Me finding a patient who flipped his ATV and now had a degloving injury where, and I can’t really accurately portray this by using clinical jargon so I’m gonna go with common parlance, the “meat” of his forearm was in his palm and I could see his artery, bone, tendons, etc. That was definitely “fire resc-oh buddy” moment.
@@Ligierthegreensun speaking of Quadbikes, I flipped mine on a gravel road when I was... ... ... yeah, gonna say six. Six years old. Going on seven. I was lucky because the reason I flipped it was the exact reason that prevebted me from being any more injured, the speed govenor screw fell out and the throttle suddenly went side open. So after I flipped it, the rear wheels sped up and made it skid around and past me on one wheel, before falling over onto its side. Still sucked having the palms of BOTH my hands skinned raw in the gravel though. I ended up falling off face first and broke my fall with my hands, i went skididng through the gravel for something like six or seven meters. The iodine bloody KILLED. I am just happy it was a cold day in sunmer here in Aus, or else I would of been riding in shorts and a T-shirt instead of tracksuit pants and a hoodie.
Ahhh bloody hell thinking about it made the burning feeling come back! I hate when that happens xD Honestly, it wss like... twelve or fourteen years ago!
This is just my experience so it's probably not that accurate But you don't really think? During an emergency and you're the one that's hurt, just laying on the ground. It's like your mind has drifted away, like you know what happened, you know it's serious But you don't really think about it y'know? Like I remember looking at my feet going " huh, my shoes are dirty, I wonder if I can move my foot?" Getting slightly annoyed at the people panicking around me constantly asking the same questions over and over again You're there, you're aware but in a "meh I didn't die" kind of mental state
@@ThewhiteandorangeIt's more because in situations like LITERAL IMPALEMENT put to much pain through your nervous system and so adrenaline makes it so you don't flatline and go into total organ failure from said pain, like when I BROKE my arm I didn't even realize it was broken because I didn't think it hurt as bad as a broken bone would but when I got back to my Apartment and the adrenaline started coming off it started hurting more and I realized it was broken when my bike felt a million pounds and I couldn't get it up the stairs, same when I broke my Finger recently, when your body is put in to much pain it releases natural painkillers so you go into shock instead of just immediately flatlining to the pain!😒
My friend split open his nut sack after crashing his bike as a teen. He said he vividly remembered the feeling of skin tearing, blood soaking his jeans and filling up his shoes, looking at the trail of blood behind him as he limped home but he felt no pain. He got home, his mom saw him and started screaming, and he blacked out. Going into shock literally allowed him to make it home where he could get help, the human body is crazy.
It has come in really handy for me before. Smashed my finger pretty bad it on a beam 130 ft in the air, nausea and light headedness managed to hold off until i got to the catwalk about 30 feet away. I was wearing a harness and safetied off, but better not to need it at all!!
I hit myself in the face with a rock when I was 19. Busted through my lip and shattered a tooth. Didn’t feel any pain until 2 hours later when the root canal was begun.
I know EMTs probably want to help people but the best thing they can do unless someone is literally unable to drive and has tried and failed is to just not do anything to avoid killing the injured with medical debt.
@@strawdog7704 my great uncle fell off a roof broke his wrist punctured his spleen because broken ribs he finished the metal roof drove himself home and his wife took him to the hospital he was in the icu for a month (he was 70 years old) still rides dirt bikes with me
@@PixelSageYTprobably not. As long as there's room and it's safe, plus two people need medical attention ASAP, it doesn't change anything that there's two patients. Im not a paramedic or anything but volunteer in privately owned ambulances. So might not be the same
It's just a common editing trick. He films different parts of the short separately and puts the parts together. Sometimes, the parts overlap and make it look like there's multiple of him.
to a certain extent, it's what he needed to do. it's likely, given the state of the other guy, that the cop is who called it in, and he held it together just long enough
@@Kylies_creationsI’m sure in the real incident there was blood and tissue all over the ground and on the pipe. he had to hold the pipe until the paramedics showed up, probably feeling the blood and body squish as the pipe moves in his hand.
had a hole in my head as a child. I cried a lot at the beginning because ... well i slid head first into a wall but when we went to the doc she put those strips on my head and said if that happens again they would have to stitch it. But overall the pain wasn't too bad Hitting your head is just super weird because of how numb and dizzy you are everything just fells kinda shit.
Yeah, shock is a helluva drug. Helped an older woman once who had slipped off a curb, ankle completely broken and twisted sideways. I was telling people not to move her while we waited for an ambulance, to not make it worse. Fortunately i had my first aid trained husband with me. She kept insisting she needed to make her bus to get to the store, and couldn't process why that was really not going to happen for her, poor thing.
When I was 5 I slammed my thumb in the car door and at the emergency room I said my pain was a 2, the thing was I couldn't feel my thumb at all so of course I didn't feel the pain. I did scream when it happened though
One time this happened while my thumb was gushing blood. I put it under water and when I tell you the SECOND I put it out of under the water it continued gushing. It actually didnt hurt at first until I came to my mom and realization started setting in and I began to faint
I either have a stupid amount of pain tolerance or my body doesn't send it like others do, but I somehow went through getting my big toe anesthetized with only a slight intake of breath when I was told that most scream. Well, I'm different. Fine by me, probably not the doctors though.
I had an accident 10 years ago while ice skating. My knecap popped off and back on. I menaged to WALK to the hospital (it was pretty close, like 0,5 km walk) and then I sat down in ER. It didn't even hurt that much so I was waiting calmly. After... 3h they asked me to come in and WOW that pain was something
Literally me after overturning my foot in school sport and just keep running with some light jumps in it 2 hours later when i was back home fuuuuuuck it hurts so bad and the best is my grandma told and asked me to take me to hospital (should have listened ) and I was like nah I’m good end of the story she had to drive me to the hospital 😂
I was rear-ended on the interstate and I felt fine the day of the crash but the next day, I was hurting so bad I just carefully got myself on the floor while my mom called for a paramedic.
I mean best lession in life is if your not a doctor whos armed with proper equipment never try to pull any object out of the would. It is hurting the patient but also holding the blood in.
@@thewhitewolf58 Yup. You can live a surprisingly long time with a giant piece of pipe/branch/rebar/etc through your abdomen. Way longer than you can once you pop the cork, at least.
Yeah, that's the most worrying part. For all intents and purposes, something like this he should be either screaming his head off, or completely unconscious due to the brain going, "I'm putting you to sleep for BOTH our sakes." The fact that he's awake, alert, in ZERO pain, and can hold a regular conversation like he didn't just ram PVC pipe through his leg is likely a result of nerve damage, mainly the nerves in the area being completely obliterated, which is bad...or paralysis, which is worse. And no, adrenaline wouldn't be the saving grace here, as it would only work up until the injured party realized that they'd been injured. People can walk around with horrific wounds that don't start hurting until they realize they've been hurt...and then the pain kicks in all at once, because adrenaline had been masking it up until then.
@@sergeantassassin3425 It very depends on what it hits. I've heard impalements, and even gunshots, can be not much more painful than being punched if vital organs and nerve clusters are missed. It obviously still hurt in some positions otherwise the officer wouldn't have needed to hold the pipe.
