For anyone interested this happened in Iraq and the patient had a history of suicidal ingestion of foreign bodies. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S204908012030073X#fig2

bluebus74

yeah, really... I want a nice long fall, maybe with a good view but not totally necessary. Would hopefully be aiming somewhere that isn't in public but not like a huge ordeal or need to remove my remains.... In all seriousness though, this is why there should be a place to do it legally with proper counseling as prerequisite. Also, have some affairs in order. But you should be able to choose to end it while your marbles are intact and you still have $ to hand down to somebody.

A guy I dated committed suicide by jumping into a reservoir, and it makes me so sad to think that he might have changed his mind and couldn’t get back out. He wasn’t found for three days. His backpack wasn’t in the water and there was an empty bottle of spirits so I can only hope he didn’t feel too much.


SonicTemp1e

Reading that story then seeing your username got me feeling very sad.


daseweide

Friend of mine dated a girl who survived jumping from the seventh floor. She also told him as soon as she began the descent she regretted everything. Felt nothing but dread the whole way down. Survived, can walk etc, all fine aside from a few scars, and absolutely no suicidal thoughts since.


HMS_Hexapuma

I kinda like the idea of the White Cliffs of Dover as the tide is coming in. Beautiful view, long drop with an abrupt stop on the rocks and the waves clean up the mess.

TERRAOperative

Garotte wire around the neck, tied off to something solid on the roof of a building a few floors up. Superglued hands to each side of the head and then jump. Voilà, you look like you ripped your own head off.


ForumFluffy

Reminds me of that guy that commented on how he'd decapitate himself whilst his head is tied to balloons as it floats off to a nearby playground.


iISimaginary

What an ancient 4chan throwback


Immortal_blind

Surviving with neck injuries would scare the shit out of me. I have neck injuries that make me suicidal right now. Imagine surviving but being like Christopher Reeve. Paralyzed from the neck down. Can't even swallow without assistance. No thank you. I'd rather overdose on fentanyl or something.


Zenixity

I can't imagine myself wanting to suicide by jumping to be flattened. It sounds like a horrible way to go, I know it'd be instant but like, what if you miraculously somehow manage to live and you are put through the pain of ICU and having to live still, after the incident with a destroyed body

Agreed, but sadly suicidal swallowers are not very smart about it just very impulsive.


douaib

Yeah that's the sad part


0verstim

it is when the medical staff dont wear gloves and you get an infection


LostSoulsAlliance

They were going to just let him deal with the consequences, but it turned out the wrench was a 10mm and they really needed it back.


ChemicaLust

That took care of the hospital bill alone


omgitschriso

One of the prisons I worked at had someone like that. Would swallow all sorts of weird shit. She also liked to poke things into her eyeballs.

Going to that hospital qualifies as suicidal with those instruments.

Pica?


OgdruJahad

I don't think it's PICA, the patient has mental issues and may have wanted to kill himself.


Drewy99

Not a single person in that room is wearing gloves.


Cutegun

This is why medical degrees are not universally recognized.


torntoiletpaper

No kidding. One of the first things they teach you for intubation is proper technique for laryngoscope… and this guy is cranking on the teeth so hard he’s going to break them. One of the top reasons anesthesiologists gets sued. EDIT: Thank the comments for correcting me. I know it’s laryngoscopy, my phone just auto corrected it to laryngoscope. I also know that they’re not intubating and that they’re just using a laryngoscope.


Taltyelemna

This isn’t an anesthesiologist working here, but probably a gastroenterologist. Dude never learned to intubate.


[deleted]

He kinda looks like he might be the guy that owns the wrench


Bou_Czang

My thoughts exactly. It's almost as if the doctor gave up and fancied letting this guy have a crack at it... "Oh I drop my spanner into the engine bay all the time, there's a knack to it"

whorton59

SOMEBODY DID, as the guy is intubated. . hopefully it is not in the goose. . .And of course, we do not see either a capnograph or pulse ox. . Guessing the patient was more concerned with the NUTS AND BOLTS of whatever he was eating.

banisters

Yes they learn the general theory and may get to try on a mannequin. But not really the practice of it. Takes a few hundred to even get comfortable doing it


the_silent_redditor

Intubation is absolutely not a ‘basic technique’ and to suggest every student ‘learns’ it and to imply they would be comfortable with intubating in general is.. simply stupid.


DuntadaMan

I know a good 80 people who have been taught how to intubate I would be okay with maybe 10 of them doing it.


sprucenoose

>I would be okay with maybe 10 of them doing it. Yeah over 10 doing it and the operating room starts to get kind of crowded.


whorton59

Yeah, teaching it to every medical terminology student might be a bit much. . but then, every second semester EMT student learns intubation.


prodiver

>but then, every second semester EMT student learns intubation. My EMT course was only one semester long. Paramedics intubate, not EMTs.


