@@tylerisverygayoo4766 I haven't seen greys anatomy in 6 months and only wathed like 5 episodes AND I STILL remeber Dereks death and how Meredith reacted I want Mr.Mcdreamy back he was so nice and kind helping that lady with the dislocated hip leg problme
Every bad thing that can happen will happen on Grey's Anatomy. They have so many serious disasters, extreme injuries and the doctors seem to die all of the time. I would seriously reconsider working there or living within 5,000 miles from that hospital, city and doctors. I would move!
A friend of mine had major surgery last year and a bunch of us were on a schedule to help him out with day to day stuff as he recovered. My 'shift' was Thursday evenings. He's big into Grey's and it was my first time watching in years and literally every week, someone pivotal to the show or major plot development died. I would ask 'where's so and so?' dead... 'and so and so?' also dead. Jimminy crickets!
My first baby was 10 pounds on the nose. When my mom came to visit after I had her she walked in the room and saw me holding her and said, "Where's your baby? That's a 3 month old."
As an EMT, I was actually called out on a call for a woman in labor when I got there the Father comes running up to me saying something was coming out. I immediately went to check and saw the cord, I immediately put my hand in and never took it out till we rolled into the OR with her. She had a healthy baby girl.
Im looking at this whole scenario and thinking "what was the plan for resus for this baby - knowing that its likely compromised with a compressed cord for however many minutes???!!!"
Stephenee Armas you are just a first year intern. Have you passed your test yet. Lol to be a resident you need to have binged watched the show at least twice.
I have second hand PTSD from watching that C-section scene. I once saw a documentary about a woman who wasn't properly anesthesized during her cesarean delivery, she said it felt like wolves clawing their way into her abdomen and she was still suffering from terrible trauma and depression four years later. That Grey's anatomy scene is hands down the most cruel, gruesome and horrific scene they've ever had on the show, and I'm still upset every time I think about it.
My grandmother experienced it first-hand - doctors didn't believe she could feel it until she started moving her legs. She's seriously traumatised from it, and even 50 years later, we struggled to get her to have surgery to get cancer removed from her body. She did, and she's been cancer-free for three years now, but it comes up pretty regularly for her.
I had a prolapsed cord. When the nurse saw that my baby's heartbeat dropped, she went to check and see if everything was okay. She then told me that there would be a bunch of nurses rushing in and she asked all of my family to leave, including my husband. They rushed me to the ER to do an emergency C-section. Just like you said, the nurse had her hand inside me the whole time they were rolling me down to operating room to take the pressure off the cord. My OBGYN was able to deliver my daughter safely. I didn't know till the next day why I had to have an emergency C-section. That was the scariest moment of my life!
I had a prolapsed cord with my last. I remember being rolled to OR with the nurses hand still holding baby inside and them cutting as I was being put under. One of the scariest days of my life.
Anyone would have been pushy in that situation. But a doctor especially should know this is the worst thing he could be doing for her. She comes first, not her paranoia. He should choose for her, because she obviously can't put herself before her child.
@@noelleirina5628 Warren wasn't able to choose for her, because he was cut-hungry. After all, he killed a woman that way before. Honestly, the show treated Warren's actions throughout that season so ridiculously lightly, it's infuriating.
the situation may not have been realistic in the slightest, but can we acknowledge sarah drew's (actress for april) acting for this??? insanely good; this scene always gives me chills!!
parkersandrec EXACTLY. Like when she said “that looks real” talking about the contractions I screamed “YEAH THAT’S BECAUSE SARAH IS SUCH A GOOD ACTRESS”
In interviews she said that she was pregnant during this season. I think she also has mentioned that she went into labor a day or so after filming this episode 😂
I love that you point out the difference between vaginas and vulvas EVERY time someone tries to interchange them. For as much as people avoid the word "vagina," they usually seem physically repulsed by "vulva." Thank you for spreading knowledge to people without being condescending about it. 💖
God the more I find out about pregnancy and childbirth the more I know I NEVER want to go through it. I swear watching this I can feel my bits trying to curl up hide
@UCTuRMiY1W2CfMKh3g0EYHow nah, kids are gross. Pregnancy is gross. Not everyone sees motherhood as a magical thing. I love children, but I just don't want to risk my life to have kids. Call me selfish but I don't think it's worth it.
My midwife (who delivered my daughter 3 weeks ago, at home) told me about her experience once with a prolapsed cord. When she realized the cord was prolapsed, she got the mother into the back of the car on her hands and knees, bottom in the air, and had a warm cloth pressed against her. They called ahead to the hospital and the paramedics were waiting outside for them. Both mom and baby survived and are doing fine!
Wrong season that's season 11 this is season 12 the one that happened when she went premature labor was the one where her tv baby dies in her arms once again in season 11
Actually there was a guy that entered a hospital and said he was a doctor and I’m not sure but later in that day or days later someone found that he wasn’t a doctor. But he didn’t do anything wrong. When police asked why he did what he did he said that he knew what he was doing because he saw greys anatomy. (He wasn’t wrong 😂😂)
You can find that online, it’s in Portuguese from Brazil because it happened in Brazil but you can translate the language online if you are interested: www.google.pt/amp/s/extra.globo.com/casos-de-policia/jovem-que-se-disse-formado-por-greys-anatomy-preso-ao-se-passar-por-medico-21422967.html%3fversao=amp
I think the main reason April put emphasis on saving the baby instead of her was because she lost her first baby. She didn't want to go through that again.
Hearing Dr. Jones’s reaction to Ben performing this c section really reinforces the idea how impulsive and reckless Ben can be. It’s probably best he’s a firefighter now.
I was crying so hard during this episode especially because April already lost a baby because of Osteogenesis. I was yelling at the TV "YOU CANT KILL ALL HER BABIES LET HER HAVE ONE" I was mad lol
@@renbaker5124 OMG I honestly couldn't even imagine living with that!!! And this is coming from someone who has experienced a lot of severe pain in my lifetime!!!
I know they use older babies for practical reasons, but it's always so annoying as a viewer when the baby is very obviously several months old - especially when it's a premie or had some kind of trauma!
That was the funniest part of this video. My son was in 3m clothes very soon after birth; he was 22" long and over 4500g at birth (emergency c-section, I had a traumatic pregnancy but he was a week late). Now he's 4 years old and he's a 5T for shirts and 4T for pants. He'll be in a 6 before he turns 5.
@@JannaWillard Pfft. THat's nothing! My daughter is 3yo, and wears 5y for shirts, and 6-7 for pants. She has real life thunder thighs, and damn is she strong. She was standing with nothing but balance support when she was maybe 4 months old. I didn't let her do that often though, since the skeletal structure and whatnot shouldn't be subjected to prolonged sitting and standing when they are so young, but I did let her walk quite far with proper support.
"April is fine! The three month old that she also delivered is fine!" I'm DYING laughing right now! You're so informative and so funny at the same time- I love this channel!!!
Jake Carson I saw something for California (where I am from) I don’t know if it’s a real job permit thing or if it’s just a temporary one but it said it was 15 days
My neurosurgeon only uses light boxes. He doesn’t like the computer images. He’s very picky- a quality I really appreciate in the guy who’s going to play around in my brain.
The images printed out to place on the light box are just printed off computer images but worse because the computer ones (CT/MRI) can even be like a scroll through video where you can kind of see things presented in a dynamic way. Your neurosurgeon is just old school. I’m sure he’s a great doc but printed out images doesn’t make him or anyone superior.
I've worked in NS for 5 years. You want a doctor to be able to zoom or adjust contrast. Maybe gift him a 4k touch monitor? By and large, neuros are a special kind of person, but they will adapt if provided tools that work in line with existing habits.
My neurologist does the same! And he isn’t even old, he must be 30 something But in my country we don’t have very advanced screens available everywhere so maybe he’s just more comfortable having the physical images rather than adapting to every screen
Everyone is right, it's never a newborn! Movie/tv productions (at least in US) aren't allowed to have newborns on set until they're older and even then it's incredibly limited.
I love that you said "That's not a newborn". My mom is an L&D nurse, and my whole life when someone had a baby on TV mom would pipe up with "Congratulations! Here's your 9 week old!"
Ask Drill Sarge Exactly what I thought! He could have easily called the ambulance first and then tried to relieve the pressure on the umbilical cord like Dr Jones says!
@MamaDoctorJones: just wanted to say that, as a recently retired trauma physician (who only had to deliver *once* in over forty years - in the back seat of a station wagon 🤷♀️), I love your videos, in which you disseminate extremely important information within large slices of humor. I’m impressed you can watch *any* ‘medical’ tv shows - I always end up yelling at the screen while my husband (a software analyst) laughs hysterically. eventually we have to stop - I don’t want a stroke or massive coronary to mar my retirement.😉. #keepitup👏👏👏
“ The 3 month old she delivered is also fine.” That part cracked me up! Haha. He was so cleaned up and ready to go. Might as well have given him a little suitcase 🧳 and have him on his way home!
