@@theresas740 not where I am from. Nurses sometimes help the new mom with basic stuff like dyper changing or just rocking the baby a bit so they fall asleep. Sometimes they leave the room with the baby for that to give the mon some rest.
@@nela3986 Not sure where you are from, but in the US it is standard procedure to move the baby with the layette. Sure, the hospital tags tell you a lot, but if a nurse tries carrying a baby out of the room it's very suspicious.
I remember one time during Spanish class I felt one of my seizures coming so I notified my teacher and she was keeping an eye on me checking in on me every few minutes as it take a while, usually 30 minutes before it starts. The last thing that I remembered was learning about the Spanish word vosostros and then everything went black. It’s didn’t even feel like 10 seconds and I woke up to atleast 12 people standing around me in scrubs. Apparently I had my seizure and my teacher did the proper protocol, and when I didn’t wake up and I started seizing a second time she called an ambulance for me and had the school nurse come until the paramedics got their. Apparently I had seized atleast four times, and they had put me on oxygen and had a heart monitor on me incase I stoped breathing or my heart rate slowed down. And was about to get the life support machine ready for me. I was ok. I got to go home the next day. She is still my favorite teacher and I don’t know what would have happened if I was in a different class.
@Zachary Williams the Eighth Ok please. Can you be more observant in your comments? I've seen you plenty of other places. It's not necessary to comment on something you don't understand.
In the initial invasion of Afghanistan there was a soldier that got shot by an rpg and surprisingly enough it went through his vehicle and didn’t explode. It just lodged itself into the body of a soldier. Normally this would have simply lead to the soldier dying because it’s too dangerous to operate with a live explosive in their body. However, a doctor evacuated everyone from the area and he along side an explosive expert (EOD) worked together to save that soldier’s life! Now that soldier definitely never walked again and will live with aid of a wheel chair forever but he made it! They took that rpg and set it off on purpose in a safe way far from the base.
Two years ago, my mother went to the hospital due to a widowmaker heart attack. It wasn't her first heart attack, but it was certainly the worst. They decided she needed open heart surgery, and so that Thursday that's exactly what they did. During the surgery there was a complication where a hole was made in her heart. They tried to close it but every time her heart beat it would rip open the sutures. We were told that if her blood pressure dropped or raised by even a little, the odds were that she wasn't going to make it. Even as the lady telling us finished saying that, we heard, "Code: blue ICU bed 2" come over the intercom. That was my mom's bed. We heard those words an additional two times that night. The surgeon in charge as well as everyone else involved performed things they didn't even think they were capable of, in the surgeon's own words. My mom is alive today.
I was in the ER with my daughter, who developed kidney stones at 14, when I heard "Code Silver" announced. I had no idea what it was and there was no nurse nearby to ask, but I overheard a woman in the cubicle next to ours asking her companion what that meant. After a few awkward coughs, the person stammered out that it means there's an elderly person lost in the hospital. (Sounded like the person knew, but didn't want to frighten the woman) A little while later, a nurse came in to check my daughter's IV; I asked her about the code, and she said that there was an armed person on the loose inside the hospital earlier, but he had been apprehended and taken away. (The next day, I read that the man had come into ER with a loaded handgun and demanded to see someone in Intensive Care, where he wasn't allowed because he wasn't patient's family.)
I had a guy break into our operating suite, to finish the job he'd started on his wife, earlier, by shooting her again. I threw a copper at him. And locked the theatre doors.
@@capt.bart.roberts4975Sorry if I sound dumb but what is a copper, I know it's a metal and what pennies are made of but I'm trying to understand what tool it is in this context
He’s 100% right about the code gray. I’ve been the person responsible for a few code grays back in my drinking/drugging days. And yea they WILL tackle you, put you in restraints and even gag you if necessary. 🥴🥴🥴
I was the trouble maker who went Code Blue last week... Woke up to 30 people in my room all knowing exactly what to do... I'm alive because of them... Thanks for all you med professionals do!
Glad you're still here. I had a code blue called on me while in the hospital. But luckily it was a missing cable on my little box they had me hooked up too. After a trip to the bathroom it fell off lol. Before I could shuffle back to bed there was like 15 people in my room. Scared the crap out of everyone.
@°{Burnt_Potato}° happy pride 🥰💖💜💙 pride for everyone! coming from a biromantic asexual (couldn’t find the more specific profile variation), I hope you have a great day, and ily ❤️
It's interesting to see the difference in codes in different areas. In hospitals I've worked at a Code Pink is used for fetus in distress/women's obstetrical emergency, a code white is used for an aggressive/violent person, and a code grey is shelter in place. But a code red, black, and blue seem to be the same everywhere.
Well, that's actually because the code for 'missing/taken' infant tends to change a lot. Even in the same hospital or region. This, I'm told, is to confuse predators who might be on the lookout for such codes to avoid being caught. So areas where kidnapping and such are more common also tend to change their child abduction codes more often.
I've always known code pink as a neonatal code blue, and that's from family who worked in hospitals in Pennsylvania when I was growing up, as well as family & myself working in hospitals in Florida later on. I remember the one hospital my dad worked at & that I worked at (twice; what can I say, the first time they needed the help, the second time I needed the money 😸) used "code Adam" for missing kids, code silver (or gray?) was for missing seniors I believe, white for combative persons (as they may need to see the folks in the white coats 😸), I forget the weapons (green?) or severe weather (purple?) ones; sorry, lol, been a couple decades. Heh, I know brown was only ever used as a joke by the nurses/techs
I noticed that too. Where I am, code white is a mass trauma incident (like there was a multi-vehicle collision on the interstate), code gray is storm (which makes sense, because that's kind of the color the sky turns). I don't remember hearing too many of these. They also had "Code Walker" for wandering patients,
Can’t medical students just watch all of these videos instead of watching long boring videos to explain it. He does it so well while keeping it a lil funny 😄
So fun that you ended with third degree burns as that's my only ER visit - almost 2 yrs ago now. I had this long flouncy skirt on and it caught fire, because I was standing too close to the fireplace, back turned. I had a bunch of second degree burns on butt, hips, ankles, feet, hands. But the real fun came with the third degree burns all up the back of my right thigh. Luckily the ambulance was able to take me all the way into Philly to a fantastic hospital with a burn center. A whole team of doctors and nurses surrounded me in the ER. I was very impressed with the team approach. There had to be 8 or 9 people checking me out. I thought I would just get bandaged up and sent home, but they admitted me and said the burn surgeon had to evaluate me on Monday (it was saturday when I arrived). So I was all like, ok, fine, I am sure I won't need surgery but I can stay to meet the doc. So Monday comes around and he checks my burns and says, yup, you're getting skin grafts. So that surgery was done on Wednesday, with the strips of the skin for grafts harvested from the front of my right thigh. I was sent home the following Monday. To be honest, it was all pretty traumatic. I put up a video of my 10 days in the hospital and my frugalistas contributed a lot of money towards my hospital bill since I didn't have insurance, which was just amazing. I think when I hit the 2 year mark in Feb, I'll put up an update video and show the pictures again of the original injury and what it looked like after surgery and what the scars look like now. I was at Thomas Jefferson Hospital and every single person involved in my care (except 1 overnight nurse who I thought was going to murder me) was outstanding.
I remember when FD posted the video that you had been burned. I can't believe it has already been 2 years. I pray you continue to do well and I love your videos
If you stay in the hospital long enough, you will encounter that one nurse...the one who makes you wonder why they went into nursing when *they hate people!*
I spent 170 days in a hospital back in 2020 and heard most of these a LOT. I also heard walking on sunshine on loop because it's the song that the hospital played anytime a covid patient was discharged.
code blue: patient not breathing code red: fire code black: bomb in the building code pink: baby missing code silver: someone has a weapon code brown: severe weather warning code grey: abusive person on the loose your welcome!
Where I'm from, Toronto, Ontario, code pink means Paediatric Cardiac Arrest. I remember being inside NICU at Mt. Sinai Hospital for almost 3 months and listening to this code called out so often and then watching them wheel away a dead baby. It's sad, very sad, especially when you then encounter the parents in the hallway just seeing the mother balling her eyes out.
I have code pink all the time and I'm locking up the er and I can't find the baby and I tell the nurse did you give the baby to the wrong mom she says that she gave the baby to the right mom but a lie
It’s “bawling”. Bawling her eyes out. Yeah, I’m pedantic. It’s used because most people that are crying as though their heart is broken sound a bit like a calf bawling for its mother. Todays lesson brought to you by the number 13 and the color black.
once I was in the ER to see my niece and there was a code silver I didn't know what it meant but I saw security guards chasing a man holding a baseball bat so as he tried to go past I smacked him full strength with my handbag and now I'm very glad I did 😂
