7:09 I had a surgery in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language aside from basic things, and nurses kept asking me stuff and I had to keep telling the nurses things before and after my surgery. After clearly noticing a couple of nurses and I couldn’t understand each other, woman in the bed behind the curtain next to me stood up, walked over, opened my curtain holding her IV and everything and stood there and translated my quite embarrassing issues 😂😂 I still laugh when I think about it. Post-surgery she would yell over the curtain to translate still whenever a nurse came haha. She must have been super bored and wanted to show off her English skills, very thankful for her.
Dr. Mike since you are obsessed with chest compressions 😂 I think it would be a great idea to do a video on how to do chest compressions for those of us who don't know
Just Me realistically in an adult about 3in or so is the proper depth of compressions, but if you’re doing for correctly, you’re going to crack ribs. I’m not saying they’re going to shatter like shrapnel in his thoracic cavity, but you’ll definitely feel some give
Irish_ Soldier124 I have actually been trained in CPR and this isn’t completely true. You should feel give but it is the muscles connected to the bone in front of the heart. Ribs crack often but ideally if you do it perfect they won’t

I have seen many doctors in my life due to a condition that has now been diagnosed but for years I was sick and in pain and so many doctors just guessed what is wrong instead of just saying I don't know and refering me to someone who might
I am a retired RN, worked 10 yrs at level 1 trauma center ER (1980-1990). We cracked a chest (thoracotomy) at least once or twice a week. They were all due to trauma, GSW, impaled object, stabbing, etc. Ahh, the good old days. Best part was having a patient return to visit us after their recovery.
When I heard you say "I've never heard of a thoracotomy done in ER", I flashed back to my ER days on code team and a doc decided the trauma victims only chance was direct massage. He opened up, pointed to me to glove up and do massage. I was just the nursing attendant. It didn't have the desired outcome, we couldn't push appropriate fluids fast enough to maintain any kind of perfusion. This had nothing to do with it, but I went to the dark side not too many years afterward - IT instead of medical, though I have switched back and forth a couple of times over the years.
A family practitioner saved my life in 2010! She caught a brain bleed from a hemangioma in my left parietal when no other doctor would give me the time of day! The office also shopped around for the cheapest MRI location as I had no insurance. Ive had some really bad doctors since, but I remember her fondly as the one who believed me and went above and beyond! She even told me what emergency room to rush to when my MRI results came back. I pray she is doing well.♡ I hope she knows how blessed I am because of her.
Then you should look for her and thank her personally. Not on youtube. Edit: Make your gratitude produce effort to find her. Thanking her on youtube on a random video is the slightest effort you could've done.
@@dwoktheraynejonsohn4849 You're right, I guess that I put too much expectation on her. Remembering that favor and having gratitude in her heart is enough.
I went into septic shock once. One of the most frightening moments of my life is when an ER nurse said "We can't get her blood pressure up". They gave me lots of fluids and vasopressors. Very scary :O
"Oh, cool. It's Dr. Mike taking care of me. Someone let my daughter know I've got good care..." as I pass out. Hopefully I say and don't just think it...
I actually remembered this episode. The kid that was having an allergic reaction was brought in and after some time being treated for it, he seemed to be doing better. Only when the family started to arrive did the kid suddenly start going into anaphylaxis shock again, hence why the doctor was then trying to figure out the cause of it. It turned out the kid's family either owned a bakery or was making some baked goods for an event or something and the recipes contained lots of nuts. The family members trying to visit them were still coated in the stuff so the kid would suddenly start having another reaction.
I remember an episode where twin doctors both had a patient who was faking pain. And after the woman stormed out of the hospital with one twin, the doctor called his brother and told him about her. Which meant when she arrived at the other hospital she ended up meeting the twin of the doctor who determined there was nothing wrong with her. And on her way out, the twin she had as her doctor in the first hospital was walking into the hospital. Pretty much twin doctors made a plan to mess with a patient who was faking it.
I remember that episode! It was quite a story, very funny! I remember the one about the woman who was going in renal failure because she was constantly rubbing forcefully her belly to expel the demon inside. She had been cursed and was responding to this curse the only way she could. In the ER they tried to help her , finally they reached out to a community center form her ethnic background and they performed a sort of exorcist. She was relieved afterward, her demon had been taken out and she stopped the rubbing motion, her kidneys were saved. Beliefs are strong sometimes.
Does anyone else say "chest compression, chest compression, chest compression"? Along with Dr. Mike? I'm new to his videos and I just realised I've started saying it along with him.
I actually remember that episode with the kid. The reason he called his wife is that episode air probably over 15 years ago which means the story was well before that time so it was a time before translators were more easily accessed. Also the reason they were trying to get to the bottom of it was because every time they thought that they had gotten the kids stable he would suddenly go back into anaphylactic shock. Turns out that he was allergic to something the parents were feeding while in the hospital. They weren't being malicious they just had no idea that he was allergic to an ingredient
Haha! My 5 year old just broke her arm a few weeks back and was very disappointed she got a white cast instead of pink. But the best part is that the surgeon was upset he couldn’t get her a pink one lol
Just found this video and loved it! This reminds me of when my mom would watch 'Life in the ER' which was live camera in an ER type of show, while we would be eating dinner, since it came on in the evening. Thanks to her, rest her soul, I can watch the most gruesome show while eating food and not be phased at all xD
first of all, thank you sm dr. mike for liking this haha! :)) and second of all, of course two days after I watch this video I have an allergic reaction to something and I have no idea what ahaha
watch Grey's anatomy as well, that show literally helped me through high school medical classes and still currently helping with some medical terms in college now that I have clinicals
The first case I’m already mad that that guy was like “I’m a paramedic, we don’t need to rush” and it turns out she’s going into SHOCK AND COULD DIE. Get your ego out of here just call 911 and let them make the calls, they are equipped you are not, they have protocols for a reason
I dont think thats what he meant. I mean think about whats going on in a normal call. 99% of the time nobody around the patient is a medical practitioner so nobody is doing any first aid or live saving measures so the paramedics have to rush to the location. Just that travel to the location is time they lose to stabilize the patient and get them to an ER. Because the guy in the show is a paramedic he saves the ambulance a lot of time because he can monitor the situation and administer to the patient long before the ambulance gets there. To give him benefit of the doubt i dont think that was ego i think that was him saying "im a paramedic and because of that the other paramedics had a lot of extra time to stabilize her that they otherwise would not have had."
