My husband and I were shocked to find out his dad was a high functioning alcoholic. He's had problems with his hip over the last few years and decided to get one of those necklaces with an emergency button on it. We got a call in the middle of the night saying he was being transported to the hospital after a fall. Turns out his blood alcohol was something insane (sorry I don't remember the exact number, just that it was crazy high). We found out he'd been drinking about twelve giant bottles of bourbon a week. He had to be kept in the hospital while he was detoxing so he wouldn't die. We had no idea he drank anything more than an occasional glass of wine. He hid it so well. It's nuts.

My dad was life flighted from one useless hospital to a competent one. He was trimming trees, fell off the roof, and broke his back. The first hospital he went to tried to make him leave and come back the next day. Wouldn't you know, it was a NURSE who heard this, thought it was total BULLSHIT, and contacted my dad's insurance and made arrangements for him to be flown to a better hospital. There, they found a blood clot near his spine from the injury, and if he'd tried to move around like that on it, it would've paralyzed him. He had to stay in the hospital for awhile, obvs, but mostly to make sure the clot dissolved with meds, I presume, and not surgery. He didn't have to have surgery. He had to have back brace and months of bedrest, in which he couldn't really get up at all. When he was able to walk around in the brace, a kid asked him if he was a robot, though, so that was pretty cool bc he was like, "Yeah."

There was something comforting about how he said "we should let them go" with a smile. Its grim but its good to know people show sympathy and understanding towards a choice like that

Love his Spanish, just like a funny thing, here in Mexico, 5 de Mayo is like any other day, no special celebrations or anything, is very funny because United States celebrates a Mexican party that's not even celebrated in Mexico

"Code Grey means there's a hostile and combative person on the loose, and it's not always the patient" Just get them some coffee. We all know how doctors are 🙄🤷

"Imagine if you will a year in which Cinco de Mayo falls on Taco Tuesday only to be ruined by a virus named after a Mexican beer."

I love this guy. He is so refreshingly honest and blunt, but with a sense of humor!

"when your body says fuck it, I'm tired of breathing!" 🤣🤣🤣

My mother was a high functioning alcoholic went to work with it in her system and passed away april 1st 2020 guys, it's not a joke she was a medical technologist

"when your body says fuck it, im done breathing" i felt this on a different level and idk how to feel about it.

He can smile, be happy, and cuss the shit out of us

I nearly hurt myself laughing and had to go to the ER when you smelled the shaver 😂🤣😂🤣😂

I had power of attorney over my mother and l was very grateful when a hospital Dr took me aside and explained kindly and carefully why l should put a DNR in place for her. My mother had dementia and was VERY frail, the Dr told me honestly that, resuscitating someone as elderly and frail as she was often resulted in broken ribs and extensive bruising, may only prolong her life for a few months and that she would spend those last few months in a great deal of pain and confusion. Luckily it didn't come to that as she passed away peacefully from other causes but, it made the decision to put a DNR in place much easier.

We don't have a Code Gray. We have a code Charlie Brown. Just like the Peanuts character.

I was intubated for 4 days 18yrs ago from an allergic reaction. Come to find out I’m allergic to skunk spray. Who woulda known. 🤷🏽‍♀️

That aggressive sniff on that shaver was something else....

Lmao I first started liking his humor now I'm having a crush on him 😅

I love you! Been in medical field for 40 years and you say what we all think!

I suggest Coco had me dying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m a nanny and I had a family that live near the highway and I was outside with the kids and we had a helicopter land right next to us like it felt like it was going to land on our head scared the living hell out of us until we realized it was heading to the highway

I- that’s gotta be the best ad for manscaped I’ve seen so far.

Double A! Killing me. Life Flight comes with a Yuuge bill. Insurance will almost always fight it.

Dnrs r brutal. My step fil just got his (terminal escholgeal cancer) and its a little sticker on the front door, and a small plastic canister in the fridge, so paramedics know not to start on him if he passes at home. My fil never got that far, but paramedic in car arrived first, she asked, i just shook my head, and she absolutely knew what i meant, please dont do that to him. She walked in, saw he was gone, and said im not touching him ok? And i was so relieved i could of cried if i wasnt already! Please if u r terminal, and dont want all that extra pain, sign it!!!! My grandfather decided he didnt want resuscitation, so they took out his pacemaker, and left him to his own devices. He wasnt terminal, but was old, had a serious heart issue (hence pacemaker) and parkinsons that was rapidly progressing. He lived another 5yrs, but with the peace thay theyd never man handle him back to life, when he was ready to go.

ROFLMAO! Damn near choked on ice cream when you brought up the MANSCAPE. LOL

I had no idea I was missing this in my life…now I wonder how I went so Fakn long without this life changing advice!

You gotta make sure everything downstairs looks good or else they won’t wanna visit anymore. 1:56.

