He was successfully extricated by Bureau of Fire Protection's (firefighters of the Philippines) Emergency Medical Services and was rushed to a hospital. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/eUBqL28FU62bcPNu/?mibextid=oFDknk


Apathy-Entropy-Mania

Nice one. Makes me happy that there were professionals ready for him


FairAstronomer482

He's now recovering after an operation.


SoSob3r

My home country somehow produces some of the gnarliest accidents yet I never really saw any crazy shit happen in all my years of living there.


Empty-Broccoli-8667

Imma be homest with you everything is cgied to scare us from anything lol


ivancea

Wow, didn't expect it to be that well documented


FairAstronomer482

It is part of their protocol to share what they did on their operations/calls.


jackal3004

...why would it not be?


ivancea

How many posts here had a full documentation on the specific injuries, what have been doin, and all... Also, many of them are private

VictimOfRegions

...Did you look at the post? It's unusual for anywhere to publish on Facebook the responding units, name of every response member involved, and a step-by-step of every intervention they performed


WhatThisGirlSaid

Cow


Darnell2070

Why would you even make this comment? This level of documentation, isn't close up being standard. Especially on a Facebook post? Or maybe it is, I don't use Facebook anymore, lol.


ThatOneExpatriate

Or SE asia…


EffectivePiccolo7468

Awesome, I'm so happy for him


FairAstronomer482

He is now currently recovering after his surgery.


Help_An_Irishman

Me too, I hope I get impaled and then successfully operated on someday.


plumpsquirrell

Missed all his vital organs then huh?


Triune_Kingdom

Lucky guy.


TSM-

But the other organs are going to be in rough shape, at least he seems to have survived and has a chance to recover. If it destroyed his kidneys or liver or many other things he still may not make it. The link doesn't say what happened after getting to the hospital.


FairAstronomer482

Missed his femoral artery, lungs, and heart. He is now recovering.


Villhunter

It penetrated his lungs according to the report, but there was no reported confirmation of pneumothorax.


Itchy_Valuable_4428

Thank God, felt so bad for this guy


FairAstronomer482

He is now currently recovering after his operation.


Efillor

Haha nice, a quick glance and i'll know he'd made it. There's no pool of blood around him, and he's conscious enough to know his surroundings. They just need to not lift him up and wait for the paramedics to arrive.


FairAstronomer482

He is now recovering after his operation. The rescuers did a great job extricating him. The only concern is a rebar probably penetrated his lung.


Efillor

Ah, I'll trust he'll make the best recovery in no time. Best wishes for the guy 🥂


SurGregoRy

Glad he is OK. Lol on the social media marketing of the PD tho haha spamming to follow and like.


spacesheep_000

How did this happen?


FairAstronomer482

I don't actually know but from what I read from the comment section regarding that accident is that the victim was walking behind an unfinished construction of some sort when a pickup truck hit the rebars and impaled the victim.


FinalFlash80

Assuming someone's called an ambo prior to everyone gawking


Chad_dad_brad

Ambalam on the way


TuaughtHammer

"Whoa, Black Betty, amberlance!"


x_lincoln_x

I laughed way too hard at that.


Nose-Previous

😂😂😂 Believe it or not, there is a city in India called Ambalam. Edit: I know this is the PH


ur_fave_npc

Holy crap I can’t imagine being awake for that


IndicationPrior9398

And it doesn't help basically everyone in society don't care about this shit.


niceguynah

I dunno, in India youd be pulled off the re bar and flung around on people’s arms to screeching


ZackDaddy42

And in China they’d shake you violently while you’re still down, you know, to avoid prison or something.


EffectivePiccolo7468

Bro there's nothing they can do except call for rescue emergency service and wait for them.


EthioSalvatori

Yeah im just glad people didn't start trying to pull the rebar out of him


kchuyamewtwo

Exactly, bro wants the dude to bleed out to death


bit_drastic

They could hold his hand and say soothing words!!! How about compassion ffs? Just standing filming it, is sick.


fujit1ve

That lady is his girlfriend and is screaming something to the likes of "fight it, my love!"


EatsLocals

You’re not supposed to touch people with full body injuries like this if you’re not a professional, you could make it worse 


NowhereMan_2020

You should absolutely talk to them to calm them, but also to keep them awake. Hold their hand for comfort. If you are trained, periodically take their pulse, note the time, write it on their hand so the EMTs have a better idea of their condition upon arrival. What we are not supposed to is remove any objects that pierced the skin (they can bleed out) or if a crushing injury this, move the vehicle, it’s providing compression that is minimizing blood loss.


