Got to love it.
In 1985, a state-of-the-art radiation therapy device called the THERAC-25 started blasting holes through patients' bodies, leading to the world’s first death by radiation treatment overdose. It killed two more people before anyone knew what was going wrong. Why?

PING GROUPS
Ever wanted to just shoot the shit with the kind of people who make accounts on a gore website and then come to chat? Probably not. But that's okay! You clicked this category for some reason, so that's what you're going to do. Post a thread. Start a fight. Get your dick out. Share some Garfield comics. Tell WPD how you want everyone here to die. Call them racial slurs because your penis is small and it upsets you.
If it doesn't fit anywhere else, post it here!

Humanity has long
documented sacrifices in the name 
of medical advancement. There 
is medical documents that record humanity’s beliefs on how to treat 
open chest wounds going 
back to 3000 BC (AKA sucking chest wounds.)
From leaving them open (1500s, believed to be fatal and unrepairable,) to bandaging, it took humanity over
200 years to perform the first 
successful documented open-chest wound 
treatment — When William 
Hewson found 
(in 1767) that a patient 
with a sucking chest wound 
was having trouble 
breathing, but was resolved when the wound 
was closed up. 40 years later 
during the Napoleonic Wars, this 
observation was confirmed as a successful treatment.
Later on, we went on to learn
the effects of air in the thoracic cavity 
(tension phenothorax), and how it impairs breathing 
inside the lungs.
Thanks to the Scandinavian invention of respirators in the early 1950s, the mortality rate for open chest wounds has declined to a range of 4% to 7% today. Down from 60% in the Civil
War, and 12% in WW2.
Now, most IFAKs carry at least 1 chest seal,
which is easy to use, and can be deployed on the field in mere seconds.
Humanity’s understanding of this
wound 
has evolved from “Idunno let the blood 
drain and we’ll close it down, let’s see if it works” to “Deploy a chest seal, 
if it’s unvented, tape 3 sides of the seal 
and allow the remaining side free 
to act as a ventilator. Monitor 
the patient 
until they can get to the ER, remove seal 
if patient 
present 
tension pneumothorax symptoms. That’s it.”
PS: Closing the wound
was suggested as early as the 1200’s, before firearms were introduced into battle 
- But this 
suggestion was not taken into consideration at any meaningful capacity.
Emergency First
Aid is available to civilians as a course, and I definitely recommend making the investment to gear 
yourself 
up for an emergency scenario. It could dictate if an event is your last day alive.
DOCTORS RULE

Marsey overkill and what does the reply have to do with the actual topic of the video?

It means that human experimentation sometimes means we kill
people

Marsified xD
Of course people die during testing and experiments, this is general knowledge. This one was interesting because a software error caused it after it had been on the market already and the thing made holes in people xD
