this is based on a true story, in 1961 a group of soviet scientist were on a mission on the Antartic, they were stranded due to the weather, and the doctor, Leonid Rogozov had to operate and remove his own apendice, the procedure was so mind blowing for the time, that even with all the iron curtain cold war shenanigans at the time, the soviets shared all the details with the world, the guy was a truly badass, he passed away in 2000 age 66
I don’t know how the Soviet medical licensure system was set up, but, doing the math, what makes it even more impressive is that Dr Rogozov might’ve been a fairly newly minted doctor at age 27. Imagine being fresh out of med school and you have to perform an emergency appendectomy on yourself!
@@josephengel2091 wow, i knew of this story for a long time, and it never ever occurred to me to do the math, that he was this fresh out of med school, even more mind blowing =O
The hatches aren’t electronic, so he wouldn’t have been stuck on his own. Also, the fact that mission control is just letting these doctors run wild is just… nope.
It was a crazy show, I mean, they had some insane procedures they did..lol, honestly compared to some of the stuff they did this one didn't even bother me that much.
the show spun off the situation to make it more entertaining to the viewers but this actually happened (just not in space). 1950s or 60s a Russian scientist group got stranded in snow somewhere and the patient was the only doctor. they passed out multiple times throughout the operation but still survived.
But if it's pressure sealed for sterile purposes then it could still take a day or so for that pressure to be safely released. The last thing you want in a space station is anything close to explosive decompression
@@elizabethmacey1989 an entire module would never be pressure sealed with a person inside, it’s too dangerous. Astronauts are also never allowed to seal hatches unless they have a route to their escape vehicle… trust me, I work in mission control
I kinda feel like she got him to audition for this role an I love it. Its nice seeing stars stay connected through other shows especially a child star and someone who was probably seen as the crazy uncle on set. 😂
@@mermaidnott9713 that would be awesome if she got him to do it. I felt so much nostolgia watching this lol. im actually rewatching the show since its been a long while for me.
To be fair, this is probably accurate for how calm they'd be, astronauts have to remain completely rational and chilled under the most insane circumstances
This is CRAZY. If you're going to be in space, especially for an extended period, you should have at least one medical doctor on board. If you absolutely can't get a medical doctor you need one or two people that are at least trained as paramedics and that have medical manuals and/or videos that can want them through things like this. What if you don't have a machine that a doctor on Earth could use to operate on you in space? What if communication is down? Oh and I forgot why wouldn't you give them some kind of REAL anesthetic?
I think its accurate actually, most liquids tend to stick to surfaces so its right that it doesnt float away, its actually a problem that astronauts have had in the past with tears, i recall an austronaut getting a spec of dust enter his eye during a space walk that caused his eye to tear up, tears stuck to his eye and formed a bubble so big that it spilled over his nose into his other eye and it made him blind, he stumbled his way back completely blind after that.
So weird seeing the actor who's playing the astronaut becuz I got so use to watching him in Suite life of zach & cody growing up 😆 Edit - Ik it's stupid, but this is the most likes I've gotten for a cmmt. So thxs ;)
technically this show is science fiction, and this isn’t possible yet, but the show shows advanced forms of technology that we already have, so things like this could be possible in the near future
I mean first things first, you need to be in a shuttle that can have its own gravity so your blood doesn't float away and possibly kill you faster which as of right now is impossible unless the shuttle is constantly spinning
In 2003 when I was a teen I had a stomachache/ bad pain for 24 hrs straight hadn't been able to keep food or drink down, went to the Drs an they pressed on my belly an sent me straight to the ER for consultation & emergency surgery bc they basically knew it was appendicitis almost immediately even b4 scans to confirm just off my symptoms. Between drs being smart & basic anatomy it's not hard to make a diagnosis. 4 hrs later I was in surgery & as they were about to remove it, it burst. Thankfully no bacteria or pus got back into my body as they acted quickly to pull it out. You'd be amazed at how the simplest of symptoms can be diagnosed with the right Drs.
The symptoms of appendicitis are very recognizable to trained doctors which is very important as the appendix could burst at anytime. My friend in high school had stomach pains one day when we were travelling for a speech competition to the point where she wouldn't eat all day. The pain continued through the night on our drive home. Her appendix ruptured when she returned home and doctors said she would have likely been dead less than an hour later.
before the summer this year i got excruciating pain in my abdomen to the point of near delirium. I was close to calling 999 but thought i was probably just being dramatic and my lack of painful experiences meant i didn't have a good comparison (i'm autistic shut up). ended up in hospital the next day, spent 4 days there, found out i also have polycystic ovaries, had my appendix removed and spent goddamn ages recovering afterwards.
It is incredible how technology has advanced these days and how a doctor can perform an appendix surgery from earth all the way to the astronaut's shuttle using robotic-like arms in order to perform this. Such incredible acting too like WOW.
Appendixes are not useless (they are basically the tonsils of the intestinal tract and are thought to harbor “good” gut bacteria when they aren’t infected - so the intestinal tract may be re-colonized more quickly when the normal flora is disrupted by antibiotics, for instance), and appendectomies are not minor surgeries/can occasionally lead to death.
You might be surprised at what you could do when the choice is a real life do-or-die. In the case of appendicitis, eventually the pain gets bad enough you'd be willing to do just about anything to make it stop. Appendicitis gets truly excruciating; I remember waking up in a recovery room and a sigh of relief with the realization that the pain was gone. I hope you never know what that feels like.
@@professorroundbottom438 Yeah, I mean it's a toss-up between the pain from the appendix or the pain from the surgery, and at least the surgery pain would be temporary and not fatal.
Yeah, that siphon looks like something people used to wash their nether region! She did say she's from India though, a place where you don't see people use toilet papers!
the funniest line i have ever heard in a medical drama is "crush up benadryl, mix it with saline, and inject it into the muscular tissues of the abdomen" THATS SO RIDICULOUS IM ACTUALLY CRYING FROM LAUGHTER
Diphenhydramine (benadryl) has been used to combat neuropathic and nociceptive pain that has failed to respond to treatment with opioids, and is solutable in water, saline is just salt and water. Would I want to do it? No Could it work? Yes, even as a placebo, especially with how much confidence she said it with.
Are astronauts not required to have their appendix out? There are jobs in remote locations that require it. I just always assumed astronauts were, too.
These medical/hospital shows are getting more ridiculous, outlandish & absolutely comical. There like, 300 of these & The ONLY one to have done it well was HOUSE. Don't try to come at me with Grey's. Grey's is the Friends of medical/hospital series.

