I absolutely adore the “realism” that this guy says. He doesn’t sugarcoat stuff but explains it in black-and-white, so even the most idiotic stupid person could understand.
he is totally right about parents needing to be calm. when I was four years old, I tripped at daycare and managed to slightly crack my skull. (the day care was in a basement and had a really thin carpet before concrete) the teacher told me I was okay before picking me up and seeing the damage, but because she managed to hide me and my bloody self from mirrors, other children, and her face, I was convinced it was just like when a scrapped knee hurts a lot but is fine. never, ever let the child realize how broken it is, the only thing that could have made the situation worse is if I had know what happened because then I would have been screaming. kids are okay if they think they are okay. I still have a small scar ten years later but no trauma of the incident. I also got angry with a doctor while getting stiches, not because of pain but because they were blocking me from the TV.
YES! Kids mirror your emotions, I ALWAYS tell people this and especially parents but they freak out anyway! I grew up with 4 younger siblings and you really quickly learn this when you're the one who's taking care of them 80% of the time. I try to keep a serious but calm approach whenever a kid is significantly injured, and I try to keep them busy by asking them what they were doing and trying to get them to tell me how they feel. Kids are usually calmer when you're calm, and will happily explain everything to you as long as your attitude is not aggressive.
I fuckin' love these videos! I have a chronic condition which has put me into ER more times than I like to think about. I wish they could run these on a continuous loop on the TV's in the waiting room! I've seen things I can't unsee, man. Keep 'em coming!
Love these tips! I had chest pains at age 34. Turns out I had acute pulmonary embolisms in my left lung. I got rushed through and was diagnosed in about an hour. The whole thing was pretty scary but the doctors were all over it and start anti-coagulation meds ASAP.
As a Canadian, we would love to have you! I'm sure you could still find plenty of stuff to make fun of in our hospitals, but at least no one gets mad at how much your charging them to save their life!
They can charge people a few thousand for a stupid cut. There was a case of new parents freaking out because their kid cut herself and it seemed to be bleeding way too much so they went in, they waited long enough that it stopped bleeding and the doctor just cleaned the would in the sink and put a bandaid on it. They got a bill for $2k. They had insurance. Life saving can cost millions.
"If it's THC we'll leave you the fuck alone and maybe get you a snack" Thank you man 🤙🏻 that's some funny shit and why you're so popular, one reason lol
My brother in law had a massive heart attack at 29 and had open heart surgery. He is athletic, ate healthy and very laid back so everyone was shocked when this happened. My nephew started having heart complications at 18, and like his dad is very active, eats healthy and takes care of himself while his little brother is the total opposite and has a very healthy heart.
It's crazy how that works ...my sister has never smoked, takes care of herself, I on the other hand was a drug baby (opiates, amphetamines, barbiturates), I have always been sick, but when COVID ravished our house, I was one of the least sick, she was the ABSOLUTE WORST! I was so worried she was going to end up in the hospital 😢, it was so horrible! So important, I was taken in by her mom as a teenager, our mom never did drugs while pregnant 💝
out of curiosity, when did this happen? This long after covid I have been reading a heart attack in younger people is sometimes the first symptom of the virus.
Man one thing - please tell everyone the wait can be up to 12hrs. I have waited 11hrs and then three days in the ER to be admitted. Definitely because Covid and transplant patients had a hard time in my area. Either way you guys are Fkn the sht most of my most calm and anxiety free stays are from you guys talking to me and doing things very easy to work with. You guys work hard and thank for that. You save lives and that is one of the most beautiful acts you can do. Putting yourself in harms way to help.
So I’m normally a pretty chill guy, not overly worried or stressed about anything, last year I woke up clutching my chest with a pain I have never felt in my life, I genuinely thought I was going to die I had an anxiety attack. Anxiety isn’t in your head, it can physically hurt you. Stay safe folks
My first panic attack sent me to the ER. Between my racing heart, chest pain and feeling of "impending doom," aka, "I'm dying!!" I thought I was a goner. BUT by the time I got there, it was over and I was crying like a cold baby.
The mind, the brain, is unbelievably powerful. Put too much stress on it and it WILL cripple you. If you've never experienced a panic attack, you don't want to and you have zero idea just how hard it is to do normal, day to day things. If you've been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, seek therapy. It's every bit as real as having a broken leg or collapsed rib cage...
