As a Celtic fan, Henrik Larsson's leg break in 1999 is the injury that's seared on my brain. Absolutely horrific. But the fact that he made a full recovery and came back even better than before only added to his legend.

That last one hit close to home. I got hit in the eye playing basketball on a cruise ship and my eye got stratched open. It was incredibly painful to open my eye and any kind of light made it worse. The doctor gave me some kind of eye drops and I eventually recovered with 20/20 vision.
The fact that Erikson is still playing at the highest level of football after what he went through is a testament to the doctors who saved him and his character and strength to fight on.
Sudden heart failure happens so much in soccer it’s terrifying. A german sports show did a documentary on and it was really insightful. They had a doctor on that was one of the people giving courses to the medics for the 2020 Euro and he said they did exactly what they were taught. They also showed how some clubs have started paying much more attention to players heart health in recent years which was really great to see
Sergio Agüero retired at only 30 or so after signing for Barcelona where they found a previously undiscovered heart defect that could have ended in cardiac arrest. It's truly scary that it keeps happening. Glad they found out about Agüero's issue before it became truly tragic, but man it really puts things into perspective. There's been more cases similar to his in later years which obviously is a testament to clubs really taking heart health more seriously and doing more cardiac testing.
It's wild--I see people getting into conspiracy theory stuff about the COVID vaccine and bringing up soccer players having heart failure, when I remember stories talking about the growing awareness of the problem a decade ago.
@@Essex626 in the past several decades the average number of athletes having a heart attack during competition was around 20. In the year 2021 there were over 800.
That Eriksen incident still makes me nervous until today. Watched it live and was just really in shock tbh, the reactions of the teammates standing around him really showed the heaviness of the situation
yeah, as an amateur football player, it is really menacing that this could be happen to someone on the pitch at any given time without warning Especially, because we dont have this kind of first aid team running around all the time
I'm a med student (almost doc in Germany) and I literally cover half my screen with my hand during videos like this, in fear that there will be a clean bone snap or something similar 😅
Christian Eriksen is still a legend here at Man United for me. He's not used as often as Casemiro and other midfielders in the squad currently, but he is certainly there for the club in rough times last year and was a key player to Man United so they could be in the Champions League this year. Big up to him.
Neymar's was painful to watch and the 7-1 defeat against Germany in the next game was even more painful. Neymar was once considered to be someone who could be on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi but the defenders always want to injure him out of frustration instead of stealing the ball from him, the unfortunate circumstance of being one of the best dribblers in the history of the sport.
I'm not even a football fan, but I still clearly remember the incident with Eriksen. The entirety of Denmark were in shock. Like the whole country was holding its breath, to find out if he was gonna be ok. I am so relieved he was able to recover and play for Manchester!

I had an L1 compression fracture as a teenager from a cheerleading accident. While it was probably the least painful out of all my injuries, it was definitely the nost scary. Upon hitting the ground, i could tell something was off. All i could do was lay on the ground while the coach asked if I could feel my legs. I could, so she called my mom and continued practice while I lay there. Then she got mad when I told her my legs started to go numb. I was extremely lucky though. I very narrowly avoided paralysis thanks to the disgusting old mats on the gym floor and the doctors taking a second look at my X-ray. They initially thought it was a tailbone injury since I fell on my butt, but the impact had shot up through my back to my L1. I too this day, about 10 years later, still have a weak back there and struggle with back pain, but I'll take having the back of a 90 year old over having no lower body function.
@@David-qv7no yup! We were practicing a stunt called a shoulder sit (pretty self explanatory: I was supposed to sit on a girl's shoulders,) and I was supposed to be tossed over the girl's head, caught at the waist, and brought down safely.

Fabrice Muamba had a very similar (if not the same) situation as Erickson, in 2012. Bolton (my team) were playing Tottenham in London. He was legally dead for over an hour, a doctor in the stands ran on the pitch and saved his live by starting CPR. He was also nearby the best Heart Hospital in the country. If it had been at Bolton he would have most likely died. He did survive but unfortunately didn’t play again, but it was such a high profile case it caused Defibs to be at a lot more games
Well the physios had started cpr already but this fan was a cardiologist, and his intervention to take him to a further hospital with advanced cardiac treatment likely saved his life
Someone needs to create a tally of how many times he has said both “chest compressions”, and something about concussions to do with the brain being in a fluid and not connected to anything
As much as some of the "grass fairy" stereotype is true (the unnecessary diving, faking injuries, overreacting, etc.), soccer really is an incredibly physical contact sport that doesn't get enough respect in America. Thanks for showing some of the physicality of the sport.
i love how u respect other ppl's countries by saying soccer and football because in my country we say football and when i watch other videos talking about it the always say soccer
Being a professional physiotherapist, I can say that it was an interesting video about some of the injuries that we most successfully rehabilitated and that it showed that it is not only the medical area that understands and can deal with such injuries in the area of soccer/football. Thank you for your reaction, Dr.

