The myths we believe in №6

After the last release, I want something fun, right? Hello everyone, myths in which we believe. The first issue of this format was dedicated to the myths that we believe in because of films. And the time has come to return to this topic, because they cannot be counted there. And nagging in style is just movies, you should not take them seriously are not accepted. Because it was because of the films that people had fake memory and they think that I know how this or that thing came about. Do not believe it, let's see. The standard scene in the films.

"There is no pulse, we are losing it."

"Not on my shift. Defibrillation Discharge. You will live, I said. Maximum power. Super."

"Thank."

"It's my pleasure."

Is that familiar? I tried to repeat all the cliches from these scenes.

"There is no pulse."

"Discharge."

But if you think about it, what have I done wrong now? Well, for example, everything. If you ever have an emergency in the field and a dying person is near you, and the defibrillator is thrown off your helicopter, and after watching movies and TV shows, as a real connoisseur, you will simply kill a person. I remind you that killing people is bad. More details. Rubbing these pieces together at a dramatic moment is the most useless thing you can do. The only possible option, when it may be required at all, is to grind a special gel against each other. Of course, there should be no clothes, and the location of the electrodes is not the same as we are shown in the films, but something like this. Yes, and this patient will not return to life. The flat line on the monitor is a very dramatic moment in films. Everyone grabs the defibrillator and the woman is saved. Thank you all, all the heroes. But in fact, an even line means assistance, cardiac arrest and a defibrillator are not needed here. If you are not a doctor, then you are surprised. The answer was so close, in the title itself. Defibrillator I haven't said anything yet. Ventricular fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder. It beats frequently and randomly. This usually leads to cardiac arrest very soon. Therefore, take out the defibrillator. It smells of a short-term electrical impulse and restores the rhythm of the heart. That is, contrary to what is shown to us on TV, he does not start his heart, returning the patient to the world of the living, but simply does not allow him to die. It's funny when the battlefield game contains all the myths about the defibrillator. You run like that, rub and revive everyone through the armor. We want realism, they said. Although they are well aware that if there was gel on the irons that needs to be smeared, then go up to the person, undress him, attach and discharge, then people would complain that it is boring and long. People. Well, in your ignorance, you did not manage to save the person with the help of a defibrillator. What options? There is only one way that we were also told about in films. A shot of adrenaline in the heart. Wow, how clearly I got right in my heart. We shot this scene backwards. Maybe. Otherwise, I would never have hit exactly. Not to mention real life in a real situation. And thanks to him by the way for the popularization of this myth. Do not get into the heart for half the trouble. But tell me, why bother someone with a syringe? Another dramatic moment, because reality will look rather boring. In order to start a heart, you need to do an indirect massage or intravenously administer adrenaline. By no means a blow to the heart. You will make a hole, it will probably bleed inside, or it may even end up in the lung, if at all oblique. As for me, some cons. In the past, this technique was used, but was not more effective and was associated with risks, so it was exposed. Something tells me that you are a little surprised. Would you know how I sit in surprise when I see a film where a person is shot with a shotgun and carried in surprise by several meters. Do you know why? Because when a person is kicked very hard in the chest, it destabilizes him and he falls. And when the car is screaming at speed, he can at least fly up. This is a powerful pressure. But the shotgun seems to us much more powerful. It’s a firearm, it’ll carry it. In fact, myth destroyers carried out similar experiments and here is a miracle. Man does not carry back even a shot from a large-caliber rifle. I explain. The law of conservation of momenta. If the billiard ball collides with another, now another ball is already moving. Also, a bullet, if it gets into something small, it can move it. Only problem is that we are too huge. The bullet and pellet are too light, streamlined and fast, the more they do not bounce from you, but can easily penetrate. In order for the opponent to fly back, the shotgun must fire a cannonball. There is a reaction to every action, isn't it? For a person to fly away from the shot, it is necessary that the shooter fly away too. ‘That would be very stupid. It's quite another thing when you shoot something solid. For example, in the lock to open the door. How many films and computer games have told us that if you have a gun, you don’t care at all with a padlock or door lock. There is a small problem you know. Nothing will work out for you. That little lock, that little chain, you won’t break with a shot. A bunch of experiments on the Internet show that, for example, only a rifle can carry such a chain. But such a huge chain will take only 50 caliber. Of course, they will be able to open the lock, only in films and games this is done with an ordinary gun. But in reality, the bullet will simply ricochet and hit your head or knee. In short, they will not succeed. Have to complete one more quest. Find a key or bolt cutter.

"At last. Calmly, I did it a thousand times. Previously, it worked. Maybe someone has a key. Boys."