That heart attacks in women and panic attacks can look identical really doesn't help with the anxiety causing the panic attack either. Then add some acid reflux just for kicks and giggles! ... it was not a fun day...
@@Darthbelal I don't have anxiety disorder that I know of, but I'm bad around people...amplifies it. I'm normally okay...today I went shopping (I work the store and normally shop after I get off 3rd shift, not many people.) I do my best to be nice, but after WalMart, Spencer's and Hot Topic I went from me to calling the person who pulled out in front of me a c**t, everyone in traffic was "B***h!", and "GREEN MEANS GO MOTHERF****ER!!" at the top of my lungs...I was shaking. I've been there before. I was provided with love and calming music....could've gone much worse.
That heart attack thing: 1. Anxiety (check) 2. Pulled muscle (check) 3. Weed (wait, isn’t that just anxiety with help?) Missing: 4. Acid reflux... by far my favourite. - “Honey, my chest hurts.” - “?” *takes vitals* “You’ll be fine. Here drink this and if it doesn’t get better in half an hour call me... I got to make it to the huddle on time.” - *sends text* “I’m feeling better.”
Oddly enough, because women experience heart attack in all sorts of crazy ways, they are more likely to die of heart attack because they thought it was just "heart burn" or "indigestion."
I smoked 3 packs a day for 11 year and shot 3 grams or more of heroin a day for about 18 years. IV had chest pains for years, I figure it just my clogged and collapsed veins and arteries. P.s, IV been clean from drugs for 6 years and smoke free for 4. I also have cluster migraines, which masks trigger, and I still manage to wear my mask. If I can do, EVERYONE can.
You are so funny while pitching some truth and information about health care and the e.r. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these.
Haha! When I went into labor I had to be put in the hallway because the OB dept was full until some mom & babes moved on. It was not the end of the world. When my son was small we spent a LOT of time in the ER, I kept a bag of entertainment supplies for him hooked on the handle of the front door to grab and go. The ER staff were very happy that my child was not getting into their business and stuff. Parents, even in a panic, can fill an ER survival totebag as they go out the door.
No fair! Lol! You get to say all the things I think on a daily basis but, I have to bite my tongue or keep my thoughts to myself. Ohhh....if only I could answer every foolish, selfish question...I admire you. You're honesty is hilariously true. Sometimes it's so sad....but, so very true. Best of luck to you always. Keep the videos coming...you are my comic relief after my 3 nightshifts and 2 extra shifts because we are so "shortstaffed." I need more comic relief!🙄😞😴🤬🥺
I went to a pediatric urgent care bc I was having chest pains and I went because I’ve been around cigarette smoke all my life and have a family history of heart problems. It was just a pulled muscle. I wish I found you sooner bc I wouldn’t have sobbed in the room waiting to die as I freaked out for no reason.
Love your channel! I’ve had to go to the ER multiple times for chest pain with the first being when I was only 19. While not a heart attack I have a heart/autonomic system issue which can cause tachycardia so severe I go into V-tach…which can be deadly. I’ve had cardioversion(aka being shocked) 7 times. 😕 They can’t put in an automatic defibrillator Bc my tachycardia gets above 150 often just from standing up or even randomly when sitting/laying down. It’s a pain. So I have an implanted monitor which alerts to my phone when it gets too high or starts turning into any dangerous rhythm. It’s a rare issue so I’ve had trouble having ER drs take me seriously due to my young age.
@@belgadog99 Yes a yet undetermined type of dysautonomia as well as another autonomic function disorder. They are having trouble untangling the two so they can be definitively identified.
My daughter had misdiagnosed Lyme disease for 8 months. She developed dysautonomia, severe migraine, very low blood pressure, dizziness as a result. She was 16 years old visiting ER for passing out and irregular heartbeat 2x, hospitalized twice to run longer studies. Consider Lyme disease; most people who are infected never see a tick.

