@@JacenT1D Same. My mom and I were watching the game, and we are also Packers fans and we were in shock... I'm a mom of a son just that alone makes it hard... I could not imagine what his mother was feeling at that moment.
Even today, the Alex Smith injury is still horrific to watch. In the documentary that was done chronicling his recovery, the extent of the damage and subsequent infection that was shown, it was a miracle he was ever able to walk again, let alone return to the field. That man will forever have my admiration for what he was able to overcome.
That documentary man...I watched it with some ninjas cutting onions around me, a lot of onions. I cried like a baby the whole thing. Alex is a hero for going thought all of that and being in the field again before retiring.
I hate seeing that. Alex was such a good man and a good QB here in KC. I can’t stand seeing it. I’m glad he can do things normally again. I wish only good things for Alex Smith.
I’m a Washington fan and live in Jacksonville so I’m a jags fan as well and I remember coming out of the stadium looking at Twitter and seeing how bad the Alex smith injury was and to see him come back has to be one of the most miraculous and memorable comebacks because of how many people die from sepsis

On concussions: I got one from a fall at 5 years old. I was pretty out of it for days, and my parents didn’t take me for medical attention. I’m 29 now, and I still have a small “scar” on my brain and get frequent headaches. As far as anyone can tell, after the first few days, it didn’t affect my personality. However, one of my best friends freshman year of high school wasn’t wearing her seatbelt and was in a bad car crash. She was thrown around the vehicle and got a significant concussion. She survived, but I lost my best friend that day. She became a completely different person; suddenly becoming aggressive and engaging in major risk-taking, and as far as I know, her personality never returned to how it was. My point is, if you or anyone you’re with ever sustains a hit to the head and doesn’t appear mostly fine in seconds, get it checked out. Better safe than sorry.
My sister had a concussion on the swings, my dad was swinging her and he sang a funny song that made her laugh so hard, she fell off of the swing and hit her head on the molch, she was knocked out for a good 15 minutes, but her personality slowly returned to normal 😊 ps:this happened before I was alive, my dad told me this story 😂
a friends little cousin was about eight i wanna say and got in a bad ATV accident. he had a head injury and it made him all kinds of fcked up, he said horrible things to his mother and overall just wasn’t the same. like he had no conscience or something. we don’t talk anymore, grew apart, so idk how he is or if that ever got better. but children generally are more plastic in those situations because of the way they’re still developing. it’s incredible in some ways because while children are very fragile, our species has many mechanisms of protection that we don’t think much of. it’s easy to get caught up in something being bad and not realize that it could have been much, much worse
Brandon is awesome. It's really hard to accept you've been injured in such a big statium/sport, but he's doing everything possible to keep the ppl in the game safe on both sides. This makes me very happy 😊
Brandon Marshall has gone through some mental and emotional trauma in his own life so it's great to hear him talk about his focus and determination in getting everybody more tools to succeed in those areas.
So fun fact about Tua's injury: He was already injured two games prior which he both went down in and sat out but then for this game a neurologist who isn't affiliated with the team said hey he's good to play. That neurologist has since been fired and has had his medical practice rights taken away
I believe its worse than that. He was injured on a Sunday against the Bills after which the team claimed he didn’t get a concussion (as you said) despite it looking like he did on tv. Then he played 4 days later on a Thursday against the Bengals where that play happened with his fingers tensing up after he was knocked unconscious. So that’s two suspected concussions in 4 days. He also sustained a concussion weeks later that kept him out of the playoffs because he was still experiencing symptoms.
@Fonny222 And then wasn't a lawsuit filed against the Dolphins medical staff and the NFL for this? Because the Dolphins were forced to forfeit their 1st round pick this year for that whole thing
@@soaringeagle175 lol there’s no lawsuit for the concussion. They lost the first round pick as a punishment for Stephen Ross trying to get Tom Brady on his yatch.
@@soaringeagle175 I’m not exactly sure on that part. I know at one point they had to forfeit a draft pick as a result of their owner trying to force the previous coach to tank and then trying to recruit Tom Brady while he was under contract. They fired their “independent neurologist” as a scape goat I thought to stave off a lawsuit. But I could be wrong.
As the mother of a teenage son that plays football, this was particularly hard to watch but also very informative. Our son doesn't know if he wants to play football again next season. And as a mother, who has seen the great things that he has gained during football, and also as a mom who wants her child to stay active and healthy; I'm finding myself backing away from encouraging him to pursue it because the risk of injury is so high. Like Mike mentioned, young athletes can get a concussion and while they may recovery physically, but it can permanently alter them mentally. And that really scares me. Brandon Marshall gave very good points and provided great feedback. Great episode!
Can confirm how awful knee injuries are. I played volleyball for a very long time until I tore my ACL and MCL. I was in a wheelchair for six months and crutches for three, and had to have more than one surgery because the tendons wouldn’t heal and would tear open again. I had to wear a knee brace for about a year and a half and the physical therapy afterward was brutal. It was like my entire leg just refused to walk. I can walk, run, and jump now, but I still have to take extra steps while stretching and warming up so my knee doesn’t lock up. I still play volleyball, by the way. Ace player second year!
It takes a special type of person to go through all that and still come back as an ace! That's awesome. I'm sorry you were hurt at all though. I tore my ACL fencing in college and it ended my career. It's a tough thing to bounce back from, physically and mentally.
I tore both my ACLs on separate occasions, about four years apart. Full year recovery, two years until feeling close to 100% both times. My older surgery knee still gets sore for no reason every now and then another 5 years later. Scariest part is how easy it can happen. My second one happened while just slowly running backwards.
I tore all ligaments in my knee and fractured my leg in two places by slipping on the kitchen floor. 11 years later I'm still in a wheelchair for life because the ligaments can never heal. My kneecap is also permanently dislocated. So I understand the pain of this. 11 years later still in pain and can't take any pills because of severe allergies.
Dr Mike, you’ve honestly inspired me to be better with my health. I’ve binged your videos for a few days maybe a week and honestly, you’ve inspired me to eat healthier, start exercising and treat my body better. I’ve started eating more vegetables, leaner meats, fruits, plant based foods for less calorie intake, I’ve even started intermittent fasting. Honestly you have inspired me so much and I am so grateful❤
You always have the best guests and explain complex medical conditions so well. I honestly learn so much and yet get such a good laugh every episode. Keep doing what you do Dr.Mike! 😊
OMG DR Mike just left a comment on my latest video ! I didn't even know he does that kind of thing! Literally just made my day so much better after a tough day today!
Brandon was great on this. Hated having him play against my Chiefs, but only because you knew his ability. He's grown into a great broadcaster too. Good dude.
I didn’t watch the whole situation transpire, so I just have to know, was the stadium actually in complete silence (as far as you know)? Also, yeah, so great so see such solidarity because seeing the collision and damar collapsing was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever watched
I had a double concussion- hit my head once and then again less than 3min later. I was so out of it- nobody took me to the hospital. I just went home and went to bed. I barely remember any of it but I was having seizures, mood and personality changes, severe memory loss, motor function problems, sight, speech, and auditory difficulties. It changed my life. I’m only just now feeling more like myself almost 8 years later. I can’t imagine having a head injury like this and then going back to play again so soon.
