I once had a cheap boss. His son had a very high fever. He took him outside and turned the water hose on him full blast. Needless to say his Son passed out. He had the flu
Teisha mctablor I FEEL BAD BUT IM LAUGHING SO HARD SKSJSKS
Passed out is bad. Should tell the father he could have killed his son. In another way this can be seen as murder or second degree murder.
My world becomes a little darker when I'm reminded people like this exist

Patient actually did a successful laringotomy on himself. This man in his sixties was choking on his dinner. He took his knife basically cut his on throat then walked down a flight of stairs to ask the neighbor to call an ambulance. I sh*t you not, it's true.
that is
quite possibly the most absolutely metal thing I've ever read, jesus christ
What are the dangers there? How does one do it properly? Like where do you puncture?
Aeternak I’m in no way shape or form a medical anything but from my 1 year in human studies in 8th grade I believe there is a very large chance of hitting your carotid artery and bleeding out to death. you can also cut in the wrong spot and somehow puncture your airway in a way where you can’t breathe (again i’m not a doctor.) also there is a chance of cutting your vocal cords.
@@ash8936 Ah, he must've known what he was doing then.
The carotid artery is near the sides, trachea is in the middle
Still, not worth trying yourself (unless like you’re certain you’re going to die before help gets there if you don’t do anything, I guess, cause then it’s death or high risk of death, but even then I wouldn’t recommend doing it on yourself before like someone tries the Heimlich)
I'm an orthopedic nurse. Guy came in, had a total knee replacement. Came back two weeks later with a massive infection in the incision. Said he'd been letting his dogs lick it because dog saliva was "healing." Oy. I think he had a couple of surgeries to get rid of the infection and a massive number of IV antibiotics. Not the sharpest tool in the toolbox.
Genius
This isn't DIY, it's a lesson in why sterilization is SO important!
When you say sterilization, do you mean proper wound care, or making sure these morons don't reproduce?
I’m not even these people and I felt like I just got roasted
@@anarcoyote1207 both must happen
Of the wounds or the patients?
Jeeeesus. I wish reddit displayed the nationalities of the posters. I wonder how many of these are in America.
I live in Canada where emergency care is covered but half of these sound like shit my dad would do just to avoid having to bother to go into the ER.
Its all in the US, they are the only ones who are this stupid
yo macking on the us, not everyone here is stupid lol maybe a minority is.
@@IDvfy My comment at least is less about stupidity and more about how paying crazy prices for emergency care can ruin or at least totally fuck up your future! My dad is a (non-American) genius on paper, but very stupid when it comes to thinking he's smarter than doctors. I'd hate to have to choose between something free that might work, and something that'll cost twice my yearly income and still has a chance it could go wrong. I think the percentage of stupid people levels out no matter where you are, but with there being SO MANY WAYS to be stupid it's probably a majority in every country on earth.
No maple syrup comment yet? Thet seems like a very Canadian thing to do
I have a traumatic memory of having watched my mother force my older half-sister to swallow a large dollop of Vick's when I was about 8-years-old. I cannot understand why some people do the things they do.
The Neighborhood what. the. fuck...?????
Poor eduication. Although maybe in her case anger.
Especially when taken internally Vicks can make you sick or poison you. Eucalyptus and Camphor are toxic when digested for humans. We're not koalas.
You Mexican?
Listening to this video just reminded me of historical stories of how people from the Victorian era and prior to this time would "medicate" and "fix" wounds/ injuries.... 😂
Not to mention the FACT that ANY OILS on a baby's skin is BAD if the baby needs to be put on a bill light!/phototherapy!!!!
time for roasted baby
The worst that I've heard of was a guy who made his own cast on a broken foot from _cement_ . Note that cement is *exothermic* , it gets very, very hot as it sets. Guess what had happened to his foot. Roasted pork...
I am glad there is an upper limit on how much the body can cringe, I feel that I would have turned inside out based on the material here.
I love the way the bot says snake.
Ikr like so much emphasis. He was bitten by a SNAKE. The SNAKE got AWAY
Snek
I'm shakingly breathing just listening to this! God, what is wrong with people?
I found a fashion magazine from the forties once. There was an ad about using Lysol as a douche.
My great grandmother would give her kids a spoonful of vicks vapo rub when they were sick too. My grandpa told me a story of one instance of this dosing.
All seven of the kids were running around the house playing. My great grandmother would hide behind a corner and grab the kids one by one as they ran past to shove a spoonful of vicks in their mouth.
Well, two of the kids were identical twins, and one of them was unlucky enough to get snatched up two times, and she didnt believe him when he said he'd already got one.
Your great grandmother is crazy.
