I don't know if it's happened before but the pregnant mother dead part is the first time I've seen Dr. Mike not know what to do. Really caught me off guard
The thing is that Paramedics in real life aren't trained to perform c-sections. Violet only knows how to do for plot purposes. In real life a Paramedic has to call medical control for further instructions because that is way outside of their scope so they can't do anything without authorization and instructions from the medical authority.
Doctors aren't really taught to know everything. Very often they'll have a specific area of expertise like general medicine, emergency medicine, neurology, nephrology, etc. There are also people like technicians and paramedics that know things that doctors don't because there have to be people to fill in those gaps. Healthcare is a very team based field, everyone has a role and they're meant to know that specific role very well. That specific scenario just isn't his role🤷🏻♀️
"What do you mean, can you do it!? There is no harm to the mother. You just pronounced her dead." That felt so powerful , brutal and true at the same time.
Great video, as a in field medical professional I just wanted to answer the quick question of "Why do they only walk when they're told to hurry?" It's because from day 1 of any class or academy you go to for EMR, EMT, or Paramedic training is "scene safety". We're told every day that we should not rush into situations because if it is actually a dangerous scene there's a chance that we could become the next victim. I'm not saying hospitals are the safest place but when there's an emergency in an ER or ICU you can just literally run over there and start helping. If you run into a house for a collapsed person you may find yourself in a dangerous situation, for example a gas leak or an ill intentioned individual was lurking inside and is now possibly between you and the ambulance or any other help. That's the technical reason. Also it's a TV show.
Not to mention by running you're adding more adrenaline and decreasing your ability to think clearer...or tripping and falling and thus injuring one of the prehospital providers as well which means needing additional resources.
Yeah running would be entirely useless, it's taken EMT several minutes to get there, a 5 second difference between jogging and walking isn't going to change anything and would drastically increase the risk to the EMTs. I could see an argument for civilians on the scene at the time of the incident running, as they could do something within the first minute or so that would make a huge difference.
@@LiamMarcon Even then there is a reason why the first thing taught from the beginning of first aid training is to assess the scene. You have to be aware that whatever hazard that befell the casualty may still exist and the moment you rush in without checking all you risk converting a potential source of assistance into another casualty. I have actually seen this happen to another first aider on a site I was working as a consultant at, they rushed in and failed to recognise that the patients hand was still gripping a metal part of the machine where they had collapsed and the machine was still operational, turned out that casing was live and the breaker had failed to open for some reason. Suffice to say the moment they touched the casualty they also immediately collapsed and became another casualty. You just end up making things a lot worse not only doubling the number of casualties in need of assistance but also incapacitating one of the people present capable of providing said assistance. This is bad, a lot worse than had they taken those few seconds to assess the scene, locate the e-stop button, and the now unattended piece of heavy machinery and clear the scene of any other hazards in the immediate vicinity with the potential to cause further injury to the casualty, the personnel assisting, or otherwise just be an impediment in providing assistance. The last part is the same reason why you push moveable furniture out of the way and such hazards and obstacles at best risk slowing down all assistance you attempt to provide if not dealt with at the beginnng, at worse they risk making everything way worse.
You'd also think that having access to a saw like that, they may have also had (or be able to call for) something that DOESN'T vibrate to cut...like pneumatic metal shears...

forever grateful that doctor mike mentioned intrusive thoughts correctly and in such a casual and humorous manner, especially during the current pandemic of people spreading disinformation and stigma surrounding intrusive thoughts
The only desinformation going around about intrusive thoughts it's ignorance, people think a lot about IMPULSIVE thoughts instead of INTRUSIVE and they don't know that.
