Why don’t cast saws cut your skin?

✰ 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐌𝐄 ✰
I’m Dr. Dana Brems, also known as Foot Doc Dana. As a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), I treat everything from trauma including broken bones, other sports injuries, foot wounds, calluses, thick or ingrown nails; you name it! Being a #doctor is a serious job, but we can have a lighthearted side too. That's why I created this channel- to make medical themed #shorts videos for fun, while also helping to answer your questions.

its really cool how they designed it so it wont hurt anyone, i didnt think that was a thing lol

[jakestephens]

When I was getting my cast off, the doctor showed me it wouldn't cut me.
Used it on his hand, and I saw it didn't cut him. It's fancy technology.

[Psycho_Sandwich_god]

Wow, when i was 8 or 9, i was so scared of this thing 😰

[Anonymouse]

This is Steve Mould he does some fantastic videos

Can still cause a friction burn. Yes I have a grudge.

[angellittle]

It _can_ cut you if being used incorrectly. There's a method of sliding a metal barrier underneath where the saw is going to go because of this (also helps with patient anxiety). It's _generally unlikely, _ but too much force, rushing it, inexperienced user, improper maintenance, all can lead to potential injury from these; and they can leave some nasty scars.

[stephenharvey]

It will not cut you, but it can burn you from the heat of friction.

Wish they had this 75~ years ago. A doctor cut deep into my grandma's skin while trying to get rid of the cast and ignored her screams. Even now she avoids doctor's like the plague...

[humbebpadilla]

That's very scary thing it can create big wound and big hurt to us

[ClashClash]

The difference between oscillation and rotation ^^)
Fun fact: you can get your very own oscillating saw in discount supermarkets. Really nice for tight corners. Or if you ever need to get rid of a plaster cast…

[Su_Felon]

Honestly, I knew this already but I watched the video because Doctor Dana's vids are quite wholesome if I do say so myself

[lisacrutcher]

It can cause slight redness and. Some skin irritation but other than that nothing happens

[markmatthews]

Wow, I never knew that, I had my own theory how it worked lol, thank you for that😊

[colorblind_]

It’s the same as an oscillating saw used in by builders.

[Inkersatz]

I had a cast when I was a little kid, and when it was about to get removed I was SO scared. Then it just cut right through and I was like, that’s it???

[VelvetDraginfly]

It Does on the Other had Get HOT, when used, and Can BURN you. Ask me How I Know?

[iraburtonirl]

When I got my cast off I got cut and it really hurt 😭☠️

[BelovedNL]

“This guy” is a pretty gross injustice

[yyyyyk]

Dana called us all uninflated baloons. 😭
