There was a girl from my highschool that fell from the top of the pyramid and broke her neck because her spotter was jealous because “she stole her boyfriend”
She lived but lost nearly all of her memory and her recovery was about 2 years.
When she returned she went to see the boyfriend and she didn’t remember that he broke it off while in the hospital, and was dating the jealous girl.
She’s doing incredible now, she’s in fashion and merchandising, and Mrs jealousy is now in jail.
Wow, I don’t know if that’s more evil or pathetic. Not to mention her “boyfriend” leaving her for the person responsible for her trauma. What charges was she arrested on?
I'm am so very glad she got a miracle!
What a fantastic ending 😂
Might I ask what Ms. Jealousy is in jail for?
@@Rogue_Centuriondid u read anything?? she caused the girl to break her neck, on purpose
If anyone is to be blamed, it's the coaches and sports trainers of the school for not properly spotting the stunt. She broke her neck! She's lucky to be alive!!
Is she? I can’t imagine being paralysed for the rest of one’s life to be worth it.
And for not teaching her how to take a proper fall/fall in a more safe way
I would be lucky I was dead in that case. Being paralyzed neck down is something I would not wish to my worst enemy.
Too many sports trainers and coaches put too much pressure on young athletes, wanting to produce elite athletes and forget that injuries that require hospitilsation are inevitable. Any person who aspires to be a cheerleader might think twice. I can undertand why some young people find it easier to say "no" to sport,
Cheerleading is very dangerous. All athletes can get injured but those who do extremely dangerous stunts should keep in mind the possibility of paralysis and whether getting to the top is worth it.
As a Former Fire Chief and Paramedic I had a difficult situation with a scene call. I had a mid 20's patient who's throat was swelling and closing fast. I have done surgical cricothyrotomy before, but the local Jurisdiction didn't have it in there protocols, so I called Medical Control and was advised to do what is necessary, but it will be highly reviewed at the patient is under care of another provider! Since I had no medical supplies that directly involved a surgical cricothyrotomy, I had to improvise. That patient survived and now has a large family of there own and started a company of there own! It was very rewarding to know I made a positive difference!
Thank you
Their
Well done
@@lordhelmet916 Get a life.
That's amazing
My granddaughter was a flyer and was dropped one time. The girls at the bottom did a good job breaking her fall but she still hit the gym floor with a thud so loud that the whole gym went silent. Thankfully she just suffered some bruising.
This! There’s always supposed to be bases at the bottom to catch flyers who fall.
I'm so happy to hear that your granddaughter wasn't seriously injured. That must have been terrifying for her and your family.
Womp womp
I love how intubation is somehow considered not something a paramedic can do even though it very much is in their scope of practice
Ikr? They're literally taught how to do an intubation in medic school, and is a requirement they must pass and get signed off by a medical director in order to get their license. But hey, gotta have unnecessary drama in a drama show I guess lol
@@SuperDraconas
It may be okay where you live, but not in San Fransisco. The mother should be glad the paramedics came right away. Right now, it can take a while for an ambulance to arrive, she would have been lying on the floor with the mother freaking out because no one is helping her daughter just standing around
@drmayeda1 it's a national standard that paramedics know how to do an intubation. They cannot get their license without knowing that skill. And besides, it was stated earlier in the clip that she wasn't breathing. Saving a life trumps any other risk, because that is literally their job. Had they not done the intubation, the girl would have been dead within minutes from lack of oxygen and the mother would now be even more distraught because she watched her daughter pass away in front her while no one did anything to prevent it.
@@SuperDraconas Unfortunately, RSI is out of scope for ground (and I'm pretty sure flight) medics in CA
Shows like this tend to ignore reality so as to heighten the drama.
as a former cheerleader, whenever a flyer is in the air, not only should the bases be cautious, but there should be other cheerleaders on the sides to catch the flyer if someone falls.
Thatstuntshouldbeoutlawedperm.everywhere,,,,,,,,,byfederallaw.,,,,,myschoolsiattended,,,,,,that won't be allowed....
That’s exactly what i was thinking! Like how did all bases just let her hit the ground like that? They can feel you falling.
@@michellehull7720 what
On the plus side at least she HAD a nice neck
@@keina2121 they didn’t like her. 🫢
When something goes wrong, its the doctors fault, but if things go right, its 'thank god!' and 'it's a miracle!'
Yup!
its why I’m atheist lol
Well, I don't think the Doctors can do everything. Most people are thankful to Doctors and thank God when things are at their darkest. The Doctor told my friend to take her dad home to die that there was nothing they could do for him. So they accepted it they prayed and that was 5 years ago and he is still here and was able to dance at my friends wedding. Sometimes Doctors give up and people have no choice but to turn to God. That's just life.
Doctors are not working for free. They're getting paid heavily!!! So yeah if they can't do their job properly then it's okay to blame and sue them.......
Show me one doctor who is not living a fancy life!!!
God's dead.
As a cheerleader we would've never let something like this happen. Especially with all the girls that could've helped that were in the scene at the time too? We were taught that even if it meant us being injured we would catch the flyer if they were falling.
I’m a cheerleader also and if I fall I have basses infront of me to catch me
I was a cheerleader all my life and I agree we would never let that happen and as a front spot I always caught the flyer when ever she lost balance
It all happened too quickly to judge.
@@Thelilliput1 not really. when a flyer starts to get off balance you pay attention to them. they all would have had a ton of time if this were real because the flyer is supposed to be stady.
