I’m sorry, but imagine going into the ER and hearing “Dr. Slaughter will be right with you”
Crying 😭😭😭
I've been in the er and had a Dr. Slaughter.... I asked if I should be concerned (jokingly might I add). Wasn't this Dr tho
I would laugh, hopefully not having a rib injury or something. lol
I once had a doctor butcher lol
Reminds me of an anesthesiologist I had for a surgery, Dr, Payne.
Him: "Hey I'm dr. Slaughter, I'll be taking care of you alright"
Patient: "Doctor WHAT"
😂😂😂
In the military one of my doctors was Major Payne. He didn’t help one but ironically.
My doctor's name for a couple years was Dr. Voorhees, didn't think much of it until I told a few people his name and they always looked absolutely shocked and made the "yikes" face 😅
My wife graduated veterinary school with a Dr. Butcher.
@@Tesserex bruh 💀
I love how enthusiastic and flamboyant he is about his job! Wasn't expecting such energy when talking about injuries!
I'm here because of his face in the pic
My cousin is an ER nurse and she gets all excited about injuries, including broken bones. The good thing is that those are usually pretty fixable and people will eventually go back to normal.
@@horustrismegistus1017 - Even my junk tickled a bit and I'm straight as an arrow
Well I’m an ER nurse with ADHD, and I’ve learned the correlation between ADHD and emergency medicine is real😂 There are higher rates of ADHD in ER doctors, nurses, EMT’s, police officers, fire and rescue personnel etc. Not diagnosing Dr Slaughter here but 👀
@@charlie5115 that's pretty interesting, thanks for sharing the info!
He is definitely one of those doctors that lowers anxiety when you are terrified in the ER. I would love to have him as my doctor in an emergency!
... one of those doctors who* lower* anxiety ... (they are people and there are multiple)
that's until he tells you his last name. then anxiety turns to terror!!!
He's giving me anxiety
I was just gonna say that. He seems like a really nice guy who would walk through all the things that are happening
Are you kidding? He's too high strung. He would give me a panic attack just with his high energy
"I mean, the most serious injuries are when the patient comes in dead." You gotta have humor in a job like this. Respect.
I got the opportunity to chat with a medevac team once, and they shared with us the most serious injury they had to deal with. The guy wasn't dead when they got there, but he was by the time they left. I'll just say that farm injuries can be especially gruesome.
At that point Jesus becomes your doctor🤣🤣🤣
That one killed me.
Caitlyn Doughty of Ask A Mortician has this great quote, "If they sneeze, it's not a corpse" LOL love these
Dead IS pretty serious. 😬🤷🏻♀️
Dr. Slaughter sounds like a cool supervillain name.
Or a WWE wrestler
@@hucz * YOU don't need more superhero/villain content. you don't speak for other people.
I wonder if his patients are intimidated by his name at first.
@@emmel4fun I know I certainly would be 🤣
Of be a bit concerned if I showed up to the emergency room and they were like “you will be seen by Dr. Slaughter shortly”
Buddy puts the laughter in Slaughter, I would love to have a doctor like him.
If only English was consistent ... lol
@@MacNerferimagine pronouncing laughter like slaughter? Or pronouncing slaughter like laughter?
@@MacNerferlauter vs slafter
He honestly needs a shirt with that 😂
@@jasonvargas7564 Good one. Yet, "imagine .." is an imperative and not a question, so an exclamation point and not a question mark would be appropriate to end your sentences.
you can tell when somebody really loves their career choice. We need a part 2
Yes, I love Dr. Slaughter and the mortician Victory Sweeney that they have on.
I was curious and googled him... before being a doctor he was an actor and singer. He was in shows and movies and toured with Jessica Simpson and Destiny's Child. It's like Ken Jeong, but backwards.
Pfft they should do a video together👏
Well no wonder
That explains his heavily expressive face
He was in ER
@@Genny-Zee my god yes indeed!
“He was D-E-A-D, dead” this guy is absolutely hilarious. His bedside manner no doubt helps a lot of tense situations in the ER!
If I get bonked by a train, this is how I want my doctors to talk abt me while standing over my squished up corpse
This part was hilarious 🤣
Classic would be "D-E-D, dead!"
He’s being vague enough to not identify actual patients, but I can’t help but wonder if someone he’s talking about randomly discovers this video. 😂
@@k.k.7797 bonked by a train is such a lovely way of putting it. I laughed too hard 😂
How he has that much energy when he works in the ER is mind-boggling. I want what he's having.