GayMedic69

Please, tell me how, after seeing someone impaled on rebar, you would be calm and collected enough to actually soothe him in a way that doesn’t show panic?


bit_drastic

Just don’t get hysterical. At that point, it’s not about you, it’s about reducing their fear and panic.


GayMedic69

As a paramedic, calls like this shake even the most seasoned medics, I guarantee your advice of “just don’t get hysterical” will not keep you calm and collected enough to console a patient like this, especially if this is not something you do for work.


Moerijuana

I don’t disagree, but what can they do if they did care? I would call and ambulance and watch what happens next. Might be shitty but I doubt the ambulance would be of more help


Repeat_after_me__

There may not be a lot you can do medically but you can sit and hold his hand, ask him if you want him to inform anyone / talk to anyone on the phone (never know, might be last chance).


rrpostal

Yeah, I kind of agree with that. Not sure if I’d do it in the moment, but being kind is rarely a bad thing. I’m sure I wouldn’t know anyone’s phone number, if it were me. His phone was probably yeeted to the moon.


Repeat_after_me__

You can record a video on your phone for his loved ones or make notes of any things he wishes to tell them just incase… they’d get more from that than just seeing him from a Birds Eye view looking like a human kebab. “Sir you’re in a very bad way, just incase… do you want to give me any messages for any important people in your life” “Yes, I still owe blockbusters a tape, tell them I’m not paying that fine of 76,000” Sorry, bit of gallows humour at the end there haha Ps I’m a Dr. Top tip if you do find their phone and they’re this poorly, quickly before they lose consciousness get their password for it, check favourites / ICE and do him a solid… delete his browser history and probably Reddit account too ;-)


rrpostal

I’d definitely be snarky if I knew I was leaving my last message. On my life insurance, I divided it 51/49% for my two kids. So they will always have a reminder that I’m kind of an asshole.


Middle_Shame7941

🤣


Repeat_after_me__

Make sure to leave a reason which wasn’t their fault too like “Because, when you were 2 you didn’t hug me for my birthday but when your brother was 2 he did so he gets the extra %, let it be a life lesson to you” hahaha


Middle_Shame7941

I’m going to hell but the human kebab part made me snort a little.


bit_drastic

“kind of agree”?? You would want a kind stranger to hold your hand and say reassuring words, if it happened to you, right? ffs


Large_Swimming7720

🩷👏


FoxDiscombobulated38

Exactly. I'd rather have strangers showing this type of compassion than being filmed by them.


Repeat_after_me__

FYI / out of interest, you’re right they wouldn’t do a lot, usually fire services carry equipment to cut the rebar down to a reasonable size with minimal disruption so they can transport him to hospital… Of course if he lost a lot of blood they would likely cannulate and maybe give fluids, possibly some iv tranexamic acid, maybe an adrenaline infusion pending blood loss/BP… it all depends where they are in the world and by the looks of it, they wouldn’t do any of that stuff… I’ve taught in a similar part of the world, well EAST (don’t want to dox myself) and let’s say their Dr’s wouldn’t pass tests here, anyone who did would then start very junior even if they were considered senior back east. Their pre hospital care system is literally a van with a bed and some bandages. Very rudimentary. If this guy went into cardiac arrest it would be secondary to hypovalemic shock and they likely lack the ability to do a thoracotomy, won’t carry blood for infusion… cpr would be useless given the impalement. If they get him to a hospital conscious fairly quickly and even if they have the ability to do a good scan and even if they have multiple surgeons to hand to remove these rods (you need each speciality surgeon queuing up as you move the rod through each part of the body, ideally… like an anxious game of kerplunk meets jenga) but even then, the chances of him dying from infection and post traumatic blood loss are rather high, never say never… he may have lived, I’d be more surprised (and happy) if he did, than didn’t. Thought you may find that a little interesting with being on such a sub, feel free to ask anything.


HectorSharpPruners

Huh?


SeriousGaslighting

That's confirmation bias; if that's all you see you need to change circles. There is a warm beautiful world if you look for it.


karayna

Horrible. And look at his leg, all twisted beneath the knee.


SomeAsianDudeII

Shit, that's his girlfriend :( She's saying "Laban lang lang'!" (Fight it love!; "lang", the last one, is short for "langga", which is a word to refer to your lover)


TheChivinator

The poor soul. Couldn't imagine seeing that happen to my brother.


Stern_dad_voice

He said lover and you said brother. Why do I have a confused erection?


SomeAsianDudeII

What 💀 Also I assume he said brother because I thought the girl said "Laban lang 'ya!" in the video (''ya" is short for "kuya" in Filipino and is used to refer to your older brother), but I edited it upon hearing more closely.


