Today I learned that I can get a blood clot in my leg and die from laying around too much. That's nice.

“I’ll eat one more hotdog” he thought. “I won’t wind up in a chubbyemu video” he thought. But then, his organs shut down

I'm so glad she lived. My heart was breaking for her family, friends and boyfriend. So young and so close to being gone.

The almost exact thing happened to me in 2005. I was in the ICU for 9 days and on the floor for an additional 6 days. I had Appendicitis, Sepsis, Gangrene and MRSA. Before I went into surgery to remove my appendix the doctor assured me that it was an easy surgery and stated that he had probably done 300 of these surgeries and never had a patient with complications. He said I would go home the next day. When I became aware of where I was I thought I just had surgery. Turns out I had been in the hospital for 11 days and I didn't even know it. So much for going home and no complications! 3 days after discharge from the hospital my surgical incision got infected and I was back in the hospital for 3 more days.

A man got a job at Burger King.This is how his foot got stuck in lettuce.

Don’t be afraid to speak up. Family members of patients request staff to wash their hands before providing care. And sanitize the stethoscope that they’re using to listen to each patient. I watched as an RT with gloved hands lifted the trash lid and then was about to suction my sons trach after his ipv. I stopped him and said, “you just touched the trash. You need to change your gloves before you touch my son.” Im sure it’s just forgetfulness. ICU is fast paced. But again, don’t be afraid to speak up. ❤️

This guy is so well spoken, knowledgeable and adds a mysterious air as a presenter. He would make a great host for a tv show!

A young man’s nose was itching. This is how his brain melted.

Speaking as a paramedic, I love this channel. I just wish there was more info on what happened on the Prehospital side.

In 2018, I spent 41 days in a hospital with what started as Sepsis with Streptococcus Grp A. I still barely remember the first 3 days in ICU. I still get emotional thinking of it, being the talk of the hospital and a show and tell case. Every nurse I ran into knew my case. And I will forever be extremely grateful for their diligent work in saving my life.

This is the most anti-clickbait channel on KZfaq

"She has a fever of over 100 degrees" anybody who uses celsius: JESUS CHRIST

When my husband was in medical school in the early 1980's, research was initially being done on presence of antibiotic resistant staph in hospitals. It was a known problem, but not a universal threat as it is now. This is the future we have been warned about for more than 50 years.

For the first time, this has convinced me of the importance of hand washing…and I am 75. It’s amazing I have lived this long!

A teenager watched chubbyemu for 2 hours. This is what happened to his Biology grades

As someone whose dad was hospitalized for MRSA that caused sepsis, thankfully he survived, bacteria are among the scariest organisms on this planet because often when you know they’re there, it’s already too late.

I had a horrible experience when in hospital for a liver resection surgery. My room was dirty and I got really poor care as far as my hygene. Considering I just had liver surgery and I am a stage 4 cancer patient, I look back at this and am "thankful" I didn't get any infections.

This went from removing an appendix to HOUSE MD case real fast.

A guys left pinky toe didn’t touch concrete for 77.6 hours, this is how his tongue grew a liver.

I literally kept biting my nails until I heard she recovered and will be fine. Poor baby. I hope she is well now.

I've had MRSA twice. The bouts were 5 years apart and while I could come up with interactions that were most likely with who I got it from initially, the creepy part was learning it was possible it had lived on my body until I gave it an entry under my skin. The first time it's entry was through pimples my on my head and side that my lady friend popped. She later admitted to having an infection under her arm when we were together. The fist sized pustule on my head broke the skin and drained on its own, but the one on my side had to be cut open and drained. I spent the next month in quarantine, with 6 inch square gauze pads on the openings, having to squeeze out and drain each 2-3 times a day. The second time: I had removed my nipple piercings not long after this, out of concern. It didn't help. Over time I began to need to squeeze one of the old holes periodically. I thought it was a build up of soap and skin cells in the healed but not closed hole. Nope. One day I began to feel the build up and was going to squeeze it out when I realized the hole I had always used had grown closed. I made the choice to push it out the back side. Instead it broke thru and under my skin. A week later, I had infection under my left breast and underarm. I couldn't put my arm down and ended up in the hospital for two days. You do not want this shit people.

“feels a slight pain in my chest” Me: I guess this is the end

“AAH! PERIOD CRAMPS!” Narrator: They were not period cramps.

i really respect the fact that he calls attention to the mistakes made by the medical personell. cause mistakes similiar to those cost my wife her life

This infection video is so true; my mother was hospitalized due to hyponatremia, and picked up a nosocomial (hospital-based, drug resistant) infection C. diff. She had constant recurrences of the infection for years, and was constantly on Flagyl and Vancomycin. She ended up way sicker trying to fight the constant infection than she was from the low sodium.

A child stepped on a lego This is how he got diabetes

The organs shut down for a windows update

My own mother died from septic infection in 2015 two days before Christmas thanks to a nurse not washing her hands at a certain hospital in Arkansas she was only 64

I absolutely love how well articulated these videos are. It really helps us non-medical types understand. Thank you.