@@anti_sse Well yes- that's what they mean. People are trying to downplay the severity of intrusive thoughts by dumbing them down to impulsivity. Intrusive thoughts are not "haha I cut my hair at 3am so silly", they are "what if I went 100 MPH and drove my car off of a bridge right now"
You should watch Call the Midwife! It's an amazing show set in 1950's-1960's England, and follows nuns and nurses as they help deliver babies in a very poor area of England. It's always interesting seeing the older episodes because the problems they encounter are so easily solved now, but given the technology at the time, they couldn't do anything to help. The episodes about the thalidomide babies are especially heartbreaking
I super love this show! It kinda got me interested in the profession, but I couldn't afford to go to regular nursing school to branch out to it, especially when I left and still need to finish my BA in psychology. So, I started looking at being a dollar. Still can't afford it 😂

Hey Dr. Mike I recently went to the Mayo Clinic for an eye injury I received for blowing my nose too hard. (Literally not over exaggerating) The team of doctors I’ve had took a CT scan and found that I have a hole in my skull (from blowing my nose too hard) this causes the air that should go through my nose and sinuses to inside go through that small hole. This air gets trapped in my eye socket and that region which has resulted in extreme swelling. This injury has caused horrible migraines and extreme restrictions on my life. I share this because the doctors at Mayo said that they’ve heard of my injury but only ever seen it in literature. I find it to be interesting and wanted to share. Thanks for being a cool fella!
@pograce If you only breathe through your mouth, is there no longer a risk of air going up behind your eye? I hope you’re able to get some help so you don’t have to keep suffering with that constant buildup of pressure, the pain & life restrictions you mentioned, & whatever they have to do to release that pressure.
Recalled because of stupid people who don't remeber what their parents said to them about running with the scissors? That's how epidemic of stupidity looks like. You won't push metal straw through your head if you don't do something you wouldn't do while drinking. What next? Do they also start recalling spoons and forks, because you can also push them into your skull, if you are dumb enough? 🤣
Bit of context about the kid with the artery, the guy helping him went on a run, he is a squad lieutenant, and didnt have his phone on him, he left it in the car. And the woman coming over later is a paramedic coming to look for him because he didnt show up too work and she was worried as they are best friends and live together.🥰
@@luka_4528 i mean in that situation you can definitely leave him alone, hes not bleeding out and the only risk there really is if he try's to pull it out himself
UK Paramedic (so actions may differ) we do not stop CPR in pregnancy, we scoop and run and continue CPR on the way to ED, either with manual displacement of the uterus i.e. someone physically pushing the uterus to the left to reduce pressure on the aorta/vena cava, or left lateral tilt i.e. something under the pt's right hip to roll them a little to their left, or both if personel allows. If there are trained doctors present (we have them on the helicopters which we can call as backup) they may perform an emergency c-section but the mother is the priority and her care is prioritised
I’m not aware of a state in the US that allows paramedics to perform a c section under any circumstances. Scoop and run. We don’t have the luxury of a “quick Google search” to keep our license with the state.
@@seanfiske8759 Yeah, they didn't show the rest of the episode, where she was suspended and nearly lost her paramedic's license (of course the chief had an in with the councilman whose district included the baby's family, so her job was saved in the end).
I am not in healthcare but surely the paramedics would be able to call in to a dispatcher or hospital and get connected to a obgyn or emergency doctor for advice?
@@rosiejl2798 I can only speak for where i work, but yeah we have Senior Paramedics and Doctors called Medical Incident Advisors. Some hospitals have numbers for us to speak to a med reg too.
@@rosiejl2798 Yeah, I remember after a bad burn paramedics looked at it and weren't completely sure what to do, because it wasn't third-degree but it was second-degree over a large area. They called it in to ask the burn specialist doctor if they should bring me in to see him and the doctor told them to take me in. So yes, they do consult specialists when they aren't sure about some things afaik.
@@rosiejl2798 In my country we have doctors that can be dispatched with the ambulance or paramedics can request them from the field later. They are usually dispatched to more severe cases and generally when the patient is a child (or whever the dispatcher decides that the doctor is needed on the scene). Or paramedics can just contact this said doctor asking for help. Doctor can also aprove and instruct them to use more advanced medication that paramedics can't normally give and they would approve of emergency procedures in field and might give instructions on how to do them. Some procedures can still be performed by doctor only though.
