Just got my August S&T windchime box! I'm not positive what the point of having dye for the silicone molds is though...gonna have to go watch some YT tutorials on that...
Maybe if a hyperbolic Karen sees this video & rages "what's next, explosives?!" we can get a "rocket scientist NerdEBarbie" testing STEM kits that launce a model rocket build in the yard 🚀🧨😉
Me who sews for a living- someone’s probably already said this but the “running stitch” you did was actually what we call a blanket stitch. You looped the thread back over the needle when pulling it out the other side. It’s actually a super strong stitch and for sure my go to for sewing fabric by hand but I don’t think I’d recommend it on a human hahah
some threads can be absorbed into the skin and don't need to be removed, while others can't be absorbed and have to be removed. my dad is close friends with a plastic surgeon, so I learned that pretty early
My aunt fell and cut her head open and she don't like the hospital so she sowed her head close and she still hasn't been to the hospital and that was almost 4 years ago
This was fun to watch and took me back to university. Every surgeon learned suturing more or less like that. And @NerdECrafter: the reason why your suture with the ketchup looked strange is because you sometimes went under and sometimes in the loop you created with the end of the thread. What you were supposed to do were Lembert sutures (I guess) and you did lock stitch (my favorite btw). And: Reusable suture needles do exist. Also using suture/thread out of a big box is cheaper, so we do use it a lot in veterinary medicine. But yes, one then has to start threading in the middle of surgery. Luckily we usually have great assistants by our sides to prepare everything. Love to all you vet nurses/techs/assistants out there :)
@@TracyLynnAP Thank you :) It is good to know and sometimes hear or read that there are still many people who appreciate other people's work. We (as a society) should do that so much more. Have a great day!
You know... she also said "dentistry." Fun fact, they now use a kind of uv resin like material to fill cavities? There could be something there... like "Filling a cavity, WITH ART! *FOR SCIENCE!* "
@@nerdecrafter I can imagine you buying the stuff to make dental casts and then making prosthetic teeth. Either that or those non-toxic moldable plastic beads.
Patient: "I am bleeding" Dr. Jackie: "Have you tried Tylenol?" As a recent medical graduate, I wish I could have been as efficient in my studies lol Loving the videos!
I went to the ER with a horrible bladder infection after having an abdominal Hysterectomy. Due to bladder injury during surgery I had to have a catheter for 12 miserable horrid days. At the ER I asked for something for the pain, after all I was just released from a 3 night stay in the castle, the male nurse named Shannon, told me to go home and take extra strength Tylenol. After all, you are the medical professional telling a woman that just had a full abdominal hysterectomy only 3 days prior that presented with a bad bladder infection to go home and take Tylenol. I was not happy. Hell, if I had to go home for medicine I would just have taken the pain medicine I was prescribed. Yeah, not a great experience.
@@owllovingapril Yikes. I'm so sorry. Also I've had a friend warn me because I'm very shy with doctors that a lot of doctors unfortunately tend to very commonly underplay women's pain or assume it's less than they are suggesting.
This is how I imagine Jackie came up with this series after trying a sewing craft kit: "Ugh, this is no fun. I hate fiber crafts! Maybe I can just try sticking these needles into people instead....🤔"