Yes but not everyone who watches does. You could have adolescents ir people speaking English as a second language. So it is good that she makes the videos accessible to all.
If I remember the episode correctly, the situation is that there is a huge wind storm and it's very dangerous to be driving/emergency vehicles aren't exactly available.. they could quite easily die on the way to the hospital if they got on the road kind of thing. Unlikely situation, but anyway. Part of the reason why she's so adamant about this being done ASAP, in the show, is her story in the show, she lost a child before this pregnancy came around and.. well, she doesn't want to lose this one. Now that I'm watching this, I think this was the last of what I saw on Grey's Anatomy.. I don't actually know what happens after this. :O
Severe windstorms are dangerous and under normal circumstances people should stay off the road, but ambulance drivers are trained to drive in dangerous conditions and the risk of doing a c-section at home definitely has a higher risk of death, even more so when there's only one person there to help like in this episode and that person is not even an OBGYN.
My mother did a unmedicated c section in 2015! My dad said she screamed like that and didn’t pass out. They asked her if they wanted to put her out after my brother was out and she said “YES! You still have to sew me up!!”
I was 30 weeks pregnant at 18. For weeks my blood pressure had been rising but only at 30 weeks was I admitted to hospital with pre-eclampsia. They waited another 3 days and I began having seizures. They took me down for an emergency c-section. An anesthetist tried twice to put a spinal block in and failed, so they got a consultant to do it. I told him I could still feel and move my legs, he rolled me onto my side to "disperse the anesthetic" and rolled me in to surgery. They rolled me back on to my back, and began to operation. The first cut he made was like the worst papercut you can imagine, intense stinging pain. I pulled in a breathe between clenched teeth. The surgeon noticed but carried on. As he cut through the fat, nerves and tissues in to my uterus I started to scream. My blood pressure, which was already 280/190 couldn't take it. There are no words to describe the level of pain I was in. I remember screaming, I remember the surgeon dropping the scalpel, and I remember hearing the heart rate monitor flat line. I "died" 3 times in total on that operating table before they stabilized me enough to get me in to intensive care. My son was born weighing 2lbs 8oz, and there is no "happy ending" to this. He died in my arms when he was 4 days old due to multi organ failure. My body failed him and me. I don't know if you will read this, but I wanted to post about this as I watched this greys anatomy scene. April in a previous season had gotten pregnant but the baby had a genetic condition meaning his bones were breaking inside her. She chose to have an induced labor early and the baby died in her arms. That's why April was pushing to have the surgery to save this baby, she couldn't bare to lose another child. This one storyline really hit home for me because I had gone through the same thing, c-section without anesthetic and losing a child.
I feel terribly sorry for you. Are you kind of okay now? I never had a baby so I have no idea what you must have gone through, but I wish you the best of luck and happiness in the future
My goodness how the heck did you survive. This sorry doctors almost failed you and you lost your precious baby. So glad to hear recovered but emotionaly I know it will take a while. It’s I hate drs like that are still able to work
I once read a doctor's analysis of an ER episode about an emergency birth where the doctor reviewing it said that it was such bad procedure that he was afraid that he was going to get sued for malpractice just for watching it, LOL. This episode sounds similar. :)
Sarah O lots of women deliver their baby by themselves. Either because they don’t get to hospital on time, or because they do not live near a hospital. The female body is amazing, it knows what to do.
Sarah Taylor, it’s both amazing and poorly designed. We give birth much soon than we should because if we waited longer till the baby was more developed it’s head would be to being to come out! Walking upright and having big heads has really messed up our ability to give birth as a species. King of amazing that we’re still going and we’re still going
This episode brings back so many memories. My first baby ended up having a prolapsed cord after a long day of laboring. She was breech and they verted her before breaking my water. But in the end we had an emergency c-section. By that time my epidural had wore off and the pain of going through that surgery was beyond anything you could imagine. I passed out from the pain a few times before the anesthesiologist could come and knock me out. Amongst all the chaos my baby girl was resuscitated and sent to the NICU where she was put in a cold cap for 72 hours to prevent brain swelling. She is my miracle baby and is now a spunky 7 year old. So thankful to God that she is still with us ❤️
Jude Fenwick she understands that point. But she’s a doctor too. Just because it’s a different species, they’re doing the same thing as if it was a baby. They still have to make sure the baby (human or animal) is in a safe position in order to proceed. They do the same things that actual human doctors do. It’s harder for vets bc obviously animals can’t tell them when their in pain. They have to figure it out on their own on what’s wrong with their patient. I understand where your coming from too but I’m just saying as a future reference. (No im not a doctor for human or animal but my best friend is studying to be a vet tech)
I am always blown away by Sarah Drew's acting prowess in the C section scene. How she can so accurately portray unimaginable agony is absolutely beyond me.
Hey, Mama Doctor Jones, guess what?! April actually had a baby prior to this. Early induced delivery with the intention of allowing him to die because he had a prenatal diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, type II. He was born in season 11. I'd love to see your take on how that was handled!
@@rustyleann7257 correction...this always mistaken. Its not this time April's pregnancy. Sarah Drew, the actress, real pregnancy was during April's pregnant with Samuel. Sarah gave birth to her daughter in 2014 that was Season 11..when Samuel was born. And Yes, the birth and death scene gave so much stressed to Sarah and her baby because they had to film the scene crying for 10hrs which caused her emergency labour the next day. So scary.
Junko subliminals Greys often uses special effects for realistic enough looking premature babies, even one pound babies. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for them to show a newborn age in some capacity.
About 3 years ago, I watched this episode and to this date all I remember is Ben cutting her open in the house in the middle of a storm and that camera work where they show April's face when she is doing the world's most painful scream. It is that intense!! Take a bow, Sarah Drew!!
Omg I am 37 weeks pregnant, I knew I didn't have to watch this and I still did. WHY DID I WATCH IT!!! Even my baby started rolling in his womb when the cutting was happening. It's all good, it's all good. My baby's head is down, I am going to the hospital to give birth, I have no reason not to go to the hospital, it's all fine, breathe in, breathe out.
bbygirl child labor laws babies can only work like a couple hours a day, that’s why a lot of movies have fake babies or u never actually see their faces
I think that's true. I've heard that some shows and movies use premature babies that are of age to make the baby on screen more realistic. Not sure how true this is though
the youngest you can be to work on set by law is two weeks old and babies are only allowed to work two-four hours depending on their age that’s why they usually hire twins so they can space the times they come in and therefore get maximum time to work with the babies.
Have you done the Grey’s episode where Meredith the talks someone through surgery they are preforming on her while she’s pregnant? I think it might be a c-section but I can’t remember for sure.
It started off as a c-section but after the ob left the resident to close she started bleeding out from an earlier fall. So she gave Ross a little pep talk while Heather ran and got Bailey. She fell before going into labor and injured her spleen and it went undiagnosed because she was in labor. She had to have a C because her baby had face presentation.
I think the number 1 question here is: how come April doesn‘t know the baby‘s in breech?!? Has she never gotten an ultrasound in that hospital they are all working in??
Alondra Rodriguez ah OK... well then don‘t go to a hospital where they let a colleague in her third trimester get away with not checking for breech LOL! especially being a doctor she‘d realistically should have felt it anyway by the baby‘s movements or by touching the bump.
I had a patient I was managing all day during her labor, confirmed head down by ultrasound when she arrived. Her water broke naturally, and baby flipped into breech. These things happen often, no matter how many times you scan her.
The baby s delivery position can be evaluated at the end of the pregnancy..so even if she was closely monitoere ddiring her hole gestation it woudnt matter becoz the baby takes the updown position.in the end
Shay Robertson I googled it, apparently it’s a specialized vacuum that uses suction to help the baby through the birth canal, similar to using forceps around the baby’s head.
@@Spicy_Dorito That's so sad! Yeah, it can be pretty dangerous. I got a small brain injury from my birth, but at least I'm alive. I'm not sure why it's not more common to do a c-section for twin births. My cousin's wife had one and she was just carrying one, but she's so small, they didn't even try natural.
@@Meelany261095 you're talking about the actress's second pregnancy which was the one written into the show in season 11. That baby suffered from a genetic disease called osteogenesis imperfecta incompatible with life and thus died a few minutes after induced labor. So no.
Im not pregnant, nor do I plan to ever be and I also don’t know anything about medicine, I don’t know how I got here, but I’m stressed out on a whole other level now 😂
I’m just saying this, and not to add to ur anxiety, but statistically you will get pregnant at some point in your life, and when you do, come back to this comment and tell us how it’s going👍
