In 2016, my 86 yr old father showed up for Christmas Day festivities in slippers. I initially laughed, but when he pulled up his pant leg I saw his calf and ankle are bright red, super swollen, and shiny. Immediately I thought ‘blood clot’, and told him he needed to go to the ER. He refused to go until after presents were opened and dinner was had. We rushed through bc I was so worried about him, while he kept telling me “Lighten up! It’sChristmas!”. The ER was so empty, lol. Guess most people shared Dad’s attitude. He went straight back to a room, no wait for ultra sound, no wait for labs. He was admitted with 3 DVTs. 🙄 He did receive quick care, though!
@@carolgibson-wilson4354 it was a memorable Christmas! He was in the hospital for several days, joking with the nurses and keeping everyone laughing. Dad passed in 2021 just shy of 92, with his fun loving attitude until the end.
Not an ER story because we never made it there, but here’s one to go with the relative who died at the table: Thanksgiving 2010 my elderly aunt was lying on the sofa after dinner and when I walked past she looked up at me and said, “Gotta go.” We got her up and walked her to the bathroom, while she kept trying to turn around, and when we sat her down she… went. Turned out her “gotta go” did NOT mean to the bathroom!
I've been to the ER enough times, including most holidays, that now the family won't allow me into the kitchen at holiday gatherings. I'm to sit and look ornamental and watch the game, or whatever on tv. Because we ain't going to the ER on a holiday any dang more.
Things I’ve been to the ER on a holiday for: Extreme stomach pain and vomiting, falling down stairs (twice), spilled boiling turkey juice in my lap, uncontrollable violent muscle spasms, car accident.
LOL my brother is an ER doctor, i am a RN nurse, hospitals are crazy LOL___i was cutting my toenails and accidently cut a chunk out of my baby toe, it was bleeding all over for about 4 hrs, quarter size drops on blood on the floor, i told my husband i rather bleed to death, than die of boredom waiting in the ER for 6 hrs to get a couple stitches. I just wrapped my foot up with paper towels, tape, walmart bags around my foot to sleep at night, so the blood wouldnt get on my bedding, i limped around slightly bleeding for 3 days. It healed just fine.
My mom choked on a piece of turkey one thanksgiving and I had to do the Heimlich on her. My boyfriend at the time thought it was all staged to impress him, and I was appalled that he thought that my mother would purposely choke just so I could do the Heimlich to impress him 😂
Hope that turkey boyfriend is long gone! I've done child Heimlich maneuver on two people so far. My cousin's son crammed a toddler hotdog down his throat without chewing. His mom had no idea what to do, so I used my new certification to clear his airway. The second was my nephew. He dove across the highchair tray to the kitchen table, where I was still cutting up pieces of apple, and crammed it down his throat (yes, I think it's a family genetic trait or something...). Recently renewed training in first aid, Heimlich maneuver, and CPR to the rescue again. To be honest, small children are more at hazard than adults. My uncle used Heimlich maneuver at a union and open shop dinner for electricians... Now, there was no love lost between the two groups. My uncle had learned the technique from Dr. Heimlich, with whom he was acquainted, sometime in the mid 1970s. The union guys thought he was attacking the choking union head... It very nearly turned ugly. The union head who was saved that day began to question the strong arm tactics that were being used by the unions against the open shops after being saved from choking to death by a non-union worker.
“Do you know how far you have to slip to get from the bathroom to the kitchen?” In my case, not far at all. My house is over 100 years old, and I’m not even sure indoor plumbing was an original feature. So, we have only one bathroom, and it’s connected to the kitchen. (Laundry is in the basement directly below the kitchen sink, so all of the plumbing is in just a small section of the house, all right next to each other.) And, here’s a real thing that actually happened to me: One day, I had just gotten out of the shower, and I don’t remember why, but I walked out of the bathroom without a towel while still wet. As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I slipped and fell, and I just BARELY missed landing butt-first onto a bag of potatoes that had been sitting next to the door. I thought to myself, “Wow! That was close! Glad I don’t have to explain how I ended up with a potato up my ass! Maybe there’s actually some truth behind those crazy stories after all!” 😆 But, as for the guy in the story? I’d honestly be more curious as to why he had Ms. Dash with him in the shower than how it ended up where it did.
