      ⁠@@1014pur definitely biased. Stop going. They are robbing you. If you do stretches, proper stretches, diet, and exercise, massaging the muscles too you will feel as good as physically possible. Chiropractors are crooks. Nothing about their “adjustments” is okay for the human body. Dr. Chris has an episode on it aswell. Take that money and pay a personal trainer. Im telling you, once u get that pressure off ur joints by loosening up and strengthening ur muscles is amazing. Exercise has many benefits to mental and heart health aswell. Eating properly will ensure ur body gets what it need to properly take care of itself. And if u have arthritis the chiropractor is the last place to be. The only good thing is the stretching table but theres ways to do that at home. But the pool is a good place for people with joint issues. Saltwater is even better because of the increased buoyancy. Very low impact way to exercise limber up

    I dealt with a guy who had his penis and a testicle trapped by a CAT (trauma tourniquet) that was applied high up on the thigh following multiple stab wounds to his thigh. It had been on for about 30mins by the time I arrived. He ended up losing the testicle eventually and the level of pain he was dealing with at the scene was so bad, I disassociated him with Ketamine as we sorted it out. It's a life-threatening or at least a life-long and life-altering injury situation.
    It's one of the few times I've shuddered in empathy for a patient.
    When I teach application of the CAT, I make an important note:'Check the junk is free before continuing at this point'.

    There was a torture method, mostly used in eastern countries, who had access to bamboo - person was seated or placed above the bamboo shoot, and the bamboo sprouted through someones body.

Rats only way to get out was through someones body.

    If you want to go on with older methods of torture/execution (which, let's be honest, most of these things were), I would suggest taking a look at the "blood eagle" as it is described in Heimskringla and Orkneyinga saga. The historical accuracy of these accounts are still debated, but they are absolutely plausible and likely to have taken place even if the details might be a bit off. I'll also make the concession that this is a bit less of a torture method as much as an extremely painful method of ritualistic execution.

For your next installment or perhaps a separate series how about looking at torture methods used in film and television. First thing that comes to mind is the scene from Casino Royale where James Bond is tied to a chair with the middle of the seat removed and repeatedly hit in the genitals with a rope knot. What I love about this scene is the line from Le Chiffre: “You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure.”

    The most horrifying I ever heard of was a person tied down and fed/watered. While bamboo was planted under them and letting it grow through them. I can’t remember if that was a novel or an actual torture method. But days/weeks/months of intrusion and infection absolutely traumatized me.

And are we, in fact, doing this to ourselves on a semi voluntary basis with the use of drugs and smartphones etc.

  • @Tornadopelt
    @Tornadopelt Рік тому +1

    12:08 Since nobody's tossed their hat in the ring for the math problem, allow me.
    First, our unit conversions. We've got to convert 1200 pounds into kilograms. Thankfully, the conversion is a single unit conversion factor, giving us 1200 lb = 1200 * (.453592 kg / 1 lb) = _x_ kg. Multiplying 1200 by .453592 gives us... about 544.3 kilograms. Now, we need the acceleration, since force = mass (in kilograms) * acceleration (in m/s).
    Unfortunately, the conversion from miles per hour to meters per second is a *multi-unit* conversion factor, so things get a lot more complicated. First, we need to convert miles to meters, needing this conversion: 40 miles = (5280 ft / 1 mi) * (.3048 m / 1 ft). Since our units cancel out, we get _40 miles = 40 * 5280 * .3048_ = _x_ m. 5280 * .3048 = 1609.344 meters per mile; multiply that by 40 and we get about 64,000 meters per hour. Luckily, the conversion from hours to seconds is *easy* - 1 hr = 1 * (60 min / 1 hr) * (60 sec / 1 min), or 1 hr = (1 * 60 * 60) = _x_ sec, and since 60 * 60 = 3600, we get _1 hr = 3600 sec._
    Finally, for our accel value, we take 64,000 and divide it by 3600 to get... *wow.* 17 meters per second. To put it another way, a human can *sprint* at about 5 m/s. Here's the thing - we know mass, we know acceleration, so F = 544.3 * 17, or about 9,300 newtons! Assuming the average Iliofemoral ligament has a cross-sectional area at its thinnest point of, according to my Mk 1 eyeball, 100 square millimeters (based on a drawing I found of the hip joint), we need... the stress formula.
    Stress (σ) is force/area; with a force of 9,300 newtons and an area of 100 square millimeters, we're talking a force of about 93 megapascals (one newton/m² = .000001 megapascal, so one newton/100 mm² = .01 megapascals)... *constantly.* However, that's if we consider that horse not being *stopped* at all, an instant tear like a 100-square-millimeter "dowel" of wet toilet paper. In reality, what we would see is that horse moving, then its speed being *drastically* reduced. But for how long? Let's work it out.
    The kinetic energy formula is: E = 1/2 ​m v². Energy equals 1/2 of the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity. We know the velocity and the mass, so we plug in the numbers, crunch them out, and get E = 1/2 * 544.3 * 17². Exponent first, then left-to-right multiplication, so E = 1/2 * 544.3 * 289 -> E = 1/2 * 157302 -> E = about 79,000 Joules. And a lot of this energy is being delivered into the ligaments. OUCH.
    But it gets *worse,* because we're not just dealing with a moving object, we're dealing with a moving object that stops suddenly - about a second at my best guess, and... call it a full centimeter or two of "collision distance." Yes, we're talking reverse impact. We have a 544.3-kilogram object moving at 17 meters a second stopping with two centimeters of "collision" distance as that horse is brought to a much slower pace... *briefly.* So, we're going to calculate impact force via the Impact Force formula, but using collision distance. With collision distance, the impact force formula is F = 1/(2 d) m v²; we'll plug and chug again. F = 1/(2 * .02) * 544.3 * 17² -> F = 1/.04 * 544.3 * 17² -> F = 1/.04 * 544.3 * 289 -> F = 25 * 544.3 * 289 -> F = about *3,900,000 newtons,* right into the friggin' ligaments. *OUCH.*
    Let's recalculate *instant* stress using the average force calculated here; using the same estimate of 100 mm², we get a stress of σ = 3,900,000 / 100, or 39,000 MEGAPASCALS *RIGHT INTO THE LIGAMENT. OUCH!* Now, that's not going to *tear* them right off immediately, but it *will* compromise the ligament, meaning *less* stress is needed for a complete tear. And last I checked, muscle and skin can't handle near the level of ligament strain. So... *yeah,* PAIN AND SUFFERING.