As someone who broke his neck once, this really got to my heart.
oh damn are u ok cause breaking a neck is almost guaranteed paralysis
That's what happens when you're neck and neck going for the goal
The problem of cheerleaders not being considered a sport this kind of thing is a common place it happens and young girls have died from cheerleading
@@demonkitties9672 cheerleading is classified a sport by the IOC, besides 80% of sports are dangerous.
@ٴ if it was considered a sport (which legally thanx to that damn bill) they there would be the same lvl of safety as gymnastics have bc that is essentially what cheerleading is gymnastics mixed w dance so there is no safety protections in place incas3 of a bad tumble and last I checked(granted has been awhile ) cheerleaders were the leading most other sports in injury and since it isn't a contact sport like foot ball bother American and European basketball or any other sport similar to those cheerleading is a non contact sport we rnt going up against other kids we r doing gymnastics and since there's so safety young woman can die and have died
First thing you learn when working in a health centre: you NEVER make those kind of snarky comments to another doctor or nurse in front of a patient. Next thing you know, the patient thinks the doctor’s wrong or don’t know what they’re doing and files an unnecessary complaint which could mean lots of trouble.
Edit: I’ve always wanted to do this, this is the most likes I’ve gotten ever and now I get why people get so excited about it😄
First thing in a "first world country": you focus on what's best for the patient, not on potential claims...
@@00alda00 By making those kind of comments you just make the patient and family feel unsafe, in this case it was clearly a personal problem, better to voice your concerns in private if it’s not urgent… in any country I hope?
I knew one who's worried about complaints over patient care should not be in the medical field you obviously don't know anything
Also snowflake there was no snarky comment by a doctor to another doctor 😂 it was done by the mother the brain has left the building
I was on life support. I remember the comments of the blue team and emergency nurses. We hear you even if we look asleep
Spinal injuries are unpredictable. I was told that when my grandfather was a teenager, he fell off the roof of the cafeteria at his high school and landed on his back but he recovered fully from it. It actually surprised me.
What in the world was he doing on the roof of the cafeteria?
@@PaulaDautremont Teenager doing teenager things.
@@justanotheruser5407 Good point.
It’s shocking to see all these comments relating to a broken neck. I’m so sorry you guys. Sending good vibes.
The performance of the grief-stricken mother seems excellent. As the doctor said, when tragedies happen, it's natural to assign blame; and the emergency department staff were the last to handle her child. When anything terrible happens, our minds love to explore the "What ifs" When feeling out of control and helpless, the mother's "What ifs" fall on those tasked with the present situation at hand, especially with no medical knowledge to understand the intricacies and limitations of emergency medicine. This reaction was written quite realistically.
It's written realistically, yes, but the acting is unfortunately very stiff.
@@DigiDestined13 yup, my mom wouldve been hysterical and screaming for help. This mom is just... "what happened!? Looks at coach with a normal worried expression.
"Please help my daughter!" Doesn't ask more questions, isn't trembling, crying, none of that mom stuff.
The performance of the mother was absolutely awful.
@@Jeromepkr How so? Yeah, many people in that situation would be in hysterics, but it's not too much of a stretch to expect some to act the way she did, especially if in denial.
If anything, the paramedics were the 1st ones to assist..the doctors were the last ones! After the surgery, it was deemed that she'd never walk..blame the doctors, they make mistakes everyday and I'm living proof of that!
It's okay for the mother to be angry, but she has to understand her daughter is extremely lucky she didn't kill herself on impact!! Having a neck injury like that paralysis was obvious!! (I don't even know if being paraplegic is possible with that amount of trauma, I'm an EMT not a neurologist)
Frankly wouldn't death be a better option, you pretty much can't do anything
I mean, this is a TV show, and I'm not an EMT or doctor. I'm just someone who couldn't walk for three years, and now I have trouble walking and I have severe pain in my back and legs 24/7 due to malpractice.
If someone gave me the choice of never waking up, or waking up paralyzed from the neck down- I'd pick the former. I'm sorry, unless a person is EXTREMELY wealthy, the quality of life just isn't there. And if a mistake or injury was made, that absolutely needs to be addressed and there needs to be a reevaluation to see if something else could've been done to preserve her live AND her mobility.
@@MissSpaz There wasn't, because it's a tv show.
I figured I'd come give my story, as a survivor of a severe neck break. Lady plowed into the back of my friends car and sent us flying and rolling. The impact burst fractured my C5, it collapsed a lung, lacerated my spleen, broke my wrist and fingers on one hand, destroyed one hip and tore discs all up and down my spine. After the wreck, I could hear what was going on around me and hear my bestie freaking out but I couldn't speak or move. I kept trying, because my bestie was screaming my name in panic thinking I was dead. The initial break I was momentarily paralyzed, due to the shock of the break. Thankfully a nurse got to scene driving by and kept me from moving until paramedics got there. In the hospital I was in icu for a week. The neurologist that was handling me incase I needed immediate surgery for the neck told my parents I was very VERY lucky and that out of all the patients he'd seen with my neck injury were paralyzed from the neck down or dead. I did suffer some permanent nerve damage and eventually had to have a titanium plate put in, and though I have terrible migraines and neck pain on and off...I feel very blessed to still be alive and to be able to walk. The wreck damaged other discs in my back so I deal with severe chronic pain and still need a hip replacement after 2 hip surgeries from a torn labrum as well but...I use it and push myself. I handle my pain as best as I can and I have my bad days and my good days but I'd never have chosen to just die.....the torment that puts on a parent is terrible....so I'm thankful my parents didn't loose me
@@MissSpaz considering it's a pretty basic TV show i would bet money that there was nothing in that instance that could have beem done better
without even watching the episode i would guess the rest of it focusses on the intubation part as the mother tries to get the paramedic lady in jail. considering she's one of the main characters it will be undoubtedly proven that she was right to do what she did
I’m a quadriplegic, so this story definitely hit home since I broke my neck snowboarding 9 years ago.
