Actually physical therapy does use a modern version for spine issues or similar mobility related to vertical compression. Not a common one but it is used. Funny how your poking such a joke when he literally admits intentional excessive adjustments are made in surgery to fix stuff. Id wager he jealous Chiropractor if worth their skill accomplishes more with far less effort.
@@1014pur definitely biased. Stop going. They are robbing you. If you do stretches, proper stretches, diet, and exercise, massaging the muscles too you will feel as good as physically possible. Chiropractors are crooks. Nothing about their “adjustments” is okay for the human body. Dr. Chris has an episode on it aswell. Take that money and pay a personal trainer. Im telling you, once u get that pressure off ur joints by loosening up and strengthening ur muscles is amazing. Exercise has many benefits to mental and heart health aswell. Eating properly will ensure ur body gets what it need to properly take care of itself. And if u have arthritis the chiropractor is the last place to be. The only good thing is the stretching table but theres ways to do that at home. But the pool is a good place for people with joint issues. Saltwater is even better because of the increased buoyancy. Very low impact way to exercise limber up
I dealt with a guy who had his penis and a testicle trapped by a CAT (trauma tourniquet) that was applied high up on the thigh following multiple stab wounds to his thigh. It had been on for about 30mins by the time I arrived. He ended up losing the testicle eventually and the level of pain he was dealing with at the scene was so bad, I disassociated him with Ketamine as we sorted it out. It's a life-threatening or at least a life-long and life-altering injury situation. It's one of the few times I've shuddered in empathy for a patient. When I teach application of the CAT, I make an important note:'Check the junk is free before continuing at this point'.
Ugh. Tourniquet pressure wrap your balls to your leg... Surely there were no men present when that was done. No one walking by to notice and go "Whoa whoa WHOA! HOLD ON."
Humanity's ability to cause pain and suffering to others never ceases to amaze me. Though it is morbidly interesting to learn about all the little things that happen in the body that even those doing the torturing probably didn't know about.
I can’t remember the exact name of it, but where they would put a rat, or multiple, in a metal box on the victims chest, put a heat source on the top of the box and the rats would eat their way through the victim to escape
There's a bit of a lesser known one I've been curious about how it would injure someone. It's called the Scavenger's Daughter. It was invented during the reign of King Henry VIII
The Boot is pure evil. It is metal boot where wedges are pounded or screwed into the toes and lower leg. Strappado was the normal modus operandi of the inquisition where the suspected heretic would be lifted by the wrists that were tied from behind and either held aloft or quickly dropped while still suspended. The victim would then be hanged or burned depending on the confession.
Scaphism aka "The Boats" "It ostensibly entailed trapping the victim between two boats, feeding and covering them with milk and honey, and allowing them to fester and be devoured by insects and other vermin over time." Wonder how long a person could be kept alive under those conditions if they were maintained with modern medical science by the torturer. Use of anti-biotics and other things to stave off sepsis for as long as possible, and IV adrenaline to keep them awake and conscious the whole time.... gruesome.
It’s so depressing to see these torture methods. To think that someone could sit and force anyone else through that is just unfathomable. It’s scary to think torture is still happening in many places around the world today. It’s so sad thinking that we still haven’t outgrown that kind of cruelty.
I don't know how people are okay with others literally screaming or moaning in pain. You could hate someone so much that you could shoot them through the head for quick kill maybe, but torture of this sort? You have to be below some animal.
I had a dislocation that resulted in a subluxating kneecap that required a tibial tubercle osteotomy. I'm also a horror movie buff. But now I can't watch any scenes of knee injuries without needing to cover my eyes. The rack absolutely terrifies me.
I know the same feeling… not with my knee, but rather my ankle. My (black) cat ran in front of me and tripped me over, I dislocated by tibia, fractured by fibula and tore the soft tissues between them. Since then I can’t handle watching anything showing ankle injuries.
Luckily I'm able to get the majority of my joints back in place by conducting personal closed reductions... I have hypermobility disorder (my ligaments and tendons are longer than normal). My knees, femoral heads, and proximal ulnas cause the most pain but at least I can reduce those quickly. My humeral head, mainly my left one, tends to get stuck and I occasionally need assistance in rotating it back in.
My mom is an orthopedic RN in surgery and we both think that the Blood Eagle has to be a myth because we think the victim would go into shock and die before the torturer could even finish it. We'd love to hear your analysis.
dang, that's like a prolonged torture. the torturers problably thought it a mercy not to just kill him there... I'm so glad I don't live in that time period
@@kyle18934 Realistically if you was being subjected to one of these the chances are that execution was in your immediate future, contrary to popular belief sever torture wasn't all that common and was generally reserved for the worst crimes or for the extraction of information from spies and depending on when/where you where might even require outright written orders from the monarch to even do.
There was a torture method, mostly used in eastern countries, who had access to bamboo - person was seated or placed above the bamboo shoot, and the bamboo sprouted through someones body. This is kind of some good old impalement. Also the rat torture - rats were placed on persons abdomen and covered with bucket or cage which was heated. Rats only way to get out was through someones body.
My Malaysian bf brings up the bamboo thing every time I bring up medieval torture. I don't know why but the rack is less horrifying than the bamboo one when a person tells you one of his great uncles died from it because of a racial purge...
I was tortured repeatedly a child and the mental scars are the most damaging, they stay with you for life and while, yes, victims can get better, often they have a very long road - I mean I'm still getting help well into adulthood, the scariest part is no matter what I may of went through history had infinitely worse things, often done to innocent people, as bad as the world can get we must be thankful that torture is rightfully outlawed in most areas of the modern world.
I've never experienced what you have and I'm proud of you for getting and continuing to get help and support for your trauma. You aren't alone seeking help for trauma very long term. I too am probably going to be in treatment for childhood trauma for a very long portion of my adulthood and it's life saving treatment. I wish you healing and joy in your life now. And a soft place to fall on the hardest days.
Always a nice variety on this channel while still keeping to your theme. Loving it. I started from the Warhammer 40k videos cause I was a fan, subscribed cause I'm a fan of you now!
Hey Doc. Just a quick comment to say how I appreciate your work. I popped in for chiro debunk videos, because chiro is not a thing here in France and I wanted to understand (oh boy the quackery) but stayed for the fantasy and historical stuff. Great research and work in these videos. Keep'em coming, it's a treat!