As someone who shattered one of my vertebrae in a car accident when I was in 8th grade, I can vouch for how painful breaking your spine is. It still gives me problems to this day.
Christian Eriksen is now playing for Manchester United and he is doing well both in the sport and also with his health. It is like a fairy story. I guess it shows that a quick response to a heart attack means everything
Italian Football has an insanely zealous standard for fitness evaluation. Especially for these types of heart conditions. I remember a couple of players that were stopped in the past for similar reasons, such as Kanu, who himself went to play in England as well.

As a football fan, I feel this barely scratches the surface of horrific injuries. You should check out Rivaldo at the 2002 World Cup after a ball hit him
I think he tries his best not to make stuff to graphic… as he’s a family medicine doctors I’m sure he tries to keep stuff family friendly. And not get demonetized
Another really scary injury was when Fernando Torres fell face first after a blow on his back and "swallowed his tongue" (don't know the actual medical term, but I believe it's a relatively common thing in soccer). He was down for several minutes on the field with no one knowing if he would survive
Dr Mike, please cover this! Theres a widespread myth among footballfans and even players that "swallowing your tongue" is so common that you see players try to "help" by putting their fingers into an unconscious players mouth, completely ignoring the fact that nobody ever in medical or martial arts (where knockouts are extremely common) ever handle these situations in that manor.
Stop spreading misinformation. There's no such thing as swallowing one's tongue, what can happen is that people who fainted and are laying on ground can have their muscles relaxed, that includes their tongue, which falls to the back of their mouth covering it, it's the same thing that causes snoring, it's only something dangerous when they cant breathe through their nose or are not breathing already and need CPR because unlike with apnea that you simply wake up to breathe, fainted people will not wake up, in that case, you reajust their heads and the tongue will fall back, it can also be prevented by placing people that fainted or are having convulsions on their left side.
So heartbreaking for Eriksen, to come back from a cardiac arrest and play soccer, is incredible to me. Oh and by the way, the a Achilles injury is similar to Aaron Rodgers of the Jets, and he’s out for the season.

