Doctor Reacts To Home Alone Injuries

Listen to my podcast, @DoctorMikeCheckup here:

It’s the holiday season so I wanted to react to some of my favorite Christmas movies, Home Alone 1 and 2. I saw DistractifyYT brought on several doctors to react to the injuries in these movies several years ago, so props to them for the idea! In taking my crack at it, I discuss all sorts of traumatic injuries suffered by Harry and Marv, such as concussions, burns, testicular torsion, slips, falls, and the all-too-common holiday injury of an iron smashing your face. Oh, and nails in your foot. And bricks hitting your skull! Ouch… enjoy!

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

"That's death"
"First of all, good aim"
"But that's death".
I don't know why I found that funny.

I love that he actually explains the injuries rather than just saying oof that must’ve hurt.

The worst pains and fear I had as an adult and cried over was when I had a partial seizure, a severe cavity and the other time was when i stepped on a nail. Those three times my mother was there for me which was a huge blessing.

“Testicular torsion” sounded painful before you explained it and got even more painful after explaining it.

Note to self: never shave before going into dead sea

9:45 Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you.

[lyras.]

JESUS. I do NOT remember Home Alone being this brutal, holy hell.

[MAHU_music]

We all know that Harry and Marv are freaking immortal 😂😂😂😂

[Sailor_Enchantix]

This has made me realize a few things:
1. The Wet Bandits are clearly immortal
2. Harry and Marv only have one brain cell between them
3. Kevin needs psychiatric help

*“Falling 40 feet onto a metal car is the definition of needing a cat scan”*

The only thing you’re getting after that is an autopsy

[alushacandie]

Imagine these two guys coming to the doctor afterwards and having to explain their injuries...

[chezperky]

Despite the severity of these injuries they are just so funny you have to laugh

[dennisanderson]

7:39 A tip I've read: If it is NECESSARY for you to try touching a line/cable which is potentially actively electrified, touch it with the BACK of your hand. If you reach and grasp "normally" and it has a live current, that will cause the muscles in your hand to contract, preventing you from letting go, so use the back of your hand if you have "test."

Kevin doesn’t want to protect his house:
*he wants Harry and Marv to suffer*

[classyguy]

Mike: You can't even survive from this fall
Jackie Chan: let me introduce myself

[CodeNameV]

What is more amazing is that they managed to shake off each injury only to progressively suffer more as the movie went on.

[x-celsius]

I remember watching a special edition of this on tv once, and it talked about all the injuries they received from the traps. It was hilarious 😂

These burglars have a better healing factor than Deadpool