i saw a man come into the ER who “tried crystal meth” to treat his earache
I do all my own minor surgeries, but something like staples like ... wow get a professional to do it. Also at least have some medical training first and have an understanding of what causes an infection, and how to identify one. If you get an infection, go to the hospital immediately as you're not a doctor, and no, you don't know better.
Obligatory not a doctor but:
I have twice now removed my own ingrown toe-nail.
I had to soak the nail in water. Then took a pairs of needle nose pliers and a Shun Japanese chef knife and cut the down the side of the length of the nail.
It was painful to say the least.
1st time worked but only temporarily.
2nd time I did it, I placed a plastic wedge under my nail so it will grow over it and not dig into the skin.
It worked, kinda. The wedge was fused into my skin after a couple months. And then when I finally went to a doctor, he removed it and said "Even though your methods some what ended up working. I really do not recommend you do surgery on yourself."
So even though I ended DIY'ing and fixing the pain. My toenail now looks like a rotting piece of wood.
I work in an ER; years ago we'd have a man come in for venomous snake bites...and he was allergic to antivenom. He'd already lost a leg somewhere along the way. Saw him 3-4 times over 6-8 months. Then one day ambulance brings him to us in cardiac arrest. I found it hard to really care that he died. Still don't. He was an idiot.
I see a lot of people with chronic conditions like diabetes or congestive heart failure come into the ER because they are noncompliant with their doctor's orders/meds. Gets under my skin we *have* to treat them (especially the ones we see repeatedly, for the same damn problem that has a solution) because those people are taking up time, space, and resources we could be using on truly sick or injured patients.
Recently, a man came in for gangrene. One finger on each hand was half rotten away - like from the tip to halfway down the second knuckle looked like a 4-month-old body found out in the woods. All of his toes were already gone. I think he was diabetic? I don't know what happened to this man, but I do hope everything went well for him. Patients like him make me stop and ask 'Why/how do you let it get that bad??' Still don't have a good answer.
UPDATE: gangrene guy panicked right before the surgery to remove his rotted fingers, but ending up going through. He was discharged and I hope he heals well, he was a nice guy.
People like that are what cause people like me to have a bad time, too. I suffer Fibromyalgia, a knee problem that honestly causes my kneecaps to slide left and right (I'm getting an MRI on that soon, but it was my fault as a teenager, I was doing 30 down a sidewalk on a moped and biffed it, landed on the left knee first,) Plantar Fachiitis and both knees are screwed up due to the aforementioned, a botched knee surgery on the left (He cleaned up the meniscus but put down he did a few other things when he didn't and tore the meniscus further,) and because of babying that knee, I screwed up the right. Needless to say, I am in full body pain, 24/7. And when I go in, cause I'm at my wits end with pain and want something to help, I either get the "You're a pain pill addict," or "I don't believe in Fibromyalgia, you're faking it."
I take pain pills, sure. But I only take what I am given and do my damnest to stretch them out over a month and only take them when I am near crying. I'm anything but addicted to these and it pisses me off that I ask for some help or to see if it's a new pain (A lot of the times, I get phantom pains somewhere else, than what I'm used to,) or a torn ligament, sprain, etc... and I don't know if it's my FM or not. It really bothers me the ER docs in the past assume I'm there to feed my addiction or I'm there for attention.
@@BeckyNosferatu I'm sorry to hear that you have trouble in the ER. I really wish there was a better way for us to categorize patients so we knew who truly needs more attention (like you) and who's just being a leech.
Actually, I'd settle for being able to call out the leeches to their faces!
@@TheSchultinator I would do it too, if it helped our cases. lol I hate seeing people who are addicted to something and refuse to get help for it. My mother is 15 years clean now, and it destroyed my childhood. So seeing people who are wanting nothing more than to get high really burns me up.
@@BeckyNosferatu I have fm too on top of degenerative disc disease and about 3 other chronic pain conditions but can't afford healthcare and every time I go to the ER for severe abdominal pain (I have polycystic ovary syndrome) I get that whole "you have a bunch of cysts, I won't treat you for pain, go to the obgyn." thing. They seriously treat pain patients like shit no matter what as far as I can see. I'm not even on any pain medications besides about 1200mg of ibuprofen 2x a day or I'd go mad.
This guy came in with 5+ SNAKE bites on his hand. Turns out he tried to catch the SNAKE so he could bring it in. Lol why does text to speech do that 😂😂
Imagine going down on that woman with the shot glass in her hooha and involuntarily doing the Kylie Jenner lip challenge
(I know that it's technically impossible but it's still a very funny image) 😂😂😂
Current day lysol is basically just alcohol. Good thing she didn't get drunk :)

