00:00I've reacted to YouTuber injuries before, but apparently there's a few I missed.

00:03So let's check those out and get started.

00:07Got some football.

00:09Football stuff.

00:09Oh, is this destroying?

00:12I heard something about this.

00:15It's crazy how life could change.

00:17Was that the injury?

00:17Was that when it happened?

00:19You know, leading a head down is not the correct way to make a tackle from a safety perspective.

00:24Instantly as I hit him, my whole left side of my body go numb.

00:27Oh no.

00:27My arm is hurting.

00:28Oh no.

00:29My neck is hurting and a team doctor evaluated me and he said, I'm all right for now.

00:33Let's put some tiger balm on it, finish off the game and we'll do further tests afterwards.

00:38But I don't know if I'll be tackling people like that again.

00:40Yeah, whenever you lead with the crown of your helmet,

00:44you essentially open up your neck to all sorts of injuries.

00:46That's why ideally you want to be tackling almost with the shoulder

00:49and being able to visualize the person you're making the tackle of.

00:53So what happened to you?

00:54Uh, on kickoff, I went in and tackled somebody in proper form, head was down.

01:01And I mean, I guess I'm-

01:02Do you have a video of it by any chance?

01:05See, that's a great question by that physician because mechanism of injury is so important.

01:09In the video, you could see his neck snap backwards,

01:12signifying that there's a hyperextension injury.

01:14And hyperextension of the neck is very, very dangerous because not only are there

01:18some connective tissue parts like the ligaments in the area,

01:22then you also have in the back two arteries that run up

01:25on either side of the spine called vertebral arteries.

01:28And when you have hyperextension, especially to one side,

01:30you can actually sever those arteries.

01:32It's obviously not what's going on here.

01:33I'm just describing the dangers of a hyperextension injury.

01:37What did you feel when you did it?

01:39Left arm went numb and my neck just instantly got stiff.

01:43So if I touch you here and here, is that 100% equal?

01:46Yeah.

01:47Here?

01:48Yeah.

01:48This is a good evaluation from a neuro exam standpoint.

01:52You're not just checking muscular function.

01:54You're also checking sensation.

01:56Is any of that super tender?

01:58It's slower.

02:01You've had a pretty significant injury to your neck.

02:04You fractured what's called the lamina and you've broke them at C5.

02:10You've also disrupted, there's a ligament that's not on this model

02:13that runs up and down the front of your spine called

02:16the anterior longitudinal ligament.

02:18That's a very severe injury.

02:20He essentially broke his neck.

02:22The neck is made up of seven vertebral bodies, C1 to C7.

02:27And the higher up on the spinal cord that you have an injury,

02:31the more devastating it is.

02:32C5, depending on where that injury is, can impact your upper arm muscles.

02:38It can impact your ability to speak, like your vocal cords

02:41and make it more difficult for you to breathe.

02:43And that's if the injuries of the spinal cord.

02:45Right now, all we know is that the injuries of the bone,

02:48and specifically it's the posterior portion of the spine known as the lamina.

02:52If it was any other part of the spine,

02:56it's likely that he would have had more symptoms.

02:57But when you have the lamina fracture,

03:00that actually creates an opening for swelling to happen

03:03and actually can mitigate the symptoms.

03:06We actually perform what's known as a laminectomy,

03:09where we remove that part of the spine to allow less damage

03:12to occur for the spinal cord during other back injuries.

03:15So the fact that that part broke can allow a situation to happen

03:19where he's not sure that this is a devastating neck injury.

03:22That's why it's so dangerous.

03:23And so, I mean, it was a major bony and ligamentous injury.

03:27And you have two small disc herniations at C5-6 and C6-7.

03:31Disc herniations happen as a result of major pressure on the discs.

03:35Those are like the little spongy areas in between the vertebrae.

03:38Depending on where it herniates, it can create different symptoms.

03:42So if it herniates inward,

03:43it can actually put pressure on the spinal cord itself,

03:46which could be devastating.

03:47If it goes outward or to the side,

03:48it could put pressure on the nerves that exit the spinal cord

03:52and have symptoms on only one side versus the other.

03:54The reality of this is that this will probably heal,

03:58but it's probably going to be three months in that collar for it to heal.