My husband (in pic) had to be life flown from 1 ER to another.... I'd asked them to take him to take him to the better hospital in the 1st place.... it takes the same amount of time to get to both. They claimed they weren't allowed to because it was in a different county & they had to go to the closest available... if that were the case the main hospital that I requested they take him has an ER only which is closer than either hospital but still both main hospitals take the same amount of time to get to either 1... Legally they can take you to whatever hospital you want as long as you are not dying... he was, however, the hospital they took him to couldn't provide the care he needed, hence why I told them to take him to the other to begin with, which is why they stabilized as best they could (same that could've been done sooner at the ER) then he could've been transported to the main hospital. He lived that time, was in ICU for a week & hospital for another week &½.

Sarcasm is your thing 😉 love it 😊

I almost needed the helicopter when I fell off a horse on a trail ride. They decided eventually that my pelvis probably wasn't broken and the ambulance could go off road.

I love the manscape pitch. Genius.

I drink a hella lot but I am aware of it. I work eight to four, but after four it is drink time (after of course cooking for my husband and taking care of some household stuff). Nothing too crazy, just feeling cozy watching youtube after a few drinks. The "downside" is of course that I rarely get drunk going out with friends to overpriced bars. They are sloshed after two glasses of wine, but I don't feel a thing. This habit is obviously bad and I am working on limiting my alcohol intake by staying busy in the afternoons so I don't get to sit down and have a drink :)

My friends mom is a life flight nurse

as aparamedic in Canada I support this message and love this channel

Blessings to all!

That one about blood thinners is so real. My grandpa was on a crazy high dose of blood thinners, but also had dementia. One day he tried to trim his toenails with garden sheers, and when he came back into the living room he was trailing blood, so I went into the bathroom and it looked like a murder had taken place. I ran to get towels to wrap and elevate his feet, while of course my aunt (his daughter) was panicking like a helpless fish. It took a LONG time before the bleeding fully stopped, so long that I almost called an ambulance- but right as I was about to, it finally quit. After that I told my grandma (my grandpa’s primary caregiver) to insist the doctors dial back the blood-thinners.

You are so awesomely hilarious 🤣

I got life-flighted out of the boonies in MS to the Med in Memphis and yeah it was 10,000 alone 🚁 ☠️

I love this guy.🤭😏😊I am obsessed with his teeth and smile tho.😁 They. Are. Beautiful. 😁

I need this guy in my life, all day, everyday

The fucking manscaped ad got me 😅😆

Our Code Grey is a missing person. Code Violet is our disruptive patient or visitor. Our Code Brown is the same, though.

Ugh. I still have trach nightmares from my surgery. But the farty noise when you breathe and before it heals is hilarious lol 🤣💨

The number of people that refuse seatbelts and birth control/condoms may surprise you

Ya know, I hadn’t thought much of it, but over the last year and a half, they always ask pre-surgery, if I’ve considered a DNR. I’m in liver failure, so I guess it’s practical. Paracentesis only is a stop gap, so I can breathe and eat. But it’s still kinda depressing. These surgeries are 4 X’s a year, so I can breathe. As I still don’t have a liver specialist, I guess that’s the closest I get to an honest diagnosis. Other than that one doctor that wasn’t really on my ward, but when I asked him about my condition, he said I have one to three years. Honesty is great, but I have questions, and no one to answer them. So my brain just goes crazy. But I digress. I guess I oughta sign one.

He is so funny. Wonder if he will ever see my comment. I’ve seen all his vids. And I am similar in a few ways. He works at the er, and I’m always at the er. 😂😂

I've never heard a crunchier MF *chef's kiss*

I was a volunteer in a children's ER, helping families connect to local resources, when the tornado sirens started. They moved all the patients away from the large glass windows, but my desk is right there, and I'm 19 and grew up on the East Coast (no tornados) and have no idea what I should do. I noticed two EMTs standing outside the front door, chatting. I figured when they run, I'll run. 😆 (Everyone was completely fine.)

Dude... You are informative & hilarious... Brutal truth. Keep up the 👍 work

7:40 hehehe and that last 5% managed to slip through my body 2 days ago.

I still remember my ambulance ride after crushing no not broken it crush into peaces doc said my boot saved my foot anyway i was being rush to another hospital when i woke up and holy shit do emt move fast i no more than one my eyes and moved my wrist and they 2 of them restrained me while the 3rd pumped some kind of liquid in me i was out in 2 or 3 minutes it happen probably as fast a hungry lion taking down its prey

I absolutely love this dude!!!!😂😂😂🤣

The ventilator one really brought back memories of when my dad was on one, waaaa now I’m sad.

I suggest “Coco” 🤣

8:46 I was dying when he seas you will bleed faster and longer than when she's on that time of the munth

Everytime you say motherf@@ker my smile gets bigger

Oh God. When hw SMELLED the ball shaver ...

I love hearing you you are so Hilarious

Ya know, I hate Cinco de Mayo. That’s the day my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021 (she’s better now)

Drink enough Tequila you can make history 🤪

😂😂😂 "THEY'RE TRACKING YOU THROUGH YOUR PHONES MuFKR!!"