It's honestly vagina vs. all the parts of external genitalia. It's literally the opposite, people need to quit this bs. And then we wonder why so many men don't know women don't pee out of their vaginas
@@noelleirina5628 exactly. I get wanting to use correct terms but then there needs to be a more correct term for everything, not just the vulva, than "privates" or something. Vagina is the only term that we use to sort of include everything
@@ah5721 I can understand why you want the correct terminology, I work in healthcare, but I'm just curious what you would use if you were referring to all of the anatomy down there? Just sexual anatomy? I guess there really isn't a name for both "penis and testicles" so it's comparable. I'm just trying to understand haha
Sports med here! I worked with a hand surgeon in an ortho office and while light boxes are still all over the walls we definitely don’t use them. UNTIL. One day we had a wrist fracture come in from someone who sustained their injury in Australia!! They brought in full size films and it was hoot trying to figure out how to read those! The look on the surgeon’s face when she asked me if he brought xrays with him was priceless!
my dad's a radiologist and we still have a couple lightboxes in the closet at home. Sometimes I'm tempted to take one to help light videos/zoom calls rather than buying my own lighting.
15:25 My mom went through this almost 40 years ago giving birth to me... in a hospital! She was and still is a warrior, and my hero. She was in active labor for 5 days with me, then (as she was having a ‘natural’ or no drugs labor), my vitals crashed and the doctor started the c-section before mom had anything on board. She says she was very aware of the initial cut- that felt like “hot lava being poured onto her abdomen”- but passed out just as they put the gas on her. I was born without a heartbeat, but they revived me and all was well. I am glad the last ‘few’😉 decades have given us better medical procedures and wisdom. Thanks for the video, the fantastic advice, and the chance to recognize my heroic mama.💕😌
Karen Jones Small town in FL. I have very dear friends that grew up near Cary, NC and we visited them every year. I lived there for almost a decade as well. Small world, we both have strong mamas!😉
Oh my! It truly is a small world because I live about a 45 min-1 hr drive from Carey. Ever heard of Kinston, NC?! That's where I was born and raised! Also, our mamas are VERY strong! The story of my birth makes me love her even more! I know how much she went thru to get me here!!!
Being a mother who went through a crash C-section and felt the first cut.. I can tell you it is very intense and painful... I'm literally in tears watching this right now.
That's normal and just how it is, unfortunately. You would think with all the advances in medical technology, they would find a better way to numb women during them!
The actress who played April was really pregnant in this scene and the scene was so intense that she went into labor(real labor) a few hours later of filming it! Its crazy!!
Karla Yolimar Sarah Drew wasn't pregnant on this episode. It was when her character lost her baby. www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/greys-anatomy-april-baby-jackson-772898
The actress (Sarah Drew) was pregnant when April was pregnant with Samual, her first baby that she lost, and after Sarah shot that scene, she went into labor for real, Sarah wasn't pregnant in this episode, though.
First of all, I love your song! Second, I can tell you that feeling yourself cut open like that does eventually knock you out. I was being choked to death by the cord right up at the placenta, causing a placental abruption and emergency c-section. However, my mom only numbed out on her right side. On the left she felt everything. She says she stayed conscious long enough for the doctors to tell her I was alright. Then she ended up on a cycle of waking from pain and passing out from pain because they had to force her to contract to stop her bleeding - she has a bleeding disorder. Poor woman went through hell for me.
We had a patient pregnant with twins, she srom d at home at 34 weeks. Thankfully her sister was an L&D nurse and checked her and felt cord prolapse. She made into our hospital and both babies survived! She is a legend in our hospital!
There is only one scenario in which this scene works: mom dies on the kitchen table, baby has complications from cord compression before delivery, and multiple people get in legal and professional trouble from doing / advising the wrong things. This is where GoT and TWD/FTWD get it right: IC actions have IC consequences. Everyone can die at any moment.
A.J. Kleipass sorry but have you actually seen greys anatomy? Everyone dies. Everyones lives go to hell all the time. Like seriously, not a single person on the show has a great life without consequences. And we are never prepared for anything. Shonda Rhimes has no chill, she kills people off before she even breathes.
Kadre W Ben did get into TROUBLE. Alot of TROUBLE. April had to stay in bed for several months and eventualy kinda Goes crazy in the bed. And Lets not forget that its a show its suppose to be juicy
@@karinne9933 I've not watched it since the second or third season. I'm not sure why I got away from it, but it might have been related to the switch from analog to digital TV signals. I lost more than half of 15+/- VHF and UHF channels I had.
My mom actually had to deliver my brother by emergency c-section and they had to start 'cutting' immediately before the anesthesia kicked in so she was in incredible pain being cut open without anesthesia!
When my mom had me and my sister, the pain medications and the epidural had no effect on her. She ended up having to go through two c-sections without any pain medication whatsoever. I think this is genetic because my grandpa is allergic to penicillin, so maybe that’s why it had no affect...?
With my second, the epidural took effect only on the right side of my body and I had an emergency c-section. My memory of it is pretty fuzzy, I went into shock.
So, two things that I feel are important to know for this episode: April and Jacksons first baby, Norbert, had type II osteogenesis imperfecta ('All I Could Do Was Cry', Season 11 Episode 11), probably the reason why April wanted Ben to save the baby over her. Also, Ben had actually performed an emergency c-section in 'There's A Fine, Fine Line', Season 12 Episode 18, when the hospital was under lockdown and he and his patient caught in a corridor. Both the mother and baby die. So, him performing on April was actually coming full-circle on this arch and had me super worried when I watched it, having pretty much just a few days before seen how he failed INSIDE the hospital.
Call The Midwife did a episode with a prolapsed cord. I don't remember the season and episode but it was probably much better handled than getting a c-section in a house.
@@kierianiis I agree. Every episode (I believe) is OB/GYN related, even though there's other stuff as well. 2x01 and the episodes covering the "hard topics" (like the episode of Nora's abortion and the one from the season airing now, and the upcoming episode about cervical cancer screenings) are my top picks.
I learned so much from this. Never knew the term "footling" breech, nor had I any idea that uterine arteries passed so much blood in so little time. Thanks for making this.
I cut skin tags off with a (washed and alcohol’d) cuticle nipper and that’s about the extent of my dangerous home surgery procedures!! Makes my dermatologist cringe and roll his eyes!!
My baby was unexpectedly born footling breech at home almost a year ago, and it was terrifying. It was all so fast, and my husband was the only other person with me. I got on my hands and knees as soon as I felt her feet, and I'm so thankful she came right out so quickly and wasn't hurt. I'm so thankful her cord did not come out before she did.
Wait, you have a breech and are watching videos? I have so many questions about your priorities. I’ve never been pregnant but I feel like normal people don’t do that
One of the reasons april was so hysterical is because her first baby had a genetic disease, was born early and passed away not long(a few hours i believe) after birth.
I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy when they killed off McDreamy. You are hilarious as always. I always watch these episodes and wonder who their medical consultant is!
I had an emergency caesarean section 38 years ago. I was thrown on the operating table like a sack of flour. Somebody poured a whole bucket of disinfectant over my stomach and then I was cut. The anesthesia was not yet complete and I can only say that you can't stand it, never. I just wanted to scream ... but then the anesthetic started to work. Thank God.
This is horrifying without you explaining it, it gets worse as you explain it!!!!! 😭😭😭😭 Also, I can't believe he's calling the hospital and they're just like, "oh, okay, here's what you're gonna do." Not, okay, we're sending an ambulance," or, "okay, I'm leaving to come pick you up."
If I remember correctly there was an incredible storm stopping traffic (including ambulances). Still insane. But not as insane as the c-section with a clipboard 😂... I want to see that episode reviewed!
The ambulance couldn't make it because of the storm and her baby had complications in the womb so they had to do an immediate C-section or the baby would die.
@Nazia Hussain this is TV drama and would not happen in real life. Any professional care provider be it Doctor, OB/Gyn or Certified Nurse Midwife would call 911 or transfer the patient to the hospital the moment they suspected cord prolapse. I know in a lot of countries where midwifes are educated and certified like nurses/doctors they are not allowed to birth breech at home. They can still vaginally birth the baby but at a hospital setting.
My friend was induced in labor for 23 hours then did an emergency C-section. When they started cutting she was like "I can feel that." They cut again after adding more to her epidural and she screamed "I can still feel that!" They ended up knocking her out. Her epidural was placed wrong and was only numbing one side of her body. Luckily they started cutting on the half that could still feel, because if they were halfway through the incision I don't know what they would have done.
DIY C-section tutorial at home.... NO! Hell NO!!!!! NO!!!! I had an emergency c-section for my daughter and it was traumatic. This idea of having c-section at home is just horrific.
Hands, knees, and hos-pi-tal HOSPITAL. Haha I learned so much from this video!! Love having you set all these crazy TV shows straight! ❤️