I am so happy to see this!! I loved this show so much and so did my mom (she is a former ER nurse turned travel nurse). She always had a ton of great stories to tell me and my siblings growing up. They usually ranged from funny stories to very serious and dark stories. I am so happy that I grew up with a mother that was very knowledgeable in the medical field not only because of the stories but because she knew how to diagnose us when we were sick and knew proper treatment.
I actually remember this episode. The reason the doctor started investigating the CAUSE of the anaphylaxis was because he kept getting the patient stable and he would suddenly relapse back into anaphylactic shock when his parents were sitting with him in his cubicle. Turns out his dad was touching him with hands he had been touching his nut-covered apron with.
Dr Mike: “First thing we gotta do is get the patient completely naked.” Me: *Starts unbuttoning* “It was just a paper cut but you don’t have to tell me twice.”
Thank you so much for your comment on getting an interpreter. Well said. There are serious risks involved in having a relative or friend interpret for the patient, and yes, it's a HIPAA violation.
I did a project in college about the issues of language access in hospitals. One of the most shocking things I found in my research was how common it is for hospital staff to use children, even young children, as interpreters for their parents. One report even found an instance of a 3 y.o. interpreting for their parent. I understand why hospitals have to use family members to interpret when it's a really rare language, like a First Nation language or something, but it happens all the time even with Spanish speakers (in the US). It's inexcusable. Family members, unless they have a medical background, don't know all the medical lingo. Far too much gets lost in the sauce. And quite often, they won't interpret everything, because they think it embarrassing or shameful. Or they're just so overwhelmed by the emotion of it all that their brain shuts down. Or especially in the case of grandchildren, being a blood relative does not mean that you speak grandma's language to a satisfactory degree. Plus, knowing a language doesn't mean you can do well as an interpreter. It's a skill that people train years to acquire. It's like saying, "Hey, you're good at arithmetic, now go teach this math class."
That's that doctor's scrubs. He finds the most horrible scrubs he can and wears them. He addressed this subject in an episode once. I love this show lol
@@Nettietwixt Yeah, I also have a friend who is a paramedic and hes told me some of the craziest stories from being out on the field, and man, lemme tell you that some of the shit he has told me is just absolutely insane and most of the time, just absolutely disgusting lmao.
A regular scrub line. I'm not chiseled enough to wear Dr. Mike Scrubs (TM) Need the middle aged nurse version. We haven't seen size 6 since the last century.
@@adriannefluet2896 you’re not wrong. I’m a healthcare professional, and there have been many times where I have considered sleeping in scrubs. They are so comfy. I actually almost prefer scrub pants over jeans.
I'm an ER nurse in a level 1 trauma centre in Australia. I've been involved with countless thoracotamies in our resus rooms over the last 17 years. Last ditch effort yes, but they 100% happen outside of the OR.
Same!! I worked at level 1 in the US and saw a handful of them in my ER. Coolest thing I ever saw in all my ER years….. not so cool for the patient, but you know what I mean lol
When I was on my Paramedic ER clinicals, I saw a Auto vs pedestrian victim in cardiac arrest arrive in the trauma bay. I happen to also work as an EMT for the Dept. That brought in the PT so I got to sneak into the trauma room over to my coworkers after they had already turned over the patient. I was able to see them Perform a Clamshell Thoracotomy, ( My department had already done bilateral simple thoracostomy's and given a unit of blood which we carry in the field ;) ) Got to watch the ER Doc pick up the heart in the chest and perform a Cardiac massage!!! What was really cool was after about 45 seconds he set it back down and they got ROSC! The heart was beating with such contractility at a decent rate of 70 or 80just sitting there with the chest wide open and off to OR they went... That forever will be one of the coolest and rarest things I will ever see.
someone collapsed outside my job the other day and first thing i asked her is do you need me to call an ambulance or anyone for you. she was conscious but legs gave out do to age and back surgeries. i threw my backpack down to help her down and had her lean on me to get her strength back. almost everyone out of the store helped in some way and it really shows there are good people still in the world. im a manager at the store so im glad i was there to oversee and let her know to call if shes coming in so we can put stuff aside for her so she doesnt tire herself out as much next time.
My friend: I'm having the worst headache Me: don't worry I know what to do. "Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions.” The only thing I took from this video 😆😆
6:41 I’m an OR nirse in a level 1 trauma center. We actually just did a thoracotomy in the ER a couple weeks ago. Doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.
24 Hours in A&E is way more raw and real. It's actual footage in documentary style. This show is just sensation and reconstruction. Can't really compare the two in my opinion. A&E is awesome.
They need trackers or something. I lose or forget my epi pen nearly every day. They are also so freaking expensive! 150$ where I live but apparently in the States it can be as high as 600?
Untold Stories of the ER is a show I grew up watching. It's the reason I want to study pre-med in college. I turn 18 next January and at that point, I can start taking courses through my town's fire department to be a paramedic. I plan on getting experience through the job and hope to attend NYIT. If I make it into med school I want to major in emergency medicine. It's been my dream for years now and your reaction to this show brought back a lot of memories.
My dad “died” for a few moments due to an allergic reaction to something he didn’t know he was allergic to. The Dr’s told us he may be different. And he really was, he’s basically not the same person anymore. It’s crazy how things like that can change you.
@@jljl24 he’s not the person I knew when I was younger, it’s neither bad nor good, just different. Something changed and I don’t know wether it was his outlook on life that drove that. But he cares less about things, I think he’s realised that the small stuff we care about just doesn’t really matter in the long run. It’s strange to be honest
You missed the best part of that episode! The kid is stabilized but every time a new family member comes in he reacts again. They all swear there's no peanuts in the food they were making, but they finally find out it's the almonds in the baklava
The boy depicted actually had several allergies reactions in a row even after receiving epi. Every time it happened when a family member appeared visiting. Eventually the source was traced to the clothing they were wearing. Now this family was volunteering at the Greek Orthodox Church right next to the hospital working on desserts but because of this tree nut dust ended up on the clothing causing the reactions. The family was told to go home and shower and change so not to cause the reaction again. While the boy was given an epi pen to make sure an allergic reaction is nipped in the bud. I saw this episode before so that is what happened.
Can someone please make a compilation of everytime Doctor Mike has said "Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions" ? Or make a song out of it.
Ya I would have to agree with your CPR trainer because it’s not always a good idea to start performing CPR on someone who is still breathing and has a pulse. Just because they passed out doesn’t mean you start CPR. It can actually hurt them and cause damage to the person in certain scenarios where it’s not needed.