So then how are you typing.
How are you
@@beesimone3073 quadriplegic is a very misunderstood term. It doesn’t mean you can move your arms at all. It means your function depends on the level you broke your neck. I got luck, at my level of injury I should have floppy hands and I have about 70% of my hand function. With that said I have friends with my arms and hand that can still send texts and reply. They use a mouth stylist or voice recognition.
@@beesimone3073learn the difference between quadriplegia and paraplegia.
@@f15mech1stff I saw one guy whose device was adapted so he could control it with his eyes. He was as busy as could be, interacting on social media.
I thought a broken neck meant instant death. The fact you can survive is astounding to hear.
It depends on where your neck is broken. Anything that fractures the first three vertebrae of your neck (C1, C2, C3) can instantly kill you. But breaking lower down on your neck can be potentially survivable. Still incredibly dangerous.
@@fabplays6559 plus it depends on the fracture. It's not about the bones, it's about the nerves - if the bones are cracked a bit, it might be ok. But if the spinal cord is damaged, then it's life-threatening.
@@fabplays6559 if it’s just the bone it isn’t deadly even in those first three vertebrae. The problem is a laceration of the spinal cord.
it's better to die though
i'd prefer death, living with broken neck i imagine is one of the worst things possible.
I guess when she realized how much it's gonna cost her to care for a paralyzed child, she decided it was time to sue.
Orrrrr, she’s devastated that her daughter is paralyzed and will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life?
It's called America
@@machinmon. LOL AMERICA 😂😂😂😂😂
and when she realized her daughter's hopes and dreams would all be crushed now that she's paralyzed, ofc.
Suing the hospital was really her only hope of financial stability. The hospital bill alone will destroy the family, let alone the follow up care costs, possible need to revamp the house to be wheelchair accessible, the sudden news that mom is going to be a lifelong care giver to her disabled daughter, goodbye retirement, most likely her marriage (many marriages split up when such a thing happens). Goodbye college cheer scholarship, and possibly any savings meant for other kids futures. It's not just the horrible injury. She experienced that horrible injury in one of the worse countries in the world to be hurt in, oh sure they'll save her life, but only in America do you wish they hadn't.
I love how the bases just stood there and didn't even try to catch her lol
Like no hands up or out, no spotters, nothing lol
@@nikalicious2012 Yes lmao they're like "oops... yeah, she fell"
As a backspot myself that part was infuriating! Like what happened to putting yourself between the flyer and the ground? Now I know bases are meant to save the stunt but backspots are there to save the flyer! And if you’re aware that the stunt isn’t done with 100% consistency then you have spotters! (Even our more experienced stunt groups prefer to have frontspots with certain stunts that one first glance can look routine)
Like you practice for things like this. You protect the flyer from falling always 😮
@@agapi1904 Ohhhhh really???? I hAd nO iDeA 🙄
This reminds me of my childhood friend Megan… she flew off a 4 wheeler in her teens and went head first into a railroad tie. She barely survived she was life flighted. She passed away in 2022 she literally went into cardiac arrest due to issues from that accident with the 4 wheeler. She was a childhood friend but I can still remember everything we did together she was so funny and the best friend a girl could have. RIP Megan!
Dam…
One mistake ------- and we're outta here !
🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 That one moment changed her whole life! I can feel chills running down my body hearing the story of your friend. I can also see from your story that she must have been a shining presence in the lives of all those who loved her. RIP, Megan!
Womp womp
as a former firefighter i SCREAMED at the moments of complete disregard for either protocol , safety of the patient , handling of the patient lmao
Ah yes. Smart move mom. Allow your child to participate in an EXTREMELY dangerous activity, and then blame the hospital when your child breaks her neck and paralyzes herself.
Cheerleading is dangerous?
@@beluga101 as you can clearly see
@@beluga101 any sport with stunts and such be dangerous when you think about it
@@beluga101 i mean theoretically. Getting tossed feet into the air and/or holding people over your head has risks but that's why they have practices in cheerleading to minimize those risks
@@beluga101 yea the girls that get thrown up in the air sometimes don't get caught .
That delivery of the "Looks like you might be a little chilly, are you chilly? You know what, I'm gonna get you a blanket" line felt so normal, like in hospitals in real life. The next time I hear someone say something in that way in the hospital, I'm going to be paranoid she's actually trying to stay calm in the face of an emergency!
No, it was an excuse to leave the room and call the other doctor. Since when do doctors fetch blankets.
@@genxx2724Read that again. That's what I'm saying--you can hear the hidden panic. Why would I be paranoid if the doctor is actually going to get a blanket? Lmao!
@@zoyadulzura7490 Idk what was wrong with me earlier. 🤷🏻♀
@@zoyadulzura7490 She knew the nerves were dead.
Stop yapping
The girl holding her literally had ONE JOB and that was to NOT Let go!!!
it’s easy for the foot to slip off. she was already wobbling, the foot being grabbed is only for visual effect, it’s like she’s doing a lib, no weight is on the foot being grabbed
Hard to believe how one accident can leave someone with a lifetime of hardship. 😢
In my case not really as I have both gone trough it and seen it happen to others a lot.
It's tv not real life
Not just that person, but the family that has to car for her as well.
@@andrewjoyce9038It’s TV, Yes. But it does happen in real life. Remember what happened to Christopher Reeve?