I once removed a tick I had on my head, and immediately started bleeding as I _may_ have torn off _some_ skin along with it. I never told anyone, and still have a roughly pea-sized bald spot on my head that occasionally bleeds if I poke it too much, but not much else has happened since.
If it bleeds when you poke it, you should probably show it to a doctor...
Travel safe pupper LOL🤣
Travel safe, pupper!!!! I don't have a dog, but I'm going to safely travel to hell laughing at these people with pickles the bun bun. Xoxo 😘💋❤️
the worst i ever did DIY medical was use band-aids to keep a wound closed as best i could until i got stitches..
i didnt do it for any medical purposes, i just knew that if it stayed open i was going to faint..
fainting would not have been good while driving to the hospital..
5 stitches later & i was the neighborhood badass..
Travel safe, pupper. I like it when dogs have handy handles.
Travel safe pupper. Lost luggage is no joke.
Travel safe pupper... Gonna need it when I'm 20 (going to France)
Safe travel pupper!!
9:15 My mother has bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and is a polysubstance abuser. As an elementary school-aged kid I watched her force my older, lower-functioning autistic sibling swallow a very large glob of vicks right from the jar. It was traumatizing to watch, and I'm certain it was significantly worse to experience personally. People are wonderful, terrible creatures.
I once found a lump on my leg, my mom claimed it was an ingrown hair and attempted to pop it. When we FINALLY went to the doctors she said it was nothing but don’t attempt to drain it again. Few days later due to the opening from the attempted popping, it gets infected and starts turning red and hurts like hell.
I had to beg my mom to take me to the duty doctor, I hate complaining and begging, but I was in so much pain. Turns out thanks to my mom’s diy attempt it turned into cellulitis. Which is a very painful infection that can turn flesh eating if not treated. We caught it just in time and after a few weeks on meds it healed. I’m still stuck with a dark and ugly bruise it left behind, and that was a year ago.
Travel safe pawpaw!!!
I was wrongly diagnosed at a fairly young age of 5 1/2, which led to me developing chronic kidney inflammatory disease... thanks to the medical care in another hospital my mom took me to I am not on dialysis now)))
Glad you’re doing better now
Travel safe pupper. Lol cutes.