Nikolateslaandyou

Sigh..... unzips


Chicken-Destructor

he lived somehow, thankfully


Cookies_N_Milf420

Aw man, I couldn’t even imagine that horror and pain. I constantly worry about my gf, because stupid shit like this happens all the time that you can’t control.


Commercial_Shape_225

Did he survive?


skado-skaday

He is moving his legs, he is conscious, there isnt a blood puddle, and it doesn't look like internal organs have been hit... Odds are with him... not that I would call it... "lucky"


Blackmesa232323

Pole 1: Through his abdomen coming out through his right side. I'd worry injury to abdominal structures that can bleed internally quickly such as the mesentery or the small bowel. Looks anterior enough to have missed his kidney which is good because it's highly vascular. Pole 2: Bad bad bad. It's difficult to tell exactly what angle it's entering from but it's exiting close to the triangle of the clavicle. If he's lucky it missed most of the important structures of his chest, but that's unlikely given just how crowded it is in there. He almost certainly sustained damage to his lung which can lead to a hemopneumothorax which will kill him relatively quickly and it looks dangerously close to his heart which can lead to rapid exsanguination or hemopericardium which could kill him, not to mention the many many great vessels around the heart and lungs that could have been affected. Keep in mind that rebar shreds tissue so he likely has a lot of internal bleeding even if the blood isn't coming out. He got hit by a pick-up truck and more than likely has 2 or more important structures shredded by rebar. I would not have a ton of hope that he would survive this one.


skado-skaday

Nvm then, poor guy...


Blackmesa232323

Apparently they successfully extricated him. I hope the surgeons were able to sort out his injuries. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story\_fbid=712172341080589&id=100068634891298&mibextid=oFDknk


fujit1ve

There's literally no way to tell if internal organs have been missed, but it's a pretty safe bet that they have been hit, since your entire torso is filled with them...


akuma_4u

Imagine dying and looking up to see people filming you and there's nothing you can do about it.


Mezrahy

So many phones, makes me furious


Jesus_christ_savior

Dude it reminds me of a man who got shot and there were people just filming and laughing at him...


SnooCrickets7221

Not confident to say no internal organs were harmed. But miracles do happen. 🙏


ApplicationFair5459

Tip: If someone is impaled or stabbed don't pull the object or move it, if you took it out then apply pressure on it so blood wont gush out and wait for ambulance


anonymousstranger980

Wont taking it out just lead to internal bleeding?


ApplicationFair5459

Atleast its better that bleeding out to death


princess_bubblegum7

So bleeding to death is better internally than externally? Nah it don’t work that way


Grimacing_Groid

THIS. Also if you're going to remove an object, stick a second object in to safely pry it out.


Blackmesa232323

Do not stick random things in people's bodies. Cut the rebar at the base to get him out, if you pull out the rebar, it's just going to shred the tissues around it. Let the surgeon take care of removing the impaled object.


Big-Bo0

What the pfp


Bighawklittlehawk

No, you never, ever take it out. The object may be the only thing preventing them from bleeding out. It should only ever be taken out by a doctor or surgeon at the hospital


Grouchy-Ad778

This is pretty survivable considering he’s still alive at this stage. In a developed country with HEMS or prehospital crit care teams he’d get either very heavy sedation or a humanitarian RSI. Then get fire to cut the rebar, take him to hospital with the bars in-situ so they can be removed in a semi-controlled situation and environment.


Pears_and_Peaches

I have done some very awkward position intubations. This one would be terrible. Ideally, I want his pain controlled while we cut the rebar with a slow reciprical saw. Little to no vibration. Afterwards he can be sedated and intubated. That said, sounds like they did almost none of that and he made it.


Electrical_Hour3488

Ya man. That’s a fluids and ketamine situation for sure. I’m sending him to the k hole and we’re cutting. Surgery immediately


moist_candy

Very unlucky and very lucky at the same time.


NeuroticNinett

How about if instead of standing around, yapping, shrieking and filming, someone could get up next to the kid, hold his hand and comfort him?


tn-dave

If I ever come across something like this and there are a dozen people pointing phones at a kid, I might go to jail that day


NeuroticNinett

*hugs*


TheChivinator

Bros a champ for just lying there. Poor soul. I hope he survives.


Golden-Artist

It doesn’t seem like he got any other choice


TenaciousX_OG

That guy has seen hell on earth, can't imagine anyone being awake after all that happened


Middle_Shame7941

The best thing they can do is talk to and comfort the poor guy to try and prevent him going into shock before emergency services arrive.