And he passed out 4 times during the proceedure...it was crazy

A suit life of Zach and Cody reunion. London Tipton and Arwin in one show!! ❤️ 😍 💖
Yeah plus the dad from Ricky Dicky Nicky & Dawn
I’d never thought I’d see London Tipton and Arwin to be on another show together much less a medical show.

Or make everyone that goes up have their appendix removed beforehand like the people who go to the research stations in Antarctica.
Really, this probably will happen if we get to the Moon or Mars. Eventually someone will pull a Rogozov.
interesting how none of his blood floats away but he's in danger of floating away. I'm intrigued by the special effects though.
its called gravity
@@trajannvaloris9385 I was being sarcastic

@@Mic-yi5it Yes! One of today's most famous astronauts did a space walk entirely blind because of this!

Me sitting here on the verge of tears cause arwin has to do surgery on himself 😅😭
And Sheldon's teacher in highschool......
And if you notice at 7:53 there’s London Tipton lol
Right
Same and it’s weird seeing him as a dad too on another show lol
I’d freak out so much if I was in his situation
Dont
Just imagine if that was you! Imagine how scared he felt! I bet his heart was going wild!
I too enjoy skipping to surgery based on 3 symptoms and no labs 😅
I too enjoy doing labs while it being physically and chronologically impossible, thus dying while people on twitter calling me a "Leaky Floaty Float"
What would you have done?
Dude would have passed out way before then in real life. That kinda of pain is so unbearable that your brain would want to block it.
A surgeon had to do it on a ship on himself so it is possible depends on the person ig
Not really.
Lucky man got to go up there with a frickin surgery machine.
And just so happened to get trapped in the same room with it
What a world we live in where this is now possible.

Ah yes, you've got a tummy ache for a day and you're not too hungry. I get cut open everytime too.

