Yes, thank you. There's an actual alive human person lying under those chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions 😊 first do no harm, yo 🤨
I feel that I have plaques or stuff like that in my arteries, can someone give me a actual way to clean my arteries(also I workout so exercise is not a problem) it’s just that those that I see on RUclips or google are like “magical juice to cleans your arteries” or BS stuff like that
Weird as it sounds, I’ve known a number of very experienced EMTs who purposefully make dark humor jokes in the field with patients. It’s because the more relaxed the first responders appear to be, the more calm the patient is. If they are relaxed/joking a bit with the patient the assumption is “oh! They see things like this everyday I am going to be fine”. If the EMT seems stressed then the patient is more likely to panic.
humor to distract or calm the patient is common and good. cracking jokes for your buddies (or the fourth wall audience) is unprofessional and stupiyd and childish and very poor writing. but hey, it's mas produced fictional garbage, so it's typical for them
So, my dad is a firefighter, and he watched this and literally all he was doing is criticising the firefighters for making diagnosises on the spot and doing things wrong lol
Your dad is probably 100% right. My buddies and I watched this show at the Station once to make fun of it and had to turn it off because it made us cringe.
my dad is an eye doctor and he does the same thing when we watch medical shows and they make stupid diagnoses to quick. or he'll just point out people's eye problems out of nowhere when we're watching something and start explaining it lol
He clearly overdoes on UV rays. But yeah, how would they know if he takes anything. Besides that it's outside of their job (there are specialists for that), they first should make sure the patient is stable and on the way to the hospital.
Although the show can be inaccurate and bit ridiculous I still love it because some of the cases are based on actual 911 calls of course the situation is embellished or dramatized but it’s still very interesting to see how crazy things can happen in real life. I also love the characters they definitely bring more to the show. This reaction was so funny because Doctor Mike was laughing at all the inaccuracies.
Let us not forget(haven’t heard it on this show yet) . Police enter a house or apartment and it’s quite obvious something was being looked for Police officer:” Well somebody was looking for something.” 🤣🤣🤣
hi! 911 dispatcher here (: we actually almost never check for a pulse because most callers are panicked and will feel their own pulse and think its the patients! if someone is uncounscious and doesnt look like theyre breathing, we most likely start cpr and see if the person has the reflex to push them away. if not, compressions it is! fun fact for yall today
That's actually what we are learning in med school nowadays too! Studies have shown that even most trained medical personell get it wrong, so if we aren't emergency personell we are taught not to check for pulse in an emergency.
the premise of each story starts this way: person calling: *says something that sounds bad and like a tragedy but not too strange or weird* dispatch: *asks a clarifying question* person: no you don’t understand *reveals twist*
person: my dad just fell! dispatch: did he hit his head? does he have any visible injuries or signs of a stroke? person: no you don't understand... he fell... *into the backrooms*
Person: My husband is choking in my kitchen! Dispatch: Okay what is he choking on Person: No, you don't understand, I dont even have a husband *omnious music starts*
I find so much joy in this show, despite knowing it is absolutely ridiculous and so medically innacutate, but I love it to pieces either way (and the characters give me so much joy)
“Nope he’s gone” As a life guard that hilarious to me because I’ve known life guards who have continued CPR for 45 minutes and to go “nope he’s gone” after 10 seconds is ridiculous
Not a life guard but I’ve seen people do CPR for about that long to try and save someone they don’t stop until the paramedics arrive and pronounce them dead
I've watched a lot of bondi rescue and those lifeguards have done cpr and defib for over an hour. They had an episode where they pulled a man out of the water that had been under for 6 hours and they still did cpr for an hour. The man was sadly already gone
"Award for empathy goes to that gentleman. He's literally getting his arm torn off and he's like Think about the shark🥺🥺" This got me laughing like a psychopath....
Dr Mike: do chest compressions right! Risk breaking ribs! Me: sir, I think your forgot this was a show, we don’t want anyone to break their hecking ribs on camera😭
I once overheard an EMT announce, loudly and nearby the patient, that the patient was "having a psychotic break". It took every ounce of strength not to ask why he was working as an EMT, if he was such a skilled and experienced psychiatrist that he could diagnose someone within two minutes of meeting them and without even having a conversation.
I've had an EMT tell me the patient was 'just mentally unstable'. No buddy, the patient has clear signs of having suffered a massive seizure event, and the reason they are confused, and speaking with a slight slur, but not expressing typical stroke symptoms is because their brain basically shorted out and rebooted. I was an RN at the time, and i think the physician on duty wanted to backhand the EMT...which ive actually seen a doctor slap someone before...
4:22 - OMG that prenatal yoga class scene had me cracking up, because it just got so chaotic. By the end of it, I shouted, "DOES ANYONE ELSE WANNA GO INTO LABOR?"
I want to become a midwife. I only have the knowledge of an internship, stuff I had read and conversations I had with parents, but as far as I know these births happend way to fast, they never checked the cervix and the women didn't push with the contractions... I also hate to see most woman on tv giving birth in the worst position laying on their back 🙄 I always cheer if the woman is allowed to walk around during labour and have any position where she doesn't have to push against Gravity.
5:21 Again, if you watch the show. Yes she’s said because she’s an operator/dispatcher and concerned about the people she helps but never knows how it turns out.
If only tv shows would hire and consult a doctor when they write their stories.... Could be entertaining AND educational at the same time.... Thank you Dr. Mike for taking the time to do this.
I’m a nurse and hubs is a medic and we love this show. Kinda ridiculous but the characters make the show. We try to count how many injured people get transported without a neck brace.
The show was not made for information but entertainment. The characters are the show and there interactions are flawless even if the on screen medical stuff is preposterous.
@@thespectator901 Ello, I am a empath. We sense other people’s emotions and feel what they’re, feeling sometimes unable to distinguish it from our own emotions. So basically if you were angry, I would instantly know and feel kinda angry as well without even looking at you or talking to you. It’s kinda like a sixth sense. However I believe the person who said that they think Mike is a empath was cracking a joke.
Actually the dispatchers comment about the caller just hanging up when help arrives is an important statement. My wife was a dispatcher and she always said it was hard to not ever get closure, or to know if the person was okay. Sometimes my wife was the last person to talk to a person before they passed away.
Its a fairly big theme for the dispatchers throughout show. The struggle of lacking closure and not knowing if they've made a difference, but also how rewarding it is in the cases where they they do know. Wonderful show, medical accuracy aside haha.
I work with drug and alcohol addicts, calling emergency is something I've had to do frequently - sometimes for less serious issues, sometimes for cardiac arrests - I always make sure to thank the dispatcher and tell them the emergency service has arrived before hanging up. I don't understand why people just hang up? It's not like you are "busy" once the professionals arrive, you just stand back and watch, so there is really no reason to not end the call normally.
@Freja Lindberg literally nowhere in his post did he say his wife wanted or expected gratitude, just that it was hard on her not knowing what happened to her callers. Good lord.
I hate how arrogantly he dismissed that part. It was literally to show an emotional side of things that no one talks about and he goes “pppffftttt who cares about them!”
My brother is a first responder and I'm a forensic pathology student,, my mom and sis hate when we watch the show with them cause we just end up making fun of literally everything. It's so dumb but also very entertaining
Remember this actor is supposed to act like he is in pain and very serious when he’s sticking his hand in a flopping shark prop, I would be surprised if he didn’t laugh
3:00 fun fact, there was actually a man that was being bitten by a tiger- I think he lost his arm as well, and the whole time he was defending the tiger saying how "they don't know any better" or something like that. I'll provide an article if I can find it.
It’s true the tiger doesn’t know any better it might have had cubs it felt where in danger, if a human felt their children where in danger they would do anything to protect them. Same with the tiger
@@YinAndYang_ii sadly no, I can't find one. Everytime I look it up I just get a bunch of articles about this guy named Roy who yes did get attacked by a tiger and yes, did defend the tiger by saying "I was having a stroke and the tiger was trying to pull me to safety," but also supposedly abused the tiger? None of the information is clear to me and I found nothing about the original tiger attack I was looking for where the guy was actively defending the tiger WHILE being attacked.
Alright, here’s your snake scene debunked. 1. That was most likely an albino Burmese python. (Thanks No one in particular) 2. Putting Ice or other very cold item on the snakes body near her neck would have probably worked 3. Killing the snake would NOT cause it to just go limp, it would either tighten more or begin flailing
Even a little ketamine or laughing gas (assuming they carry it) would’ve worked way better than hacking at it with an axe… even if you chopped off its head the body would continue constricting courtesy of snake biology.