Yes omg, I’m usually fine with these videos but that one really got to me! I actually had to skip it 😅 There’s something about the way she’s crying that feels really distressing
@@SiriKatsler Good actor! I felt the same, though I didn't skip it. I watch/listen to a lot of true crime and medical stuff so this sort of stuff doesn't normally get to me to a point where I have a physical reaction, but that scene made my body go "oh god NOPE"
Same! Never in my years of watching medical drama have I gotten to the point where I had to close my laptop and actually take a second to breathe. So scary. 10/10 acting though.
lol the paramedic saying "another thing to worry about, walking with straws" LIKE YOU HAVENT BEEN PARANOID ABOUT THAT SINCE CHILDHOOD?! NO JUST ME?! From an early age I was told not to walk or run while holding a straw or sucker in my mouth for that exact reason.
A relative of mine, when they were a child, was sitting down outside finishing off one of those giant lollypops when a basketball got away and slammed the lollypop stick through the back of his throat. I've had a lifetime of paranoia about the straw thing happening with anything similar ever since
Same here! My grandma was a nurse and would always admonish me if I was walking with a cup that had a straw, or a lollipop that had a plastic stick, or candy with a plastic holder in my mouth. I understood her concern, so I didn't do it.
But he's honest! He's not a surgeon. Nor is he an ER doctor. Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they can DO everything. I appreciate when my doctor admits she doesn't know something & wants to send me to someone who does. I just wish she'd send me to Dr Mike!!!!
17:30 "you have to stay calm!" as they just discussed right next to her that she's pretty much gonna die if they don't get her to the hospital really fast. Best way to keep someone calm and not panicking I've ever seen. 🤔
This is something I've dreamed of Dr Mike covering foreverrrr ESPECIALLY Otis! I loved that character so much, Yuri did such a good job portraying him, I bawled like a baby at his death
my little sister was born in the sack, she was born 15 weeks before due date, miracale that she survived, but im so glad she is here with me... love your vids, i myself want to go into this kind of job :)) (sry for bad english)
Was formerly studying paramedics and just finished my neuroscience degree, and the way I was YELLING at the TV. The second the firefighter looked at that kids arm I was like NO! THE BRACHIAL ARTERY....and then it''s almost 24 hours later and the kid is still alive....ok....sure Jan haha
10:50 in CSI there was also a DOA and the investigator noticed the corpse has a heart beat in her tummy and he just used a knife, something that was on hand, and that show is over 15 years old or so
Does Dr Mike just know all the answers to these things straight off the top of his head?! I find it crazy, how smart you have to be to do that, rather than like watching a bit, researching what’s happened, then still being able to understand. Huge props 🤣👏🏼
I just watched the pregnant mother DOA episode, and I was hoping you’d react to it! I kept rolling my eyes at how quickly the paramedic was allowed to get back to work despite not following protocol
15:38 Dr Mike - the guy you referred to as a good samaritan is actually a Lieutenant firefighter on the show, so really should know better! :-) And the blonde woman who shows up is actually a paramedic at the same firehouse!
Dr. Mike points out how the EMS walk slow in emergency situations and that is because they are suppose to represent calm in a stressful situation. More accidents would happen and everyone would be more stressed out of the EMS rush in screaming.
I used to do archery, and I never saw any accidents like that before, but we did use carbon-fiber arrows with round tips like that. When shooting at targets on thick blocks of foam, you can’t use jagged arrow heads like hunters, because they can easily get caught inside the foam and get stuck.