Every bad thing that can happen will happen on Grey's Anatomy. They have so many serious disasters, extreme injuries and the doctors seem to die all of the time. I would seriously reconsider working there or living within 5,000 miles from that hospital, city and doctors. I would move!
A friend of mine had major surgery last year and a bunch of us were on a schedule to help him out with day to day stuff as he recovered. My 'shift' was Thursday evenings. He's big into Grey's and it was my first time watching in years and literally every week, someone pivotal to the show or major plot development died. I would ask 'where's so and so?' dead... 'and so and so?' also dead.
Jimminy crickets!
weepingwillows21 we will *always* be mad!
"The three month old that she delivered is also fine..." DYING
Same! I'm agonizing!!!
My first baby was 10 pounds on the nose. When my mom came to visit after I had her she walked in the room and saw me holding her and said, "Where's your baby? That's a 3 month old."
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
They aren’t allowed to use babies younger than 3 months for tv shows 😩
As an EMT, I was actually called out on a call for a woman in labor when I got there the Father comes running up to me saying something was coming out. I immediately went to check and saw the cord, I immediately put my hand in and never took it out till we rolled into the OR with her. She had a healthy baby girl.
That must have been really stressful. I’m glad everything worked out ok
Thank God you thought and you that the baby and the mother's life were in danger if you moved your hands
This was always my fear with labor calls, any form of breach position 😭❤️
Good for you for riding the bed like a champ!!!! You will always hold a special place in their hearts! Woohoo!
Im looking at this whole scenario and thinking "what was the plan for resus for this baby - knowing that its likely compromised with a compressed cord for however many minutes???!!!"
I watch Grey’s, I’m *BASICALLY* a surgical resident 🤷🏻♀️
Me too!!
Me too 🤷🏼♀️ at 12 I guess
Stephenee Armas you are just a first year intern. Have you passed your test yet. Lol to be a resident you need to have binged watched the show at least twice.
@@VScott-uq1pj Then I am the whole surgical team 😂 LOVE Greys. I watch it over and over when I need to just have a big cry.
Andra Karsten I'm currently watching it now. Currently on season six. So, I just watched what happened to George it made me cry just a bit.
I have second hand PTSD from watching that C-section scene. I once saw a documentary about a woman who wasn't properly anesthesized during her cesarean delivery, she said it felt like wolves clawing their way into her abdomen and she was still suffering from terrible trauma and depression four years later. That Grey's anatomy scene is hands down the most cruel, gruesome and horrific scene they've ever had on the show, and I'm still upset every time I think about it.
My grandmother experienced it first-hand - doctors didn't believe she could feel it until she started moving her legs.
She's seriously traumatised from it, and even 50 years later, we struggled to get her to have surgery to get cancer removed from her body.
She did, and she's been cancer-free for three years now, but it comes up pretty regularly for her.
My mom told me that my father was a footling breech. There's a joke that that's why he became a paratrooper. "He always landed feet first."
Birth stories make the best jokes. When my mom delivered me she broke her tailbone. Soooo I've been a pain in the ass my whole life.
MusicAddict that is so funny!!! 😂😂
@@taylorcervantes1995 What's funnier is that my older sister's birth broke her tailbone first and it didn't heal right, so I was just fixing it 😂

