Doctor Reacts To Pirates Of The Caribbean Injuries

- Pirates And hospitals have a lot in common. Come on. Peg legs, eye patches. There's a lot of medicine to digest and we're about to do it by reacting to scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. Huge thanks to Grammarly for sponsoring this video. Let's get started. Be-whoop! That's a hat. - This promotion froze into sharp relief, that which I have not yet achieved. - A marriage to a fine woman. - I can't breathe. Panic attack, hyperventilation, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy, which is also known as broken heart syndrome. There's a lot of diagnoses that are at the top of my differential here, and there's obviously a traumatic component to this. - And then they made me their chief. (water splashing) - See that was a pretty high fall. Wouldn't be so comfortable to land from that high up. The higher you jump from, the more the water ends up acting like concrete, because the water can't displace fast enough when you actually answer the water, especially if you land like, pancake style. - Will you be saving her then? - I can't swim. - Hero of the King's Navy you are. Do not lose this. Remember when a person is drowning, in most situations, here might be a little bit different, but when you do CPR, usually we always say it's just chest compression, chest compression, chest compression. But with the drowning victim, you actually do do rescue breaths. Important to remember. Wow, she went down deep. And he went down deep too. (water bubbling) Yeah, that corset also makes it difficult to breathe. A lot of these binders and clothes that they used to wear can constrict one's breathing and make it difficult to take large, expansive breaths whereby you actually lose the lower portion of the air sacks inside your lungs. You can actually see it on an X-ray. - Not breathing! Move. (woman coughing) - I never would've thought of that. - Clearly you've never been to Singapore. - What happens in Singapore? - [Producer] Stays in Singapore. - Oh. See in these areas, they have way too much smoke going on. That's going to be a hindrance to optimal athletic performance, which is what you want in a battle. If I was a general, I would actually ask to put the torches out and instead get like, drummers going because we know that musical activity can actually bring up the heart rate, elevate the heart rate, prepare one for battle, but smoke and stuff will just yield to congestion and make you feel all asthmatic and stuff. What was that? Oh, does he have a an artificial eye, like an ocular prosthesis? These actually used to be made out of glass. Now they're using like an acrylic plastic substance. There's cool innovations being made in this field with like, LCD and OLED technology in order to make the eye more realistic. Obviously if you're just looking straight ahead, artists can make it look really good with paint and stuff, but your pupil needs to be able to react to light that makes it feel real. The eye can match the other eye's motion through this eye tracking technology where it makes the artificial eye match the real eye and you won't be able to get your vision back if you have a prosthesis, but if you can make it match, from an appearance standpoint, that can be quite valuable. - Don't! - Hello, chum. - Oh! Not compatible with life. Although if you didn't have good aim, I guess it could be, but like based off that it looked like non-compatible. Okay, how are you jumping 15 feet and your knees are just like, eating it? I'm sure his meniscus is like, screaming right now, the little two C-shaped cartilaginous rings that sit on your knee, the lateral medial menisci. Ooh, that jump is gonna hurt. (bullet flying) There's just a lot of trauma happening right now and if I was a trauma surgeon, I'd be having a field day. But given that I'm a primary care doctor, I'm thinking more about the social anxiety that they're all experiencing, and thinking about how that's gonna impact their blood pressure, the aches and pains that they're gonna feel after battle. (glass shattering) How do people in movies just punch glass and like, don't have giant shards of glass in their hand? Remember, when you punch, and let's say you get a sharp stuck in there, when you open your hand, the skin moves and that thing just jams deeper into your like, hand. That's why it's so dangerous when you get a fight bite and you punch someone, the bacteria gets in there, then you relax your hand, the bacteria is then trapped in there, can't make its way out, so it seeds into your joint, potentially into your bone, potentially into your blood, leading to sepsis. (grimaces) - Say goodbye! - Oh no. (glass shattering) - Argh! Oh my god, I sound like a pirate now too. Ah! Oh my god, do you think pirates say "Arrr" because they constantly have achy joints? You know what? The only disease that comes to mind when we're dealing with pirate stuff from like my medical school days, scurvy, which happens as a result of lack of vitamin C and one of the main symptoms of that are bleeding gums. When they were traveling on all these ships and they would be vitamin C deficient, the way they treated it, gave folks oranges, and it made it all better. But nowadays, no one is really vitamin C deficient. Not only because we eat those important foods, but also a lot of foods are fortified these days, where we add certain vitamins and minerals to foods that normally don't contain them. Oh, that's a snake. Gotta be careful with snakes. Is that a poisonous one? Based on the color of that snake? Like the red with the dots. It looks sus, it looks potentially venomous. Remember poison, you ingest, venom, you get bit. (pirates screaming) Fall from a thousand plus feet. Non-compatible with life. Doesn't matter that you're in that nice ball. You know, maybe if they had one of those inflatable thingamabobbits that they put at the bottom of buildings for like, stunt people. Oh, I feel like there's a whale in coming. Oh, I knew it. Sea creature! Is that an octopi? Multiple octopi? Oh, you gotta be careful. Octopus don't really fight with men. There have been some weird instances where like, the camera lens flashed in a certain way where one octopus auto was another octopus and got into a fight. But generally they're like, peaceful animals, at least to us. But this is like a mystical one. I don't think this is a regular, like this isn't your typical octopus that you would get in a Mediterranean restaurant. - [Pirate] Break it! - Oh my god. Oh, he's making some calamari for sure. That's squid, actually. Oh, maybe this is a squid. I don't know. I'm acting like I'm a biologist, but I'm not. I'm not like a human biologist like some people are. (flagstaff smashing) I see tentacles, I think octopus. (intense music) That is not compatible with ship life. While pirates like Jack Sparrow might be able to sword fight their way out of trouble, they're still a bit behind when it comes to their reading and writing skills. It might be a few centuries too late, but Grammarly Pro's AI writing tools definitely would've improved their writing. You see, Grammarly is an AI writing partner that works where you work so you can craft quality writing faster across different platforms. No more copying and pasting like other AI tools. After using the free version for years, I've upgraded to Grammarly Pro, which has some awesome new features. Strategic suggestions is definitely one of them because that actually helps me improve my writing. You see, once I finish writing I can ask Grammarly to give it a once over and suggest ways to make my writing more impactful and clearer. Some of my medical scripts come out pretty dense and complicated, so Grammarly helps make them easier to understand. The biggest boost to my speed though has come from app actions, which allows me to share a script I'm working on with my producer, Sam, all from the body of the email itself. Previously I had to switch between all sorts of tabs to collaborate with him, but now I use app actions to save us a ton of time. 96% of Grammarly users report that it helps them craft more impactful writing and I'm certainly no different.

He's frocking, shit! - Tie the tablet of the mast. Upside downs when the boat flips when we do right way up. - What? I don't understand. They also have really bad dental care probably 'cause of the lack of fluoride in their water. That's why we actually supplemented areas where there is no fluoride. (pirates yelling) (pirates screaming) Oh, oh! Oh, he got caught, oh. Just for a second I thought he's good, but that's not compatible with life. Cannon into the face. - Stop! Hold very still. - Oh no, oh no, what is it, what is it? Oh, that' a poison dart frog. I've actually read a lot about these. Back in the day, indigenous tribes would actually take darts that they would like, the blow darts, and get some of the poison off of the surface of the frog and that's where their name came from. The way that these frogs develop their poison is actually from the insects and stuff that they eat. So if you raise one at home, there's a world where it won't be as poisonous, if poisonous at all. - Why? What's wrong with an older man having a hobby? - Clearly I have the same hobby. You heard a Spider-Man, but have you ever heard of Frog Man? Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. (distorted voice cackling) - Aye. Poison, from the innards of poisonous toads. Just a scratch, you're a dead man in minutes. - Yeah, I think like poison dart frogs can kill like up to 10 men and like thousands of mice. It's how they protect themselves. They also have that unique color about them that warns, stay away. - You seek in this place where only faith can provide. - Faith? In faith there is light enough to see, but darkness enough to blind. (sword slices) - Yeah, that cut on the back of the hand, that's cutting some extensor tendons. Flexion would be here. Extension would be here. Oh, right in the pancreas! - For the Pearl. - What have you done? - Oh. - Angelica? Don't, it's poison! - Oh, what's poison? (gasps) Oh no. Did she get the the frog poison on her? No, that can cause paralysis. - Take on Blackbeard without a little venomous van. - I don't even know how to reverse the poison dart frog's venom. Like I would need help. I would consult someone here. A wildlife emergency room fellow trained physician. - I cannot save you both. One of you must sacrifice. You take it, father. For your soul. - Captain, teach. She's dying. You must save your daughter. - Rationing care is one of the hardest parts about practicing wartime medicine. And I know this isn't technically a war, but it's pirate ship stuff, which is like war. - This one takes life. This one has the tear and gives life. - Aye. hurry. - Imagine as a joke he just gave them 7-Up. Ha! You thought you were gonna get better. - In fact, it might have been the other way around. This cup had the tear. That one had the other bit. - Trickster! Get on! - Father! (water splashing) - Oh no. Oh, look at that. She's Wolverine now. - You bastard, I told you! - Your father saved you. Perhaps his soul is now redeemed. - Oh, the water's coming for him. This is all those who practice homeopathy. Always talk about water having memory, and if you actually put an enormously diluted sample of poison into water, it remembers. (whispering) So this is what's happening here. The water remembers his evilness and it cleanses his soul. You heard it here first. Ooh, loss of skin, not compatible with life. I don't even know how he's moving sans muscle. Like, you need muscle to move. How are his bones just floating? Yep. Should just collapse, into a bag of bones. See what happens? Don't play with frogs if you don't have the antidote, as I always say. (water burbling) Did he anchor the boat or did he anchor his ankle? Oh, that's gonna be too fast of a descent. Your ears are gonna pop bud! Also, he's not wearing a wetsuit, but that's why people who put on a wetsuit actually pump air into it to prevent it from squeezing them. (ship creaking) (intense music) That was way too fast of an ascent. You gotta control your ascent, especially in the last 20 feet or so. People don't understand when you go down and you spend time down there, nitrogen gets into your blood and then when you come up, if you come up too quickly, that nitrogen's gonna bubble up and that's gonna cause a problem. It's also known as the bends. They don't even have hyperbaric chambers down there. Clearly not PADI certified. (scoffs) - That's no ship, sir. It's a shipwreck. She's sailing straight to towards us. - Open fire! (pirates yelling) - Who are they? You have to know who you're shooting at. Who are you firing at? What is that? Is that Donkey Kong? Yeah, that's how I feel. (soldier choking) Some kind of super, super (indistinct). (neck snaps) Death? Ooh, that was a cervical fracture. Potentially vertebral artery dissection, which are the two arteries that run up and down your spine. Just go (blows raspberries) See, he wouldn't die that fast with that. It would be a quick death, but not like pssht, dead. You would need to bleed out a little bit. You need to stroke out a little bit. Some twitching and stuff. - How would you like to die, pirate? Hanging, firing squad, or a new invention? The guillotine. - Oh, you don't wanna have your head chopped off. I mean, I guess maybe you do. No one wants to get hung. A firing squad. No. I think guillotine actually. - Bring the basket. - Basket. Why? - Oh my god, there's gonna be a lot of blood. The carotids, they're gonna spray blood. I love that there's still heads in the basket. Like, could you at least clean the other heads out? - Fire! - Oh, oh! Oh no, what is gonna happen? (gallows smashing) (Jack Sparrow yelling) Oh wow. He got saved. Oh, oh, oh, oh. See the vertebral arteries again, they're right in the back there. They're primed for being severed. Oh, you, be careful. You already have the noose around the neck. You don't wanna lose your balance there, and fall off the platform. (swords clashing) - Thank you. - You're welcome, milady. - Oh! - Got you! - Oh. Why not cut the thing first? God, she would've broken her neck so quick, she might've died just from that. Did you know there are amazing sea survival stories that you need to hear? Click here to check that out. And as always, stay happy and healthy. (trap music)