Yeah, there's strict rules at ranges. No one can go beyond the shooting line until the bell rings. All bows have to be put down or secured before entering the range to retrieve arrows. A head count is done every time after each retrieval round. A check to see if there is anyone still out in the range that couldn't be seen from the line. You can retrieve your bow and stand on the line when the majority are back, but if you knock an arrow before everyone is off the range you'll be told off/told to leave/disqualified. All to prevent injuries. These are the rules at my local archery range and at competitions, so idk if it's different in other places, but they take it very seriously. Realistically I could see that type of injury more so happening to a hunter whose hunting at dark hours than anyone in an indoor range. I've also used the tips shown in the clip in competitions because they're actually easier to pull out of the foam and they're lighter than the more blunter bullet style. I went through many of them lol using the tapered tip the allows the arrows go deeper inside the foam, which makes those tips perfect for shooting the 3D foam animal targets (forgot the actual name of them). I've actually had my arrows get stuck with those tips before so it's not always that it won't get stuck. Sorry for the long comment, I like sharing what I know lol
@@SnowieShibaI don’t know much about this sport but it’s nice hearing about the safety measures that is required for it. And also so relatable! If k know what I’m talking about I love sharing it
Please do a fire/EMS video with Fire Department Chronicles. He's great at ripping apart fire shows, and you'd make a great team. Keep up the good work & chest compressions :-)
You should absolutely react to the 70s series about paramedics "Emergency!" . I'm pretty sure it was one of the first medical related shows that made an effort to be as realistic as they could with medical tech and procedures.
I've been contemplating about watching this show. Thank you, Dr. Mike for saving my brain cells. SWAT, The Rookie, and Tracker take up my time. I so need to catch up on SEAL Team sometime.
Yes finally I've been dying for more One Chicago this was so fun to watch the reactions were brilliant I can't wait for more. Also the man in the machine with the boy is a firefighter.
One of my favorite First Responder dramas of all time. Probably only second to Chicago P.D. for me. Hope you do even more reactions to Fire, Dr. Mike! Would absolutely love that. Fire's got some wiiiild medical scenes--especially with their EMS staff that they roll with fairly often, or separately, all throughout the show! Very unique and cool dichotomy as you get really good insight into both worlds in a generally FD-based series. I also feel they overall do a really solid job at showcasing a lot of their medical situations, again especially with their EMS team members!
Dr. Mike, I'm so glad I found your channel. You crack me up and as a retired medical examiner and Forensic Pathologist, I appreciate your knowledge and sense of humor. 😊
I'm not a medical professional but I feel like that arrow shaft could have just been cut with bolt cutters and that avoids the vibration issue altogether
Dr. Mike has me yelling CHEST COMPRESSIONS whenever I watch a show or a movie and someone goes down. Then I start yelling “what are you doing?!” When they decide to shock the patient when they’re flatlining
The tractor part is genuinely a smart thing to do, if you get trapped if you can Hotwire it, the vehicle is easily strong enough to lift itself and the ladder to free you, if I didn’t call for help (I would) I would immediately try to flip the car over, before trying all that stuff he did
My husband only watches Dr. Mike from the background when I watch it, and the other day when we were watching a show he yelled, "CHEST COMPRESSIONS!" Doctor Mike style😎
Hi doctor Mike ! Happy early birthday.I somehow wanna be a doctor when I grow up and I get all my inspirations from you😊.Your the only social media doctor I follow...😅 I always watch your videos to get a grip in medical knowledge.😊
The emergency C-section in the field happened in NJ. The crew lost their jobs and there were huge lawsuits because the paramedics acted outside their scope of practice. It is expected that the crews perform CPR to keep oxygen flowing until they reach a hospital that can handle an emergency surgery.
I got a fish hook through my Achilles tendon one time. It was a treble hook with three barbs. The orderly at the hospital took a pair of wire cutters and just started clipping off the other barbs without telling me or giving me anything for pain. He almost got a kick in the face. They had to surgically remove it and sew my tendon back together. Six weeks in an immobilization boot.
Doctor Mike's frustrated screams and face at 9:17-9:18 is just hilarious. LOL But he is absolutely correct on STARTING THE CONFOUNDED CHEST COMPRESSIONS!!!! XD
Chicago Fire is a delight, though some of its injuries are absurd. I'm possibly wrong, but one guy got blown up by a barbecue and was impaled on a basketball hoop, another guy impaled on a traffic light, and there was one who was hanging from a construction crane impaled on a hook.