Karen: how dare you experiment with stuff, expand your horizons, and even provide disclaimers for the idiots. Jackie: well now I'm gonna do what I want but twice as hard.
Don’t I shouted from the UK, this video bought me back so many memories, although rarely had simulation kits, pigs trotters from the butchers was what we practiced on.
Being the most professional doctor that you are Jackie I thought you might wanna know the "scissors" you picked up first with the locking mechanism around actually called hemostats. They are used for tying the sutures closed among other things! Keep up the good work and I'm sure you will get your white coat in no time! Lol I seriously love everytime I see you have uploaded
@@sesshomaruslover1 I'm a vet tech (animal nurse) and in school we always called them needle drivers. I did a quick Google search and it says the major difference is that needle drivers have short blunt beaks and are stronger than hemostats. 😊 There are two major types of needle drivers one called Mayo Hegar and the other Olsen Hegar that have a sissor built in. The one Jackie has in the kit are Mayo Hegar.
I'm a former OR nurse (mostly did circulating but occasionally scrubbed) and I was screaming "they're not scissors they're hemostats!" and then Jackie called me out on my yelling. Edit: In my experience, hemostat and needle drivers are used interchangeably because the former can also be used to clamp down on blood vessels.
I'm a theatre nurse (OR) and we call them haemostats. It includes needle clamps, tissue holders and other forceps. It just depended on what the doctor (carded information along with needle and thread preferences). We just in our counts called them haemostats (five curved, five straight and so no). The running stitch was wrong because you brought the needle over the thread kind of like a blanket stitch. But awesome effort! Swabs are used for cleaning.
For me it looks like you've messed up the second one only because you looped and pull the string one under another, so they crisscrossed. If that makes sense 😅 Love you Jackie, keep Karens searching for new fun ideas 😅
‘“I can hear you all the way to Canada, stop yelling!” Me: *stops yelling and starts laughing….* no, I’m kidding, this is brilliant! Way to show those Karen’s too!!
This is a great video. Kudos for trying something new. I’ve been a surgical technologist for over 20 years and this video had me crying happy tears! I would be honored to come to Canada and assist Dr. Jackie with more surgery.
YES JACKIE!! The issue with the stitch is you are catching the tensioned string with your needle - like, with the string you're holding with your hand, it is overlapping with the "working" string... so instead of / / / / you get ]/ ]/. So you will want to keep the tension string to the left of the working string, like your second or third stitch!
I was a surgical vet tech for 4 years and this had me cackling! I was indeed shouting at the screen when you first looked at the tools and thinking the scalpel blades were the needle tips lol. Don't even get me started on your thoughts about threading the needle in the middle of surgery! Thanks for the laughs!
Ive had to do sutures on myself (camping trip gone wrong not clickbait). I'm in mortuary school so I have some knowledge.....but tbh I think everyone should know basic suturing skills because....it can save yourself or others. And yes. I am an absolute badass for doing my own stitches. It's a great story to pull out at a party after a few adult beverages. Makes people squirm lmao.
As someone who's also had to do the same, I wish I could call myself a badass over it. 😂 In reality it could have been described only as "a mess" and "just slightly traumatizing".
@@hilaryg6293 Exactly! And then there’s the time my nurse practitioner sent me to get x-rays to see why my stomach was sore. I wait for 2 hours. Finally get to see the doctor, he touches my stomach and decides that since I’m not screaming in pain nothing could possibly be wrong with me. He recommends me non prescription medicine and I leave VERY angry. Like you couldn’t even do the X-rays to see?? That my personal nurse requested??
Yeah, as someone with several chronic illnesses who has been disabled and enduring the hell of constant doctor visits and specialists for nearly a decade now (technically my whole life, but I got a few years break), it’s WAY too accurate. Especially when you’re afab female presenting.
@@vampyrekyng_lex Reminds me I was in college and broke my finger playing volleyball. When I went to the male nurse he twisted my finger and told me, "If it were broken you'd be screaming." About a week later I saw another campus nurse and yeah, it WAS broken
@@lazyhomebody1356 Yeah, it's a sexist precedent in medicine, where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Howling in pain as an afab/female presenting person? Dramatic, hysterical, isn't that bad, just wants drugs. Completely silent? Eh, must not be that bad, you're fine, go take some advil, you don't need any drugs. It's even worse for women of color, since there are some medical text books that were used not long ago (Go watch Doctor Mike on this), that say "black people have a higher pain tolerance." Not only do women of color have to deal with sexism in medicine, they deal w racism.
Jackie, have you noticed that the doctor didn't let his strings cross each other when doing the running stitch? (apart from the knots ofc) That's the bit he did differently from you
@@karenurquhart5228 You pick it up directly with the needle driver and let go to do the knots. For the next suture, you pick it up again (which can be a challenge with the even tinier needles we use for vessels for example). Sure, sometimes we lose our patience and grab it carefully with our fingers, but I had attendings berate me for that because you really don’t wanna prick yourself 😅
Dr. Jackie, "I'm going to just give you Tylenol." You could be an Army medic! 😂 I love that you got all of these ideas from one sarcastic Karen. Keep up the amazing work!
Until you can get a doctor to look at it, it’s really best to use some butterfly bandages to hold together the wound (if it’s small enough), or wrap it tightly after disinfecting it. Otherwise you can trap an infection under the skin and end up with things like sepsis, which can kill in a matter of hours.
@@doubtful_seer True and true. If you're in a first world country and hospitals can easily be reached its best to get a Dr to look at it. If you're in an area with no hospitals, you have to make sure everything is sterile and that wound is cleaned out and sterile before you make any stitch.
we tend to use sterile gauze to wipe up "human ketchup". I love that exactly when you mentioned how small the needle was I was thinking "damn that's big". To be fair the only sutures I see are in the mouth and actually the running stitch is one the dentists I assist almost use exclusively. This was really funny to watch someone learn something that is kind of second nature knowledge to me.
The tattooing kit: oh you can tattoo yourself here are some gloves be safe. The piercing kit is also like: oh you can Pierce yourself alcohol wipes and some gloves be safe. The surgical kit: hell no leave that to the doctor's this just play time you don't need no glove!
American healthcare is just as bad. I had a doctor whom I told about my allergies being pretty bad and told him about some meds one of my friends used for her allergies. He. Prescribed. Those. Same. Meds... changed doctor soon after that. Current doctor told me I didn't need those and told me over the counter would work just fine. Also, he made sure I got the right meds for my depression. The previous doctor didn't even bother to find out more about my depression and all that.
Have you tried losing a little weight? But doc, my arm is broken! A new diet and exercise regimen will have you feeling better than new! But... But my arm? Lose 20 pounds and come back in a month.
Sorry to be picky but the reason your stitches look wonky is because your needle was on the inside of the loop. You needed to keep the thread on the outside where the loop wouldn't catch it. I'm just gonna throw that out there. I'm no doctor but i know how to sew so that's why i said something. Thanks for the video though.
This kit isn't a great quality but there are some great practice skins. I'm a surgical tech and every doctor/resident/med school student has had practice skins. They really do help.
Actually I learned how to suture in while highschool for a few science classes. And this def has a place to have some basic knowledge for the 1st aid/emergency situations.
@@nerdecrafter you won't fully know how you will react to the blood until that scenario happens. But it is a skill more people just incase. And even if you can't look you could always help others
@@nerdecrafter unless it's a head wound, which IME you wanna glue anyhow, most wounds don't tend to bleed much after the first few minutes. By the time you're getting to the stitch or glue part, platelets are hopefully doing their job. 🤷🏼♀️ It really is a good skill to have, too.
I don’t wanna disencourage anybody and I love seeing people interested in the stuff we do, but amateur suturing in an emergency isn’t a good idea. One reason is the lack of hygiene/a sterile environment to avoid infections, another is the fact that doctors have to take a look at the wound, see how deep it is, if there’s any damage to nerves, vessels or other structures etc… Worst case if you suture a wound yourself without these steps is that you trap an infection under the skin where can’t get out 😬
I know that the Y insision is typically used for autopsies. Specifically chest autopsies and are used by coroners when inspecting a corpse to find a cause of death. They typically use alcohol whipes to clean up the wounds. 😂 This tool seems really cool and educational.
The moment I checked my notifications & saw that your clap-back against the Karens had progressed to spite-sewing, I started outright howling with glee & laughter 😆😂🤣
Your issue with the running stitch was when you pulled the needle through, it was caught in the "loop" that the thread you were keeping tension on made. That's why you have those sort of horizontal bits between the stitches. The stitch at 29:30 is the only one where it was held out of the way, so it doesn't have those extra bits and looks more like his. If you ever want to try this again, try holding the tension of the excess string off to the other side so it doesn't get caught when you pull it through. Source: I sew and I used to make this mistake a lot as a beginner.
Jackie I laughed so hard at this video. Especially when you were demonstrating threading a needle. Oh this is so funny. Just out of curiosity what is the age limit on this kit? Ha! I can't believe the kits that can be purchased. Thanks for making such entertaining videos.