@@juliakuri135 Thank you. However since I live in extremely rural southern Mississippi on 98 acres(mostly forest) surround by National Forest…Lyme disease was actually one of the first things I was tested for once I got a dr to listen. And Ive been tested multiple times over the years since it can sometimes be difficult to detect & as better testing has come out. Unlike many suffering chronic illness Im happy for any dr to test for Lyme…as long as ins pays for it & they aren’t solely focused on that being the sole answer…since even though I don’t spend much time outdoors anymore I have dogs who do. And it would be horrible to discover years too late that a worsening of symptoms was not caused by my known health issues but rather Lyme…which can often be successfully treated IF caught early enough. It’s always something I suggest people ask to be tested for if they live anywhere they might be exposed and are experiencing symptoms that may suggest it…just as a precaution.
First of all, youre hilarious. Secondly, crazy story, i had a heart attack at 6 years old. We were immigrating to usa, and it took a lot of going back and forth between venezuela and here for a few years when we were in the immigration process. Maybe it was something about not being used to the climate but my sister and i would get sick a lot when we came stateside. So one time i got a cold or something like that, my parents took me to the dr and they prescribed me some medicine. Probably some antibiotic but i honestly dont know. But i remember the medicine tasted good (probably bc itbwas for kids) so one night i drank the entire bottle and it enduced a heart attack. My mom noticed right away though and raced me to the er. I dont remember much but they made me drink this black charcoal looking drink. I turned out fine. This was in the 90s.
That black charcoal looking drink was literally activated charcoal. They use it to treat poisoning, including accidental drug OD (prescription or illegal) and alcohol poisoning.
@@claudiacarolina6125 Oh yeah, it works wonders! But I have heard it tastes really nasty. Glad you were OK. Children taking medicines because they think they think it is candy or otherwise do not know the dangers of taking someone else's medicine or taking too much of their own, is incredibly dangerous for them. Children have died. So, yeah, you got very lucky. It could have been much worse.
4:00 mine was stress from my parents but later on it turned to anxiety...for me the pandemic doesn't even contribute to my anxiety it's all my parents sadly ;-;
I only turned 24 this April and I had a stroke when I was 17 between anxiety of being kicked out of my parents home and the excitement of getting married to the most amazing guy on the planet I had what my Dr called a mini stroke.
This is soooo real. I am constantly in and out of the hospital. And it's true... even if your Dr calls ahead you STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS!!! And all the rest is true. Especially the entitlement issues. But the way he says It makes me laugh so hard. I wonder if he has ever considered stand-up comedy. There are many people who try to make a living by that who aren't nearly as funny. Thank you Steve for making this time a little better.
Steveio, I just LOVE you! I love your intelligence, compassion, empathy, your acting, timing, and writing ability. And the snappy way you say 'MuthaFkrs!' I've wanted to use it several times, just can't do it like you. :(
Hey so I had the stress chest pain you were talking about. I remember not going to the ER because I was at a point in my life despite me thinking it was a heart attack I was like “if I die I die” and went to bed. Well after I left my ex I haven’t had a chest pain since.
When I was working as a volunteer with an ambulance service, we were called up to the football grounds where one of the players had had a heart attack and was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital (for his families sake) he was around 25 from memory. He didn't smoke, do drugs (that we know of) and was just a normal fit country guy. I don't know what caused it, I think they put it down to some hereditary heart issue but it was really sad. In a town of 450 people, it was hard whenever we had code 0s
I was hemorrhaging 6 days after my daughter was born and was put on a hallway bed because all the rooms were taken. Didn't bother me one bit! I just felt bad for the nurses. They saved my life but had to work in such cramped quarters to do so... I remember apologizing a lot 😅... I appreciate everything they did and endured for my sake 💓 Nurses are truly amazing and deserve a lot more love and recognition 💗 Tl;dr Don't go to the ER unless it's an Emergency! Nurses deserve better 💕
Just as requested, I have had 2 heart attacks when I was in my 20's wasn't taken seriously until they put me on a monitor and then they freaked!!!! I'm an ex-nurse so I love the dark and twisted sense of humour! Sometimes that is the only thing that keeps you going when your days, weeks or even months of shifts have been shitty especially at the moment!!!
Love, love, love em. Keep em coming. You keep it so real. I laugh so hard. I used to type patients in the overnight ER. Oh man. Wildest night was when a stabbed man came in they put the beat up stabbing girlfriend in thr same er room. That was a wild finger pointing night Thanks EMTs. Mad wild world were.