every time i see "doctor reacts..." to greys anatomy i go "uh oh" hahaha
*flashbacks to Dr Mike*
😂
I had a prolapsed cord. When the nurse saw that my baby's heartbeat dropped, she went to check and see if everything was okay. She then told me that there would be a bunch of nurses rushing in and she asked all of my family to leave, including my husband. They rushed me to the ER to do an emergency C-section. Just like you said, the nurse had her hand inside me the whole time they were rolling me down to operating room to take the pressure off the cord. My OBGYN was able to deliver my daughter safely. I didn't know till the next day why I had to have an emergency C-section.
That was the scariest moment of my life!
I had a prolapsed cord with my last. I remember being rolled to OR with the nurses hand still holding baby inside and them cutting as I was being put under. One of the scariest days of my life.
You mean OR not ER.
I think April was being so pushy because her first son died.
Exactly my thought!
Anyone would have been pushy in that situation. But a doctor especially should know this is the worst thing he could be doing for her. She comes first, not her paranoia. He should choose for her, because she obviously can't put herself before her child.
Not
@@noelleirina5628 Warren wasn't able to choose for her, because he was cut-hungry. After all, he killed a woman that way before.
Honestly, the show treated Warren's actions throughout that season so ridiculously lightly, it's infuriating.
Agreed
the situation may not have been realistic in the slightest, but can we acknowledge sarah drew's (actress for april) acting for this??? insanely good; this scene always gives me chills!!
I'm pretty sure she was pregnant in real life while filming this too!
O K not this time! She was actually pregnant during the Samuel pregnancy in the show! :)
parkersandrec EXACTLY. Like when she said “that looks real” talking about the contractions I screamed “YEAH THAT’S BECAUSE SARAH IS SUCH A GOOD ACTRESS”
She was pregnant in this episode. This scene started her labor. She mentions it in multiple interviews.
In interviews she said that she was pregnant during this season. I think she also has mentioned that she went into labor a day or so after filming this episode 😂
I love that you point out the difference between vaginas and vulvas EVERY time someone tries to interchange them. For as much as people avoid the word "vagina," they usually seem physically repulsed by "vulva." Thank you for spreading knowledge to people without being condescending about it. 💖
God the more I find out about pregnancy and childbirth the more I know I NEVER want to go through it. I swear watching this I can feel my bits trying to curl up hide
@UCTuRMiY1W2CfMKh3g0EYHow nah, kids are gross. Pregnancy is gross. Not everyone sees motherhood as a magical thing. I love children, but I just don't want to risk my life to have kids. Call me selfish but I don't think it's worth it.
I am traumatized for life. Ehhhblahhhyuck
OMG ME TOO
Same dude. Sometimes I don't understand how people actually want to go through all this...
Yeah no pregnancy for me!!!
My midwife (who delivered my daughter 3 weeks ago, at home) told me about her experience once with a prolapsed cord. When she realized the cord was prolapsed, she got the mother into the back of the car on her hands and knees, bottom in the air, and had a warm cloth pressed against her. They called ahead to the hospital and the paramedics were waiting outside for them. Both mom and baby survived and are doing fine!
Fun fact: This scene was so intense for the actress (who was actually pregnant at the time) she gave birth shortly after and earlier than her due date
Seriously?
.-. Oof-
Wrong season that's season 11 this is season 12 the one that happened when she went premature labor was the one where her tv baby dies in her arms once again in season 11
You have a weird sense of FUN.
Nahhh that was the first baby (spoiler: he died)
Who needs medical school when you have the University of Greys ?