If you want to go on with older methods of torture/execution (which, let's be honest, most of these things were), I would suggest taking a look at the "blood eagle" as it is described in Heimskringla and Orkneyinga saga. The historical accuracy of these accounts are still debated, but they are absolutely plausible and likely to have taken place even if the details might be a bit off. I'll also make the concession that this is a bit less of a torture method as much as an extremely painful method of ritualistic execution.
4:30 i had this done to me bc i fractured both my bones in my lower arm and they where not alligned anymore, they literally used weights to scretch it apart and align it again it was incredible painful, i still shiver when i think about it. But im very glad they did that so my arm is normal and not fucked up, so shoutout to all the nice docs out there,
Really happy to see this follow-up video. I enjoyed the first installment quite a bit but thought this was more in-depth and really enjoyed the selection of torture methods reviewed especially the Judas Cradle which was one I always found particularly fascinating. For your next installment or perhaps a separate series how about looking at torture methods used in film and television. First thing that comes to mind is the scene from Casino Royale where James Bond is tied to a chair with the middle of the seat removed and repeatedly hit in the genitals with a rope knot. What I love about this scene is the line from Le Chiffre: “You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure.”
@@kemp9842 oh yeah those mythical beings more akin to gods than men haha you silly Americans and your manifest destiny and exceptionalism. You do horrific things and then go pass it off.
My father was a medical photographer in the RAF hospital in Ely Cambridgeshire UK just after WW2. When they had a fracture or dislocation they called upon the services of members of the Rugby team.

I want to hear your thoughts and studies on the incredibly cruel torture and execution by the Persian empire known as Scaphism or "The Boats". The entire process is deemed as one of the most horrific ways to perish by human means in history, rivaling methods like impalement and other types mentioned already on this channel. I feel this would take a little while to fully cover in a video from all of the factors in play for this evil design.
Trained Elephants in some eastern empires of old times were taught commands to torture criminals before performing executions on their handlers' commands. I'd like to hear about the full scope of that damage. Edited for clarity.
@khangnguyenduongbao6126 most common in the Mughal empire/India. I wasn't very clear in my comment, but if you google execution by elephant, you should see a fair bit come up.
@khangnguyenduongbao6126 Thank you for the information. The only video I found covered just India. It did mention there were other places, but didn't specify where, so now I know one. I always learn a lot in comment sections lol. Anyways, I'm sorry if I come across as insensitive or patronizing, I didn't mean to be an ass. Edit for brevity and typos
I have watched a documentary where they stated that in extreme “racking proceedings”, bones would actually snap first before the ligaments tear. They showed it through a pretty amazing 3d hologram.
12:08 Since nobody's tossed their hat in the ring for the math problem, allow me. First, our unit conversions. We've got to convert 1200 pounds into kilograms. Thankfully, the conversion is a single unit conversion factor, giving us 1200 lb = 1200 * (.453592 kg / 1 lb) = _x_ kg. Multiplying 1200 by .453592 gives us... about 544.3 kilograms. Now, we need the acceleration, since force = mass (in kilograms) * acceleration (in m/s). Unfortunately, the conversion from miles per hour to meters per second is a *multi-unit* conversion factor, so things get a lot more complicated. First, we need to convert miles to meters, needing this conversion: 40 miles = (5280 ft / 1 mi) * (.3048 m / 1 ft). Since our units cancel out, we get _40 miles = 40 * 5280 * .3048_ = _x_ m. 5280 * .3048 = 1609.344 meters per mile; multiply that by 40 and we get about 64,000 meters per hour. Luckily, the conversion from hours to seconds is *easy* - 1 hr = 1 * (60 min / 1 hr) * (60 sec / 1 min), or 1 hr = (1 * 60 * 60) = _x_ sec, and since 60 * 60 = 3600, we get _1 hr = 3600 sec._ Finally, for our accel value, we take 64,000 and divide it by 3600 to get... *wow.* 17 meters per second. To put it another way, a human can *sprint* at about 5 m/s. Here's the thing - we know mass, we know acceleration, so F = 544.3 * 17, or about 9,300 newtons! Assuming the average Iliofemoral ligament has a cross-sectional area at its thinnest point of, according to my Mk 1 eyeball, 100 square millimeters (based on a drawing I found of the hip joint), we need... the stress formula. Stress (σ) is force/area; with a force of 9,300 newtons and an area of 100 square millimeters, we're talking a force of about 93 megapascals (one newton/m² = .000001 megapascal, so one newton/100 mm² = .01 megapascals)... *constantly.* However, that's if we consider that horse not being *stopped* at all, an instant tear like a 100-square-millimeter "dowel" of wet toilet paper. In reality, what we would see is that horse moving, then its speed being *drastically* reduced. But for how long? Let's work it out. The kinetic energy formula is: E = 1/2 m v². Energy equals 1/2 of the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity. We know the velocity and the mass, so we plug in the numbers, crunch them out, and get E = 1/2 * 544.3 * 17². Exponent first, then left-to-right multiplication, so E = 1/2 * 544.3 * 289 -> E = 1/2 * 157302 -> E = about 79,000 Joules. And a lot of this energy is being delivered into the ligaments. OUCH. But it gets *worse,* because we're not just dealing with a moving object, we're dealing with a moving object that stops suddenly - about a second at my best guess, and... call it a full centimeter or two of "collision distance." Yes, we're talking reverse impact. We have a 544.3-kilogram object moving at 17 meters a second stopping with two centimeters of "collision" distance as that horse is brought to a much slower pace... *briefly.* So, we're going to calculate impact force via the Impact Force formula, but using collision distance. With collision distance, the impact force formula is F = 1/(2 d) m v²; we'll plug and chug again. F = 1/(2 * .02) * 544.3 * 17² -> F = 1/.04 * 544.3 * 17² -> F = 1/.04 * 544.3 * 289 -> F = 25 * 544.3 * 289 -> F = about *3,900,000 newtons,* right into the friggin' ligaments. *OUCH.* Let's recalculate *instant* stress using the average force calculated here; using the same estimate of 100 mm², we get a stress of σ = 3,900,000 / 100, or 39,000 MEGAPASCALS *RIGHT INTO THE LIGAMENT. OUCH!* Now, that's not going to *tear* them right off immediately, but it *will* compromise the ligament, meaning *less* stress is needed for a complete tear. And last I checked, muscle and skin can't handle near the level of ligament strain. So... *yeah,* PAIN AND SUFFERING.