Someone: * does anything * Organs: * Windows shutdown effect*

Todays lesson !! WASH YOUR FREAKING HANDS !!!!

it's so rare to watch one of the videos where a person lands in ICU through no fault of their own. this lady was truly unlucky! glad she recovered.

it’s cool when he shows the medications and how some of them are super familiar in veterinary medicine, it’s just cool to see the similarities 👍🏻

A Boy Stepped On A Crack. This Is What Happened To His Mother's Back.

Who visits someone with MRSA and then touched everything in the hospital in existence? Sounds diabolically idiotic.

I find these the most interesting videos that randomly ever came up in my recommended and I’m actually grateful I clicked. Thank you for explaining things in such detail, but simplifying it while not talking down to your viewers :)

Is anyone else just floored every time by this man’s incredible intellect? And his ability to explain the complex in ways we all understand. He’s amazing 🤩

A doctor ate an apple everyday, this is what happened to his career.

“She goes into post operation and is ok.” *looks at 13 minutes left* “Aw cra-“ “She starts complaining off the I.V site.”

You are my new favorite KZfaqr. You're smart, the stories are fascinating and you're handsome to boot.

Its entirely possible that my grandpa died of MRSA, considering his kidney failure. There was also a bruise at his IV site like was mentioned. So many sad cases out there.

I'm sorry, but that nurse should have been fired. I've worked in health care, and that's quite inexcusable. Even in senior residents without diseases, we still was out hands religiously.

The real first part of the title is: "a patient gets mishandled in a hospital"

Thanks, very well presented. My Dad died from sepsis following an MRSA infection. He was in hospital to have a pacemaker fitted as he had an unusually low pulse rate. I, unfortunately have the same problem, 75 years old, pulse rate of 35.

This is absolutely true. Dealing with SIRS and septic patients is not to be underestimated. This video makes it clear that prevention is very possible with good aseptic technique and proper procedure. For those of your practicing, never let your guard down and stay vigilant. A fairly standard op can turn into a fight for someone's life!

A student goes to a shitty hospital. This is what happened to her chances of survival.

A student felt a sharp pain in her side. This is how her period started.

I always feel so educated after watching these videos. You explain things so well.

i was aiming for med , but had my doubts abt whether id fall out of interest in it or not this channel made me realise how much i love medical 😭😭❤️ DAMN U NEED BIG TIME RECOGNITION NOT EVEN KIDDING 😭❤️

I have a sudden desire to live the rest of my life in soap now.

A worker feels a nudge on his shoulder. This is how his 8th cousin lost her arm.

June 18th, 2021 I love that this guys stuff keeps popping up for me and no matter how long ago he did the video or what the video is about it is always worth a watch. Informative, interesting, pertinent and with just the right balance of "oh shit" and "hmmmmm". Thanks mate.

I suffer from DVT due to Factor Five Leiden Syndrome, and an S protein mutator. I know how miserable it can be! Thanks for your informative and entertaining content! 🤟

God, i had to keep pausing this video because of how angry I was getting. Pay attention, Nursing and Medical students. These sterile techniques are here for a reason, and if you can't bother with them, then pick some other career. I remember having to work in a microbiology lab with some nursing students, and they barely knew how to do any kind of sterile technique. I even had to show them myself, and the next week they STILL didn't bother with it. It pisses me off so much knowing that they expect to work with sick patients when they can't bother to do the simplest things to help.

"We have to watch for deep vain thrombosis--a blood clot that typically forms in the legs of someone who has not moved for some time." _Immediately stands up while watching_

I can almost feel the passion in your voice over this one.

Extremely interesting videos with loads of information. Please post more of them I love the way you say " Presenting to the Emergency Room " your tag line 😆

My dad died of septic shock that likely originated from his dialysis fistula. It was also MRSA. Wash your hands, everyone. Your patients' lives are on the line

This is the type of doctor everybody wants when they go to the hospital. Powerhouse of a human. God bless these videos and him.

such an interesting site! I love the knowledge, the facts, the science of what happens and why. Excellect, as always!

