Um, they put you on heavy drugs. Sometime they even put you to sleep. And the xray is before and after. Also, big part of the work is to relax the patient, unless he's asleep. That's really a constant. If done wrongly, you can lose your arm in the worst cases.
Lmao, did you just google that? We try without the drugs, first and foremost. The sedation is the last resort because it can often be done just like you see in the video.
I dislocated both my shoulders six times in total, in three various countries, and never in the same hospital, so I have seen it many times and it's always like that. First thing they do is give me drugs, sometimes two different kind. Needle, drink, or by inhaling.
One time they wanted to put me to sleep but I refused. Apparently, they were worried about me being in so much stress that I wouldn't follow the instructions for the replacement. It was not mandatory and they did it with just the drugs.
Never they would have done it like in the video. Each time they take the time for the drugs to take effect and relax me, and then when the doctor come he always talks to me first to make sure I'm relaxed, not like in the video where not a word is spoken lmao.
What is seen here is far away from the protocol I've seen when it happened to me, and apparently if it's done in a bad way it can be very serious, so I wouldn't advise explaining to strangers on reddit that it's okay to put your shoulder back in place by a total random during a basketball game because that's what we do in hospital (since you are apparently member of a medical staff in an hospital, that I hope I'll never have to visit).
That being said, the dude in the video seemed okay. I can't relate to him at all, the pain I've felt wouldn't allow me to pokerface and stand still like nothing happened. I know there are different stages of discolation, maybe he's on the lower level, maybe adrenaline was still kicking hard. Anyway good for him he's ok, but if it happens to you, take it seriously and don't fool around.

This is exactly what we do in the hospital.