I tell people I have a PhD in Grey's anatomy
Actually there was a guy that entered a hospital and said he was a doctor and I’m not sure but later in that day or days later someone found that he wasn’t a doctor. But he didn’t do anything wrong. When police asked why he did what he did he said that he knew what he was doing because he saw greys anatomy. (He wasn’t wrong 😂😂)

I think the main reason April put emphasis on saving the baby instead of her was because she lost her first baby. She didn't want to go through that again.

@@katperez1726 I mean even then there's a huge difference between 3 weeks and 3 months, especially for a baby.

That was the funniest part of this video.
My son was in 3m clothes very soon after birth; he was 22" long and over 4500g at birth (emergency c-section, I had a traumatic pregnancy but he was a week late). Now he's 4 years old and he's a 5T for shirts and 4T for pants. He'll be in a 6 before he turns 5.

I didn't let her do that often though, since the skeletal structure and whatnot shouldn't be subjected to prolonged sitting and standing when they are so young, but I did let her walk quite far with proper support.

I never understand when people watch shows and then say "in no way is that a newborn" 😂😂 I mean who would sign up there newborn to be on a tv show
There is paperwork and the youngest a child has to be to be in a show/movie. It’s 15 days old
Apparently on the show midwife call or something on the BBC uses babies no older than 8 days
On most shows the babies have to be 3 months old which is why they tend to use premature babies so they can be smaller
Lol all three replies immediately disagree with each other. Welcome to the internet
Jake Carson I saw something for California (where I am from) I don’t know if it’s a real job permit thing or if it’s just a temporary one but it said it was 15 days
My neurosurgeon only uses light boxes. He doesn’t like the computer images. He’s very picky- a quality I really appreciate in the guy who’s going to play around in my brain.
Yeah, but computer imaging is probably available at this guy’s practice. He’s just being an old person.
The images printed out to place on the light box are just printed off computer images but worse because the computer ones (CT/MRI) can even be like a scroll through video where you can kind of see things presented in a dynamic way. Your neurosurgeon is just old school. I’m sure he’s a great doc but printed out images doesn’t make him or anyone superior.
I've worked in NS for 5 years. You want a doctor to be able to zoom or adjust contrast. Maybe gift him a 4k touch monitor? By and large, neuros are a special kind of person, but they will adapt if provided tools that work in line with existing habits.
ReneeE9234 sort of off topic, my dentist still uses the box is that old school as well?
My neurologist does the same! And he isn’t even old, he must be 30 something
But in my country we don’t have very advanced screens available everywhere so maybe he’s just more comfortable having the physical images rather than adapting to every screen
"THaT, is not a newborn." 🤣🤣🤣
😅
I say this all the time. I got mad when my mom did now I'm doing it lol.
Says my mother in every birth scene ever
Everyone is right, it's never a newborn! Movie/tv productions (at least in US) aren't allowed to have newborns on set until they're older and even then it's incredibly limited.
@@locationsariel they can't employ babies until two weeks and they usually use premies.
I love that you said "That's not a newborn". My mom is an L&D nurse, and my whole life when someone had a baby on TV mom would pipe up with "Congratulations! Here's your 9 week old!"
That’s terrifying! No way. I would NEVER go through a C-section without anesthesia. That’s just insanity.
The sound of people literally howling in pain is traumatic to me.
TJ Southam she already lost one baby
The fact that they hadn't even called 911 to get an ambulance on the move there...
It’s amazing what you will do when your baby is in danger
C sections are extremely painful even with anesthesia, as the spinal/epidural doesn't numb you, it just takes the edge off a bit.
He can call his colleagues at the hospital to be talked through a c-section before calling an ambulance? Yeah that seems likely
Ask Drill Sarge Exactly what I thought! He could have easily called the ambulance first and then tried to relieve the pressure on the umbilical cord like Dr Jones says!
Ask Drill Sarge he had already called The ambulance but there was a storm and they thought that the ambulance wouldn’t have come in time
there was a real big storm, ambulances / car where no option, according to the ep lslsls
He called an ambulance it’s just that they were taking long but they later on arrived after the c-section was preformed
He did call an ambulance. That's why he kept going outside to check if they were nearby but due to the storm they took long to get there.
@MamaDoctorJones: just wanted to say that, as a recently retired trauma physician (who only had to deliver *once* in over forty years - in the back seat of a station wagon 🤷♀️), I love your videos, in which you disseminate extremely important information within large slices of humor. I’m impressed you can watch *any* ‘medical’ tv shows - I always end up yelling at the screen while my husband (a software analyst) laughs hysterically. eventually we have to stop - I don’t want a stroke or massive coronary to mar my retirement.😉. #keepitup👏👏👏