@@gracealexandre3381 yes I know but people take TV programmes too seriously
she is VERY lucky to be alive. an injury of that nature, to the depths it is, does not have a high survival rate, let alone a high rate where survivors become fully mobile again. although not impossible, it’s highly unlikely and blaming a doctor for a freak accident that happened in a sport, isn’t morally ok. now if there was medical misconduct, yes. but there wasn’t. having a stage of denial doesn’t warrant you into creating problems out of thin air just because you can’t deal with the reality of the situation.
I don’t see how being paralysed for life is the better outcome. If people are happy to live like that then good on em. I couldn’t.
@@MysticMythicalFoxProductions that’s true. no one would be satisfied. but blaming the doctors for doing all they did because of the outcome it had, is wrong. clearly she’d rather have her live with being fully paralyzed than dead and was told why the outcome was like that than what’s the point of trying to put blame on the doctors. that’s denial and not living in reality.
Really because I never met someone who is paralyzed from the neck down who by their own admission is only still alive because their family forces it...some fates are worse than death.
It’s a bloomin tv show
@@camleadbetter3611 Yes, and people can discuss a TV show is a comment section about the TV show, along with the fact that tragic accidents do in fact happen in real life
"Outside the lines again?"
That nurse should not have said that in front of a patient or patient's family
'Painting outside the lines again"
That is absolutely correct. Precisely to avoid situations like this.
The professional thing to do is to keep such criticisms or snarky comments in private between physicians, nurses and EMTs and only after a fault has been proven to have been committed to even consider telling that outside of the health professionals in charge.
@@maxi1ification yeah....she's a bit of an antagonistic character
Exactly. That was very unprofessional.
Wasn't she a doctor who said that
I was a cheerleader from 4th grade until college. This was in the 70’s and early 80’s. If we got hurt we would wrap it, tape it or bandage it and go back to cheering. We didn’t think anything about it. I’m glad that it is much safer now and that it is viewed as a sport instead of a activity
Breaks my heart. A girl that age, has to learn to do things very differently.
That’s life unfortunately bad times don’t discriminate
It's a tv show not reality.
It’s very much reality. Do you think things like this ONLY happen on TV.? What world are you living in?
My mom wrecked her car six years ago a few days before Christmas. She was taking me to my friends house so i could spend the night over there. She dropped me off, and on her way home she took the worse route than the one we took to get there and she was not familiar with the road. It was very snowy and black ice was everywhere, there is an invisible turn. It looks like a strait shoot but it takes a downhill left turn and there is no guardrail, she flipped her car four times in the field beside the turn. She is absurdly lucky that someone was behind her and they Immediately called ems. I got a call around 9:00 PM that she was on her way to the hospital and my dad came and picked me up, she was in surgery for hours and hours. When I finally got to see her she looked like a ghost, her head was cracked all the way across has a lot of staples, and she looked horrible. A few days later she woke up, and she was told by the doctors that she broke her c1 c2 and c4 vertebrae along with a broken rib, severe nerve damage and multiple other broken bones. She was told she would never walk again. She spent the next 8 months in the hospital and after a lot of rehab she finally got to go home. It started out with therapy eventually she stopped seeing the therapists, and I then started working with her to help circulate blood and try and build up lost muscle in her limbs from not being able to move. Today she can walk, even got her drivers license renewed. On her 52 birthday in November, she was even driving my dads UTV on a gravel trail and on the main road (it’s street legal). All that after the doctor said she wouldn’t walk again. Now she’s not completely normal, her neck is fused downwards and has very limited movement with her fingers and her left leg. But she can walk, drive, write, she still cleans with the help of her aids that come in daily. I always kept her motivated when she was recovering, you never know what’s going to happen and it was truly a miracle
Your mom’s a miracle! Hope you and your family are doing well. ♥️
She did not deserve to go through all of that :[ I hope her suffering has severely lessened and only blue skies and happiness from now on

So v v glad your mum came out tops in this very difficult trial. Thumbs up for your helping her to not give up too
No doctor gives good news first and reassures you. My experience is that they always tell you the bad news
In my experience at hospitals, they didn’t tell me anything until after a surgery
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Doctors hate giving bad news, but (from my understanding) they loathe giving good news.
afilali12 - Yep, and they make it sound as bad as possible, so that when it doesn't actually come to that, they look REALLY GOOD. Seen it happen enough times to figure out what they're doing!
It's ultimately the parent's fault for allowing their child to participate in such a dangerous activity. In 2002 alone, cheerleading lead to 16,000 ER visits. In another year, 567 injuries occurred... 83% of those occurred during practice. It is considered the most Dangerous Sport for Girls in the United States.
Something like this happened at my work. I worked at a convention center and we had a lot of cheerleading and dance competitions and during a cheer competition a girl fell from the top of the pyramid. She broke her ribs, punctured her lung and died a couple days later. We were right across the street from a hospital so there was no delay in care and we always had EMTS on site during events.
I think if in the moment she told the mom "we have two options, we leave her how she is and transport her and she probably dies because she doesn't get oxygen, OR we move her neck so we can intubate but it might cause paralysis. Pick your poison". Mom can't be mad if it was her own call knowing the risks.
The daughter probably would've died while the mom struggled to make a decision.
would have sued for the emotional damage, if forced to decide the mother could argue she made a choice under pressure, something everyday people are not trained for. also the mother would likely then blame herself for whatever the outcome would be. its a situation you cant win.