3:40 - Metal cleats have been banned by FIFA since the lightning incident in Africa killed literally an entire team. Their opponents were wearing plastic cleats and were unharmed.
I agree this needs a part 2, a very severe fracture known on mexican football is of a player called Edgar Andrade, it happened many years ago but it was well known and really painful to watch
Last year, in school football, I was dribbling through players on the other team, but one player found me dribbling well, so he did like Van Dijk defense. When he tackled, he hit me right in the *ANKLE, OR ACHILLES TENDON*, 7:03, but, I'm young and somehow I RECOVERED IN 25 MINUTES, because we were using normal shoes, like cross-country shoes, or something like that.
5:31 I remember watching the game when Eriksen had the cardiac arrest. I've seen it before, I've done chest compressions, I've brought people back and I lost people. But that moment when I realised they were doing chest compressions was shocking because up to that point it wasn't clear whether he had just fainted. They eventually got a ROSC while still on the pitch (fortunately everything was covered by the players) and eventually were able to transfer an already conscious Eriksen to the hospital. Following the ICD-implantation, as seen in this video, Eriksen was not allowed to play in Italy anymore. But he eventually transferred to Manchester United in England, still one of the biggest clubs on the planet despite their recent lack of success, and I'd argue he's one of their most consistently good players. The fact that he managed to get out of this without any lasting damage, the fact that he can play professional sports on a world class level again is nothing short of incredible, and it was only possible because the players and the medical personnel reacted quickly and immediately started chest compressions when they found him unconscious and not breathing. So, people, if you ever end up in a situation where you find someone in cardiac arrest, start chest compressions. The earlier you start, the higher the chance of the person coming back and sustaining no or just little damage. The single most important part - next to getting help - is to start chest compressions because that's what buys you time, and ideally, that's what brings the patient back quickly. If you are on your own, start chest compressions and call for help via loudspeaker on your phone. If you are two people, one of you starts the compressions, the other one calls for help and then looks if there's a defibrillator around + switches with you when you are exhausted (which will happen after just a few minutes, and you should switch every couple of minutes)
While playing as a LB, I was running down the wing defending against the opposition player. I slid in and as soon as my left foot made contact with the ball, I felt a pain on the outside of my foot below the ankle bone. I stood up and immediately fell to my knees as I couldn't put weight on my left. It was an important game so I didn't tell anyone I was injured and was still able to perform at a decent enough standard for us to win the match. Went to the doctor after and they said I tore the ligaments in my ankle
Neymar's was painful to watch and the 7-1 defeat against Germany in the next game was even more painful. He was once considered to be someone who could be on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi but the defenders always want to injure him out of frustration instead of stealing the ball from him, the unfortunate circumstance of being one of the best dribblers in the history of the sport.
I'm brasilian and he deff had the opportunity to be one of the best but I think fame got to his head he wanted to be more of a superstar celebrity more than a superstar footballer.
As a soccer player, I get injured like 100 times every single game and I know how it feels to get injuries like that. It really hurts and it hurts worst as a girl.
I play a lot of football and honestly, tearing my ACL was horrific. Took me a year to recover from through very intense rehab. On top of that I damaged my MCL as well recently and it's taken several months to get back to normal.
The worst injury of a soccer/football player I remember is the one of the german player Marco Reus in a friendly right before the 2014 world cup, which Germany later won. Idk how bad it is, but he partially tore a ligament in his left ankle. After that, he's been injured for quite a few times and for relatively long periods as well. It sucks because he had the potential a world class player if we wasn't so injury prone.
One of the biggest what-ifs in football. He was truly world class, and he could've played for any club in world football until injuries kept him sidelined half of every season it felt.
I was a volleyball player. I’ve seen what happens to a person when hit by a fast ball. It’s crazy how much injury we also get when we bump into other people, especially our own teammates. I’ve only played soccer during PE, but it requires a ton of energy and training! 😅
Oh man, I tore my Achilles a few years ago, and the pain was easily in the top three most painful experiences of my life. Fortunately, it was a partial thickness tear, and it occurred on the end attached to the calf instead of down by the heel, so it was able to heal on its own. Also, if you're doing sports injuries, I suggest hockey. I really want to see your reaction to Clint Malarchuk and Max Pacioretty's injuries.
Holy heck! I didn't expect to see one of my drawings on this video! I drew the Dorsiflexion/Plantar flexion for my job at Mammoth Memory, this was for the sports science section :D I'm glad to see Mammoth Memory is getting some reach!
One of the most common injuries in football is head concusions. Unfortunately not every player have an the idea of how dangerous it could be, and how easy it is to avoid
Yup, anyone who's ever played defender knows how hard your head jerks when stopping full force shots with your head. You have to have seriously strong neck muscles to get used to that long term. I know I couldn't, I'd black out after every stronger hit.
I had a friend and we played American football together. One day during practice all you hear is the sound of a two by four snapping in half. We look at the source of the sound, and there was my friend with his leg doing the hockey pockey and turning itself around. Turns out he broke his femur and the leg had twisted around some where on his way to the ground. He got a rod through his hip and along the femur and was running track again a little while later.
I got a spinal fracture in soccer when i was 16. My mom forced me to get up and go home. I couldn't move for a week and it was horrific pain. I didn't find out until over ten years later when i kept throwing my back out and having pinched nerves and went to get an x ray and that's when i found out how bad my back injury really was.
Literal cuts on the throat made by the skates (a player died by one) hokey disks dodging the helmets, popped legs, ankles...but definetly the cuts are so shocking@@EpicLoneIy
I've been commenting "please do ice hockey next" for the past couple sports related videos ! Since he's currently on a roll I hope he does all sports and it's included 🙈
Just for context at 1:17 neymars injury meant he couldnt play for almost a year and the doctors said if it was a centimeter to the left he would never play football again
Just a minor correction about Eriksen not being able to continue playing for Inter Milan, it wasn’t because their insurance wouldn’t cover it, it was because the Italian football federation doesn’t allow players to play with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator’s, which is why he had to be released from his contract.
you didnt show marcelo accidentally breaking the opponents leg by stepping on it, that one was so horrible Marcelo started crying after the incident immediately
Or Roy Keane breaking Alfie Haaland's leg, or Azpilicueta getting kicked in the head last season by Sekou Mara, or Jordan Pickford breaking van Dijk's leg, etc. So many terrible injuries that often end careers or put them into their sunset.
nah bruh, his leg turned into an L, jokes aside, it was pretty graphic and Lucian Sanchez, must habe hurt a lot, and his career is basically ended, because i dont think you can really recover from that
@@GmmBeastthis is a medical channel tho, he could flag it as educational or blur it. This was a good video but there were plenty of more serious injuries he could’ve reacted to like a cracked skull, leg snaps etc
Hey Doctor Mike Love your videos Great Work Video Idea:- Make a video on ranking non medical Shows/Movies that you have reviewed on their medical accuracy
As a soccer player myself, I can attest to the amount of injuries that can occur. I’ve sprained just about every tendon that can be sprained, broken every toe at least twice, taken a knee to the hip and ended up with a partial dislocation… etc. I think the worst though was taking a femur to the Achilles. Thankfully it didn’t fully tear it was only a partial. But my God did it hurt like hell.
This has been good info. Liked the exploitation on the Ronaldo knee injury. It actually helped me understand why they were waiting for the inflammation to go down for Orioles Pitcher Felix Bautista in regards to his UCL injury. Would love to learn more about the UCL injuries, especially now that there are some newer treatments pending the severity of it. It is not just Tommy John surgery.
That Eriksen moment haunts everyone. But especially as a Dane, seeing that on international TV, and it happening in his home country was one of the scariest things ever in football. But to think he came back, plays for united, and scored Danmark's opening goal in the Euros is legendary.
These were too PG. We need the crazy ones doc! Raul Jimenez's fractured skull, Roy Keane breaking Haaland's leg, Son breaking Gomes's leg and the craziest Lienen having his thigh cut open (10in apparently) exposed to the bone and still stand up and run to the manager to fight him
Needs a part 2 cause these are far from being the worst injuries. Broken legs, broken feet, concusions, broken heads. NEED MORE