Our first Thanksgiving in our new house,we had a whole lot of family over. I am a family physician and my sister is a nurse. When dinner was ready and we called everyone to the table, my father in law stood up from the couch and turned to head toward the table. At that moment he fell. Everyone was at the table and he said he only hurt his knee. So i got a spare wheelchair from the basement and sat him in it and brought him to the table. I gave him some Tylenol for the pain. Then I served dinner. My father in law ate dinner , had wine, the dessert and coffee. We cleared the table and as I was pulling him away from the table was the first time I noticed the position of his leg. My father in law was sitting in one of my husband's old wheelchairs and holding his leg externally rotated and slighly flexed. I said that it looked like he broke his hip. He kept insisting that only his knee hurt. So i put him in my car and , leaving a houseful of company, I took him to a stand alone urgent care place where I had moonlighted for 5 years by then. I knew all of the staff. We quickly got an xray that confirmed the broken hip. I called our local hospital ED to find out who was on call for ortho. I called the ortho and he said he was in house and would directly admit my father in law and could operate that night. Unfortunately, I told him he could not operate tonight because my father in law was as far from NPO as he could be. The ortho laughed and said he would post him for the morning. I drove my father in law over to the hospital and got him settled and went home to clean up from dinner. That was an avoidance of ED story for an actual emergency.
2:56 I think the implication is that she felt the heart attack coming and said the most ironic thing she could think of for the situation. (Or maybe she was truly thankful that this was the way she got to go).
No one, and I mean NO one, has a salt shaker in the bathroom. If you use Epsom Salts in your bath, they are in a zipseal bag. If you use Himalayan pink salt in your DIY body scrubs , they are in a scoopable container and usually assembled/concocted in the kitchen. I don't care how budget friendly or spontaneous you think you are. Official "Intimate health" items for front and back door are far cheaper than a trip to the emergency room. Yes, even if you are on a budget. Stop using vegetables and everything else for the sake of the medical staff who have to remove it alone.
I was a small town dispatcher. My EMTs got sent on a call around the time the turkey should have been done. The dispatchers I was relieving didn’t know how to tell if the turkey was done. They asked the EMTs via radio how to tell it was done. I showed up and they asked me to check it. Then dinner time came, we just got our plates and the phone rings. Another medical call. Driver radioed with a mouth full of turkey that they were en route (nearly choking on the turkey) I too had a mouth full of turkey but mastered the tuck and talk
Civilian here… How has the tuck and talk not been to Aut as standard two little kids ever since we could breathe? 😆/HJ thank you and your coworkers for all of the work that you do and your service to your community. 🫂 🤝 💜
I've been to three different ERs on Christmas day, and the wait times and time to sit in a room we're insane. Those hospitals were packed!! We thought they'd be dead, too, but we were so wrong.
Ah, yes. I feel at home hearing this. I went to the ER last year due to feeling so much pain on my shoulder that any movement was terrible and I couldn’t even sleep it off either because all my sleep positions press on my arm / shoulder. This year, my cat decided she was next and we took her to the emergency vet since she threw up blood after vomiting multiple times.
@@solarlass5807 luckily both were fine. Shoulder they said it was tendinitis, had me with a sling for a couple days and pain medication. My cat, the vet told me she might have thrown up too many times and that the blood was from that and they pushed around her stomach but no pain for her. We’re giving her medication for a couple days and I’m hoping that’s it. On her paperwork “it’s not atypical for her to vomit occasionally however today was more dramatic.” Vet staff also all loved her
My cousin nearly died one Thanksgiving due to an unknown allergy to pine nuts, which grandma put on the rice pilaf... Fortunately, the doctor lived across the street from them... Crisis averted (though they had to track down his daughter who had borrowed the car that had his medical bag in it...).
I was having a medical issue the day before thanksgiving and called my doctor. And well now I am waiting on my medicaiton still for it. But in the meantime I am doing everything he told me to do till I get it. No ER for me so far. But I will tell you that you never know how much gas you might have inside your body cavities until you get sweet relief from it and then all your ribs and other body cavity areas where it is gone hurts so bad after due to the pressure that was there and now is gone. I feel like I have been hit with a bat in my ribs.
You're gonna have a field day with me when I see you in June. I teach First Aid, CPR, AED yet when I was faced with a real life situation in my class I froze and didn't know what to do, even though I had just taught my class what to do less than 24 hours earlier. (It was a 2 day SFA course)
At Red Cross I was showing how to do CPR, Annie got accidently decapitated when i pulled her head back. I advised not to do .that with living patients _ CPR wouldn't work. Lol
Just because you're trained doesn't mean you're prepared to use that training... A young nursing student was shadowing a nurse. When she saw the nurse insert the needle in my dad's arm, she fainted. The nurse grabbed her, and I got her into a chair so the nurse could continue prepping my dad for surgery... The nursing student was horribly upset because she fainted. I told her it was okay, but she commented that I hadn't fainted. I explained that I got allergy shots, 3 shots every two weeks, from age 27 to age 52... Experience matters. Don't get down on yourself during your first emergency. We were well known in the emergency room, our motto being, "Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back." Having weathered medical emergencies from an early age, I am better prepared than most for the crazy things that happen.