So I used to do hospital security and in my hospital, it was code white instead of code grey. I was in a smaller hospital so I was often solo on take downs. Here's my advice: The moment that security begins to restrain you, comply. It will hurt you less and make for much less paperwork later. If security has to sit with you, we don't wanna be there any more than you do, so chat us up and utilize us to work through your problems. And for the love of god, do not piss off the small redhead nurse, she will fuck you up before security can get there.
I was the one who coded once. Not even in a hospital. I was in an infusion clinic for my first chemo treatment. The nurse had just hooked up my IV not 2 minutes beforehand. I turned red and started having trouble breathing. The doctor that was running the clinic happened to walk by my chair and he ordered the nurses to stop the infusion and give me a shot of epinephrine straight into my IV tube while he went to his office just a few feet away and called a code blue. My oncologist came running into the clinic so fast his coattails were straight out behind him and, on seeing how bad the reaction was, immediately turned stark white and started thinking of different medications to try so I could be treated safely. I think I scared the hell out of everyone there and I KNOW I scared the hell out of myself that day. I’ll never forget that feeling of gasping for breath and not being able to get any air into my lungs. I’ve also been the rescuer in a code blue situation, also not in a hospital. This one was in a school cafeteria. A boy in the class I was with had overstuffed his mouth with food during lunch and part of it got stuck in his throat. He started turning blue while I was getting another student off the stage. The other aide called out to me about him and I gladly traded students with her because she had frozen in her tracks and wasn’t going to be of any help any other way. I grabbed the boy out of his seat, stood him up and started the heimlich on him. Our height difference was too great for that to work though. On noticing that, I bent him over my arm and started giving back blows. He coughed up the food and started hyperventilating to make up for the lack of air and his blue skin slowly started turning back to pink. He was 6 at the time. Now he’s 12 and doing good as far as I know.
I have a code idea for when this whole pandemic is over: Code C; it means a new COVID case has happened and we gotta contain em before they cause the 2nd COVID-19 pandemic.
My mom volunteered the night shift at the ER when she was in college. She has some stories, but the craziest one I heard was the guy that mistook gasoline for fire starter, and walked into the ER from the ambulance entrance completely covered from burns
I was signing a patient in one day when a Code Blue happened, and it was labour and delivery if I remember correctly (either that or maternity). Either way... the patient's little kid asked what it meant and the parent tried to explain. Within a minute the code was cancelled. The kid was very hopeful while the parent and other close adults and I exchanged looks. We never found out if it was a good or bad cancellation. Definitely a different kind of interaction that day. Made us all pause.
A code blue can "accidentally " be triggered by pushing a code blue button in error. If this occurs, you will immediately hear "cancel code blue" often within seconds of initial call. In high risk areas there can be a code blue button which can be pressed in error. I've had family hit them trying to turn on the lights.
@Crystal Ratclffe I was in the hospital and my daughter tried to squeeze past the bed and triggered mine...scared her to death when they all came running into my room
I once accidentally hit the code blue button instead of the call bell when a kid puked and I needed help to clean her and the bed. I apologized soooo many times 😅
My dad raced cars and got into a horrible accident about halfway through his racing career. He had horrid 3rd degree burns and they had to relieve pressure by cutting the skin as well. Until he passed away years later, he had almost no working nerve endings on over 3/4s of his body. Yet he still got back on that track the moment he was able to lol
9:06 at a certain distance from a nuclear explosion you'll get third degree burns over your entire body killings your nerves so fast that its completely painless
That's cool and horrifying at the same time. One moment you're okay, the other you're a big, walking piece of coal. And you don't even feel the change!
I have a lot more but I wish you can make an episode out of what I have. But here are some of my favorite codes for the patient's chart: UNIVAC: unusually nasty infection vultures are circling ECU: Eternal Care Unit as in he's dead he's gone to the ECU UBI: unexplained beer injury Coffin Dodger: someone we thought was going to die but didn't CTD: circling the drain ( I think you can figure this out) AGA: acute gravity attack (fell over) Shotgunning: ordering lots of tests hoping one will identify what's wrong Have a good day Mfkr!!!
I worked at an inpatient psychiatric hospital which was part of a large Level-1 Trauma hospital. Most of these same codes were used across all our departments, and we also used Code Green to indicate a psych. patient had gone missing and the emergency response team should be activated to start looking for them. (It's common for psych patients to try to run away)
Was the code blue in regards to your grandpa or was it for someone else but you just happened to be there visiting your grandpa? It can be very scary. My first born after being delivered via emergency cesarean was the person code blue was called for, his mother was still not out, they had only just weighed him and then called. It's a very chaotic time in hospital when they call code blue isn't it?
its always weird to see colors linked to different things. The hospital i was in: blue is cardiac arrest in adult, pink is in child., yellow was for a patient dissapearing. White is for violent person, red is fire, black is a suspect package, orange is for an outside sinister. Brown is for internal hazardous material spill, grey is for outside hazardous material spill or toxic leak (gas) , green is evacuation. I can imagine how confusing it could be to go from an hospital to the other who each have their own color codes....
It’s for that exact reason that the hospital I work at recently switched to using plain language for everything, even code blues. I still remember all those old codes even if we never used half of them. Red - Fire alarm Blue - CPR needed Yellow - Hazardous spill Orange - Bomb threat Green - Oxygen system failure Gray - Weather watch Black - Weather warning Pink - OB emergency (idk exactly what kind though as they’re in a separate building and I never worked there) White - Missing person 33 - Psych emergency (no idea why it’s a number lol)
It's interesting how codes colours changes around the world. Where I live, "code red" means "lungs/heart doesn't work anymore" aka american "code blue"
@@lindseyhardesty4339 Italy, these are our color codes: Red = patient's heart/lungs don't works anymore/patient's life is threatened and need immediate care. Yellow = patient's life is threatened but its vitals are not as compromised as red code, thet still need care ASAP Are considered Yellow code also patient with chest pain. Cyan = patient vitals are okay, cyan code is when you're injured but not on your organs/arteries etc. Green = patient life is not threatened and conscious. Example of people with green code are patient with a broken leg White = patient life is not threatened and conscious. If you have a white color code, you can go directly to your family doctor since you're safe. Then there are other 3 code: Black = patient is deceased. Orange = patient is contaminated by something like nuclear, chemical, biological, radiation. Blue = pretty the same as red code but out-of-hospital. We also have codes for patient with psychological issues, but they're usually registered as green codes.
Ah, God, nostalgia! I used to work in the ER, and boy, I miss it. These videos remind me how on-my-toes I had to be. Life is so random and so are the people you encounter. It was an experience, to say the least. You're awesome, sir, stay you!
About code blue, for some reason, I got curious about that one specifically. I couldn't help but wonder whether or not it's really because people turn blueish when they die. Apparently, in 1962 Hughes W. Day, M.D. originates the concept of an acute coronary care unit for heart patients and establishes the first such unit in the world at Bethany Medical Center. Dr. Day and his colleagues also developed the cardiac "crash cart" and the term "code blue." The unit's success depended on the use of a highly trained physician-coronary nurse team to effectively lower the mortality rate from acute transmural myocardial infarction. (from Kansas University Medical Center website)
As a former healthcare worker in a nursing home, we never said the q word. We also never said nobody has 'd'ied because just like the q word speaking it out loud is a 100% curse
I'm a St John Ambulance 1st aider (UK) and for burns, I am taught to run them under COOL water for 20 mins+ and then loosely wrap in cycling film. Anything that is partial thickness or full thickness (blistered and/or goes through to the other side) needs to be seen, anything that covers more than 5% of your body (5 hands) needs to be seen, anything that wraps round a limb needs to be seen, anything that it on your extremities (hands and feet) needs to be seen and anything on your head and in the surrounding area needs to be seen. ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT PUT BURN GEL OR ANYTHING ON IT OR IT'LL JUST MAKE OUR JOB HARDER AND IT DOES No GOOD!
He's working really hard and overtime. He's lost just a little weight and hey, aren't your eyebrows a little darker? And about that spanking? Well, I got a raise today. :)
As someone whose been sent to the ER multiple times, these things usually absolutely terrified me. But now watching these it makes me laugh about it instead, it’s hilarious
I was called, no wait, they sent an officer to my house on a Sunday to handle a code gray... I was like seriously, the hospital has drugs you have a stick, tazer and a gun but you're going to come get me... It was handled with no violence and the gentalman became quite compliant after my arrival. I'm not a doctor, security for the hospital or an officer, just a guy with a certain skill set that served and lends a hand when and where needed.