@@ITechHero wrong, she can’t sue
@@ITechHero She could have sued all she wanted, but I think if she'd made the decision the courts would rule it was an act of God that placed her in the position, not any human she could blame for it. Most states also have Good Samaritan laws--it's almost impossible to sue a paramedic or first responder in a situation like this unless you can prove radical negligence or incompetence. And you often can't sue a layman, even one who made the situation worse, if they were attempting to help while waiting for professionals. It's to protect people who act in good faith only to run afoul of someone like this mother, who's just looking for someone to blame.
Firstly she isn’t medically trained to now the full repercussions of the decisions she is making and if your going to give that choice then that’s like asking “do you want a tourniquet on you femoral bleed where you could possibly loose your limb!! By the way you have 30 seconds to decide or you’ll die from blood loss!!
I'm the captain of my college cheer squad, one of my girls actually passed away after falling off out famous really tall pyramid last year. Her death hit me hard because she and I got along so well, her name was Lily, and she was one of my star girls
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Just terrible.
@@user-ms3jz7ub7n Thanks, her death was the hardest for me because we did everything together
Sorry, you had to go through that. I hope you don't blame yourself. Accidents are horrible but that's what they are...accidents. We have no control over what happens.
@@dianab9267 I never blame myself, I miss her so much
@@dianab9267 Is that really an accident? In the name of "cheerleading"?.....😒
Even though this is a show it still shows how fast and how easy your whole life can be changed
Medical professionals are always the scapegoat. One of the most thankless professions in the world and responsibilities for injuries are very rarely blamed on the reason, the person or whomever, whatever caused the injury
It's weird she didn't try to block her fall. Usually it's instinctive to put your arms up to protect your head.
And the bases and spotters are supposed to (try to) catch whoever is falling. Everyone was just like "meeh" lol
I agree with both these comments.
If the cheerleader characters did all those normal things then there would be no storyline for the show!
@@mck1542 they can at least try but fail to catch her. They were just "😀" without moving hahahahahahaha
You do realize it is a show?
I have seen people get limited movement back in some body parts YEARS after this type of thing. While it’s not always the case, it’s best to not give up. There is a chance and it’s worth taking. Lots of hard therapy later you never know how you will be.
So true, i was hit by vehicle walking had 17 bones broke 6 were in my back. Im still in some pain and it took me a year to walk but ive made it. At one point my mom was taking me off life support but i made it. Noone really knows results and things can turn around sometimes
Yep. There are many stories of people walking again after being told that they would never walk.
nerves regenerate at the rate of 1 inch per month. If the nerve has to regenerate from the spine, it could take a few years before you have feeling in your legs again.
I was a flyer a long time ago. I had an accident that left me with 3 surgeries and back injuries for life. That was 30 years ago. When I see what these girls do, now, I get anxiety. The sport has become too dangerous. Dial it back. These are young girls
So heart wrenching to look at. Heal sweetheart. Prayers.
I respect the compassion but this ain't real bruv
She angers me. It’s her daughters life to her being paralyzed. And her blaming what doctors do. They can do only so much :/
You always try to blame someone when a tragedy happens, it's a human thing, i blame the doctors when my father died, even though my father's illnes didn't have a cure, i blamed myself for not being able to spot something wrong with him then I blamed god for its unfairness.
@@22espec Prayers to your family🙏🏼
its her daughters life ofc shes acting like that… shes under shock and denial?
One of the stages of grief is anger. It's a normal reaction. A quick tempered judgement, but not out of tue blue. People tend to think there's and order with denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, but it can happen in any order, skip stages, or repeat stages.
It's a TV show, It's not real OP. wasting your anger on fiction.
I had a patient in the hospital suffer from an internal decapitation. She was in her teens I believe and broke her neck from a car accident. Anytime we had to suction her or move her she would start to crash. This was about 12 years ago when I was an RT (respiratory therapist) student going through clinicals. I was also a medic for about 10 years at the time. This is a devastating injury to have. Probably the worst there is!
Does this type of injury always result in being paralyzed if you survive?
@@john187a 70% of those who have this injury die immediately and I believe another 15% die while in the hospital. If the spinal cord is severed along with the decapitation then you will remain paralyzed from the neck down. They call this an “internal decapitation” because all of the ligaments and so on holding the skull to the spinal column is severed basically leaving the skull “floating” on its own. It’s not attached to anything anymore. Apparently the veins and arteries can also face damage leading to strokes. I’ve only seen 1 person with this and it was when I was in clinicals when I was in my respiratory therapy program. Anytime we suctioned her or moved her her heart rate plummeted. I suspect she probably didn’t survive but I don’t know. I believe her spinal cord was severed which means she would be permanently paralyzed. These injuries are thankfully very very rare. It’s one way I wouldn’t want to die or to suffer lifelong paralysis that way and having my heartbeat plummet just from being stimulated. Awareness during cardiac arrest is super rare also and I’ve seen two of those and most people have never seen awareness during a cardiac arrest. We probably have a higher chance of being struck by lightning than to have either of these conditions. Both are two ways I wouldn’t want to go through.
Did she survive?
@@brandonkashinsky9222 I don’t know unfortunately. If I had to guess I would say probably not. If her heart rate and blood pressure are going to plummet with simple stimulation my guess is that during one of these episodes they were not able to get the vital signs up but that’s just a guess. She was a quadriplegic from the accident as well. If it was me I wouldn’t want to live like that! I have several disabilities going on to where I’m in the hospital too often with life threatening infections but I can still survive on my own. This girl would crash just from suctioning her or moving her. Can’t imagine living like that. I do wonder from time to time about her though.