I grew up with both parents in the medical field, and my mom worked as an operating room nurse, so I actually grew up playing with the instruments she sometimes brought home, both for our emergency kit, and occasionally for crafting. I considered becoming a doctor like my dad, but I'm not a people person, so it didn't happen, but I've inherited a deep curiosity for medical procedures, and way more knowledge about all kinds of surgeries for a non-professional. This kit looks super interesting! I don't know about the different filaments, but there are different types for stitching deeper tissues (which melt on their own), and different thicknesses, too. A cut on the face needs smaller stitches to avoid scars, but if you are getting a knee replacement, on a mobile area, the stitches need to be sturdy. And, if the cut is deep, there are usually the melting stitches in the deeper tissues to keep everything together, and then smaller stitches to keep the skin together. Fascinating stuff! Also, the scalpels and needles are really handy in crafting. I upholstered an armchair once, and mainly used a surgical needle to sew a decorative ribbon on it.
Well you did great! Also, the suture materials are different because some of them are made to dissolve. Typically, the nondissolvable kind is used for outer body parts and it's pretty thin so it blends in better, but the dissolvable sutures are great for things like organs and since it's *typically* used in a place where no one will see the scar, the gauge can be much bigger. I hope that wasn't tmi, lmao.
Good job Jackie. I was a First Aid instructor in the military. I still use my skills today by carrying a fully loaded first aid kit in my car including for sutures. You never know if you will see an accident and can save a life!
@@Armylady74 even if not to that extreme, blankets, hats and spare clothes are also important. after an event my mums car wouldnt start, i was sent home on the train but she had to stay with the car for the recovery people. it wasnt that late in the year but she was freezing and had barely any extra layers to put on. now theres a bunch of warm stuff and raincoats too in the back at all times!
@@themadkitkat9302 it’s always to that extreme. You never know if you will sit hours in traffic due to a accident or stuck in a winter storm. Clothes and blankets are always good to keep during the cold if something happens, along with freeze dried food and water.
@@Pazz_ARTZ sounds good. I keep military MRE’s meals with self heating and also military freeze dried food. I been stuck in traffic for 6 hours due to a accident. I was so glad I had my emergency food! You can also get water that is in pouches.
Ok this is actually really cool from Amazon! I grew up a HUGE health science nerd and was very into human anatomy and physiology. I remember I made a cute diagram of the human heart with clay and put little markers as to where each part of the heart was. I had dreams of being an EMT or a trauma nurse. But sadly, I went thru a huge depression, lost my mom and gave everything up. I even threw away my diagram. I'm still mad at myself for doing that. But, I plan to become a body piercer and body modification technician (doing tongue splits and ear pointing) and I feel like this would be cool to practice my stitching. Obviously I'm not gonna do them on myself but I always had this inquisitive brain as a child. I was known as a kinesthetic learner where I enjoyed hands on activities and projects in school. I just loved learning new things. I have a new lease on life after experiencing the worst 3 years of my life and coming out a stronger person. Thank you for your videos Jackie. I'm also a very crafty person and my favorite is resin work! Used to love getting those random art kits from my family during the holidays bc they knew I loved arts and crafts. It's a great coping skill of mine along with piercings and tattoos! Your crafts and reactions make me laugh and I love the passion you put in your videos with Sika. Never stop doing what you do! ❤️
“I’m a professional moron.” Oh Jackie. How I love you disturbing the Karens. So if I were to put a comment that would be very Karen like that would give you ideas, then you might do them. Yes! Evil Plans!
lol. Sewing up fake skin 'this is actually really relaxing!' Jackie...Jackie no. (btw I think the different kinds of string is because some are probably stronger. If you need to close a larger gap the wire/string needs to be strong enough so it doesn't snap when you pull the two sides of skin together. I also know about the kind of stitches that sort of dissolve by themselves so you don't have to go back and have them removed but I don't expect them to add those in a teaching kit.
Some of the threads are used for subdermal stitching I believe is what it's called and then the others are for the exterior stitching. And some are dissolvable stitches both stitches but I don't know which is which
i believe the issue with the running suture Jackie was that you were putting the hemostats above instead of under, causing the suture to tie a knot every time. Hard to describe lol. I only noticed because I sew a lot and it can also be a problem when hand sewing
I've taken several medical/anatomy courses during my Animal Science program (I now have a BS!) and one of the coolest parts was practicing sutures on raw chicken XD You Don't want to pull the closing knot super tight, you want the skin just flush so it heals more easily and doesn't leave lumps. Closer to the end of semester, we did a couple small meaningless surgeries on rats like neutering. We choose our rats before this and I picked the sweetest most social ones. It was very clear who had no experience with rats before. But that day, we spent the whole lab playing with our rats ♥️ I'm thankful to now have the experience and knowledge to possibly help in emergency situations and a great base of I wanted to go into a medical career in my field. And aseptic procedure 🙏 very important Also, different suture materials are for different types of cuts and locations. Like a nylon would be on the surface and be removed after a couple weeks (non absorbable). Whereas bio materials, we called it "catgut", would be used internally and would dissolve over time. And thicker guage would be used in thicker tissue. Like the size here could be used on small animals, all the way to people. But a cow would require thicker guage. Edit: it's an easy mistake, but the technique was not bad, you just didn't make sure each sure was free from the last. When doing the running stitch you don't want the next suture to be hooked on the last or it pulls like in the video and gets lumpy. 😅
A couple years ago I was trying to open a bag of carrots with a knife and uh my roommate had to take me to the ER. I had almost sliced off the tip of index finger. I wasn’t looking but my roommate said the doctor would stitch and human ketchup would pore out, he’d calmly wipe with a paper towel then continue stitching. It happened with every stitch he did and I got 6-7 stiches. The guy was funny. He said if I had gone further I wouldn’t had needed stitches and cleanly sliced the whole tip off
Gauze 4x4 used to clean up human ketchup but honestly most wounds will be infused with epi which stops the ketchup leakage. Some of the suture is dissolvable and some isn’t. Some you use for muscles and others for skin. Suture and needles also come in different sizes and shapes, cutting and non cutting.
As somebody who has trained to do suturing, this was an absolute delight to watch! I just wish we'd been allowed to use ketchup in our training sessions, too! XD
@@amandah2866 I mean, I could see it happening!! When we were learning to place IV lines the models were filled with syrup, and we got it everywhere!! 😂
My daughter and I were in the hardware store and she got so excited. What did she find? Hemostats. She just got her first job after 4 years in nursing school. It's the little things
So the reason yours looks different is because you are pulling the needle through inside the thread instead of outside. I'm no surgeon, but i do sew. If you pull the thread away from the spot where you go in with the needle and then pull the needle through it'll look the way the doctor has it. It's really hard to explain with words lol, so idk if i even helped
"Stop screaming, I can hear you from here." Well I should hope so - I'd be embarrassed to be a former theatre kid if you couldn't hear me yelling where you are from Boston. 😉 And don't worry, suturing is taught to maaaany people, not just doctors. Takes, I don't know - my class was maybe 90 minutes, and a good chunk of that was how to glue wound together without gluing yourself to the person. 😂
I got stitches when I was 5 and it was because I hit my chin on the gym floor and 2 doctors had to hold me down cuz I was screaming but half way through they turned on Mickey Mouse clubhouse
I still have scars but gotta tell a story so my aunt Jessie saved a child from haveing glass in their skin ❤and one of my daycare teachers saved a kid from a broken window ❤
"Did I mess up? No I didn`t mess up!" eeeehm. EEEEEEEHM... you did your best buuut you kinda messed that ongoing stich up but that technique is very good for decorating edges when sewing stuff with textiles :D.
I don't think learning how to suture is a bad thing. You never know if you're going to be able to get to the hospital to be treated. I think it should be a part of first aid certifications. Running stitches are often not used because they tear easier by the way.
Why do I feel like Jackie would be amazing in a crisis? I mean, there would be "Holy carp" moments, but then she'd bravely and awkwardly sew up the leader for the adventure to continue. Ketchup leakage may happen.
Coming up on the next NerdECrafter: Our host, Queen of the Salt, Jackie, learns how to insert a foley and an IV. I’m loving the content lately and the fact that one smart ass Karen birthed the idea.
0:30 here I’ll finish it for you: “two brains of the same grain” It has a double meaning: “grain” as in salt and being part of the salt shaker family, and “grain” as in wood grain, as if you and the person you’re comparing yourself to are both cut from the same tree. Perfect! 🙂
As a 10yr I was helping my grandfather spilt wood for winter with a log splitter. I wasnt paying much attention when I was controlling the lever... And well, I had my hand against the metal plate and the hydrologic ram and the wood. I crushed my pinkie and my ring finger. I had surgery 2 weeks later and had this massive scar that stays with me till this very day. Theme of this story:, pay attention when doing something dangerous. You may regret it. (True story)
Hello, Jackie! Love your content. As a doctor, I'm just commenting to say that... you did it wrong! xD Only with the continuous stitches. You passed your needle through the loop, so it got kind of crooked. Next time, try to keep your needle out of the loop and you'll get a nicer result. Also, I'd love to see you trying the mattress-stitch, I think you'd like the results it gives. Good job!
Thx for doing these type of videos. Like a person who is interested in tattoos and piercings and things like that, I'm glad that you make this type of content.I know that this isn't a good idea to be watched by kids,but there is something called RUclips kids so... If Karens aren't ok with this content, they can download RUclips kids for their kids so theg won't watch it 😁😅
I’m a vet tech & at my veterinary hospital for surgery we use “vicryl” which is similar to the filaments you have. The vicryl is used subcutaneously and is absorbable. We also use skin suture which are the sutures that you see on the outside of the skin. With skin suture, the doctor actually does have to thread the needle.
Depends though, there are lots of non absorbable suture materials for skin sutures that come with the needle attached as well. In my experience it strongly depends on the likes of the vets what they use.