I would like to see “Spine injury myths “. Some people think that severing the spine kills a person instantly. Or that once paralyzed always paralyzed. Ect.
I knew a fella, working his commercial fish boat alone in the ocean. He was back hauling the net which was powered by the boats propulsion engine. He got caught in the net. It rotated him through time after time. Beating him against the deck on the bottom of the roll and compressing him. It was really sad. Within a little more than a year his wife died alone from drugs. They had a brand new baby. Bless their souls. They were good folk.
A lot of so-called historical torture methods may never have been actually used. The scary devices were just for intimidation. I'm not an expert, but the one I remember is the iron maiden not being real, and pears of anguish, too.
Yeah, being 'good christians' and the like, all those devices were just painted in there, right. And besides criminals/witches being outcaste and/or unbaptised means they were less than livestock, so just animals.. The same people are still doing similar things inside of my lifetime, not paint, not 'the power of suggestion'.
Some are myths, some are confirmed in written documents. Torture takes place today, in western countries. Maybe not the same kind, but torture nonetheless.
I would love to see you cover the bamboo torture method, they did an episode on myth busters about it historical feasibility and that was terrifying to see 😂
Whenever you feel the need to complain about ANYTHING, whether it's the weather or your job or relationships or paycheck or a bad day, BE GRATEFUL YOU LIVE IN THIS DAY AND AGE AND YOU ARE NOT IN ONE OF THESE DEVICES. That always keeps my mood upbeat.
I saw a segment on TV in which they simulated a racking with a pig leg. In this experiment, the shin bone snapped just below the knee joint before the knee ligamentes gave way. But under this amount of force, my guess is that other human joints would fail first.
Depends on the health of the bone i'd hazard carefully, healthy vs. age related density loss. And the bone area below the knee joint is if i remember correctly where that bones growth plate lais soo... i would wildly assume that is more sensitive against pull force anyways.
If you want another list of 5 brutal ones: 1. The Iron Mask 2. The Iron Maiden 3. Bamboo Shoot Torture 4. Original Water Boarding 5. The Wall of siberian origin Bonus obscure ones that were super nasty: The Crawl Of 1000 razors, and/or The Nest Of 10,000 Wires if you can get info on those
The most horrifying I ever heard of was a person tied down and fed/watered. While bamboo was planted under them and letting it grow through them. I can’t remember if that was a novel or an actual torture method. But days/weeks/months of intrusion and infection absolutely traumatized me.
@@Mr.Bazamo Yeah well, i know, but i think "third" and second method are the same. Racked and quartered are basically the same movement, but just different in how fast you do it. So thats what i meant with my comment. For me, there is only four methods in this video :).
I had a SI joint seperation of the right side at 16 y/o after an accident at my first job. I am 52 now and the injury has been a life long struggle of painful flair ups. It is beyond painful.
Respect to the historian in the clip demonstrating the scolds bridle lol. No shame, enduring pain for learning and teaching, that's a real learner and educator lol
this reminds me very much of Amnesia: The Dark Descents torture rooms which also reminds me of one of the torture methods used in there. and its not a pleasant way to go. "The rapist hanged upside down, his tears soiled with blood flooding from his belly. The saw between his legs had lodged in the hip and wouldn't move any further. The men stepped back and waited for the victim to drain." This torture was also seen in the Terrifier Horror Movie and i would like to see you feature this gruesome torture method in the next EP you make. to see if it hold any fact behind it.
If you can and want to, could you cover the torture method scaphism, also known as “the boats”? Ever since I learnt about it, I can’t image a worse way to be punished.
Morbid yet fascinating stuff. And yes! I do have suggestions about what absolutely abhorrent forms of "punishment" the human mind has thought of. The Iron Maiden (which I suggest just so you can use some of the classic tunes from the metal band), Scaphism, Ling Chi (death by a thousand cuts) and bifurcation/ waist chop are probably some more of the straight forward ones but the ones I'm really interested in are the sensory type tortures i.e. sensory overload, the use of sound and light, how sensitive are our senses for example? And are we, in fact, doing this to ourselves on a semi voluntary basis with the use of drugs and smartphones etc. Lastly, sleep deprivation. I think there's a lot we don't know about sleep except that we desperately need it.
If you want to learn about the effects of sleep deprivation, look up Fatal Familial Insomnia. It's a condition that runs in families where the sufferer is completely unable to sleep, even sedated, until the point where their body inevitably gives out.
@@stephanie4698 Thanks, mate. I vaguely remember hearing about it. It's incredibly rare and sounds, frankly, like a living nightmare. Terrifying doesn't even come close to describing it would be.
The rupture has happened to a couple of hockey players. Mostly from a frozen puck going over 100 miles an hour... even with a cup. There is a reason why goalies wear 3 cups. They have been speared down there, but haven't heard of a stick rupturing that area.
That is a torture in itself. Shall be called "The Pucking". For real though when you see a cup get dented from a direct shot to the boys you feel that in your bones
You might want to describe the simplest of all torture devices: The Wheel. Also, consider what was without a doubt the most horrific, although technically not a “device” at all: the Oubliette. There cannot possibly be a worse way to go than the Oubliette.
Hi Doctor! I subsucribed years ago and wtach some videos where you barely get 10 k views and now I m very happy to see videos with over 100,200 and some with over 1 million views. The power of grinding
One time, I weighed as heavy as 300+ lbs. which caused me chronic back pain from having the lower vertebrae in my spine grinding on each other from wear and tear from the excessive weight. It made walking extremely painful. I joined Weight Watchers and lost a significant amount of weight. I wasn't at a goal weight just yet, but I was able to walk again.
Man this really made me light-headed. I just prayed to God that I ever had found myself about to be tortured in any of these ways had I lived in these times, I would have found any way at all to off myself first, even jumping off a building seems better than any of these.