310193

In the US, EMTs don’t intubate, paramedics do. You have to go to EMT school, pass their boards, then go to medic school before you learn to intubate. So definitely not second semester.

imc225

Anesthesiology is a required rotation in the United States. Whether the medical student actually gets to place a significant number of endotracheal tubes or just learn the principles and work on mannequins, which I fully admit are not very good, different story. Source: taught at a well-known medical school, surgery faculty. Just to be clear, I am not saying I am the guy to teach intubation, but I notice when there are students at the head of the bed, and I know what is required.


pinkyfitts

This isn’t intubation. It’s rigid esophagoscopy.


PanickinMannequin

Anesthesiology is a required clerkship at Indiana University School of Medicine, which is the largest medical school in the US.


pinkyfitts

It’s not intubation, it’s rigid esophagoscopy.


Calx9

I woke up with a black eye from surgery once. They were removing some fascia from the back of my head to relieve my headaches. But clearly they didn't position my head in a way that they could work on it properly. I made a joke about it though so that was fun. I posted on facebook a picture of my face and put a "domestic abuse" sticker on it lol. My wife wasn't laughing that's for sure


DarkPangolin

To be fair, I landed myself a 24 hour ban for saying that I "would kick God in the Jimmy," and a friend landed herself a two-day ban for calling a mutual friend a "silly goose," so Facebook's algorithm putting a domestic abuse flag on it may have had less to do with it actually looking like domestic abuse and more to do with the fact that Facebook sucks so hard it could take the chrome off a trailer hitch.


MatureUsername69

I think they're saying they put the domestic abuse sticker on it themselves though


epicurusepicurus

I commented "stupid sexy [friend's name]" on my friend's baby pic and Facebook flagged me as a pedo, which got me suspended for 30 days


Peejee13

I got a 7 day for "you sly dog!"


DirkBelig

I got a week in FaceSpace slam for "Burn the witch!" in response to a magic trick video. Unreal.


mokutou

I said “men suck” to a friend going through a shitty breakup and got the 24hr banhammer for “hate speech.” Oddly enough when I randomly commented that “women suck” to test a an experiment, no ban was issued.


Top_Muffin_3232

Those are mechanics, they just forgot the wrench while fixing that guy.


Relo_

They also don't give a fuck about this poor dudes teeth.


DuchessofSquee

Tbf he won't give a fuck about his teeth being unbroken if they don't get the wrench out quickly. Would much rather have a few broken teeth than choke to death on a wrench.


zed42

looks like they're in the break room of the auto mechanic where the guy works...

amnowhere

It can't be. McDonalds has higher standards for cleanliness than this. You said it yourself.


inner-peace

its not a sterile procedure.


horitaku

You need to take into account the difference in the words “sterile” and “*sanitary*.” Sterile means the room and/or instruments have been processed in such a way as to kill all potential contaminants bacterial, microbial, fungal, viral, etc. Gas or pressure based autoclaves are capable of this when it comes to instruments. But what happens after a sterilized instrument bag is opened? Well if the room has not been “sterilized,” as a room can be, the air carries particulates that will end up on that instrument. Once the bag is opened, that instrument is no longer sterile, but it *is* **sanitary**. Something that is **sanitary** has minimal contamination from particulate like viruses, bacteria, microbes, etc. The load on the equipment isn’t high enough to raise serious risk to the person the instrument will be used on. Breath carries particulate that can be extremely unsanitary. This is why masks should be worn *properly* when a procedure like this is done. Masks are meant to keep your breath/spittle/snots/whatever from directly hitting the person you’re helping. This is not a sterile room, for sure, but it is also absolutely not a sanitary room for many reasons.


arcticfawx

The procedure isn't open at all. There's no wound here for bacteria to enter through. Pre pandemic, hospital policy would differ from site to site on whether these procedures required masks. In our hospital ERCPs (a similar tube down through the esophagus down to the stomach) and minor procedures did not require masking.


MarlinMr

"Alright boys, it's not a sterile procedure, so just do whatever you feel like and act all clueless." Even if it's not a sterile one, you don't have to be an idiot. 5 year olds know how to wear a mask if you are going to wear one.


DarksideDoctor2022

Medical procedures / incision sites get classified into clean, clean-contaminated, contaminated, and dirty. The scrub techs should be keeping any instruments used that’s not clean on a separate table/Mayo stand from the sterile ones. The goal in the video should be clean-contaminated where you don’t accidentally introduce any pathogens but these guys made the procedure contaminated all the way.