I've been in the hospital for the following codes: Code Red, Code Blue, Code Orange (external disaster) & Code Black (bomb threat). All but the code red were during the same stay. Other codes that don't match the vide: Code Pink ( Pediatric Cardiac Arrest), Code Grey (Loss of services), Code White (missing patient), Code Amber (Missing Infant ̸ Child), Code Brown (Hazardous Spill). Note - these are the standard codes for Ontario, Canada
I’m in the uk and the pull to the right for code blue threw me for a minute. I was like, why would you pull into oncoming traffic?! Hehe. Love how different countries do things differently 😊
You will probably enjoy this non sequiter then. I had just come back from a tour of duty in England, where I operated US military-owned vehicles with left-hand drive and US military-owned vehicles and privately-owned vehicles with right-hand drive. I pulled my own POV out of storage, got it ready to go back on the road and, finally, pulled up to the gate and got ready to go add fresh fuel and change the oil. I had been swapping back and forth between vehicles whose steering wheels were on both sides of the vehicle but always driving to the left of center, and I was mindful of the fact that the traffic was on the opposite side of the road from what I was used to. I was constantly reminding myself that the traffic on the near side of the road was coming from the left and traffic on the far side was coming from the right, so when the way was clear I let the clutch out and accelerated. Alas, I forgot one important thing. I accelerated and gained enough speed that I could upshift into second gear, pushed the clutch in, reached for the gear shift . . . and punched the driver's side door with my left hand. And I hit it hard too. That smarted.
Many years ago, when I did volunteer work at the major hospital in town as a teen "Rose Girl", there was a Code, um, I think it was "Code Yellow" - someone had escaped from the locked psych ward! Code Blue definitely meant "hug the walls in the halls, because there's going to be people running."
In regards to butter on a burn my Baba told me that in the old days before running water or electricity on the farm one of the few cool/cold items was butter. So while still wrapped it would be used as an ice pack. She had some choice words for anyone who “treated their body like a piece of toast” (her words)
My mom worked in the ER and said the Q word once and she said everyone looked at her with a certain look and then tons of people showed up. I can safely say she never said it again.
I have been the reason for code grey in the er. Vehicle accident and was still in/out of responsiveness. Most of the time I have no clue where I was and panicked. Finally coming too and realizing I am "tied" to the bed was a shocker. I definitely felt like an ass.
At our hospital, code gray is code green. We also call a 'rapid response' overhead when its not a full code blue. All of these are accurate haha. - sincerely a hospital security guard
I find it interesting how some hospitals have different codes for things. Code blue and red are often the same though. My mom worked as a nurse for years and code brown did actually mean a mess to clean up at her hospital. However this difference does kind of make sense as the place we live doesn't have tornadoes or huge storms almost at all (I think there are only 2 recorded tornadoes in this area since it was settled and neither of them were fatal. We live in Utah)
I’ve coded blue before. Luckily I was able to come back quickly. I was told that I coded twice. All I remember was waking up and had like 10 people in my room and the crash chart in the room. I was in my mid 20s, when this all happened. My ex wife then wife is telling my daughter and others that if was because I was dehydrated and my organs started shutting down. I have family history of heart problems and I was just diagnosed with POTS, I’m in my late 30s now. Good old days. 😂
Okay to be fair at 6:08 it's true. My mother is a nurse, and while she may not work at a hospital she does work at a retirement home. Any time the Q-word is said there's tons of falls, admissions, meds, orders, call lights, etc. So never say the Q-word if it's quiet in a medical place.
there was a code pink while i was at a doctor's appointment that happened to be in a hospital. at a certain point they stopped repeating it, and my doc said the little ankle monitors the newborns wear are extra sensitive so sometimes they have false alarms. so yeah, code pink sometimes means missing baby, but sometimes they just bumped a baby's monitor or one got too close to the door
My brother decided he wanted a tan one time. So he decided that he was going to lay out in the sun for two hours. The New Mexican desert sun I might add. He then had to be rushed to the emergency room for second degree burns. The funny thing is he always gave me shit because I hated wearing sunscreen whenever I went outside. Sure, I came back burnt to a crisp. But I wasn't stupid enough to go for a tan.
I live in New Mexico, northwestern plateau. My sister laid out in the sun on a tin roof,she got burned really bad. My brother used to get blistered when he worked outside without his shirt. Living at 5200 feet will get you in trouble without sunscreen!
Although the scenario for 3rd degree burns was amusing, my brother and a family friend suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to their faces and hands when the safety valve on the propane heater they were using while hunting in the Colorado mountains failed to close when the pilot light went out. All the propane leaked into the tent, they did not smell it, and when they went to light the lantern, the gas ignited. Unfortunately they did not have "cool water" for the burns, they did however have over a foot of new snow. It took several hours of driving to reach medical help. Thanks to the wonderful medical staff, neither of them have noticeable facial scars, and the ones on my brother's hands are only evident if you know what happened.
I burned my entire leg with boil water once. Second degree. My dad was talking to my mom over the phone like: “He’s fine, it’s not that bad” then he said” how big is it” and my non said it was bigger than two of her hands and he was like “OH SHIT, GET HIM TO THE HOSPITAL!”
I understand that different hospitals have different meanings, but I think one Code is pretty universal: Code Adam, missing baby. It’s also used in many other venues, for their same situation.
At Walmart, my 4 yr old son was the code Adam. 😩. They shut the doors and every employee looked for my little. It only lasted a few minutes but it is a shock to hear that about your kid.
I finally understand why your voice is very charismatic to my ears, you’re spongebob who went through puberty. Grew up with spongebob. this is a compliment, btw. Keep it up! 👌🏻
I worked at a hospital close enough to a nuclear power plant that we had an additional Code Orange that we drilled for: how to respond to an accident/event involving radiation exposure. Separately, a different hospital's Code Brown was always announced along with a Nurse Station, example "Code Brown, 4 North wing" it meant there was an open box of chocolates, come share.
Thanks for making this video! I’m a huge fan of your channel because while I’m working on a story with quite a bit of medical scenes, you make learning about correct medical things fun!!
My dad's sleep apnea was so bad that when he went into the hospital for a heart attack he triggered a code blues several times in the night. (He was fine)
Can you please make more merch options? I'd really like just some regular t-shirts. I like to buy shirts to support my favorite youtubers and wear them as pajamas :D
As the queen of hot glue guns I’ve gotten so many second degree burns that when I get one it doesn’t even hurt anymore. I’m just annoyed bc blisters on my fingertips ruin my ability to draw digitally
Just days after giving birth NC experienced a massive ice storm, we thankfully had warning but the nurses were dong everything to make sure me and the twins were well enough to send home before the storm hit cause they were locking the hospital down for a code brown shelter in place. Thankfully we just made the deadline and got to go home. The Q word, I actually made a joke about that when I was in the ER with my daughter. It was busy as fucking hell in there like insane levels of busy. It was also the day before a full moon and as she was being triaged I asked her 'okay so who uttered the dreaded Q word before the full moon?"
Wow, I didn't expect hospital codes to vary like this! Code brown = biohazardous spill (yes, including human waste in unexpected places), code white = violent person, purple = hostage situation or active shooter, grey = shelter-in-place/air exclusion, green is for evacuation, orange for mass casualties incoming. Yellow is for missing person. At least blue, red, and black are the same I guess 🤷
My boyfriends mom got a horrid second degree burn on her foot and up her leg and her first choice was toothpaste. He yelled at her after I told him it would hurt her skin more. She even said the doctors were wrong and that their Asian home remedies were what’s going to help it. Let’s just say she had an unhealed burn for 5 months before it started to scar. She’s very stubborn but we love her lol.
I work in emergency veterinary medicine. The last time someone said the “quite” we had 5 emergencies come in. 2 dogs hit by the same train, a dog having seizures in the lobby, a strangulation victim, a cat and a dog who had trouble breathing. We do not say that word. EVER!!
I was in the ER for irregular heartbeat, during my pregnancy, when a lady in the next curtain over coded. Yes they all ran in and yes the team was sh*tting it. Yes they got her back and OMGi heard her asking them questions immediately after being shocked back. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳💩
I've had to live thru code silver. Active shooter on my floor. 1 dead 2 others shot 1 paralyzed for life. One of my employees had a heart attack from the stress. We had to wait 4 hours for swat to evacuate us not knowing what was going on. All I could do is grab people from the cubes outside my office lock the door and hide. I never want to live through that experience again.