I had a concussion this summer, I missed almost a month of sports! I was so upset because my Play-off basketball game was the next day and I knew if we lost (which we did) I would blame myself! Never get mad at your self for a mistake. Injuries just teach your body how to handle new things! Stay positive and don’t be hard on yourself for a mistake! ❤❤❤❤
It's good to hear about concussions and how serious we should take them. My husband play football for years and had a handful of concussions. Years later developed seizures, had brain surgery and ultimately ended up with a TBI which has left him at the cognitive age of 10 and severe emotional issues. His life has changed completely and in every way. At the time of these "minor concussions" no one was concerned and he played through them. I'm so thankful concussions are more understood and discussed openly
How has life been since the change in his cognitive age ? I'm asking out of genuine curiosity but if you don't want to talk about it just say it please so I know that I shouldn't ask any further
@empty I don't mind you asking. We've settled into a new normal now however, he has significant trouble with memory, processing, problem solving, retaining/learning, focusing and some significant emotional issues. My husband was a senior finance manager at a major university in our state and now he struggles to count change. I've learned to adjust my expectations of what I believe his quality of life should be. I used to push him way too hard in rehab then when he got home because I wanted him to get back to him. However, all I care about now is that if he's happy and healthy then for him, he has a good life.
@empty Oh my goodness yes. We've known each other since we were 7 years old and he is the absolute love of my life. I could never just leave him cold because we've experienced some challenges in this life. My vows literally read: for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health... also, he would have NEVER given up on me. So how could I ever give up on him 💙.
@Stephanie I understand how you feel because I'm currently is a good relationship with a fellow autistic person and we have our good days and our bad days but I was will to give him a chance because I don't like to leave people all alone without at least giving them a chance first
That's awesome that Brandon Marshall is working to help people improve their lives safely. As a Broncos fan, I remember my Stepdad and I having fun watching him play. I sure do miss him and it was a nice surprise to see him on here!
Brandon marshall is always such a phenomenal guest no matter what i see him on. They both offered excellent insight. Would love to see more of these videos with players
I worked for a cardiologist’s office and one of the most heartbreaking things I saw was long QT syndrome! We had a very healthy mother and father come in to get tested for it because their 10 year old son died on the field while playing football and was not able to be revived. The mother ended up being the one that had it and to watch the guilt on her face because she thought that she didn’t do enough to protect her son even though she had no idea what it even was broke my heart! The mom had even been a VERY athletic person especially in school running cross country but never had an issue with it. The doctor just said that his heart just fired wrong at the very wrong time compounded by the fact that they didn’t require an AED to be carried to the games by the coaching staff. Things have changed drastically in regards to having the right equipment in schools and at sporting events. Thank goodness!!
My stepdad's daughter died at 16 (in the 70s) of Long QT, but he was told it was SIDS. He never understood that, and I was glad when I was able to get more information and figure it out for him.
38 years ago in November 1985, Joe Theismann suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula in his right leg. My Mom was at that game and said you could hear the cracking, but no one knew why. You could hear a pin drop as Theismann was carried off the field.
My wife has a condition that means her bones break easily and shes talked to me about that noise - her mother has the same condition so shes seen quite a few fractures happen. She actually sent me a video a while back of a guy breaking his leg doing parkour because in all likelihood I will see her break something at some point and she said it would help me be prepared because the sound might be the worst part. Its like a lizard brain thing telling you that was a "BAD BAD NOISE", and you have to not freak out.
@@ChickenOfAwesome Lawrence Taylor said he became a drug addict mainly due to how he injured Joe Theisman He was the one who sacked him and was screaming for the paramedics to come get him
In high school I was a student althletic trainer for my schools Varsity and JV football teams. I saw the worst injuries in practice. One was an ACL knee injury. The other the player broke his arm in such a way it looked like and "S".
We had a player accidentally break a teammates femur in practice. They were friends too so it was extra unfortunate friendly fire. Season ending injury of course. I believe it was junior or senior year both of which colleges look at and recruit players the most. Tragically, the player who broke the teammates femur passed away when their car crashed into a lake. This was senior year or just after we graduated. 25 and under you really don't realize how strong yet fragile the body and life can be.
My brother played football for a good chunk of his middle school career, but he ended up quitting because he collided with someone and accidentally fractured their collarbone. He's a tall and strong kid, perfect for football but has the biggest heart. The definition of a gentle giant. The thought that he hurt someone really took him out of the game... Still a gentle giant to this day! At 19 he's 6'2 (almost 6'3, he's still growing) strong as an ox, but is still the kindest person in the world.
What a cool guy! Hearing the perspective from an athlete on injuries and the thoughts that go through their heads and then a doctor being able to explain the injury, possible complications from such injuries and the healing/rehabilitation that is needed is a great collaboration! Thanks for the education opportunity!
Super right on the non-contact injuries. This is much later than the date of this video, but Victor Oladipo from the Miami Heat just retore his ACL if i am not mistaken. It was a non-contact injury and he slipped on the ground just like that one guy did. Oladipo has also already torn his ACL before.
I think it would be very interesting to see you react to the worst Football / Soccer injuries as there are many weird and unusual injuries that have happened over the years (and many very bad injuries)
You should do this with a Certified Athletic Trainer to get the perspective of those first on the injury scene, too. We have some great experiences to share, and sometimes people don't even know what we do and the importance of having ATs there and ready to respond.
Brandon Marshal is my favorite person that has ever existed! Thank you to everything you bring awareness to and for being such a spectacular human being!!!
I remember watching the game where Dak Prescott got that compound ankle fracture. It was horrific, and any time I think about it I can still clearly see him being carted back to the locker room in tears.
Important discussion! Thank you for this. A good person to look at and learn about is a man named Inky Johnson who played at Uni of Tennessee and suffered an injury to his arm which ruptured the brachial plexus. Lost his career but turned hi.self into a motivational speaker. Awesome, awesome man.
Hey Doctor Mike, an OU (The University of Oklahoma) college football TE caught a helmet to his quad just above the knee a few years ago and it was determined to be a deep thigh bruise after an evaluation by doctors since he got knocked out of the game. Later that evening he was having immense pain when in bed and ended up getting rushed to the ER because he developed sepsis. He lost 35 pounds and almost died, but he made a remarkable recovery to play in a bowl game way later in the year. Just a crazy story about sepsis
Would love to see you react to AFL injuries! They have such differing mechanisms just due to the nature of the sport, it's really unlike anything but would be really interesting to see your reaction to the sport and injuries.
Watching this was tough. And a good friend of mine who is a jockey in horse racing just got hurt really really bad being ran over by a horse. He had his spleen removed and his pancreas was bruised really really really bad. And this made me think about athletes injuries even more.
