TRAUMA Surgeon REACTS to head injury on POWER SLAP

Ойын-сауық

Power slap is a seriously concerning show. Essentially we are watching people get head injured. I genuinely see a big difference between this and combat sports.
In this video I discuss my concerns. In particular, I break down a head injury suffered by one of the contestants. We see the unmasking of the Moro reflex, a primitive reflex. The presence of this reflex is an indication that a traumatic brain injury has occurred.

    I saw an interview with Dan Hardy and he spoke about the power slap and said "you're basically trading brain cells for cash. We're at the point in society where you could put two people in cars and have them drive at each other and there'd be an appetite for that." And that is essentially what this is - a game of chicken without even the ability to swerve out of the way.

    Head injuries and concussions are always very serious injuries. The more times you get your head hit the more likely you are going to get long term effects. I really hope that you aren't facing any effects any more, but there is always that chance. I think that it is good for everyone to be aware that you shouldn't anything other than recovering after experiencing a head trauma. I've had one concussion. It happened when I was playing soccer. I hit myself with another player and got my head hit on the turf. I actually kept playing for five minutes and thought everything was right just like you thought your bike was getting stolen. 5-10 minutes after the hit I realised that I didn't remember what day it was and what I did just moment ago. Thankfully my friends were aware of my situation and that "I wasn't quite there" anymore after the hit. This happened in school so my friends sent me to see a nurse. He checked that I wasn't acutely in need of health care. I was really scared because I hadn't experienced memory loss ever before the hit. I got sent to see a doctor and she did all the necessary checks to me. For my luck this happened on Friday so I got to take easy for the weekend. My only injurious effects were headache and short-term memory loss about the hit. Symptoms only lasted for like one day so I was very lucky. I was really scared and this experience really shook me off. I was taking easy for couple of weeks after the hit and thankfully haven't experienced any long-term symptoms. Now it's been half a year and I am feeling really well. This "sport" of knocking the hell out of other person is so fucking stupid.

    I hear ya' friend. One never really can tell what kind of impact an head injury like this has. I did the same thing when I was young... cracked my skull on concrete in a cul-de-sac of my neighborhood when I fell off my bike. I was told that people came out of their houses thinking that a gunshot went off because the sound of my skull hitting the ground was so uncannily loud. I used to be a basically well-adjusted 15 yr old kid with a psychiatrist proctored 139 Woodcock-Johnson mean-iq before the brain bash. It sure seems like there's some evidence that I was negatively affected in some mental capacity, though I never went back to suffer through another pointless and lengthy iq test (which, paradoxically, this second time it might've actually said something not-so-worthless, if I could use it to compare before and after scores). I noticed a few mental 'blind spots' that developed around this time in my life (although humans are also naturally growing a lot at this stage, so who knows for absolutely sure)... But some evidence was, for instance, that I began talking much more and with less of a filter, whereas I was extremely quiet before and more internally thoughtful. I started taking longer to think things through and finish school work/tests. Started getting bad headaches. I was diagnosed as 'ADD' (the type without the physically hyperactive component). I'm always with my head in the clouds, unfocused on tasks directly before me a lot of the time to this day. Just incidentally, oddly, I think it helped a tiny bit with anxiety. I felt more generally spaced-out after my possible brain damage.

    My mom was diagnosed with ALS a few months ago and I was looking back on a few odd events that have occurred in the past few years. One that stood out to me was that she had a forward fall during which she did not throw her arms up instinctively to protect her head like a lot of people do, I guess what you're referring to as the moro/startle reflex. She straight up face-planted and sustained brutal injuries to the face, which seemed really odd at the time. In ALS patients, the upper extremities tend to be more hyporeflexic and the lower extremities tend to be more hyperreflexic, so I guess it makes sense that such a primal spinal-cordy type reflex (😅) would be affected by a condition like ALS since it seems to affect the body side of the nervous system moreso than the brain side. 🤔 Interesting. This video has helped me connect some dots as to why undetected ALS may have been affecting her ability to protect her head in that fall, which was initially confusing to me because when she was in the process of being diagnosed, she seemed to be very hyperreflexic (I didn't realize at the time that this was occurring mostly in her lower extremities during the testing process). Anyway, I realize it's unrelated to this video, but I thought you might like to know that you have improved my understanding of what my mom is going through. I'm very interested in medicine and I wish I had it in me to go to medical school. The human body is fascinating (and scary at times for situations like my mom's 🥺).

What I love about MMA is that there are infinite ways a fight can go down. Im very bothered by slap league because it’s honestly sick. I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis. There is simply no real skill involved and there is honestly no potential evolution to the so called “sport”. With UFC we have all enjoyed seeing how the fight styles and fighters have progressed over the last 3 decades. With power slap, there is absolutely no excitement associated with where the sport can go. Power Slap needs to respectfully die. I’m over it. I can’t believe anyone thought this could be considered a sport.

Slap fighting is not a real combat sport. There's no skill or strategy involved. These people are just standing there defenseless and getting rocked repeatedly.