Apparently I had seized atleast four times, and they had put me on oxygen and had a heart monitor on me incase I stoped breathing or my heart rate slowed down. And was about to get the life support machine ready for me. I was ok. I got to go home the next day. She is still my favorite teacher and I don’t know what would have happened if I was in a different class.
This teacher knew exactly what to do. I understand why she’s your favorite teacher, in my eyes she’s a precious Pearl

In the initial invasion of Afghanistan there was a soldier that got shot by an rpg and surprisingly enough it went through his vehicle and didn’t explode. It just lodged itself into the body of a soldier. Normally this would have simply lead to the soldier dying because it’s too dangerous to operate with a live explosive in their body. However, a doctor evacuated everyone from the area and he along side an explosive expert (EOD) worked together to save that soldier’s life! Now that soldier definitely never walked again and will live with aid of a wheel chair forever but he made it! They took that rpg and set it off on purpose in a safe way far from the base.
I heard about that case elsewhere, but not that the lad never walked again. That is sad. I hope he finds pleasure in life.
That's incredible!!!

Two years ago, my mother went to the hospital due to a widowmaker heart attack. It wasn't her first heart attack, but it was certainly the worst. They decided she needed open heart surgery, and so that Thursday that's exactly what they did. During the surgery there was a complication where a hole was made in her heart. They tried to close it but every time her heart beat it would rip open the sutures.
We were told that if her blood pressure dropped or raised by even a little, the odds were that she wasn't going to make it. Even as the lady telling us finished saying that, we heard, "Code: blue ICU bed 2" come over the intercom. That was my mom's bed. We heard those words an additional two times that night.
The surgeon in charge as well as everyone else involved performed things they didn't even think they were capable of, in the surgeon's own words. My mom is alive today.