@@jasminespencer2872 thank you Jasmine, he's got a long road of recovery he went from being able to holding a horse and pulling on a horse to slow them down, to now he can't lift a milk gallon.
I broke my fibula doing a hockey stop playing roller derby. I was by myself and stopped wrong so I just fell to the floor and didn’t move. I can’t image having people piled on top of me while I did it 😬 respect to these players
The last clip with the deltoid injury I felt ghost pain from. I snapped mine at 16 from a ballet injury along with the Achilles and two other ligaments and a broken fibula. I can only imagine doing that while during a game in front of thousands of people
This such a awesome Podcast Brandon Marshall, as a Business Man , athlete, celerity , social media influencer speak about ITS NOT ABOUT MOMEY and giving it away to Charity he is really a Humble , descent and good human 💜
All these injuries have me reminiscing about the time I shear fractured my femur. Having a jumping contest in the winterb with my brother, I was only 6, and I took a ten foot drop, my knee slammed into a tree stump. It felt like my leg was sticking out of snowpants, so I laid back and was trying to get leg straight, but I couldn't. Once the shock wore off, I screamed bloody murder, and my dad tried to get me to walk. When that failed, he tossed me in the back seat of the neighbour's gremlin. Bounced our way 45 minutes to the emergency room, they set my femur, gave me a shot of demerol ( still don't like painkillers much ), and put me in ambulance to the iwk children's hospital.
@@nitriousgd4323 It's actually not too painful on a pain scale. I dislocated my shoulder in a judo tournament being stupid and not wanting to let the other guy throw me, but he weighed about 6 pounds more than me and it pretty much was an instant and constant dull ache. My ACL was a very sharp pain that came and went and would reappear if I put weight on it, but THAT was only after I stopped feeling euphoric from it. That's how I've come to know real pain, it's when your brain shuts off temporarily to stop you from feeling the pain that's there, and only when I tried to stand up and stretch it out did I realize I did something to it. I stood up on my own. Walked myself to the doctor on the tournament site (since it was a 5-person volleyball tournament, $1,300 a person). She told me everything was fine, so I went back on the court and tried to keep going but we ended up losing in the 3rd and final set 26-24 and it was mostly because I couldn't move. Later on that week, I was walking on crutches and 3 weeks later I was in surgery for my ACL. 9 months later and I ran a TurkeyTrot (with a brace on). 18 months post-surgery and I was running my 2nd ever 10k and best time ever. I ran a 38:35 and I've been proud since then because I also got a 4th place medal for that. Never been that motivated to run that much and that hard over the course of those last 6 weeks of training. I have done several 5ks at a moderate pace, and recently my hip has been seizing up anytime I got over 5 miles of hard running, so this winter I've been taking it real easy and resting with a mix of weight and bodyweight training. I guess I was just trying to prove I could do it and do better Post-ACL. I figure I'll get back into running 4-5 days a week in about late March or Early April. Goal for this year is to do 3 5ks and all under 24 minutes. Everyone should try to run at least 1 day a week, you know. If not that then get to a gym on the weights.
7:08 I can definitely attest to this. After my concussion in was an emotional wreck in every way. I was screaming at my mom over the phone absolutely enraged which I hadn't done before or since. I felt like a completely different person.
I'm so thankful I have been able to receive First Aid and especially CPR Training regularly since the age of 10. It gives me a sense of security because I know what to do in certain situations🙏🏽
7:27 Wise man. I saw a documentary-analisys once. A rugby player protected his baby while a walk, car was about to crush a stroller. He reacted just like he would protect a ball. Brutal game but teaches best reactions.
I got emotional seeing Hamlin get hurt I watched it on TV, and I held my breath. I prayed for him for sure! Everyone did. I am glad that Hamlin is okay now and back home, I am still wondering if he’ll play again, probably not because of his condition.
for some reason i love these kind of videos even though they make me gag (especially the knee ones) but i still find them so interesting to watch and learn about
As someone who watches and loves football, you get pretty desensitized to injuries like these. But seeing Damar Hamlin’s injury on live tv, that seriously put everything into perspective. These guys really risk life and limb for something they love
I think that desensitization definitely plays a huge role in it, I'm someone who doesn't watch a lot of football and I recently, as an adult, went to a game with my dad ... 10 minutes in, I literally sat there in awe of who tf decided that this game was a good idea. I mean, when you're crashing your bodies into each other, obviously things are bound to get seriously injured, it seemed so horrific to me lol. (Of course skill will minimize chance of serious injury, I am definitely not trying to take away from football players who work really hard to be good at what they do nor trying to say that football fans are bad people, everyone has different tastes.) It makes me appreciate adults who push for better safety standards for those athletes, especially at high school levels where the kids are still so young.
Knees and shoulders are horrific injuries. I tore my MCL and PCL when I dislocated my knee back in 2010, took over a year to rehab it. A patient attacked me in 2019 (psych nursing) and I ended up with a fractured collarbone, SLAP tear and Bankart lesion. First surgery repaired the tears. Second surgery removed a portion of my collarbone because it wasn't healing (now there's a blank space where it should connect to the AC joint). Third surgery to remove a ton of scar tissue from the joint and remove the thickened and damaged bursae. First surgeon (did first two surgeries) failed to notice the winged scapula in the year that I saw him, so the muscles atrophied, and resulted in impingement and frozen shoulder, which the third surgeon also fixed. I'd rather have another appendectomy or VNS surgery than have another shoulder/knee injury.
For us soccer fans watching the Danish player Christian Ericksen collapse on the pitch and see him getting treatment on the pitch for such a long time before being taken to hospital. To know how serious his condition was, he had a cardiac pacemaker fitted, and to know that he’s now back playing soccer full time is amazing.
You should react to Pro wrestling injuries (wwe, impact, aew) stuff. Dante’s ankle snap, Enzo hitting the bottom rope knocking himself unconscious, luchasaurus leg snap, did vicious leg break in WCW. And plenty more
I never thought I would have a good time watching a video with a bunch of disturbing injuries, but I guess if Doctor Mike is in it anything can be enjoyable.
The Alex Smith injury was horrific. He was legitimately in danger of dying. It's a miracle he was able to come back and play a final season with Washington
One that wasn’t featured I was hoping you’d discuss that I vividly remember is Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox getting tackled awkwardly and injuring his spine. I’ve never seen a human bend from the center of their back like that. He survived and has usage of all his limbs but never played again.
The fact that Willis McGahee played 10 years in the NFL and had multiple 1,000 yard seasons after having his knee turned inside out is almost as incredible as Alex Smith's recovery. Respect
Great video. I suffered a C4-5 fracture neck break spinal cord injury and paralysis playing football and 14 on 9/11/84. I broke the cardinal rule and did what Shazzier did, lowered my head. I never played football again. Today 38 years later am left with a central cord syndrome and chronic pain. Would love to share my story with you about what people who have SCI’s but also can walk and what they endure both mentally and physically.