    It is a breath of fresh air to hear a qualified professional tell the truth and call out his own profession to hold them accountable. These guys are getting brain injured while Dana and others capitalize?? I didn't like seeing a video of Dana putting his hands on his wife. With injury or infection there is an inflammatory response that can be seen using non invasive radiology. Progression of infection or physiological changes can be seen and was lectured in accredited medical education. The areas of inflammatory response can be isolated and has been lectured for CME credits required for ongoing medical licensing. There is no higher standard. Here is an example while lecturing in Chicago. We would be asked about specific health issues and whether it could be seen. I did not know that acute pancreatitis was a difficult diagnosis. Patrick Swayze, Michael Landon, Steve Jobs and others died from this. I was asked to look at a young man's shoulder so he strips to the waist and acclimates. Looking over low temperature spans, I told him the shoulder was fine what is up with the abdomen? I asked health professionals what is in the abdomen inflamed and looking like an inverted banana? Note: the image you will see here was to highlight the area of inflammatory response, changing temperature spans allowed isolating sources of inflammation using non invasive radiology. Note: Every pixel is accurate temperature that can be analyzed. thermoguy.com/acute-pancreatitis-can-be-seen-with-100-non-invasive-imaging/

    Hi Doctor, I have found your video very interesting. Brain injury topics have caught my attention since my father had a head trauma due to a fall at his house, neurologists told me he was very lucky to survive and not being paralyzed, he had a brain bleeding that did not require surgery, he was under anti seizure meds, blood thiners and a med to control a heart arrhythmia that developed due to the brain trauma, after 3 months in a nursing home he is back at home, he is rejecting the idea of living in a supported living facility, he was declared mentaly competent to make his decisions, my question is, is still safe if I lift him up when he falls and presses the life alert button? Or from now and on it is better if at every fall we should instead call an ambulance and taking him back to hospital? Thanks for your advise and hope you have a wonderful day.

    Ugh, thank you for being clear & vocal about this. Didn't hear about this fresh hell back when the response was posted & now see another (intercranial) event is scheduled for late October 2023. Perhaps trauma & neuro content creators could collaborate on an educational campaign to coincide with it. I'll put a few more thoughts about that at the end of this post. I only took about 20 hours of undergrad & grad neuroscience, a mere rounding error compared to the study undertaken by experts, but this being permissible (i.e. venues could refuse bookings, Vegas could intervene on behalf of public health, etc.) & seen as entertaining signals to me that two IMMENSELY important things are still not understood by the public: 1) Evidently, there's widespread ignorance about the medical gravity of the reflex you mentioned, which (like @obiwongaming mentioned) I also primarily hear called as the 'fencing' reflex or response. Perhaps the instinctive alarm it prompts in most who witness it isn't enough to make Concussion Clash "unentertaining," but people need to know if they see a child exhibit it in sports, or witness an assault, etc., etc. it MUST be mentioned ASAP to medics, first responders, family members of the concussed, or whoever is responsible for med intervention in a setting. Life or death matter at worst, (hopefully) shapes approach to monitoring/treatment at best. 2) After DECADES of discussion of CTE in contact sports... somehow, it seems the 'second impact' or 'consecutive impact' problem has failed to really sink in? Sports involve something other than head trauma, at least. This is nothing but rounds of head trauma. Agree with @DruSolis mentioning this is the ultimate deconstruction of sport, simple & repulsive trade of health in hope of reward. But I don't actually fear our human brutishness most in all this. Our base selves are a double-edged sword, sometimes aiding survival in unfathomable circumstances, sometimes piquing fascination with degrading exploitation like these "fights." What I REALLY fear is shrugging, feeling the normalizing of the lowest & cruelest is inevitable. Everyone speaking out is saying we can choose better, and I believe that's true. Finally, if a head injury commentary & education project was taken up by content creators to coincide with a future bout, I really think eSports organizations might join in and help amplify the endeavor. Many of these orgs have invested heavily in competitor wellness as a path to improved performance in recent years, and gamers at large are invisible participants in profitability of fighting events as a significant percentage of under-40 folks within sports betting. Liquid eSports, in particular, seems to have an awareness-raising organizational pillar in alignment with the medical community on this topic.

I can't help but think of the boxers who died not long after their match because of brain damage (Leavander Johnson, Maxim Dadashev, and many more). The obvious difference here is that major defenseless strikes to the head is the key element, highlight selling point, and focal entertainment value. Dana White in particular has a track record of being complicit in not looking after people's best interest over $$$. You would think his recent incident of landing in trouble over a slap coincidentally might prompt him to do some self reflecting, but I'm not so sure about that.

    First of all the whole Power Slap thing shouldn't exist and it makes me angry as well. But as a person who had a couple of seizures before, i disagree with whole "They are lying to you" at 5:47 . When you are on the floor and disoriented telling someone what's going on is pure stress and can be problematic for the person on the floor. An "Everything is fine" kind of talk to calming the person is better. What happens after he gets up or a minute later is important. But don't stress a person who just gaines conscious again.

    What would you have a doctor say to someone who just got concussed? If I just work up from a traumatic event, I'd rather hear, "You're okay," than, "Oh man, you're fucked." 😂 After the shock dissipates, then give it to me straight.

    The slaps in Slap Fight Championship (SFC) are not clubs which is why knockouts are rare and fights go many more rounds. Frank the Tank wins a lot because its more toughness and technique rather than the luck of winning the coin toss here in the club-fest.

    There is a CLEAR difference in that you can't fucking defend yourself in anyway it's clearly a HUGE difference than boxing or mma where you can duck,weave,block,feint, take down. And yes they also take head shots, but not in the same un defended way. So power slapping is basically getting TKO'd/KO'd in every match and round like 9/10 times, unless the person misses a bit. And just because it's a slap doesn't mean it doesn't do huge damage, it can even mask it like the video said because it doesn't do cuts etc. I just think it's way too boiled down and just cuts combat sport down to the Haymaker TKO/KO element.

    If one consents to trading brain cells for cash who tf are u to judge? U are completely unaware of their economic standing. In that context, the brain cells they’ve consented to waste could be viewed as a noble endeavor. Their decision to compete is completely their responsibility regardless of the trauma suffered, if a doctor has deemed them to be fit for competition & has taken all ethical consideration into account, the responsibility lies solely on the contestant who chooses to compete. Not the doctor.