@@nooneinparticular469 THATS what he is! For the life of me I was 90% sure I was right but something was nagging me and I forgot Burmese pythons existed. I just kept thinking Popeye from Snake Discovery and Everglades invasive but couldn’t think of the name
@@animeobsessee2125 No, you’re fine! It’s really blurry, so if you don’t look close, it’s easy to imagine a scale pattern. But he’s too thiccc to be a retic.
As someone who is currently getting EMT certified, this show is so wild. Literally our scope of practice essentially boils down to BLS and transport, however ALS and beyond is primarily handled by Paramedics and beyond. EMT's don't diagnose, don't intubate, don't do crikes, don't do needle decompressions, and this show has them do all of that stuff! hahahahaha. Def gives First Responders a bad name. But the show is my guilty pleasure. Especially because that engine has a response area of essentially ALL of LA County, from Lancaster to all the way down to Long Beach.
It’s about as bad a greys anatomy. There are literally no nurses or other medical professionals in the show. Like when have you ever seen a surgeon do a X-ray or MRI lol. And no I’m not a nurse.
“What class is this” A lot of yoga classes for women in their third trimesters exist! The show just made most of them go into labor at the same time lol
Stress-induced labour is an actual thing, which was the idea behind all the births in that scene. Though, admittedly, having _all_ the many mothers in the room start dropping their loads is probably a bit of a stretch.
@@michaelheliotis5279 stress induced labor is a thing I know! Just the way that scene played out was funny, and to think yoga is supposed to be a peaceful thing 😂
Pythons and boas in general are super chill. Attacks happen very rarely, and there's guaranteed to be a human cause. (I.e. the snake was not fed or socialized properly, lashed out in self-defence or panic)
@@raydrost Yeah, normal popular culture's continued vilification of snakes. There would be no way that snake would constrict a human hard enough to need to be put down, they could have easily unwrapped it from her without having to kill it. The only reason she was in trouble in the first place was handling a snake that size alone, because it didn't realize it was hurting her, it was just squeezing hard enough to anchor itself, which unfortunately for a human is strong enough to cut off your airflow. A snake would never see a human as legitimate prey.
“What are you sad?” Yes actually as dispatchers who care about callers it’s upsetting when you don’t know the out come or have closure. Yes part of the job but still crappy.
I love watching 9-1-1 while knowing full well that it's not all that realistic, however a couple things to keep in mind; because it's a TV show, they have limited time to make the situation make sense to the lowest common denominator viewer. Also, the 911 calls they respond to (usually in the cold opening) are often derived from actual events. So the writers have a bunch of info that is relevant to include, but they have only a few minutes in which to cram it all in. So you end up with first responders who are clairvoyant and have x-ray vision. XD
The show might be filled with an accuracies just like any other medical or legal drama, but most of the cases in both medical and legal dramas are in fact ripped from the headlines!
A year or two ago, I read that the showrunners for Lone Star (and therefore, theoretically, the flagship series) pull stories from "the darkest corners of the internet" and I absolutely believe it!
I love this show 😂 it’s so ridiculous but a guilty pleasure. It drives my husband crazy (he’s a cop) and he’s always yelling at Athena for going into situations alone…but he can’t stop watching.
@@dharmani_youtube "don't be evil" isn't politics. It's only political if you disagree, which wouldn't make any sense. I know it's completely off topic and I look insane ranting right now, but that will has got to go.
Aww, I hope you’re doing well now. I have depression and a couple other mental health disorders so I’d just like to say that you’re not alone! And if you haven’t already, try to talk to a psychiatrist/psychologist. I did and it made everything just so much better!
Actual response on the show “Oh, I didn’t think of that.” I like bingeing it when I’m in depressive or just blah states. It’s also my go-to for periods. I just enjoy the non-medical story bits
The “Phineas Gage” situation was the moment in the series where my suspension of disbelief hit its breaking point. Because, in the show, not only does the character survive the injury, he doesn’t even end up with any sort of noticeable scar. Even the doctors in the show say his survival and recovery is miraculous. So it’s ridiculous even by the standards of 9-1-1 itself! And that’s in Season 1!
well, surviving part is fine as we literally saw it happen in real life, but no side effects really sucks, real gage had really bad side effects, not exactly physical, but mental as he could control himself less and less - becoming overall more impulsive due to the decision making part of his brain having been ruined if its side effects are ignored that kinda sucks, cause it could make a really interesting story, maybe they could even bring a patient that was hurt by him due to his lack of self control
7:40 my 7th and 8th grade history teacher was also a volunteer firefighter. one time, he was called in to a situation that looked almost EXACTLY like this. guy lost control of his car, crashed, but instead of a bit of rebar, the guy had an irrigation pipe (or a similar pipe) through his skull, directly between both hemispheres of the brain. if i remember correctly, the guy died around 3 days after arriving at the er, when the surgeon pulled the pipe out of his head
I’m pretty sure it’s becoming more of a standard procedure to maintain items within the head because of incidents as such. Like if your shot they usually just keep the bullet there. But idk.
I’m a former dog groomer and in grooming school we had to learn how to pop eyes back in because sometimes with certain bug eyed breeds (pugs, shih-tzus, etc.) their eyes can just pop out of their eyelids if they get too worked up. Thankfully in 8 years of working with dogs I never had to lol
Mate. Dogs and humans are not the same. Do not push an eyeball back in forcibly. Now if you eye is lose and the attachment broke than that’s a different story, so you just look upward and dong cup your eye. But pushing the eye is a bit stupid.
FINALLY! I've just binged a bunch of Dr. Mike's stuff and I was starting to question if he understood that you can't risk breaking actors ribs for realisms sake and the cost of making realistic dummies for "patients of the week" is far more costly than doing "poor chest compressions" or jumping straight to paddles.
These aren't even "bad" mock chest compressions. I saw one clip (i think rescue 911, can't be sure) and the actor doing compressions was bending his elbows way out to avoid putting pressure on the patient actor.
Same! I watch him criticize the chest compressions, which in real life would be bad compressions so it's fair to criticize them for realism, without commenting on the fact that this is a SHOW. They can't do real chest compressions on someone who doesn't need it! Their heart is beating normally, that could do damage instead. I'm glad he finally acknowledged this is a show and so the chest compressions can't be as deep as they would need to be in real life.
Same, love how insane the situations are. If I recall (may be thinking of a different show) a bus crashed Into like a 11 story building ON THE TOP FLOOR
Although the responses to these emergencies are heavily dramatised, a lot of them are based on real emergencies. Mostly it sounds like the show writers just read the news articles and not actual police/medical reports though.
I’d love to see a remake of 9-1-1 where an actual doctor like doctor Mike here would be asking the truest questions like “how did you know that a python can do that?!” Or “why are you blaming a child on the babies death?!” He would be like the voice of reason
I think the reason that chest compressions in medical dramas always look so terrible is because the actors playing the EMTs are too afraid to risk hurting the other actors playing the patients. It’s understandable. Though, I think it would be possible to use some kind of prosthetic chest to make the chest compressions LOOK more real.
100% Don't know why they don't -- it is well worth their while For them to depict what you might expect if someone is ever to have to do that themself someday and not seem freaked out because it's not working perfectly with no pressure and no broken bones "just like on TV" Show em how it's done, help a person out in an emergency :)
@@Blasted2Oblivionwell…it might be a little stupid to try and make an already beating heart beat? Like you won’t even be matching the pace and that’s mostly gonna do more harm than good.
I really appreciate the honesty in having to correct others diagnosis. I was misdiagnosed 3 times before a nurse practitioner ordered the blood test to confirm my body was not making insulin anymore. Even after seeking help, I was slapped with a label because I was overweight and 22 years old. Getting that phone call saying I needed to begin insulin therapy right away was the most devastated I'd ever felt in my life.
The bit about the baby that was "flushed". She wasn't flushed, the mother ran up to a level that's under construction and there was this large open pipe and she dropped the baby into it, I'm impressed nothing else insane happened. But the part where the guy on the ambo said "if this baby dies, it's on you", that wasn't to the mother, that was to the police officer who held the ambulance so the mum could board.
@Instagram User firstly, if you're content is anything like this comment I highly doubt it even comes close to being as good as these videos. Second, why are you being homophobic? That's not cool, man.
This makes me so excited, this show is ridiculous and I love every minute of it! Also, a lot of the regular medical scenes are from real stories. (I usually look them up lol)
2:57 as an animal handler myself, let me just say that we DO think like that. Death and/or dismemberment is an occupational hazard we accept whenever we work with dangerous animals, and getting injured is a rite of passage. Our charges are our babies.
@@Themineccraftkid lol I forgot that was a thing definitely should be done in real life. But I'm pretty sure there is also a thing that can be done without sedation. Something I watched about handling big snakes.