04:02I don't need surgery, right?

04:03No.

04:03That's interesting that they're saying he doesn't need surgery.

04:06It must be a very limited fracture

04:09because a lot of times in a situation where the C5 vertebrae are fractured,

04:14you do need fusion surgery to make sure that they're stable.

04:17So I don't know the extent of the damage here,

04:19but it clearly must be at a reasonable amount

04:21that they feel he can just allow the area to heal

04:24with the C collar on protecting the spine

04:26and then do some rehab work as well.

04:28You know, sending my best wishes to a speedy recovery to destroying on this

04:32because I can't imagine how hard it is for being an athlete

04:35and having this happen to you.

04:37By the way, this car that we've been standing next to this entire time,

04:40I bought this.

04:40The reason I had to buy a brand new car was because the next myth is that

04:43you can break a car window with your fist.

04:45Oh no, don't do this.

04:47Not only is someone going to get cut and going to bleed a lot,

04:50someone's going to break a bone in their head.

04:52That's not even a myth.

04:54You're not supposed to do this.

04:55There's even specific hammers that people have inside their car to break out

04:59in case they're trapped or they're sinking.

05:03Here we go.

05:04Oh!

05:10People, be careful what you do for views

05:12because this could become so dangerous.

05:14Like cutting yourself in areas where you have major arteries

05:17is so scary because you could die in a minute or so.

05:20Max getting stitches right now.

05:22That was a awful way to start the day.

05:24That was a stupid thing to do.

05:25That was a stupid bit.

05:26And creating entertaining content, we sometimes get carried away.

05:28That is a lesson learned on getting carried away right there.

05:31Don't do that.

05:32You don't understand.

05:32Don't play with glass.

05:33Don't play with sharp objects.

05:34I can't tell you how easy it is for things to go wrong.

05:38So it's freshman year.

05:40I wanted to do like an activity.

05:42What I tried to do was parkour.

05:45And it was like supposed to be a quote unquote beginner parkour thing.

05:49I hate when things are say beginner because they're always still so hard.

05:52Like I'll take a beginner yoga class and not walk the next three days.

05:56I just started using the tonal machine.

05:58I did a beginner class and it was so high intensity

06:00in terms of going from exercise to exercise.

06:02I got so sore even though like I'm pretty strong.

06:04It's really funny.

06:06It's time to drop from the second story and do a sweet tuck and roll

06:10into this little grass patch.

06:12That sounds so scary for a beginner.

06:13Like maybe you should just practice that on a mat first.

06:16That I realized they assumed I knew how to do a tuck and roll.

06:21Which I had never done in my life.

06:23Should probably practice it before doing it off the second floor.

06:26Markiplier, come on, bud.

06:28And so they're all giving me encouraging words.

06:30They're like, you can do it.

06:32So I'm like, I got this.

06:33And so I drop and I landed from the second story straight onto my ass.

06:40Oh my god, I feel for his coccyx already.

06:45Donut pillow incoming.

06:47And you know, at the time, I never connected the dots to me falling on my ass

06:51and possibly breaking something in my spine to this weird thing

06:54where I'd go to the gym and work my spine and I would be in horrible agony.

06:59I mean, obviously it could be anything.

07:01My suspicion is there's some kind of herniation poking out a nerve

07:04that gets accentuated with either flexion or extension.

07:07Or it could be something completely different like SI joint pain or hip joint pain.

07:12Just usually those are not as electric in nature.

07:14Also, there could be like piriformis issues going on,

07:17but that's more like wear and tear as opposed to like acute trauma.

07:20So I'll explain what happens.

07:21So I'm supposed to be bent over.

07:23A guy jumps on my back, who is your stunt double,

07:25grabs my back and pulls me back really fast.

07:28It's those hyperextension injuries.

07:29See, it's like the theme of the video.

07:30So I get pulled back with a hundred something pounds of force

07:33and then I have to pull forward.

07:34And pulling forward also stresses all of these anterior scalene muscles

07:39and the sternocleomastoid muscles.

07:41So you can like tear something just doing that.

07:43It also reminds me of like a whiplash injury

07:46from a car accident when you get rear-ended.