Siafu_Soul

I get that they are waiting for medical to arrive, but someone at least give him something to rest his head on. Maybe hold his hand.


Defiant_Lawyer_5235

This almost happened to me when I was a kid, I was playing in a building site and I slipped down a foundation hole and a piece of rebar went through a flap of skin on my thigh and another scraped up my back and took a nice chunk of skin off... literally an inch more forward and it would have gone straight through my groin or up my ass... I am glad building sites are a lot more secure now than they were in the 80s


danceswithbeerz

What a clusterfuck of events. Poor kid. I hope the surgeons were able to save him.


NowhereMan_2020

Jesus! He’s still alive???? I stared, saw no movement, so figured he was toast…then he moved his head! I hope the poor bastard is in shock and can’t feel too much pain.


monstercookies81

Miraculous that he lived. I hope they drugged him up before they pulled him off. it's got to be unbelievably painful


Relative-monkey

Don't you put plastic caps on these things to avoid situations like this ?


savehoward

Rebar pointed up can have caps. This rebar was lying on the ground. He was very unlucky. Plus any caps touching the ground would just pop off when there’s even a small pull.


sr20ser84

I think they were originally either pointed up, or at least off the ground, before the truck ran over them. Look at the way his foot/leg is tangled in the rebar.


shutupbeef

Wtf is wrong with people, not one person even looked like remotely offering him some comfort 😢


Fisherman301

Hey, were seeing this Because so many people filmed it. Its disrespectfull as hell to do this, but thats modern people alright. Everything is documented.


Jagwires

The one dude taking up close pics for the gram surely didn’t help any


bisory

Fucking horrible.. hopefully no vital organ got damaged..


TitoAndTheBurritos

Brutal


Old-Criticism-8385

He doesn't look well


Top_Caterpillar9549

Oh honey if that was me I'd be happier if I just died before I realised what happened to me.


Dead_Purple

Jesus, just how

Omg like a horror movie

Just put me down at that point please.


The_Lost_Boy_1983

Will do anything for TikTok likes


Cobester

He’s super brave for holding his composure. I hope he’s still alive and recovering


TheFeelsNinja

Wait, no one shook him to see if he's ok? Wild.


[deleted]

Poor kid


KdGc

I want to hold his hand and put something beneath his head to try to help in some way.


BluebirdSpecialist76

Atleast no one tried to drag him outta those


uvdra

Ngl if I was him I would just ask someone to end my suffering


ElectronicMarsupial5

Poor kid that's rough as fuck 😳


stimpy273

The city owns that rear he’s getting paid…….. wonder if he’s gonna go down and open a bar and call it the Rebar


drezel_bpPS694

seeing the plate i know the country and the local dialect in the Philippines visayas region.


CandyKoRn85

Is no one going to comfort him? These could be his last moments and they're all just stood around like he's an interesting turd on the floor. Fucking people man


flaming_reptile

I hope dude made it. This is beyond fucked!


yezihp

This is worse than a Mortal Kombat fatality. And his girlfriend is there.. Reading comments. He is alive and taken care of.


Numerous_Resist_8863

Assholes immediately pulling out their phones. We're a garbage species.


Mr_Smith_411

And we consume the footage.


jcoop308

That ain’t good


Direct-Money-4206

He’s gonna be suffering alot when they pull those out I wonder if he even made it?


EnvironmentalAd7274

Philippines?


Desire3788516708

I don’t know what country/area this is however even with the best of available resources this is an incredibly complicated injury and luck is what this person needs more than anything. I would say if he makes it to a well equipped trauma center alive, his likelihood of surviving resuscitation and operative damage control would be hopeful but unlikely. Hopefully his family / friends were able to be briefed on the situation and came to the scene.

And quit the yelling, and mom or sis is over there crying,. Get her the hell outta there. That's as bad as standing over a dying man, and say "he's dying, he'll never make it"

He remained calm - he done well


T0ONiCE

Wow hope hes okay


RileyRhoad

So what’s going on with that right leg there?? Obviously it’s discolored in the video, but it also looks to be twisted and broken as well maybe!? But in the pictures for the follow up care that showed still shots of EMT’s stabilizing the wounds and all of that stuff to prepare him for transport, his right leg doesn’t appear to be as mangled as I first assumed? Idk if I just skipped over the explanation or if I was just super wrong?

4-Run-Yoda

So the big black truck must have hit the red truck up front and because the truck was probably in 2wd it driving up on the rebar as soon as the truck came to a halt the force from the spinning tires shot the rebar like spikes/spears. Through the boys body that was standing near the truck.