I was an EMT for 10 years. I totally buy one of the firefighters having random jeopardy knowledge about snakes. That being said, the situations are crazy even for EMS (once a year for these calls, not all in one shift, wtf is going on), they rarely secure the scenes, and violate their scopes of practice on a regular basis and I'm stunned more patients don't die. It's actually a joy to watch.
Out of curiosity, is there much of a difference between EMTs and Paramedics? I'm curious because I'm pretty sure the medical response team in the show are paramedics specifically, but I'm not sure it matters.
@@lizziefirkey6385 hi! my bf is a paramedic! the biggest difference is education. EMTs are like a step below parademics, so they can only administer CPR, glucose, and oxygen, whereas EMTs can do IV insertion (for IV lines, in ambulances an EMT will be the one getting a drip started after the patient has been secured so they're not rolling around like crazy), and I believe they can work more directly with pacemakers and can administer certain drugs. Which paramedics cannot do as they aren't properly trained/educated for it in emergency situations. This may be different in other areas though, I just remember this much from when I asked him about it! (I'm not in the medical field either so I'm clueless, I just do sociology lol)
This! My EMT class a couple years ago actually taught us some stuff on snakes, spiders, and venom as part of the curriculum because it could show up on the NREMT so random snake knowledge would not surprise me LOL
@@dylangreyluxe You flipped that around. There are three general levels of what the public calls "EMTs": Basics, Intermediates, and Paramedics. Paramedics are the highest level where we perform the most interventions. These include a wide variety of ALS medications. Depending on your medical director, we can also perform surgical airways, ultrasounds for trauma patients, needle decompressions, finger thoracostomies, pericardiocentesis, etc. "EMTs" is what the public calls all of us regardless of level. We, however, typically call Basics "EMTs" and we call Paramedics "Medics", but it can change from region to region. As far as education, you are correct there. EMT-Basics have about 6 months of intensive training whereas Paramedics receive 2-2.5 years of intensive training. You are then required to take a state test after completing schooling before you are able to practice, followed by recertification every 2-4 years (state depending) with around 150 hours of constant required continuing education. Additionally, there are numerous Paramedic specialties including Critical Care, Flight, and Tactical.
His comments about patients bringing up tv show symptoms remind me of my friend who works as a court bailiff. He said if one more juror asks "where's the forensic evidence, are there fingerprints" because of the CSI shows and all the other mystery cop shows people expected forensic evidence at every trial but it's very rare to have forensic evidence for non-murder cases. He said it drove him and the Judges crazy.
My dad was a carpenter for like 30 years. The accidents he's seen involving nailguns... he's seen someone get shot in the chest with a 4 inch nail that went through a rib and it like touched the heart but didn't puncture it, it was like up against it. At least that's what dad told us, he told us all the scary stories to make sure we never messed with his tools, not sure how true they were but it definitely worked either way
As a previous paramedic they do a lot wrong on this show. However we DO have to often talk to patients & family to keep them calm for their safety & our own. Also we DO often have to make the best guess possible at a diagnosis with the info we are given to treat the patient or make a mental list of what to look for…especially in rural areas like mine where the nearest major hospital may be 45min away. HOWEVER unless we are absolutely SURE or the patient/family demands an answer and won’t calm down…we keep the POSSIBLE diagnosis to ourselves & evolve it at new symptoms appear or treatment works. But if they didn’t say it out loud in the show then it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting. Although it DOES cause fans of the show to expect paramedics to be dr house…not good.
Despite the many many ridiculous things about this show…I love it completely unironically. It’s very well acted and the characters are likable. But yeah practically NONE of it is believable. 😂😂
My father was a paramedic and he was always calling out inaccuracies on medical shows. Even after he's gone, my mother and I still do this. We say that Dad ruined medical dramas for us, but we always have a good laugh.
My boyfriend had a accident with one of our Boa Constrictor. She didn't choke him because he's not her prey scheme but she bit his arm. We learned from the breeder that running cold water onto her she will release and she did. The most important is you stay calm and desinfect the wound immediatley after the bit. :)
Dr.Mike. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saved my best friends son on New Years eve. I forget the name of the condition he was born with but he's had 4 heart surgeries since he was born and on New Years eve he had a cardiac episode. I was panicking pretty heavily as was everyone else but through the panic I remembered chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions. The doctor said I saved his life. So I'm just on here watching as many videos as I can today. I know I only add one view and one like but it's the only way I can say thank you. I know on the past one I commented in favor of Kris but KMK is the queen lol. But anyway, all this to just say thank you. I'm a single mom with a 2 year old and it's comforting to know that I can do chest compressions correctly. Stayin alive!
My husband had a stroke at age 42 (he's fine now, got treatment super fast) and the EMTs were discussing amongst themselves whether it was a stroke or a pinched nerve. So first responders throwing out diagnoses doesn't seem that far off in my experience.
Kinda also checks out with "shut the hell up and get him to an actual doctor", but I guess there's different interpretations. The point was even if there's a .1% chance it is a stroke, the debate is over. You are transportation, not a diagnostician.
That "yoga" class is one that's specifically for pregnant women. I think yoga can be good safe exercise during pregnancy but these classes rarely have any emergency/safety measures in place, unless they're at a medical clinic or a gym/physical therapy facility that has an emergency nurse.
Really sad fact: this girl I went to school with her whole family was long distance runners and when I was cheering with her in middle school her mum was on a run and dropped dead and they never figured out why because she was healthy and then when we were in high school her little sister was at her cross country practice running and dropped dead same exact thing as her mother but side note the girl despite that went to a different state and is a fantastic cheerleader for her university and getting a medical degree
How do you not spend the rest of your life thinking you're gonna also inexplicably drop dead at some point? I'd have anxiety throught the roof after both those traumas
@@3llevate for a while she kind of did because it seemed like maybe it was something in their genes and kind of threw her whole world upside down but she realized living in fear isn't living and that even if that was going to happen to her she should be living her life the way she wants to beforehand but she's healthy and doing well
Just something I noticed while watching another medical show, a reason why they don't do proper depth of chest compressions ever on these shows may be since they're performing them on living actors and don't want to hurt them/risk breaking any ribs.
There are ways of looking real. They used to have a rounded chest they could put over the actor so they could do compressions and not really be pushing on actor.
Aw, 9-1-1 is one of my favourites. I love how they highlight characters from all the emergency service departments, not just the hospital or just the fire department. More, please, and Lone Star, too.
I like the show because in the first few seasons especially they were actually portraying real emergencies from around the world like the baby in the wall. A lot of them seem crazy but they actually happened
@@BurningTheWaterfall YES. My mom and I watch them both and love them both. Some of it is totally absurd, but also the amount of times we've looked stuff up and found it really happened somewhere is astonishing. Humans are.... real neat... haha
I like how when the girl was being choked by the python they could have just secured the head and then start to unravel it from her neck that could have been an easier option than killing it but who knows it's a TV show
Besides, it's very unrealistic for a snake to choke you on the neck (also they only "choke" if the're having a food response so usually they bite what they see as pray and then use the whole body to squish it). It always makes me angry to see these "bad snake" scenes because it makes them look like cold blooded monsters which they are really not.
@@seli.popcornpfoten Exactly. Typically when that happens the snake does not think it is going to eat you. The snake is just doing its best to stay on you and doesn't know that your neck can't take the strength of the snake's muscles, or the weight of the snake. It is why people who handle snakes properly won't even let a snake that big get close to wrapping around their neck. They will keep the snake on the shoulders only, and if the snake seems like it might wrap you immediately relocate the head before it is even close to wrapping your neck. Also if you are not strong enough to reposition the snake by yourself then you should not have the snake out and on you without someone else nearby to help.
@@zebraloverbridget I agree. Personally I would never handle a snake of that size alone anyways, I would always have at least one other person with me just in case because they are extremely strong even if they don't mean to harm you.
@@zebraloverbridget And also you wouldn't have time to call EMS and have them arrive and wonder what they're going to do while the snake is slowly deciding whether or not it's going to constrict. Dumb show. Dumb snake owner having a 30ft snake with no second person around.
The first beginning tho, “SOMEONE FLUSHED A BABY DOWN THE TOILET” AND THEN THE GUY USING THE STETHOSCOPE ON THE WALLS LMAO 😂😂 let’s not forget the LITERAL SHARK on the freeway LMFAOOO I love this video 😂😂😂