Got a few concussions, but the big one was from a dodgeball to the face. Laying on the ground being unable to move and then desperately trying to make a sound and only being able to make gurgled sounds was horrifying, I thought that I would spend the rest of my life like that. After a few minutes, I was able to properly function, but I'll never forget my teacher shouting at me to say my name or where we were while I just wailed "uuuuuhhhhh?"
in Australian football (afl) we dont have pads or any protection and we are tackling and kneeing in the back and everything! would love to see you react to afl medical situations!
With the topic of sport injuries i think it would be interesting for Mike to react to NBA Injuries. Especially with the Gordon Hayward injury as one example. If he can do this with a basketball player that would be dope
This was hard to watch but so interesting. I'm not a football fan but would love to see you react to/interview someone about pro wrestling and their injuries.
My sons were watching a football game where one of the players was hit so hard that their leg was broken, and the station kept playing it over and over with the player’s lower leg was actually swinging free of his knee! I think the fastest running my boys ever did was from coaches, trying to get them to sign onto the football teams at school!
5:40 the way that he got that injury is when he was getting pulled down his shoulder pad and shoulder hit the ground first. Once those hit the ground the shoulder and shoulder pad shoved into his head but then his head hit really hard.
Completely unrelated, but is bare nuckled boxing safer than boxing with gloves? As both a doctor and a boxer it would be interesting to see your take on this.
Bare knuckle boxing is actually extremely dangerous and really deadly. Gloves cushion the hits and prevent exceptionally sudden movement of the head and too deep penetration into the chest. Without cushion, every knockout would be a massive concussion in the least, and with full force, at least a significant percentage of matches would end up with dead contestants. There is a reason gloves are a must and for a strict weight and composition standard for them.
Dude this was such a great interview. I'm not a football fan and usually, these dudes seem like they are not the brightest bulb in the box but Brandon Marshall seems like not just a pretty awesome person but incredibly smart. Definitely gives me a different insight to the players. I also really love what he mentions at making the sport safer, focusing on the fundamentals (when it becomes to being healthier), and that you do try to look out for each other (for the most part). Thanks Brandon for doing this interview!
At a game of North Shore HS (Houston) against The Woodlands HS (The Woodlands) We have a student who got tackled and he didn't get up. The game was stopped for 10 minutes before he got up again, but the normally hype stadium, which was even louder that day because in TX, the Woodlands and North Shore are crazy and everybody was waiting for halftime too, was quieter.
I learned the soft tissue/bone thing the hard way. Got a crazy bad high ankle sprain in what ended up being my last year of competitive basketball. Doctor told me I would have been better off I'd broken a bone.
Man that alex smith one is wild. I remember the updates just kept coming about how there was another complication and then another. Glad he was able to fully recover and be able to play some more snaps before retiring
Love this episode, its so important! Cannot believe Carson Wentz wasn't included! Poor guy snapped his ACL and MCL and kept playing for a couple plays before leaving the game. He hasn't been the same since.
As a football player i hyper extended my elbow and was told by my coaches it was just gonna be a bad bruise and i would be able to play next week. And btw i took that information and i was devastated when the doctor said i was out the whole season. But the worst part was not playing. The pain was a 7/10 (1 being a pinch and 10 being shot) in my opinion, but the worst part was not playing and everyone thinking i was a baby because i was almost crying and they thought it was just a bruise.
8:36 (add time stamp so you know what I mean) yesterday, 26th jan, I had a bad collision playing hockey for school ( I HATE hockey) and I couldn’t breath properly. I had to sit out for the rest of the lesson and seeing you talk about chest injuries made me wonder if I should get checked out. I had hit my head as well. It was a shoulder and hockey stick to the centre of the chest. I’m female if that helps.
You need to do a soccer/football injuries, you could Maybe get someone like Tim Howard, ben foster or Maybe someone like Rio ferdinand, who is a defender who knows a lot about bad injuries. (all of them are on youtube/presenters now
You said in several of your videos that we could ask questions, so here are some for you: What can one do if effected by low barometric pressure when one is still at near sea level? Symptoms: dizziness, sensitivity to light, trouble with sounds (placing them, recognizing if they are important, feels like ears are stuffed with cotton), trouble concentrating, sometimes the light nausea, and feeling like one might pass out. BTW knee injuries really suck.. I'm missing 1/3 of my inner miniscus on the right knee and the small ligament on the back of the knie that holds the miniscus in place. And I don't even know where I got the original injury (torn of ligament) from: P. E., snowboarding, playing (field) hockey...I still feel the difference in power and durability the knees even though that got done in December 2006
Over the last 2-3 years I’ve learned that sepsis is actually really common still. I thought that was just a problem of the past but no, it’s still getting people every day, it’s wild.
As a Bills fan, Damar Hamlin collapsing like that was one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. Good to see you talk about these things.
Don’t think he will be playing again after that 😢
I’m a Packers fan, and that was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever watched during a football game.
I am a rams fan and I was shook once I saw,him collapse that was really scary. Glad he's okay.

@@JacenT1D Same. My mom and I were watching the game, and we are also Packers fans and we were in shock... I'm a mom of a son just that alone makes it hard... I could not imagine what his mother was feeling at that moment.

That man will forever have my admiration for what he was able to overcome.
On concussions: I got one from a fall at 5 years old. I was pretty out of it for days, and my parents didn’t take me for medical attention.
I’m 29 now, and I still have a small “scar” on my brain and get frequent headaches. As far as anyone can tell, after the first few days, it didn’t affect my personality.
However, one of my best friends freshman year of high school wasn’t wearing her seatbelt and was in a bad car crash. She was thrown around the vehicle and got a significant concussion.
She survived, but I lost my best friend that day. She became a completely different person; suddenly becoming aggressive and engaging in major risk-taking, and as far as I know, her personality never returned to how it was.
My point is, if you or anyone you’re with ever sustains a hit to the head and doesn’t appear mostly fine in seconds, get it checked out. Better safe than sorry.
I think that getting one when your young actually doesn't change your personality b/c you haven't really developed one yet.
My sister had a concussion on the swings, my dad was swinging her and he sang a funny song that made her laugh so hard, she fell off of the swing and hit her head on the molch, she was knocked out for a good 15 minutes, but her personality slowly returned to normal 😊 ps:this happened before I was alive, my dad told me this story 😂
@@BraggestSeal19115 mins is crazy was she in the ICU?
@@crypticshadows good question, I'm not sure... I'll have to ask my dad
a friends little cousin was about eight i wanna say and got in a bad ATV accident. he had a head injury and it made him all kinds of fcked up, he said horrible things to his mother and overall just wasn’t the same. like he had no conscience or something. we don’t talk anymore, grew apart, so idk how he is or if that ever got better. but children generally are more plastic in those situations because of the way they’re still developing. it’s incredible in some ways because while children are very fragile, our species has many mechanisms of protection that we don’t think much of. it’s easy to get caught up in something being bad and not realize that it could have been much, much worse
Brandon is awesome. It's really hard to accept you've been injured in such a big statium/sport, but he's doing everything possible to keep the ppl in the game safe on both sides.