This was literally 11-year old me when my leg got impaled by a tree. I was running, then suddenly couldn’t move, couldn’t figure out why my leg was stuck to a tree? Yanked my leg away, saw the fucking branch in my leg, and went “huh, okay. Well it’s not that bad, right? Cause it doesn’t hurt”. Turned around, started walking home, and then it started hurting. Like, a lot. My poor little cousins were so shocked when they found me lmao. I tried to keep it cool, was like “oh hey gang. Mind getting an adult for me? I’m sorta in pain here” while my leg was starting to burn and I was trying really hard not to cry in front of the kids. I was super proud I didn’t cry too. Joke’s on me, I was so distracted by the pain I didn’t notice the involuntary tears. Or maybe my brother was just fucking with me when he said he saw me crying lmao what else are little brothers for
@sergeantassassin3 I didn't know adrenaline worked completely like that, I knew it could nullify the pain but not that it lasts until the injured realizes they're hurt, I mean I should've learned this due to continuing to play basketball for 20 minutes straight before I realized I was bleeding from having smashed my finger nail.
@@FearTheStoryteller It depends. Sometimes people can be hurt severely, know it, and because of the situation they're in, adrenaline will completely numb the pain. If a person believes they're in a life-or-death situation, they can tank ungodly amounts of punishment, as the brain recognizes that survival is paramount. Assessment of injuries can wait until you're out of danger. It does vary, of course, by the severity of, number of, and type of injuries sustained.
@@ethanvancooney7640 you absolutely can because emergencies. Ambulances are actually designed to take 2 patients on spine boards for multiple casualty incidents.
The guy is legit talented as an actor and comedian. I would absolutely watch him on tv. I still think that he needs to be hired on as a technical advisor for those ridiculous tv shows, the guy should be making serious money.
I volunteered as a casualty in a mass casualty drill, helping to train paramedics. They had a makeup artist to simulate the look of injuries and when I told the woman I was an amputee she got this really evil excited look in her eye. The poor paramedic was expecting *SIMULATED* injuries. He was not expecting to encounter an actual severed limb. He told me later he thought I was injured for real until I started laughing at his reaction. Have you ever responded "Holy f******* s***!" when you have first seen a casualty?
I have hyper-mobile Ehlers-Danlos (I think I spelled that right. Not a doctor) and some of the things my joints will do has caused med students and young EMTs to drop like that. I find it HILARIOUS. So did my PCP; he'd let me twist my wrist far enough for it to fold in half for his students. Got one with every crowd. Didn't hurt me none. 25 years later I'm not QUITE as flexible but no permanent injury from traumatizing the larval doctors. OTOH I discovered that when I do actually overdo my gumbiness the injuries tend to calcify. Oops. Weirdest thing about EDS? having my leg accidentally flip forward when going down stairs and having to catch myself by the railing. Flops forward aboot 30 degrees before my patella pops back into place and my leg is load bearing again. Doesn't hurt but do not recommend.
@@acherem13 oh that reminds me of one of my clinical rotations. We got called to a MVA that was absolute nonsense, not even any paint transfer. But one of the occupants in one of the cars, who was very pregnant, said she "felt a contraction" and her entire P&G history was sitting in the backseat looking at us. We drove her to the L&D department of the closest hospital with everyone in the back of the ambulance by her feet just waiting for that baby. She did not give birth in the ambulance that night, which was a relief.
@@GhostBear3067 nice dodge. I had one a couple years ago that was saying she was having contractions but was otherwise presenting well without too much discomfort. We arrived at the hospital, were escorted slowly up to L&D, and then given a room. She stood up and walked to the bed. As we step out the doc walks inside past us and IMMEDIATELY sticks her head out of the door and calls for a nurse ASAP. Less than 40 seconds later the patient delivered the baby completely. My partner and I turned to each other and high fived.
I was involved in one of those drills once and the woman coordinating told me that she wanted me to be the 1st person to encounter the trainees and to be very upset. She had no idea I had been raised by nurses and a mischievous streak. I came out wide eyed, hysterical, chaotic and clinging to them while they tried to ask questions. Tears and all. It was great, they were so freaked out.
Welllll, that does technically prep them for whenever such scenarios arise where there ARE hysteric patients or bystanders. Learning to gently but effective calm someone down, who might be on the edge of sanity due to pain or horror or a medical condition is very important!
@@spritsfal5088Hit my finger with an angle grinder by accident and I was so calm is was wild. I was in a woodworking class and while bleeding everywhere I approached the instructor, who was talking to another student, and was like "hey, sorry to interrupt, but I have injured myself😅" and then he acted way more freaked out than me. It didn't hurt all that much until after I got out of urgent care
The more nervous you are in those situations the more likely you are to go into shock, not only that but it will elevate your blood pressure which could make you bleed out faster, the best way to survive is actually to get help calmly but quickly.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849because him falling while holding the pipe could have made that injury worse? I'm guessing? Which, it's true, but also "oh god I do not know how to handle holding a pipe that's impaled a human" is pretty reasonable.
@@deathXbyXlight Yeah that's my thoughts. I personally do NOT do well with blood and open organs and stuff. So any accident where the injuries are really bad, I'm less helpful as someone nearby. I can totally empathize with that cop's inability to manage that kind of trauma.
My 2 year old got the top of her finger chopped off to the first knuckle, just hanging there by a little bit of flesh. After her initial scream, she got really calm and quiet. My teenager was holding her finger together with some pressure as we drove to the ER and I kept asking if she was still awake and alert because she was so silent. When we got to the ER, they were able to bring us back to triage within a few minutes. The nurse was so happy and nice and said Let's take off that cloth and take a look. When I did I watched this miniscule look pass over his face before he snapped right back into "happy and calm". I could tell he hasn't actually expected to see her finger cut off even though I was very clear about the damage. The DR he called over did the same kind of look and then she was also acting very happy and calm. They were so sweet to my kid and their attitudes helped my baby to continue to stay calm. We had to go back to the waiting area for about 30 minutes until we could get a room and I'm sitting them holding my kids, keeping the finger elevated with some pressure on it but it wasn't obvious what I was doing. A few people asked what was wrong because we just looked like a mom cuddling a calm and healthy kid. The whiney adult who was sitting behind me and gripping about the wait finally stopped talking when they overheard me explain that her finger got chopped off.
I have a similar story, I was being a dumb 10-11 year old and the scissors I was playing with slipped. Tip of my finger was cut off and had to go get it reattached. After the initial pain it didn't actually hurt much, and I got ice cream after!
Let's just say ADHD and rubber chair handles meant I found the hollow point of the handle and tried to make a secret compartment to hide candy in. With scissors.@@AlaskaKatt
@@AlaskaKatt It was my fault and I still feel horrible about it. I accidentally shut a heavy door while she was gripping the door frame by the hinges side. I have a bit of PTSD every time I shut a door now. 😭
ripped my leg open to the bone this year, I remember how calm they were in the pre-ER thinking "he's calm, can't be too bad" then the newbie almost vomited when the rag came off. Glad to help them learn I guess.
When the average call is to check on an old retarded fart calling ER because blood pressure has changed by 5 units I'd say you should be proud of your achievement.
@@notchs0son I don't know what the correct term for what you mean is but in ER shock is not what you mean. "Shock is a critical condition brought on by the sudden drop in blood flow through the body. Shock may result from trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, an allergic reaction, severe infection, poisoning, severe burns or other causes. When a person is in shock, his or her organs aren't getting enough blood or oxygen." You can suspect shock visually by noticeable paleness of the victim.
@@notchs0son Could be a little nerve damage as well. I cracked a tooth and the nerve was exposed. They didn't believe me until they saw for themselves and were shocked I wasn't writhing in pain.