Let's move from the loud shots to the stealth part. The silent killer went on the warpath, took chloroform and was ready to euthanize everyone.

"Hey this rag doesn't smell like chloroform?"

"No, no and NO."

"It’s more like a lie."

Chloroform is an anesthetic that militant directors don’t know anything about. You know the only option when this situation would be true, when the offender would also go back and pick the victim with a knife, because chloroform does not work like that. It is a volatile liquid and loses its effectiveness when in contact with air. So the close-knit criminal who stands with this rag and waits for the victim is a complete nonentity. After all, he considers holding a rag and not the first freshness. Chloroform is quite dangerous and these criminals should know exactly what they are doing. They are obliged to calculate the dose that the person turned off while not dead. And people often have an allergic reaction, about which criminals do not even guess for sure. This myth has been spreading since chloroform began to be used. Just look, 1894 the newspaper writes that the thief cut off chloroform. Killer Holmes used chloroform and so on. But the trick is that often it was an exaggeration, speculation and other means were used along with chloroform. And in 1865, the scientific journal Lancet published an article stating that the effect of chloroform on humans is well understood. It takes at least 5 minutes of inhalation of a certain dosage to knock out a person. But at the same time they said that they would really like to look at the evidence that you can cut down a person instantly. Spoiler. They did not wait.

"I tell her Lindsay why did you leave? And she told me: “You are a cold-blooded killer. You go out and start killing people. I can’t live with such a person. ” What should I do now?"

"Maybe I will go?"

Well with chloroform. There is something more effective. How many films have we seen where a person has a dart with a tranquilizer. You probably start to guess that this doesn’t work that way. Firstly, the maximum range of even the coolest darts is not more than 100 meters. And the pistols are much smaller. You need to try very hard to get there. Recommended range is from 20 to 60 meters. In real life, darts will fly everywhere. And the person who needs to be put to sleep will not notice this. Nice comedy come in handy. It will be especially funny if they shoot with such syringes. This is by the way a real dart for immobilizing an animal. Tranquilizer. I know a lot of names. What kind of hidden shooting can be discussed at such distances, given that they fall in the neck or in the ass. Most likely they just shoot at point blank range. But even at short distances is it possible to get this way? We got these darts to immobilize animals. They are compact like in films and are suitable for a standard air rifle. I want to check how well they fly. Our bully will help us. I want to get him in the neck. The wind is there. Did not fly. They do not reach at all. Oops. First time hit. I saw how she walked very crookedly. I shot in the head from a distance of 50 meters, hit the arm. Somewhere hit, but not at all where I was aiming. In the hand? In the shoulder. In general, we decided to move a little closer to the target. And from 20 meters look at the effectiveness of these darts. They just randomly fly in different directions. Clearly, again past the target. You must understand that professionals use completely different equipment. They shoot syringes from special guns with adjustable power. But even they are used at a fairly close distance, usually no more than 60 meters. Terrific, we came almost point blank and we still got into it. What will happen? In films, a clichéd phrase is very often spoken.

"This is Ivan. I knocked him out with a horse dose of a tranquilizer, and will sleep for several days."

Congratulations. Most likely he will never wake up. In order to lull someone, you need to correctly calculate the dosage specifically for this body. A small dose will only lead to partial effects, and a high one can even kill, and this is if you do not take into account a possible allergic reaction, the thickness of the reaction, and so on. If you play it safe and do not immediately extinguish it with a strong dose, for example, the animal may need even half an hour before he falls asleep. If you smell a very strong dose, then you have to wait up to 5 minutes. About seconds and out of the question. The drug needs time to spread. This is generally a big misconception that a single dose of something may work the same on different people. Sleeping pills, poison and stuff like that. The body weight of people is different, everything is different, so the effect will be different. So what do you think? Did you learn a lot? In general, these are far from all the myths that I wanted to tell you about, but I hope you enjoyed it. Wait very soon for a new serving. Thank you for watching. What are you doing? How so?

"I will hack this computer."

"Horse dose of tranquilizer."

"What do you want to say last?"

"He has a cardiac arrest. Defibrillator No."

"There are 10 seconds left before the explosion."

"The policeman turned out to be the killer."

Stop. What's going on here?

"Don't you understand yet? You got to the most cliched place in the world, and to get out of here, you need to do one of the most banal and hackneyed things from our list."

Yeah, defuse the bomb at the last moment, fall out of the window and not suffer, become a loser who will save everyone at the end. Seems to have found. Play iPhones on your channel. Seriously, what could be more commonplace?

"It was as beaten and trite as possible. You did it."

"Did you have a bad dream?"

Yes, I dreamed that I was a blogger. Game.