14:56 i was sitting through this without cringing and flinching until this point. 18:53 and it didnt gt better lol. Also the Judas Cradle was featured in Dwane Johnson's Hercules film at the start.
My 11 year old son developed perthes disease. And had to have a distal femoral osteotomy. I knew nothing about hip disorders. I know a fair amount now. I had never heard of that before, he is fine now, he's 15 and absolutely healthy
I watch this mainly because as a writer, I want to know how this kind of thing would really affect a person because we all know that what we see in the movies is likely crap.
I haven't heard about the horse (a torture device, not a piece of sports equipment), but considering that even sitting on the vulva on a flat surface (I hated these broken auditorium chairs so much...) hurts pretty bad... I don't want to think about it.
Dr. Raynor, I am a sax player, with issues in neck and spine because of years of hanging saxophones from a neckstrap, could you do a video on long term effects (adverse or not) and what can be done to avoid injury.. I have just swapped from neckstrap to a jazzlabs saxholder which distributes the weight of the horn to the shoulders and with abdominal support, it takes all the strain off the neck (at least so far as i understand) thank you for your videos very much appreciated. Thank you and have a great day
Can confirm that dislocations, ripped ligaments, and damaged joints are torture. I was injured at work, and couldn't feel or move my entire right arm. Turns out I had fractured the collarbone and had a SLAP type 4 tear. Surgeon performed a distal-clavicle resection and repaired the tear. I was still unable to use my arm after a year after surgery, he said it was just in my head. Couldn't even hold a pencil. Saw another surgeon with the help of a lawyer, and he realized I had a winged scapula (on both sides, but right side was severe) from a paralyzed serratus anterior muscle. So, we did specialized physical therapy for about six months, then he took me to surgery. He shaved down the end of my collarbone, cleaned out a bunch of scar tissue, repaired the labrum again, and released the adhesions. It's been two years since the second surgery and I have about 85% function back in my arm, but I do have a permanent impairment (no lifting/carrying more than 20 lbs, overhead reaches are a struggle, and chronic pain since the shoulder joint no longer connects, so everything is harder). Recovery from a joint surgery is probably the most painful one I've had.
Eyo there. Commented last week on your 50 cal video. Operation was done a few days ago, the plate's in and the wrist seems to be on the mend! Still pretty sore but got some level of movement back in it already that seems to be improving on the daily. Cheers for the reply before!
Great video. What obut upsidedown people slowly splitted in half with a saw. How It is possible not to die or at least get unconscious on first cut? I mean, there are stories telling of people severed till the belly button and more before they die.
Great Video as always. Would love to see you look at the "Rolling Rack" iirc it was a Mongolian Torture device where a person was Strapped onto a large wicker or wooden wheel and pushed down a hill or something like that. Also, I think it would be cool if you could cover if we do or do not use a system like the Rack to help prevent loss of height through aging or just a video on why people lose height as they age and if there is anything to do about it.
Great video doc we need more of these, here some of my suggestions are: iron maiden, guillotine, impalement, sawing, rat cage, thusand cuts, skinned, white torture, scaphism. Also we need you to analyse new garand thumb video regarding tank shell vs human torso to give us some insight what are the chances of surviving that.
I came to watch something wholesome or good before i sleep so i sleep with a happy mood ... U should thank ur thumbnail maker , did a great job to ruin my night 😑😂 im probably a masochist cuz im giving the video a thumbs up . Great video as always ❤
I don't know where i saw it, but the scene was: guy tied to tree with steel cable around 8mm thick. One end was secured to tree, coiling around him and tree from shoulders, down to just bellow knees where other end continued into truck mounted winch. There was a detail that due to friction, it would start tightening at loop closest to winch first and that was until whole loop was touching tree.
Back when the internet was new I remember a site called banged up. Someone filmed a guy being lowered onto a spike in his butt and then a few minutes later you could see the spike come through by the collar bone. It was public execution.
I would like to see a breakdown of the torture method known as scaphism. WARNING, do not google that if you have a weak stomach, it makes the rack look like child's play.
How about a series about "How likely is this protagonist to survive and injury" when inficted upon another they just simply die. For example, it seems an NPC just dies after being shot in the torso or simply become totatlly incapacitated while the hero can just ignore the pain and can go on fighting as if they were all just flesh wounds.
Different games give different answers to that. Uncharted just says you're running out of luck, and you still die to one bullet that connects, but your opponent's aren't professionals either, so there's some random chance in whether or not any one shot kills you.
A dog trainer I had took the new career after "tearing her arm off". She was a heavy equipment driver, was holding onto the 5 ton? bucket when it snapped and dropped. It happened so fast, with such force , she couldn't let go quickly enough and her arm basically was torn off, skin , arteries and some tendons staying mostly attached. She has to carry her arm in a sling as it's pretty much unusable. Yeah, she said it hurt then and still often does.

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

Humanity's ability to cause pain and suffering to others never ceases to amaze me. Though it is morbidly interesting to learn about all the little things that happen in the body that even those doing the torturing probably didn't know about.

There's a bit of a lesser known one I've been curious about how it would injure someone. It's called the Scavenger's Daughter. It was invented during the reign of King Henry VIII
The Boot is pure evil. It is metal boot where wedges are pounded or screwed into the toes and lower leg.
Strappado was the normal modus operandi of the inquisition where the suspected heretic would be lifted by the wrists that were tied from behind and either held aloft or quickly dropped while still suspended. The victim would then be hanged or burned depending on the confession.
Scaphism aka "The Boats"
"It ostensibly entailed trapping the victim between two boats, feeding and covering them with milk and honey, and allowing them to fester and be devoured by insects and other vermin over time."
Wonder how long a person could be kept alive under those conditions if they were maintained with modern medical science by the torturer. Use of anti-biotics and other things to stave off sepsis for as long as possible, and IV adrenaline to keep them awake and conscious the whole time.... gruesome.
It’s so depressing to see these torture methods. To think that someone could sit and force anyone else through that is just unfathomable. It’s scary to think torture is still happening in many places around the world today. It’s so sad thinking that we still haven’t outgrown that kind of cruelty.
Maybe those people like it.... 😮😮
I don't know how people are okay with others literally screaming or moaning in pain. You could hate someone so much that you could shoot them through the head for quick kill maybe, but torture of this sort? You have to be below some animal.