That's so strong and caring of the officer, he held it together (when it was out of his realm of coping) until EMT got there, He took care of the man despite his own feelings until special care showed up.
lol i wish real cops were like that called the police on my parents for serious mental emotional physical and sexual abuse and the cops accused me of just being a brat. didnt investigate in the slightest oh and when my sibling attempted their life, a cop looked me in the eyes and asked me with such a fucking attitude, "why are you crying?" they wouldnt even let me see my sibling or what state they were in. no shit id be panicking and crying... i was just a fucking kid, probably like 12 or 13. i hate cops.
@@Micahmancer I am so sorry you had to go through that! No one deserves to be treated like that especially not children! There's absolutely no excuse for your parents especially with the sexual abuse. And the fact the police didn't listen, my heart goes out to you and your sibling. I hope you don't live with them anymore and you are having a better life now. Sending you lots of healing and peace ✨
@@BringJoy2HealOurEarth thank you. yeah im 23 now living on my own and so is my sibling. we're both no-contact with our parents and we're the happiest this way. It took a lot of healing but we're worlds better now. We still live with physical health conditions dealt to us due to the extreme stress put on us while we were young, but we're still making the best of it.
@Micahmancer hey I never got it sexually but how exactly do you go no contact without your parents threatening to take away everything they ever gave you?? Did you have to rebuild everything you had? I'm asking bc i want to move in with my girlfriend to heal from my fathers abuse but bc its a homosexual relationship(my gf is nonbinary however, but my mom doesn't consider them to be bc transphobia) my mom keeps doing everything in her power to keep me home including taking away everything that was given to me except stuff I bought myself. She doesn't count Christmas or graduation money either. I'm just hoping to figure something out in time to hatch an escape plan with my gf.
@@Iamgayman Try and contact a local domestic violence program- they may have a financial assistance program to help you leave, and they can connect you to local resources for your other needs (housing, medical, employment, counseling, etc.)
Reminds me of the time I fell off my bike and was impaled straight through the stomach with 3 sharp af branches, they didn’t think it was gonna be too bad as I was happy and jolly, 2 of the nurses fainted and said it was one of the worse cases of impalement they’ve seen.
@@Drako-im3yy because I was so young I can’t remember entirely but it wasn’t too painful because I didn’t realise until I was actually at the hospital, but once I noticed I started crying and screaming ‘it hurts, it hurts’ and tbh, it just felt like I was gonna die lmao, indescribable.
Reminds me of an anecdote from my brother when he was military. I asked him about getting shot and the various other injuries he accrued while on his tour and he basically said that if you get shot and it hurts, you're generally gonna be okay. If you get shot and feel nothing, its extremely likely you're going to die.

I could only imagine the things your brother has seen and had to do. I thank your brother for his service.
I deal more with animals, but for me it’s toenails. Blood, abscesses, 💩, 🤮, no problem. Torn toenails and I’m outta there. And yes I am mocked severely for it.
When my paramedic school instructors found out I have an identical twin they tried to get me to get him into the program as well so they could schedule us into the same psych rotation, but my brother cannot handle ANY body fluids. Even sweat and TEARS get him woosie, it is really sad actually.
I know my limitations well, it’s 100 feet of my ex girlfriend’s property line of her house or place of business, or 200 yards of a school or balloon stand 😊
@@briannarvaez203 Did you not need to get some medical experience at an ER or something like that during training? That's how it works where I live so they can have some idea of what they're going to see.
I've watched this 4 times & only NOW realize the victim impaled himself on the PVC pipe the cop had been holding upright. Couldn't figure out why the cop fainted. Glad he didn't fall on the victim
one time when i was getting put into an ambulance, i waved at the people walking by. found out from friends later on that my wave really unnerved them??? i wasnt even visibly hurt, i had a stomach infection
@@mmmhhm Probably would have been less unnerving if you'd been screaming in agony. Waving cheerfully while getting into an ambulance is the kind of thing you'd expect an Addams to do.
So, I can absolutely confirm this happens more often than civilians would like to know Jason. I have a story involving a woman and a small tree. Same situation, but she did not even realize the tree had impaled her in that general vicinity. She was prone and only complaining of some slight upper back pain after falling from a ladder and meeting the offending tree. I had to be the one to break the news to her that she had a new appendage in an area she definitely should not have one. God bless and stay safe out there brother.
@@buyingscratchoffticketsunt5750. Like we often say- Usually you don't ACCIDENTALLY wind up with foreign objects in your rear end, but occasionally it happens that way. Spend enough time in emergency medicine and you will see wonders not seen elsewhere.
happened to me, fell 17 feet off a homemade zipline, wind was knocked out of me and that was pretty much it. Couldnt move my arm very well so I just went inside once I caught my breath. Mom almost had a stroke cause my Humerus was sticking through my shoulder and I had no clue lol
Dude fell on something, is lying down, and feels no pain. Either dude is on a gnarly adrenaline trip, or he's paralyzed. damn *Edit: As a Christian, I understand the commandment of not using the Lord's name in vain, but are y'all THAT sensitive to forms of expression?? Y'all are wild'n 🤣 *Edit: I decided to do some more research, some consider "God damn" a sin, most don't, the Bible isn't really 100% clear on what forms of social expression is considered using Lord's name in vain, so I just changed it altogether. Now go find something productive to do, sheesh 🙄
Or somehow it pierced the subcutaneous layer and avoided all major blood vessels and organs. Freak of nature incident, with a very quick surgery and recovery. Looks gnarly though.
There was one tv "stranger than fiction" episode about a man who tripped off some steps and fell on a steel garden stake, which skewered him all the way through the torso. Lucky guy was released from the hospital later that day with little just a few stitches. The blunt end of the stake literally pushed his organs out of the way as it penetrated him.@@roetemeteor
This pretty much happened to me. When my lung collapsed the ambulance crew rushed me straight into an emergency surgery room. They cut me open almost straight away in there so they could reinflate my lung. I'd been panicking at home but by that point I'd started cracking jokes. I hadn't noticed but one of the ambulance crew, a trainee, had got very quiet in the corner and began turning a bit green. Anyway I lean over to the left so I can see inside my own body, it's a vulgar combination of yellows and whites and reds and it made me feel woozy to say the least. I commented on it all and next thing I know ambulance trainee has to leave the room to avoid nearly passing out. When my partner had to leave the room she went for a vape outside and saw him throwing up in a bin.
Weird. I've used narcan and an AED 10x more than anyone in our EMS or fire dept. Something about getting on scene before them 9 times out of 10 I guess.
My grandfather an EMT the one thing most common thing he tells me is keeping a sense of humor to help patients when transporting them to the hospital to keep they mind distracted on something els.
Worked with a guy who could handle anything. Except snot... Least bit hanging here or there, he was retching. Wasn't a huge thing until AIRBAGS! Because yeah, they literally knock the snot outta ya...
When I use to work in a lab drawing blood, it was always the men that passed out! The bigger the man, the harder and faster they went down. One day, a 6'3", must have weighed close to 300lbs man had his blood drawn, stood up and passed out on my 4'9", under 100lbs coworker!! He was flat out on top of her. I could hear her yelling for help but only see her arms flailing about underneath the man. I couldn't budge him and had to grab an orderly walking down the hallway. We rolled him off her and both were ok!!
