That orthopedic surgeon is a champ man 15 hour surgery imagine concentrating on something looking at it using your hands standing under hot bright lights trying to save a little girls arms I mean what dedication really think about it.
My sister suffered a similar accident to this 2 years ago but with a metal fence and just the one arm. The spike narrowly missed her neck and chest. She's fully recovered and has a huge scar. I just remember opening the front door to see her covered in blood and crying so hard and going into shock.
Ouch!! This reminds me of an incident that happened to me when I was a little kid in about 1986. I fell onto an old glass gerbil habitat that was kept in a shed outside my parents’ apartment. It shattered and lacerated my arm. It was the only time in my life that I needed stitches. I’ll never forget the pain and the blood!!
Hi Vicki! I've read many of your comments and know you are a wonderful person and professional. My heart goes out to you and I appreciate the work you do. I have many medical conditions resulting in lots of surgery and trips to the ER. But I still enjoy life and I am grateful to EMT's, doctors, nurses, etc. and my family and friends who all make it better for me. Please know I do care. People in the medical field have a special place in my heart. Take Care, Sara
I like how they made the point that using medical transport is important to prep the hospital for the patient's arrival. If you just think you'll drive them there yourself, you're giving up proper emergency care and walking smack into a wall when you get there because they won't know you're coming or what to prepare for.
keep in mind, this was done in the late 80's early 90's they didn't have the extensive computer softwear we do now. I think they did a pretty good job with what they had. There is some segments that make me cringe like when the woodshop worker cuts his wrist off or the kid that runs through the glass door in heart of glass. To top it off the descriptions of the injuries is enough to make me pass out, IE the rollarcoaster injury description. I get the chills just thinking about it.
My sister received two blood transfusions and, to this day, she has no memory of the night it happened. I wish I could say the same. That night is forever in my mind. That's why I had to do this work. It's the only way to turn something negative into something positive.
Vicki Bee the main thing is that your sister is okay and I'm a trained fire fighter and how to stop the bleeding and if you have a belt put it up on the arm and make the belt tight so the person don't lose to much blood trust me it works
A friend of ours had the same thing happen to him, we were running through the house playing hide and go seek, it was a huge house, 6,000sq, a basement and 3 floors. And he happened to run through the kitchen through a sitting area towards the sun room, which had a glass door. Both arms were severely cut. I had never seen so much blood. Thank goodness he is ok now.
99% of emts are awesome. one guy tried to tell me I was having a panic attack, not an asthma attack. Needless to say I turned blue and passed out. Only then did he believe me.
OMG I remember this one terrible when you're a little kid you think it's so real watching it not knowing it's actors so glad the actual girl made a full recovery
She's lucky she didn't cut her face or neck when she fell. After seeing this, I wouldn't try to hang anything over a mirror or window. A few months ago I fell off a makeshift platform while I was making a video, and I hit my garage floor on my side. It took a month for the pain in my back to stop. Thank goodness there wasn't any glass or anything sharp for me to fall on.
That's exactly how it happened with my sister. We were all doing something normal, which was exercises in my case and school work in my mom's. Everything was normal one minute, then she comes upstairs and gets sick. Coughs up a sink full of blood. I felt like the fires of hell had come alive in our house. And I had no idea how to handle what I was seeing.
Shelly was very fortunate. She got top care and good doctors were able to save her arm. Other episodes, were the victim lost their arms or legs, they just didn't get the top care Shelly received and they lost their arms and legs. It all depends on what hospital you go and what doctors work on you.
Something like this happened (although it wasn't quite so serious) to me once when I was nine years old. I still have very visible scars. Plate glass ranks up with asbestos as one of the most dangerous things you can have as part of a building.
@@chisox551 Something similar happened to someone I knew at school. They were playing around with their brother and tripped over a chair. They instinctively put their hands in front of them and ended up falling through a glass door. They severed an artery in their left wrist and were only saved because an ambulance was only 2 and a half minutes away when they called
Oh yeah. In 1993, my sister-in-law's brother put his arm through a window and had to be flown from our small town hospital to a bigger one because he was cut so severely and had lost a lot of blood.
You know, I am sure Shelly found ways to strengthen the muscles in her arms like maybe sports such as golf, softball or maybe basketball. Also, maybe she took up a musical instrument such as the guitar or piano since they would also work to strengthen her arm muscles.
Wow...Shelly nearly having an arm cut off reminds me of a similar incident that befell my father while he was dating my mother...or before they were married.
This is the same thing that happened to my neighbors neiece. She was playing around with her cousin in the house and her cousin slammed the door and the glass shattered everywhere. The veins were hanging from her arms and blood was squirting everywhere. It happened the same year when this episode came out in 1991.
Fifteen hours of microsurgery? That would mean if they started operating at two o'clock in the morning, they wouldn't be done until five o'clock in the evening.
She likely severed her brachial artery. That's why windows and sliding glass doors should be safety glass, as it doesn't shatter as much. Glass shards are like razorblades.
I'm an EMT and I've got to say the worst thing about calls like this is cleaning out your unit after the call. We're talking mop & bucket time, sometimes you have to take the mop to the celling too...Nasty!
Glass injuries aren't welcome visitors to the bodies of people at any age. This was a similar situation to Nicky getting cut in the chest from a drinking glass.
I sort of remember what you are describing..I think the kids are playing tag. And one of the boys accidently pushes one of the other boys though a glass door, and his arms are covered in blood..it's pretty nasty.