@@debrakleid5752 Didn't Christopher Reeve also suffer from an "internal decapitation" caused by a fall off his horse head first on the ground? He died from cardiac arrest after being given an antibiotic for a bed sore infection. I don't remember exactly as it was almost 20 years ago now.
I was in middle school when one of our flyers fell and shattered her knee cap. It was super traumatizing. I can’t watch stunts without holding my breath now.
Watching Netflix’s Cheer had me constantly screaming “catch your flyers!”
As an EMT I hate when hospital staff or any other medical provider states things they shouldn’t in front of the pt’s family. It opens us all up for questions and lawsuits
Don’t get me wrong, he looks okay as a paramedic, but I think everyone agrees that he looks way better as a lieutenant for a firehouse
Absolutely 🥹 Love Sev
I have no idea what station he transferred too when he became an EMT but it seems to be a cut below the crew at Firehouse 51 and a bad career move......or a desperate one, the script writing and acting was horrible.
@@TheMegaAsh huh? You know that this isn't Chicago Fire right?
@@TheMegaAsh What, I hope you’re joking lmao
@@huntertiburzi6437 yes, I know this isn’t Chicago Fire. I have no idea what crappy show this is but it is clearly not Chicago Fire. It was sarcasm, I was acknowledging the fact that I recognised him as the character Severide from Chicago Fire and making a joke.
Neck-down paralysis is the WORST! Imagine NOT being able to floss your teeth when something is stuck in them and it's PAINFUL, or scratch your face when it feels itchy (among other COMPLEX things)!😢
Oh, that's the biggest problem????!!!
Imagine not being able to move at all, aside from your face muscles. Not flossing is the least of a paralysed person's problems.
It’s so cool of Severide to do a ride along with the paramedics every once in a while.
At least one person realised it is a TV drama not real life
Severide seems nicer than usual here
A guy I grew up with was on a swim team and dove and hit his head on the bottom of the pool and was paralyzed for life. Humans weren't built for extremes. We never learn.
In my school, we had where the guardians had to have proof of medical insurance for being a cheerleader. It’s a lot more dangerous than it sometimes looks especially for the “flyers.”
I'm 90% certain that this was actually correct, minus the wasting time calling someone...ABCs take precedence over everything else, and Airway is *literally* the most important
And life before mobility (at least it is here in Denmark)
You are correct as far as initial treating the patient but it’s HRABC where H is hazard assessment to both yourself and the patient , R is response…….is the patient responding to stimuli such as audio or physical touch. Both H and R can be and generally are carried out as you approach the victim / patient and then as you say it’s ABC’s . The only thing that outranks that would be an excessive bleed such as an arterial bleed .
I know someone this happened to exactly like this. It was at a local college my friend went to. I met this girl and she was stunningly beautiful and really popular (and the head cheerleader) and one day she fell from some pyramid or something. I ran into her a couple weeks later at the dorm and she was more or less okay, but could never do anything athletic again. She was such a sweet girl and talked to me about my friend while I waited for her. Really sad for her because it's rare someone that popular and nice was such a genuinely good person.
So her mother allows her child to participate in a sport with these risks, and when she falls on breaks her neck, the mother blames the hospital and paramedics..
Top mother moves right there.
It's just a stupid TV show! 🙄
@@goosewhisperer6275 Mhm, yea. But these mothers exist Irl.
This does happen to cheerleaders. I’ve seen interviews with girls who are paralyzed because of cheerleading accidents. It’s because of this that my girlfriend and I both agreed that if we ever have a daughter, we will never let her be a cheerleader.
This rarely happens... Especially when you are coached correctly I've been doing coed stunting for 10 years and never had a injury
It's a drama tv show
that's an understandable decision, but if your future daughter really wants to be one, i would suggest having her try for song or drill instead!
@@JD-lt3wj yes but it could also be for educational purposes
Good decision. As parents you should do best for your children. And yeah sometimes they might really want something but as they grow up they will understand. If this kind of injury happens the pain isn't just from the injury. It's also the massive monthly bills.
She literally moved forward. The other girl already knew she was gonna fall as soon as she moved her footing out of her grasp. If the mom had been watching her daughter instead of the game, she'd know what happened. But nooo, she wants to blame the people who helped keep her alive.
That was honestly just poor editing and planning. The actress or stunt double was clearly prepping for the fall, and the edit shows the girl who was supposed to have her foot as she starts falling the cuts back to the girl right before she falls.
@@amariahlovelace5113 really? I had no idea. I thought it was real! This whole time, I guess real cheerleaders were just jumping to their death.
@@savanna8797 I’m talking about the part in your comment where you said she moved her foot out of the girls hand and the other girl knowing it was going to happen. And I was referring to how the edit was poorly put together and her looking too prepared for the fall ruined the affect of the fall. The clip where they show the other flyers reaction looked too planned when she takes her foot out of her hand when she’s supposed to be falling. Then it jumps to clip that shows the whole stunt and she’s just starting to fall again. No need to be rude, I was just pointing out that the way it looked, as you described it, was poorly presented.
Bru that ain’t the mom job wtf
Christopher Reeve had the same injury, his skill separated from the spine; however, the actual spinal column was bruised, but remained intact. Look at what happened to him. Some blamed the lay person who did CPR on him. The tentative thing that was done was the airway. They had to move her head to maintain an airway. Unfortunate but it happens. Cheerleading and gymnastics have a high rate of serious injury because no one who teaches it is properly trained.
I didn't know your skull could be detached from your spine and you could still survive... that's pretty insane to me
Yea quite crazy
I guess if the soft tissue (skin, muscle, blood vessels) is intact, your brain is still getting the blood it needs to sustain life, but jeez, that's a pretty precarious state to be in. The descriptor says it all: internal decapitation. 😱
A rare injury, almost always fatal.
spine is just meat and bone. It can heal.