I kind of have a completely unsupported theory on this, purely coming from the source that my mom taught me to lie down whenever I feel faint no matter where I am or how embarrassing it may seem: since a lot of men are still raised with the idea that they shouldn’t show weakness, perhaps men on average are far less inclined to lie down before actually blacking out? I’ve never actually properly blacked out BECAUSE I always lie down when I start feeling that coming on, so … thanks mom! Whenever I have to go get my blood taken or just anything involving needles I always ask to lie down during it and to give me five minutes or so to recover before standing up; every nurse I’ve ever had has been very understanding and appreciative of the fact that I know how my body reacts 😂
This is so true, I've heard the biggest burliest man is the most likely to faint. My brother works building window frames and all kinds of doors, sometimes you get nicked and cut nothing serious, but his super told him that a guy working cut his finger. He saw him swaying and he told the others to grab him but they thought he was playing, and yeah the guy went down like a sack of potatoes. 😅
@@petloverspy That's likely very true. Thankfully (in a sense) for my dad, just *existing* has taught him that clinging to pride like that just makes everything worse since the moment he was *born.* So when he walked out of the doctors office and felt his vision narrow with sort of internal timer until shut-down, he immediately took the few steps needed to where he knew a chair was and sat down. Still passed out, but at least he didn't fall over. I also suspect that women are generally less likely to faint at the sight of blood than men because we're used to bleeding on a regular basis.
Whenever I feel pukey or pass-outey, ngl I look away periodically and think of something that makes me angry. Also that my knees are not locked and sniffing alcohol packets if I have them are clutch. Life in the trauma bay.
My friend and I used to volunteer for a hospital while we were in high school and one day I went to work at the lab and it was her first (and last) day working in the ER. When my Mum came to pick her up (she got out earlier) she was waiting 30ish minutes and finally just went in and asked for her and they said she was a patient and sent my Mum back thinking it was a mistake. x.x She had been standing there while they were doing a cast on a patient and just blacked out and hit her head on the cart on the way down. 🤕 She ended up working in the lab lol
Lol. My mom brought me (at about 16) to the ICU she worked at to drop off some paperwork and all it took for me to go down was a nurse poking her head around saying "There's blood dripping from his line."
Your acting is beyond brilliant, it really feels like I'm watching three distinctly different people lol! I hope to see you in a bigger production some day, if that's ever your wish. You've definitely got the chops for it and then some.
Its true that when you see a rescuing figure your body gives up and you pass out I was assisting in a surgery and my Mother whose a gynaecologist came in and as soon as i saw her i passed out after saying i can't stand any more. I was about to pass out because of the high amount of blood loss from the surgery but as soon as my mother came in my body was like okay im done
"Well the good news is you're gonna have a roommate in the ambulance." Killed me. Genuinely laught out loud because of the timing. Congrats man that was awesome!
Omg....seriously, I get it. My daughter went to the emergency room because she had an infected wound on the back of her wrist about the size of a quarter. I went with her. I was asked if I wanted to step out, that they would numb her up and Lance it. I said no, I'm fine. I watched as the cut her open to drain the wound and I got light headed. Totally had no idea this would happen to me. I looked away and stayed seated. Woof...must be a subconscious thing.
I once got light-headed just seeing my great half uncle in a hospital bed after a surgery. I didn't see any blood, nor the dressings, but maybe it was the faint smells of a wound and just seeing someone in a weaker state than normal that got me. My vision was nearly all white, like a thick fog, and I was super lightheaded. I was told to sit, leaning forward, and drank a soda in small sips for 15 minutes before I felt better. There wasn't any water, which is what my aunt preferred to find, but maybe the sugar also helped.
Lol, most of the city guys I’ve worked with weren’t turned off by gore. Stinkers or hoarders were a different story though. That 5” layer of brown stuff that’s crunching under your feet isn’t mud. And yes, the walls are moving.
@@devinward461 often didn’t know it was a hoarders house until the call came in. There wasn’t any initial gear. We’d pick up on the “frequent flyer” houses though and smirk when the rookies got sent there.
@@vappyreon1176 95% of the time it was mental illness, when it was to that extent. Others times that were lesser, the people didn’t really care to clean up after their animals and were usually younger. It was always mind boggling.
“Actually doesn’t hurt at all” Yes that would be because of something called shock and adrenaline and once those wear off well you're gonna be saying curse words that even sailors won't repeat Edit: I was just being captain obvious with this comment why does it have this many likes?
Yeahh my grandfather had his leg mostly snapped off in a work accident (he was a boiler maker, someone dropped a beam, his leg was held on by a little bit of muscle/skin) and he said he didn't feel a thing, and while in shock was like "I should hold on to this so I don't lose it" and folded it over his lap. He said he calmly called for his brother (who was the boss man on this particular job) and waited patiently, thinking "idk why this doesn't hurt it seems like this should hurt". He said as soon as he heard his brothers voice he blacked out and woke up in the hospital the next day in the worst pain hes ever been in in his life-
There are also various levels of pain tolerance. My husband and I both got 2nd degree burns on our hands (loooooong story). I tended to his hand for 3 days before he couldcare for it himself. It was an ordeal. Whereas when I was burned it was a swear word and I kept working. He didn't notice I had been burned till nearly a week later after all my skin had closed up. Genetics have something to do with it to. My dad had 3 aortic dissections. Each time he drove himself home for a homecooked meal before calling an ambulance. People are just built diff.
"Even sailors won't repeat" 🤣 good way to put it. Put some stuff in my shoulder out of place and thats exactly what happened after returning home from the ER
😂 usually the other person turns 20 shades of white, then pukes before they pass out. Lately it’s been from the smell of decomp, it had been a long LONG 48 and we hadn’t eaten yet so we were waiting for the coroner sitting in the ambo eating sandwiches and saw 1 detective eat 💩 after he puked in the bushes. Never gets old 🤷🏼♀️ We are a different breed us EMS folks…these are so hilarious 😆 I totally relate ❤
I personally used to be very good with injuries, open wounds, and the ability to help people in these circumstances. But after a few very major incidences of my own, I’ve become very susceptible to shock. It’s not something that I am able to change, even though I have spent a lot of time trying to change it. So with that being said, I find it very fascinating that other people have the ability to deal with the situation as well as they do.
I absolutely cannot handle gore on TV or in movies. I had a panic attack so bad watching midsommer my bf had to walk me out and calm me down from one scene. But my grandmother worked in the lab at a hospital and we were prone to injury so I knew basic field med. All of my friends would come to me with broken hands and smashed fingers and gaping wounds and I wouldn't even flinch. Didn't even know I had a gore problem till my late teens 😅
It's never good when a medic immediately says " Oh-ho Buddy" when they see you
Somebody is getting an interesting story to tell, though.
I concur
Me finding a patient who flipped his ATV and now had a degloving injury where, and I can’t really accurately portray this by using clinical jargon so I’m gonna go with common parlance, the “meat” of his forearm was in his palm and I could see his artery, bone, tendons, etc.
That was definitely “fire resc-oh buddy” moment.
@@Ligierthegreensun speaking of Quadbikes, I flipped mine on a gravel road when I was... ... ... yeah, gonna say six. Six years old. Going on seven.
I was lucky because the reason I flipped it was the exact reason that prevebted me from being any more injured, the speed govenor screw fell out and the throttle suddenly went side open. So after I flipped it, the rear wheels sped up and made it skid around and past me on one wheel, before falling over onto its side.
Still sucked having the palms of BOTH my hands skinned raw in the gravel though. I ended up falling off face first and broke my fall with my hands, i went skididng through the gravel for something like six or seven meters. The iodine bloody KILLED.
I am just happy it was a cold day in sunmer here in Aus, or else I would of been riding in shorts and a T-shirt instead of tracksuit pants and a hoodie.
Ahhh bloody hell thinking about it made the burning feeling come back! I hate when that happens xD
Honestly, it wss like... twelve or fourteen years ago!