The emergency room was full on Thanksgiving when I brought in my 91 year old neighbor with bloodclots up her leg. Unfortunately, the level of staffing was incredibly low. We arrived at 10:30 and she was checked in at 4:30. I rushed home and put in the green bean casserole, arriving at my brother's house, just in time for dinner...
Dude is it so bad that the first thing I thought when I saw the tampons in the food , I thought ‘ ick’ since it was proven common brands have high levels of heavy metals in them. Gives me enough anxiety thinking about the years of using them… why would you put them in your food? Do you just like want to get sick? If it was just generic cotton maybe it would be fine but even then think of the pesticides and such.😅
Retired Certified Nurse-Midwife here. The last practice I worked at had three of us CNMs. Our rotation: One week on call (yes, 24/7), one week of office, one week off. Great schedule. When I was on call and a holiday fell, I knew that there would not be any false calls. People, especially pregnant women and their families, will NOT come into L&D on a holiday unless it is the REAL DEAL. Rarely had to go in on a holiday, especially Thanksgiving or Christmas, unless there was going to be a baby or even more rarely, some other sort of emergency involving life and death. Sometimes I am even crazy enough to miss working. LOL.
I actually had to go to ER after eating myT-giving dinner. Apparently, my appendix decided to act up. Surgery that evening. Oh and as a party favor i threw a clot to my right lung.
Two years ago my thanksgiving dinner was served by the hospital kitchen … because my gallbladder crapped out on the Sunday before thanksgiving 😢 I try to be extra nice to the hospital staff working holidays as none of us really want to be there (about thirty year s before that, I gave birth on Christmas Eve)
My neighbor called me Thanksgiving morning. She said, "My leg hurts, and it's a little swollen." IT WAS BLUE! I called the paramedics, who were able to administer clot breakers, and she's now on medicine to prevent blockages. I told her she's not allowed to do that again. She's 92...
When I was stationed at Ft. Carson a man came into the ER complaining of severe abdominal pain. He told the staff he had a hum in his stomach. The psychiatrist on call decided to humor the man and listened to his abdomen with a stethoscope. Sure enough, his stomach was indeed humming. An X-Ray of the abdomen revealed a vibrator located above the anal sphincter. After surgery the man said he and his girlfriend had been drinking heavily. He passed out from the alcohol. He awoke hours later in extreme pain. He said when he awoke his girlfriend, and her vibrator gone.
I was working security when the ER tech called me, laughing. I went over and she said “Watch Mike’s (x-ray tech) face when he takes that patient to x-ray.” Mike rolled past with a confused look on his face. After taking the patient back to his room. He asked what the heck was the buzzing sound. The guy claimed his girlfriend slipped a running vibrator up his back door. Buzzzzz x-ray click. Buzzzzz
As far as patients coming in for care the days after the holidays... Back in the 80s I worked as a medical assistant in physician offices. There would be a big rush of patients at the final hour on the final day before a holiday. And then another big rush the first day after the holiday. 😊
One time I was in the ER, and the nurse could find a vein anywhere. The only place she found was in my pointer finger, so I had a very loose IV in my pointer finger the entire time they had me admitted.
Why isn't it tradition to preempt Thanksgiving-Overeating with a laxative; right before dinner, after grazing all the hors-d'oeuvres & appetizers, take a dose of some "strong stuff" & put the wheel in Fate's Hands: have dinner & a depressurization after, blow an airlock.
My sister cut her thum a bit while using a madilin during Thanksgiving. Luckly we have family members who are doctors who looked at it and seen she didnt need stiches as it was just superfical cut.
Buy a slotted wooden pot rack ahhh cant remember what its called. The kind used to keep pots from scorching counter tops. I use one to charge my laptop. Works great at keeping it cooled down

I’m a Hospice aide and I swear… it’s Always when you move ‘em!!! 😬 🤦♀️
That's so odd because I know someone that passed away and the family said they asked for their shoes because they had to go.
She died on the throne....heavens!