This makes me very happy 😊
@@markkuleck4425 ???????????????????????
He lost my respect with refusing to do the "PEEWOOP"
@@TheSwauzz pretty sure hes talking about rupaul drag race not sure tho
Brandon Marshall has gone through some mental and emotional trauma in his own life so it's great to hear him talk about his focus and determination in getting everybody more tools to succeed in those areas.
So fun fact about Tua's injury: He was already injured two games prior which he both went down in and sat out but then for this game a neurologist who isn't affiliated with the team said hey he's good to play. That neurologist has since been fired and has had his medical practice rights taken away
Seemed good to fire the neurologist.
I believe its worse than that. He was injured on a Sunday against the Bills after which the team claimed he didn’t get a concussion (as you said) despite it looking like he did on tv. Then he played 4 days later on a Thursday against the Bengals where that play happened with his fingers tensing up after he was knocked unconscious. So that’s two suspected concussions in 4 days. He also sustained a concussion weeks later that kept him out of the playoffs because he was still experiencing symptoms.
@Fonny222 And then wasn't a lawsuit filed against the Dolphins medical staff and the NFL for this? Because the Dolphins were forced to forfeit their 1st round pick this year for that whole thing
@@soaringeagle175 lol there’s no lawsuit for the concussion. They lost the first round pick as a punishment for Stephen Ross trying to get Tom Brady on his yatch.
@@soaringeagle175 I’m not exactly sure on that part. I know at one point they had to forfeit a draft pick as a result of their owner trying to force the previous coach to tank and then trying to recruit Tom Brady while he was under contract. They fired their “independent neurologist” as a scape goat I thought to stave off a lawsuit. But I could be wrong.
As the mother of a teenage son that plays football, this was particularly hard to watch but also very informative. Our son doesn't know if he wants to play football again next season. And as a mother, who has seen the great things that he has gained during football, and also as a mom who wants her child to stay active and healthy; I'm finding myself backing away from encouraging him to pursue it because the risk of injury is so high. Like Mike mentioned, young athletes can get a concussion and while they may recovery physically, but it can permanently alter them mentally. And that really scares me. Brandon Marshall gave very good points and provided great feedback. Great episode!
Can confirm how awful knee injuries are. I played volleyball for a very long time until I tore my ACL and MCL. I was in a wheelchair for six months and crutches for three, and had to have more than one surgery because the tendons wouldn’t heal and would tear open again. I had to wear a knee brace for about a year and a half and the physical therapy afterward was brutal. It was like my entire leg just refused to walk. I can walk, run, and jump now, but I still have to take extra steps while stretching and warming up so my knee doesn’t lock up. I still play volleyball, by the way. Ace player second year!
It takes a special type of person to go through all that and still come back as an ace! That's awesome. I'm sorry you were hurt at all though. I tore my ACL fencing in college and it ended my career. It's a tough thing to bounce back from, physically and mentally.
i’m 15 i’ve torn my ACL twice and can confirm it is awful. wouldn’t wish it on anyone
I tore both my ACLs on separate occasions, about four years apart. Full year recovery, two years until feeling close to 100% both times. My older surgery knee still gets sore for no reason every now and then another 5 years later. Scariest part is how easy it can happen. My second one happened while just slowly running backwards.
Ouch! Glad you recovered man. But given recent news I legit thought you were setting up a George Santos joke for a second. Lol. 😆
I tore all ligaments in my knee and fractured my leg in two places by slipping on the kitchen floor. 11 years later I'm still in a wheelchair for life because the ligaments can never heal. My kneecap is also permanently dislocated. So I understand the pain of this. 11 years later still in pain and can't take any pills because of severe allergies.
Dr Mike, you’ve honestly inspired me to be better with my health. I’ve binged your videos for a few days maybe a week and honestly, you’ve inspired me to eat healthier, start exercising and treat my body better. I’ve started eating more vegetables, leaner meats, fruits, plant based foods for less calorie intake, I’ve even started intermittent fasting. Honestly you have inspired me so much and I am so grateful❤
You always have the best guests and explain complex medical conditions so well. I honestly learn so much and yet get such a good laugh every episode. Keep doing what you do Dr.Mike! 😊
@Don't Read My Profile Picture I'm a youtube admin and I am here to report that you will be banned within the next 3 days
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Alright them
I was going to but you stopped me
OMG DR Mike just left a comment on my latest video ! I didn't even know he does that kind of thing! Literally just made my day so much better after a tough day today!
I am a bronco fan to see Brandon Marshall always makes me happy I miss number 15 catching passing from jay cutler
@@justchill40 lmao ok bot
Brandon was great on this. Hated having him play against my Chiefs, but only because you knew his ability. He's grown into a great broadcaster too. Good dude.
I was at the Damar Hamlin game. I thank God for those paramedics. Mad respect to both the Bengals and the Bills and their fans.
I didn’t watch the whole situation transpire, so I just have to know, was the stadium actually in complete silence (as far as you know)?
Also, yeah, so great so see such solidarity because seeing the collision and damar collapsing was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever watched
I watched it love as a bengals fan
I didn’t care about it at all
Its honestly hard to think what would have happened if that doctor who cleared tua to play was still there
@@NOLA_C3wow. You’re so cool dude
I had a double concussion- hit my head once and then again less than 3min later. I was so out of it- nobody took me to the hospital. I just went home and went to bed. I barely remember any of it but I was having seizures, mood and personality changes, severe memory loss, motor function problems, sight, speech, and auditory difficulties. It changed my life. I’m only just now feeling more like myself almost 8 years later. I can’t imagine having a head injury like this and then going back to play again so soon.
The "YES!" after he said everyone should be certified in CPR .... I felt that 😅
In Iowa, you have to get CPR certified before you are able to graduate from high school.
I had a concussion this summer, I missed almost a month of sports! I was so upset because my Play-off basketball game was the next day and I knew if we lost (which we did) I would blame myself! Never get mad at your self for a mistake. Injuries just teach your body how to handle new things! Stay positive and don’t be hard on yourself for a mistake! ❤❤❤❤
It's good to hear about concussions and how serious we should take them. My husband play football for years and had a handful of concussions. Years later developed seizures, had brain surgery and ultimately ended up with a TBI which has left him at the cognitive age of 10 and severe emotional issues. His life has changed completely and in every way. At the time of these "minor concussions" no one was concerned and he played through them. I'm so thankful concussions are more understood and discussed openly
How has life been since the change in his cognitive age ? I'm asking out of genuine curiosity but if you don't want to talk about it just say it please so I know that I shouldn't ask any further
@empty I don't mind you asking. We've settled into a new normal now however, he has significant trouble with memory, processing, problem solving, retaining/learning, focusing and some significant emotional issues. My husband was a senior finance manager at a major university in our state and now he struggles to count change. I've learned to adjust my expectations of what I believe his quality of life should be. I used to push him way too hard in rehab then when he got home because I wanted him to get back to him. However, all I care about now is that if he's happy and healthy then for him, he has a good life.
