Trauma: Life in the ER (man impaled through Anus)

Recommended Posts

Did anyone watch this episode last night. Some guy was brought in to a trauma center in Orlando after falling from a 10ft ladder and being impaled though his asshole by a tree branch. The branch had to be cut out in segments because it went so deep. Docs said it stopped just centimeters from his heart. The only major damage was a tear in the bladder. All I can say is damn that had to hurt!!:o

Yes I saw that, being in school to be an EMT, I watch all the shows like that, because it is a very good learning tool.



Really? I have no medical background whatsoever, but I was under the impression that all these shows were full of bullshit.

Now where is that picture I had of the guy who got impaled on a fence post after wiping out on his motorcycle? That was some impressive shit.

No actually they are not. I watched them before I went to school and all the way thru school. Its funny, can still remember the episode when I heard some medical ER lingo for the first time and I knew what they were talking about. Im sure some of it is "dressed" up for TV, but the bare bones of it is very factual as are the procedures and intruments that they use.

Trauma Life in the ER is all reenactments. They have to get a shit lot of permissions before they can air that stuff. However the photo gallery on www.trauma.org is really awesome.
