ER Doctor REACTS to Horrifying Bodycam Medical Emergencies

36 Comments

1. Which bodycam medical emergency do you think was the craziest?!

2. It’s amazing how the Human body works

3. 1:46 this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine…

   Yeah, fentanyl is dangerous if ingested without accurate dosing…

   But the videos of officers experiencing overdoses from like, skin contact…

   The officers I'm sure FULLY believe they're experiencing that overdose, and I'm also sure that narcan will reverse the symptoms…

   But so would saline administered as if it was narcan. Why? Because it's psychosomatic. Mind you, people often think that that means that the person is "just imagining it" or that they can just stop thinking the thing or that it's "just in your head," and, well, it's actually a bit more complex…

   Our minds are absurdly f*cking powerful. Like, to the point where if we think we can't breath…
   We're going to start experiencing symptoms of not breathing. And if we think we're, say, overdosing on something that induces respiratory depression…our brain can actually induce that respiratory depression. Like, our brains can produce physical symptoms given the right circumstances. So, the better way of putting it is, you're really experiencing the symptoms of an opioid overdose…
   The cause, though, isn't the fentanyl that you were handling with bare hands. The cause is your brain.

   That doesn't make the symptoms less real, and somewhat ironically is also the reason the narcan works (as if you're brain thinkz you're getting something to reverse the things you're brain is experiencing, it'll cause the brain to think it's better).

   Seriously, the placebo effect is very real (there's a reason why it's the control group in a study), and its "evil" cousin the nocebo effect is just as real (nocebo being instead of the thought of an inert thing helping you (the placebo effect), it's instead the thought of an inert thing hurting you)

   But, physiologically, fentanyl overdoses aren't a really a thing from handling the powdered drug with bare hands. Technically it can be absorbed transdermally (through the skin), but the rate is vanishingly slow unless specifically formulated for that route of administration.

   Inhaling the powder would likely be a bigger problem though, but the circumstances required to accidentally inhale enough to be problematic are quite implausible to say the least. It wouldn't just be tossing a bunch of power in someone's face, for instance. Putting the powder in like, a plastic bag, shaking the bag to aerosolize the powder, then adhering the bag to one's mouth/nose, well, that would probably cause an issue.

   And if you don't believe me, fair enough, I'm a stranger on the internet. But look up videos of pharmacists handling fentanyl. You'll be surprised

4. If she had a drug overdose from touching it. Why did her toxicity for drugs come back negative. Look into this it’s just police officers having panic attacks.

5. Du du du Batmedical 0:11

6. I normally love your stuff but spreading that propaganda about magically-dangerous-to-cops fentanyl is not cool.

7. Моя любимая сцена из фильма о наркотиках: нашедший подозрительное вещество полицай, дабы установить что это такое, пробует его на вкус! Альберт Хофман ЛСД в первый раз вообще случайно попробовал.

8. Weed laws in Iowa are weird. You can't smoke it, but THC drinks and edibles are legal.

9. Shit intro

10. Chest compressions chest compression

11. Back when I was on the ambulance as a medic the protocol for combative patients was to “sandwich” them between a scoop stretcher and a backboard.

12. Infants left inside 117 degree enclosed area for nearly an hour?!?

13. I found this very interesting. I’d watch more of this.

14. Can you watch Funky Town Gore from a medical point of view? I also have a question about the possibility of this video because it looks unrealistic.

15. I'm really getting mad of YouTube automatically putting AI dub over your videos

16. If a cop is hit by drugs it should be auto attempted 😅

17. Could you please review House tv show

18. My last cpr certification they said don't check for a pulse it takes to long. Just look for breathing and if none start chest compressions. When they get to me aed is already on though so i haven't had to check for a pulse myself during a call

19. That Sherifs’ deputy didnt have an OD, FYI. You should talk to Ryan Marino (toxicologist) on here, he’s great on this “opiate exposure” hysteria.

20. No that’s not the recommended pad placement. You also mixed up Vtach and Vfib…do better

21. Cops shooting up on the job?? Defunct the police

22. The fent doctors used is MUCH safer than street fent, smaller doses, different manufacturing techniques (I think)

23. Except there's no evidence suggesting that incidental environmental exposure to fentanyl powder can cause an overdose. Those videos are typically showing officers having full on panic attacks because they've had fear of fentanyl beaten into them.

24. The teen girl who had put her baby in the trash can is a part of the reason that teen pregnancy shouldn't be stigmatized nor celebrated. If you are a teen who don't want a baby after the said baby was born, you can always leave the baby at the hospital.

25. El Doctor quedo con cara de Shaquille O'Neal 😮

26. Блин, это все равно что оставить детей в печке! Или питомцев. Но почему то люди не засовываю их в духовку. Зато в машине оставляют. 😢

27. with the first instances, it just shows how stupid she is, in ignoring the signs of pregnancy, such as mood swings and increase vomiting,

28. Please do react to marvel zombies injuries

29. I do not understand how the paramedics got 1st degree murder charges. 1st is usually only for people that planned the murder. It was obviously your intention.
    If you didn't care that your patient couldn't breathe or if you were mad at him and punishing him, that would not be 1st degree.

30. In the country where I live, 911 is not used to call ambulances, police, and firefighters, because each service has its own phone number. For example, in my country, to call an ambulance, it's 15, to call the police, it's 17, and to call the firefighters, it's 18, because in France, each emergency service has its own number.

31. Remember, Charlie Kirk wanted to bail out the attacker. 5:35

32. Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Wagner, but I was wondering if you take recommendations for videos that have medical relevance in them? Please let me know if you take requests, sir.

33. Мне вместо СЛР послышалось ЛСД

34. To bad that video with the lady officer getting a overdose is fake sorry but opening up the trunk isn't going to do that i don't care what you say. Tell me this how in the faaak was the driver able to leave wherever they picked the stuff up and drive with no problems? Trunks of cars aren't airtight so therefore the person wouldn't have even left the driveway because they would've been exposed so that tells you that video is fake 100%.

35. Cops do the drugs intentionally. This whole thing about you can just touch these drugs and OD is BS!!

36. I actually wrote a paper in college and one of the points was the dangers of fentanyl. For part of my research I included a video of a police body cam, since it’s of a first hand experience it was technically counted as a credible source.
    The officers were searching this car and found that there was fentanyl in the trunk. The officer who found it just caught a tiny whiff of the stuff and almost immediately ODed. He did survive, his partner had administered Narcan to save his life. But that just shows how dangerous it can be.