"Fire-res-ooh, buddy."
The fireman being visibly taken aback while the patient is just calm and cheerful is the best.
Kinda how these things go tbf, the person who’s hurt typically is more calm than those around them
This is just my experience so it's probably not that accurate
But you don't really think?
During an emergency and you're the one that's hurt, just laying on the ground.
It's like your mind has drifted away, like you know what happened, you know it's serious
But you don't really think about it y'know?
Like I remember looking at my feet going " huh, my shoes are dirty, I wonder if I can move my foot?"
Getting slightly annoyed at the people panicking around me constantly asking the same questions over and over again
You're there, you're aware but in a "meh I didn't die" kind of mental state
@@poseidon808 cause nobody wanna be a crybaby. gotta play it cool.... with yer pvc pipe
@@ThewhiteandorangeIt's more because in situations like LITERAL IMPALEMENT put to much pain through your nervous system and so adrenaline makes it so you don't flatline and go into total organ failure from said pain, like when I BROKE my arm I didn't even realize it was broken because I didn't think it hurt as bad as a broken bone would but when I got back to my Apartment and the adrenaline started coming off it started hurting more and I realized it was broken when my bike felt a million pounds and I couldn't get it up the stairs, same when I broke my Finger recently, when your body is put in to much pain it releases natural painkillers so you go into shock instead of just immediately flatlining to the pain!😒
The worst possible thing you could see is an emergency responder go from calm to “oh shit” as soon as he looks at you
“It doesn’t hurt at all”
Shock is one hell of a drug
Adrenaline* but same thing
Honestly wish I could say I had it but sadly I don't...
@@flightmaster529yup…agree. But man… the crash is a total bitch.
Or your nerves get utterly fucked and you can’t feel shit
Seriously
Shock being like: "Let's delay the pain response, cause we are not sure if we need to run really quick in a sec" xD
Yup. Very good survival tactic, honestly.
My friend split open his nut sack after crashing his bike as a teen. He said he vividly remembered the feeling of skin tearing, blood soaking his jeans and filling up his shoes, looking at the trail of blood behind him as he limped home but he felt no pain. He got home, his mom saw him and started screaming, and he blacked out. Going into shock literally allowed him to make it home where he could get help, the human body is crazy.
It has come in really handy for me before. Smashed my finger pretty bad it on a beam 130 ft in the air, nausea and light headedness managed to hold off until i got to the catwalk about 30 feet away. I was wearing a harness and safetied off, but better not to need it at all!!
I hit myself in the face with a rock when I was 19. Busted through my lip and shattered a tooth. Didn’t feel any pain until 2 hours later when the root canal was begun.
I guess thats why you never acknowledge a toddler fell 😂
"I would've driven myself to the hospital but I couldn't reach the reciprocating saw to cut the pipe off." You KNOW someone's said that.
Only people that don't own a cut-off wheel.
I know EMTs probably want to help people but the best thing they can do unless someone is literally unable to drive and has tried and failed is to just not do anything to avoid killing the injured with medical debt.

to a certain extent, it's what he needed to do. it's likely, given the state of the other guy, that the cop is who called it in, and he held it together just long enough
I don’t get it, why was he like that?
@@Kylies_creationsI’m sure in the real incident there was blood and tissue all over the ground and on the pipe. he had to hold the pipe until the paramedics showed up, probably feeling the blood and body squish as the pipe moves in his hand.

@@dubious6718 we all were, or to fall onto it
In an emergency situation, pain level is a clear indicator of how serious it is while having no pain at all is extremely worrisome...
Nerves can’t send pain if they’re detached or otherwise incapacitated entirely, after all!
Shock means you're kind of OK for a little...THEN you're not.
had a hole in my head as a child. I cried a lot at the beginning because ... well i slid head first into a wall but when we went to the doc she put those strips on my head and said if that happens again they would have to stitch it.
But overall the pain wasn't too bad
Hitting your head is just super weird because of how numb and dizzy you are everything just fells kinda shit.
Yeah, shock is a helluva drug. Helped an older woman once who had slipped off a curb, ankle completely broken and twisted sideways. I was telling people not to move her while we waited for an ambulance, to not make it worse. Fortunately i had my first aid trained husband with me. She kept insisting she needed to make her bus to get to the store, and couldn't process why that was really not going to happen for her, poor thing.
When I was 5 I slammed my thumb in the car door and at the emergency room I said my pain was a 2, the thing was I couldn't feel my thumb at all so of course I didn't feel the pain. I did scream when it happened though
"It actually doesn't hurt at all" most horrifying thing I've ever heard after someone has a big fall
exactly
Is it because the body sometimes goes into a state of shock after a massive injury, to protect the person from pain?
@@JennyJeong425 because if it's after a big fall, it could mean the person suffered a spinal injury that paralyzed them. likely permanently.
Ohhhhhhhhh shit..........so that's happening 3 times to me so far and it's never been to painful. I always just assumed that I have a hard head
@@JennyJeong425 either that or nervous system got fucked
if I ever have an injury like this I hope the people who help me are as funny as you.
"It actually doesn't hurt at all"
Every medical person's reaction: fuck that's not good
pain is how you body tells you you're alive but broken. no pain is when your body can't spare the energy
@@delphy2478Or you're paralysed. No nerves, no pain.
One time this happened while my thumb was gushing blood. I put it under water and when I tell you the SECOND I put it out of under the water it continued gushing. It actually didnt hurt at first until I came to my mom and realization started setting in and I began to faint
I either have a stupid amount of pain tolerance or my body doesn't send it like others do, but I somehow went through getting my big toe anesthetized with only a slight intake of breath when I was told that most scream. Well, I'm different. Fine by me, probably not the doctors though.
I had an accident 10 years ago while ice skating. My knecap popped off and back on. I menaged to WALK to the hospital (it was pretty close, like 0,5 km walk) and then I sat down in ER. It didn't even hurt that much so I was waiting calmly. After... 3h they asked me to come in and WOW that pain was something
"It actually doesn't hurt at all."
Yeah give it an hour, suddenly you'll feel it.
And tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the next day, and the next
Literally me after overturning my foot in school sport and just keep running with some light jumps in it 2 hours later when i was back home fuuuuuuck it hurts so bad and the best is my grandma told and asked me to take me to hospital (should have listened ) and I was like nah I’m good end of the story she had to drive me to the hospital 😂
yeaaaah i remember saying "That doesnt hurt" just for the Doctor to rearrange my bone so it can heal properly, which HURT.
The golden hour
I was rear-ended on the interstate and I felt fine the day of the crash but the next day, I was hurting so bad I just carefully got myself on the floor while my mom called for a paramedic.
Real glad the officer didn't pull the pipe down with him. I was waiting for the blood splatter.
I mean best lession in life is if your not a doctor whos armed with proper equipment never try to pull any object out of the would. It is hurting the patient but also holding the blood in.
@@thewhitewolf58 Yup. You can live a surprisingly long time with a giant piece of pipe/branch/rebar/etc through your abdomen. Way longer than you can once you pop the cork, at least.
yup, I was expecting the officer to fall forward
Involuntary seppuku.
😂 And the patient screaming in pain
“The good news is that you are going to have a roommate in the ambulance” I almost lost it!!! ( and almost woke my husband in the process, lol
"No, really! It doesn't hurt."
"OK, what _does_ it feel like?"
"Well it.... it.... Oh. Oh no...."