True, and impressive
Dr. Mike realizing that the people in the show don't actually want to break ribs irl is hilarious lmao.

Weird as it sounds, I’ve known a number of very experienced EMTs who purposefully make dark humor jokes in the field with patients. It’s because the more relaxed the first responders appear to be, the more calm the patient is. If they are relaxed/joking a bit with the patient the assumption is “oh!

@@BingQilin my mom still kicks my dad and I out of the living room when I am home and is trying to watch a medical drama.

Lesson that I took from the last 5 seconds of this video: Running is deadly. Noted. Thanks Mike! lol
that is why I stopped running 20 years ago, the only time I run is when I have the shits and my cheeks are quivering from the stress

Right in time for the new years exercise resolutions.. next year's resolution is to not run at all.

I lost my absolute mind when Mike yelled "HE'S ON DRUGS" "How do you know?" "LOOK AT HIM" plus Sam wheezing in the background just SENT ME
He clearly overdoes on UV rays.
But yeah, how would they know if he takes anything. Besides that it's outside of their job (there are specialists for that), they first should make sure the patient is stable and on the way to the hospital.
I seriously need a loop of this brief, glorious moment. I’m also glad I’m not the only one who noticed Sam wheezing 😂
Although the show can be inaccurate and bit ridiculous I still love it because some of the cases are based on actual 911 calls of course the situation is embellished or dramatized but it’s still very interesting to see how crazy things can happen in real life. I also love the characters they definitely bring more to the show. This reaction was so funny because Doctor Mike was laughing at all the inaccuracies.
Same. I do love it inaccuracies and all. ❤
"I always choose to save the more attractive one"

"I always choose to save the more attractive one"
Sooooo... the snake

hi! 911 dispatcher here (: we actually almost never check for a pulse because most callers are panicked and will feel their own pulse and think its the patients! if someone is uncounscious and doesnt look like theyre breathing, we most likely start cpr and see if the person has the reflex to push them away. if not, compressions it is! fun fact for yall today
Didnt think of that and it sounds logical.
That's actually what we are learning in med school nowadays too! Studies have shown that even most trained medical personell get it wrong, so if we aren't emergency personell we are taught not to check for pulse in an emergency.
Oh cool thanks :D
Thanks for what you do!
Thanks for clarifying!!
the premise of each story starts this way:
person calling: *says something that sounds bad and like a tragedy but not too strange or weird*
dispatch: *asks a clarifying question*
person: no you don’t understand *reveals twist*
Literally lol
person: my dad just fell!
dispatch: did he hit his head? does he have any visible injuries or signs of a stroke?
person: no you don't understand... he fell... *into the backrooms*
yup
I will confess I did get into the show for the out there situations. I mean the episodes with the tsunami? Loved 'em.
Person: My husband is choking in my kitchen!
Dispatch: Okay what is he choking on
Person: No, you don't understand, I dont even have a husband
*omnious music starts*
I find so much joy in this show, despite knowing it is absolutely ridiculous and so medically innacutate, but I love it to pieces either way (and the characters give me so much joy)