This was fun to watch and took me back to university. Every surgeon learned suturing more or less like that.
And @NerdECrafter: the reason why your suture with the ketchup looked strange is because you sometimes went under and sometimes in the loop you created with the end of the thread. What you were supposed to do were Lembert sutures (I guess) and you did lock stitch (my favorite btw).
And: Reusable suture needles do exist. Also using suture/thread out of a big box is cheaper, so we do use it a lot in veterinary medicine. But yes, one then has to start threading in the middle of surgery. Luckily we usually have great assistants by our sides to prepare everything.

I went to the ER with a horrible bladder infection after having an abdominal Hysterectomy. Due to bladder injury during surgery I had to have a catheter for 12 miserable horrid days. At the ER I asked for something for the pain, after all I was just released from a 3 night stay in the castle, the male nurse named Shannon, told me to go home and take extra strength Tylenol. After all, you are the medical professional telling a woman that just had a full abdominal hysterectomy only 3 days prior that presented with a bad bladder infection to go home and take Tylenol. I was not happy. Hell, if I had to go home for medicine I would just have taken the pain medicine I was prescribed. Yeah, not a great experience.
@@owllovingapril Yikes. I'm so sorry. Also I've had a friend warn me because I'm very shy with doctors that a lot of doctors unfortunately tend to very commonly underplay women's pain or assume it's less than they are suggesting.
You know she's not a navy doc becuase she said Tylenol instead of water and ibuprofen.
This is how I imagine Jackie came up with this series after trying a sewing craft kit: "Ugh, this is no fun. I hate fiber crafts! Maybe I can just try sticking these needles into people instead....🤔"
And apparently it’s fun lol