I found a way around this. Say Tuesday. But once whatever catches on, a new word will need to be chosen. So far, Tuesday still holds.
I was in the ER with my daughter, who developed kidney stones at 14, when I heard "Code Silver" announced. I had no idea what it was and there was no nurse nearby to ask, but I overheard a woman in the cubicle next to ours asking her companion what that meant. After a few awkward coughs, the person stammered out that it means there's an elderly person lost in the hospital. (Sounded like the person knew, but didn't want to frighten the woman) A little while later, a nurse came in to check my daughter's IV; I asked her about the code, and she said that there was an armed person on the loose inside the hospital earlier, but he had been apprehended and taken away. (The next day, I read that the man had come into ER with a loaded handgun and demanded to see someone in Intensive Care, where he wasn't allowed because he wasn't patient's family.)
That’s fucking scary. Hope your daughter is ok and everyone else in the hospital alongside you.

It's interesting to see the difference in codes in different areas. In hospitals I've worked at a Code Pink is used for fetus in distress/women's obstetrical emergency, a code white is used for an aggressive/violent person, and a code grey is shelter in place. But a code red, black, and blue seem to be the same everywhere.
Well, that's actually because the code for 'missing/taken' infant tends to change a lot. Even in the same hospital or region. This, I'm told, is to confuse predators who might be on the lookout for such codes to avoid being caught. So areas where kidnapping and such are more common also tend to change their child abduction codes more often.
@@yndrelbosch3678huh. Interesting
I've always known code pink as a neonatal code blue, and that's from family who worked in hospitals in Pennsylvania when I was growing up, as well as family & myself working in hospitals in Florida later on. I remember the one hospital my dad worked at & that I worked at (twice; what can I say, the first time they needed the help, the second time I needed the money 😸) used "code Adam" for missing kids, code silver (or gray?) was for missing seniors I believe, white for combative persons (as they may need to see the folks in the white coats 😸), I forget the weapons (green?) or severe weather (purple?) ones; sorry, lol, been a couple decades. Heh, I know brown was only ever used as a joke by the nurses/techs
I noticed that too. Where I am, code white is a mass trauma incident (like there was a multi-vehicle collision on the interstate), code gray is storm (which makes sense, because that's kind of the color the sky turns). I don't remember hearing too many of these. They also had "Code Walker" for wandering patients,