Yeah, that's the most worrying part. For all intents and purposes, something like this he should be either screaming his head off, or completely unconscious due to the brain going, "I'm putting you to sleep for BOTH our sakes."
The fact that he's awake, alert, in ZERO pain, and can hold a regular conversation like he didn't just ram PVC pipe through his leg is likely a result of nerve damage, mainly the nerves in the area being completely obliterated, which is bad...or paralysis, which is worse.
And no, adrenaline wouldn't be the saving grace here, as it would only work up until the injured party realized that they'd been injured. People can walk around with horrific wounds that don't start hurting until they realize they've been hurt...and then the pain kicks in all at once, because adrenaline had been masking it up until then.
@@sergeantassassin3425 It very depends on what it hits.
I've heard impalements, and even gunshots, can be not much more painful than being punched if vital organs and nerve clusters are missed.
It obviously still hurt in some positions otherwise the officer wouldn't have needed to hold the pipe.
This was literally 11-year old me when my leg got impaled by a tree. I was running, then suddenly couldn’t move, couldn’t figure out why my leg was stuck to a tree? Yanked my leg away, saw the fucking branch in my leg, and went “huh, okay. Well it’s not that bad, right? Cause it doesn’t hurt”. Turned around, started walking home, and then it started hurting. Like, a lot. My poor little cousins were so shocked when they found me lmao. I tried to keep it cool, was like “oh hey gang. Mind getting an adult for me? I’m sorta in pain here” while my leg was starting to burn and I was trying really hard not to cry in front of the kids. I was super proud I didn’t cry too. Joke’s on me, I was so distracted by the pain I didn’t notice the involuntary tears. Or maybe my brother was just fucking with me when he said he saw me crying lmao what else are little brothers for
@sergeantassassin3 I didn't know adrenaline worked completely like that, I knew it could nullify the pain but not that it lasts until the injured realizes they're hurt, I mean I should've learned this due to continuing to play basketball for 20 minutes straight before I realized I was bleeding from having smashed my finger nail.
@@FearTheStoryteller It depends. Sometimes people can be hurt severely, know it, and because of the situation they're in, adrenaline will completely numb the pain. If a person believes they're in a life-or-death situation, they can tank ungodly amounts of punishment, as the brain recognizes that survival is paramount. Assessment of injuries can wait until you're out of danger.
It does vary, of course, by the severity of, number of, and type of injuries sustained.

We drove her to the L&D department of the closest hospital with everyone in the back of the ambulance by her feet just waiting for that baby. She did not give birth in the ambulance that night, which was a relief.
@@GhostBear3067 nice dodge. I had one a couple years ago that was saying she was having contractions but was otherwise presenting well without too much discomfort. We arrived at the hospital, were escorted slowly up to L&D, and then given a room. She stood up and walked to the bed.
As we step out the doc walks inside past us and IMMEDIATELY sticks her head out of the door and calls for a nurse ASAP. Less than 40 seconds later the patient delivered the baby completely.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849because him falling while holding the pipe could have made that injury worse? I'm guessing? Which, it's true, but also "oh god I do not know how to handle holding a pipe that's impaled a human" is pretty reasonable.
@@deathXbyXlight Yeah that's my thoughts. I personally do NOT do well with blood and open organs and stuff. So any accident where the injuries are really bad, I'm less helpful as someone nearby. I can totally empathize with that cop's inability to manage that kind of trauma.
My 2 year old got the top of her finger chopped off to the first knuckle, just hanging there by a little bit of flesh. After her initial scream, she got really calm and quiet. My teenager was holding her finger together with some pressure as we drove to the ER and I kept asking if she was still awake and alert because she was so silent. When we got to the ER, they were able to bring us back to triage within a few minutes. The nurse was so happy and nice and said Let's take off that cloth and take a look. When I did I watched this miniscule look pass over his face before he snapped right back into "happy and calm". I could tell he hasn't actually expected to see her finger cut off even though I was very clear about the damage. The DR he called over did the same kind of look and then she was also acting very happy and calm. They were so sweet to my kid and their attitudes helped my baby to continue to stay calm.
We had to go back to the waiting area for about 30 minutes until we could get a room and I'm sitting them holding my kids, keeping the finger elevated with some pressure on it but it wasn't obvious what I was doing. A few people asked what was wrong because we just looked like a mom cuddling a calm and healthy kid. The whiney adult who was sitting behind me and gripping about the wait finally stopped talking when they overheard me explain that her finger got chopped off.
ER waiting room conversations usually are "I can top that..."
I have a similar story, I was being a dumb 10-11 year old and the scissors I was playing with slipped. Tip of my finger was cut off and had to go get it reattached.
After the initial pain it didn't actually hurt much, and I got ice cream after!
And you aren’t going to say HOW it got chopped off?? Playing with a knife? Example gone wrong? Curiosity gone wrong???
Let's just say ADHD and rubber chair handles meant I found the hollow point of the handle and tried to make a secret compartment to hide candy in. With scissors.@@AlaskaKatt

Shock is one hell of a drug, well more so the adrenaline
@@notchs0son I don't know what the correct term for what you mean is but in ER shock is not what you mean. "Shock is a critical condition brought on by the sudden drop in blood flow through the body. Shock may result from trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, an allergic reaction, severe infection, poisoning, severe burns or other causes. When a person is in shock, his or her organs aren't getting enough blood or oxygen." You can suspect shock visually by noticeable paleness of the victim.
@@notchs0son Could be a little nerve damage as well. I cracked a tooth and the nerve was exposed. They didn't believe me until they saw for themselves and were shocked I wasn't writhing in pain.

I asked him about getting shot and the various other injuries he accrued while on his tour and he basically said that if you get shot and it hurts, you're generally gonna be okay. If you get shot and feel nothing, its extremely likely you're going to die.
I could only imagine the things your brother has seen and had to do.
I thank your brother for his service.
What if you get shot in the knee and feel nothing?
@@blacktemplar2377 The knees are some of the worst spots to get shot due to the arteries in it
@@NightShinerStudio yeah but like, what if you put a tornikit on it
@@blacktemplar2377 I'm assuming it might help a little. It just really depends on the damage
Being able to turn a traumatic event into a funny video is the ultimate form of content creation
This is why I could never work in emergency field. A man has to know his limitations!
I deal more with animals, but for me it’s toenails. Blood, abscesses, 💩, 🤮, no problem. Torn toenails and I’m outta there.
And yes I am mocked severely for it.
When my paramedic school instructors found out I have an identical twin they tried to get me to get him into the program as well so they could schedule us into the same psych rotation, but my brother cannot handle ANY body fluids. Even sweat and TEARS get him woosie, it is really sad actually.
EMS isn’t for everyone -Retired EMT
I know my limitations well, it’s 100 feet of my ex girlfriend’s property line of her house or place of business, or 200 yards of a school or balloon stand 😊
@@briannarvaez203 Did you not need to get some medical experience at an ER or something like that during training? That's how it works where I live so they can have some idea of what they're going to see.
"Fire resc- ohhh" always gets me
I've watched this 4 times & only NOW realize the victim impaled himself on the PVC pipe the cop had been holding upright. Couldn't figure out why the cop fainted. Glad he didn't fall on the victim
thought it was another story of "i fell onto this random object that is shoved up my a**", tbh. unless that is what this is. i'm really lost.
I still haven't figured out why the cop fainted. From seeing the injury?
And/or smelling the injury through the hollow pipe. 🤢🤮
@@mele4827Blood probably
It was probably a vasovagal syncope
You know you are in trouble, when the EMT doesn't even bother asking you "what's the problem"
More often, what they want to ask is 'How the actual _F*^K_ did you manage to do this??' but they're not allowed to word it that way~
The officer was sensitive... So it shows he was a considerate cop.... Hope he has maintained his heart...