Don’t I shouted from the UK, this video bought me back so many memories, although rarely had simulation kits, pigs trotters from the butchers was what we practiced on.
I can hear you all the to Asia too!!
Being the most professional doctor that you are Jackie I thought you might wanna know the "scissors" you picked up first with the locking mechanism around actually called hemostats. They are used for tying the sutures closed among other things! Keep up the good work and I'm sure you will get your white coat in no time! Lol I seriously love everytime I see you have uploaded
The first ones are needle drivers to hold the needle and the second curved ones are hemostats 😊
@@roxanebrite from my experience and the nurses in my family they are all technically hemostats
@@sesshomaruslover1 I'm a vet tech (animal nurse) and in school we always called them needle drivers. I did a quick Google search and it says the major difference is that needle drivers have short blunt beaks and are stronger than hemostats. 😊 There are two major types of needle drivers one called Mayo Hegar and the other Olsen Hegar that have a sissor built in. The one Jackie has in the kit are Mayo Hegar.
@@roxanebrite my mom is a Nurse and always called both the same unless there's a different one that isn't curved too
I'm a former OR nurse (mostly did circulating but occasionally scrubbed) and I was screaming "they're not scissors they're hemostats!" and then Jackie called me out on my yelling.
Edit: In my experience, hemostat and needle drivers are used interchangeably because the former can also be used to clamp down on blood vessels.
I'm a theatre nurse (OR) and we call them haemostats. It includes needle clamps, tissue holders and other forceps. It just depended on what the doctor (carded information along with needle and thread preferences). We just in our counts called them haemostats (five curved, five straight and so no). The running stitch was wrong because you brought the needle over the thread kind of like a blanket stitch. But awesome effort! Swabs are used for cleaning.
For me it looks like you've messed up the second one only because you looped and pull the string one under another, so they crisscrossed. If that makes sense 😅 Love you Jackie, keep Karens searching for new fun ideas 😅
I was yelling but I guess it didn't make it to Canada.

@@debraespey3968 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
YES JACKIE!!
The issue with the stitch is you are catching the tensioned string with your needle - like, with the string you're holding with your hand, it is overlapping with the "working" string... so instead of / / / / you get ]/ ]/. So you will want to keep the tension string to the left of the working string, like your second or third stitch!
I was a surgical vet tech for 4 years and this had me cackling! I was indeed shouting at the screen when you first looked at the tools and thinking the scalpel blades were the needle tips lol. Don't even get me started on your thoughts about threading the needle in the middle of surgery! Thanks for the laughs!