As an ER nurse with ADHD.. I think it’s that 😂
@@charlie5115 😂
@@charlie5115 ADHD in the ER ? Man and I thought I had it rough with my adhd
Its kind of a stereotype that ER docs all have ADHD. Something about doing well multitasking.
@@willscanlon9843 ADHD is the opposite of multitasking though
As an ex-emergency nurse, I so appreciated your description of orthopaedic surgery although you were perhaps slightly more professional in your admiration for their skill than most ER clinicians I know would be... "What is the best thing about having a cardiac arrest in an orthopaedic unit? You're close to a hospital" 🙂
Really enjoyed this vid and excellent info provided!
Whoever in Wired is in charge of screening these experts to make sure they are entertaining... THANK YOU.
YES!!
*sings Guess how fatal it issssss. A 100%! *sings ....lmao (rabies)
We need to know how they did it! Behind the scenes video, maybeee?
For real, they always find the most charismatic experts for this videos, it's great!
You should follow him on tiktok
I’ve worked with this doctor, he’s hands down one of the most caring doctors out there. He should be the standard for attitude in doctors.
Great to hear!
Hilarious then that his last name is Slaughter 😆
Was it scary to hear that Dr. Slaughter would be seeing you?
@@joost00555 I’m sure it was for his patients, I worked with him as in both employees! I always thought his name was hilarious though.
He can be as caring as he wants, but if he talks that way all the time I would want another doctor, bec his way of talking is very annoying.
A girl I went to high school with was a main player on the state volleyball team, she was being talked to by colleges as a freshmen. Eventually, she had so many concussions/brain damage that she had to take months off school. She forgot everything as far as her long term memory, and short term was affected as well. She’s doing ok years later I think, but she was an honors student and it was much harder for her after the concussions.
As someone who's chronically ill and in/out of the hospital and ER very frequently, I would want this guy as my Dr every time
Besides the incredible medical knowledge he has, I'm sure Dr. Slaughter would SLAY some medical dad jokes.
and at doing Brendan Fraser impersonations
"How did these heal before modern surgery." As an archaeologist it's amazing the level of partially healed trauma on bones that people just had to live with. Injuries like those are a big reason we know that past societies often did take care of disabled members of the community past their ability to do physical labour.
I read in a post that survival of a person with broken femur was the first sign of civilization or something.
Because technically, they were easier prey and should/would have died given the type of injury they had.
But they survived because they were taken care of by their community.
Is this true?
My favorite is knife arm guy. Or shanidar 1.
@@khushbooprasad6519 i saw that same post float around. far as i understood, it was an alternative suggestion that focused on a more social aspect fo the concept of the civilisation of humanity than the more common mark of agriculture.
A book called "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" talked about this. I'd recommend you (whoever interested) this book if you haven't already read it.
@@AutumnBBBE I read that for college this past semester! I didn't read it all because I lost motivation in the class (I got a B tho, somehow). This year I'm definitely gonna read the rest
Dr. Slaughter should definitely become a professor later in his career, this video was taught so well and entertaining. Explained complex topics in an easy-to-understand and fun way, love it.
I’m glad so many of these people are nice enough to ask questions for their friends. That’s true friendship right there
As a pharmacist myself- You should do “ask a pharmacist, drug help”! So many people don’t realize what pharmacists do (way more than just put pills in a bottle) and don’t even realize the constant access they have to a medical professional like a pharmacist! :) and there is so much misinformation about medicine out there!
I would love a video like this! I find all careers in the medical field interesting, but I’ve never heard a lot of people talking about pharmacy despite the fact that medicine is SO important!
As a CPhT III, I agree!! I'm in a hospital setting my whole career though, and I love it. Pharmacists are the best!
yes please!
I gained a whole new respect for pharmacists when I was an ED nurse. So freaking helpful to have our ED pharmacist on hand!
Yess please, in these days it is not normal to know 5 languages but not to know that it isn't necessary to take antibiotics for a flu
I just googled this guy and apparently he was on TV and a boy band as a teenager. What an interesting life.
I mean the hair alone gave the latter away
@@MyTeaIsMighty and the enthusiasm
This guy would have made a great addition to Grey's Anatomy. 🤣 Love his energy!
I was thinking House MD
Hunt would HATE him
That's the first thing that came to my mind as well😂
His parents missed the boat by not naming him Max. Can you imagine a Dr. Max Slaughter, especially with his personality. He would immediately be the best doctor at whatever he specialized in.
6:25 "You probably couldn't walk again if you were in a car accident in the 1500s" I spat my beer out laughing
I want to hear this man talk about the most gruesome and weird things about a hospital for at least 3 hours, no less.
most gruesome...you cant see....its the GERMS... YUCK
He's good, the way he tries not to laugh and remain serious because he's talking to normies about hotrific injuries is astonishing.