The spinal cord is the real issue.
IT was not severed, so it's just a matter of controlling swelling and waiting for her to heal.
also a lot of swelling can prevent sensation ad control so she may still improve after a few weeks.
But if the nerve cord is cut, that's it.
"It appears that Jasmine will be paralized from the neck down."
"How is that possible?"
👁👄👁
'She broke her neck.'
26 years as a Paramedic and this is the first time I have ever seen RSI used for nasal intubation.
The way he said “ *I think she broke her neck* “ just made me giggle how he said it so calmly😅
i saw a documentary on internal decapitation before. The survival rate is extremely low. The recovery rate is even lower. The doc was about a teen who had this injury and fully recovered from it. He had to relearn how to move his whole body and do basic tasks again, but he fully recovered and can live a normal life. The doctor in the documentary said that he had only heard of 2 cases in which the person wasn't completely paralyzed from the neck down and that case was one of them.
The way there were no cheerleaders on the sides, keeping an eye on the Flyers is super concerning to me. There should be many watching just in case and the ones on the ground should be positioned in a way where catching their flyer is almost instant. NEVER LET YOUR FLYER FALL!!
I was there, gave her a standing ovation.
She lost her daughter basically, so it's natural she tries to get something out of it.
Now this kind of behavior is what makes lots of health care professionals reluctant to help cuz they know if they do, they'll be entangled in big lawsuits, so letting the patient go sometimes is easier.
I work with lots of scared doctors and nurses it's unfortunate.
In real life the concerned parent would be picking up and shaking the child all about, worsening the damage. Uncontrollable parents panic (excused as love) is so dangerous.
When I was in high school PE class, we were doing hand stands with "spotters." I got up in the air, but when I fell, the spotters just stood by and let me crash down on my knee. The pain was excruciating, but luckily nothing was broken. Sometimes I wonder if the spotters deliberately failed to catch me, hoping that I would be severely injured. Yeah, wretched animals like that were in that class.
I'm a cheerleader. Same thing happened to a girl at world's. She fell off the stage and broke her neck.
Did she survive?
That other Girl that didn't manage to grab her in time is gonna feel guilty for the rest of her life...
most convincing neck break fall I've seen
I sense sarcasm
she didn’t want to take care of her once she found out she was paralyzed for life, what a mom💀
Erm, Where did you get this from? She never once said she didn't want to take care of her daughter at all. Her mom was upset and angry, it's a natural response, one of the first responses to something this devastating is anger, you want to put the blame on someone else. It's not right but it's natural.
It’s America! Meaning it’s going to bankrupt the family cos pretty much any medical bill can but a lifelong injury like this is big money.
@@amburrelizabeth1572 “like a lawyer for example” so a natural response is to sue? Lmao ok whatever you say.
@@1t1s.what.1t1s it is actually, it's natural to want to assign blame for something like that, it's not right, but it's natural to want to assign blame and by wanting to Sue that is what she is doing.
As a former high school and collegiate cheerleader, I can tell you that the way she fell should never happen. There is ALWAYS extra spotters around when doing stunts, not to mention the physics of that pyramid would not cause her to fall that way. She would have had to do that on purpose to fall like that, and again there should have been someone spotting that. I have been accidentally dropped but I never hit the ground without at least someone's hands slowing me down on the way to lessen the fall. There is a correct way to fall to help others catch you... this is not it.
isn't that wrong to fix someone's neck after a trauma?
Typically, you don't want to move someone's neck after an accident because if it is fractured you risk doing damage to the spinal cord and can leave a patient paralyzed or worse. However, sometimes there are instances where you need to do what is best for the patient. They needed to bag her and put a C-collar on to stabilize her neck from further damage, and you need a patient's head to be more mid-line for that usually. Her being paralyzed wouldn't have been as bad as her losing her life on the scene had they been unable to bag. In the real world, they stabilize the patient and would either get c-spine xrays or a CT head and neck to check for damage before a doctor clears them for manipulation of the neck.
She wasn't breathing. With a head or neck injury it is ok to move someone if they are in a dangerous situation. This isn't an ideal situation but it was necessary to save her life.
@HangulHeroine honestly that's up to the person if I was paralyzed and passed out and found out they saved me I would be mad
Yeah, I remember losing my sight if I tried to look to the front when I broke my neck
Goes back to the ABCs (airway, breathing and circulation). That takes priority over spinal injury. If they are not breathing, they will be dead in minutes. Need to line up the head to do rescue breathes. If she went into cardiac arrest, they would do compressions even with the spinal injury.
As a cheerleader myself, it got to be because no one should have fell from a stunt especually not from extintion. Glad shes ok. The reason why she fell was wither because the bases didnt have her foot correctly or she wasnt squezzing from being on one leg. Praying for her tho
My guy this is a tv show
Wait, you are a cheerleader and your name is also Jasmine? That is a spooky coincidence.
I’m a front-spot and this is a perfect example of why there should always be a front-spot or two to catch the flyer, I could tell the bases didn’t have a good grip on the foot
As a cheerleading coach, this is actually very common every now and then. The flyers and tops know this is a risk that could happen and is why parents sign a form to release coach's of liability. Falls, scrapes, dislocations all common. The bottom spotters with back up spotters are there for this reason however, When spotting even when a flyer team work and placement is everything. Without that you get what just happened. The one that fell not paying attention to where she has her foot so not in reach of the under flyer. The bottom spotters not firmly gripping and the displacements. Leading to the nasty accident. So blame on this is on not only the coach but the piramid team for not properly working together and watching placements.