To all the dudes out there (including Steveio), clean tampons do not smell fishy! They're clean! It's compressed cotton balls! The taco tastes fine!
tampons do have a bunch of dubious chemicals in them however and are a fire hazard so still not a good idea
This was the best comment of the day!😂
Just don't let a guy do it. Guaranteed he'll get it wrong. 😁
What's more distressing is that they had been left to brown and caramelize on at least one side, in the final shot.
Just the look of that pitiful turkey about sent me to th ER😂😂😂
I've been to the ER enough times, including most holidays, that now the family won't allow me into the kitchen at holiday gatherings. I'm to sit and look ornamental and watch the game, or whatever on tv. Because we ain't going to the ER on a holiday any dang more.

Thank you for the rest of the story. Glad to hear it was nothing serious for either one of you. 😁
Tampons would be a very expensive way to soak up grease! At least they were new ones.
People are weird.
I wish our emergency vets would charge just 100$ ! Ours is 500$ and thats just the office visit and not any tests
I was at the er this year for thanksgiving because of a food allergy that I’m deadly allergic to. Onions are what I’m deadly allergic to
My cousin nearly died one Thanksgiving due to an unknown allergy to pine nuts, which grandma put on the rice pilaf... Fortunately, the doctor lived across the street from them... Crisis averted (though they had to track down his daughter who had borrowed the car that had his medical bag in it...).
One of my worst asthma attacks happened on Christmas day. I spent the night in the ER hooked to machines.

He asked what the heck was the buzzing sound. The guy claimed his girlfriend slipped a running vibrator up his back door. Buzzzzz x-ray click. Buzzzzz
Had a patient come in on thanksgiving once after being stabbed in the eye…with the carving fork from the turkey. Yikes. 🍴🦃
That is a crazy story!! I can’t believe the Thanksgiving turkey was the cause of an injury.
As far as patients coming in for care the days after the holidays...
Back in the 80s I worked as a medical assistant in physician offices. There would be a big rush of patients at the final hour on the final day before a holiday. And then another big rush the first day after the holiday. 😊
@@wg8517 Same here.
One time I was in the ER, and the nurse could find a vein anywhere. The only place she found was in my pointer finger, so I had a very loose IV in my pointer finger the entire time they had me admitted.
Why isn't it tradition to preempt Thanksgiving-Overeating with a laxative; right before dinner, after grazing all the hors-d'oeuvres & appetizers, take a dose of some "strong stuff" & put the wheel in Fate's Hands: have dinner & a depressurization after, blow an airlock.
My sister cut her thum a bit while using a madilin during Thanksgiving. Luckly we have family members who are doctors who looked at it and seen she didnt need stiches as it was just superfical cut.
Why would you put baby carrots in there? D:
I was thinking she heard someone say use a carrot, but all she had were baby ones. My question now is.... do 27 babies make a whole carrot? 😂
Everyone knows the best way to soak up grease is to use Luvs😊
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Steve ❤
You too!
Why won't you come to grand rapids, mi!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
TWO Bob’s Burgers shots?! ❤️❤️❤️
Wait. Steven, why would she be thankful for Pepto Bismol? Isn't that for diarrhea?
Nausea, heartburns, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, hey! Pepto-Bismol!
@yudithcaron8053 wasn't there a commercial about it? Lol Seems like this lady needed Dulcolax or Senna or maybe a good, old fashioned enema.
@@yudithcaron8053the only thing pepto bismol does for me is induce vomiting 🤮
Can't wait for you to come back to Timonium, MD.

6:21 I was waiting for this kind of stories. Not disappointed, but I was expecting it to be a whole ass turkey up someone's bum.
I worked in a nursing home with a couple that bragged he got her pregnant with a turkey baster, LOL.
Coming to Ireland, I hear?!
Looking forward to this!
Counting the minutes ❤U Steve
I want to see your show, but you are not coming to Chicago. What do you have against Illinois?😢
Steve, I'd like to attend one of your shows, but your upcoming dates don't show anything within 100 miles of me!
Sir.... the last joke.... i ... i cant decide if i love it or hate it but boy that was a one stinky joke
I'm here for it
They're clean tampons, jeez. I actually don't see anything wrong with that.
Vag tastes like copper no?
Did you mean to write ‘stories’ instead of ‘stores’?
Not ok. Not professional. If you were my nurse - I would run screaming as any privacy would be null and void for your youtube channel. Really?!
Buy a slotted wooden pot rack ahhh cant remember what its called. The kind used to keep pots from scorching counter tops. I use one to charge my laptop. Works great at keeping it cooled down
A Trivet???🙂