These vids are the highlight of my day!

He speaks the truth

Can the mower 4.0 help women too? Using a normal razor, there is a 4 to 5 square inch area that can not be seen. It is usually done by feel, hope, and praying.

I agreed to DNR on my mother. Because it's an horrific procedure with only a 4% chance of success. And no one deserves their last moments of life to be a trauma team jumping up and down on their chest sticking adrenaline into non existing veins. And a defib burning into their chest. Just let them go peacefully.

Wow great video

I have a whole playlist of these so I know how to deal with this Edit: I’m a writer and I have a diabetic stepdad, I need the to know medical stuff

Haha. Poor double A.

You're my favorite, mufkr!!! ❤️🤣😂😘

Thank you for all this great, succinct information. A lot of people will benefit.

The way he says "Essential" cracks me up 🤣

We have a mac daddy police force at my hospital. Nothing like 2-6 fully geared police officers showing up when a patient or family member is being naughty.

I love his compilation vids!!! ❤️

Bro that "mi amor" make me vibe so high that I almost forgot that I have mor homework than life jsksjskskwka

No no no drinking actually make history more interesting hahaha

Keep up the good work!!!

Your code brown is a code black in my hospital. Your code grey is a missing senior citizen in my hospital too. I thought they were supposed to make these codes universal in all hospitals? Do you have a code Dr Green in your hospital?

I love ❤️ your videos!!! Thank you

A code brown is a missing adult. What you are describing is a code gray

Rocky looks like such a sweetheart

Dang I love these vids! @ 1:25 I've known a couple alcoholics and I remain flummoxed at the amount of alcohol they consumed in a day. I love an Old Fashioned, but if I'm feeling cocky enough for a second I'm dozing off halfway through it.

I once try to escape from the emergency room. The nurse that was seeing me was not happy she caught me in the hallway. I could barely walk or whatever c*** that had me on. A rip and ivy out of my arm got blood everywhere it was terrible. All this because I tried to quit drinking cold turkey and didn't know why I was going crazy. There's a protein for you guys don't ever become an alcoholic

Did you just call out Tracy?? OMG!! 🤣🤣🤣

Had a friend in college if their alcohol content got to Tainted with blood their grades would plummet so whenever they try to go sober we Captain eye on their grades and after about three months we gave them a bottle of vodka and told them they had to drink it before going to class and they taste their test after months of failing pretty much everything. Obviously we help them with the study session while they were drinking. After that they never put down the bottle and they graduated with honors. The only reason that we knew about their drinking problem was because they would drink at the gazebos where everyone else drank and it was a social thing however none of the professors really knew that they were plastered in every single class and never really boasted about being an alcoholic or a high-functioning alcoholic just everyone who is a student who hung out with them knew because well it's kind of hard not to know whatever you're literally passing the bottle around.

Love this guy, telling the facts with some humor... Love it.

Unfortunately my mom is and often has wine in plastic cups like an adult sippy cup I know all too well this type of alcoholic and it is very hard to watch someone you love doing this 😢😢😢

they're tracking you through your phones, MuFKRs!! 😂😂😂😂

Yikes! The blood thinner one! I'm on Eliquis. I hope I never get hit in the stomach!

So earlyyyyy. Love your videos 😍

DNR's aren't always safe. My Great Aunt (my moms aunt) sometimes would have a hard time clearing her throat from phlegm due to having a hard time swallowing. When she was in the hospital she was having a hard time clearing her throat after having an infection. My mom asked for help. The nurses called Respiratory. 90 minutes later no one showed up and my mom asked where they were. The nurse said "well she has a DNR." My mom had a shit fit and respiratory was called again. 3 minutes later, respiratory showed up in my Great Aunts room. We had another 15 years with my aunt. It was a good quality of life also. She got to see my brother and I graduate high school and university. My brother was the first on my mom's side of the family that graduated from university. Now that I'm in the Medical Field I know that oxygen, position for comfort, splint or immobilize, SUCTION, etc isn't included in the DNR and what the nurse said was illegal.

Thank you

Met a couple of high functioning alcoholics and you’re right. The most they would say is that they have “ a couple of drinks on occasions” come to find out that they have up to 12 cans of lager a night every night for 45 years! And still never missed their job. Which is nuts 🥜 especially if you knew the job xx

One way ticket to ICU?!? I'd like a return ticket thank you 😂

Ooooooh what silky smooth ad transitions this man does!

I like to think of Code Browns (actual ones) as this: SIP it or ship it. Shelter In Place or haul ace. Get down low or get it to go.

"We are E SSE NTIAL" 😄

Lol love your videos.

CoCo was a great movie, slight tears at the end.

@7:58 U: did u think of that u selfish F! Me: ROTFLMFAO. I can’t 😹😹😹😹

Time for 9 min of awesome content