My dad has been an EMT for about 20 years and the stories about emergency medicine are crazy. My favorite is hearing about traction splints for when someones bone is overlapping itself.
i love this guy. he communicates brilliantly, is a level with his patient i. e. respects them, and knows his stuff. some people are very lucky. :)
"The most serious injuries are where the patient comes in dead"
I feel so bad for laughing at this but he's so right
Don't worry you're not alone I was dying as well 😂
He has really excellent non-verbal communication too, which makes sense given his background in pop music and theater before he was a doctor.
@@ryans6280that sounds serious!
as an ER nurse, i absolutely adore this guy. he is one of the best parts of working in the Emergency Department, healthcare professionals that truly do love their job and love caring for others. He has the BEST personality, his energy and positivity is infectious! 🥰❤️
this dude is such a goof i love him
One of the best docs at explaining. If he isn't already, he should def be a professor.
My friend's husband is an ER doctor and talking to him, I just gotta say: I am _so_ glad there are people in the world who can not only handle but thrive in an environment of saving lives like this. I could never.
I’m and ED nurse and I’m just in my element in the ED but it’s certainly not for everyone, it’s usually chaos and you can never plan anything you want to do with your patients
is that a warcraft 3 reference?
@Ochelvegstz Nyotmek r/wooosh
i was referring to his channel which is mostly warcraft 3 content
Wired, do you purposefully find Doctors with scary names to answer these questions? lol. He did a great job!
Graphic content warning :
My little brother got his foot run over when he was 3. It was only holding on my the Achilles tendon and the skin in the back. They were able to reattach everything with many many surgeries. He has had to have the growth plate fusion in the opposite leg so they didn't end up different lengths. He was not able to point his toes afterwards. He had foot drop so they had to fix it in an almost permanent position. I remember he had to wear a brace forever when he was a kid. He is 46 and it got to the point he was always in so much pain because of the complications. Just last year he found a doctor that was able to actually do an ankle replacement with a 3d printed ankle. Amazing where our medical technology has gotten to.
8:55 this guy is like the funny and smart but a bit dorky kid who went to med school and 20 years later still has his old personality, I love it
When I dislocated my shoulder, I literally had trouble thinking of my name to tell the EMTs. Trying to find any answer was like pushing through a wall of fog. Unbelievable pain.
it seriously is the most agonizing pain i’ve ever been in. happened twice to me in the ocean within 365 days. i have to have surgery for my shoulder now :(
@@samnejberger5546 hope it goes well
@@samnejberger5546 did it go well?
@@samnejberger5546rip 🗿
@@Mario_nicholas it did!! i am recovering well. thanks for the wishes fellas
You guys need to make this Doctor a regular! Seriously he's hilarious and makes everything simplified and lovely to absorb
What a great human and Dr. - the field and patients you encounter are better off because of you! Thank you
I love his energy and sense of humour. Great guy!
Ok now I want all doctors to be this goofy...! Funny, humorous doctors are the best ones to get, especially in the ER!
Just like Sénior Chang, Ken Jeong
Just starts singing as the patient is losing blood
this dude sorta makes me uncormfortable, hes hamming it up too much for my liking. I just want my doctor to over explain their process to me honestly.
With that name I’d be kind of scared but he seems really passionate about his field so I’d trust him 😅
I know I thought what a last name. To be a doctor.
@@kylerogerspowers2935 It would be like a dentist called Dr. Payne. 😱
@@emmel4fun Dr. Pliers Mcgumstabby
Id love to have him next to me as a doctor if I rolled into the ER, he’s seems like he would try to keep the patient non stressed while also doing his job properly
Wish there were more doctors like him in the ER. I've had so many bad experiences
What a name for a doctor
Lol exactly
Dr. Slaughter
Oh my goodness, this guy.
Please stay alive forever. The world needs you.
He is so great and hilarious!! It was a pleasure to see this video, very informative and also funny.
You can see he adores his job.
If he has a channel I would love to follow him.
Thank you WIRED for always choosing these great people.
I’m a lifeguard, and a couple weeks ago our local EMTs and Paramedics came out to go over what happens when they show up (and they wanted to learn water extrication). We all loved the bone drill.
So happy he said the AED message so clearly! It's so important for everyone to know they have ability and right to ask for and utilize one in any emergency. They have them in and around many public spaces.
I learned something new today.