"Any way to override the lockdown". Oh yes there is. It's called a wrench.
Absolutely awesome if only real!!
What Arwin doing in space?
I absolutely adore the insane and absurd concepts medical dramas come up with.
It is incredible how technology has advanced these days and how a doctor can perform an appendix surgery from earth all the way to the astronaut's shuttle using robotic-like arms in order to perform this. Such incredible acting too like WOW.
It’s so weird seeing the actor astronaut on here when I am so used to him on young Sheldon 😊
Let's go Arwin!!!
Arwin is doing his own surgery, where’s Zack and Cody😂
Why does a TV show taking place in space look fake, but also as real as real life??
Thats Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn's dad, in the space ship
oh my goodness, the astronaut was in an old TV show on Netflix.
Dang, Arwin from Suite Life of Zack and Cody has gone so far
As I person who freaks out even entering a hospital with s chance of getting surgery I could never
That's me too. I was not sure if I wanted to watch this.
im pretty sure all astronauts must have their appendix removed
I feel like we need to figure out a surgery that can be done when we're all babies to remove any organ that's useless like the appendix
I agree, but as it’s been explained to me, surgery is a last resort when it comes to internal organs.
Appendixes are not useless (they are basically the tonsils of the intestinal tract and are thought to harbor “good” gut bacteria when they aren’t infected - so the intestinal tract may be re-colonized more quickly when the normal flora is disrupted by antibiotics, for instance), and appendectomies are not minor surgeries/can occasionally lead to death.
I definitely don’t think I could do that.

Yyooo thats the janitor from zack and cody
That's nothing I real life scientist in the North Pole or Antarctica being the only one at the post had to operate on herself it was a true story.
Am i the only one that can't watch this series in full?
It looks so.. "weird".
weirdly futuristic, like in a very weird "cheap movie" way.
Not alone
based on a true story, remember that ussr doctor in Antarctica ? yea he made it
Isn’t he the actor who played 1 of the teachers in young Sheldon?
So true
To me he will always Arwin from Sweet Life of Zac and Cody , Brenda Song was also on the show as London Tipton.
This girl said let's make a siphon in space 🤣
Yeah, that siphon looks like something people used to wash their nether region! She did say she's from India though, a place where you don't see people use toilet papers!
It’s Arwin 🤣
Some austronouts actually get their appendix removed so this doesn't happen.
No, they don't, unless they really hate having it.
Is it a bad idea to remove astronaut's appendix before they go into space?
I thought they do that now, as a preventative method
@@snickeridooo5467 That's what I was thinking when I made my comment. It makes sense.
Oh hey its sheldon’s high school teacher 😂😂
Is that Brian Stephanek? Dude was part of my childhood and the woman was from another medical show called “Royal Pains”
Just realized the Arwin and London Tipton reunion!
For me it’s the WiFi speed that is off
Make sure it gets all of the alien and always have crew standing by with flamethrowers and pulse rifles.
Bruh they got Lynn Loud Sr on the job 💀
Pure Genius must love classic Disney, more specifically The Suite Life; Arwin and London!
What is this show called I would love to watch it!

They didn’t say that. They said “under the skin of your abdomen,” so subcutaneously, not intramuscularly.
HEY! He is from Disney Channel!
Clearly that pain relief is not working. Wtf
It was "poor man's anesthetic"--they wouldn't expect it to do much but it was all that was available.
Are astronauts not required to have their appendix out? There are jobs in remote locations that require it. I just always assumed astronauts were, too.
this is the fast and furious of medicine
the man in space plays as father in the series "nicky ricky dicky and dawn"
What about time lag?
is that the janitor from sweet life omg
Not suite life of Zack and Cody ✋🏽😂
OMG THATS WHERE I KNOW HIM FROM
I'm pretty sure this happened at least once in Blackjack.
Can I please get an
answer is this channel
real
I think it is
Me too
same guy as the teacher from young sheldon
first outer space hospital surgery
I love young sheldon and he the science teacher I'm a have yall guess his name
Yeah, its nice too see he finally stopped teaching, unlocked his full potential and became an astronaut.
Does the astronaut end up living in the rest of this episode
Yo his from young sheldon
Poor ernie
Is that Arwin from Swuit life of Zach and Cody ?

That… not my cup of tea…
cringe. they got so much of this wrong
Its not meant to be correct, its a show meant for entertainment.
the acting is so cringe
solar flare would of been detected days before lol this show is so wrong on facts. a solar flare doesnt hit us the moment it happens
damn
This is not medically accurate…
It’s a tv show, nothing is accurate
Why not
Its never suppose to be, its a show for entertainment.
Haha right? He made appendicitis look waaaay too easy to deal with.
Yeah I mean closing him up with internal bleeding and suddenly the patient wakes up and is super conscious? I honestly laughed at that part
What in the cringe
tird one to saya numberr to be tird
second
First
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
5:34 Loved her as Divya on Royal pains until they had that weird butchering of her character