I have come across two car accidents in the past two years. One was a driver and the other was a pedestrian involved in a hit and run. Both were unconscious. One had no pulse and the other did. I was trained how to do cpr but froze and panicked when this happened both times. I asked someone if they could do cpr on the one without a pulse even though I knew it was basically pointless. But on the driver I didn’t want to further injure her. If I would’ve just started chest compressions maybe she would’ve lived. But hearing you say that if someone’s unconscious to start chest compressions really confirms that if this happens again that’s what I need to do. I’ve panicked both times and I still blame myself but now I know that what I was thinking would’ve been the right thing to do. So thank you.
I was a nurse in a level 1 trauma center for ten years. I don’t remember ever seeing any thoracotomies preformed in our ER. It’s a possibility that it happened on a shift I didn’t work but something like that would have made it’s way through the hospital quick! Most hospitals, especially large hospitals, have operating rooms dedicated to trauma. There are entire teams of nurses and surgical techs that can also get an OR ready for any surgery very quickly. If a big trauma comes into a hospital and the trauma OR’s are in use it’s common to have a non-emergent case be pushed back. I should restate to any emergency can push one that’s not life threatening. It’s not only frustrating for the patient and family but for hospital staff as well. We want you to get better, be healthy; it’s why most people go into healthcare.
my CAT had a bout of diabetes so I got a taste of the expenses associated with medicine that Americans deal with (vet expenses are not covered in Canada)--would be a great topic.
Supply and demand, there is a limited supply, the demand is rising, and a large portion of the supply is ropped off yo be given away for free. Insulin isnt cheap to make, and with so much of it being basicly stolen by the goverment (purchased at like 1/4 cost) they have to pay for the production of all the insulin, paying their employees, and developing new drugs from the profits of only about 30% of the product.
Please. Thank god I have good health insurance through my hospital. But there was a time I didn’t have any. $600 for 2 vials of novolog. Then Obamacare came just in time for those with pre-existing conditions and who couldn’t get health insurance through their parents. I went to Peru and was able to get the same type of insulin for $50. Truly insane.
I was given a three 33% chances for my mom after a motorcycle accident... 33% chance to live, 33% chance to die, 33% chance she will stay in a coma like state... The doctor never told me where that last 1% went... end of story Mom lived and is doing fine
I have seen a thoracotomy performed in the ER for a cardiac arrest twice. Neither time did the patient make it, but it was the only way to attempt to address the suspected cause of the cardiac arrest (pneumo thorax and cardiac tampenade)
My friend died August 19, after a stomach cramp. His parents called an ambulance at about 2:19 AM, and at about 4:AM the ambulance still hadn’t arrived, my friend wasn’t responding, so his parents had to take him themselves. He was already in a coma by then, and I think like 3 of his organs were dead, and he had to have a machine pumping his heart because it couldn’t pump by itself. The doctors are still investigating what happened, because I think it’s like the first time something like this had happened
Doctor Mike, could you do a video in which you react to Austin McConnell’s “What to do if your parachute fails”? It’s a short but informative video, and I thought it would be cool if, after discussing the video, you talked a little about the ways the body responds to a fall, ranging from in a fall in which you scrape your knee, to a fall from 12,000 feet. I think it’d be super interesting to learn about how the body starts to try to heal itself.
Clarnaka I remember watching an episode of that a few years ago and a lady didn’t know she was pregnant until she went to the toilet to poop and she pushed a baby out into the toilet like um okay you mean to tell me you went 9 months without your period, didn’t feel an actual tiny human moving in your stomach, and went to take a shit but pushed out a baby instead???
@@raverbun the period, some people are irregular and don't see it for up to a year. At least that's what I've read. The tiny human moving, I can't speak to, maybe they thought it was gas.
I wouldn’t say every one of the stories on that show is completely far fetched. There’s people out there who have irregular periods, are on birth control, or bleed like normal without ever knowing they were pregnant. My friend had normal periods with her pregnancy, and she had no idea she was pregnant! With some people’s bodies, they simply just don’t show enough to make them think that they are pregnant. They might notice a slight weight gain, but it’s such an insignificant amount of weight, it can easily be mistaken for typical weight gain from lack of diet and exercise. Sometimes it’s just where the baby is positioned in the body. Or if the women is heavyset as well. I think there was an episode I saw where a women even went to the doctors and they all just said she was overweight, until she was doubled over in pain due to labor. I’m not totally surprised by the stories because sometimes the symptoms are so minor they could easily be passed off. Or it could just be complete utter denial. Idk there’s just so many factors, and not every pregnancy is the same. I think there’s a TH-camr who is an OBGYN who reviews the episodes if you want to check out her channel. I can’t remember her name off the top of my head though. Edit: It’s “Mama Doctor Jones”
My sister works at a call center as an interpreter for medical calls. She receives calls from US hospitals (we live in Costa Rica) and I honestly admire her a lot cuz it's tough
I worked with a physician who was on this show! The best part was that, when it went into reruns, patients would sometimes have it on while waiting in our ER, and sometimes when he’d just so happen to also be on duty... talk about doing a double take 😂
I was sitting here like ‘this episode is familiar’ and I literally watched this episode ages ago!!! The kid with the arm (or lack there of) shocked me the most tbh lol
@DoctorMike. I'm so glad you said about chest compressions. I found my dad in cardiac arrest. He was agonal breathing and I was so unsure if he was choking. I was in shock and just started cpr before the emergency services even answered the phone. Despite being quick to act he still passed. Every moment matters
You know, Dr. Mike, every time now I talk with someone about what to do when you don't know what happened to somebody who's unconscious or what to do when somebody is not breathing, I instantly hear you in my head saying "chest compressions, chest compressions". The problem is I live in Italy and here it's actually illegal doing chest compressions on someone if you're not actually autorized by the paramedics or doctors or who can autorize you. If you do that, you could actually get sued or, if the person dies, even get the fault for their death. It's kind of a difficult thing here. I know this wasn't exactly the topic of the video, but I felt like it needed saying. Sorry :P
What the fuck? So it's be saved by a professional or die? In Germany they're doing a big campaign right now to urge people to be more forthcoming when it comes to first aid, *especially* chest compressions. To *discourage* people from saving lives is crazy.
A patient of mine recently coded and began to vomit a large amount. I also broke ribs, which was the first time I've actually done that and that was not a good feeling. As soon as I saw the patient, I knew he was in cardiac arrest, and my first thought was "Oh no, he's a full code" (patient was very elderly, not doing well, and family was actually discussing possible hospice with the case manager the day before). Once he started to vomit, I really didn't want us to get him back. We ran the code, but the family terminated it as soon as we made contact with them. I'm so grateful that that wasn't my first code and the family was not present. We got everything cleaned up very well, I closed his eyes, and then the family was able to see him and say goodbye. Oh, on a side note, Larry Mellick actually has two videos of ER thoracotomies. Both were successful but neither survived surgery.

