Doctor Reacts To Wild 9-1-1 Medical Scenes
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 12. 2021
- 9-1-1 is a hit drama on FOX about first responders handling emergencies in Los Angeles. So many of you in the comments have requested I react to this, so with zero knowledge of what I'm about to get into, let's go! Boy, what a rollercoaster this series is. These are absolutely some of the most ridiculous scenarios I've ever seen in a medical show, and there is a LOT wrong here. Regardless, we still talk about newborn babies, shark attacks, a boa constrictor choking a woman, unplanned births during yoga class, car accidents, a CZcams prank gone wrong, tanning booths, a nail incident, and, as always: chest compressions.

This show is more chaotic and dramatic than Dr. Mike, and that's saying a lot
Yesss!!
hi
Lol
omg yes LOL
True, and impressive
As horrifying as this show is I'm glad he finally figured out that they can't actually crack the actor's ribs doing chest compressions. XD
This is my favorite show lol
"horrifying" dramatic much?
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 CZcams or google are like “magical juice to cleans your arteries” or BS stuff like that
@@shogunackerman8501 idk but maybe you should visit the doctor if smt is blocking your arteries it could be very dangerous
As unrealistic has this show can be, the fact that almost all their cases are based on something that actually happened is incredible.
*unrealistic
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!

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.
I almost went into labor.

I haven’t watched this show but I was starting to wonder if there was something in the building that was making the other women go into labor.
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.
I have two nurses and a law clerk in my family so watching any medical or courtroom drama with them is the worst
@@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.
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
Jesus loves you all very much repent and believe onto Him and be saved from eternal punishment of sin amen, Jesus DIED for you
Dr. Mike realizing that the people in the show don't actually want to break ribs irl is hilarious lmao.
That’s what I was thinking🤣 he’s like, they’re not doing it hard enough! As if they’re not real people who are just pretending to not breathe😭😭
So glad you blered it
Lmfao. Fr 😂
Every CZcams doctor shouts that and you’d think they’d be smart enough to recognize the reality of it all lmao
@@Analaya749because you can blow people up, light people on fire, kill people, but CPR is too difficult to recreate….

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! 😂

“What are you?”
“An idiot defibrillator”
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 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.
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.
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
@@Manintheboxjunkie ur still alive, i guess it works
Right in time for the new years exercise resolutions.. next year's resolution is to not run at all.
Media be like:
ok run=ded ok no more run
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 know this show isn't realistic, like basically all medical dramas, I still love it. It's weirdly refreshing to see a decent portrayal of trauma and stuff like that in first responders. Despite all the weirdness, I do like it!
Same!
10:41 as an EMT I was taught to cover with a cup and moist bandage both eyes so when they look around with an non hanging eye the hangy one wouldn't move more.
“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
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 😂
You know your content is good when you get someone who is scared of anything medical related, to watch your channel hours on end.(yes me) Your doing a great Job Dr. Mike! Thank you for the education
I love that show and the spin of, never expect such a show to be realistic. the story telling and character development is just really great :D love your reactions to that :D
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 😂
I know right. And then on top of the roof with the snake lady🤦🏾♀️
And the pool lady in the new season 💀
I mean Buck did get fired and then rehired at the end of the episode
I had a paramedic tell me I had deep vein thrombosis as I was being transported. The ER doctor just checked to make sure i didn't have that and sent me home. I had osteomyelitis and spent the next six months on IV antibiotics after I was correctly diagnosed by my PCP two months later. They do need to keep their theories to themselves.
“ Yeah. What are you sad.” Had me on the floor
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.
My dads a medic and my moms a nurse too but they haven’t ever heard of this show, man they would love how stupid it is though😂
"I always choose to save the more attractive one"
"Nope, he's gone"
All classic quotes, I think I need to watch this show now
I and every snake lover ever just threw a chair
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.” 🤣🤣🤣
I shall not saveth thou from likes
"I always choose to save the more attractive one"
Sooooo... the snake
i always choose to save the richer one
@Doctor Mike we NEED more of these med show reviews
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)
This had me crying. Your reactions to the ridiculousness are too funny.
LOL
bro ur literally everywhere
NO, SHES COME TOO FAR
If you liked his reactions check out the channel fire department chronicles, that guy is hilarious
Ikr
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?
my stomach started hurted and I got a headache after this.
But i still love you channel
i know that bones isn't really a medical show but i would love to see this guy react to it
There's a very good reason why it's so easy for them to diagnose the patients so quickly! As good actors, they've read the rest of the script!
HAHAHHAHA LMAOO
"Good" actors? Debatable.