Its also important for people to know that they have prerecorded spoken instructions to tell you exactly what to do so you’re not just muddling around with this weird little thing
Yes, there is an app that lets you locate one near you. That said, how long would it take to get there and back?! Better to call 911 in most cases
@@sophiesmith5922 you should call the paramedics first before seeking one out. in a good amount of cases, the paramedics will inform you of where the nearest one is and tell you to use it. like cpr, it buys a good amount of time while you wait for the paramedics to arrive and has saved a solid number of lives.
Just gotta say, an AED won't restart a stopped heart. Only CPR will do that.
His name reminds me of an old GP in my hometown, Dr. Gore. I’ve lived in and out of the hospital for long enough now to really appreciate meeting professionals with ironic names, personally 😅
Dr. Gore, 😄😂
When my kids were younger at our immediate care clinic we ended up at many times Dr white was black, Dr black was white and Dr Lopez was Dr Lopez. No joke. Each was great but Lopez was my favorite: he’d say oh you’re here again? lol
His excitement is so infectious! Thank you for this interview Dr. Mack and Wired!
I seriously learned sooooooo much. This guy is amazing!! Major props, Doc! 👏👏👏👏
He's right about the ortho surgeries not being gentle, I watched a hip replacement and they were using a hammer and just bashing the bone 😂 it was very intense
Watching them relocate a dislocated hip is wild, there were just 3 hunked up men YANKING on this womans leg with all their weight and little old me the xray lass like 😰
@@katierasburn9571 yes!! It's a wild time
Watch a supraacetabular or periacetabular osteotomy.
I had two.
I am confident that they were probably 11/10 painful for most people, BUT I woke up during the first one and was convinced I had an ovarian cyst because the epidural shifted... so I only felt the top part of my hip...
Sooo yeah, ovarian cysts are um... "painful as having a saw take the top of your hip socket out of your pelvis"
To be clear: I had to electrocute my adductors to repair a CRUSH INJURY to a rather important nerve. For many months. I've had ischemic injuries. He's wrong. Shocking damaged nerves back to life while the voltage puts your inner thigh and groin into full spasm takes the cake in that comparison. But there's so much worse pain than that 😉
Knee surgery too... Violent AF
Okay I was having fun all along this video but the line "the most serious injuries are the ones where the patient come in dead" completely cracked me. That line made me laugh much more than what is appropriate considering the topic
That's when that gorgeous mortician makes a cameo...
This was an excellent video. It was funny, authentic, educational, & you can tell this man loves what he does & is GOOD at it. Thanks for such a great episode!
This guy is a blast, so funny and energetic ! Please make him come back !
Dr Slaughter, even though his name sounds perfect for a supervillain, ends up being one of the most entertaining people I've seen here, please, please, PLEASE gib him a second and a third, and a forth, and [....] part, we need more of him!
I just know he's a good doctor..the way he's interacting with the watchers is the way you'd actually want a doctor to speak with you and he's also providing all the details concisely what the patients need to hear and precisely but in a fun way. I like him:)
we need more of this guy! hes amazing!!!
Woooow this guy is awesome!! He legit makes me consider being an ER Doctor, I wonder how many lives he saves every year. Seems like a very tough but rewarding career
WIRED never fails to give us the most passionate and interesting experts^^
Yea, at times in the video he was excited about harms to humans, so I guess you're totally right.
You guys should get an economist for this type of thing next. I had an amazing economics teacher in college when I thought it would be the most boring thing ever. I'm sure it would be just as fun seeing someone talk about economics on here. And with the way things are now, it might be a relevant subject!
Oooooo yes please!!!!
It's actually pretty crazy how dangerous rabies is. I feel like people know about it but they don't know how it can literally kill you if you don't find out you have it and treat it! A good reminder in this video to get an animal bite treated always!
Plus, some animal bites need specific antibiotics and follow-up.
You just reminded me of that wonderful time, when I dislocated my leg (no, not my knee). The doctor actually lay down on me to push it back. It hurt a lot worse than broken ribs.
And then she told me I wasn't allowed to do pole fitness anymore :(
God, I can't but tear up when I listen to professionals talking about their jobs. Idk, it's a mix of amazement, respect, gratefulness, and more - all this feelings of being happy such people exist.
i recently fell 35 feet through a roof and shattered my elbow doctors like this guy made my experience so much better
👀
just your elbow?
as a writer a lot of these things are actually very useful! love the way this dude explains things x
Answered my question about stitches! I'm getting ready to have elbow surgery soon and Doc mentioned that he will have to remove the stitches and wondered by not the dissoluble type - now I know the answer to that question. Thanks!
