Can a Cast Saw Cut Skin? A Balloon? Metal pipe? #shorts

Cast-saw injuries are sustained during cast removal or splitting of a cast when a hot cast-saw blade touches the patient's skin inadvertently during cast removal. #castremoval #castsaw #brokenbones

i caught my doctor licking the inside of my cast after i removed it

[amyh]

My first cast when I was 6. This was forever ago so they weren’t as safe as they are now. When they were cutting the cast off my arm I was telling them it was hurting but the fella told me I was just feeling the vibration. Wrong. When he finally got it off and I had a cut from my wrist all the way up my arm to just shy of my elbow. It was shallow but messy. It set a precedent for me and every time I’ve had a cast since then I go into a panic when it’s being removed.

Jefferson hospital burnt the underside of my left arm when the doc wasn’t paying attention😂😂😂. I will have the scars for the rest of my lofe

[Buckethead]

So basically I needed to get my cast removed and get a new one due to complication with my bone not setting properly, anyway so when they cut my old cast off I got burned in two different places, so yeah I'm getting this plaster off in a few days so I'm scared of them cutting at the same point of my burn but I'm also excited to get it off

[Dailyguessing]

Tomorrow I'm going to go get a new cast cuz I broke my leg so I hope this doesn't happen

[natsune]

I was cut by a cast saw after the doctor said it was impossible. He didn't say anything after he saw the blood. I don't know if he applied too much pressure, or my skin was too dry, or what.

[chrislambe]

Someone with a similar video claimed to have been cut. I reckon the blade was blunt and got hot and burnt him. Similar feeling to a cut.

[BlakeN-ol]

Thank you an actual honest doctor on here. So many lie their asses off about how it's impossible. When I was 4 or 5, I broke my arm. When they cut the cast off, I screamed. The person removing it said the vibration was just scaring me. But once they removed the cast, they saw a deep bloody cut from my wrist to my elbow. I still have the scar today, almost 30 years later.

I'm actually transcribing a patient report where a 2-year-old child has friction burns from a cast cutter, requiring plastic surgery with tangential excision of the burns and complex layered closure. I had no idea before now that this could happen.

[dirtysanchez]

I can't be the only one who thinks this video is weirdly trippy. The editing, repetitive saw noise in the background that fades in and out, the odd audio effect halfway through the video, the way he asks the end question. All this just gives a weird vibe that I can't explain, and I dunno why.

My first cast I got was the original plaster before fiberglass and I was 5 or 6 and when they went to remove it and turned the saw on I literally LOST MY COOL AND FREAKED then the doctor thought it was a good idea to prove to me it wasn't going to hurt me he turned it on and dropped it in my lap Holy SHIT I thought I was losing my balls but they only rattled

[ChenryYeogaming]

The doctor drop it on my leg by accident

[sarakarpe]

Im getting my vast removed tmrw! Btw i broke my left gand radius and dislocated it

[YusufAlbayati-tbrx]

The doctor said ii have 2 broken bones

[hannahmich]

I was burned several times by a cast saw. It was bad enough to leave a scar that I carry to this very day

[ImFloss]

I've been burned by a cast saw before, it did hurt a little bit it wasn't much and in fine now

[tuckercrouton]

One time the cast saw fully left a massive slit all the way down my wrist

[xhinmaranan]

I got hurt by a scissors when the doctor cut the cloth thingy

[geetargato]

Literally thought it was gonna turn into a injury lawyer ad at the end there...

[shantialphonso]

I have a really large scar from a cast saw.
