Crucifixion

Description: A medical doctor describes what happens to the human body during crucifixion, and offers his thoughts.

What is crucifixion? A medical doctor provides a physical description: The cross is placed on the ground and the exhausted man is quickly thrown backwards with his shoulders against the wood. The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He drives a heavy square wrought iron nail through the wrist deep into the wound. Quickly he moves to the other side and repeats the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flex and movement. The cross is then lifted into place. The left foot is press backward against the right foot, and with both feet extended, toes down, a nail is driven through the arch of each, leaving the knees flexed. The victim is now crucified. As he slowly sags down with more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating fiery pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain-the nails in the wrists are putting pressure on the median nerves. As he pushes himself upward to avoid this stretching torment, he places the full weight on the nail through his feet. Again he feels the searing agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between the bones of his feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through his muscles, knotting them deep relentless, and throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breath. Air can be drawn into the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself in order to get even one small breath. Finally, carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood stream, and the cramps partially subsided. Spasmodically, he is able to push himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen. Hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint wrenching cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from his lacerated back as he moves up and down against rough timber. Then another agony begins: a deep, crushing pain deep in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over-the loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical level--the compressed heart is struggling to pump heart, thick, sluggish blood into the tissues--the tortured lungs are making frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. He can feel the chill of death creeping through his tissues. Finally, he can allow his body to die... All this the Bible records with the simple words, “and they crucified Him” (Mark 15:24). What wondrous love is this? Many people don’t know that pain and suffering our Lord, Jesus Christ went through for us... because of the brutality; crucifixion was given a sentence to only its worst offenders of the law. Thieves, murderers, and rapists would be the types of creeps who got crucified. Yet, here Jesus is being crucified between two hardened criminals... What did Jesus do? Did he murder anyone? Did he steal anything? The answer as we all know is NO!! Jesus did nothing to deserve this type of death, yet he went willing to die, in between 2 thieves, so that we might be saved. And there, in between the sinners, was our slain savior for our sins.

This individual is being carried to the local trauma center after he was ambushed and shot, unable to find a phone this Good Samaritan was seen peddling code-one (lights and sirens) to the nearest hospital. Despite the hospitals efforts the patient was pronounced dead. Name names were released and Local DNR officials were unable to identify this patient as of yet if you have information regarding this shooting call 1-555-555-5555.

Disclaimer

The above pictures depict life on the streets. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) is a profession made up of EMT’s and Paramedic’s who respond to these types of injuries far too often. They deal with accidents, suicides, homicides and many types of other trauma and injury. The photos utilized on this page are a strong illustration of the devastation that the men and women of EMS respond to. A survey of 51 states in the United States shows an average yearly income that these men and women is approximately $27,000.00.

They respond to these types of injuries on an average of 3.5 times per week per medic. This site’s page intention is to provide a three prong approach

1.) Education (you must have the ability to deal with all types of traumatic situations, dealing with horrific pain and suffering)

2.) Reference Material (many EMS Educators have requested permission to use these images for in class presentation)

3.) Public Service (these pictures demonstrate irresponsible behavior such as failure to wear seat belts, the cause and effect of drinking and driving, the cause and effect of violence use guns, knives and physical abuse.)

I conducted a site poll over 2003, 659 individuals responded to the following question;

Many EMS and Fire related magazine’s share traumatic injury photo’s for both educational and public service resources. The poll question stated as follows: Should this provide the same type of data? Yes= 329 No= 217 Not Sure= 113

EXPLANATION OF THIS SITE PAGE

Too often EMT's, Paramedics, & Firefighters see all to close the results of violence as they did with the WTC, Pentagon, Columbine H.S. Shootings, & the Bombing in Oklahoma

Today’s Ambulances are high tech and heavily stocked mobile trauma units, specially built Ambulances meeting strict Federal guidelines, are staffed with the most advanced trained EMT’s and Paramedics. As seen in these three (3) pictures these rolling emergency rooms today utilize a computer aided dispatch plan (CAD) are moved through your city streets. How many times have you seen an ambulance parked in a mall parking lot? This is moving company’s assets around to better increase response times. In our area they are referred to as “signal” or “point” which stages ambulances and there crew through out various locations in your city. When one of these units is dispatched to a call, the dispatcher will reposition ambulances and crews to new locations to continue to provide rapid response coverage. National guidelines require a 6 minute response time and CAD helps these agencies to meet those guidelines. As seen in the middle picture a EMT/Paramedic treats the patient vigorously utilizing the same equipment found in an Emergency Room/Trauma Center’s.

As seen again in the middle picture the EMT/Paramedic risks his/her life in every emergency transport with critical patients the EMT/Paramedic cannot buckle up as they must attend to the patient. This is why it is so critical that that you pull to the right upon hearing the audible siren and oscillating lights, also keep car stereo’s turned down stay off cellular phones and please pay attention at intersections a minor accident can kill the EMT/Paramedic attending to what could be your family member and leaving a spouse of the medic and his/her children widowed and orphaned.

Here a Cardiac patient is being bagged via an endotracheal tube inserted by Paramedics enroute to a Local Trauma Center another medic using "universal precautions," monitors the patients cardiac rhythm.

Here a patient is protruding from beneath an overtuned vehicle often EMT's and Paramedics often climb into twisted steel that once was a car and begin treatment of the patient at grave risks to thier own lives as Firefighters use the jaws of law to free the patients an allow for transport.

Here a victim ejected from a (SUV) sustained major head trauma,the patient is being attended to as Paramedics prepare for endotracheal intubation. medic's & firefighters using "universal pre-cautions," prepare the patient for air transport in this situation.

as a result of a "white out," dozens of cars smashed into each other casuin a mass casuality incident (MCI) EMT's Paramedics, Police Officers and firefighters using "universal pre-cautions," extricate the patient trapped in the twisted steel.