Someone needs to create a tally of how many times he has said both “chest compressions”, and something about concussions to do with the brain being in a fluid and not connected to anything
I totally agree😂
As someone taking anatomy for the last two semesters this is so interesting to watch. Thanks doctor Mike
Good luck
As much as some of the "grass fairy" stereotype is true (the unnecessary diving, faking injuries, overreacting, etc.), soccer really is an incredibly physical contact sport that doesn't get enough respect in America. Thanks for showing some of the physicality of the sport.
Now that the king (Messi) is in that house, they will learn 😉
You gave almost every reason why it doesn't deserve as much respect as you say 😂
In my teens I tried out all kinds of sports, yet the only injuries I had (streched ligaments, capsule rupture, wrist sprain) all came from football.
@@wowdude4377 Deliberate ignorance. Shame.
*Football
I love mike because he knows a lot of soccer and medical issues and for me that’s the video I would watch. Keep it up
I remember seeing Eriksen collapse whilst watching the game live. Was instantly thinking the worst and now he plays for my team. Incredible story
i love how u respect other ppl's countries by saying soccer and football
because in my country we say football and when i watch other videos talking about it the always say soccer
Being a professional physiotherapist, I can say that it was an interesting video about some of the injuries that we most successfully rehabilitated and that it showed that it is not only the medical area that understands and can deal with such injuries in the area of soccer/football. Thank you for your reaction, Dr.
OMGGGG im very happy you read my comment about doing thiiiiis! great videooo!
One of the rare moments caught on tape where Neymar had an actual injury. You can tell by him not rolling around like a tire after the hit.
He gets injured a lot though. Had a few ankle injuries as well
He has alot of actual injuries, mainly on his ankle. His style of play attracts rough tackles
Tell me you never watched Neymar play without telling me you never watched Neymar play:
This is the kind of comment that blatantly shows when someone has no idea what they're talking about and only knows Neymar through dead memes.
Bro you probably don’t even watch football and found some virgin posting this on reddit, that you sit and read every day
2:39 in 2016, when Portugal played against france in the final of the euros,ronaldo actually sprained his ACL and got subbed off. Portugal won the match 0-1
Hope there's part 2 for this! There's so many injuries on football that happens.
Specially that marcelo did
That one was brutal. I almost couldn't watch. Almost

