This is a seemingly random list of things

that I avoid as a doctor because of all the terrible injuries that I have seen in my medical training.

And a lot of these are kind of common everyday things that you wouldn't really think twice about,

but I do because the injuries I've seen from these are unfortunately way too common and it can be brutal and life-changing.

So jumping right in to number one,

if I am riding on the passenger side of a car,

I never put my feet on the dashboard.

why because if you get into a car accident

which can happen even with the safest of drivers

that airbag is going to deploy in about a 20th of

a second you do not have time to put your feet on the ground

and

so what's going to happen is with your feet up your

knees your legs are going to slam into your face very forcefully and that can cause significant facial trauma traumatic brain injury,

it can cause leg fractures,

hip dislocations, a whole host of really,

really bad things that you do not want.

So as a general rule,

I keep my feet on the ground.

Number two are trampolines.

You would not believe the magnitude of injuries

that are seen in emergency rooms across the country each year because of trampoline injuries,

which can be quite serious,

including spinal cord injuries and again, traumatic brain injury.

In fact, there are so many injuries associated with trampolines that the American Academy of Pediatrics has actually taken a stance.

They recommend that no more than one person jumps on a trampoline at the same time.

And of course, they recommend against doing the somersaults and flips and stuff like that, obviously.

For me personally, I take it a step further.

I just don't mess with trampolines.

I don't think the benefit outweighs the risk of injury.

So it's always been a no for me.

Number three is especially important if you have small children

but even

if not i think it's a good general practice i avoid

using the front burner of my stovetop my range as much as possible

because what can happen is

if you have say like a pot of boiling water on

the front burner that's more likely to get accidentally pulled

or pushed as you walk by and then of course

if you have kids if they're just curious

and trying to grab something they can easily pull that down

and burn themselves if

that hot water falls on them there are actually hundreds of thousands of children

that get treated for burn injuries in emergency rooms across the country each year

and 75 of serious burns in really young children those under five happen due to hot liquids

so cooking your food

or boiling your hot water on the back burner keeps it further away from children

and reduces this risk number four

if i don't have a helmet i am not riding a

bicycle end of story period i've posted about this before on my other platforms

and it's surprisingly controversial like people have said

that i'm actually discouraging physical activity

and exercising people by saying you shouldn't ride a bike unless you have a helmet

but i'm always going to stand by what i say

because here's the thing

if you have the wherewithal to procure a bicycle i think you have the wherewithal to procure a helmet

and the basic bottom line that that you just have to remember is that there are multiple high quality meta analyses,

not just single studies, but groups of studies that have been analyzed together

that show that helmets are associated with a decreased risk of serious head injury.

End of story period.

That's all you need to know.

And number five, again, this is going to seem random,

but I don't cut avocados if I'm in a hurry.

Cutting an avocado is actually a surprisingly common way that people injure themselves,

that they cut themselves while they're in the kitchen.

And in fact, it's actually been studied.

Between 1998 and 2017, so two decades,

there have actually been more than 50,000 avocado-related knife injuries in the United States.

The vast majority of those are hand injuries.

And interestingly, about 80% are in women,

which I can personally attest to.

I remember being a resident in Manhattan and

so many times I would come into work

and see these girls who came in with cuts on their hands saying that they were slicing an avocado.

They were trying to be healthy,

make a quick breakfast before work that was really nutritious and they weren't careful enough and they cut themselves.

So to me that just says I'm not going to mess around with these guys.

A much better way is actually to use a butter knife.

You can even use a spoon and push the pit out instead of using a knife to get it out.

But bottom line, if I only have a knife available,

I am not going to even attempt this endeavor unless I have a lot of time to do it really carefully.

Number six,

I would never ever dive into a body of water unless I absolutely a thousand percent knew how deep that water was.

Why?

Because if you dive into a shallow body of water

that you didn't know was shallow you can significantly injure your head

and spinal cord in fact diving is the fourth most common

cause of spinal cord injury in the united states actually that's

for men it's the fifth most common cause in women

but still and the other really unfortunate thing about these injuries is

that they commonly cause paralysis which is obviously something

that people who suffer from this will be dealing for the rest of their lives number seven would be

that I do not pet dogs,

strangers, dogs, dogs that I don't know.

And I would never ever let my children or any child that I'm around do so.

Dog attacks are obviously brutal for adults, but especially for children.

When I was on my pediatric rotation in medical school in the pediatric ICU,

it felt like there was always at least one kid there who had been attacked by a dog

and they were in critical condition.

100

So I always say dogs need to have their personal space unless you really know that animal and you trust that animal.

101

You need to be very cautious because things can go wrong in an instant.

102

And lastly, I do not mix alcohol with public bikes or those little e-scooters.

103

It is a recipe for disaster.

104

Studies do show that a high share of these crashes involve alcohol plus a lot of times

105

when people are riding these e-scooters they're not wearing a helmet they are just risking it

106

but head injuries can happen i have seen them they can be brutal

107

and the risk for having a serious injury goes up significantly

108

if you are intoxicated your reaction time is decreased you're just more prone to injury

109

so this is just something that i would never do it really makes me scared

110

if i'm with a group of people and they want to ride a scooter

111

or one of those bikes the public bikes like bike share

112

things at night it gives me anxiety anyway that's all i got for you today hope this helps somewhat

113

if you want more videos like these let me know in the comments i have

114

so many more videos like these

115

that i could make i'm also thinking of making one about things

116

that i won't do in terms of taking medication so

117

if that's of interest let me know

118

and of course follow along you are more than welcome on my corner of the internet

119

if you like this type of content and I'll see you in the next video