THANK YOU!! Tell that to medical schools.
So fun that you ended with third degree burns as that's my only ER visit - almost 2 yrs ago now. I had this long flouncy skirt on and it caught fire, because I was standing too close to the fireplace, back turned. I had a bunch of second degree burns on butt, hips, ankles, feet, hands. But the real fun came with the third degree burns all up the back of my right thigh. Luckily the ambulance was able to take me all the way into Philly to a fantastic hospital with a burn center. A whole team of doctors and nurses surrounded me in the ER. I was very impressed with the team approach. There had to be 8 or 9 people checking me out. I thought I would just get bandaged up and sent home, but they admitted me and said the burn surgeon had to evaluate me on Monday (it was saturday when I arrived). So I was all like, ok, fine, I am sure I won't need surgery but I can stay to meet the doc. So Monday comes around and he checks my burns and says, yup, you're getting skin grafts. So that surgery was done on Wednesday, with the strips of the skin for grafts harvested from the front of my right thigh. I was sent home the following Monday. To be honest, it was all pretty traumatic. I put up a video of my 10 days in the hospital and my frugalistas contributed a lot of money towards my hospital bill since I didn't have insurance, which was just amazing. I think when I hit the 2 year mark in Feb, I'll put up an update video and show the pictures again of the original injury and what it looked like after surgery and what the scars look like now. I was at Thomas Jefferson Hospital and every single person involved in my care (except 1 overnight nurse who I thought was going to murder me) was outstanding.
I remember when FD posted the video that you had been burned. I can't believe it has already been 2 years. I pray you continue to do well and I love your videos
If you stay in the hospital long enough, you will encounter that one nurse...the one who makes you wonder why they went into nursing when *they hate people!*
My daughter is always saying "Tips from the ER" randomly at home 😂😂

Codes can change depending on location. But Code blue & Code Red are typically the same.
"You're". You're welcome.
Nice pfp
Where I'm from, Toronto, Ontario, code pink means Paediatric Cardiac Arrest. I remember being inside NICU at Mt. Sinai Hospital for almost 3 months and listening to this code called out so often and then watching them wheel away a dead baby. It's sad, very sad, especially when you then encounter the parents in the hallway just seeing the mother balling her eyes out.
I have code pink all the time and I'm locking up the er and I can't find the baby and I tell the nurse did you give the baby to the wrong mom she says that she gave the baby to the right mom but a lie
I'd like his videos better without the profanity. Not funny. Totally unnecessary.

@@yvetteking7749Well could be you haven't worked in an ER.

once I was in the ER to see my niece and there was a code silver I didn't know what it meant but I saw security guards chasing a man holding a baseball bat so as he tried to go past I smacked him full strength with my handbag and now I'm very glad I did 😂
So I used to do hospital security and in my hospital, it was code white instead of code grey. I was in a smaller hospital so I was often solo on take downs. Here's my advice: The moment that security begins to restrain you, comply. It will hurt you less and make for much less paperwork later. If security has to sit with you, we don't wanna be there any more than you do, so chat us up and utilize us to work through your problems. And for the love of god, do not piss off the small redhead nurse, she will fuck you up before security can get there.
As a matter of fact, never piss off a small red-headed ANYBODY.....just sayin'.

Bwah haha
My oldest daughter in a nutshell
every hospital has that red head nurse, ours was in the ER. get mouthy and you will end up with a tube in your willie.
I always had code pinks
Lol
The redhead...
I was the one who coded once. Not even in a hospital. I was in an infusion clinic for my first chemo treatment. The nurse had just hooked up my IV not 2 minutes beforehand. I turned red and started having trouble breathing. The doctor that was running the clinic happened to walk by my chair and he ordered the nurses to stop the infusion and give me a shot of epinephrine straight into my IV tube while he went to his office just a few feet away and called a code blue. My oncologist came running into the clinic so fast his coattails were straight out behind him and, on seeing how bad the reaction was, immediately turned stark white and started thinking of different medications to try so I could be treated safely. I think I scared the hell out of everyone there and I KNOW I scared the hell out of myself that day. I’ll never forget that feeling of gasping for breath and not being able to get any air into my lungs. I’ve also been the rescuer in a code blue situation, also not in a hospital. This one was in a school cafeteria. A boy in the class I was with had overstuffed his mouth with food during lunch and part of it got stuck in his throat. He started turning blue while I was getting another student off the stage. The other aide called out to me about him and I gladly traded students with her because she had frozen in her tracks and wasn’t going to be of any help any other way. I grabbed the boy out of his seat, stood him up and started the heimlich on him. Our height difference was too great for that to work though. On noticing that, I bent him over my arm and started giving back blows. He coughed up the food and started hyperventilating to make up for the lack of air and his blue skin slowly started turning back to pink. He was 6 at the time. Now he’s 12 and doing good as far as I know.
At this point, if a code is called I’m just going to think if it’s this or a pandemic that will take me out
I have a code idea for when this whole pandemic is over: Code C; it means a new COVID case has happened and we gotta contain em before they cause the 2nd COVID-19 pandemic.

I was signing a patient in one day when a Code Blue happened, and it was labour and delivery if I remember correctly (either that or maternity). Either way... the patient's little kid asked what it meant and the parent tried to explain. Within a minute the code was cancelled. The kid was very hopeful while the parent and other close adults and I exchanged looks. We never found out if it was a good or bad cancellation. Definitely a different kind of interaction that day. Made us all pause.
A code blue can "accidentally " be triggered by pushing a code blue button in error. If this occurs, you will immediately hear "cancel code blue" often within seconds of initial call. In high risk areas there can be a code blue button which can be pressed in error. I've had family hit them trying to turn on the lights.
@Crystal Ratclffe I was in the hospital and my daughter tried to squeeze past the bed and triggered mine...scared her to death when they all came running into my room
I once accidentally hit the code blue button instead of the call bell when a kid puked and I needed help to clean her and the bed. I apologized soooo many times 😅

White is for violent person, red is fire, black is a suspect package, orange is for an outside sinister. Brown is for internal hazardous material spill, grey is for outside hazardous material spill or toxic leak (gas) , green is evacuation.
I can imagine how confusing it could be to go from an hospital to the other who each have their own color codes....
It’s for that exact reason that the hospital I work at recently switched to using plain language for everything, even code blues. I still remember all those old codes even if we never used half of them.