“Nope he’s gone”
As a life guard that hilarious to me because I’ve known life guards who have continued CPR for 45 minutes and to go “nope he’s gone” after 10 seconds is ridiculous
if 45 minutes is what it takes for an ambulance to get there, then that's what needs to be done.
@@Operngeist1 indeed, flipping exhausting though
Hello other lifeguard, I’ve heard stories like of doing cpr for a long time. But yeah, Ten seconds???? There’s no way.
Not a life guard but I’ve seen people do CPR for about that long to try and save someone they don’t stop until the paramedics arrive and pronounce them dead
I've watched a lot of bondi rescue and those lifeguards have done cpr and defib for over an hour. They had an episode where they pulled a man out of the water that had been under for 6 hours and they still did cpr for an hour. The man was sadly already gone

he's so dumb and smart at the same time it's adorable
I once overheard an EMT announce, loudly and nearby the patient, that the patient was "having a psychotic break". It took every ounce of strength not to ask why he was working as an EMT, if he was such a skilled and experienced psychiatrist that he could diagnose someone within two minutes of meeting them and without even having a conversation.
I’ll bet money that the EMT was also a firefighter
@@karstelobster8203 lol
And thanks mr EMT for thinking of the patient’s privacy!
I've had an EMT tell me the patient was 'just mentally unstable'.
No buddy, the patient has clear signs of having suffered a massive seizure event, and the reason they are confused, and speaking with a slight slur, but not expressing typical stroke symptoms is because their brain basically shorted out and rebooted.
I was an RN at the time, and i think the physician on duty wanted to backhand the EMT...which ive actually seen a doctor slap someone before...
@@dreamwolf7302 did the slapee do something that warranted a slap?

I always cheer if the woman is allowed to walk around during labour and have any position where she doesn't have to push against Gravity.

If only tv shows would hire and consult a doctor when they write their stories.... Could be entertaining AND educational at the same time.... Thank you Dr. Mike for taking the time to do this.
They do. That’s set protocol for medical shows. There’s not so much that the FCC will allow to be shown on tv though.
Code black was such a great show
Chicago med does have surgeon they consult with. he thought actors how to scrub and everything...
Welp doctor mike is a savior
They would but you have to dramatize shows to make them entertaining unfortunately.
this is why I love this show, the medical scenes are so weird and ridiculous, one of my favorite shows ever
I’m a nurse and hubs is a medic and we love this show. Kinda ridiculous but the characters make the show. We try to count how many injured people get transported without a neck brace.
I get that lol, my moms a nurse and I love watching this with her for the story, yes, but also because the incorrect stuff is funny
I think I know that
Maybe not
The show was not made for information but entertainment. The characters are the show and there interactions are flawless even if the on screen medical stuff is preposterous.

So basically if you were angry, I would instantly know and feel kinda angry as well without even looking at you or talking to you. It’s kinda like a sixth sense. However I believe the person who said that they think Mike is a empath was cracking a joke.

Her: as soon as help arrives most people just hang up...
Dr. Mike: ya, what are you, sad?
Best quote from Doctor Mike
I love that line lmao obviously dispatchers get no love but hey that's the job.
2:24 he does get fired actually.... but like for a couple of days 😭😭
"This show is so incredible" is an extremely polite way to say "wtf is going on here, what is this major bs??", and i respect that.
No he’s right this show is freaking amazing
It's incredible, as in in-credible, or not credible. :)
Yep.
Actually the dispatchers comment about the caller just hanging up when help arrives is an important statement. My wife was a dispatcher and she always said it was hard to not ever get closure, or to know if the person was okay. Sometimes my wife was the last person to talk to a person before they passed away.
Its a fairly big theme for the dispatchers throughout show. The struggle of lacking closure and not knowing if they've made a difference, but also how rewarding it is in the cases where they they do know.
Wonderful show, medical accuracy aside haha.
I work with drug and alcohol addicts, calling emergency is something I've had to do frequently - sometimes for less serious issues, sometimes for cardiac arrests - I always make sure to thank the dispatcher and tell them the emergency service has arrived before hanging up. I don't understand why people just hang up? It's not like you are "busy" once the professionals arrive, you just stand back and watch, so there is really no reason to not end the call normally.
@Freja Lindberg and the award for the least amount of empathy goes to you.
@Freja Lindberg literally nowhere in his post did he say his wife wanted or expected gratitude, just that it was hard on her not knowing what happened to her callers. Good lord.
I hate how arrogantly he dismissed that part. It was literally to show an emotional side of things that no one talks about and he goes “pppffftttt who cares about them!”
2:24 “I hope he gets fired after that.” Clearly Dr. Mike didn’t see Buck’s first scene where he has sex with a random girl in the fire truck 😂

Maby the man was doing smthing to the tiger shirk
I can't even give it the "so bad it's good. " I just find it to be a horribly acted and terrible show.
When the guy is like "don't kill the shark, she's come so far!" 2:55 you can literally see him start to laugh.
Obviously, he's delusional from blood loss.
Remember this actor is supposed to act like he is in pain and very serious when he’s sticking his hand in a flopping shark prop, I would be surprised if he didn’t laugh
3:00 fun fact, there was actually a man that was being bitten by a tiger- I think he lost his arm as well, and the whole time he was defending the tiger saying how "they don't know any better" or something like that. I'll provide an article if I can find it.
Have you found it? If you haven’t it’s ok lol
Animal attacks are pretty much never out of malice.
It’s true the tiger doesn’t know any better it might have had cubs it felt where in danger, if a human felt their children where in danger they would do anything to protect them. Same with the tiger
@@YinAndYang_ii sadly no, I can't find one. Everytime I look it up I just get a bunch of articles about this guy named Roy who yes did get attacked by a tiger and yes, did defend the tiger by saying "I was having a stroke and the tiger was trying to pull me to safety," but also supposedly abused the tiger? None of the information is clear to me and I found nothing about the original tiger attack I was looking for where the guy was actively defending the tiger WHILE being attacked.

Alright, here’s your snake scene debunked.
1. That was most likely an albino Burmese python. (Thanks No one in particular)
2. Putting Ice or other very cold item on the snakes body near her neck would have probably worked
3. Killing the snake would NOT cause it to just go limp, it would either tighten more or begin flailing
I’ve always had good luck with a spray or two of vodka. (Also, I believe he’s a Burm.)
I’ve seen rubbing alcohol applied as well.
Even a little ketamine or laughing gas (assuming they carry it) would’ve worked way better than hacking at it with an axe… even if you chopped off its head the body would continue constricting courtesy of snake biology.