There are some people deserving of punishments such as these. Chomos, for example.
@@GoonShaker You don't know what a Chomo is? Tell me you've never been to jail/prison without telling me you've never been to jail/prison.
That has more to do with the nature of the punisher than the "Chomo", I always felt those advocating torture do it for their own pleasure.
I had a dislocation that resulted in a subluxating kneecap that required a tibial tubercle osteotomy. I'm also a horror movie buff. But now I can't watch any scenes of knee injuries without needing to cover my eyes. The rack absolutely terrifies me.
I use that procedure from time to time to address patellar instability or pain.
@@ChrisRaynorMD If there are any exercises you recommend from your side channel that would help my knees I'd love to know!
I know the same feeling… not with my knee, but rather my ankle. My (black) cat ran in front of me and tripped me over, I dislocated by tibia, fractured by fibula and tore the soft tissues between them. Since then I can’t handle watching anything showing ankle injuries.
Wow, those are words that are very hard to understand
Luckily I'm able to get the majority of my joints back in place by conducting personal closed reductions... I have hypermobility disorder (my ligaments and tendons are longer than normal). My knees, femoral heads, and proximal ulnas cause the most pain but at least I can reduce those quickly. My humeral head, mainly my left one, tends to get stuck and I occasionally need assistance in rotating it back in.
My mom is an orthopedic RN in surgery and we both think that the Blood Eagle has to be a myth because we think the victim would go into shock and die before the torturer could even finish it. We'd love to hear your analysis.
I read about a guy who was racked in the late medieval period. His family had to feed and carry him the last few years he lived.
dang, that's like a prolonged torture. the torturers problably thought it a mercy not to just kill him there... I'm so glad I don't live in that time period
@@kyle18934 Realistically if you was being subjected to one of these the chances are that execution was in your immediate future, contrary to popular belief sever torture wasn't all that common and was generally reserved for the worst crimes or for the extraction of information from spies and depending on when/where you where might even require outright written orders from the monarch to even do.
I can't think of anything more evil than torture. It's hard to believe it really happens. Such a sick world we live in.
Extremely sick.
Killing someone is more evil.
@dragonrasp I would classify that as a form of mental torture. Sometimes that can be allot worse then physical torture.
@dragonrasp "woke views", "leftists". What the actual fuck are you talking about? :D
@dragonrasp I don't even know what to say. Bottom line, you do not have a human soul inside you.
There was a torture method, mostly used in eastern countries, who had access to bamboo - person was seated or placed above the bamboo shoot, and the bamboo sprouted through someones body. This is kind of some good old impalement. Also the rat torture - rats were placed on persons abdomen and covered with bucket or cage which was heated. Rats only way to get out was through someones body.
I’ve always wondered about the validity of these methods
My Malaysian bf brings up the bamboo thing every time I bring up medieval torture. I don't know why but the rack is less horrifying than the bamboo one when a person tells you one of his great uncles died from it because of a racial purge...
How did I just find your channel? You answered so many questions I've had about how horrible the past was. Thanks for the great content.
I was tortured repeatedly a child and the mental scars are the most damaging, they stay with you for life and while, yes, victims can get better, often they have a very long road - I mean I'm still getting help well into adulthood, the scariest part is no matter what I may of went through history had infinitely worse things, often done to innocent people, as bad as the world can get we must be thankful that torture is rightfully outlawed in most areas of the modern world.
That's why in a certain south American country they used coke bottles knowing that the victims would probably see one every day....
i hope you're okay now :(
I've never experienced what you have and I'm proud of you for getting and continuing to get help and support for your trauma. You aren't alone seeking help for trauma very long term. I too am probably going to be in treatment for childhood trauma for a very long portion of my adulthood and it's life saving treatment. I wish you healing and joy in your life now. And a soft place to fall on the hardest days.
Always a nice variety on this channel while still keeping to your theme. Loving it. I started from the Warhammer 40k videos cause I was a fan, subscribed cause I'm a fan of you now!
I'm a visual learner, so I love the program you're using to show the different parts of the body. So interesting and educational, doc! ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
You’re definitely the most entertaining doctor I’ve seen on TH-cam
Hey Doc. Just a quick comment to say how I appreciate your work. I popped in for chiro debunk videos, because chiro is not a thing here in France and I wanted to understand (oh boy the quackery) but stayed for the fantasy and historical stuff. Great research and work in these videos. Keep'em coming, it's a treat!
If you want to go on with older methods of torture/execution (which, let's be honest, most of these things were), I would suggest taking a look at the "blood eagle" as it is described in Heimskringla and Orkneyinga saga. The historical accuracy of these accounts are still debated, but they are absolutely plausible and likely to have taken place even if the details might be a bit off. I'll also make the concession that this is a bit less of a torture method as much as an extremely painful method of ritualistic execution.
or what about being put in a box covered in honey in a swamp. death by bugs
@Kyle Oien Ask A Mortician did a great job on that one, if you haven't seen it.
@@kyle18934 I just requested that one as well. Scaphism… about to most messed up way to go.
This came to mind immediately. Yes please, Doc. 😁
I've read about it. And then I've read the article to my mom. She was grossed out
4:30 i had this done to me bc i fractured both my bones in my lower arm and they where not alligned anymore, they literally used weights to scretch it apart and align it again it was incredible painful, i still shiver when i think about it. But im very glad they did that so my arm is normal and not fucked up, so shoutout to all the nice docs out there,
Really happy to see this follow-up video. I enjoyed the first installment quite a bit but thought this was more in-depth and really enjoyed the selection of torture methods reviewed especially the Judas Cradle which was one I always found particularly fascinating. For your next installment or perhaps a separate series how about looking at torture methods used in film and television. First thing that comes to mind is the scene from Casino Royale where James Bond is tied to a chair with the middle of the seat removed and repeatedly hit in the genitals with a rope knot. What I love about this scene is the line from Le Chiffre: “You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure.”
Awesome video. I've seen lots of torture videos on TH-cam and they never go in depth of the tissue damage like you did. Thanks!