Yeah thats something that worries me too, i think about that a lot for many people.
"Good news is the cops are gonna cover the bill for this ambulance ride"
The wave and the "Hi" got me. :)
one time when i was getting put into an ambulance, i waved at the people walking by. found out from friends later on that my wave really unnerved them??? i wasnt even visibly hurt, i had a stomach infection
@@mmmhhm Probably would have been less unnerving if you'd been screaming in agony. Waving cheerfully while getting into an ambulance is the kind of thing you'd expect an Addams to do.
@@mmmhhm next time just scream that you have to take a shit at the bystanders so you can really confuse them
You would be amazed at how many of my patients do this on 911’s. It’s actually hilarious and is often a huge relief
@@mmmhhm stomach infection suck
So, I can absolutely confirm this happens more often than civilians would like to know Jason. I have a story involving a woman and a small tree. Same situation, but she did not even realize the tree had impaled her in that general vicinity. She was prone and only complaining of some slight upper back pain after falling from a ladder and meeting the offending tree. I had to be the one to break the news to her that she had a new appendage in an area she definitely should not have one. God bless and stay safe out there brother.
😱😱😱😱😱😱 No no no no no no!
I saw this once during clinicals. Fell off a ladder and impaled through the torso. Really does happen more often than you’d think
@@buyingscratchoffticketsunt5750. Like we often say- Usually you don't ACCIDENTALLY wind up with foreign objects in your rear end, but occasionally it happens that way. Spend enough time in emergency medicine and you will see wonders not seen elsewhere.
happened to me, fell 17 feet off a homemade zipline, wind was knocked out of me and that was pretty much it. Couldnt move my arm very well so I just went inside once I caught my breath. Mom almost had a stroke cause my Humerus was sticking through my shoulder and I had no clue lol
Man if I ever needed help I would definitely want this guy to be there his energy makes me feel better already
This guy is such a talented actor lol.
I can't stop watching his video's.
Dude fell on something, is lying down, and feels no pain. Either dude is on a gnarly adrenaline trip, or he's paralyzed. damn
*Edit:
As a Christian, I understand the commandment of not using the Lord's name in vain, but are y'all THAT sensitive to forms of expression?? Y'all are wild'n 🤣
*Edit:
I decided to do some more research, some consider "God damn" a sin, most don't, the Bible isn't really 100% clear on what forms of social expression is considered using Lord's name in vain, so I just changed it altogether. Now go find something productive to do, sheesh 🙄
Don't blaspheme
Or somehow it pierced the subcutaneous layer and avoided all major blood vessels and organs. Freak of nature incident, with a very quick surgery and recovery. Looks gnarly though.
There was one tv "stranger than fiction" episode about a man who tripped off some steps and fell on a steel garden stake, which skewered him all the way through the torso. Lucky guy was released from the hospital later that day with little just a few stitches. The blunt end of the stake literally pushed his organs out of the way as it penetrated him.@@roetemeteor
@@xxyy1318shut up 😂
Its shock
This pretty much happened to me. When my lung collapsed the ambulance crew rushed me straight into an emergency surgery room. They cut me open almost straight away in there so they could reinflate my lung. I'd been panicking at home but by that point I'd started cracking jokes. I hadn't noticed but one of the ambulance crew, a trainee, had got very quiet in the corner and began turning a bit green. Anyway I lean over to the left so I can see inside my own body, it's a vulgar combination of yellows and whites and reds and it made me feel woozy to say the least. I commented on it all and next thing I know ambulance trainee has to leave the room to avoid nearly passing out. When my partner had to leave the room she went for a vape outside and saw him throwing up in a bin.
That chest tube insertion gets some people
I still remember the sheer look of panic when I asked a cop on scene to place some EKG electrodes for me on an OD.
Weird. I've used narcan and an AED 10x more than anyone in our EMS or fire dept. Something about getting on scene before them 9 times out of 10 I guess.
Roommate in the ambulance just got me dying
My grandfather an EMT the one thing most common thing he tells me is keeping a sense of humor to help patients when transporting them to the hospital to keep they mind distracted on something els.
Worked with a guy who could handle anything. Except snot... Least bit hanging here or there, he was retching. Wasn't a huge thing until AIRBAGS! Because yeah, they literally knock the snot outta ya...
Pepper spray as well, you'll be having uncontrollable fluid come out of 5 of the orifices on your face in no time.
They can knock a wee bit more than snot out.
Yikes. I have chronic sinusitis. I'm a constant snot fountain.
Put him as the standby medic when Law Enforcement does their pepper spray exposure and grab some popcorn.
Same, can't deal with slime, snot or poop. Blood, urine, pus, vomit, decubiti or bones, all fine with me but cough up some slime and I'm running.
“A roommate in the ambulance” 😂😂 DEAD OF LAUGHTER
idk how this guy manage to look so sick and so in control that easily
When I use to work in a lab drawing blood, it was always the men that passed out! The bigger the man, the harder and faster they went down. One day, a 6'3", must have weighed close to 300lbs man had his blood drawn, stood up and passed out on my 4'9", under 100lbs coworker!! He was flat out on top of her. I could hear her yelling for help but only see her arms flailing about underneath the man. I couldn't budge him and had to grab an orderly walking down the hallway. We rolled him off her and both were ok!!
"only see her arms flailing about" 😂😭💀
Yup, that's one place where height is not on your side 😅
I kind of have a completely unsupported theory on this, purely coming from the source that my mom taught me to lie down whenever I feel faint no matter where I am or how embarrassing it may seem: since a lot of men are still raised with the idea that they shouldn’t show weakness, perhaps men on average are far less inclined to lie down before actually blacking out? I’ve never actually properly blacked out BECAUSE I always lie down when I start feeling that coming on, so … thanks mom! Whenever I have to go get my blood taken or just anything involving needles I always ask to lie down during it and to give me five minutes or so to recover before standing up; every nurse I’ve ever had has been very understanding and appreciative of the fact that I know how my body reacts 😂
This is so true, I've heard the biggest burliest man is the most likely to faint. My brother works building window frames and all kinds of doors, sometimes you get nicked and cut nothing serious, but his super told him that a guy working cut his finger. He saw him swaying and he told the others to grab him but they thought he was playing, and yeah the guy went down like a sack of potatoes. 😅
@@petloverspy That's likely very true. Thankfully (in a sense) for my dad, just *existing* has taught him that clinging to pride like that just makes everything worse since the moment he was *born.* So when he walked out of the doctors office and felt his vision narrow with sort of internal timer until shut-down, he immediately took the few steps needed to where he knew a chair was and sat down. Still passed out, but at least he didn't fall over.
I also suspect that women are generally less likely to faint at the sight of blood than men because we're used to bleeding on a regular basis.
Whenever I feel pukey or pass-outey, ngl I look away periodically and think of something that makes me angry. Also that my knees are not locked and sniffing alcohol packets if I have them are clutch. Life in the trauma bay.
Thank you for your service!
Sniffing alcohol packets? to distract you temporarily I assume?
My friend and I used to volunteer for a hospital while we were in high school and one day I went to work at the lab and it was her first (and last) day working in the ER. When my Mum came to pick her up (she got out earlier) she was waiting 30ish minutes and finally just went in and asked for her and they said she was a patient and sent my Mum back thinking it was a mistake. x.x She had been standing there while they were doing a cast on a patient and just blacked out and hit her head on the cart on the way down. 🤕 She ended up working in the lab lol
Lol. My mom brought me (at about 16) to the ICU she worked at to drop off some paperwork and all it took for me to go down was a nurse poking her head around saying "There's blood dripping from his line."