Had chest pain that was so bad & my blood pressure was significantly elevated so much so that my physician called the ER .... luckily it was stress/ anxiety from my mental health issue stemming from my mother dying. It felt like my chest was going to snap in half. That was the 1st time I was in the ER not for a broken bone, UTI, or food poisoning. ER staff are amazing!
6:15 I once had a 9/10 stomach pain when I was 9. My mom took me to the emergency room at 10:00 pm, I arrived, they said “what’s the problem?” And once we explained, before I knew it I was on an iv, after taking 10 minutes to calm down. Out like a light. Next, they ran some tests, and thought I had appendicitis. Before I could react I was in an ambulance, being transferred to a children a hospital, where I would stay for two days. It was just some *really* bad stomach pain.
Ok, you’re telling me people complain about IVs? I had one when I had a tonsillectomy and at age 10, that was the coolest thing I had seen in my life! It was fascinating! That was my favorite thing (aside from the popsicle I got) from that experience!
I have super small veins lol they when i went to get an endo they had to put it in my hand. between the cold and the anxiety every time i used my phone or moved it hurtt. I asked the doctor to double check it before the procedure just to make sure the nurse didn't miss or something. (No hate on the nurses, the first one gave up though lol)
I love your videos. I once had to go to the Er for an anxiety attack, I had taken a Xanax and it didn't alleviate the symptoms. I would have loved to go the urgent care but i had state health insurance that I could only go to the er out of state... I know you don't want to see patients for anxiety attacks, but sometimes insurance is dumb.
I have frequent panic attacks which lead to palpitations but I’ve never gone to an ER but I have once gone to a urgent care before I new about it. Luckily I now know to take my meds and keep the ER free in that way.
That IV one gets to me - I've had MANY IVs over the years so I know how they should feel. The time before last the nurse didn't quite get it all the way in the vein - it was enough for it to kind of work but it was also a bad enough miss that afterwards that vein shrank down to nothing and another vein got MUCH larger - thank you anatomy for building in back up paths in the vascular system! Unfortunately, one of the two good for IV veins I had is now unusable, leaving me with just one - and being bed bound is causing weight gain making that one harder to hit. (my other veins that'd typically be used for IVs are in areas I have CRPS - aka a whole lot of pain) Anyway, love these vids - thank you!
MY FRIGGIN GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CHEST PAIN REASONS. I’ve been having chest pain for a while after watching mistakes in the hospital. I didn’t want to tell anyone about it because I was really scared. The chest pains would cause my anxiety because I thought I was gonna die. Now I know I’m just stupid
I went in to our local clinic because I was having chest pains. Ultimately found out it was my gallbladder. I had to have surgery to have it removed. I felt so much better!!
the drive-through Covid test is a god send, when i had covid and was barley able to breath and walk because of it and had no one to drive me, i drove myself there and took less than 3 minutes to get me swabbed and on my way home!
I love this, as a nurse for 42 years, he is expressing exactly what every nurse thinks.
AMEN
For all other workers like radiology, transport, etc, that work directly with patients in the ER, also goes thru these annoyances too!
41 here.
I know, right?
Yep! The number of times I wanted to say "go home it's just a paper cut/bruise/not an emergency if you've had a sore thumb for 6 weeks!"
How is he so passive aggressive, yet loving wtf-
That is what makes him a good nurse that doesn't burn out.
He's an ER tech. Not a nurse. Nor is he PASSIVE aggressive. He's plain frustrated, thus aggressive!
“Stop shoving vegetables up your butt!”

We were immigrating to usa, and it took a lot of going back and forth between venezuela and here for a few years when we were in the immigration process. Maybe it was something about not being used to the climate but my sister and i would get sick a lot when we came stateside. So one time i got a cold or something like that, my parents took me to the dr and they prescribed me some medicine. Probably some antibiotic but i honestly dont know. But i remember the medicine tasted good (probably bc itbwas for kids) so one night i drank the entire bottle and it enduced a heart attack. My mom noticed right away though and raced me to the er. I dont remember much but they made me drink this black charcoal looking drink. I turned out fine. This was in the 90s.