There's a reason the Eight Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
Yes because the United States of America never tortured anyone lol 😂

18:51 “It’s a pyramid up your butt. You can’t fix that.” -Dr. Raynor; first draft of the script (probably)

I want to hear your thoughts and studies on the incredibly cruel torture and execution by the Persian empire known as Scaphism or "The Boats". The entire process is deemed as one of the most horrific ways to perish by human means in history, rivaling methods like impalement and other types mentioned already on this channel. I feel this would take a little while to fully cover in a video from all of the factors in play for this evil design.
Trained Elephants in some eastern empires of old times were taught commands to torture criminals before performing executions on their handlers' commands.
I'd like to hear about the full scope of that damage.
Edited for clarity.
what the actual hell
Thanks for the comment, am scouring through to see if any has mentioned it lol
@khangnguyenduongbao6126 most common in the Mughal empire/India. I wasn't very clear in my comment, but if you google execution by elephant, you should see a fair bit come up.
@@pinkyuzu well we in Vietnam also had that kind of method too
@khangnguyenduongbao6126 Thank you for the information. The only video I found covered just India. It did mention there were other places, but didn't specify where, so now I know one. I always learn a lot in comment sections lol. Anyways, I'm sorry if I come across as insensitive or patronizing, I didn't mean to be an ass.
Edit for brevity and typos
I have watched a documentary where they stated that in extreme “racking proceedings”, bones would actually snap first before the ligaments tear. They showed it through a pretty amazing 3d hologram.
12:08 Since nobody's tossed their hat in the ring for the math problem, allow me.
First, our unit conversions. We've got to convert 1200 pounds into kilograms. Thankfully, the conversion is a single unit conversion factor, giving us 1200 lb = 1200 * (.453592 kg / 1 lb) = _x_ kg. Multiplying 1200 by .453592 gives us... about 544.3 kilograms. Now, we need the acceleration, since force = mass (in kilograms) * acceleration (in m/s).
Unfortunately, the conversion from miles per hour to meters per second is a *multi-unit* conversion factor, so things get a lot more complicated. First, we need to convert miles to meters, needing this conversion: 40 miles = (5280 ft / 1 mi) * (.3048 m / 1 ft). Since our units cancel out, we get _40 miles = 40 * 5280 * .3048_ = _x_ m. 5280 * .3048 = 1609.344 meters per mile; multiply that by 40 and we get about 64,000 meters per hour. Luckily, the conversion from hours to seconds is *easy* - 1 hr = 1 * (60 min / 1 hr) * (60 sec / 1 min), or 1 hr = (1 * 60 * 60) = _x_ sec, and since 60 * 60 = 3600, we get _1 hr = 3600 sec._
Finally, for our accel value, we take 64,000 and divide it by 3600 to get... *wow.* 17 meters per second. To put it another way, a human can *sprint* at about 5 m/s. Here's the thing - we know mass, we know acceleration, so F = 544.3 * 17, or about 9,300 newtons! Assuming the average Iliofemoral ligament has a cross-sectional area at its thinnest point of, according to my Mk 1 eyeball, 100 square millimeters (based on a drawing I found of the hip joint), we need... the stress formula.
Stress (σ) is force/area; with a force of 9,300 newtons and an area of 100 square millimeters, we're talking a force of about 93 megapascals (one newton/m² = .000001 megapascal, so one newton/100 mm² = .01 megapascals)... *constantly.* However, that's if we consider that horse not being *stopped* at all, an instant tear like a 100-square-millimeter "dowel" of wet toilet paper. In reality, what we would see is that horse moving, then its speed being *drastically* reduced. But for how long? Let's work it out.
The kinetic energy formula is: E = 1/2 m v². Energy equals 1/2 of the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity. We know the velocity and the mass, so we plug in the numbers, crunch them out, and get E = 1/2 * 544.3 * 17². Exponent first, then left-to-right multiplication, so E = 1/2 * 544.3 * 289 -> E = 1/2 * 157302 -> E = about 79,000 Joules. And a lot of this energy is being delivered into the ligaments. OUCH.
But it gets *worse,* because we're not just dealing with a moving object, we're dealing with a moving object that stops suddenly - about a second at my best guess, and... call it a full centimeter or two of "collision distance." Yes, we're talking reverse impact. We have a 544.3-kilogram object moving at 17 meters a second stopping with two centimeters of "collision" distance as that horse is brought to a much slower pace... *briefly.* So, we're going to calculate impact force via the Impact Force formula, but using collision distance. With collision distance, the impact force formula is F = 1/(2 d) m v²; we'll plug and chug again. F = 1/(2 * .02) * 544.3 * 17² -> F = 1/.04 * 544.3 * 17² -> F = 1/.04 * 544.3 * 289 -> F = 25 * 544.3 * 289 -> F = about *3,900,000 newtons,* right into the friggin' ligaments. *OUCH.*
Let's recalculate *instant* stress using the average force calculated here; using the same estimate of 100 mm², we get a stress of σ = 3,900,000 / 100, or 39,000 MEGAPASCALS *RIGHT INTO THE LIGAMENT. OUCH!* Now, that's not going to *tear* them right off immediately, but it *will* compromise the ligament, meaning *less* stress is needed for a complete tear. And last I checked, muscle and skin can't handle near the level of ligament strain. So... *yeah,* PAIN AND SUFFERING.
I would like to see “Spine injury myths “.
Some people think that severing the spine kills a person instantly. Or that once paralyzed always paralyzed. Ect.
Thanks for the tip! I like that idea!
I knew a fella, working his commercial fish boat alone in the ocean. He was back hauling the net which was powered by the boats propulsion engine. He got caught in the net. It rotated him through time after time. Beating him against the deck on the bottom of the roll and compressing him. It was really sad. Within a little more than a year his wife died alone from drugs. They had a brand new baby. Bless their souls. They were good folk.
A lot of so-called historical torture methods may never have been actually used. The scary devices were just for intimidation. I'm not an expert, but the one I remember is the iron maiden not being real, and pears of anguish, too.
You'd have to torture some historians to know for sure...
Yeah, being 'good christians' and the like, all those devices were just painted in there, right. And besides criminals/witches being outcaste and/or unbaptised means they were less than livestock, so just animals..
The same people are still doing similar things inside of my lifetime, not paint, not 'the power of suggestion'.