I had a week where I would lay down and have trouble breathing. Called my aunt (family was out of town) and she said don't go to the doctor, try Vick's. Wasted $3 on Vick's. It did nothing. Whole family got back home, and still refused to let me go to the doctor.
So...
I'm very pale, my skin looks shiny...
Also, I'm an Albino (not full, but I have lighter hair (caramell brown to nearly white) and a red-ish in my eyes.
You know what my sister did?
She tied me to a chair, placed me in the sun because my parents thought I had a terrible disease and my sister wanted to tan me so my parents aren't worried.
...
It didn't end well.
You should know, someone with albinism shouldn't be put in the sun. For nearly 5 hours without anything to drink in 40°C heat.
I didn't talk to my sister nor to my parents for a *month*.
PlingLing _HD Jesus christ, did you have to go to the hospital after that? I’m so so sorry!!
We’re so evolved and yet so far from being functional.
The knitting needle story made my stomach hurt
Travel safe, pupper.
So many Darwin Award contenders.
couldve sworn ive already seen this exact video on a different channel
Carmen Becker same
A lot of videos of Reddit youtubers are copies of others, like exact copies
DamagedJefff that’s messed up
What poultice was the first guy trying to make? Tetanus poultice?
Travel safe pupper! Lol.
I’m about to go on vacation so I’m not gonna risk it. Travel safe pupper!
''Not for internal use''
Yes, let me put Lysol inside of me and see how it helps.
My grandmother on my mom's side. Vicks was her cure all. She would do the normal stuff. You know on the chest. But she did some other stuff with it. Vicks on the feet with socks on to my mom and her older sibling. An other thing she did was get two globs if it and shoved them in her nose.
Travel safe pupper! (Can’t risk it going on study abroad!)
CJ Daly hope you have fun! 😊
(travel safe pupper) that's awesome! I'm traveling to Central America for a language study program soon. Studying abroad is great.
I went to India. You will enjoy it! Safe travels!

Liquid Lysol was recommended for vaginal infections years ago, but it wasn't full strength even then. It was diluted like one tablespoon per gallon of warm water, and only for sitz baths, not for douches. And it wasn't the spray. Times have changed, thank God. My first child is 45 now, it was recommended for me after her birth. To be fair, my OB was East Indian. Maybe that had something to do with it??
ALWAYS GO TO THE DAMN DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY IF YOU GET HORRIBLY SICK OR INJURED
Not a doctor, but as a cashier I had a guy and his gf 10 come up to the counter with superglue. Asked what it was for, told me it was for his broken nose. When I commented that was insane he told me he did the same thing with his finger. WHAT. A. FUCKING. LEGEND.

i dont know if i want to be a doctor anymore
I was fucking worried about a diy circumcision story. And there it was. PEOPLE! RESPECT THAT EXTRA SKIN! IT'S AMAZING! I can't believe people want it gone.
travel safe, pupper.
Parents who put those oils on PREEMIES should not be parents. Those poor babies!
These people are in serious need of a reality check.
you can use sugar to trean some wounds, like salt but doesn't burn. we do it in 3rd world countries, but not syrup
Honey is a better alternative to antibiotic ointment. Not sugar. It's highly effective as an ointment too, for burns, and cuts and even good for fighting MRSA. Organic raw unfiltered honey works best.
@@pandalady5964 well we don't have that good of an experience with that either

So I got a cut ( for personal reasons I'm not gonna say how it happened ) that I caused and I didnt want my parents to find out and It wouldn't stop bleeding so i panicked and remembered something my dad once told me ( he has congestive heart failure) salt can help stop blood flow by clotting for me it build up water and I almost die
Thanks dad for something useful
Some of the happenings in the video sound a LOT like the free clinic stories in House, M.D.
The DIY circumcision for one...
Some of them may be copied from the show, but keep in mind that ALL medical shows get their ideas from real life medical instances that the writers find in their research. If a news site writes an article about a generally unheard of medical phenomena tomorrow, in two months one of those medical shows will have an episode about it.

One time my friend was jumping on his trampoline and he bit his tongue so hard that his teeth connected through his tongue he went inside pale faced and his grandpa (who was a nurse for over 20 years) stitched that little piece of tongue back on he is perfectly fine now. Just some really bad ww2 type shit flashbacks.
Comments like this keep reminding me of long buried childhood memories like the time I tied a bathrobe rope to my bunk bed and plagued on it (the bunk bed had small stairs on the side instead of a ladder) and when I did a flip on the bathrobe rope and hit my chin on the stairs hard enough for my teeth to bite through my tongue, not hard enough to go all the way through, but hard enough for my tongue to bleed

Do people know that VapoRub contains a trace amount turpentine paint thinner to sharpen up the smell? Or that turpentine is _a fucking paint thinner?_