I went into septic shock once. One of the most frightening moments of my life is when an ER nurse said "We can't get her blood pressure up". They gave me lots of fluids and vasopressors. Very scary :O
"These are the real stories that Doctors never talk about." So they're going to talk about it on TV.
Yeah like have you ever talked to a doctor?? They’ve got crazy stories out the wazoo.

That sound should become a requirement as the patient is going under. Then see if they remember when they wake up. 😂
"Oh, cool. It's Dr. Mike taking care of me. Someone let my daughter know I've got good care..." as I pass out.
Hopefully I say and don't just think it...
I actually remembered this episode. The kid that was having an allergic reaction was brought in and after some time being treated for it, he seemed to be doing better. Only when the family started to arrive did the kid suddenly start going into anaphylaxis shock again, hence why the doctor was then trying to figure out the cause of it. It turned out the kid's family either owned a bakery or was making some baked goods for an event or something and the recipes contained lots of nuts. The family members trying to visit them were still coated in the stuff so the kid would suddenly start having another reaction.
Baked goods, it was baklava. Walnuts
There was another one that dude's gf had a peanut butter sandwich earlier in the day, forgot about it, then kissed him. 😳
@@thepinkBra1 Oh yes I remember that episode.
@@thepinkBra1 the most passionate kisses make your heart stop