As someone who is currently getting EMT certified, this show is so wild. Literally our scope of practice essentially boils down to BLS and transport, however ALS and beyond is primarily handled by Paramedics and beyond. EMT's don't diagnose, don't intubate, don't do crikes, don't do needle decompressions, and this show has them do all of that stuff! hahahahaha. Def gives First Responders a bad name. But the show is my guilty pleasure. Especially because that engine has a response area of essentially ALL of LA County, from Lancaster to all the way down to Long Beach.
True, but Chimney and Hen are paramedics, not EMTs.
you will learn to hate this show 10x more after you've worked 911 for a year lol
And they always ride the fire trucks to a scene that only calls for paramedics, no firefightrs. Is that normal in the US? XD

Hello how you doing ?
Psicoprofilxis class, prenatal yoga class, you know, classes with 3rd trimester pregnant people.
Stress-induced labour is an actual thing, which was the idea behind all the births in that scene. Though, admittedly, having _all_ the many mothers in the room start dropping their loads is probably a bit of a stretch.
@@michaelheliotis5279 stress induced labor is a thing I know! Just the way that scene played out was funny, and to think yoga is supposed to be a peaceful thing 😂
This show feels like it's got a sprinkling of twilight zone on it.
Actually, the snake's a Burmese Python. They're one of the most docile species of big pythons, so they're used a lot in movies and tv shows.
And I think that one was a true story maybe minus the romance at the end.
Pythons and boas in general are super chill. Attacks happen very rarely, and there's guaranteed to be a human cause. (I.e. the snake was not fed or socialized properly, lashed out in self-defence or panic)
@@margotrosendorn6371 Yeah, I totally agree. Big snakes get a bad rap, for no real reason.
@@raydrost Yeah, normal popular culture's continued vilification of snakes. There would be no way that snake would constrict a human hard enough to need to be put down, they could have easily unwrapped it from her without having to kill it. The only reason she was in trouble in the first place was handling a snake that size alone, because it didn't realize it was hurting her, it was just squeezing hard enough to anchor itself, which unfortunately for a human is strong enough to cut off your airflow. A snake would never see a human as legitimate prey.
This one seem like a very good boi
“What are you sad?” Yes actually as dispatchers who care about callers it’s upsetting when you don’t know the out come or have closure. Yes part of the job but still crappy.
I love watching 9-1-1 while knowing full well that it's not all that realistic, however a couple things to keep in mind; because it's a TV show, they have limited time to make the situation make sense to the lowest common denominator viewer. Also, the 911 calls they respond to (usually in the cold opening) are often derived from actual events. So the writers have a bunch of info that is relevant to include, but they have only a few minutes in which to cram it all in. So you end up with first responders who are clairvoyant and have x-ray vision. XD
there is a reason why I don't watch TV anymore, and its because your right on so many points.

dark humour best humour
The “Phineas Gage” situation was the moment in the series where my suspension of disbelief hit its breaking point. Because, in the show, not only does the character survive the injury, he doesn’t even end up with any sort of noticeable scar. Even the doctors in the show say his survival and recovery is miraculous. So it’s ridiculous even by the standards of 9-1-1 itself! And that’s in Season 1!
but...he does have a scar tho
@@rufusgobrrr A small one. I didn’t even notice it until he pointed it out himself on the show. Maybe I’m just not observant about that stuff though.
well, surviving part is fine as we literally saw it happen in real life, but no side effects really sucks, real gage had really bad side effects, not exactly physical, but mental as he could control himself less and less - becoming overall more impulsive due to the decision making part of his brain having been ruined
if its side effects are ignored that kinda sucks, cause it could make a really interesting story, maybe they could even bring a patient that was hurt by him due to his lack of self control
They keep bringing up how ridiculous it is too hahhaha
9-1-1 has a lot of unbelievable medical emergencies, but remember, many of them are in fact based on true stories.
7:40 my 7th and 8th grade history teacher was also a volunteer firefighter. one time, he was called in to a situation that looked almost EXACTLY like this. guy lost control of his car, crashed, but instead of a bit of rebar, the guy had an irrigation pipe (or a similar pipe) through his skull, directly between both hemispheres of the brain. if i remember correctly, the guy died around 3 days after arriving at the er, when the surgeon pulled the pipe out of his head
That sucks.
I’m pretty sure it’s becoming more of a standard procedure to maintain items within the head because of incidents as such. Like if your shot they usually just keep the bullet there. But idk.
I’m a former dog groomer and in grooming school we had to learn how to pop eyes back in because sometimes with certain bug eyed breeds (pugs, shih-tzus, etc.) their eyes can just pop out of their eyelids if they get too worked up. Thankfully in 8 years of working with dogs I never had to lol
Good lord
This wouldn’t happen as much if they weren’t breed like crazy especially the pugs
@@AgentDoges I think it’s more so the specific dogs they choose to breed than the amount that they breed, but I definitely agree with you!
Mate. Dogs and humans are not the same. Do not push an eyeball back in forcibly. Now if you eye is lose and the attachment broke than that’s a different story, so you just look upward and dong cup your eye. But pushing the eye is a bit stupid.
I did a grooming rotation in my animal science class and im v thankful that this was never an issue for us 😭 that sounds horrifying
FINALLY! I've just binged a bunch of Dr. Mike's stuff and I was starting to question if he understood that you can't risk breaking actors ribs for realisms sake and the cost of making realistic dummies for "patients of the week" is far more costly than doing "poor chest compressions" or jumping straight to paddles.
These aren't even "bad" mock chest compressions. I saw one clip (i think rescue 911, can't be sure) and the actor doing compressions was bending his elbows way out to avoid putting pressure on the patient actor.
Same! I watch him criticize the chest compressions, which in real life would be bad compressions so it's fair to criticize them for realism, without commenting on the fact that this is a SHOW. They can't do real chest compressions on someone who doesn't need it! Their heart is beating normally, that could do damage instead. I'm glad he finally acknowledged this is a show and so the chest compressions can't be as deep as they would need to be in real life.
On Casualty they use realistic dummies.
911 fans know the show is insane, that's part of the fun!
I've always liked the ridiculousness of 9-1-1, really cool to see you cover it.

Although the responses to these emergencies are heavily dramatised, a lot of them are based on real emergencies. Mostly it sounds like the show writers just read the news articles and not actual police/medical reports though.
I was wondering if someone would comment this lol cus I was going to
Interesting.
I recognized many of the emergencies as actual events while watching the show. It’s dramatized, but i recognized them from Facebook, RUclips, etc.
I think they hire actual medical doctor and nurses etc When writing These but IDK for sure 😽
And that’s why I like it. I like the episodes that give the background of the characters.
I’d love to see a remake of 9-1-1 where an actual doctor like doctor Mike here would be asking the truest questions like “how did you know that a python can do that?!” Or “why are you blaming a child on the babies death?!” He would be like the voice of reason
I think the reason that chest compressions in medical dramas always look so terrible is because the actors playing the EMTs are too afraid to risk hurting the other actors playing the patients. It’s understandable. Though, I think it would be possible to use some kind of prosthetic chest to make the chest compressions LOOK more real.
Or fake hands! 😁
Or they could just go method and actually break a person's ribs. It wouldn't be smart to do that but the could.

