically in time. (whimsical music) (foot squeaking) (Harry hollering) (body thudding) Oh! (Harry squeaking) The reason he's probably doing the (squeaking) is he had the wind knocked out of him. Imagine landing so hard that it actually expels all the air out and you're not able to normally take a breath in because remember, in order to take a deep breath in, your body has to create negative pressure in order to suck the air in. And if you can't expand your ribs 'cause they just got hit and there days you can't create the negative pressure needed to take a deep breath. (chain rattling) (iron scraping) Oh no. (cord whipping) (iron thudding) Oh! That fell right on his face. You could easily fracture your orbit which is the bone surrounding your eye. Like imagine if it hit him dead on into the eye, you could lose the eye completely. But, what I don't understand here is how it hit him so perfectly on the forehead, but then didn't break his nose. (suspenseful music) (skin singing) (Harry screaming) (Harry blowing) (Harry screaming) (body thudding) - Ow! (Harry yelling) (skin hissing) - Immediately after getting a burn you don't wanna necessarily go and put it into something icy because that can actually exacerbate the burn and make it feel worse. So, you wanna run your burn under room temperature if anything. The danger of receiving a burn, especially on the hand, is when burns heal they often form scar tissue that form contractures which actually lead the hand to be in a flexed position. And when it's in a flexed position like this it makes it very difficult for it to be usable. So, a lot of occupational therapy, physical therapy, needs to be done in order to return the hand to normal. Also important to remember that there's multiple types of burns from heat, meaning thermal burns, electric burns, chemical burns, there's even ice burns. Like if you hold dry ice onto your hand, that's like minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit or whatever it is, you can burn your hand with the ice. That's why when we recommend icing your knee or your shoulder or something, we always say put it over a piece of fabric so it's not directly on your skin 'cause then you can actually cause yourself frostbite. Frostbite is essentially a burn. (feet squishing) Oh no! (Marv yelling) (body thudding) Not only did he have a puncture wound from a nail in his foot, he fell from like the eighth step. If you ever are to get like a nail in your foot, while it's important to get it out after a period of time, you don't wanna rush to do it yourself in case that it's hitting an artery and actually putting pressure on that artery and preventing you from bleeding out. 'Cause it's very possible, okay, you pull it out and now you just have a ton of blood coming out. And if you're not in a medical setting to address that that is a problem and make sure your tetanus is up to date. (blowtorch blazing) (Harry yelling) Oh! No! Move! Oh, that's a full thickness third degree burn. The way that we do it in the medical setting to decide how severe someone's burns are, outside of the first, second, and third degree, we also give a percentage of the total body surface area that has been burned. And we use the rule of nines and we decide what percentage is burned, how we should adjust, and we think about fluid replacement. If a large percentage of the body surface area has been burned, that cripples a person's ability to keep their fluids. And they actually become dehydrated and need fluids with electrolytes repleted quickly. Otherwise they can go into hypovolemic shock. Their kidneys can shut down and they could die as a result of this dehydration. (whimsical music) - Heads up! - Huh? (can thudding) Ah! (body thudding) - A lot of people don't realize, when you fall on your back, you really don't support your head well so your head ends up hitting afterwards. Your brain actually suffers trauma onto the side that you got hit as well as the other side of the brain. It's actually called a countercoup type of injury where the brain slides to the back, hits the back of the skull, but then because you landed and you shake, it actually hits the front of the skull as well so you have injury on both sides of the brain. - Don't move. - Marv, what are you doing? Marv. (crowbar thudding) Ah geez! - Oh my God. Not only can you fracture ribs in the sternum, if you hit like the point of maximum impulse from the heart and you hit it right at the wrong time, in the middle of its beat, you can actually stop the heart from beating. This is like a known phenomenon in little league baseball. If you hit a grounder and it hits the child in the chest right at that moment, it could actually stop the heart. And that's why there's mandated defibrillators that need to be present at little league games because of this. (suspenseful music) (woman gasps) - Well, hello. (fist thudding) (Marv grunting) - He did it. - Did what? (fist thudding) (Harry grunting) - She's a strong punch for a one-punch knockout. It's easy, easy to break a facial bone here. Easy, easy to get a concussion here. I feel like this is what Logan Paul versus Floyd Mayweather's gonna look like. (horns blaring) (electricity buzzing) (Marv yelling) When you get electrocuted through an alternating current, it's actually really difficult to let go of whatever object is causing electrocution and you can start developing muscle spasms, cramps, shaking, arrhythmias of your heart, seizures. All these things start going because your body has a natural electrical gradient. The way that your heart beats, the way that your brain fires, once that is interrupted by this extraneous bit of electricity it's incredibly painful and damaging to your body. - I'm coming Harry! - Marv! (Harry yelling) - No. (body thudding) No. We actually have criteria that we follow of when we should be cat scanning folks head when they come in from a trauma and part of that criteria is knowing the mechanism of injury. Falling 40 feet from the air onto a metal car and having it shatter like this is the definition of needing a cat scan. (brick whirling) (brick thudding) Brick from the fourth story, whatever that is, to the head. You're not getting up from that. If it hits on an angle especially, that's death. First of all, good aim, but that's death. (brick whirling) (brick thudding) (Harry yelling) Oh my God. The second concussion is always worse than the first. When you get your first concussion, your brain gets shaken up. There's inflammatory cells. Your brain is very susceptible to getting permanently injured. So, right here, the fact that he got one concussion and then got hit with another brick, he's getting six months of headaches, six months of light sensitivity, if not dying immediately, like I don't know what's happening. (brick whirling) (Marv yelling) (brick thudding) Oh my God! Oh my God. (nail shooting) (Marv yelling) (nail shooting) There's so much wrong with that. He got shot in the groin with a nail. That's gonna need a urologist. Like that's gonna need urgent surgery. You need to see if any structures were damaged. You need to put it back together. In the face? There's nerves in the face. You can disrupt nerves. You can lose sensation in the face. (whimsical music) (Harry laughing) (hands squishing) (harry yelling) (body thudding) Okay. Like when you hear about people who survive skydiving accidents or falls, it's almost usually because something broke their fall or they fell onto a hill where it was like an angle and their momentum carried them and they didn't just come to a complete stop. My man here came to a complete stop. Why is that dangerous? 'Cause your body comes to a complete stop, but the force doesn't. So, the force goes right through everything. All of the organs smash against themselves, the bones break 'cause they're hitting. Uh. - Harry! I've reached the top. (Marv yelling) (body thudding) Okay, two bricks in the face from the roof. - Three, three. - Three bricks from the roof. Maybe he got lucky. Two-story fall onto the face, death. Like you're not surviving this. Like there's no human that's arriving this. He's bleeding out internally. Just everything in his body should be broken at this point. (bones cracking) Yeah, no. - Ah. - No. I know this is a movie, but I'm trying to critique the medical accuracy nonetheless. Speaking of medical accuracy, here's me pranking some of my close doctor friends. Or, if you need a good laugh, here's me reviewing some of the S and L commercials that they had. Medical commercials, medical advertisements, 'cause we do that here in the states. As always stay happy and healthy. (light music)