That last clip is exactly why I have a slight fear with straws. If I’m using a straw in something whether I’m carrying it or it’s sitting on the table/cup holder I always face the straw away from me.
As a paramedic who has been in EMS for almost 10 years some of these scenes drive me INSANE. My fiancé laughs at me for torturing myself through watching the occasional episode here and there 😂😂😂

@@rosiejl2798 I can only speak for where i work, but yeah we have Senior Paramedics and Doctors called Medical Incident Advisors. Some hospitals have numbers for us to speak to a med reg too.
@@rosiejl2798 Yeah, I remember after a bad burn paramedics looked at it and weren't completely sure what to do, because it wasn't third-degree but it was second-degree over a large area. They called it in to ask the burn specialist doctor if they should bring me in to see him and the doctor told them to take me in. So yes, they do consult specialists when they aren't sure about some things afaik.
@@rosiejl2798 In my country we have doctors that can be dispatched with the ambulance or paramedics can request them from the field later. They are usually dispatched to more severe cases and generally when the patient is a child (or whever the dispatcher decides that the doctor is needed on the scene). Or paramedics can just contact this said doctor asking for help. Doctor can also aprove and instruct them to use more advanced medication that paramedics can't normally give and they would approve of emergency procedures in field and might give instructions on how to do them. Some procedures can still be performed by doctor only though.
He isn’t an emergency medicine doctor or an obgyn
Hi doctor mike I’m 13 years old and I love your videos they inspire me to be a doctor thank you so much for all your work
Dr Mike yelling "START CHEST COMPRESSIONS!!!!" almost made me spit my coffee out 🤣🤣
the last one unlocked a new fear omg
My gf keeps telling me how dangerous metal straws can be and I’m like girl please 😭😭😭
REAAL! 😭
Yes omg, I’m usually fine with these videos but that one really got to me! I actually had to skip it 😅 There’s something about the way she’s crying that feels really distressing
@@SiriKatsler Good actor! I felt the same, though I didn't skip it. I watch/listen to a lot of true crime and medical stuff so this sort of stuff doesn't normally get to me to a point where I have a physical reaction, but that scene made my body go "oh god NOPE"
Same! Never in my years of watching medical drama have I gotten to the point where I had to close my laptop and actually take a second to breathe. So scary. 10/10 acting though.
I needed your positive energy today, doc. Thank you for doing what you do.
😂
Same same
Same bro
Frrr and I love your pride flag in your pfp🩷
Cope harder losers
lol the paramedic saying "another thing to worry about, walking with straws" LIKE YOU HAVENT BEEN PARANOID ABOUT THAT SINCE CHILDHOOD?! NO JUST ME?! From an early age I was told not to walk or run while holding a straw or sucker in my mouth for that exact reason.
I will now start telling people that sjfdjfa
A relative of mine, when they were a child, was sitting down outside finishing off one of those giant lollypops when a basketball got away and slammed the lollypop stick through the back of his throat. I've had a lifetime of paranoia about the straw thing happening with anything similar ever since
Same here! My grandma was a nurse and would always admonish me if I was walking with a cup that had a straw, or a lollipop that had a plastic stick, or candy with a plastic holder in my mouth. I understood her concern, so I didn't do it.
You're not alone on that
Lollipops, icecrem on a stick. even drinking from a glass was not allowed as you could fall face first into your glass
Seeing Dr. Mike saying “I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE” is honestly scary
But he's honest! He's not a surgeon. Nor is he an ER doctor. Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they can DO everything. I appreciate when my doctor admits she doesn't know something & wants to send me to someone who does. I just wish she'd send me to Dr Mike!!!!
Why? Doctors are also human…. We can only know enough information.
@@margaretbush AND not all doctors are specialists in EVERY field of medicine, One wouldn't go to a podiatrist for brain surgery!