I think her mistake was telling a family member the patient's "going to be all right" when strictly speaking she doesn't KNOW that. What would have happened if she had died? That last statement would have stayed with the family member forever. I know this for a fact b/c I was family member of a Trauma 1 patient before I ever became a Paramedic. I would have hated the dispatcher who told me she was going to be all right if my sister had died that night.
Vicki Bee They have to calm you down though because panicking will result in death or leaving the victim in a more serious condition The calmer you are the more information you can give and receive, meaning they can do more to help save the persons life
Are you or have you ever been on the other side of the radio? I have. And the thing is, when you're talking to a hysterical family member, you'll tell the ANYTHING to calm them down. as a medic you should know how difficult as it is to deal with a hysterical person face to face. Think about if you had to do that without ever seeing or physical interacting with them.
Freak accidents like this are the reason why EVERYONE should know how to improvise a tourniquet, and properly apply it to a limb. There are PLENTY of tourniquet improvisation videos on TH-cam that will teach you this critical component of controlling major blood loss. When seconds matter, having this knowledge in your back pocket can literally be the difference between life and death. I cannot stress the importance of this fact enough.
I am surprised that she didn't lose her arm from that, my prayers for her. That is why you always ask for help and also climb up with something is stable not unstable
There are several episodes in the series that this happened. Please everyone GET RID of that old glass and install shatterproof glass if you don't have it already. The cost will be minimal and the benefits of safety may save a life.. My house was built in 1952 and the previous owner had installed shatterproof glass windows before I bought it.
Find the right equipment including a small step ladder and make sure it's stable before you climb up safe without falling down or ended up just like what the hell happened to Shelley
I have a horrible scar from my arm going through a window i didn't even feel it .my grandparents called 911 and my grandfather went to my moms job told her not to worry but i had an accident and the ambulance was with me .of course she panicked and ran home .when they stitched me up they had put a numbing shot in it causing it to bleed more mom cussed at them thankfully i didn't actually cut through any viens i can't imagine how bad this was.this happen to me at 14 and it still a very bad scar at 44.
emt's are close to being paramedics but emts aren't able to administer certian drugs or use defibulators. aeds are diffrent from the regular difibulators on rigs.
this is just like the one when the two boys are home alone and they are having a pillow fight on the bed and one boy accidently pushes the other boy through the window and the boy has a huge gash in his arm this is just like that one but there is only one person and there was no pillow fight(lol)
Exitabc. I'm an EMT myself... And you dunno how frustrating it is to get information to sit there and listen to people scream at you... when you dunno where to dispatch the ambulance to... or anything...
Maybe if Shelly had asked her grandmother or grandfather to help keep the stool in balance so she could put the picture on the wall, nothing would have happened.
Most of u people have no clue what a dispatcher's protocol is, so why do you talk? They're supposed to ask to make double-sure and that they have a solid answer of yes or no. And you can thank lawyers for that. They make everything so literal it's not even funny.
I never called 911 for this kind of stuff and I wasn't taught anything in this. So how in the hell would I know? That's why I was asking. When you don't know stuff, you ask. DUH.
I know what you mean, when I was 16 my dad had a massive heart attack. He was getting ready in the bathroom and I heard a thud. The lady on 911 expected me to pick him up which was impossible. The hospital was less than a block and a half away and yet it took them 12 minutes for them to get to our house. He didn't make it. Its been nearly 10 years and I still have nightmares about it.
I don't Blame Shelly for moving out of her Dad and Mom's home and moving in with her Grandma and Grandpa I bet Shelly's Mom was treating Shelly like Crap.
Yikes, i had an escooter accident and i remember when i saw my elbow and could see deep into it, that it wasn't a simple oh just put a band aid on. I thought i had a concussion or worse, but my helmet took the blunt force trauma that my head didn't get, and having my arms out saved my face from shattering my face. It is painful having a deep cut, i used some gloves i had in my pocket and ripped the fingers off and used a pen to make a makeshift tourniquet as my arm was pretty bad. I used my scooter while in horrible pain i felt my arms were broken. I made it to the hospital in a storm, the dr was amazed that i made a makeshift tourniquet 😅 and a wet nap from a montanas to hold the bleeding. 😅 its scary the fact all i had was a deep gash on my elbow and scrapes no broken bones just some tendon issues, take it easy out there! Freak accidents do happen but this show taught me to keep calm and to control the bleeding. 😅 it also saved my friends life when i did chest compressions after my friend had a seizure after their friends left them alone, i stayed and made sure they were okay, if i didn't do chest compressions they would have passed away that day, or died from falling into a corner of the bed frame, i was able to push him aside to avoid that. My friend since then is doing better and is thriving and still feels they can't repay me, after saving their life. Thank you rescue 911
That scared the hell out of me too, Lium, but nothing tops Rescue 9-1-1 Toddler Glass Save. I am so glad Shelly is okay now, and I pray she has regained full use of her arms. Watch the show I mentioned above. That little girl was cut so badly that her intestines were hanging out. She had an angel with her that day.
This is the edited version of the story. The uncut one is about two minutes longer and is a little more intense (in my opinion): th-cam.com/video/W44WWK7yfCQ/w-d-xo.html
The nurse pushing the chair towards the doc and he just sits in it as it rolls up was a nice touch.
That orthopedic surgeon is a champ man 15 hour surgery imagine concentrating on something looking at it using your hands standing under hot bright lights trying to save a little girls arms I mean what dedication really think about it.
It's always great to see families come back together, it's just tragic that it takes a tragedy for that to happen..