When I was 11, I had to get a bone marrow transplant, radiation and chemotherapy, and immunosuppressant treatment for a genetic disorder I was born with. During the year I was in the hospital for my transplant, I had many things done to assist in my care. I had a procedure to have an under the skin internal port installed in my chest underneath my left pec, and an external port installed next to my right armpit, for the nurse's and doctor's convenience to draw blood and administer medication. I remember vividly, one day, I had to get some blood drawn and tests done and they used my internal port to do so. After blood had been drawn and we waited for the results and recieved them back, the nurse swabbed my skin to the port and finished up by injecting saline into it to flush it out and clean it up. My whole body shuddered uncontrollably, violently, for a few seconds as soon as she did that, and my bone marrow transplant doctor who was in the room became concerned and asked if that was a normal occurance whenever they had to use my port. My parents and I said no, that was not normal, so they kept us at the hospital for another 30 minutes to monitor me for anything abnormal. 30 minutes went by and I was completely fine. We were given the all clear to leave and go home, and we lived an hour away from the hospital. Instead of immediately driving home, we decided to stop at a restaurant a few blocks away from the hospital to get food before making the drive back. While waiting for our order, I started to shake uncontrollably, and I was burning up, saying I was freezing, becoming disoriented and confused about my surroundings and what was going on. My parents had a thermometer on hand that they used to take my temperature. The next thing I knew, we were back in the car rushing back to the hospital, and then I blacked out. I have no memory of what happened until I woke up a week later in the hospital. I was told that when my parents checked my temperature, it read 106.3 F. Two more degrees and my brain would have cooked inside my skull and I would have died. I was told I had gone into septic shock and they immediately tried to stabilise me and ask me questions, but I was not mentally aware. I was conscious, but unresponsive to questions, simply staring and ignoring any external stimuli the doctors tried to get me to focus on, like they weren't even there, and muttering gibberish. I could not walk or move. I had no control over any of my motor functions. In the end, they surmised that I might have had some bacteria collected in my port, and when the nurse flushed the saline in, it pushed all that bacteria into my body all at once, and my body responded to the violent invasion initially, but it wasn't until at least almost an hour later that I started to experience the symptoms of septic shock. If we hadn't stopped to get food, I likely would have died.

A kid sneezed twice and nobody was there to bless him and now he is in a coma for 19 years

This shit feeds my health anxiety like nothing else but damn is it interesting

Thank you so much for all these videos and thank you for explaining them so well :)

I love this channel never connect chubby emu with such a wonderful thorough explanation of illnesses by an ER doctor. The best part is the way he breaks down the Latin/Greek medical terminology.

you are so underrated

Poor JC. She has been through sooooo much in all of these videos.

Man, you are ONE HUGE NERD!!! That’s AWESOME bro! I learn cool terms every time i watch your channel

chubby emu, the knowledge i got from watching your videos helped me in a biology test, so i am very grateful for that 😊

I’m learning so many big boy words

I had appendicitis, ruptured appendix. Had fever for 6 days from sepsis. I'm so glad to be here

Question: Has Hospitals adopted the perception that patient infections are to be automatically tested for MERSA? If not, why not?

Great work . I can’t have enough of your vids

I was recently in the ICU, I left the hospital with 2 new infections. This shows how unhygienic hospitals can be and how uneducated some hospital staff are at during simple tasks such as hand washing.

Chubbyemu: "...or DVT, a blood clot, that typically forms in the legs of people who haven't moved in some time." Me: ***FRANTIC LEG KICKING***

Big fan of this channel. So educative! Everyone should watch these videos.

I just started my medical schools , and i really appreciate the name explanation , made it easier to remember the meanig and understanding it . 🥰🥰

Moral of the story: WASH YOUR HANDS

These kind of people who knowingly do not follow basic hospital protocols and have a "nothing bad would happen" attitude should be fired immediately and never be allowed to work in the health sector. Their actions are borderline criminal.

I love this channel, it's not for everyone, and I find it a bit much, but I just love learning new terms

this guy is great! very good story and explanation and very interesting

This is what my father died of years ago. He went in for an aortic aneurysm repair but was exposed to mersa during the surgery and died from those complications.

These make me feel educational but horrified about everything around me

Love the channel! Your presentation is very good and engaging. Thank you!

Just wanted to say that I love your videos they are so interesting and you explain everything perfectly. I can't wait for more :)

ALL hospital workers know that the first thing you do and last thing you do is remove your gloves. New gloves when entering room, remove gloves when leaving. Nurse should have been charged here imo. I know it's tough, but we have accountability for our patients.

This sounds like a law suit 😂 I’m a 2nd year student and we’re always told to trust that gut feeling. If you feel like you’re not being listened too, ask someone else. One doctors mistake shouldn’t cost a life.

Wonderful job. I worked in an ER where we saw this regularly. This was before it got the name MRSA. Now we can treat the patient better and the sterility is kept the infection down.

I love these videos. Very educational

Now that is the scariest story about how not washing your hands can kill

A hospital felt a sharp pain in their paycheck. This is how they almost got shut down.

Always love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

A good video. It brings back memories. Something similar happened to me about 3 years ago. It was a brutal experience. Perforated intestine and resulting sepsis with nearly fatal complications. I was absolutely fine the day before & woke up with a stomach ache, then things absolutely fell apart.

Last 10 seconds. "She lived" Thats what i came for

Why the fuck was a RELATIVE of a patient wandering around as if they were medical staff?

I came on one night to a dementia wanderer who had MRSA and VRE with oozing wounds, sharing a bathroom with a baby who had an URTI. There were empty rooms in the ward. I immediately contacted my Team Leader and insisted that the mum and bub moved to a new room. No one had told mum that the man sharing her bathroom was potentially infections, I just couldn't believe that this happened we always know baby's are very delicate and susceptible to infections.