17:30 "you have to stay calm!" as they just discussed right next to her that she's pretty much gonna die if they don't get her to the hospital really fast. Best way to keep someone calm and not panicking I've ever seen. 🤔
This is something I've dreamed of Dr Mike covering foreverrrr ESPECIALLY Otis! I loved that character so much, Yuri did such a good job portraying him, I bawled like a baby at his death
Not ottis’ death being the first scene 😭
The pain 😭
😢
Gotta rip that band-aid off quick. 😉
@@ArtaxTheWarHorse but it was cool that the russian words he said were actually real
Rip Ottis
my little sister was born in the sack, she was born 15 weeks before due date, miracale that she survived, but im so glad she is here with me... love your vids, i myself want to go into this kind of job :)) (sry for bad english)
the episode where otis dies ALWAYS gets me. especially when he says his last words to Cruz in russian and Cruz just breaks down.. i loved otis.
Wow! I know you speak Russian but I’ve only ever heard you say “yes I speak Russian”. It’s nice to see you able to translate on spot
0:13 We have a fire
Don’t we all?
So?
Nah, the building just has a high fever.
I don't 😢
That fire real or fake
9:16 ABSOLUTELY GOT ME DYING ON THE FLOOR
"Let's start an IV."
Dr. Mike: START CHEST COMPRESSIONS!
LMFAO! 😆😂🤣💀
Was formerly studying paramedics and just finished my neuroscience degree, and the way I was YELLING at the TV. The second the firefighter looked at that kids arm I was like NO! THE BRACHIAL ARTERY....and then it''s almost 24 hours later and the kid is still alive....ok....sure Jan haha
10:50 in CSI there was also a DOA and the investigator noticed the corpse has a heart beat in her tummy and he just used a knife, something that was on hand, and that show is over 15 years old or so
Does Dr Mike just know all the answers to these things straight off the top of his head?!
I find it crazy, how smart you have to be to do that, rather than like watching a bit, researching what’s happened, then still being able to understand.
Huge props 🤣👏🏼
I just watched the pregnant mother DOA episode, and I was hoping you’d react to it! I kept rolling my eyes at how quickly the paramedic was allowed to get back to work despite not following protocol
it’s so fun to watch mike’s reactions.
15:38 Dr Mike - the guy you referred to as a good samaritan is actually a Lieutenant firefighter on the show, so really should know better! :-) And the blonde woman who shows up is actually a paramedic at the same firehouse!
The fact that the guy is trained professional and rather tried to be a hero instead of running back to car for his phone is alarming.
Dr. Mike points out how the EMS walk slow in emergency situations and that is because they are suppose to represent calm in a stressful situation. More accidents would happen and everyone would be more stressed out of the EMS rush in screaming.
1:37 I *IMMEDIATELY* saw the monitor and thought, "Wait for it.....". YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
😂😂yassss he nailed it
Just what the doctor ordered today. Thank you 😊
2:48 Nobody’s RUSSIAN to do CPR…
😅😂😂❤
Dohohoho
Noooooo the way I screamed when I already scrolled too far down the comments before I got it 😂😂😂😂
Why did the skeleton not go sky diving. He didn’t have the guts XD😊
I used to do archery, and I never saw any accidents like that before, but we did use carbon-fiber arrows with round tips like that. When shooting at targets on thick blocks of foam, you can’t use jagged arrow heads like hunters, because they can easily get caught inside the foam and get stuck.
Yeah, there's strict rules at ranges. No one can go beyond the shooting line until the bell rings. All bows have to be put down or secured before entering the range to retrieve arrows. A head count is done every time after each retrieval round. A check to see if there is anyone still out in the range that couldn't be seen from the line. You can retrieve your bow and stand on the line when the majority are back, but if you knock an arrow before everyone is off the range you'll be told off/told to leave/disqualified. All to prevent injuries. These are the rules at my local archery range and at competitions, so idk if it's different in other places, but they take it very seriously. Realistically I could see that type of injury more so happening to a hunter whose hunting at dark hours than anyone in an indoor range.