"People think they're lucky to win the lottery. I'm lucky to have my life."
That quote from Shelly is the quote of the segment if you ask me!

I remember this episode... I was quite young at the time... I will never forget it..
God was with Shelly that day. She is so blessed to be alive, and I hope she regained total use of both arms.

oh my god I couldn't even watch this one right here at age 25. I could never have watched this as a kid. I'm really glad she's okay.

don’t worry about happy tree friends, It’s kind of similar to itchy and scratchy in the Simpsons
It's been 28 years since this happened so Shelly is 43 now. Thank goodness she's all right.
This happened on a Tuesday, as Shelly's grandfather says in the video, and six days before I was born.
Now Shelley is married

Nick Wells Or maybe therapy. There is hand therapy!! My best friend Mandi is an Occupational Therapist, who does Hand Therapy!!
What do you find inappropriate? I've watched a bunch since I was 5 or 6 years old and never found any of them inappropriate in any way.
Some people can't handle all of the blood so they give warnings
I'm happy to you too..God bless you and your twin brother!
Praise God she made it takes a tragedy to bring family members together again.
Wow...Shelly nearly having an arm cut off reminds me of a similar incident that befell my father while he was dating my mother...or before they were married.
They use veins from the legs to replace diseased arteries in the heart, so yes they can handle it fine. (coronary artery bypass graft,"CABG")
Holy shit my name is Shelley! I am glad she made it through this shit. This accident will make this beautiful young lady stronger.
I know this was pretty intense, but that chair moving perfectly underneath that surgeon after being pushed is epic (6:34 time stamp )
I wish the stool was more sturdy, that way she wouldn't have fallen. Poor girl.

kind of makes me want to know my parents better... my mom and i get in fights to, but you never know.

I sort of remember what you are describing..I think the kids are playing tag. And one of the boys accidently pushes one of the other boys though a glass door, and his arms are covered in blood..it's pretty nasty.
He is fine now and doing great, he had surgery to keep the scars to a minimum
I'm glad she's okay
I once punched a window at age 6, and it cut my wrist. I got a bad scar as a result, but it's gone now.