Well.. To even come up with these devices is SICK too
Hope it's true, I cannot imagine doing any of this sustained punishment to a fellow living creature.
Some are myths, some are confirmed in written documents. Torture takes place today, in western countries. Maybe not the same kind, but torture nonetheless.
I would love to see you cover the bamboo torture method, they did an episode on myth busters about it historical feasibility and that was terrifying to see 😂
is that the one where they "plant" you strategically on the bamboo sprout and it grows inside your body?
@@sidviscous5959 yep that's the one
Any method of impalement is terrifying, especially since it sometimes missed anything immediately vital and the victim could live for days
Whenever you feel the need to complain about ANYTHING, whether it's the weather or your job or relationships or paycheck or a bad day, BE GRATEFUL YOU LIVE IN THIS DAY AND AGE AND YOU ARE NOT IN ONE OF THESE DEVICES. That always keeps my mood upbeat.
Always remember, the past was the worst.
🙄
Darn right
Excellent video from a surgeon's perspective! I've never seen it explained in this way.
I saw a segment on TV in which they simulated a racking with a pig leg. In this experiment, the shin bone snapped just below the knee joint before the knee ligamentes gave way. But under this amount of force, my guess is that other human joints would fail first.
Interesting to know. I will have to look it up.
Depends on the health of the bone i'd hazard carefully, healthy vs. age related density loss. And the bone area below the knee joint is if i remember correctly where that bones growth plate lais soo... i would wildly assume that is more sensitive against pull force anyways.
@@chriss2031 agreed
If you want another list of 5 brutal ones:
1. The Iron Mask
2. The Iron Maiden
3. Bamboo Shoot Torture
4. Original Water Boarding
5. The Wall of siberian origin
Bonus obscure ones that were super nasty: The Crawl Of 1000 razors, and/or The Nest Of 10,000 Wires if you can get info on those
We need more of this. Theres so many out there that i think we should deep dive into it and the history behind each
The most horrifying I ever heard of was a person tied down and fed/watered. While bamboo was planted under them and letting it grow through them. I can’t remember if that was a novel or an actual torture method. But days/weeks/months of intrusion and infection absolutely traumatized me.
Bamboo grows amazingly fast
it was actually used in real life
I've read it was used by the Japanese in WW2.
If you have the right bamboo, this just takes days..
People are truly creative in finding ways to harm others...

@@Mr.Bazamo Yeah well, i know, but i think "third" and second method are the same. Racked and quartered are basically the same movement, but just different in how fast you do it. So thats what i meant with my comment. For me, there is only four methods in this video :).

Respect to the historian in the clip demonstrating the scolds bridle lol. No shame, enduring pain for learning and teaching, that's a real learner and educator lol
this reminds me very much of Amnesia: The Dark Descents torture rooms which also reminds me of one of the torture methods used in there. and its not a pleasant way to go.
"The rapist hanged upside down, his tears soiled with blood flooding from his belly. The saw between his legs had lodged in the hip and wouldn't move any further.
The men stepped back and waited for the victim to drain."
This torture was also seen in the Terrifier Horror Movie and i would like to see you feature this gruesome torture method in the next EP you make.
to see if it hold any fact behind it.
We need an episode like this about POW torture like the alleged bamboo torture

a question do u edit the videos, cause they r rly good?
I have an editor.
@@ChrisRaynorMD well, very nice editor
If you can and want to, could you cover the torture method scaphism, also known as “the boats”? Ever since I learnt about it, I can’t image a worse way to be punished.
Morbid yet fascinating stuff. And yes! I do have suggestions about what absolutely abhorrent forms of "punishment" the human mind has thought of.
The Iron Maiden (which I suggest just so you can use some of the classic tunes from the metal band), Scaphism, Ling Chi (death by a thousand cuts) and bifurcation/ waist chop are probably some more of the straight forward ones but the ones I'm really interested in are the sensory type tortures i.e. sensory overload, the use of sound and light, how sensitive are our senses for example? And are we, in fact, doing this to ourselves on a semi voluntary basis with the use of drugs and smartphones etc.
Lastly, sleep deprivation. I think there's a lot we don't know about sleep except that we desperately need it.
If you want to learn about the effects of sleep deprivation, look up Fatal Familial Insomnia. It's a condition that runs in families where the sufferer is completely unable to sleep, even sedated, until the point where their body inevitably gives out.
@@stephanie4698 Thanks, mate. I vaguely remember hearing about it. It's incredibly rare and sounds, frankly, like a living nightmare. Terrifying doesn't even come close to describing it would be.
@@Fledermausmann I experience frequent insomnia, and I still can't imagine going through it.

I find it amazing that people still use bits for horses when it basically is exactly the same as the bridle shown here...
I am totally impressed, you really know your torture! Let's see five more.
The rupture has happened to a couple of hockey players. Mostly from a frozen puck going over 100 miles an hour... even with a cup. There is a reason why goalies wear 3 cups. They have been speared down there, but haven't heard of a stick rupturing that area.
That is a torture in itself. Shall be called "The Pucking".
For real though when you see a cup get dented from a direct shot to the boys you feel that in your bones
You might want to describe the simplest of all torture devices: The Wheel. Also, consider what was without a doubt the most horrific, although technically not a “device” at all: the Oubliette. There cannot possibly be a worse way to go than the Oubliette.
Scaphism...
Slow impalement is in the running
Genuinely insightful thank you
Every time i watch these videos i imagine myself being the victim...and oh god its terrifying
Hi Doctor!
I subsucribed years ago and wtach some videos where you barely get 10 k views and now I m very happy to see videos with over 100,200 and some with over 1 million views. The power of grinding
the Pear of Anguish has been one that I always find fascinating.
One time, I weighed as heavy as 300+ lbs. which caused me chronic back pain from having the lower vertebrae in my spine grinding on each other from wear and tear from the excessive weight. It made walking extremely painful. I joined Weight Watchers and lost a significant amount of weight. I wasn't at a goal weight just yet, but I was able to walk again.
Man this really made me light-headed. I just prayed to God that I ever had found myself about to be tortured in any of these ways had I lived in these times, I would have found any way at all to off myself first, even jumping off a building seems better than any of these.
14:56 i was sitting through this without cringing and flinching until this point. 18:53 and it didnt gt better lol. Also the Judas Cradle was featured in Dwane Johnson's Hercules film at the start.