I've also used the tips shown in the clip in competitions because they're actually easier to pull out of the foam and they're lighter than the more blunter bullet style. I went through many of them lol using the tapered tip the allows the arrows go deeper inside the foam, which makes those tips perfect for shooting the 3D foam animal targets (forgot the actual name of them). I've actually had my arrows get stuck with those tips before so it's not always that it won't get stuck.
Sorry for the long comment, I like sharing what I know lol
@@SnowieShibaI don’t know much about this sport but it’s nice hearing about the safety measures that is required for it. And also so relatable! If k know what I’m talking about I love sharing it
6:10 for some reason the mere mention of "jugular [vein]" made me remember the guy who got a similar injury and said "put a thumb in it" lol
Kentucky Ballistics yeah, it’s a miracle he survived that
AS A CHICAGO FIRE FAN I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD
Literally me too lmao
I'm a firefighter and obsessed with this show.
This just reminds me of the punchline of "and then I got here"
SAME I LOVE CHICAGO FIRE SO MUCH
@@d.wright6635 thank you for your service ❤
At 16:08, that’s his best friend and coworker who came looking for him because he didn’t show up to work the previous shift
9:16 RIP headphone users XD
Really 😂
yeah rip your hearing
Looks like doctor Mike needs more patients. 😳😂
Docter mike:NO PULSE WHAT DO YOU DO 9:09 Me: CHEST COMPRESSION Mom: stop yelling at the iPad
Please do a fire/EMS video with Fire Department Chronicles. He's great at ripping apart fire shows, and you'd make a great team. Keep up the good work & chest compressions :-)
There was an episode where a little girl drank hand sanitizer thinking it was candy. I always think about it anytime someone reacts to Chicago Fire
17:25 "the straw pierced her cranial cavity!" The teenage girl with a F*cking straw through her brain sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HER: 😰 🤦♀️
Love how Dr. Mike goes full Shaun at 9:15 😂
OmG - Dr. Mike doing the football celebration dance with the baby made me literally LOL... I needed that today, thank you. 😆
You should absolutely react to the 70s series about paramedics "Emergency!" . I'm pretty sure it was one of the first medical related shows that made an effort to be as realistic as they could with medical tech and procedures.
Yes, please! I love that show :)
@12:20 the baby has some insane plot armor.
Love watching dr Mike getting annoyed by those dramas. So funny. Thanks for he video. Needed it today to distract from reality ❤
My motivation, DoctorMike!❤
our pleasure derived from
watching Dr Mikes videos is positively related to Dr Mike’s level of anger and frustration
You are the best docter ever❤❤❤😊😊
10:45 - You are supposed to keep doing CPR, to keep the baby alive, and RAPIDLY transport them to the hospital, where they will likely do a C-section
12:26 🤣🤣🤣 this episode is top tier haha
Note to self - Do not hand Doctor Mike any babies. 😂
im so happy we got this video! chicago fire my favourite show ❤❤
Showing the first clip and making us relive Ottis' death is WILD Dr.Mike XD
I've been contemplating about watching this show. Thank you, Dr. Mike for saving my brain cells. SWAT, The Rookie, and Tracker take up my time. I so need to catch up on SEAL Team sometime.
Thank you Dr.Mike for teaching me
so many important health tips it makes
me Want to be a doctor!
1:02 "What am I looking at?" I love your channel😂❤
Yes finally I've been dying for more One Chicago this was so fun to watch the reactions were brilliant I can't wait for more. Also the man in the machine with the boy is a firefighter.
My favorite part of the week is when Dr. Mike posts a video, and I get to see him laugh about all the dumb things on social media. 😆
Fire is so scary. The burn wounds look like the worst thing ever.
I get a tiny burn, and it hurts like 10 out of 10. I can’t even imagine serious burns. 😢
@@Tracey66by third degree the nerves are dead and it hurts less.
At least its not chemical brun. Much less HF burn.