@@stephanie1874 you are very kind for still giving him a chance as not all people would give someone a chance after something like that
@empty Oh my goodness yes. We've known each other since we were 7 years old and he is the absolute love of my life. I could never just leave him cold because we've experienced some challenges in this life. My vows literally read: for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health... also, he would have NEVER given up on me. So how could I ever give up on him 💙.
@Stephanie I understand how you feel because I'm currently is a good relationship with a fellow autistic person and we have our good days and our bad days but I was will to give him a chance because I don't like to leave people all alone without at least giving them a chance first
That's awesome that Brandon Marshall is working to help people improve their lives safely. As a Broncos fan, I remember my Stepdad and I having fun watching him play. I sure do miss him and it was a nice surprise to see him on here!
Brandon marshall is always such a phenomenal guest no matter what i see him on. They both offered excellent insight. Would love to see more of these videos with players
Literally clicked on this video for him.
Great job to the editor(s) for all the warnings about graphic content during replays. It was incredibly helpful. ☺️
It's a video about devastating injuries. What did you expect?
The number of famous people Doctor Mike gets to come sit in his house and watch TH-cam videos is just insane 😆
Oooh famous people lol who cares?
@@karmaisreal261 Sorry, not every day you get to talk to a celebrity. This shows how much Doctor Mike has grown as a creator.
I worked for a cardiologist’s office and one of the most heartbreaking things I saw was long QT syndrome! We had a very healthy mother and father come in to get tested for it because their 10 year old son died on the field while playing football and was not able to be revived. The mother ended up being the one that had it and to watch the guilt on her face because she thought that she didn’t do enough to protect her son even though she had no idea what it even was broke my heart! The mom had even been a VERY athletic person especially in school running cross country but never had an issue with it. The doctor just said that his heart just fired wrong at the very wrong time compounded by the fact that they didn’t require an AED to be carried to the games by the coaching staff. Things have changed drastically in regards to having the right equipment in schools and at sporting events. Thank goodness!!
My stepdad's daughter died at 16 (in the 70s) of Long QT, but he was told it was SIDS. He never understood that, and I was glad when I was able to get more information and figure it out for him.
38 years ago in November 1985, Joe Theismann suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula in his right leg. My Mom was at that game and said you could hear the cracking, but no one knew why. You could hear a pin drop as Theismann was carried off the field.
My wife has a condition that means her bones break easily and shes talked to me about that noise - her mother has the same condition so shes seen quite a few fractures happen. She actually sent me a video a while back of a guy breaking his leg doing parkour because in all likelihood I will see her break something at some point and she said it would help me be prepared because the sound might be the worst part. Its like a lizard brain thing telling you that was a "BAD BAD NOISE", and you have to not freak out.
Crazy
@@ChickenOfAwesome
Lawrence Taylor said he became a drug addict mainly due to how he injured Joe Theisman
He was the one who sacked him and was screaming for the paramedics to come get him
In high school I was a student althletic trainer for my schools Varsity and JV football teams. I saw the worst injuries in practice. One was an ACL knee injury. The other the player broke his arm in such a way it looked like and "S".
We had a player accidentally break a teammates femur in practice. They were friends too so it was extra unfortunate friendly fire. Season ending injury of course. I believe it was junior or senior year both of which colleges look at and recruit players the most. Tragically, the player who broke the teammates femur passed away when their car crashed into a lake. This was senior year or just after we graduated. 25 and under you really don't realize how strong yet fragile the body and life can be.
My brother played football for a good chunk of his middle school career, but he ended up quitting because he collided with someone and accidentally fractured their collarbone. He's a tall and strong kid, perfect for football but has the biggest heart. The definition of a gentle giant. The thought that he hurt someone really took him out of the game... Still a gentle giant to this day! At 19 he's 6'2 (almost 6'3, he's still growing) strong as an ox, but is still the kindest person in the world.
What a cool guy! Hearing the perspective from an athlete on injuries and the thoughts that go through their heads and then a doctor being able to explain the injury, possible complications from such injuries and the healing/rehabilitation that is needed is a great collaboration! Thanks for the education opportunity!
Super right on the non-contact injuries. This is much later than the date of this video, but Victor Oladipo from the Miami Heat just retore his ACL if i am not mistaken. It was a non-contact injury and he slipped on the ground just like that one guy did. Oladipo has also already torn his ACL before.
I think it would be very interesting to see you react to the worst Football / Soccer injuries as there are many weird and unusual injuries that have happened over the years (and many very bad injuries)
Didn't someone break their neck from a backflip
Big guies running at full speed toward each others. What will happen is gonna happen, I guess.
Or rugby! That's brutal
You should do this with a Certified Athletic Trainer to get the perspective of those first on the injury scene, too. We have some great experiences to share, and sometimes people don't even know what we do and the importance of having ATs there and ready to respond.
Brandon Marshal is my favorite person that has ever existed! Thank you to everything you bring awareness to and for being such a spectacular human being!!!
3:12 props to LT for acknowledging that he fell on Theismann’s ankle awkwardly and calling Washington’s medical team over
I remember watching the game where Dak Prescott got that compound ankle fracture. It was horrific, and any time I think about it I can still clearly see him being carted back to the locker room in tears.
Important discussion! Thank you for this. A good person to look at and learn about is a man named Inky Johnson who played at Uni of Tennessee and suffered an injury to his arm which ruptured the brachial plexus. Lost his career but turned hi.self into a motivational speaker. Awesome, awesome man.
Hey Doctor Mike, an OU (The University of Oklahoma) college football TE caught a helmet to his quad just above the knee a few years ago and it was determined to be a deep thigh bruise after an evaluation by doctors since he got knocked out of the game. Later that evening he was having immense pain when in bed and ended up getting rushed to the ER because he developed sepsis. He lost 35 pounds and almost died, but he made a remarkable recovery to play in a bowl game way later in the year. Just a crazy story about sepsis
Would love to see you react to AFL injuries! They have such differing mechanisms just due to the nature of the sport, it's really unlike anything but would be really interesting to see your reaction to the sport and injuries.
Watching this was tough. And a good friend of mine who is a jockey in horse racing just got hurt really really bad being ran over by a horse. He had his spleen removed and his pancreas was bruised really really really bad. And this made me think about athletes injuries even more.
Wow
I'm so sorry about your friend
Hope they get well soon and make a full recovery
@@jasminespencer2872 thank you Jasmine, he's got a long road of recovery he went from being able to holding a horse and pulling on a horse to slow them down, to now he can't lift a milk gallon.