I didn't know Anastasia Griffith was on this show! I watched her in Once Upon a Time! Glad to see she had some bigger roles :)
i also think the cheerleader that fell played Octavia Blake in The 100
why on earth didnt the school staff force everybody out
this isnt a spectacle, they are in the way
you mean like how they force everyone out during hockey and football games?
No spectators prevented the coach or paramedics and firefighters from arriving.
@@wcresponder sure, but as soon as it was clear she was injured and could not be moved, they should not have been allowed to stay and watch as though it were any of their business
@@milesmoore2701 so you would clog the door ways and possible cause anger issues and injury.
And what about those there to support the injured party.
It is just that a spectacle...an unfortunate one, and human nature to gawk and stare and oogle and support and well wish and assemble will always be there.
Bravo! Very well done. If not for the tell tale MD tv in the title anyone could swear it’s the real accident.
The same thing happened to a girl at my school when I was in high school. They accidentally dropped her and she hit the gym floor. She landed on her head. First few days they weren't sure if she was going to live. That's how bad her injuries were. In the end she did survive but she ended up being a quadriplegic for the rest of her life. She also had a traumatic brain injury. It was incredibly terrifying and heartbreaking. She never returned to school. She was only 17. 😢
Most people really have no idea how dangerous cheerleading actually is. One wrong move, one wrong hand slip and that's all it takes to do horrific damage. That doesn't even touch on the other extremely common injuries. Like sprains, strains , broken bones , pulled muscles and back injuries that are considered "minor" injuries.
I hate how these types of situations turn out… Her being alive isn’t good enough and it sucks
He’s better as a firefighter, only true fans will know
I thought that was severide!
Or a werewolf
He sounds a bit younger and feels a bit funny to see him in this role
This was before Chicago Fire.
This is why I’m scared to continue my journey in cheerleading because I’ve fallen and broken my leg once while falling from a stunt and who know what could happen next
People are always quick to sue when something doesnt turn out the way they hoped
Blaming someone is a natural reaction.
Also, in the USA, that family just went bankrupt.
They HAVE to sue to have any kind of life.
Idk why but it made me tear up a bit just hearing it.
It was the medics call and a good one
I was dropped in a cheer stunt when I was 12 years old and hit my back and head. I couldn't see or breath for a minute. I crawled to the bleachers and they didn't even stop the game. I was lucky there were no injuries except a bruised spinal cord. And bruised shoulder.
i’m not sure how similar they are, but a family member was internally decapitated but luckily he was so in shape (cage fighter etc) that he eventually even got the metal taken out of his neck and is fully functional now (some limited mobility in head turning but he does lots of races and superman’s i think they’re called) he’s very lucky to be alive
I like that Severide is a paramedic as well as a fireman, now he just needs to be a cop.
He was also a werewolf
I was legit shocked to see that this show is more than a decade old. It doesn't look it.
What show is this?
The cgi does tho
When you are a cheerleader, make sure you have control and steady, and make sure you have a good grip on the feet of the person, it would really help
It really Good that Jasmine survived but also surprising because of the state of the fall but I’m happy she survived good ending and I hope she feels better soon
It’s always somebody else’s fault 🙄
i would feel bad but remember they are about to get a bill for upwards of a million dollars from the hospital who is to blame for that. i used to feel bad but hospitals brought it on themselfs.
@@hardwirecars The mother seems to be forgetting that she supported her daughter's cheerleading - will she assign blame to herself for the injury occurring in the first place? I doubt it. Point is, nothing stands in isolation

It’s very sad to what happened to this young girl, but it’s most unfortunate what her Mam think and planning to sue the doctors, that is why you think twice to help someone , because people like that.
I agree a hundred percent they should have been paying attention. I just wonder why the coach didn't run over as soon as he saw her falling. Or maybe he didn't see her falling. We will never know😮
Looking to blame the hospital when they were up front about how severe a neck insure like that was. Lady...her skull was LITERALLY detached from her spine!!
This can happen! It actually happened to a cheerleader once. Very sad
This where quality of life needs to be respected.
Ok. So for those interested in medical. NO- Lack of c spine stability is not a contraindication to assist breathing if breathing assist is needed, which is not uncommon in traumatic head/neck injuries- Yes they would be called into question if the call was ran by a medical director. B- no paramedic is putting in a midline. Maybe a central line in flight for patients requiring specific medications, but no 911 crews in a system as large as chicago are doing anything other than a standard IV or IO. And if you were calling for orders, the medical direction would obviously have the authority to say yes. The idea that they can't would indicate that not only would it not be in the medics protocols, but they would not have the required meds to do an "RSI"- (Rapid sequence intubation/induction) cause the paralytics involved are only carried for such a procedure. The fact that you RSI'd the patient also makes it NOT a load and go. That being said they did a good job with talking through the orders of RSI though an actual RSI takes a bit longer as preoxygenation takes at least 3 min as time allows.
I understand this is a TV show, but some of these could easily be caught by most paramedics. Definitely go to fire dept chronicles and watch Jason Patton roast medical shows for their inaccuracies (as well as learn the ight way to do things).
@FireDepartmentChronicles
The fact that an RSI is outside the scope of practice for any ground workers in California also means there's 0 chance they'd have access to the drugs required for a safe RSI as from what I could see they don't carry a paralytic like Rocuronium or Succinylcholine.
1:22 You know someone is good at this rescue stuff, when his face looks like Severide!