07:48The stunt coordinator did not teach me how to properly do that.

07:53So for some reason, that pressure all went straight to like

07:56right in between my abs and I felt something pop.

07:58Oh, you got a hernia.

07:59So I put my fingers down between my abs and there is a lump.

08:05A little separation.

08:06There's a lump right here.

08:07Yeah, if you increase intra-abdominal pressure with relaxed abdominal muscles,

08:12you can create a hernia.

08:14And a hernia is essentially your intestines,

08:16your abdominal contents poking out through the hole.

08:19When the abdominal contents are poking out,

08:21if you try pushing them in, you can't.

08:23That's called non-reducible and that could be dangerous

08:25because that could lead to incarceration of the bowel

08:28where it's actually getting choked out

08:29and that's a surgical emergency.

08:30Or if you can push it back in, that's called reducible.

08:33That's the more common type.

08:34You can go for an elective procedure because of the risk,

08:38the increased risk of having incarcerated bowel.

08:40And I didn't know what to do so I just pushed it back in.

08:43No, don't say you pushed it back in.

08:46So I pushed it back in.

08:48He reduced it.

08:49It was right above the belly button area right here.

08:54And sometimes if I like do a certain thing where I pull up like this enough

08:57and my skin is like tight enough,

08:59you could kind of see a little bump right here.

09:01In those cases, we ask a patient to bear down or cough or lift up their head

09:05so that it flexes the area.

09:06And sometimes increasing that intra-abdominal pressure

09:08can cause the hernia to pop out.

09:10Immediately when the doctor saw me, they're like,

09:11yep, that's a hernia.

09:12And I was like, cool, so what do I, how do I get that fixed?

09:16And they're like, you don't.

09:17I was like, what do you mean you don't?

09:18And they're like, well, so the thing is if we want to fix this,

09:21we're going to have to do surgery, open your skin, push it back.

09:24You could do this laparoscopically.

09:27And they said that they only recommend doing that

09:29if you have like a full-blown hernia.

09:32My hernia was like a weird thing where it's like a few layers got weak

09:35and like a little protrusion happened,

09:37but it wasn't a full rip open with a full intestine.

09:39All right, so it's not a full hernia.

09:41I was told that I should never lift weights again.

09:43All right, there's some kind of like weird medical advice

09:45happening here with like a half answer.

09:47There is like a weakness in the abdominal wall called diastasis recti.

09:51This actually happens during pregnancy sometimes

09:53when the abdominal muscles split,

09:55where you actually have a weakness in the wall

09:57and you could see protrusion on increased abdominal pressure.

09:59And we say be careful with abdominal exercises,

10:01but we don't say never lift weights at all.

10:03So I feel like we're kind of hearing both sides of the story

10:05that it is a hernia, but it's not a hernia.

10:07It's probably diastasis recti,

10:09which is a condition with weakness of the abdominal wall like this.

10:13I'm guarding Michael Jordan.

10:15Bro gets me with a nice crossover, can't even lie.

10:18Boom!

10:19Oh, elbow.

10:20He goes up, hits me with a mean, vicious elbow to the chin.

10:24Oh, that wasn't purposeful though.

10:25Jesser fouled him.

10:26I'm pissed at this point because I'm dripping blood

10:29and there's a foul on me for getting elbowed in the face.

10:32Well, yeah, it's depending on where you are on the court.

10:35If you got in the way of the shooter's arm.

10:37I have to get subbed out.

10:38I go straight to the bathroom.

10:40Our team nurses rush in to the bathroom to help.

10:43Does he have a chin lack, a chin laceration?

10:46That's going to require sutures probably.

10:48Close up shot of the chin.

10:49Oh, that's a solid opening that requires closure.

10:52And the reason why the chin and the skull

10:55have these really severe lacerations like that

10:57is because whenever you have contact

10:59from like a hard surface, like someone's elbow,

11:01the skin gets trapped in between the hard elbow

11:04and your hard chin,

11:05and that essentially acts as the force that cuts it.

11:08So if this was like padded,

11:10like let's say the buttock is,

11:11less likely for a laceration to happen,

11:13more likely a bruise to happen.

11:15So let's go through it.

