Medical Emergencies Caught On Live TV

Spread The Viralist



Live TV is so exciting because anything can happen, and sometimes that means injuries. Today I’m reacting to injuries and medical emergencies that happened on live tv. We’re talking America’s Got Talent, American Idol, newscasters having strokes, dehydration, Wendy Williams overheating, swallowing swords, being hit with a motorcycle, vasovagal syncope, drowning, Dan Harris, and magical tricks like David Blaine’s needle in going wrong. Which clips did I miss? Let me know down below.

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

  1. I've only ever had one true, real, uncontrollable anxiety attack that had no discernable emotional trigger. It was the result of maltreatment after a total thyroidectomy nearly three years prior. My adrenal glands were working overtime to compensate for the imbalance in my thyroid hormones, and the result was that my anxiety spiked randomly one day at work. Completely out of nowhere. I had to step outside for 15 minutes to sit on the grass in the sun and just practice breathing. I went another two years before Covid dumped me into severe hypo, and I ditched my endo for everything but neck ultrasounds and chose a naturopath instead. I was finally put on NDT, and I took a cortisol test and learned that I had pretty significant adrenal fatigue (something my endo didn't believe in). All my levels were below normal range, and my waking and bedtime levels were inverted. My waking levels still haven't risen above my bedtime levels, which leaves me prone to insomnia and makes it very hard for me to get up and moving in the mornings even after a full eight hours of sleep.

  2. The one about panic attacks reminded me of how one night I had a panic attack and the next day at school I told my bff (at the time) and she said normal people don’t have panic attacks 🤯

  3. I have had migraine since i was a teen. A couple of times it has affected my speach like the reporter in the video. It startded with all the usual signs of a migraine, so I knew it was not a stroke, but it was really scary all the same. I just COULD NOT say the right words. I heard them in my head but someting very different came out. At the same time it was really very comical. It lasted for maybe 10-15 mins. My dad has experienced it too. Never live on TV fortunately.
    🙉🤕

  4. I remember when my sister scared me so bad I stopped breathing because of a panic attack-ish thing idk what it was but when I was younger I got really bad panic attacks that I had to go to the ER once now I work on that type of stuff

  5. I had a vasovagal syncopation happen, ironically, in a “Responding to Emergencies” class I was taking at a local community college for my physical education degree. The class thought it was staged, until they realized the teacher was on 911 for real and putting me in to a feet off the ground lying down recovery position to get blood going back to my head. I was sitting in the front row of the class and just remember trying not to pass out, next thing I know I’m opening my eyes and looking my professor in the face like wtf just happened?? My next class back was a little embarrassing but I did ask for extra credit bc of my demonstration I gave the class😂

  6. I had a similar migraine/stroke episode a couple of years ago. While I was cooking dinner I had shimmery vision (I'd never had a migraine before so didn't recognise what it was), then after we finished dinner my family were talking to me and I was not responding like normal. My husband helped me into bed and called an ambulance as we all thought I was having a stroke. I ended up unable to move or talk. They performed a bunch of tests including a CT scan and lumbar puncture. Unfortunately for me I was completely aware of everything that they were doing and I have a horrible fear of needles in my spine, to the extreme of having all three of my babies with no pain relief as that was preferable to an epidural in my mind haha. I remember when I realised they were doing a lumbar puncture thinking to myself "stop being silly, just speak and tell them you were joking and you're okay", but obviously I was unable to do that due to the inability to move or speak. My husband said that at that time my heart rate went through the roof.

    Once they eliminated all other possibilities they said that it was a migraine and have me a 900mg dose of aspirin. Everything cleared up within an hour of the aspirin, but I ended up staying in over night to be monitored.

    Since that episode I have only had one other migraine that resulted in me being unable to see. It was right at the end of the day and I was getting my year 5/6 science class to pack up and one of the boys goes "miss you're looking at me funny". I replied "that is because I can't see you". I grabbed my phone to call a colleague to come and help and I couldn't see my screen as it as just shimmers of colour everywhere. Thankfully it didn't progress as far as the first one, but it definitely had me freaking out.

  7. It's actually highly suggested that the news anchor had a Hemiplegic Migraine or a Complex Migraine, as suggested. However, it mimicked a stroke off camera. That lends itself to the former. They perfectly mimic strokes but resolve. What you saw on camera is something called, "Aphasia." It is, basically, when the language area of your brain is affected, and you have a hard time communicating. This can present in many ways, this being the most common.

  8. Hey doc,one of my discorf friends said one day he was with hight pressure blood and could not move his legs,so,what you think can be the reason,well you know,u a doctor

  9. Dr. Mike I have a question. Panic attacks were mentioned and I have a question pertaining to them. Let me preface by giving you the story of the situation. I was in the 6th grade in study hall when all of a sudden my whole body went numb kinda like when your foot goes to sleep, but I could still pick stuff up but I was so numb that I couldn't feel the item in my hand so I finally got up and walked to the teacher basically scared out of my mind and whispered to her what was wrong so she sends me to the nurse who then gives me a brown paper sack and tells me to breathe in and out of it and then says you were having a panic attack. I had a couple more that felt the same way while in school. Anywho fast forward all the way to now and I've had panic attacks here and there but none of them felt that same way. Only reason I've never asked until now was simply because I thought it was the truth. But is that really so? Can a panic attack actually do that to you? Like I know you mentioned numbness but like what I had was pins and needles my whole body went to sleep like your foot might do and I could pick stuff up and not feel said item in my hand.

  11. I have vaso vagal episodes frequently due to endometriosis and I'm going to get a hysterectomy due to how often it causes me to faint. I always tell people that I have a vaso vagal syncope and that it's very common, but the way I pass out so often is uncommon for most people. I feel like the dad might have worded it strange and the TV producers had it edited for time.
    But I'm with you- my heart goes out to all my homies who struggle with passing out