Officer kept it together till more qualified help arrived. Then his brain noped out.
Your acting is beyond brilliant, it really feels like I'm watching three distinctly different people lol! I hope to see you in a bigger production some day, if that's ever your wish. You've definitely got the chops for it and then some.
They arent triplets?
You do really forget. What an awesome one man show.
Hey man... you ready for the witness to seriously FUCK your day up?
Also 100% agree.
Imagine being around this type of stuff all the time, God bless you guys
That cop will NEVER hear the end of the heckling from the FD…
Its true that when you see a rescuing figure your body gives up and you pass out
I was assisting in a surgery and my Mother whose a gynaecologist came in and as soon as i saw her i passed out after saying i can't stand any more. I was about to pass out because of the high amount of blood loss from the surgery but as soon as my mother came in my body was like okay im done
"Oh, thank God, Mom's here. Take over, Mom." _out_
“Well, good news you’re gonna have a roommate in the ambulance 😀”
got me rolling 💀
“He says it makes it feels better if I hold it”
My man’s holding it together way better then I ever could 😂
"Well, the good news is you're going to have a roommate in the ambulance." lol, that's great
This guy must be the best dad ever like he has so many stories to tell
"well, good news is you're going to have a roommate in the ambulance."
That line and delivery killed my.
I’ve only recently come across this channel but it’s fair to say I’m addicted
I mean the man is a comedian and gets his material by seeing people at their worst and dumbest moments.
Yeah he doesn't put them out nearly fast enough to keep up with my fix requirements 🤣
But thankful for the occasional bump😆
@@patriciatoomingtheplantpar2558 I’m busy going through the back catalogue 😎
I was waiting for the "It doesn't hurt because you're paralyzed"
I mean, hopefully it could just be shock, but paralysis is a real concern here yes
“Officer..?”
Says another emergency worker😂 those were the last words the officer ever heard
🤣🤣 the only thing missing was the scream of agony as the pipe moved when the officer fainted.
when the guy who is injured asks you if you're alright
"Well the good news is you're gonna have a roommate in the ambulance." Killed me. Genuinely laught out loud because of the timing. Congrats man that was awesome!
Yeah, I know the feeling of high adrenaline trips. The sad thing is when it finally wears off, I was screaming and crying once that happened 😅
Guaranteed this situation will come up again during the Cops VS Fire Dept annual softball game. “Hey Gary! You’re holdin that bat like a PVC pipe!”
Omg....seriously, I get it. My daughter went to the emergency room because she had an infected wound on the back of her wrist about the size of a quarter. I went with her. I was asked if I wanted to step out, that they would numb her up and Lance it. I said no, I'm fine. I watched as the cut her open to drain the wound and I got light headed. Totally had no idea this would happen to me. I looked away and stayed seated. Woof...must be a subconscious thing.
I once got light-headed just seeing my great half uncle in a hospital bed after a surgery. I didn't see any blood, nor the dressings, but maybe it was the faint smells of a wound and just seeing someone in a weaker state than normal that got me. My vision was nearly all white, like a thick fog, and I was super lightheaded. I was told to sit, leaning forward, and drank a soda in small sips for 15 minutes before I felt better. There wasn't any water, which is what my aunt preferred to find, but maybe the sugar also helped.
When the camera panned over to the officer, I could not stop laughing 😂😂
I loved the "yeah, are you alright man?" from the patient. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol, most of the city guys I’ve worked with weren’t turned off by gore. Stinkers or hoarders were a different story though. That 5” layer of brown stuff that’s crunching under your feet isn’t mud. And yes, the walls are moving.
What kind of gear did they have for the hoarders? I feel like you'd need some kind of protective suit or something
@@devinward461 often didn’t know it was a hoarders house until the call came in. There wasn’t any initial gear. We’d pick up on the “frequent flyer” houses though and smirk when the rookies got sent there.
@@thatfishingnoob people who live like that were really failed by someone I think
In all honesty, I’m the same way & I’m a civilian. I can handle anything but creepy crawlers.
@@vappyreon1176 95% of the time it was mental illness, when it was to that extent.
Others times that were lesser, the people didn’t really care to clean up after their animals and were usually younger. It was always mind boggling.
Falling off ladders sucks 🤣 good thing they had prompt medical attention lol
A pipe going in the butt in a not fun way hurts even worse.
“Good news is you’re gonna have a roommate in the ambulance!” 😂😂😂
You're destined for greatness.
I am so glad for pros like this person. Makes me feel better knowing they're out there
“Actually doesn’t hurt at all”
Yes that would be because of something called shock and adrenaline and once those wear off well you're gonna be saying curse words that even sailors won't repeat
Edit: I was just being captain obvious with this comment why does it have this many likes?
as my dad would say "walk it off"
Yeahh my grandfather had his leg mostly snapped off in a work accident (he was a boiler maker, someone dropped a beam, his leg was held on by a little bit of muscle/skin) and he said he didn't feel a thing, and while in shock was like "I should hold on to this so I don't lose it" and folded it over his lap. He said he calmly called for his brother (who was the boss man on this particular job) and waited patiently, thinking "idk why this doesn't hurt it seems like this should hurt". He said as soon as he heard his brothers voice he blacked out and woke up in the hospital the next day in the worst pain hes ever been in in his life-
If it's shock, it's bad. If it's nerves being severed, it's probably worse.
There are also various levels of pain tolerance. My husband and I both got 2nd degree burns on our hands (loooooong story). I tended to his hand for 3 days before he couldcare for it himself. It was an ordeal. Whereas when I was burned it was a swear word and I kept working. He didn't notice I had been burned till nearly a week later after all my skin had closed up.
Genetics have something to do with it to. My dad had 3 aortic dissections. Each time he drove himself home for a homecooked meal before calling an ambulance.
People are just built diff.
"Even sailors won't repeat" 🤣 good way to put it. Put some stuff in my shoulder out of place and thats exactly what happened after returning home from the ER
I’m reminded of Scrubs: “Oh lord, she’s getting woozy. Show him your hand-nail. Show him your hand-nail!”
Oh lord she's getting woosy not fainting

😂 usually the other person turns 20 shades of white, then pukes before they pass out.
Lately it’s been from the smell of decomp, it had been a long LONG 48 and we hadn’t eaten yet so we were waiting for the coroner sitting in the ambo eating sandwiches and saw 1 detective eat 💩 after he puked in the bushes. Never gets old 🤷🏼♀️
We are a different breed us EMS folks…these are so hilarious 😆 I totally relate ❤
"Dispatch... Imma need another ambo. Thaaaankkssss...."
I personally used to be very good with injuries, open wounds, and the ability to help people in these circumstances. But after a few very major incidences of my own, I’ve become very susceptible to shock. It’s not something that I am able to change, even though I have spent a lot of time trying to change it. So with that being said, I find it very fascinating that other people have the ability to deal with the situation as well as they do.
I absolutely cannot handle gore on TV or in movies. I had a panic attack so bad watching midsommer my bf had to walk me out and calm me down from one scene. But my grandmother worked in the lab at a hospital and we were prone to injury so I knew basic field med. All of my friends would come to me with broken hands and smashed fingers and gaping wounds and I wouldn't even flinch. Didn't even know I had a gore problem till my late teens 😅