I remember an episode where twin doctors both had a patient who was faking pain. And after the woman stormed out of the hospital with one twin, the doctor called his brother and told him about her. Which meant when she arrived at the other hospital she ended up meeting the twin of the doctor who determined there was nothing wrong with her. And on her way out, the twin she had as her doctor in the first hospital was walking into the hospital.
Pretty much twin doctors made a plan to mess with a patient who was faking it.
I remember that episode! It was quite a story, very funny! I remember the one about the woman who was going in renal failure because she was constantly rubbing forcefully her belly to expel the demon inside. She had been cursed and was responding to this curse the only way she could. In the ER they tried to help her , finally they reached out to a community center form her ethnic background and they performed a sort of exorcist. She was relieved afterward, her demon had been taken out and she stopped the rubbing motion, her kidneys were saved. Beliefs are strong sometimes.
Does anyone else say "chest compression, chest compression, chest compression"? Along with Dr. Mike? I'm new to his videos and I just realised I've started saying it along with him.
Candii A.L. Same here
Yes I do.
I’ve said it to one of my patients.. when they were singing the abcs
YES
I do too😂😂😂
"Is the patient breathing?"
"Yes"
Dr. Mike "chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions"
Chest compressions aren't always for breathing, its also used to manually pump someone's heart (I had to take a cpr class for school)
I'm CPR certified, I know. It was a joke.
Oh okay! Sorry 😅😅
"Is the patient conscious and walking and responsive?"
"Yes"