I really appreciate the honesty in having to correct others diagnosis. I was misdiagnosed 3 times before a nurse practitioner ordered the blood test to confirm my body was not making insulin anymore. Even after seeking help, I was slapped with a label because I was overweight and 22 years old. Getting that phone call saying I needed to begin insulin therapy right away was the most devastated I'd ever felt in my life.
The bit about the baby that was "flushed". She wasn't flushed, the mother ran up to a level that's under construction and there was this large open pipe and she dropped the baby into it, I'm impressed nothing else insane happened.
But the part where the guy on the ambo said "if this baby dies, it's on you", that wasn't to the mother, that was to the police officer who held the ambulance so the mum could board.

Was I the only one that died laughing when he said “no,no,no not on my wall there is a baby IN my wall 😡😡” I can’t 💀
LOL-
“There is a baby in my WaLl”
😂😂😂😇whyyyy
I was so scared
@@Energyofhappinessandsimplelife how?💀
I'm so glad you reacted to this show. I love this show because of how extra and funny it is when it comes to 911 calls.
@Instagram User was this supposed to make dr mike look bad lol.
@Instagram User firstly, if you're content is anything like this comment I highly doubt it even comes close to being as good as these videos. Second, why are you being homophobic? That's not cool, man.
“What do you think first when you see this doctor?”
Chest compression Chest compression Chest compression.
This makes me so excited, this show is ridiculous and I love every minute of it!
Also, a lot of the regular medical scenes are from real stories. (I usually look them up lol)
Same, I love this show!
Lol I'm watching this show right now
I am the most famous man on YouTub! This is not bragging! This is the truth! The truth will set you free, dear jew
They said he MAY have had a stroke.
@Instagram User you don't even have content .
2:57 as an animal handler myself, let me just say that we DO think like that. Death and/or dismemberment is an occupational hazard we accept whenever we work with dangerous animals, and getting injured is a rite of passage. Our charges are our babies.
Hello how are you doing
also like aren't you supposed to have someone with you if you are handling a large snake?? also is there a way to make it let go without killing it???
@@shadowseekeroc8437 you can sedate it. It’s…it’s fairly obvious of a solution.
@@Themineccraftkid lol I forgot that was a thing definitely should be done in real life. But I'm pretty sure there is also a thing that can be done without sedation. Something I watched about handling big snakes.
It's worth noting, the snake used was an albino Burmese Python, and not a species of Boa.
I was an EMT for 10 years. I totally buy one of the firefighters having random jeopardy knowledge about snakes.
That being said, the situations are crazy even for EMS (once a year for these calls, not all in one shift, wtf is going on), they rarely secure the scenes, and violate their scopes of practice on a regular basis and I'm stunned more patients don't die.
It's actually a joy to watch.
Out of curiosity, is there much of a difference between EMTs and Paramedics? I'm curious because I'm pretty sure the medical response team in the show are paramedics specifically, but I'm not sure it matters.
@@lizziefirkey6385 hi! my bf is a paramedic! the biggest difference is education. EMTs are like a step below parademics, so they can only administer CPR, glucose, and oxygen, whereas EMTs can do IV insertion (for IV lines, in ambulances an EMT will be the one getting a drip started after the patient has been secured so they're not rolling around like crazy), and I believe they can work more directly with pacemakers and can administer certain drugs. Which paramedics cannot do as they aren't properly trained/educated for it in emergency situations. This may be different in other areas though, I just remember this much from when I asked him about it! (I'm not in the medical field either so I'm clueless, I just do sociology lol)
@@dylangreyluxe Thanks! This was really helpful :D
This! My EMT class a couple years ago actually taught us some stuff on snakes, spiders, and venom as part of the curriculum because it could show up on the NREMT so random snake knowledge would not surprise me LOL
@@dylangreyluxe You flipped that around. There are three general levels of what the public calls "EMTs": Basics, Intermediates, and Paramedics. Paramedics are the highest level where we perform the most interventions. These include a wide variety of ALS medications. Depending on your medical director, we can also perform surgical airways, ultrasounds for trauma patients, needle decompressions, finger thoracostomies, pericardiocentesis, etc. "EMTs" is what the public calls all of us regardless of level. We, however, typically call Basics "EMTs" and we call Paramedics "Medics", but it can change from region to region. As far as education, you are correct there. EMT-Basics have about 6 months of intensive training whereas Paramedics receive 2-2.5 years of intensive training. You are then required to take a state test after completing schooling before you are able to practice, followed by recertification every 2-4 years (state depending) with around 150 hours of constant required continuing education. Additionally, there are numerous Paramedic specialties including Critical Care, Flight, and Tactical.
This show is the most unrealistic thing I’ve ever seen and I love every ridiculous and fun moment of it 😂
His comments about patients bringing up tv show symptoms remind me of my friend who works as a court bailiff. He said if one more juror asks "where's the forensic evidence, are there fingerprints" because of the CSI shows and all the other mystery cop shows people expected forensic evidence at every trial but it's very rare to have forensic evidence for non-murder cases. He said it drove him and the Judges crazy.
My dad was a carpenter for like 30 years. The accidents he's seen involving nailguns... he's seen someone get shot in the chest with a 4 inch nail that went through a rib and it like touched the heart but didn't puncture it, it was like up against it. At least that's what dad told us, he told us all the scary stories to make sure we never messed with his tools, not sure how true they were but it definitely worked either way
I hope the person that got shot with a nailgun is okay now☹️
@@Jo2ep yeah
lol my dad accidentally nailgunned his hand to a cabinet working at an assembly factory
As a previous paramedic they do a lot wrong on this show. However we DO have to often talk to patients & family to keep them calm for their safety & our own. Also we DO often have to make the best guess possible at a diagnosis with the info we are given to treat the patient or make a mental list of what to look for…especially in rural areas like mine where the nearest major hospital may be 45min away. HOWEVER unless we are absolutely SURE or the patient/family demands an answer and won’t calm down…we keep the POSSIBLE diagnosis to ourselves & evolve it at new symptoms appear or treatment works.
But if they didn’t say it out loud in the show then it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting. Although it DOES cause fans of the show to expect paramedics to be dr house…not good.
6:03 “You hit the bullseye.”
Dr Mike: “Who makes jokes like that?”
The rest of us: “Like you’ve never heard an EMT indulge in gallows humor.”
Despite the many many ridiculous things about this show…I love it completely unironically.
It’s very well acted and the characters are likable. But yeah practically NONE of it is believable. 😂😂
Same, this is my favorite shows lol. I don't watch it for is accuracy, I watch it for the characters. Also still love seeing Dr Mike react to it 😁
You want real? Then watch the original Rescue 911. Those were all stories that were confirmed to be true.
Also it doesn't have to be believable to be true. Often times the truth is stranger than fiction.
@@Jason2425able I can also recommend Nightwatch and Live Rescue. Doesn't get more realistic than the real thing.
Completely agree! I LOVE 9-1-1 and am here for ALL its absurdity 😂
My father was a paramedic and he was always calling out inaccuracies on medical shows. Even after he's gone, my mother and I still do this. We say that Dad ruined medical dramas for us, but we always have a good laugh.
Ha
My husband too, with law enforcement shows. Cops never drop their guns at the commands of the criminal! 😂
gone?.... was?....
@@Christinakloehn-ip3tuhe probably died 😢