my exact reaction
I think she’s making a funny 😆
If I remember the episode correctly, the situation is that there is a huge wind storm and it's very dangerous to be driving/emergency vehicles aren't exactly available.. they could quite easily die on the way to the hospital if they got on the road kind of thing.
Unlikely situation, but anyway. Part of the reason why she's so adamant about this being done ASAP, in the show, is her story in the show, she lost a child before this pregnancy came around and.. well, she doesn't want to lose this one. Now that I'm watching this, I think this was the last of what I saw on Grey's Anatomy.. I don't actually know what happens after this. :O
Yupe correct
Severe windstorms are dangerous and under normal circumstances people should stay off the road, but ambulance drivers are trained to drive in dangerous conditions and the risk of doing a c-section at home definitely has a higher risk of death, even more so when there's only one person there to help like in this episode and that person is not even an OBGYN.
He called the ambulance they just got there after the c section done
My mother did a unmedicated c section in 2015! My dad said she screamed like that and didn’t pass out. They asked her if they wanted to put her out after my brother was out and she said “YES! You still have to sew me up!!”
I was 30 weeks pregnant at 18. For weeks my blood pressure had been rising but only at 30 weeks was I admitted to hospital with pre-eclampsia. They waited another 3 days and I began having seizures. They took me down for an emergency c-section. An anesthetist tried twice to put a spinal block in and failed, so they got a consultant to do it. I told him I could still feel and move my legs, he rolled me onto my side to "disperse the anesthetic" and rolled me in to surgery. They rolled me back on to my back, and began to operation. The first cut he made was like the worst papercut you can imagine, intense stinging pain. I pulled in a breathe between clenched teeth. The surgeon noticed but carried on. As he cut through the fat, nerves and tissues in to my uterus I started to scream. My blood pressure, which was already 280/190 couldn't take it. There are no words to describe the level of pain I was in. I remember screaming, I remember the surgeon dropping the scalpel, and I remember hearing the heart rate monitor flat line. I "died" 3 times in total on that operating table before they stabilized me enough to get me in to intensive care. My son was born weighing 2lbs 8oz, and there is no "happy ending" to this. He died in my arms when he was 4 days old due to multi organ failure. My body failed him and me. I don't know if you will read this, but I wanted to post about this as I watched this greys anatomy scene. April in a previous season had gotten pregnant but the baby had a genetic condition meaning his bones were breaking inside her. She chose to have an induced labor early and the baby died in her arms. That's why April was pushing to have the surgery to save this baby, she couldn't bare to lose another child. This one storyline really hit home for me because I had gone through the same thing, c-section without anesthetic and losing a child.
I feel terribly sorry for you. Are you kind of okay now? I never had a baby so I have no idea what you must have gone through, but I wish you the best of luck and happiness in the future
My goodness how the heck did you survive. This sorry doctors almost failed you and you lost your precious baby. So glad to hear recovered but emotionaly I know it will take a while. It’s I hate drs like that are still able to work
I am so sorry. I teared up reading your story. Hope all is well with you
I once read a doctor's analysis of an ER episode about an emergency birth where the doctor reviewing it said that it was such bad procedure that he was afraid that he was going to get sued for malpractice just for watching it, LOL. This episode sounds similar. :)
her acting in that scene is amazing! the scream, the face, the expressions, shes phenomenal!
PLEASE react to the Handmaid's Tale episode where Offred delivers her baby by herself!
Yes! Please do!
Sarah O lots of women deliver their baby by themselves. Either because they don’t get to hospital on time, or because they do not live near a hospital. The female body is amazing, it knows what to do.
Sarah Taylor, it’s both amazing and poorly designed. We give birth much soon than we should because if we waited longer till the baby was more developed it’s head would be to being to come out! Walking upright and having big heads has really messed up our ability to give birth as a species. King of amazing that we’re still going and we’re still going
@SarahTaylor as equally as women can give birth by their selves they can also die in childbirth there's nothing that is perfect.
yes this would be good

This episode brings back so many memories. My first baby ended up having a prolapsed cord after a long day of laboring. She was breech and they verted her before breaking my water. But in the end we had an emergency c-section. By that time my epidural had wore off and the pain of going through that surgery was beyond anything you could imagine. I passed out from the pain a few times before the anesthesiologist could come and knock me out. Amongst all the chaos my baby girl was resuscitated and sent to the NICU where she was put in a cold cap for 72 hours to prevent brain swelling. She is my miracle baby and is now a spunky 7 year old. So thankful to God that she is still with us ❤️

Jude Fenwick Uuuhhh it’s still an example of using light box imaging so why does it matter
Jude Fenwick it’s still medicine sooo....
Jude Fenwick she understands that point. But she’s a doctor too. Just because it’s a different species, they’re doing the same thing as if it was a baby. They still have to make sure the baby (human or animal) is in a safe position in order to proceed. They do the same things that actual human doctors do. It’s harder for vets bc obviously animals can’t tell them when their in pain. They have to figure it out on their own on what’s wrong with their patient. I understand where your coming from too but I’m just saying as a future reference. (No im not a doctor for human or animal but my best friend is studying to be a vet tech)
At our dental office they have them and in certain clinics in the hospital
I am always blown away by Sarah Drew's acting prowess in the C section scene. How she can so accurately portray unimaginable agony is absolutely beyond me.
Hey, Mama Doctor Jones, guess what?! April actually had a baby prior to this. Early induced delivery with the intention of allowing him to die because he had a prenatal diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, type II. He was born in season 11. I'd love to see your take on how that was handled!

@@rustyleann7257 probably from the stress of having to scream her lungs out like she was in excruciating pain 😂
@@rustyleann7257 correction...this always mistaken. Its not this time April's pregnancy. Sarah Drew, the actress, real pregnancy was during April's pregnant with Samuel. Sarah gave birth to her daughter in 2014 that was Season 11..when Samuel was born. And Yes, the birth and death scene gave so much stressed to Sarah and her baby because they had to film the scene crying for 10hrs which caused her emergency labour the next day. So scary.
The babies in film and TV by law have to be a bit older. Unfortunate that the show couldn't use an appropriately sized fake baby.

bbygirl child labor laws babies can only work like a couple hours a day, that’s why a lot of movies have fake babies or u never actually see their faces
I think that's true. I've heard that some shows and movies use premature babies that are of age to make the baby on screen more realistic. Not sure how true this is though
the youngest you can be to work on set by law is two weeks old and babies are only allowed to work two-four hours depending on their age that’s why they usually hire twins so they can space the times they come in and therefore get maximum time to work with the babies.
@@MeganMarieT they use premature becuse at the age required by law the premature baby still looks younger than an average baby

Have you done the Grey’s episode where Meredith the talks someone through surgery they are preforming on her while she’s pregnant? I think it might be a c-section but I can’t remember for sure.
It started off as a c-section but after the ob left the resident to close she started bleeding out from an earlier fall. So she gave Ross a little pep talk while Heather ran and got Bailey.
She fell before going into labor and injured her spleen and it went undiagnosed because she was in labor.
She had to have a C because her baby had face presentation.
In a blackout! Can’t forget the blackout! All that Brittany described only with flashlights.
I think the number 1 question here is: how come April doesn‘t know the baby‘s in breech?!? Has she never gotten an ultrasound in that hospital they are all working in??
Ta Mei i believe she didn't want to know a lot because of her last pregnancy, so i wouldn't be surprised if she didn't want to get ultrasounds
Alondra Rodriguez ah OK... well then don‘t go to a hospital where they let a colleague in her third trimester get away with not checking for breech LOL! especially being a doctor she‘d realistically should have felt it anyway by the baby‘s movements or by touching the bump.
The OB I use doesn’t do an ultrasound after the anatomy scan unless you’re high risk.
I had a patient I was managing all day during her labor, confirmed head down by ultrasound when she arrived. Her water broke naturally, and baby flipped into breech. These things happen often, no matter how many times you scan her.
The baby s delivery position can be evaluated at the end of the pregnancy..so even if she was closely monitoere ddiring her hole gestation it woudnt matter becoz the baby takes the updown position.in the end
I'd never give birth at home. I was a vacuum and forceps baby. I did learn when I was 13 that I have a brain injury from that, but at least I'm alive.