I like your videos. Subscribed. Keep up the good worked.
My 11 year old son developed perthes disease. And had to have a distal femoral osteotomy. I knew nothing about hip disorders. I know a fair amount now. I had never heard of that before, he is fine now, he's 15 and absolutely healthy
Nevermind, you covered all the ones I wanted to know about. Thanks.
I watch this mainly because as a writer, I want to know how this kind of thing would really affect a person because we all know that what we see in the movies is likely crap.
Awesome vid dood!
"but hey, what's torture without a little added pazazz?"😂😂
My favourite part right at the end 👍😂
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths to which humans will go to intentional cause horrific pain, just to prove a point.
Thank you for the video doc.
Very informative, now I know what to expect when I'm between a rack and a hard place.
...I'll see myself out for that one.
I haven't heard about the horse (a torture device, not a piece of sports equipment), but considering that even sitting on the vulva on a flat surface (I hated these broken auditorium chairs so much...) hurts pretty bad... I don't want to think about it.
Dr. Raynor, I am a sax player, with issues in neck and spine because of years of hanging saxophones from a neckstrap, could you do a video on long term effects (adverse or not) and what can be done to avoid injury.. I have just swapped from neckstrap to a jazzlabs saxholder which distributes the weight of the horn to the shoulders and with abdominal support, it takes all the strain off the neck (at least so far as i understand) thank you for your videos very much appreciated. Thank you and have a great day
Calling the spike a chair I about exploded in laughter; that is not a chair; it supports nothing but tearing through stuff...
Can confirm that dislocations, ripped ligaments, and damaged joints are torture. I was injured at work, and couldn't feel or move my entire right arm. Turns out I had fractured the collarbone and had a SLAP type 4 tear. Surgeon performed a distal-clavicle resection and repaired the tear. I was still unable to use my arm after a year after surgery, he said it was just in my head. Couldn't even hold a pencil. Saw another surgeon with the help of a lawyer, and he realized I had a winged scapula (on both sides, but right side was severe) from a paralyzed serratus anterior muscle. So, we did specialized physical therapy for about six months, then he took me to surgery. He shaved down the end of my collarbone, cleaned out a bunch of scar tissue, repaired the labrum again, and released the adhesions.
It's been two years since the second surgery and I have about 85% function back in my arm, but I do have a permanent impairment (no lifting/carrying more than 20 lbs, overhead reaches are a struggle, and chronic pain since the shoulder joint no longer connects, so everything is harder). Recovery from a joint surgery is probably the most painful one I've had.
Eyo there. Commented last week on your 50 cal video. Operation was done a few days ago, the plate's in and the wrist seems to be on the mend! Still pretty sore but got some level of movement back in it already that seems to be improving on the daily. Cheers for the reply before!
Glad to hear that it went well.
Great video. What obut upsidedown people slowly splitted in half with a saw. How It is possible not to die or at least get unconscious on first cut? I mean, there are stories telling of people severed till the belly button and more before they die.
Cover the Iron Bed. Something that seems so innocuous but is actually crippling.
Doc Wil
Great Video as always.
Would love to see you look at the "Rolling Rack" iirc it was a Mongolian Torture device where a person was Strapped onto a large wicker or wooden wheel and pushed down a hill or something like that.
Also, I think it would be cool if you could cover if we do or do not use a system like the Rack to help prevent loss of height through aging or just a video on why people lose height as they age and if there is anything to do about it.
Ooooh, those last 2 give me quite the understanding of Vlad the Impaler's method and the bamboo torture.
You should explore the Viking execution known as the Blood Eagle.
Great video doc we need more of these, here some of my suggestions are: iron maiden, guillotine, impalement, sawing, rat cage, thusand cuts, skinned, white torture, scaphism. Also we need you to analyse new garand thumb video regarding tank shell vs human torso to give us some insight what are the chances of surviving that.

I'm glad you like it. My thumbnail editor is awesome!
I don't know where i saw it, but the scene was: guy tied to tree with steel cable around 8mm thick. One end was secured to tree, coiling around him and tree from shoulders, down to just bellow knees where other end continued into truck mounted winch. There was a detail that due to friction, it would start tightening at loop closest to winch first and that was until whole loop was touching tree.
Back when the internet was new I remember a site called banged up. Someone filmed a guy being lowered onto a spike in his butt and then a few minutes later you could see the spike come through by the collar bone. It was public execution.
Hey, what software do you use that shows the bones and stuff?
Why can’t my history teachers be as fun as Chris 😢
I would like to see a breakdown of the torture method known as scaphism. WARNING, do not google that if you have a weak stomach, it makes the rack look like child's play.
crazy how a person looked at another person and thought, "How can I cause you the most amount of pain?" Weird.
How about a series about "How likely is this protagonist to survive and injury" when inficted upon another they just simply die. For example, it seems an NPC just dies after being shot in the torso or simply become totatlly incapacitated while the hero can just ignore the pain and can go on fighting as if they were all just flesh wounds.
Different games give different answers to that. Uncharted just says you're running out of luck, and you still die to one bullet that connects, but your opponent's aren't professionals either, so there's some random chance in whether or not any one shot kills you.
So the next time you hear someone overdramatic screaming "THIS IS TORTURE!!" for no reason you start laughing.. 😂
A dog trainer I had took the new career after "tearing her arm off". She was a heavy equipment driver, was holding onto the 5 ton? bucket when it snapped and dropped. It happened so fast, with such force , she couldn't let go quickly enough and her arm basically was torn off, skin , arteries and some tendons staying mostly attached. She has to carry her arm in a sling as it's pretty much unusable. Yeah, she said it hurt then and still often does.
Playing Amnecia dark decente, got me here, great video, im not sleeping today
I would love to try out each of one of these, so I could truly appreciate what people went through.

I broke me femur in 2017 and the ambulance crew threw a traction splint on my leg to separate the bone. Thankfully the crew hit me with fentanyl so I didn’t notice the ratchet that they used to obtain said separation 😂.
That man thought he was going in for a friendly game of pool when they said "Rack'em".
The fear and betrayal he must have felt after seeing the actual type of table he was being "guided" to.😢