Blue - CPR needed
Yellow - Hazardous spill
Orange - Bomb threat
Green - Oxygen system failure
Gray - Weather watch
Black - Weather warning
Pink - OB emergency (idk exactly what kind though as they’re in a separate building and I never worked there)
White - Missing person
33 - Psych emergency (no idea why it’s a number lol)

@@lindseyhardesty4339 Italy, these are our color codes:
Red = patient's heart/lungs don't works anymore/patient's life is threatened and need immediate care.
Yellow = patient's life is threatened but its vitals are not as compromised as red code, thet still need care ASAP
Are considered Yellow code also patient with chest pain.
Cyan = patient vitals are okay, cyan code is when you're injured but not on your organs/arteries etc.
Green = patient life is not threatened and conscious. Example of people with green code are patient with a broken leg
White = patient life is not threatened and conscious. If you have a white color code, you can go directly to your family doctor since you're safe.
Then there are other 3 code:
Black = patient is deceased.
Orange = patient is contaminated by something like nuclear, chemical, biological, radiation.
Blue = pretty the same as red code but out-of-hospital.
We also have codes for patient with psychological issues, but they're usually registered as green codes.

Ah yes silver, the shinner version of gray
About code blue, for some reason, I got curious about that one specifically. I couldn't help but wonder whether or not it's really because people turn blueish when they die. Apparently, in 1962 Hughes W. Day, M.D. originates the concept of an acute coronary care unit for heart patients and establishes the first such unit in the world at Bethany Medical Center. Dr. Day and his colleagues also developed the cardiac "crash cart" and the term "code blue." The unit's success depended on the use of a highly trained physician-coronary nurse team to effectively lower the mortality rate from acute transmural myocardial infarction. (from Kansas University Medical Center website)

I had just come back from a tour of duty in England, where I operated US military-owned vehicles with left-hand drive and US military-owned vehicles and privately-owned vehicles with right-hand drive. I pulled my own POV out of storage, got it ready to go back on the road and, finally, pulled up to the gate and got ready to go add fresh fuel and change the oil. I had been swapping back and forth between vehicles whose steering wheels were on both sides of the vehicle but always driving to the left of center, and I was mindful of the fact that the traffic was on the opposite side of the road from what I was used to. I was constantly reminding myself that the traffic on the near side of the road was coming from the left and traffic on the far side was coming from the right, so when the way was clear I let the clutch out and accelerated. Alas, I forgot one important thing.
I accelerated and gained enough speed that I could upshift into second gear, pushed the clutch in, reached for the gear shift . . . and punched the driver's side door with my left hand. And I hit it hard too. That smarted.

Many years ago, when I did volunteer work at the major hospital in town as a teen "Rose Girl", there was a Code, um, I think it was "Code Yellow" - someone had escaped from the locked psych ward!
Code Blue definitely meant "hug the walls in the halls, because there's going to be people running."
Your code red response is so true. I am frequently at OSU medical center. The fire alarm goes off, everyone just stands there.
In regards to butter on a burn my Baba told me that in the old days before running water or electricity on the farm one of the few cool/cold items was butter.

My mom worked in the ER and said the Q word once and she said everyone looked at her with a certain look and then tons of people showed up. I can safely say she never said it again.
I have been the reason for code grey in the er. Vehicle accident and was still in/out of responsiveness. Most of the time I have no clue where I was and panicked. Finally coming too and realizing I am "tied" to the bed was a shocker. I definitely felt like an ass.
At our hospital, code gray is code green. We also call a 'rapid response' overhead when its not a full code blue. All of these are accurate haha. - sincerely a hospital security guard
I find it interesting how some hospitals have different codes for things. Code blue and red are often the same though. My mom worked as a nurse for years and code brown did actually mean a mess to clean up at her hospital. However this difference does kind of make sense as the place we live doesn't have tornadoes or huge storms almost at all (I think there are only 2 recorded tornadoes in this area since it was settled and neither of them were fatal. We live in Utah)
I’ve coded blue before. Luckily I was able to come back quickly. I was told that I coded twice. All I remember was waking up and had like 10 people in my room and the crash chart in the room.
I was in my mid 20s, when this all happened. My ex wife then wife is telling my daughter and others that if was because I was dehydrated and my organs started shutting down.
I have family history of heart problems and I was just diagnosed with POTS, I’m in my late 30s now. Good old days. 😂