As someone who shattered one of my vertebrae in a car accident when I was in 8th grade, I can vouch for how painful breaking your spine is. It still gives me problems to this day.
Christian Eriksen is now playing for Manchester United and he is doing well both in the sport and also with his health. It is like a fairy story. I guess it shows that a quick response to a heart attack means everything
Italian Football has an insanely zealous standard for fitness evaluation. Especially for these types of heart conditions. I remember a couple of players that were stopped in the past for similar reasons, such as Kanu, who himself went to play in England as well.

0:20 I just learned that Ribery played in the 2006 World Cup. Thanks Mike
As a football fan, I feel this barely scratches the surface of horrific injuries. You should check out Rivaldo at the 2002 World Cup after a ball hit him
That was one of the most terrifying injuries in the history of football. Didn't he almost die? I'm surprised dr mike didn't include that injury
He might not be able to show that one. It was pretty graphic and UA-cam has these odd rules about showing anything with blood.
@@mcrchickenluvr yeah I’m pretty sure that’s why he didn’t talk about the injury of Ewald Lienen. Open flesh wound …
I think he tries his best not to make stuff to graphic… as he’s a family medicine doctors I’m sure he tries to keep stuff family friendly. And not get demonetized
He should check out that time when Ronaldo was bleeding on his head
Another really scary injury was when Fernando Torres fell face first after a blow on his back and "swallowed his tongue" (don't know the actual medical term, but I believe it's a relatively common thing in soccer). He was down for several minutes on the field with no one knowing if he would survive
Dr Mike, please cover this! Theres a widespread myth among footballfans and even players that "swallowing your tongue" is so common that you see players try to "help" by putting their fingers into an unconscious players mouth, completely ignoring the fact that nobody ever in medical or martial arts (where knockouts are extremely common) ever handle these situations in that manor.
Stop spreading misinformation.
There's no such thing as swallowing one's tongue, what can happen is that people who fainted and are laying on ground can have their muscles relaxed, that includes their tongue, which falls to the back of their mouth covering it, it's the same thing that causes snoring, it's only something dangerous when they cant breathe through their nose or are not breathing already and need CPR because unlike with apnea that you simply wake up to breathe, fainted people will not wake up, in that case, you reajust their heads and the tongue will fall back, it can also be prevented by placing people that fainted or are having convulsions on their left side.
We NEED more of this whole series
So heartbreaking for Eriksen, to come back from a cardiac arrest and play soccer, is incredible to me. Oh and by the way, the a Achilles injury is similar to Aaron Rodgers of the Jets, and he’s out for the season.

3:25 that's got to be the most egregious dangerous kick in recorded history
This guy is so intresting to watch, and so intresting to listen and giving us education
The Zindane's Incident is because Zidane was saying to him that he will give him his jersey but the other player said i would prefer ur sister.
As a former ice hockey goaltender, I' d like to see your reactions/analysis to hockey related injuries
I second this