I actually remember that episode with the kid. The reason he called his wife is that episode air probably over 15 years ago which means the story was well before that time so it was a time before translators were more easily accessed. Also the reason they were trying to get to the bottom of it was because every time they thought that they had gotten the kids stable he would suddenly go back into anaphylactic shock. Turns out that he was allergic to something the parents were feeding while in the hospital. They weren't being malicious they just had no idea that he was allergic to an ingredient
In kindergarten I broke my arm. My parents told me that I cried cause the cast was blue not pink. Not because of pain.

This reminds me of when my mom would watch 'Life in the ER' which was live camera in an ER type of show, while we would be eating dinner, since it came on in the evening. Thanks to her, rest her soul, I can watch the most gruesome show while eating food and not be phased at all xD
Dr. Mike: I’ve never head of a thoracotomy outside the ER
Me: Clearly you don’t watch enough Grey’s Anatomy

@@bea2661 thanks love! likewise
Aw you don't need a doctor anymore now!
The first case I’m already mad that that guy was like “I’m a paramedic, we don’t need to rush” and it turns out she’s going into SHOCK AND COULD DIE. Get your ego out of here just call 911 and let them make the calls, they are equipped you are not, they have protocols for a reason
Too close.
He was trying to be a paragod. I would have wanted code 3.
I dont think thats what he meant. I mean think about whats going on in a normal call. 99% of the time nobody around the patient is a medical practitioner so nobody is doing any first aid or live saving measures so the paramedics have to rush to the location. Just that travel to the location is time they lose to stabilize the patient and get them to an ER. Because the guy in the show is a paramedic he saves the ambulance a lot of time because he can monitor the situation and administer to the patient long before the ambulance gets there. To give him benefit of the doubt i dont think that was ego i think that was him saying "im a paramedic and because of that the other paramedics had a lot of extra time to stabilize her that they otherwise would not have had."
@@justarandomveryintelligent8934 He would probably not have any equipment in his home and therefore unable to help her.
@@justarandomveryintelligent8934 I appreciate you trying to be positive, and give him the benefit of the doubt. Not that many people do that.
I am so happy to see this!! I loved this show so much and so did my mom (she is a former ER nurse turned travel nurse). She always had a ton of great stories to tell me and my siblings growing up. They usually ranged from funny stories to very serious and dark stories. I am so happy that I grew up with a mother that was very knowledgeable in the medical field not only because of the stories but because she knew how to diagnose us when we were sick and knew proper treatment.
I actually remember this episode. The reason the doctor started investigating the CAUSE of the anaphylaxis was because he kept getting the patient stable and he would suddenly relapse back into anaphylactic shock when his parents were sitting with him in his cubicle. Turns out his dad was touching him with hands he had been touching his nut-covered apron with.

Thank you so much for your comment on getting an interpreter. Well said. There are serious risks involved in having a relative or friend interpret for the patient, and yes, it's a HIPAA violation.
I did a project in college about the issues of language access in hospitals. One of the most shocking things I found in my research was how common it is for hospital staff to use children, even young children, as interpreters for their parents. One report even found an instance of a 3 y.o. interpreting for their parent. I understand why hospitals have to use family members to interpret when it's a really rare language, like a First Nation language or something, but it happens all the time even with Spanish speakers (in the US). It's inexcusable.
Family members, unless they have a medical background, don't know all the medical lingo. Far too much gets lost in the sauce. And quite often, they won't interpret everything, because they think it embarrassing or shameful. Or they're just so overwhelmed by the emotion of it all that their brain shuts down. Or especially in the case of grandchildren, being a blood relative does not mean that you speak grandma's language to a satisfactory degree. Plus, knowing a language doesn't mean you can do well as an interpreter. It's a skill that people train years to acquire. It's like saying, "Hey, you're good at arithmetic, now go teach this math class."

That brought in the PT so I got to sneak into the trauma room over to my coworkers after they had already turned over the patient. I was able to see them Perform a Clamshell Thoracotomy, ( My department had already done bilateral simple thoracostomy's and given a unit of blood which we carry in the field ;) ) Got to watch the ER Doc pick up the heart in the chest and perform a Cardiac massage!!! What was really cool was after about 45 seconds he set it back down and they got ROSC! The heart was beating with such contractility at a decent rate of 70 or 80just sitting there with the chest wide open and off to OR they went... That forever will be one of the coolest and rarest things I will ever see.