3rd degree burn scenario (heroin, candles, fire) happened in the apartment next to mine about 25 years ago. I have a feeling this is common.
In the backwoods of Virginia they get meth lab explosions on a regular basis
there was a code pink while i was at a doctor's appointment that happened to be in a hospital. at a certain point they stopped repeating it, and my doc said the little ankle monitors the newborns wear are extra sensitive so sometimes they have false alarms. so yeah, code pink sometimes means missing baby, but sometimes they just bumped a baby's monitor or one got too close to the door
1:40 don't believe for a minute that Russians would not do that
Us communist will make sacrifices for the greater good
My brother decided he wanted a tan one time. So he decided that he was going to lay out in the sun for two hours. The New Mexican desert sun I might add. He then had to be rushed to the emergency room for second degree burns. The funny thing is he always gave me shit because I hated wearing sunscreen whenever I went outside. Sure, I came back burnt to a crisp. But I wasn't stupid enough to go for a tan.
I live in New Mexico, northwestern plateau. My sister laid out in the sun on a tin roof,she got burned really bad. My brother used to get blistered when he worked outside without his shirt. Living at 5200 feet will get you in trouble without sunscreen!
@@cynthiacockrell4569 Geeze...
The way I read that made it sound like there was a new sun in mexico
"Evacuate yo aSsSs" idk but this sent me
Although the scenario for 3rd degree burns was amusing, my brother and a family friend suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to their faces and hands when the safety valve on the propane heater they were using while hunting in the Colorado mountains failed to close when the pilot light went out. All the propane leaked into the tent, they did not smell it, and when they went to light the lantern, the gas ignited. Unfortunately they did not have "cool water" for the burns, they did however have over a foot of new snow. It took several hours of driving to reach medical help. Thanks to the wonderful medical staff, neither of them have noticeable facial scars, and the ones on my brother's hands are only evident if you know what happened.
CODE BLUE MUTHERFERS PULL TO THE MOTHER-F-ING RIGHT!!!!
I burned my entire leg with boil water once. Second degree. My dad was talking to my mom over the phone like:
“He’s fine, it’s not that bad” then he said” how big is it” and my non said it was bigger than two of her hands and he was like “OH SHIT, GET HIM TO THE HOSPITAL!”
I understand that different hospitals have different meanings, but I think one Code is pretty universal: Code Adam, missing baby. It’s also used in many other venues, for their same situation.
At Walmart, my 4 yr old son was the code Adam. 😩. They shut the doors and every employee looked for my little. It only lasted a few minutes but it is a shock to hear that about your kid.
@@LauraDickenson my kiddo was a code Adam at a target about a decade ago... she was found, thank God. You're absolutely correct: scariest thing ever
Need to say that you are the one person who makes MFer hysterically funny.
I finally understand why your voice is very charismatic to my ears, you’re spongebob who went through puberty. Grew up with spongebob. this is a compliment, btw. Keep it up! 👌🏻
I worked at a hospital close enough to a nuclear power plant that we had an additional Code Orange that we drilled for: how to respond to an accident/event involving radiation exposure. Separately, a different hospital's Code Brown was always announced along with a Nurse Station, example "Code Brown, 4 North wing" it meant there was an open box of chocolates, come share.
6:31 HOW DID HE KNOW I GOT A SMALL FIRST DEGREE BURN ON MY WRIST WHILE MAKING GRILLED CHEESE?!
Thanks for making this video! I’m a huge fan of your channel because while I’m working on a story with quite a bit of medical scenes, you make learning about correct medical things fun!!
My dad's sleep apnea was so bad that when he went into the hospital for a heart attack he triggered a code blues several times in the night. (He was fine)
Can you please make more merch options? I'd really like just some regular t-shirts. I like to buy shirts to support my favorite youtubers and wear them as pajamas :D
You are the most entertaining and informative person by far on any platform lately
I love the reference he made about hiding your kids, wife, and husband when he was talking about code silver lmfao
1:05
Replace the rest of "code red drills" with "school fire drills", then its accurate to me. 🤣💀
As the queen of hot glue guns I’ve gotten so many second degree burns that when I get one it doesn’t even hurt anymore. I’m just annoyed bc blisters on my fingertips ruin my ability to draw digitally
My year old baby went into code blue due to severe FPIES. Thanks to the drs and nurses that rushed in. He's well and in my arms now ❤️
Me, an ER registrar who has experienced almost all of these: *quiet crying*
this makes me confident that i when i stop breathing, the doctors will just revive me
Just days after giving birth NC experienced a massive ice storm, we thankfully had warning but the nurses were dong everything to make sure me and the twins were well enough to send home before the storm hit cause they were locking the hospital down for a code brown shelter in place. Thankfully we just made the deadline and got to go home.
The Q word, I actually made a joke about that when I was in the ER with my daughter. It was busy as fucking hell in there like insane levels of busy. It was also the day before a full moon and as she was being triaged I asked her 'okay so who uttered the dreaded Q word before the full moon?"
This guy needs to teach classes in this style 😆
Wow, I didn't expect hospital codes to vary like this! Code brown = biohazardous spill (yes, including human waste in unexpected places), code white = violent person, purple = hostage situation or active shooter, grey = shelter-in-place/air exclusion, green is for evacuation, orange for mass casualties incoming. Yellow is for missing person. At least blue, red, and black are the same I guess 🤷
Okay, but now I really want to go to the ER just to say "wow, it's so quiet here today" and just watch the chaos unfold.
I like ur pfp
Chaotic evil 😂😂😂
“Or they have a rubber duck!”
Me:
**flashback to when George hit Tommy in the eye with a rubber duck**
My boyfriends mom got a horrid second degree burn on her foot and up her leg and her first choice was toothpaste. He yelled at her after I told him it would hurt her skin more. She even said the doctors were wrong and that their Asian home remedies were what’s going to help it. Let’s just say she had an unhealed burn for 5 months before it started to scar. She’s very stubborn but we love her lol.
I work in emergency veterinary medicine. The last time someone said the “quite” we had 5 emergencies come in. 2 dogs hit by the same train, a dog having seizures in the lobby, a strangulation victim, a cat and a dog who had trouble breathing. We do not say that word. EVER!!
Lol, since silver was right after pink, I thought it was a missing old person.
It’s weird we don’t have one in our hospital, we had a dementia patient go missing for 30 minutes and no one noticed
I was in the ER for irregular heartbeat, during my pregnancy, when a lady in the next curtain over coded. Yes they all ran in and yes the team was sh*tting it. Yes they got her back and OMGi heard her asking them questions immediately after being shocked back. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳💩
Steven, you are so damned funny! I found your channel yesterday and I can't stop watching!
I've had to live thru code silver. Active shooter on my floor. 1 dead 2 others shot 1 paralyzed for life. One of my employees had a heart attack from the stress. We had to wait 4 hours for swat to evacuate us not knowing what was going on. All I could do is grab people from the cubes outside my office lock the door and hide. I never want to live through that experience again.