@@dennistrusty5145 wow
My prayers 🙏
as a commanders fan, the alex smith one was soo gruesome😭😭💔. like the fact the guy just celebrated right after too
I broke my fibula doing a hockey stop playing roller derby. I was by myself and stopped wrong so I just fell to the floor and didn’t move. I can’t image having people piled on top of me while I did it 😬 respect to these players
The last clip with the deltoid injury I felt ghost pain from. I snapped mine at 16 from a ballet injury along with the Achilles and two other ligaments and a broken fibula. I can only imagine doing that while during a game in front of thousands of people
This such a awesome Podcast Brandon Marshall, as a Business Man , athlete, celerity , social media influencer speak about ITS NOT ABOUT MOMEY and giving it away to Charity he is really a Humble , descent and good human 💜
I loved Brandon’s input during this video as well as yours Dr. Mike. 💗
All these injuries have me reminiscing about the time I shear fractured my femur. Having a jumping contest in the winterb with my brother, I was only 6, and I took a ten foot drop, my knee slammed into a tree stump. It felt like my leg was sticking out of snowpants, so I laid back and was trying to get leg straight, but I couldn't. Once the shock wore off, I screamed bloody murder, and my dad tried to get me to walk. When that failed, he tossed me in the back seat of the neighbour's gremlin. Bounced our way 45 minutes to the emergency room, they set my femur, gave me a shot of demerol ( still don't like painkillers much ), and put me in ambulance to the iwk children's hospital.
Good god that sounds painful
@@nitriousgd4323 It's actually not too painful on a pain scale. I dislocated my shoulder in a judo tournament being stupid and not wanting to let the other guy throw me, but he weighed about 6 pounds more than me and it pretty much was an instant and constant dull ache.
My ACL was a very sharp pain that came and went and would reappear if I put weight on it, but THAT was only after I stopped feeling euphoric from it. That's how I've come to know real pain, it's when your brain shuts off temporarily to stop you from feeling the pain that's there, and only when I tried to stand up and stretch it out did I realize I did something to it. I stood up on my own. Walked myself to the doctor on the tournament site (since it was a 5-person volleyball tournament, $1,300 a person). She told me everything was fine, so I went back on the court and tried to keep going but we ended up losing in the 3rd and final set 26-24 and it was mostly because I couldn't move.
Later on that week, I was walking on crutches and 3 weeks later I was in surgery for my ACL. 9 months later and I ran a TurkeyTrot (with a brace on). 18 months post-surgery and I was running my 2nd ever 10k and best time ever. I ran a 38:35 and I've been proud since then because I also got a 4th place medal for that.
Never been that motivated to run that much and that hard over the course of those last 6 weeks of training. I have done several 5ks at a moderate pace, and recently my hip has been seizing up anytime I got over 5 miles of hard running, so this winter I've been taking it real easy and resting with a mix of weight and bodyweight training. I guess I was just trying to prove I could do it and do better Post-ACL.
I figure I'll get back into running 4-5 days a week in about late March or Early April. Goal for this year is to do 3 5ks and all under 24 minutes. Everyone should try to run at least 1 day a week, you know. If not that then get to a gym on the weights.
Your neighbor’s car being a gremlin really dates your story. 😂
Dude we wish the best for these players and all the people who got injured we have you in are prayers
7:08 I can definitely attest to this. After my concussion in was an emotional wreck in every way. I was screaming at my mom over the phone absolutely enraged which I hadn't done before or since. I felt like a completely different person.
I'm so thankful I have been able to receive First Aid and especially CPR Training regularly since the age of 10. It gives me a sense of security because I know what to do in certain situations🙏🏽
7:27 Wise man.
I saw a documentary-analisys once. A rugby player protected his baby while a walk, car was about to crush a stroller. He reacted just like he would protect a ball.
Brutal game but teaches best reactions.
would love to see Doctor Mike react to worst Soccer/football injuries
I love seeing a famous athlete explaining some injuries and even more explaining what they feel and think on the field.
I got emotional seeing Hamlin get hurt I watched it on TV, and I held my breath. I prayed for him for sure! Everyone did. I am glad that Hamlin is okay now and back home, I am still wondering if he’ll play again, probably not because of his condition.
The way Brandon Marshall said, "Will he play again?" When talking about Damar Hamlin made me tear up.
Why
The answer is yes
for some reason i love these kind of videos even though they make me gag (especially the knee ones)
but i still find them so interesting to watch and learn about
As someone who watches and loves football, you get pretty desensitized to injuries like these. But seeing Damar Hamlin’s injury on live tv, that seriously put everything into perspective. These guys really risk life and limb for something they love
I think that desensitization definitely plays a huge role in it, I'm someone who doesn't watch a lot of football and I recently, as an adult, went to a game with my dad ... 10 minutes in, I literally sat there in awe of who tf decided that this game was a good idea. I mean, when you're crashing your bodies into each other, obviously things are bound to get seriously injured, it seemed so horrific to me lol. (Of course skill will minimize chance of serious injury, I am definitely not trying to take away from football players who work really hard to be good at what they do nor trying to say that football fans are bad people, everyone has different tastes.) It makes me appreciate adults who push for better safety standards for those athletes, especially at high school levels where the kids are still so young.
Knees and shoulders are horrific injuries. I tore my MCL and PCL when I dislocated my knee back in 2010, took over a year to rehab it.
A patient attacked me in 2019 (psych nursing) and I ended up with a fractured collarbone, SLAP tear and Bankart lesion. First surgery repaired the tears. Second surgery removed a portion of my collarbone because it wasn't healing (now there's a blank space where it should connect to the AC joint). Third surgery to remove a ton of scar tissue from the joint and remove the thickened and damaged bursae. First surgeon (did first two surgeries) failed to notice the winged scapula in the year that I saw him, so the muscles atrophied, and resulted in impingement and frozen shoulder, which the third surgeon also fixed.
I'd rather have another appendectomy or VNS surgery than have another shoulder/knee injury.
For us soccer fans watching the Danish player Christian Ericksen collapse on the pitch and see him getting treatment on the pitch for such a long time before being taken to hospital. To know how serious his condition was, he had a cardiac pacemaker fitted, and to know that he’s now back playing soccer full time is amazing.
You should react to Pro wrestling injuries (wwe, impact, aew) stuff. Dante’s ankle snap, Enzo hitting the bottom rope knocking himself unconscious, luchasaurus leg snap, did vicious leg break in WCW. And plenty more
I never thought I would have a good time watching a video with a bunch of disturbing injuries, but I guess if Doctor Mike is in it anything can be enjoyable.
The Alex Smith injury was horrific. He was legitimately in danger of dying. It's a miracle he was able to come back and play a final season with Washington
One that wasn’t featured I was hoping you’d discuss that I vividly remember is Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox getting tackled awkwardly and injuring his spine. I’ve never seen a human bend from the center of their back like that. He survived and has usage of all his limbs but never played again.
The fact that Willis McGahee played 10 years in the NFL and had multiple 1,000 yard seasons after having his knee turned inside out is almost as incredible as Alex Smith's recovery. Respect
Still rough to see Damar falling down...Glad he's alive!
Great video. I suffered a C4-5 fracture neck break spinal cord injury and paralysis playing football and 14 on 9/11/84. I broke the cardinal rule and did what Shazzier did, lowered my head. I never played football again. Today 38 years later am left with a central cord syndrome and chronic pain. Would love to share my story with you about what people who have SCI’s but also can walk and what they endure both mentally and physically.