“I didn’t hear anything you said but I’m just gonna give you Tylenol” this..is painfully accurate. I have not had good experiences with doctors
I can’t even count how many times I’ve been told that it’s probably stress and I need to relax 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@hilaryg6293 Exactly! And then there’s the time my nurse practitioner sent me to get x-rays to see why my stomach was sore. I wait for 2 hours. Finally get to see the doctor, he touches my stomach and decides that since I’m not screaming in pain nothing could possibly be wrong with me. He recommends me non prescription medicine and I leave VERY angry. Like you couldn’t even do the X-rays to see?? That my personal nurse requested??
Yeah, as someone with several chronic illnesses who has been disabled and enduring the hell of constant doctor visits and specialists for nearly a decade now (technically my whole life, but I got a few years break), it’s WAY too accurate. Especially when you’re afab female presenting.
@@vampyrekyng_lex Reminds me I was in college and broke my finger playing volleyball. When I went to the male nurse he twisted my finger and told me, "If it were broken you'd be screaming." About a week later I saw another campus nurse and yeah, it WAS broken
@@lazyhomebody1356
Yeah, it's a sexist precedent in medicine, where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Howling in pain as an afab/female presenting person? Dramatic, hysterical, isn't that bad, just wants drugs. Completely silent? Eh, must not be that bad, you're fine, go take some advil, you don't need any drugs.
It's even worse for women of color, since there are some medical text books that were used not long ago (Go watch Doctor Mike on this), that say "black people have a higher pain tolerance." Not only do women of color have to deal with sexism in medicine, they deal w racism.
Jackie, have you noticed that the doctor didn't let his strings cross each other when doing the running stitch? (apart from the knots ofc) That's the bit he did differently from you
I came here for this. Lol. She was basically doing "running knots" instead of a stitch. She got one of the stitches right! Lol
I was literally yelling at the screen “stop putting your needle through the loop!” I’m not a doctor but even I could see that’s what was going wrong

Me, med student, worrying a lot seeing her hold the needle between her fingers 😳
Wait then how are you supposed to hold it, like one med clamp on the needle and one med clamp helping with the stitch thread?
@@karenurquhart5228 You pick it up directly with the needle driver and let go to do the knots. For the next suture, you pick it up again (which can be a challenge with the even tinier needles we use for vessels for example). Sure, sometimes we lose our patience and grab it carefully with our fingers, but I had attendings berate me for that because you really don’t wanna prick yourself 😅
They're sharp as heck! Can slice skin if held wrong...
@@ScottishCabbage yeah the ones she used are reverse cutting needles, so the half moon shape is actually sharp too, not only the needle tip 😅
@@ScottishCabbage What a great way to get a stick injury. I think she got one in the piercing episode.
Dr. Jackie, "I'm going to just give you Tylenol." You could be an Army medic! 😂
I love that you got all of these ideas from one sarcastic Karen. Keep up the amazing work!
Lol yesss i was just thinking this every army medic/doc ever does this
I'm just gonna say this isn't the stupidest thing to learn. Emergency situations happen and who knows when a good stitch may come in handy!
I agree. I have watched someone else do a simular kit. He's a prepper.
Until you can get a doctor to look at it, it’s really best to use some butterfly bandages to hold together the wound (if it’s small enough), or wrap it tightly after disinfecting it. Otherwise you can trap an infection under the skin and end up with things like sepsis, which can kill in a matter of hours.
@@doubtful_seer Thanks for that!
@@doubtful_seer True and true. If you're in a first world country and hospitals can easily be reached its best to get a Dr to look at it. If you're in an area with no hospitals, you have to make sure everything is sterile and that wound is cleaned out and sterile before you make any stitch.
I've had so many friends get injuries just glued together with super glue lol
we tend to use sterile gauze to wipe up "human ketchup". I love that exactly when you mentioned how small the needle was I was thinking "damn that's big". To be fair the only sutures I see are in the mouth and actually the running stitch is one the dentists I assist almost use exclusively. This was really funny to watch someone learn something that is kind of second nature knowledge to me.
Instructor describes the first item in the kit, and Jackie crosses off one whole year of medical school 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The tattooing kit: oh you can tattoo yourself here are some gloves be safe. The piercing kit is also like: oh you can Pierce yourself alcohol wipes and some gloves be safe.

‘ Doctors hate her! With these five easy tricks they could hate you too! ‘
Sorry to be picky but the reason your stitches look wonky is because your needle was on the inside of the loop. You needed to keep the thread on the outside where the loop wouldn't catch it. I'm just gonna throw that out there. I'm no doctor but i know how to sew so that's why i said something. Thanks for the video though.
Blargh, more needles!

Actually I learned how to suture in while highschool for a few science classes. And this def has a place to have some basic knowledge for the 1st aid/emergency situations.

I agree! I honestly feel more empowered learning this. Whether I will or will not faint from blood is another matter 😂
@@nerdecrafter you won't fully know how you will react to the blood until that scenario happens. But it is a skill more people just incase. And even if you can't look you could always help others
@@nerdecrafter unless it's a head wound, which IME you wanna glue anyhow, most wounds don't tend to bleed much after the first few minutes. By the time you're getting to the stitch or glue part, platelets are hopefully doing their job. 🤷🏼♀️ It really is a good skill to have, too.
I don’t wanna disencourage anybody and I love seeing people interested in the stuff we do, but amateur suturing in an emergency isn’t a good idea. One reason is the lack of hygiene/a sterile environment to avoid infections, another is the fact that doctors have to take a look at the wound, see how deep it is, if there’s any damage to nerves, vessels or other structures etc… Worst case if you suture a wound yourself without these steps is that you trap an infection under the skin where can’t get out 😬
I know that the Y insision is typically used for autopsies. Specifically chest autopsies and are used by coroners when inspecting a corpse to find a cause of death.
They typically use alcohol whipes to clean up the wounds. 😂
This tool seems really cool and educational.