Untold Stories of the ER is a show I grew up watching. It's the reason I want to study pre-med in college. I turn 18 next January and at that point, I can start taking courses through my town's fire department to be a paramedic. I plan on getting experience through the job and hope to attend NYIT. If I make it into med school I want to major in emergency medicine. It's been my dream for years now and your reaction to this show brought back a lot of memories.
My dad “died” for a few moments due to an allergic reaction to something he didn’t know he was allergic to. The Dr’s told us he may be different. And he really was, he’s basically not the same person anymore. It’s crazy how things like that can change you.
OMG
That’s sad
Is he different in a bad way?
@@jljl24 he’s not the person I knew when I was younger, it’s neither bad nor good, just different. Something changed and I don’t know wether it was his outlook on life that drove that. But he cares less about things, I think he’s realised that the small stuff we care about just doesn’t really matter in the long run. It’s strange to be honest
Please Dr Mike do a video review of "my 600lb life" or a video talking about obesity, please!
You missed the best part of that episode! The kid is stabilized but every time a new family member comes in he reacts again. They all swear there's no peanuts in the food they were making, but they finally find out it's the almonds in the baklava

sad potato I hope my story doesn’t end up in that show. Lol
The boy depicted actually had several allergies reactions in a row even after receiving epi. Every time it happened when a family member appeared visiting. Eventually the source was traced to the clothing they were wearing. Now this family was volunteering at the Greek Orthodox Church right next to the hospital working on desserts but because of this tree nut dust ended up on the clothing causing the reactions. The family was told to go home and shower and change so not to cause the reaction again. While the boy was given an epi pen to make sure an allergic reaction is nipped in the bud. I saw this episode before so that is what happened.
Did the whole discovery take place in the ER tho? ERs aren't supposed to find the underlying problem lol

Ya I would have to agree with your CPR trainer because it’s not always a good idea to start performing CPR on someone who is still breathing and has a pulse. Just because they passed out doesn’t mean you start CPR. It can actually hurt them and cause damage to the person in certain scenarios where it’s not needed.
I have come across two car accidents in the past two years. One was a driver and the other was a pedestrian involved in a hit and run. Both were unconscious. One had no pulse and the other did. I was trained how to do cpr but froze and panicked when this happened both times. I asked someone if they could do cpr on the one without a pulse even though I knew it was basically pointless. But on the driver I didn’t want to further injure her. If I would’ve just started chest compressions maybe she would’ve lived. But hearing you say that if someone’s unconscious to start chest compressions really confirms that if this happens again that’s what I need to do. I’ve panicked both times and I still blame myself but now I know that what I was thinking would’ve been the right thing to do. So thank you.
So like no one else wants to know about the 10 year old boy who’s arm was cut off..

I was a nurse in a level 1 trauma center for ten years. I don’t remember ever seeing any thoracotomies preformed in our ER. It’s a possibility that it happened on a shift I didn’t work but something like that would have made it’s way through the hospital quick! Most hospitals, especially large hospitals, have operating rooms dedicated to trauma. There are entire teams of nurses and surgical techs that can also get an OR ready for any surgery very quickly. If a big trauma comes into a hospital and the trauma OR’s are in use it’s common to have a non-emergent case be pushed back. I should restate to any emergency can push one that’s not life threatening. It’s not only frustrating for the patient and family but for hospital staff as well. We want you to get better, be healthy; it’s why most people go into healthcare.

Could you do a video about the problems surrounding insulin prices and how they affect diabetics especially type 1
Insulin is bankrupting me, and I'd declare bankruptcy, but I can't afford it due to buying insulin.
my CAT had a bout of diabetes so I got a taste of the expenses associated with medicine that Americans deal with (vet expenses are not covered in Canada)--would be a great topic.
Supply and demand, there is a limited supply, the demand is rising, and a large portion of the supply is ropped off yo be given away for free.
Insulin isnt cheap to make, and with so much of it being basicly stolen by the goverment (purchased at like 1/4 cost) they have to pay for the production of all the insulin, paying their employees, and developing new drugs from the profits of only about 30% of the product.
Please. Thank god I have good health insurance through my hospital. But there was a time I didn’t have any. $600 for 2 vials of novolog. Then Obamacare came just in time for those with pre-existing conditions and who couldn’t get health insurance through their parents. I went to Peru and was able to get the same type of insulin for $50. Truly insane.
@@AdamIsUrqed Do you live near the Canadian border? You can buy many types of Insulin OTC at a pharmacy in Canada for much cheaper.

