Trauma surgeon Annie Onishi is back with WIRED, this time to go over the Home Alone films (you know, the ones that MATTER). Annie breaks down every injury from the first two films, explaining what would happen if Harry and Marv actually experienced the physical trauma that they sustain in the films.

  • 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
  • I love that she was a resident in her video 4 years ago, and now she's a trauma surgeon. GO GIRL!!!
  • @docternoblex
    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
  • @p0oka261
    I'm not even at the craziest stuff and she's already talking about brain bleeds. Makes you realise how fragile we are
  • "At this point, Harry and Marv should be suspicious that they are invading the house of some sort of psychopath" lol, seems right
  • @memine8795
    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
  • @lindareed8265
    I love how she also sympathizes with the trauma personnel who'll have to deal with these things, like the feathers.
  • @mats7492
    I love how she recognizes that Kevin is a psychopath
  • @pup64hcp
    Marv stepping on the nail and it going like an inch into his foot always made me viscerally uncomfortable
  • I love how Dr. Onishi is like "I understand this is fun, but you guys called me, and I take this seriously"
  • So, what she's really saying is... ... Harry and Marv are actually cartoon characters. It's the only way to explain how they actually survive this much abuse.
  • We were there when she first introduced herself as a surgical resident, to trauma surgery fellow, and now trauma surgeon! So impressed with her 🤩
  • @BryantMitchell
    Unfortunately I don’t think Harry and Marv are the kind of people who have health insurance
  • @82dorrin
    I love her deadpan, matter-of-fact delivery for all of these horrific, probably fatal injuries.
  • @sethorlando
    Who needs horror movies when we have this fantastic surgeon to explain these gruesome injuries haha
  • @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.
  • 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.
  • @notmattmclellan
    Hearing Annie talk makes me feel really safe knowing that there are some incredibly brilliant people ready to help in a medical situation if I need it.
  • @llamalover02
    I appreciate that she acknowledged the "poor burn nurse" that'll have to clean things up.