That black charcoal looking drink was literally activated charcoal. They use it to treat poisoning, including accidental drug OD (prescription or illegal) and alcohol poisoning.
@@GothicElf68 well im glad they gave it to me lol. It worked
@@claudiacarolina6125 Oh yeah, it works wonders! But I have heard it tastes really nasty.
Glad you were OK. Children taking medicines because they think they think it is candy or otherwise do not know the dangers of taking someone else's medicine or taking too much of their own, is incredibly dangerous for them. Children have died. So, yeah, you got very lucky. It could have been much worse.
Darwin almost got the job done!
4:00 mine was stress from my parents but later on it turned to anxiety...for me the pandemic doesn't even contribute to my anxiety it's all my parents sadly ;-;
Mine is heart burn
Move out. Get a job. And deoend on yourself.
Granted if your of age.
If not call children services
Because batching online does nothing
Having worked in the ER, I can tell you this is SO true!!!
I only turned 24 this April and I had a stroke when I was 17 between anxiety of being kicked out of my parents home and the excitement of getting married to the most amazing guy on the planet I had what my Dr called a mini stroke.
married at age 17?
@@anna-fleurfarnsworth104 no engaged at 17 it was only 3 days before my 18th birthday. We got married that October and are still married to this day.
Bet your doctors haven't seen you diagnose people ..your fired .
@@anna-fleurfarnsworth104 If mature enough, it is ok
This is soooo real. I am constantly in and out of the hospital. And it's true... even if your Dr calls ahead you STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS!!! And all the rest is true. Especially the entitlement issues. But the way he says It makes me laugh so hard. I wonder if he has ever considered stand-up comedy. There are many people who try to make a living by that who aren't nearly as funny.
Thank you Steve for making this time a little better.
Steveio, I just LOVE you! I love your intelligence, compassion, empathy, your acting, timing, and writing ability. And the snappy way you say 'MuthaFkrs!' I've wanted to use it several times, just can't do it like you. :(
Hey so I had the stress chest pain you were talking about. I remember not going to the ER because I was at a point in my life despite me thinking it was a heart attack I was like “if I die I die” and went to bed. Well after I left my ex I haven’t had a chest pain since.
When I was working as a volunteer with an ambulance service, we were called up to the football grounds where one of the players had had a heart attack and was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital (for his families sake) he was around 25 from memory. He didn't smoke, do drugs (that we know of) and was just a normal fit country guy. I don't know what caused it, I think they put it down to some hereditary heart issue but it was really sad. In a town of 450 people, it was hard whenever we had code 0s
I want to show this to a lot of our patients 😂
Love your skits!!
REALLY informative!❤
Beautiful compilation !!!!! Cheers !!
bruh i cant stop laughing 😂
I was hemorrhaging 6 days after my daughter was born and was put on a hallway bed because all the rooms were taken. Didn't bother me one bit! I just felt bad for the nurses.
They saved my life but had to work in such cramped quarters to do so... I remember apologizing a lot 😅... I appreciate everything they did and endured for my sake 💓 Nurses are truly amazing and deserve a lot more love and recognition 💗
Tl;dr Don't go to the ER unless it's an Emergency! Nurses deserve better 💕
I am laughing so hard love this guy
Just as requested, I have had 2 heart attacks when I was in my 20's wasn't taken seriously until they put me on a monitor and then they freaked!!!! I'm an ex-nurse so I love the dark and twisted sense of humour! Sometimes that is the only thing that keeps you going when your days, weeks or even months of shifts have been shitty especially at the moment!!!
These videos are amazing!
I had a really bad anxiety attack that caused horrible chest pains.
Priceless, hilarious and all true!
Thank you for what you do❤
Love this guy! Well, not literally but he's pretty cool and funny 🤣

Love, love, love em. Keep em coming. You keep it so real. I laugh so hard. I used to type patients in the overnight ER. Oh man. Wildest night was when a stabbed man came in they put the beat up stabbing girlfriend in thr same er room. That was a wild finger pointing night Thanks EMTs. Mad wild world were.