The moment I checked my notifications & saw that your clap-back against the Karens had progressed to spite-sewing, I started outright howling with glee & laughter 😆😂🤣
At this point, aren't the Karens winning?
'Spite sewing' is a great description. lol
Your issue with the running stitch was when you pulled the needle through, it was caught in the "loop" that the thread you were keeping tension on made. That's why you have those sort of horizontal bits between the stitches. The stitch at 29:30 is the only one where it was held out of the way, so it doesn't have those extra bits and looks more like his. If you ever want to try this again, try holding the tension of the excess string off to the other side so it doesn't get caught when you pull it through.
Source: I sew and I used to make this mistake a lot as a beginner.
Yup, she unintentionally ended up doing a blanket stitch 😅
Yeah omg I was yelling through the screen "it's wrong it's so wrong! How doesn't she notice?!" It was stressing me out xD
Just imagine if the surgeon doing your sutures suddenly started banklet stitching your wound.
The blanket stitch is great just not for skin.
Thank you I was getting triggered 😂😂
I think we all know that dentistry is next and I’m so hyped.
Can't wait to react to this video!
Jackie I laughed so hard at this video. Especially when you were demonstrating threading a needle. Oh this is so funny. Just out of curiosity what is the age limit on this kit? Ha! I can't believe the kits that can be purchased. Thanks for making such entertaining videos.
I grew up with both parents in the medical field, and my mom worked as an operating room nurse, so I actually grew up playing with the instruments she sometimes brought home, both for our emergency kit, and occasionally for crafting. I considered becoming a doctor like my dad, but I'm not a people person, so it didn't happen, but I've inherited a deep curiosity for medical procedures, and way more knowledge about all kinds of surgeries for a non-professional. This kit looks super interesting!
I don't know about the different filaments, but there are different types for stitching deeper tissues (which melt on their own), and different thicknesses, too. A cut on the face needs smaller stitches to avoid scars, but if you are getting a knee replacement, on a mobile area, the stitches need to be sturdy. And, if the cut is deep, there are usually the melting stitches in the deeper tissues to keep everything together, and then smaller stitches to keep the skin together. Fascinating stuff!
Also, the scalpels and needles are really handy in crafting. I upholstered an armchair once, and mainly used a surgical needle to sew a decorative ribbon on it.
Karen is gonna lose it! Loving this concept! 😂
"Maybe it's even easier than sewing" oh how we dearly wish that was true. Suturing is hard 😭
I live to anger the Karens
Well you did great! Also, the suture materials are different because some of them are made to dissolve. Typically, the nondissolvable kind is used for outer body parts and it's pretty thin so it blends in better, but the dissolvable sutures are great for things like organs and since it's *typically* used in a place where no one will see the scar, the gauge can be much bigger. I hope that wasn't tmi, lmao.
Good job Jackie. I was a First Aid instructor in the military. I still use my skills today by carrying a fully loaded first aid kit in my car including for sutures. You never know if you will see an accident and can save a life!

Ok this is actually really cool from Amazon! I grew up a HUGE health science nerd and was very into human anatomy and physiology. I remember I made a cute diagram of the human heart with clay and put little markers as to where each part of the heart was. I had dreams of being an EMT or a trauma nurse. But sadly, I went thru a huge depression, lost my mom and gave everything up. I even threw away my diagram. I'm still mad at myself for doing that. But, I plan to become a body piercer and body modification technician (doing tongue splits and ear pointing) and I feel like this would be cool to practice my stitching. Obviously I'm not gonna do them on myself but I always had this inquisitive brain as a child. I was known as a kinesthetic learner where I enjoyed hands on activities and projects in school. I just loved learning new things. I have a new lease on life after experiencing the worst 3 years of my life and coming out a stronger person. Thank you for your videos Jackie. I'm also a very crafty person and my favorite is resin work! Used to love getting those random art kits from my family during the holidays bc they knew I loved arts and crafts. It's a great coping skill of mine along with piercings and tattoos! Your crafts and reactions make me laugh and I love the passion you put in your videos with Sika. Never stop doing what you do! ❤️

lol. Sewing up fake skin 'this is actually really relaxing!' Jackie...Jackie no. (btw I think the different kinds of string is because some are probably stronger. If you need to close a larger gap the wire/string needs to be strong enough so it doesn't snap when you pull the two sides of skin together. I also know about the kind of stitches that sort of dissolve by themselves so you don't have to go back and have them removed but I don't expect them to add those in a teaching kit.
Some of the threads are used for subdermal stitching I believe is what it's called and then the others are for the exterior stitching. And some are dissolvable stitches both stitches but I don't know which is which
@@lindacunningham5480 oh that makes sense!
i believe the issue with the running suture Jackie was that you were putting the hemostats above instead of under, causing the suture to tie a knot every time. Hard to describe lol. I only noticed because I sew a lot and it can also be a problem when hand sewing
I've taken several medical/anatomy courses during my Animal Science program (I now have a BS!) and one of the coolest parts was practicing sutures on raw chicken XD You Don't want to pull the closing knot super tight, you want the skin just flush so it heals more easily and doesn't leave lumps.
Closer to the end of semester, we did a couple small meaningless surgeries on rats like neutering. We choose our rats before this and I picked the sweetest most social ones. It was very clear who had no experience with rats before. But that day, we spent the whole lab playing with our rats ♥️
I'm thankful to now have the experience and knowledge to possibly help in emergency situations and a great base of I wanted to go into a medical career in my field. And aseptic procedure 🙏 very important
Also, different suture materials are for different types of cuts and locations. Like a nylon would be on the surface and be removed after a couple weeks (non absorbable). Whereas bio materials, we called it "catgut", would be used internally and would dissolve over time. And thicker guage would be used in thicker tissue. Like the size here could be used on small animals, all the way to people. But a cow would require thicker guage.
Edit: it's an easy mistake, but the technique was not bad, you just didn't make sure each sure was free from the last. When doing the running stitch you don't want the next suture to be hooked on the last or it pulls like in the video and gets lumpy. 😅
I love the pettiness of doing piercing and surgery kits because of a Karen. This is top tier.