1:10 💀💀💀”gotta push a little deeper”
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.
*Dude's eyes pop out of his eye socket*
Docter Mike: "That's a problem."
i think he’s an Empath
@@ytguy6252 empath?
@@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.
That’s just how a normal person picks up signals from their environment. Congratulations on not being a sociopath.
i looked away during that scene just something about the bug eyes
you should watch more of these
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.
"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.
“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
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.
I love these reactions
Dr Mike is the best! Love your vids mate stay safe
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
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.
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
You are seriously my fav CZcamsr
I have watched this video so many times and how he says hit the bullseye cracks me up every single time 😂😂😂
My youngest was born at 32 weeks and you could've heard him through anything, minus the whole surviving under water thing. He was SO angry
something about imagining your absolutely FURIOUS baby is sending me omg
lmaooo I just love the idea of an angry premature baby like 'WHY am I out here it was so much comfier in there I'm ANGY'
LOL I remember mom talking about my older brother "squalling before he left the hatch". Not even fully born yet and WAAAAAAAHH
but he wasnt under water. the pipes are empty until its flushed
@@kenziesmyth485 he'd still of likely been gone (survival rate would be 1 percent at most) - unless he was some magical Mario baby.
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
@@Crystal_kit20 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.
its pl
Dr. Mike one of my favorite tv shows growing up was Rescue 911 you should do a review of the tv show I know that it will serprise you on how medical acurate it is . Hope you enjoy the show
The baby in the wall is hilarious lol 😂😂😂😂
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.
what even is this show?? is it a documentary? the onion? not the onion? really fucked up sketch comedy?
@@octaviolopez7475 It's a medical drama, along the lines of ER or Chicago Hope.
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 TV has never meant to be realistic, Infact it's an escape from reality for many.
YESSSSS! I’ve responded to so many comments about the show not being accurate. But what you posted is beautifully said.
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
Dr. Mike getting angry at the paramedic's diagnosing patients had me rolling

I know that was awesome 😂😂
@@alexare7948 lollll same

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, CZcams, 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 love this show so much. btw i just saw that they will be back with another season this march. i miss 911 lone star too
In my PDHPE class in Australia, we've been told that it's become more of a "non-necessity "to look for a pulse as they hard to detect sometimes which can waste valuable time.
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
5:16
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.
I watched a show with Steve Irwin, rip, and he said that a snakes tail is their ‘lock in,’ essentially, if you unravel it by the tail you should be able to stop it from restricting.
I don't know what this show is, but wow! Hahah brilliant video!
*"Those are terrible chest compressions!"*
Wise Words from the Chest Compressions God
lol
They are doing it for a show. You figure it out
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.
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.
@@blxrryyisboring2712 no no. Go FULL method. Stop the person's heart and then do it. High stakes acting right there.
why'd he sound so poetic saying "i mean you could die from anything" haha, awesome video btw
As a paramedic for 25 years i can assure you I've never used my stethoscope to listen to a wall. I hate this show but love your videos lol
One thing they kind of got right with the burn patient is, if we arrive on a traumatic arrest with no signs of life we will generally pronounce in many areas.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
@@AndiNewtonian Oh you're right and let's not forget that Hen is concurrently in Med School.
Love this series
For some reason dr Mike is the only doctor I will ever listen to
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!”
Woman: "it's a tiger shark"
And then they show a white shark, one of the most recognizable species.
Even Mike got it right with the illustration🤣🤣🤣
We need a "zoologist/vet react to 9-1-1" video
We need this man's own show

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.
I hope your husband isn't part of that blue wall of silence. All cops who partake in it are the problem.
What’s this show called? I think I might like it but I can’t find it
@@MrGamelover23 just leave politics aside on some channel
@@Bear-le6wi 9-1-1 they also have a spinoff based in Texas called 9-1-1 Lone Star
@@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.
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
@@weartsandcrafts7775 how?💀
Dr Mike, this is hilarious! 😂
I LOVE THIS SHOW !!
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
Omg I've been in a dark depressed state for almost 2 weeks and when he said "she couldn't unplug it?!" I laughed for the first time. Thanks!
Hey, I hope you're doing better now :)
First thing I said!
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
dark humour best humour
You are a good doctor
I love hearing camera crew giggling😂
I've always liked the ridiculousness of 9-1-1, really cool to see you cover it.
The FDC greenscreen videos are brilliant for poking holes in 9-1-1
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
@@DEBRAH408 most of these cases are pulled from actual cases, wouldn't be surprised if that somehow happened too.
@@MrGamelover23 interesting, explains how the editor found that story on it irl, thanks!
it’s a bad type of “reality show”
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
i love that show
Yeeaah, at least from my personal experience in a small town some paramedics and ambulance drivers seem to barely know where they are, there's no way they could diagnose and fix people on the spot. Ngl, from the beautiful displays of professionalism I've witnessed, one time I legit wondered if one of the paramedics had been hired exclusively because, being a local, he could speak my dialect in order to communicate more easily with elderly folks
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.
@@zuilia99 don't forget, it's a show with a freeway shark attack.
@@zuilia99 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.
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.
When you described G-lock it made me think of when I tried doing a situp in the graviton.. I got like half way up and my vision faded out so I went to let myself back to the laying position and my arm nearmissed some kids head 😂.. the rest of the night my sense of direction was pretty much on Zolo from One Piece's level.. not sure I could recommend attempting it..
i learnt alot in this chaotic show
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.
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
There’s many things in this show that are highly unrealistic but yet I still love the show so much.
U and I had the exact same response, I also said “what’s this conversation?” We literally said it at the same time 😂😂
I have never seen this man so stressed, LIKE EVER BEFORE.
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 😂
I love this show and it pisses me off how Mike just brushes off "might have's and could be's" and just goes HOW CAN YOU BE SURE ABOUT THAT!?!
And I'm here like "THEY AREN'T CAN'T YOU LISTEN?? 😂
0:26 the literal sense of im inside your wall
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.