@@nuudelz3711 He made a video about this topic since I commented here. It includes players like Malarchuk or Boychuk
3:40 - Metal cleats have been banned by FIFA since the lightning incident in Africa killed literally an entire team. Their opponents were wearing plastic cleats and were unharmed.
metal cleats may have been banned, but during this game nobody died due to the lighting some were hospitalized but all survived.
I agree this needs a part 2, a very severe fracture known on mexican football is of a player called Edgar Andrade, it happened many years ago but it was well known and really painful to watch
Last year, in school football, I was dribbling through players on the other team, but one player found me dribbling well, so he did like Van Dijk defense. When he tackled, he hit me right in the *ANKLE, OR ACHILLES TENDON*, 7:03, but, I'm young and somehow I RECOVERED IN 25 MINUTES, because we were using normal shoes, like cross-country shoes, or something like that.
He’s such a health nerd and it’s so satisfying. I love this dude.
This video needs a part two. Also: this but with hockey or ciclism. Those are some risky sports to get injured.
5:31 I remember watching the game when Eriksen had the cardiac arrest. I've seen it before, I've done chest compressions, I've brought people back and I lost people.
But that moment when I realised they were doing chest compressions was shocking because up to that point it wasn't clear whether he had just fainted.
They eventually got a ROSC while still on the pitch (fortunately everything was covered by the players) and eventually were able to transfer an already conscious Eriksen to the hospital. Following the ICD-implantation, as seen in this video, Eriksen was not allowed to play in Italy anymore. But he eventually transferred to Manchester United in England, still one of the biggest clubs on the planet despite their recent lack of success, and I'd argue he's one of their most consistently good players.
The fact that he managed to get out of this without any lasting damage, the fact that he can play professional sports on a world class level again is nothing short of incredible, and it was only possible because the players and the medical personnel reacted quickly and immediately started chest compressions when they found him unconscious and not breathing.
So, people, if you ever end up in a situation where you find someone in cardiac arrest, start chest compressions. The earlier you start, the higher the chance of the person coming back and sustaining no or just little damage. The single most important part - next to getting help - is to start chest compressions because that's what buys you time, and ideally, that's what brings the patient back quickly.
If you are on your own, start chest compressions and call for help via loudspeaker on your phone.
If you are two people, one of you starts the compressions, the other one calls for help and then looks if there's a defibrillator around + switches with you when you are exhausted (which will happen after just a few minutes, and you should switch every couple of minutes)
5:35 my grandfather had this but he is now resting because he passed away😢
Zinedien Zidane at 7:30 went full goat mode on that guy 😂
While playing as a LB, I was running down the wing defending against the opposition player. I slid in and as soon as my left foot made contact with the ball, I felt a pain on the outside of my foot below the ankle bone. I stood up and immediately fell to my knees as I couldn't put weight on my left. It was an important game so I didn't tell anyone I was injured and was still able to perform at a decent enough standard for us to win the match. Went to the doctor after and they said I tore the ligaments in my ankle
Neymar's was painful to watch and the 7-1 defeat against Germany in the next game was even more painful. He was once considered to be someone who could be on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi but the defenders always want to injure him out of frustration instead of stealing the ball from him, the unfortunate circumstance of being one of the best dribblers in the history of the sport.
I'm brasilian and he deff had the opportunity to be one of the best but I think fame got to his head he wanted to be more of a superstar celebrity more than a superstar footballer.
As a soccer player, I get injured like 100 times every single game and I know how it feels to get injuries like that. It really hurts and it hurts worst as a girl.
I play a lot of football and honestly, tearing my ACL was horrific. Took me a year to recover from through very intense rehab. On top of that I damaged my MCL as well recently and it's taken several months to get back to normal.
we need this guy in every soccer/football game
The worst injury of a soccer/football player I remember is the one of the german player Marco Reus in a friendly right before the 2014 world cup, which Germany later won. Idk how bad it is, but he partially tore a ligament in his left ankle. After that, he's been injured for quite a few times and for relatively long periods as well. It sucks because he had the potential a world class player if we wasn't so injury prone.
One of the biggest what-ifs in football. He was truly world class, and he could've played for any club in world football until injuries kept him sidelined half of every season it felt.
your acting like you dont know about him too much
Mad respect for Bobby in the thumbnail
Dr mike is literally the best on YT he’s so informative and he has fun on here while also being professional ❤❤
As someone who’s fractured the vertebrae and didn’t have it looked at for a year 1/2 I can confirm it’s very painful
Eriksen is back and playing at the highest level again which is fantastic to see
I was a volleyball player. I’ve seen what happens to a person when hit by a fast ball. It’s crazy how much injury we also get when we bump into other people, especially our own teammates. I’ve only played soccer during PE, but it requires a ton of energy and training! 😅
The guy at 3:45 got confused and thought he was a antagonist in a Karate Kid movie...

The Xavi Alonso kick in the chest I got a few days ago but in my thigh and it really hurt there is a really bad bruise and a scab it was on purpose
Would love to see more parts for soccer injuries, from the women’s side too would be awesome especially with the crazy increase with ACL injuries.
Oh man, I tore my Achilles a few years ago, and the pain was easily in the top three most painful experiences of my life. Fortunately, it was a partial thickness tear, and it occurred on the end attached to the calf instead of down by the heel, so it was able to heal on its own.
Also, if you're doing sports injuries, I suggest hockey. I really want to see your reaction to Clint Malarchuk and Max Pacioretty's injuries.