My friend died August 19, after a stomach cramp. His parents called an ambulance at about 2:19 AM, and at about 4:AM the ambulance still hadn’t arrived, my friend wasn’t responding, so his parents had to take him themselves.

Doctor Mike, could you do a video in which you react to Austin McConnell’s “What to do if your parachute fails”?
It’s a short but informative video, and I thought it would be cool if, after discussing the video, you talked a little about the ways the body responds to a fall, ranging from in a fall in which you scrape your knee, to a fall from 12,000 feet.

I mean wasnt there a single symptom?
It’s real. Check out mama dr Jones on TH-cam. She’s a gynaecologist and she reacts to this
I wouldn’t say every one of the stories on that show is completely far fetched. There’s people out there who have irregular periods, are on birth control, or bleed like normal without ever knowing they were pregnant. My friend had normal periods with her pregnancy, and she had no idea she was pregnant! With some people’s bodies, they simply just don’t show enough to make them think that they are pregnant. They might notice a slight weight gain, but it’s such an insignificant amount of weight, it can easily be mistaken for typical weight gain from lack of diet and exercise. Sometimes it’s just where the baby is positioned in the body. Or if the women is heavyset as well. I think there was an episode I saw where a women even went to the doctors and they all just said she was overweight, until she was doubled over in pain due to labor. I’m not totally surprised by the stories because sometimes the symptoms are so minor they could easily be passed off. Or it could just be complete utter denial. Idk there’s just so many factors, and not every pregnancy is the same. I think there’s a TH-camr who is an OBGYN who reviews the episodes if you want to check out her channel. I can’t remember her name off the top of my head though.

I worked with a physician who was on this show! The best part was that, when it went into reruns, patients would sometimes have it on while waiting in our ER, and sometimes when he’d just so happen to also be on duty... talk about doing a double take 😂
I was sitting here like ‘this episode is familiar’ and I literally watched this episode ages ago!!! The kid with the arm (or lack there of) shocked me the most tbh lol
@DoctorMike. I'm so glad you said about chest compressions. I found my dad in cardiac arrest. He was agonal breathing and I was so unsure if he was choking. I was in shock and just started cpr before the emergency services even answered the phone. Despite being quick to act he still passed. Every moment matters
Here I am, literally watching an old episode of Untold Stories of the ER, and look what pops up in my recommendations...
oml u should really watch the episode where the bratty mom gives her pageant daughter tapeworms and she like acts all innocent about it
Oh god. That episode was soo baddd. Have you seen the one where a man's eye was bulging out of his head?
YES!
That was the best episode!!!
all of these episodes are so obviously staged its actually funny
@@se7vin77 They're reconstructing the stories. *Of course* they're staged.
You know, Dr. Mike, every time now I talk with someone about what to do when you don't know what happened to somebody who's unconscious or what to do when somebody is not breathing, I instantly hear you in my head saying "chest compressions, chest compressions". The problem is I live in Italy and here it's actually illegal doing chest compressions on someone if you're not actually autorized by the paramedics or doctors or who can autorize you. If you do that, you could actually get sued or, if the person dies, even get the fault for their death. It's kind of a difficult thing here. I know this wasn't exactly the topic of the video, but I felt like it needed saying. Sorry :P
What the fuck? So it's be saved by a professional or die? In Germany they're doing a big campaign right now to urge people to be more forthcoming when it comes to first aid, *especially* chest compressions. To *discourage* people from saving lives is crazy.
A patient of mine recently coded and began to vomit a large amount. I also broke ribs, which was the first time I've actually done that and that was not a good feeling. As soon as I saw the patient, I knew he was in cardiac arrest, and my first thought was "Oh no, he's a full code" (patient was very elderly, not doing well, and family was actually discussing possible hospice with the case manager the day before). Once he started to vomit, I really didn't want us to get him back. We ran the code, but the family terminated it as soon as we made contact with them. I'm so grateful that that wasn't my first code and the family was not present. We got everything cleaned up very well, I closed his eyes, and then the family was able to see him and say goodbye.
Oh, on a side note, Larry Mellick actually has two videos of ER thoracotomies. Both were successful but neither survived surgery.
I know this is irrelevant but visual-wise, he can be Captain America.
He probably has Americas ass