Hi I really love your vids😉
Standing at the bus stop, waiting for the cop across the street to call the funny wagon!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Best videos ever
Had chest pain that was so bad & my blood pressure was significantly elevated so much so that my physician called the ER .... luckily it was stress/ anxiety from my mental health issue stemming from my mother dying. It felt like my chest was going to snap in half. That was the 1st time I was in the ER not for a broken bone, UTI, or food poisoning. ER staff are amazing!
So many life lessons here. These videos should be part of health class in school.
6:15 I once had a 9/10 stomach pain when I was 9. My mom took me to the emergency room at 10:00 pm, I arrived, they said “what’s the problem?” And once we explained, before I knew it I was on an iv, after taking 10 minutes to calm down. Out like a light. Next, they ran some tests, and thought I had appendicitis. Before I could react I was in an ambulance, being transferred to a children a hospital, where I would stay for two days. It was just some *really* bad stomach pain.
Him: explaining good stuff
Me: *distracted and celebrating the giant potato chip I found in the potato chips bag*
Dude, so are soooo funny....Love it😅🤣😅🤣😂👍
I've seen these videos, but didn't want to watch them, was waiting for you to make this
I love when he's swearing. It's so funny and sweet
Ey we got the truth finally
Ok, you’re telling me people complain about IVs? I had one when I had a tonsillectomy and at age 10, that was the coolest thing I had seen in my life! It was fascinating! That was my favorite thing (aside from the popsicle I got) from that experience!
I have super small veins lol they when i went to get an endo they had to put it in my hand. between the cold and the anxiety every time i used my phone or moved it hurtt. I asked the doctor to double check it before the procedure just to make sure the nurse didn't miss or something. (No hate on the nurses, the first one gave up though lol)
I couldn't agree more!!!
I love your videos. I once had to go to the Er for an anxiety attack, I had taken a Xanax and it didn't alleviate the symptoms. I would have loved to go the urgent care but i had state health insurance that I could only go to the er out of state... I know you don't want to see patients for anxiety attacks, but sometimes insurance is dumb.
I have frequent panic attacks which lead to palpitations but I’ve never gone to an ER but I have once gone to a urgent care before I new about it. Luckily I now know to take my meds and keep the ER free in that way.
I have had such bad anxiety and stress before but the crazy thing is that just sleeping helped
The video we need
Great video
You can't make this stuff up, it happens for real 🤣😂🤣😂
i still love how he explains and says tips while repeatedly getting cursed on :'DD
That IV one gets to me - I've had MANY IVs over the years so I know how they should feel. The time before last the nurse didn't quite get it all the way in the vein - it was enough for it to kind of work but it was also a bad enough miss that afterwards that vein shrank down to nothing and another vein got MUCH larger - thank you anatomy for building in back up paths in the vascular system!
Unfortunately, one of the two good for IV veins I had is now unusable, leaving me with just one - and being bed bound is causing weight gain making that one harder to hit. (my other veins that'd typically be used for IVs are in areas I have CRPS - aka a whole lot of pain)
Anyway, love these vids - thank you!
MY FRIGGIN GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CHEST PAIN REASONS. I’ve been having chest pain for a while after watching mistakes in the hospital. I didn’t want to tell anyone about it because I was really scared. The chest pains would cause my anxiety because I thought I was gonna die. Now I know I’m just stupid
I went in to our local clinic because I was having chest pains. Ultimately found out it was my gallbladder. I had to have surgery to have it removed. I felt so much better!!
Yes i have had an svt due to thc stress 😂 to much isnt always a good thing lol.
So funny i love all your videos
I had stomach pains at 14, had to get my appendix removed :(
I love your videos!!!
I've definitely had chest pains from stress. Usually right before I have a panic attack LOL
This guy is hilarious
My hubby is jealous of me watching you all the time 😂
uh

Hahha! So funny and informative! 🥰🤭
Sphincter is such a cool word.
Like, as you say it out loud.
Tell me I’m wrong. Yeah, you can’t.
Anyone staring at his scrubs each video
Yes. He looked hot in the dark blue.
Smart MuFkr
I was in a hallway bed for two days probably the best two days ever lol
"That's right mufkrs" ☝
3am to 5am is my afternoon. perfect.
the drive-through Covid test is a god send, when i had covid and was barley able to breath and walk because of it and had no one to drive me, i drove myself there and took less than 3 minutes to get me swabbed and on my way home!
