Trauma surgeon Annie Onishi is back with WIRED, this time to go over the Home Alone films (you know, the ones that MATTER).

Trauma Surgeon Breaks Down Every Home Alone Injury | WIRED

Her deadpan, professional delivery of “I’m worried they’re not able to see anything below about nose level” is amazing

[keitatsutsumi]

I mean we all knew they prob got bad injuries, but a professional describing everything sounds so much more painful

[FunFitMomUnpolished]

I love that she was a resident in her video 4 years ago, and now she's a trauma surgeon. GO GIRL!!!

[poka]

I'm not even at the craziest stuff and she's already talking about brain bleeds. Makes you realise how fragile we are

[XAutumnXFlowerX]

I like how she's not going through how realistic it was on how they got their injuries and simply analyzing the blows themselves.

17:31 former electrician here: one thing I always hear is “why don’t they just let go?” But the problem is that when electric current runs through you, it causes your muscles to seize up, meaning you’re incapable of letting go, and those muscle spasms can often last for weeks afterwards even with lots of physical therapy

Marv stepping on the nail and it going like an inch into his foot always made me _viscerally_ uncomfortable

[vineshuniyal]

"At this point, Harry and Marv should be suspicious that they are invading the house of some sort of psychopath" lol, seems right

[dorrin]

I love her deadpan, matter-of-fact delivery for all of these horrific, probably fatal injuries.

[autumnpixiedust]

We were there when she first introduced herself as a surgical resident, to trauma surgery fellow, and now trauma surgeon! So impressed with her 🤩

[pepepepegavillage]

Harry and Marv were just beasts. They had the ability where their health, defense and stamina increase by 5% for every item they've ever stolen.

[memine]

I'm going to agree with the doctor, there's nothing in that house worth dying for, and Kevin is earning his reputation as a sadistic

[theprinceoforange]

when she was like “despite all of these injuries that should have absolutely killed them, i admire the way that they can just get up and dust themselves off and keep going” i actually laughed.

[mats]

I love how she recognizes that Kevin is a psychopath

[elazarpimentel]

I love how Dr. Onishi is like "I understand this is fun, but you guys called me, and I take this seriously"

[mistergoddess]

I just saw a tweet yesterday saying "Marv stepping on the nail is worse than anything I've ever seen in any horror movie" and I gotta agree, that is so hard to watch. Which is funny because it's one of the less severe injuries but man the squick factor is insane.

[ArpithNathanThomas]

After seeing this video I can safely say that Harry and Marv are the people with Quick and self healing Abilities...

[sethorlando]

Who needs horror movies when we have this fantastic surgeon to explain these gruesome injuries haha

[theAllycat]

Her saying "head-bonk" after a very technically jargony explanation is what sends me

[comradegarrett]

As a welder I'm gonna say the glowing handle, given how long he was holding it and given that it was glowing dull red, that's gonna be very very severe, more than a second degree. I have actually had metal that color touch me and it blackened the skin and left a deep, thick scar even though the contact was briefer than what was shown. metal this color is gonna be something like 1300°F or 700°C which is enough to burn absolutely instantly. he held his hand there for close to a second. he's gonna possibly lose some fingers honestly.