The accident happened on the day that the

No they shouldn't have. NEVER WASTE TIME WHEN SOMEONE'S BLEEDING.
I was seven and in first grade when this happened and my brother Andrew was five and in his last year of preschool.

At the time this happened, my family and I were living in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

emt's are close to being paramedics but emts aren't able to administer certian drugs or use defibulators. aeds are diffrent from the regular difibulators on rigs.
This is why i can never be a doctor. Way too much pressure.
I really! Feel like it's miracle that she survived that accident
Can the vein they used in artery reconstruction handle the high pressure at such close proximity to the heart?
1RadicalOne yes. It’s the same concept as a CABG or Coronary arterial bypass graft.
this is just like the one when the two boys are home alone and they are having a pillow fight on the bed and one boy accidently pushes the other boy through the window and the boy has a huge gash in his arm this is just like that one but there is only one person and there was no pillow fight(lol)
This comment is older than most fortnite players
anyone notice the irony in all of this?...The person who helped her is Doctor Hacky...
That is sort-of ironic because the ER doctor who tended to the little girl who fell through the sliding door and cut her back was named Dr. Gushy.
you came in the middle, it might help to go back and read what was originally.
Shelly doing alright hope she doesn't stand on anymore chairs.
When I saw Shelly fall through the window, I was terrified. We hear this happened on a Tuesday. This happened one week before Halloween.
This also happened six days before I was born.
Me too. Glad she survived, though.

"Car Surfing Girl" from Episode 603
Ironic? Parents car arrives quicker than ambulance.
How about factor in the fact that her mother house may of been closer so her getting to her child at the same time isn't really that shocking
The parents were not coming from the same location.
Maybe if Shelly had asked her grandmother or grandfather to help keep the stool in balance so she could put the picture on the wall, nothing would have happened.
I pray she and her mom are getting along better.
If she wasn't conscious, would she be screaming still after asking if it was her screaming?
Most of u people have no clue what a dispatcher's protocol is, so why do you talk?
They're supposed to ask to make double-sure and that they have a solid answer of yes or no. And you can thank lawyers for that. They make everything so literal it's not even funny.
I never called 911 for this kind of stuff and I wasn't taught anything in this. So how in the hell would I know? That's why I was asking. When you don't know stuff, you ask. DUH.
I was thinking the same thing, but they probably have a list of questions to ask and she probably did not think of that.
Believe it or not, people can scream when they're unconscious.
I do, but it has a big chunk missing out of the middle.
I know what you mean, when I was 16 my dad had a massive heart attack. He was getting ready in the bathroom and I heard a thud. The lady on 911 expected me to pick him up which was impossible. The hospital was less than a block and a half away and yet it took them 12 minutes for them to get to our house. He didn't make it. Its been nearly 10 years and I still have nightmares about it.
It is good to see her well
@wiiplayer9isback Also...NEVER use a weak stool in front of a glass window!
and guessing another case from those years where the window was not safety glass
Actualy I don't think they were fighting with pillows-I think they were jumping on the bed!
@wiiplayer9isback I once fell off a weak chair in the kitchen at age 7...but I luckily was not near glass, I just fractured my arm.
darn! that hurts. i already make a fuss with a simple cut, whats more with that deep. i would definitely ask for anesthesia
I am so sorry!! That is horrible!!
Ouch! That had to hurt!
We Apologise For Any Inconvenience this has Caused Shelly's Family
Never hang stuff near a window especially on a stool 2 stories high
I don't Blame Shelly for moving out of her Dad and Mom's home and moving in with her Grandma and Grandpa I bet Shelly's Mom was treating Shelly like Crap.
I don't think that was the case. It could have just been some issues. As said, she did move back in with her mother.
thank the Christ that she made it out alive back then
The screws in the chair were loose that's what cause Shelley fall through the glass.
Yikes, i had an escooter accident and i remember when i saw my elbow and could see deep into it, that it wasn't a simple oh just put a band aid on.

My friend since then is doing better and is thriving and still feels they can't repay me, after saving their life. Thank you rescue 911
This is the scariest injury I’ve ever seen.

@wiiplayer9isback 69 thumbs up.. I think the moral of the story is, don't use a stool at all. Use a stepladder. ;)
The stool wasn't strong enough, she should have used a step ladder.