One of the most common injuries in football is head concusions. Unfortunately not every player have an the idea of how dangerous it could be, and how easy it is to avoid
Yup, anyone who's ever played defender knows how hard your head jerks when stopping full force shots with your head. You have to have seriously strong neck muscles to get used to that long term. I know I couldn't, I'd black out after every stronger hit.
I had a friend and we played American football together. One day during practice all you hear is the sound of a two by four snapping in half. We look at the source of the sound, and there was my friend with his leg doing the hockey pockey and turning itself around. Turns out he broke his femur and the leg had twisted around some where on his way to the ground. He got a rod through his hip and along the femur and was running track again a little while later.
I got a spinal fracture in soccer when i was 16. My mom forced me to get up and go home. I couldn't move for a week and it was horrific pain. I didn't find out until over ten years later when i kept throwing my back out and having pinched nerves and went to get an x ray and that's when i found out how bad my back injury really was.
3:35 they used to use completely metal cleats
I’d be interested in seeing Doctor Mike react to some of the worst hockey injuries. Got some real nasty ones involved there too.
Can you tell me some?
Literal cuts on the throat made by the skates (a player died by one) hokey disks dodging the helmets, popped legs, ankles...but definetly the cuts are so shocking@@EpicLoneIy
I’d like to see some hockey hits reactions, because I’ve seen some wild ones over the years
I've been commenting "please do ice hockey next" for the past couple sports related videos ! Since he's currently on a roll I hope he does all sports and it's included 🙈
I agree
8:12 They don’t call him “Chewy Luis” for nothing.
What a freak!
Getting the studs in the heart is just terrifying I hope he is ok
Just for context at 1:17 neymars injury meant he couldnt play for almost a year and the doctors said if it was a centimeter to the left he would never play football again
Just a minor correction about Eriksen not being able to continue playing for Inter Milan, it wasn’t because their insurance wouldn’t cover it, it was because the Italian football federation doesn’t allow players to play with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator’s, which is why he had to be released from his contract.
you didnt show marcelo accidentally breaking the opponents leg by stepping on it, that one was so horrible Marcelo started crying after the incident immediately
Or Roy Keane breaking Alfie Haaland's leg, or Azpilicueta getting kicked in the head last season by Sekou Mara, or Jordan Pickford breaking van Dijk's leg, etc. So many terrible injuries that often end careers or put them into their sunset.
Might be too graphic for UA-cam but who knows? Maybe we'll get a part two
nah bruh, his leg turned into an L, jokes aside, it was pretty graphic and Lucian Sanchez, must habe hurt a lot, and his career is basically ended, because i dont think you can really recover from that
@@GmmBeastthis is a medical channel tho, he could flag it as educational or blur it. This was a good video but there were plenty of more serious injuries he could’ve reacted to like a cracked skull, leg snaps etc
I am a med student ( my first year ) and i have fun watching your videos
I love how he looks up to Zidane meanwhile he headbutts this dude😂😂
Hey Doctor Mike
Love your videos
Great Work
Video Idea:- Make a video on ranking non medical Shows/Movies that you have reviewed on their medical accuracy
As a soccer player myself, I can attest to the amount of injuries that can occur. I’ve sprained just about every tendon that can be sprained, broken every toe at least twice, taken a knee to the hip and ended up with a partial dislocation… etc. I think the worst though was taking a femur to the Achilles. Thankfully it didn’t fully tear it was only a partial. But my God did it hurt like hell.

This has been good info. Liked the exploitation on the Ronaldo knee injury. It actually helped me understand why they were waiting for the inflammation to go down for Orioles Pitcher Felix Bautista in regards to his UCL injury. Would love to learn more about the UCL injuries, especially now that there are some newer treatments pending the severity of it. It is not just Tommy John surgery.

That Eriksen moment haunts everyone. But especially as a Dane, seeing that on international TV, and it happening in his home country was one of the scariest things ever in football. But to think he came back, plays for united, and scored Danmark's opening goal in the Euros is legendary.
These were too PG. We need the crazy ones doc! Raul Jimenez's fractured skull, Roy Keane breaking Haaland's leg, Son breaking Gomes's leg and the craziest Lienen having his thigh cut open (10in apparently) exposed to the bone and still stand up and run to the manager to fight him