One of my favorite First Responder dramas of all time. Probably only second to Chicago P.D. for me. Hope you do even more reactions to Fire, Dr. Mike! Would absolutely love that. Fire's got some wiiiild medical scenes--especially with their EMS staff that they roll with fairly often, or separately, all throughout the show! Very unique and cool dichotomy as you get really good insight into both worlds in a generally FD-based series. I also feel they overall do a really solid job at showcasing a lot of their medical situations, again especially with their EMS team members!
Dr. Mike, I'm so glad I found your channel. You crack me up and as a retired medical examiner and Forensic Pathologist, I appreciate your knowledge and sense of humor. 😊
Another day another video, Dr Mike never fail to make us happy!
I'm not a medical professional but I feel like that arrow shaft could have just been cut with bolt cutters and that avoids the vibration issue altogether
I cry everytime when Otis dies, I loved him so much!!
Dr. Mike has me yelling CHEST COMPRESSIONS whenever I watch a show or a movie and someone goes down. Then I start yelling “what are you doing?!” When they decide to shock the patient when they’re flatlining
a relaxing channel who now i want to be a doctor because of him
Doctor Mike this is perfect I’m in EMT school right now!!!
thank you mike for all your knowledge and passion towards educating those future doctors ❤️🩺
The tractor part is genuinely a smart thing to do, if you get trapped if you can Hotwire it, the vehicle is easily strong enough to lift itself and the ladder to free you, if I didn’t call for help (I would) I would immediately try to flip the car over, before trying all that stuff he did
I love hearing Sam's laugh in the background lol
My husband only watches Dr. Mike from the background when I watch it, and the other day when we were watching a show he yelled, "CHEST COMPRESSIONS!" Doctor Mike style😎
Hi doctor Mike ! Happy early birthday.I somehow wanna be a doctor when I grow up and I get all my inspirations from you😊.Your the only social media doctor I follow...😅 I always watch your videos to get a grip in medical knowledge.😊
9:16 bro had enough 😂😂😂
The emergency C-section in the field happened in NJ. The crew lost their jobs and there were huge lawsuits because the paramedics acted outside their scope of practice. It is expected that the crews perform CPR to keep oxygen flowing until they reach a hospital that can handle an emergency surgery.
I got a fish hook through my Achilles tendon one time. It was a treble hook with three barbs. The orderly at the hospital took a pair of wire cutters and just started clipping off the other barbs without telling me or giving me anything for pain. He almost got a kick in the face. They had to surgically remove it and sew my tendon back together. Six weeks in an immobilization boot.
TV doctor: lets start an I.V.
Dr. Mike: START CHEST COMPRESSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doctor Mike's frustrated screams and face at 9:17-9:18 is just hilarious. LOL
But he is absolutely correct on STARTING THE CONFOUNDED CHEST COMPRESSIONS!!!! XD
I needed some laughs, thank you!
Chicago Fire is a delight, though some of its injuries are absurd. I'm possibly wrong, but one guy got blown up by a barbecue and was impaled on a basketball hoop, another guy impaled on a traffic light, and there was one who was hanging from a construction crane impaled on a hook.
They really do like impaling ppl on this show huh? I haven't really noticed but having it written out like that is kinda funny.
The last one is a dead-by-daylight ahh injury 💀
Rare but never zero
9:50 reminds me of The Office scene where Kevin was doing CPR for like 20 seconds and said "I can't do this anymore, call it"
Have a great day and night everyone remember you matter
Doctor Mike my family love your knowledge that you share excellent teacher of hospital live
THIS VIDEO IS ALL I ASKED FOR, CHICAGO FIRE IS MY LIFE
THANK YOU SO MUCH
That last clip is exactly why I have a slight fear with straws. If I’m using a straw in something whether I’m carrying it or it’s sitting on the table/cup holder I always face the straw away from me.
As a paramedic who has been in EMS for almost 10 years some of these scenes drive me INSANE. My fiancé laughs at me for torturing myself through watching the occasional episode here and there 😂😂😂
17:04 this killed me 😂
Nooo BRUCY 😭
Doctor Mike please just keep informing the public with your videos
I love this! I’m off to binge -watch more Dr Mike reaction videos