My boyfriend had a accident with one of our Boa Constrictor. She didn't choke him because he's not her prey scheme but she bit his arm. We learned from the breeder that running cold water onto her she will release and she did. The most important is you stay calm and desinfect the wound immediatley after the bit. :)
I swear that ball python deserved an Oscar for his performance
Dr.Mike. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saved my best friends son on New Years eve. I forget the name of the condition he was born with but he's had 4 heart surgeries since he was born and on New Years eve he had a cardiac episode. I was panicking pretty heavily as was everyone else but through the panic I remembered chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions. The doctor said I saved his life. So I'm just on here watching as many videos as I can today. I know I only add one view and one like but it's the only way I can say thank you. I know on the past one I commented in favor of Kris but KMK is the queen lol. But anyway, all this to just say thank you. I'm a single mom with a 2 year old and it's comforting to know that I can do chest compressions correctly. Stayin alive!
I have never seen this man so stressed, LIKE EVER BEFORE.
My husband had a stroke at age 42 (he's fine now, got treatment super fast) and the EMTs were discussing amongst themselves whether it was a stroke or a pinched nerve. So first responders throwing out diagnoses doesn't seem that far off in my experience.
Kinda also checks out with "shut the hell up and get him to an actual doctor", but I guess there's different interpretations.
The point was even if there's a .1% chance it is a stroke, the debate is over. You are transportation, not a diagnostician.
I love these shows because they are dramatic. Your videos make me love them more haha
That "yoga" class is one that's specifically for pregnant women. I think yoga can be good safe exercise during pregnancy but these classes rarely have any emergency/safety measures in place, unless they're at a medical clinic or a gym/physical therapy facility that has an emergency nurse.
But for that scene, looked more like that was a Yoga class for woman who are going to get their babies the next day.
Nah. You see what happened is that it was on the full moon.
Really sad fact: this girl I went to school with her whole family was long distance runners and when I was cheering with her in middle school her mum was on a run and dropped dead and they never figured out why because she was healthy and then when we were in high school her little sister was at her cross country practice running and dropped dead same exact thing as her mother but side note the girl despite that went to a different state and is a fantastic cheerleader for her university and getting a medical degree
dear lord.....
How do you not spend the rest of your life thinking you're gonna also inexplicably drop dead at some point? I'd have anxiety throught the roof after both those traumas
@@3llevate for a while she kind of did because it seemed like maybe it was something in their genes and kind of threw her whole world upside down but she realized living in fear isn't living and that even if that was going to happen to her she should be living her life the way she wants to beforehand but she's healthy and doing well
@@3llevate I think it’s entirely possible to just drop dead but you shouldn’t be worried 🙂
@@fritzreacts3904 🙂
Just something I noticed while watching another medical show, a reason why they don't do proper depth of chest compressions ever on these shows may be since they're performing them on living actors and don't want to hurt them/risk breaking any ribs.
I think Dr. Mike realized that filming this video too 🤣
There are ways of looking real. They used to have a rounded chest they could put over the actor so they could do compressions and not really be pushing on actor.
@@rebekahweber2413 having a huge chest would look unnatural, wouldn’t it?
They make movies that have realistic killing scenes im sure they can figure out chest compressions
@@cynthiachatikobo6243 Nah, those killing scenes are real. The actors are murdered and replaced by genetically engineered lookalikes. : P
9-1-1 is the MOST ridiculous, unrealistic show I EVER watched. Like i think those writers were smoking weed when writing it 😂.
Aw, 9-1-1 is one of my favourites. I love how they highlight characters from all the emergency service departments, not just the hospital or just the fire department. More, please, and Lone Star, too.
Yup we need lonestar
I stopped watching the show after like 2 episodes because some of the cases were just so extreme and almost laughable
@@xxviciousbeautyxx it gets so much better
I like the show because in the first few seasons especially they were actually portraying real emergencies from around the world like the baby in the wall. A lot of them seem crazy but they actually happened
@@BurningTheWaterfall YES. My mom and I watch them both and love them both. Some of it is totally absurd, but also the amount of times we've looked stuff up and found it really happened somewhere is astonishing.
Humans are.... real neat... haha
The show is so much better after the first season 😜 I love how insane the scenarios are. Loved this!
As a paramedic this makes me sad and laugh hysterically at the same time.
Have U ever had someone shoot themselves with a nail gun B4?
Mike getting angry at these shows is the best 🤣
8:54 omg, the tiny wheeze of the cameraman at Mike's indignant outrage, so precious :)
The moment when Dr. Mike realized that the chest compressions were for a show and the actors cant risk breaking someones ribs 👌🏾😂
I've seen a firefighter/EMT respond to that eyeball scene and he's even more disgusted by the whole thing than you are Dr Mike.
Hello how you doing
fire department chronicles lol
@@chloebutler8438 I'm Jenny tinna by name were are you from
Really? What is the channel name?
@@cryptic2071 Fire Department Chronicles I'm pretty sure. He's a pretty funny guy
Mike: Don't clear him, put him on the stretcher.
Me: That's a table-
I like how when the girl was being choked by the python they could have just secured the head and then start to unravel it from her neck that could have been an easier option than killing it but who knows it's a TV show
Besides, it's very unrealistic for a snake to choke you on the neck (also they only "choke" if the're having a food response so usually they bite what they see as pray and then use the whole body to squish it). It always makes me angry to see these "bad snake" scenes because it makes them look like cold blooded monsters which they are really not.
@@seli.popcornpfoten don't forget, it's a show with a freeway shark attack.
@@seli.popcornpfoten Exactly. Typically when that happens the snake does not think it is going to eat you. The snake is just doing its best to stay on you and doesn't know that your neck can't take the strength of the snake's muscles, or the weight of the snake. It is why people who handle snakes properly won't even let a snake that big get close to wrapping around their neck. They will keep the snake on the shoulders only, and if the snake seems like it might wrap you immediately relocate the head before it is even close to wrapping your neck.
Also if you are not strong enough to reposition the snake by yourself then you should not have the snake out and on you without someone else nearby to help.
@@zebraloverbridget I agree. Personally I would never handle a snake of that size alone anyways, I would always have at least one other person with me just in case because they are extremely strong even if they don't mean to harm you.
@@zebraloverbridget And also you wouldn't have time to call EMS and have them arrive and wonder what they're going to do while the snake is slowly deciding whether or not it's going to constrict. Dumb show. Dumb snake owner having a 30ft snake with no second person around.
The first beginning tho, “SOMEONE FLUSHED A BABY DOWN THE TOILET” AND THEN THE GUY USING THE STETHOSCOPE ON THE WALLS LMAO 😂😂 let’s not forget the LITERAL SHARK on the freeway LMFAOOO I love this video 😂😂😂
The shark could happen. I mean, it is LA after all.
What about the girl who's head turns into a alien at a hair salon?

If they did them correctly, you’d crack the actor’s ribs