A couple years ago I was trying to open a bag of carrots with a knife and uh my roommate had to take me to the ER. I had almost sliced off the tip of index finger. I wasn’t looking but my roommate said the doctor would stitch and human ketchup would pore out, he’d calmly wipe with a paper towel then continue stitching. It happened with every stitch he did and I got 6-7 stiches. The guy was funny. He said if I had gone further I wouldn’t had needed stitches and cleanly sliced the whole tip off
Gauze 4x4 used to clean up human ketchup but honestly most wounds will be infused with epi which stops the ketchup leakage. Some of the suture is dissolvable and some isn’t. Some you use for muscles and others for skin. Suture and needles also come in different sizes and shapes, cutting and non cutting.
As somebody who has trained to do suturing, this was an absolute delight to watch! I just wish we'd been allowed to use ketchup in our training sessions, too! XD
I'm not sure why but I got the image of a bunch of med students squirting each other in the face with ketchup from their practice skins lol.

@@grannysquared7140 congratulations to her!!🎉
tbh i would be SCARED if she did my surgery🤣🤣 cause she would be screaming lol..but i would trust her cause she seems like shes doing okay lol
So the reason yours looks different is because you are pulling the needle through inside the thread instead of outside. I'm no surgeon, but i do sew. If you pull the thread away from the spot where you go in with the needle and then pull the needle through it'll look the way the doctor has it. It's really hard to explain with words lol, so idk if i even helped
I will now solely refer to blood as "human ketchup", thanks.
Next episode: Jackie tries weird taxidermy
Oh that's so interesting!
"Stop screaming, I can hear you from here." Well I should hope so - I'd be embarrassed to be a former theatre kid if you couldn't hear me yelling where you are from Boston. 😉 And don't worry, suturing is taught to maaaany people, not just doctors. Takes, I don't know - my class was maybe 90 minutes, and a good chunk of that was how to glue wound together without gluing yourself to the person. 😂
I got stitches when I was 5 and it was because I hit my chin on the gym floor and 2 doctors had to hold me down cuz I was screaming but half way through they turned on Mickey Mouse clubhouse
I still have scars but gotta tell a story so my aunt Jessie saved a child from haveing glass in their skin ❤and one of my daycare teachers saved a kid from a broken window ❤

@@suxmew thank you
I think that’s correct
(I’m Young and my mother is a med thing for people that were in fires lol)
That’s like sewing :)
I don't think learning how to suture is a bad thing. You never know if you're going to be able to get to the hospital to be treated. I think it should be a part of first aid certifications. Running stitches are often not used because they tear easier by the way.
Why do I feel like Jackie would be amazing in a crisis? I mean, there would be "Holy carp" moments, but then she'd bravely and awkwardly sew up the leader for the adventure to continue. Ketchup leakage may happen.
You mixed the runnig sutures with the reverdin sutures, which is a fast technic for skin stitches, if you have a big surgery wound to close.

Also, there, you're trained and we're short staffed, come to work 😂
As a 10yr I was helping my grandfather spilt wood for winter with a log splitter. I wasnt paying much attention when I was controlling the lever... And well, I had my hand against the metal plate and the hydrologic ram and the wood. I crushed my pinkie and my ring finger. I had surgery 2 weeks later and had this massive scar that stays with me till this very day. Theme of this story:, pay attention when doing something dangerous. You may regret it. (True story)
Hello, Jackie! Love your content.
As a doctor, I'm just commenting to say that... you did it wrong! xD Only with the continuous stitches. You passed your needle through the loop, so it got kind of crooked. Next time, try to keep your needle out of the loop and you'll get a nicer result.
Also, I'd love to see you trying the mattress-stitch, I think you'd like the results it gives.
Good job!
Thx for doing these type of videos. Like a person who is interested in tattoos and piercings and things like that, I'm glad that you make this type of content.I know that this isn't a good idea to be watched by kids,but there is something called RUclips kids so... If Karens aren't ok with this content, they can download RUclips kids for their kids so theg won't watch it 😁😅
I’m a vet tech & at my veterinary hospital for surgery we use “vicryl” which is similar to the filaments you have. The vicryl is used subcutaneously and is absorbable. We also use skin suture which are the sutures that you see on the outside of the skin. With skin suture, the doctor actually does have to thread the needle.
Depends though, there are lots of non absorbable suture materials for skin sutures that come with the needle attached as well. In my experience it strongly depends on the likes of the vets what they use.
@@gggthsb I’m not saying that’s all there is. I was just saying what we use at my hospital. The skin suture we use is not absorbable
You said absorbable , I read adorable
Wait did you get to sleep during stitches!!!???!???!?!!! All they did to me was give the area numbing