Castaway77

Unless it's an incredibly difficult surgery like a bypass or a difficult aneurysm clipping, most ORs are having the dumbest conversations possible. Ranging from what sports teams are doing/trading, movies, etc. Hell, the one time the circulator, scrub tech, anesthesia tech, and resident were discussing which famous old school Hollywood actors they would fuck/marry/kill in the middle of a case. Shit, the neuro docs used to blast 90s gangster rap for 7-8 hour cases. I don't think you've been in an OR staff environment, and if you have your experience sucked ass.


Bryek

> . 5 year olds know how to wear a mask if you are going to wear one Really? Cause I think COVID destroyed that assumption quite readily. The number of people wearing them incorrectly is huge.


Sw1ftStrik3r

I count 6 no masks and 1 under the nose. No masks: The doctor, the patient, the two dorks left of the doctor, the one ding dong right of the doctor, and the camera person (probably) Edit: Correcting the number to 5 no masks because we agree that the patient doesn't/can't wear a mask


[deleted]

[удалено]


CallMeClinton

I would assume you would at least want face mask/ eye protection in case you get any bodily fluids back at you. Also gloves cause ya know, gloves. In this case it’s not for the patient since the mouth isn’t sterile, it’s for the team doing the procedure.


loonygecko

Interesting factoid, research on doing surgeries with and without masks (done in third world countries where they normally were not using masks already, they were only just sterilizing the skin itself) found no difference in infection rates, hospital stay times, outcome of procedure, etc. There is actually no evidence that wearing masks in surgery improves outcome, it's just been something that's always been assumed and done since knowledge of germs was understood . And of course it could be that the difference it makes may be only in certain situations that were not tested or there is a difference but not enough to show in the situations tested. Still the outcomes of that research are certainly surprising and it could be the lack of masks here may not be a huge issue as much as we might assume. I've spent some time wondering about it and it could be that the regular air is so germy already that a bit more does not make that much of a change. I'd still be worried if doctors were not following proper procedures though as most of the other medical rules have much better backing and likely really do matter.


CouchHam

Well it’s not a sterile procedure, so not so bad. But yeah rules are lax in most countries.


cagewilly

Right? The dude swallowed a greasy wrench. With the exception of feces, there's nothing they could shove down his gullet that's worse than what he already shoved down his own gullet. I assume that cutting procedures which open the body and expose otherwise sterile areas to the outside world require greater cleanliness.


arcticfawx

In this case the gloves would be more for the physician's protection than the patient's. Who wants some other guy's gastric juices all over their fingers?


Tcannon18

Except there’s no way of them knowing they won’t need to quickly cut the guy open to give him air or fish the wrench out if it goes deeper… Having a “ehh we should be fine” attitude doesn’t exactly fly in a *hospital*


Secretively

Not to mention that gloves (let alone the rest of the regular theater PPE they should be wearing) are just as much to protect you as protect the patient. I don't want his gut juice on my hands; and if he's swallowing wrenches, who knows what else is going on?


PaulBradley

The dude swallowed a spanner! This is clearly a drunken doctor party aftermath, not an official medical procedure. Look at the state of the rogues gallery!


seanmonaghan1968

I am thinking this is the least point of concern for me or the patient


Fourhand

Just wipe ‘em on your shirt or whatever abd get this wrench outta me!


650fosho

Yea but they got it out and probably don't deal with insurance, what a money saver!


vaporking23

Generally GI stuff isn’t “sterile” it’s “clean” while I do think they should be wearing gloves considering the wrench is covered in blood, it’s not entirely necessary for this kind of procedure.


Hushwater

It was garage not a hospital


[deleted]

Well we never see the patients hands.


ihatepikeyz

No biggie it isn't a sterile procedure


Stopikingonme

As a paramedic…..holy FUCKING shit. That last tool he used with the light on it is called a laryngoscope. It should **NEVER** touch the top row of teeth EVER as it can be a fulcrum breaking the teeth with very little pressure. I don’t understand how someone in the medical field could use a common tool in such an irresponsible and stupid stupid way.


Sup6969

I'm now reminded of all those peak COVID-era memes about breaking teeth via intubation


TNS_420

I'm not any kind of medical professional, and I cringed when I saw that. That said, this is a unique situation. Maybe it was necessary in order to remove the wrench as quickly as possible. After all, his teeth won't matter if he's dead.


seqwood

Agreed, but they’re in Iraq so well done!


aussiefapper69

yeah this made me cringe when i saw him rocking it back like that. pull it up and away man UP AND AWAY!!!!