We need more sports stuff like this! Keep up the good work Dr Mike. Love ya man.
8:51 they were talking about how everyone should be CPR certified and I was just thought las week at school how to do CPR and how to use a AED
so excited for a new dr mike video
Brandon seems so nice and down to earth. :)
Him getting better is the best thing
Not a football fan really but Brandon seems so cool and it’s so interesting to hear his perspective on things beside Dr. Mikes. Super great video:)
Got a few concussions, but the big one was from a dodgeball to the face.
Laying on the ground being unable to move and then desperately trying to make a sound and only being able to make gurgled sounds was horrifying, I thought that I would spend the rest of my life like that. After a few minutes, I was able to properly function, but I'll never forget my teacher shouting at me to say my name or where we were while I just wailed "uuuuuhhhhh?"
in Australian football (afl) we dont have pads or any protection and we are tackling and kneeing in the back and everything! would love to see you react to afl medical situations!
4:33 I can’t finish this video. I thought I could get through it. I can’t. 😳
I love dr mikes smile at the end 😂 he looks like a little kid on picture day
With the topic of sport injuries i think it would be interesting for Mike to react to NBA Injuries. Especially with the Gordon Hayward injury as one example. If he can do this with a basketball player that would be dope
What about the Paul George one?
As a runner I felt each of these injury’s in my soul. We really have to push recovery with performance. To be a better athlete we need to take care
This was hard to watch but so interesting. I'm not a football fan but would love to see you react to/interview someone about pro wrestling and their injuries.
Splint = “bone tourniquet” - Dr. Mike lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My sons were watching a football game where one of the players was hit so hard that their leg was broken, and the station kept playing it over and over with the player’s lower leg was actually swinging free of his knee! I think the fastest running my boys ever did was from coaches, trying to get them to sign onto the football teams at school!
Oh god that would hurt so much
5:40 the way that he got that injury is when he was getting pulled down his shoulder pad and shoulder hit the ground first. Once those hit the ground the shoulder and shoulder pad shoved into his head but then his head hit really hard.
Completely unrelated, but is bare nuckled boxing safer than boxing with gloves? As both a doctor and a boxer it would be interesting to see your take on this.
Bare knuckle boxing is actually extremely dangerous and really deadly. Gloves cushion the hits and prevent exceptionally sudden movement of the head and too deep penetration into the chest. Without cushion, every knockout would be a massive concussion in the least, and with full force, at least a significant percentage of matches would end up with dead contestants. There is a reason gloves are a must and for a strict weight and composition standard for them.
Dude this was such a great interview. I'm not a football fan and usually, these dudes seem like they are not the brightest bulb in the box but Brandon Marshall seems like not just a pretty awesome person but incredibly smart. Definitely gives me a different insight to the players. I also really love what he mentions at making the sport safer, focusing on the fundamentals (when it becomes to being healthier), and that you do try to look out for each other (for the most part).
Thanks Brandon for doing this interview!
It wasn’t daks knee it was his ankle going in four directions
At a game of North Shore HS (Houston) against The Woodlands HS (The Woodlands) We have a student who got tackled and he didn't get up. The game was stopped for 10 minutes before he got up again, but the normally hype stadium, which was even louder that day because in TX, the Woodlands and North Shore are crazy and everybody was waiting for halftime too, was quieter.
I learned the soft tissue/bone thing the hard way. Got a crazy bad high ankle sprain in what ended up being my last year of competitive basketball. Doctor told me I would have been better off I'd broken a bone.
Me too but it was caused by a back injury and my leg giving out, I was stepping off a Patio. My ankle still bothers me 35 years later
Talking about turf right after Rodgers snapped his Achilles on turf just this week.
8:02 Uh-oh. Editor dropped the ball there.
Man that alex smith one is wild. I remember the updates just kept coming about how there was another complication and then another. Glad he was able to fully recover and be able to play some more snaps before retiring
Love this episode, its so important! Cannot believe Carson Wentz wasn't included! Poor guy snapped his ACL and MCL and kept playing for a couple plays before leaving the game. He hasn't been the same since.
Thank you for talking about concussions and the effects, they're no joke
is it just me or does docter mike always make my day
and always if he doesnt upload a video i rewatch the old videos he made
u should do another one tbh bc the injuries are sm worse this yeae
3:19 uuf!!!! 😖
I super appreciate the warnings for the worst ones thank youuu
As a football player i hyper extended my elbow and was told by my coaches it was just gonna be a bad bruise and i would be able to play next week. And btw i took that information and i was devastated when the doctor said i was out the whole season. But the worst part was not playing. The pain was a 7/10 (1 being a pinch and 10 being shot) in my opinion, but the worst part was not playing and everyone thinking i was a baby because i was almost crying and they thought it was just a bruise.
Hyperextensions are no joke
@@theduck9591 yea
Soft-tissue damage;
The gift that just keeps on giving.
I had a hyperextended thumb ... and the brace I wore the first week gave me a blister on the thumb
man it's awesome seeing Brandon Marshall again. dude was insanely underrated on the field
2:43 I’ve seen things before but that’s a whole other level of disgusting 🤮
8:36 (add time stamp so you know what I mean) yesterday, 26th jan, I had a bad collision playing hockey for school ( I HATE hockey) and I couldn’t breath properly. I had to sit out for the rest of the lesson and seeing you talk about chest injuries made me wonder if I should get checked out. I had hit my head as well. It was a shoulder and hockey stick to the centre of the chest. I’m female if that helps.
You need to do a soccer/football injuries, you could Maybe get someone like Tim Howard, ben foster or Maybe someone like Rio ferdinand, who is a defender who knows a lot about bad injuries. (all of them are on youtube/presenters now
You said in several of your videos that we could ask questions, so here are some for you:
What can one do if effected by low barometric pressure when one is still at near sea level? Symptoms: dizziness, sensitivity to light, trouble with sounds (placing them, recognizing if they are important, feels like ears are stuffed with cotton), trouble concentrating, sometimes the light nausea, and feeling like one might pass out.
BTW knee injuries really suck.. I'm missing 1/3 of my inner miniscus on the right knee and the small ligament on the back of the knie that holds the miniscus in place. And I don't even know where I got the original injury (torn of ligament) from: P. E., snowboarding, playing (field) hockey...I still feel the difference in power and durability the knees even though that got done in December 2006
Please react to some horse riding falls 🙏
I love Dr. Mike, his videos have helped me through a dark time. I am now seeing my GP regularly and about to start seeing a Psychologist for therapy.
I can’t believe you didn’t discuss Johnny Knox, a former Chicago Bear who was literally folded in half backwards during a play in 2011.
I was literally waiting for that one to come up too! I came across the vid of that one a couple years ago and omg that was horrendous to watch!
Or Zach Miller breaking his leg
@@gleefullystruckbyccandtlos I remember watching that game and was so dumbfounded to see them keep going.
Over the last 2-3 years I’ve learned that sepsis is actually really common still. I thought that was just a problem of the past but no, it’s still getting people every day, it’s wild.