11:16Head to toe, total damage.

11:20I've had no shortage of concussions

11:22and I figured that my brain's pretty messed up.

11:24So I went to this brain scan place.

11:27Oh no.

11:27And they said it looked pretty good.

11:28I love that brain scan place is doing

11:30what's known as brain electrical activity mapping beam.

11:33That doesn't actually tell you anything

11:35about the anatomy of the brain.

11:36I didn't see nearly the kinds of things

11:39I expected to see in your brain.

11:41I do see what might be a sort of stress response

11:43from long years of drinking.

11:45A lot of this is correlational and not causative.

11:48So I would be careful about drawing conclusions

11:50from an EEG.

11:52If you're really looking for damage,

11:54looking at anatomy through a brain scan,

11:57like a CT or an MRI is gonna show you more information.

12:00And even then clinically judging someone

12:03is way more valuable than anatomically

12:05unless you're in an acute setting.

12:09My vision just gets worse and worse.

12:11And I think it might be because of the lemon juice

12:14and hot sauce I poured in my eyes.

12:18Yeah, Steve-O.

12:19Why didn't we talk about this on the podcast?

12:21I've got another pretty serious situation in my esophagus,

12:25which is called Barrett's esophagus.

12:27This is a precancerous condition.

12:29We talked about this on the podcast.

12:31What happens is basically the cell types

12:33due to long-term exposure of acid,

12:36usually from leaking from the stomach,

12:38change the type of cells inside the esophagus,

12:40which is a cancerous change.

12:42Obviously that can be lethal if you let it go unchecked.

12:46I have to get that monitored with endoscopies

12:49like every year or so.

12:51This really depends person to person

12:53and how long we've established stability.

12:55Sometimes you can space that out.

12:58If I got a dollar for every time somebody asked me

13:00if I could have kids with all of the kicks to my nuts,

13:05I'm telling you, I'd have a bunch of dollars.

13:08So I went to the fertility clinic

13:10to get a sperm count before my vasectomy.

13:13It all depends on the damage.

13:15Look at that, dude.

13:18I'm going off.

13:20I'm off to the operating room and I'll leave you with this.

13:23The body is not a temple.

13:24It's an amusement park.

13:26Ride it till the wheels fall off.

13:28Oh no, Steve-O, don't say that.

13:30You're encouraging bad behavior.

13:32And I'm actually surprised that he has no testicular damage

13:34from all the kicks and stuff that he's taken

13:36because it's a sensitive area.

13:37What's up, everybody?

13:38My name is Scott.

13:40Oh.

13:40And I'm gonna tell you about how my 50 cal exploded

13:43and I almost bit the dust about two weeks ago.

13:46Whoa, where those staples are is so incredibly scary for me.

13:50The jugular vein, the carotid.

13:51There's so much anatomy there that is like instant fatality.

13:55Oh my God.

13:56Oh my God.

13:59What?

14:02Does this happen?

14:03I don't know anything about this.

14:05This cab hit me right there.

14:07But he had the safety goggles on?

14:09Thank God.

14:10But it struck me in the face.

14:11It broke my orbital bone in three spots.

14:15Here, here, and here.

14:17It also broke my nose.

14:18And that's so dangerous given the fact

14:20that you have orbital swelling,

14:21damage to the muscles that attach to the orbit.

14:24Therefore, you have difficulties with vision

14:26and ability to move the eye.

14:27The other hit me right here in the throat.

14:30It proceeded to lacerate my jugular vein

14:33and then punctured a hole in my right lung.

14:36How did he survive this?

14:37I took my left thumb, wrapped it in my shirt

14:40and I shoved it as far into my neck as possible.

14:43The doctors told me that if it wasn't for this thumb,

14:46that I would have died.

14:47This thumb saved my life.

14:49And my wife came up with a sage to just put a thumb in it.

14:53Wow.

14:53And what happened?

14:54Why did the gun do that?

14:55Complicated gun mechanic stuff.

14:57But he's probably taking care of them so...

14:5950 cal is a really, really complicated piece of equipment.

15:03Here's what's legally allowed to be in your food.

15:11This list will surprise you.

15:12Click here to check that out.

15:13And as always, stay happy and healthy.