Im not pregnant, nor do I plan to ever be and I also don’t know anything about medicine, I don’t know how I got here, but I’m stressed out on a whole other level now 😂
😂😂😂
This may be one of the funniest comments that I have ever seen!
I’m just saying this, and not to add to ur anxiety, but statistically you will get pregnant at some point in your life, and when you do, come back to this comment and tell us how it’s going👍
amr mousa not everyone has kids tho...
maddi horner that’s not what I’m saying, I’m just saying that most women will be pregnant at some point in their lives.
Haha! I give the vagina vs. vulva rant every now and then. Totally with you on using correct terms!
It's honestly vagina vs. all the parts of external genitalia. It's literally the opposite, people need to quit this bs. And then we wonder why so many men don't know women don't pee out of their vaginas
@@noelleirina5628 exactly. I get wanting to use correct terms but then there needs to be a more correct term for everything, not just the vulva, than "privates" or something. Vagina is the only term that we use to sort of include everything
I totally agree Erica. Its vulva not vagina !!
My daughter corrected my very repressed mom at about 4 years of age. Mom was NOT impressed 😃
@@ah5721 I can understand why you want the correct terminology, I work in healthcare, but I'm just curious what you would use if you were referring to all of the anatomy down there? Just sexual anatomy? I guess there really isn't a name for both "penis and testicles" so it's comparable. I'm just trying to understand haha
Sports med here! I worked with a hand surgeon in an ortho office and while light boxes are still all over the walls we definitely don’t use them. UNTIL. One day we had a wrist fracture come in from someone who sustained their injury in Australia!! They brought in full size films and it was hoot trying to figure out how to read those! The look on the surgeon’s face when she asked me if he brought xrays with him was priceless!
can confirm: Australian and I have a stash of full size films of my spinal x-rays that I have to take with me to a bunch of different appointments
my dad's a radiologist and we still have a couple lightboxes in the closet at home. Sometimes I'm tempted to take one to help light videos/zoom calls rather than buying my own lighting.
15:25 My mom went through this almost 40 years ago giving birth to me... in a hospital! She was and still is a warrior, and my hero. She was in active labor for 5 days with me, then (as she was having a ‘natural’ or no drugs labor), my vitals crashed and the doctor started the c-section before mom had anything on board. She says she was very aware of the initial cut- that felt like “hot lava being poured onto her abdomen”- but passed out just as they put the gas on her. I was born without a heartbeat, but they revived me and all was well. I am glad the last ‘few’😉 decades have given us better medical procedures and wisdom. Thanks for the video, the fantastic advice, and the chance to recognize my heroic mama.💕😌
Omg my mama did with me too. 1980. I was in distress. She said they cut her open with nothing!
Karen Jones I was born in 1979!
Oh wow! I was born in a small town in NC! What about you?
Karen Jones Small town in FL. I have very dear friends that grew up near Cary, NC and we visited them every year. I lived there for almost a decade as well. Small world, we both have strong mamas!😉
Oh my! It truly is a small world because I live about a 45 min-1 hr drive from Carey. Ever heard of Kinston, NC?! That's where I was born and raised! Also, our mamas are VERY strong! The story of my birth makes me love her even more! I know how much she went thru to get me here!!!
Being a mother who went through a crash C-section and felt the first cut.. I can tell you it is very intense and painful... I'm literally in tears watching this right now.
So sorry for what you suffered!
That's normal and just how it is, unfortunately. You would think with all the advances in medical technology, they would find a better way to numb women during them!
As someone who has lost consciousness more than once from intense pain alone: YEAH THAT'D DO IT
LOL, thank you so much for the vagina/vulva discussion. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine as well!! *Rant support*
we're just gonna call it like Phoebe did then... a d**k ditch
The actress who played April was really pregnant in this scene and the scene was so intense that she went into labor(real labor) a few hours later of filming it! Its crazy!!
Karla Yolimar Sarah Drew wasn't pregnant on this episode. It was when her character lost her baby. www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/greys-anatomy-april-baby-jackson-772898
The actress (Sarah Drew) was pregnant when April was pregnant with Samual, her first baby that she lost, and after Sarah shot that scene, she went into labor for real, Sarah wasn't pregnant in this episode, though.
no it was samuels death/labor/birth that sarah drew (april) went into labor after
First of all, I love your song!
Second, I can tell you that feeling yourself cut open like that does eventually knock you out. I was being choked to death by the cord right up at the placenta, causing a placental abruption and emergency c-section. However, my mom only numbed out on her right side. On the left she felt everything. She says she stayed conscious long enough for the doctors to tell her I was alright. Then she ended up on a cycle of waking from pain and passing out from pain because they had to force her to contract to stop her bleeding - she has a bleeding disorder. Poor woman went through hell for me.
We had a patient pregnant with twins, she srom d at home at 34 weeks. Thankfully her sister was an L&D nurse and checked her and felt cord prolapse. She made into our hospital and both babies survived! She is a legend in our hospital!
Ruined a very nice table.. Hope there was a i sorry i got blood on your table ikea gift card 😂
That would be appreciated I'm sure
I mean Rebecca/Whatever her name was did it there too so...
They bought a freakin hospital so i don't think they would worry about a single table
Francesca Busuttil what the hell is wrong with u
@@rosiewilsonslurpeelover1012 would you not be slightly mad about your very nice clearly expensive table getting blood stained?
“is derek dead?” me: 😭😭😭
I know! I was like how can you say that so lightly! 😭 I cried in that episode like he was my own husband 😂 but seriously! 😭😭
I feel like I’m the only one who was bothered by dereks personality, loved mark tho
@@rajalovescake2180 he was a ass but not that bad 😭
@@jessicawagner2326 omg same I literally felt stupid at the same time for crying but it was like he was goddamn family 😂
@@rajalovescake2180 omg really Derek's personality was literally the best!! But not when he got angry and ran away from everything
There is only one scenario in which this scene works: mom dies on the kitchen table, baby has complications from cord compression before delivery, and multiple people get in legal and professional trouble from doing / advising the wrong things.
This is where GoT and TWD/FTWD get it right: IC actions have IC consequences. Everyone can die at any moment.
A.J. Kleipass sorry but have you actually seen greys anatomy? Everyone dies. Everyones lives go to hell all the time. Like seriously, not a single person on the show has a great life without consequences. And we are never prepared for anything. Shonda Rhimes has no chill, she kills people off before she even breathes.
Kadre W Ben did get into TROUBLE. Alot of TROUBLE. April had to stay in bed for several months and eventualy kinda Goes crazy in the bed. And Lets not forget that its a show its suppose to be juicy
@@karinne9933 I've not watched it since the second or third season. I'm not sure why I got away from it, but it might have been related to the switch from analog to digital TV signals. I lost more than half of 15+/- VHF and UHF channels I had.
Have you visited Seatle Grace Mercy Death?! Almost everyone dies...
When my csection baby was born, my mom said they looked like an uncooked chicken. This got written in the baby book, of course.
Lol. Good point. Most people have never ever ever actually seen a “vagina”.
"The three month old she also delivered.." 😂😂😂
The reason they had to do it there is because of the storm an ambulance couldn't get to them. I think even the road was blocked or something.
Nah, it's because the writers of the show wanted it more dramatic
@@arumikahaven well ya obviously that but they did say why in the show.
It's so annoying that she is ignoring that!!!! Urrggghhh. They had no access to a hospital.
My mom actually had to deliver my brother by emergency c-section and they had to start 'cutting' immediately before the anesthesia kicked in so she was in incredible pain being cut open without anesthesia!
When my mom had me and my sister, the pain medications and the epidural had no effect on her. She ended up having to go through two c-sections without any pain medication whatsoever. I think this is genetic because my grandpa is allergic to penicillin, so maybe that’s why it had no affect...?
With my second, the epidural took effect only on the right side of my body and I had an emergency c-section. My memory of it is pretty fuzzy, I went into shock.
@@emilyyanez4361 There is some evidence to a genetic predisposition to being either less or more sensitive to anesthetics.
So, two things that I feel are important to know for this episode:
April and Jacksons first baby, Norbert, had type II osteogenesis imperfecta ('All I Could Do Was Cry', Season 11 Episode 11), probably the reason why April wanted Ben to save the baby over her.
Also, Ben had actually performed an emergency c-section in 'There's A Fine, Fine Line', Season 12 Episode 18, when the hospital was under lockdown and he and his patient caught in a corridor. Both the mother and baby die.
So, him performing on April was actually coming full-circle on this arch and had me super worried when I watched it, having pretty much just a few days before seen how he failed INSIDE the hospital.
The first baby was named Samuel
Rhabarber huh
Victoriahna Vander Does Samuel
Norbert
The baby's name was Samuel NOT NORBERT! WTF
Call The Midwife did a episode with a prolapsed cord. I don't remember the season and episode but it was probably much better handled than getting a c-section in a house.
It’s the episode on the boat with the Swedish girl so 2x01. Trixie repositioned the cord whilst dealing Evangelina’s dislocated shoulder.
@@historymysteries4134 Yeah I remembered the plot but not the episode. Thanks!
Seriously, Dr. Jones should just do all of Call the Midwife. Start with the premier and just go - every episode has something fascinating.
@@kierianiis I agree. Every episode (I believe) is OB/GYN related, even though there's other stuff as well. 2x01 and the episodes covering the "hard topics" (like the episode of Nora's abortion and the one from the season airing now, and the upcoming episode about cervical cancer screenings) are my top picks.
Mama Doctor Jones yay!
Its kinda ironic that he’s using dish towels since they found a towel is someone’s body early on in the show 😂
I learned so much from this. Never knew the term "footling" breech, nor had I any idea that uterine arteries passed so much blood in so little time. Thanks for making this.
Girl, this is why you gotta have a glass of wine while you watch greys 😉😂
I cut skin tags off with a (washed and alcohol’d) cuticle nipper and that’s about the extent of my dangerous home surgery procedures!! Makes my dermatologist cringe and roll his eyes!!
You can tie them off with unwaxed dental floss and it falls off on its own in 1-2 weeks.
My sister just uses regular fingernail clippers *cringe* I told her my cuticle scissors were super sharp and would work way better!
My baby was unexpectedly born footling breech at home almost a year ago, and it was terrifying. It was all so fast, and my husband was the only other person with me. I got on my hands and knees as soon as I felt her feet, and I'm so thankful she came right out so quickly and wasn't hurt. I'm so thankful her cord did not come out before she did.
Oh wow, that had to be absolutely terrifying! Thank God that you were both okay!
What a great video to watch at 38 weeks with a footling breech baby lol
Your child is upside down rn? Thats so scary. I wish you and your baby the best of luck! And dont do what they did lol go to the hospital lol
Yes! Believe it or not I booked a planned cesarian after seeing this:)) thanks for kind words:)
Wait, you have a breech and are watching videos? I have so many questions about your priorities. I’ve never been pregnant but I feel like normal people don’t do that
@@rosestar1324 UA-cam rabbit hole:)
I wish best of luck to you and your baby!
I drove myself to the hospital for my 5th baby I made it 40 minutes before baby was born had to get my kids on the school bus before I could leave.
When you pregnant and you decide to give yourself more things to worry about 😅
Right there with you 🤜🤛
Same.
Yep.
Me!
The only reason i know what Braxton hicks contractions is because of FRIENDS
Lmao I just saw that episode today
Lol same here
lol same
Hi 5, me too🤣
No vagina, no opinion
One of the reasons april was so hysterical is because her first baby had a genetic disease, was born early and passed away not long(a few hours i believe) after birth.
I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy when they killed off McDreamy. You are hilarious as always. I always watch these episodes and wonder who their medical consultant is!
My Braxton Hicks felt like period cramps. It hurt for sure. But not like real contractions.
I had an emergency caesarean section 38 years ago. I was thrown on the operating table like a sack of flour. Somebody poured a whole bucket of disinfectant over my stomach and then I was cut. The anesthesia was not yet complete and I can only say that you can't stand it, never. I just wanted to scream ... but then the anesthetic started to work. Thank God.
This is horrifying without you explaining it, it gets worse as you explain it!!!!! 😭😭😭😭 Also, I can't believe he's calling the hospital and they're just like, "oh, okay, here's what you're gonna do." Not, okay, we're sending an ambulance," or, "okay, I'm leaving to come pick you up."
they coukldnt it wasnnt safe
If I remember correctly there was an incredible storm stopping traffic (including ambulances).
Still insane.
But not as insane as the c-section with a clipboard 😂... I want to see that episode reviewed!
They did send an ambulance
The ambulance couldn't make it because of the storm and her baby had complications in the womb so they had to do an immediate C-section or the baby would die.
Pink MDJ explained there were better options...
You should react to I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!
felinemoonchild she has! Search OBGYN reacts to didn’t know I was pregnant
This is why I never ever even considered home birth. God this is so scary!
Anon Girl this was long and nonsensical and I’m not trying to be rude, but are you okay?
@@user-uc2he9wb2f - She posts this kind of stuff all over the place.
@@user-uc2he9wb2f she's just spamming it, but adding an actual comment on top to not be banned for looking like a bot
@Nazia Hussain this is TV drama and would not happen in real life. Any professional care provider be it Doctor, OB/Gyn or Certified Nurse Midwife would call 911 or transfer the patient to the hospital the moment they suspected cord prolapse. I know in a lot of countries where midwifes are educated and certified like nurses/doctors they are not allowed to birth breech at home. They can still vaginally birth the baby but at a hospital setting.
@Anon Girl well their was kinda no need to say all that stuff but ok-
Only one doctor I know does light boxes and that is only for mammograms. They work really well for tracing images.
This made me cry watching it even though I've seen the episode. April is SUCH a badass. Having a csection at the hospital is scary enough
My friend was induced in labor for 23 hours then did an emergency C-section. When they started cutting she was like "I can feel that." They cut again after adding more to her epidural and she screamed "I can still feel that!"
They ended up knocking her out. Her epidural was placed wrong and was only numbing one side of her body. Luckily they started cutting on the half that could still feel, because if they were halfway through the incision I don't know what they would have done.
Could you do a video on Endometriosis and PCOS?
DIY C-section tutorial at home.... NO! Hell NO!!!!! NO!!!! I had an emergency c-section for my daughter and it was traumatic. This idea of having c-section at home is just horrific.
“The three month old she also delivered is fine!” Haha 😂
You skipped over the best part where Warren numbs April with some ice. Hahaha!