This doctor has amazing sense of humor. His speech is clear and actually nice to listen to
He has SUCH strong emergency medicine energy and I love it!
As an ER nurse with ADHD.. My radar’s going off here 👀😂
Such an awesome doctor you picked here to answer these questions. I hope you bring him back for a part 2 and a part 3.
Omg I almost passed out with his explanation of the femur thing.. That must be an extremely painful recovery
Same. I was seeing that in my head and I cant imagine how this exists 😂
Coolest doctor I've ever seen. He's got bedside manner for days. Cool dude! Thanks doc!
8:54
"I mean the most serious injuries are the ones where the patient comes in dead."
I love that answer and had a good laugh xD
We NEED another episode with Dr. Slaughter 😍😍
As someone with EDS; waiting to see a doctor for every dislocation.. I'd live in the ER room!
Lmao, I was gonna comment something about my EDS!! Still might, tbh, because OMG, his remark made me laugh out loud.
I knew his face looked familiar!! He was in a couple kids shows back in the day. This was so cool and interesting. He has a really great personality, so I'm sure he has wonderful bedside manner. Made a whole video about the most heinous injuries sound enjoyable. 😂😂
We are "hyper extenders" in many joints, we can confirm with experience;
*If you dislocate your shoulder, it is instantly the most blinding and confirming pain you will ever feel rocketing through your entire upper body.*
Sincerely,
Chronic Dislocation
this man is so animated and just straight up captivating to watch. good on you for finding him Wired
This doc's energy is phenomenal.
2:46 is absolutely true, about a year ago I suffered a traumatic dislocation to my right shoulder (for context, my humerus was so far out of position it was touching against my ribcage) and it was by far and away the most painful thing I've ever experienced, all you can focus on is the absolutely agony of every nerve in the region being violently shoved and stretched by the dislocation. Be careful going down the stairs folks!
The warm flood after it is put back in place... 🤤
Never did a shoulder, but did dislocate a knee 10 or so times before having surgery to fix it.
I'm so curious that imma ask, have you ever had a broken bone? if so, which and how does the pain relate?
@@elpoulpo5563 I would say the intensity of a dislocation pain is much higher than breaking a bone, especially if its a bone that you can choose to not put weight on. But if you learn how to pop back your shoulder, then its a short term high intensity pain.
I dislocated my shoulder (my 34th dislocation) this January when I couldn't pop it back in and the ED took about 1.5 hours to put me under and put it back in. By the end of it, I was almost blabbering and going in and out of consciousness.
@@elpoulpo5563 I have, I've fractured my elbow twice. and the pain is nowhere near as intense as a dislocation. The only kind of break that would match it would be a compound fracture which is about as bad as it gets
@@soumyachatterjee1849 Just curious , do you have EDS?
The ability to find experts so passionate in their field and ready to teach so enthusiastically is greatly appreciated! I love these videos!
He would make a great professor, he's very engaging and explains things in an easy to understand manner, not to mention the little fun facts thrown in to keep you interested!
I love this Doctors personality 😊
This is EXACTLY how I imagined an ER doctor named "Slaughter" would be like. Not disappointed.
I am absolutely in love with Doc Slaughters energy and mannerisms. Wish my doctor was as chill and passionate as he obviously is.
5:37 Exactly! I saw my mom's surgery. She had broken one of her legs. They literally used drilling machines to fit the bone implants. God earlier I never had even imagined it.
I need to see this dude every day, what a joyful person!
I want this dude just to be my regular doctor. He's awesome
Next level energy and charisma
10/10 would watch more
This was a very enjoyable and informative video. Thank you:)
High schooler at heart, doctor by profession. Love this guy!
i love his enthusiasm when he's telling you how gruesome your injuries are
Doctor with last name Slaughter...destiny! -haha
"Guess how fatal it is~~?!"
"100%"
LoL.
He exudes an entertainer soul with intellectual mind. And he's animated and seem like a personable doctor I've ever seen. I kept smiling seeing him so animated...very entertaining & educational.
reminds me of a hand surgeon my mom knows. his name is dr groper lol
He was an actor and singer before this,he's so animated it's amazing
@@bogwife7942 😂
This guy is the best! Excellent explanations
This doc has great energy!!
I love this doc, he manages to talk about such horrific injuries in such a clear and hysterical way.
You can have a dislocation without knowing it.
I found out a few months ago that my shoulder has been dislocated for probably years.
Months later after extensive physical therapy, it's nearly back to normal.
My only clue was that it was difficult to pull my shirt off over my head.
OMG 😨
the right amount of humour and information to make absorbing information fun (and memorable)
Love this guy's energy.
