  • it just proves elders can still do great things

  • wow

  • Mmm, here comes the charcoal!

  • Why was her dad at work when his wife was in the hospital delivering a baby..?

  • @MusicontheBrain247 'cause that's how people pay the bills.. they work even when they don't want to be.

  • Windham CT?! That's where I grew up! After taking a look at the street shots, they shot all along the same route about 2 miles worth. I grew up in a house just beyond some trees in one of the shots. While they're driving to the hospital, the shot used is actually driving away from it, and then when they cut inside the car, they're driving towards the hospital. They used Windham Hospital as both Windham and Hartford Hospitals, which makes sense because Hartford Hospital is too far away.

  • Call 911, THEN call poison control. Or have someone else do it.

  • call poison control already!

  • Medicine is not candy.

  • Lol, when she saw the pills out she must've been like "OH EM GEE!"

  • 4:59 SCOTLAND ?

  • @trolololtiger  no but do you mean were was this they said Windham, Connecticut..

  • She had grew from that day to 4 years later into an incredibly beautiful girl.

  • I'm a preschool teacher... one day a 3 yr old came in with a pill bottle filled with mini mnms that his dad gave him to play with so he wouldn't cry when he got dropped off.. which i immediately took away which made him cry more and launched a class discussion on why you shouldn't play with pill bottles... which surprisingly most of the kids new why... but still why would someone think it would be a good idea to let a kid play with one of those...

  • What is it made from?

  • @lifesaver173 Digitalis, or Digoxin, is actually made from the leaves and stem of the Foxglove plant. it's by far one of the most lethal plants in the entire US. if not, the world. however, digitalis, which is made from the leaves and stem can help patients with cardiac arythmias.

  • i did the exact same thing at that age, i ate some of my mama's pills, well i actually only had 2 bites

  • call 911 dumb fuck

  • guy these r just acters but its what happened in real life and u can tell of course the 6 years later thing IS NOT REAL coz it looks nothing like her!!!

  • @teenie979, Shrielle at age 2 was portrayed by a little actress, Shirelle at age 6 is the real shirelle!

  • CHILD PROOF CAPS WTF i guess not for that medicine

  • @RaptorLuv there were not many bottles that had child proof caps back then.

  • It's ironic how the medications that are supposed to help can kill if they're in the wrong hands. I had my puppy eat some of my medication because I dropped it and she ate it faster than I could pick it up. I had to take her to emergency and it cost nearly 1000 for that vet bill for a stupid mistake that I made. It just goes to show you that in a second a life that means so much to you can be taken.

  • I overdosed once. Not on this but i did. It wasn't pleasant. I was throwing up like no tomorrow. I was throwing up so much i couldn't breath. And i was hallucinating and falling over.

  • She is so lucky that she is still alive. 

  • @scottspeaksfuckinsux why do you think this is funny? you a sick person! how would you like it if one of your kids got into digoxin and almost died. you need to show some respect! grow up! maybe you should take the medicine and end up in the hospital! see how you like it.

  • This might work....

    The great-grandma should have put however many pills she needed to take a day in her shirt pocket, and keep the bottle in the cupboard locked.

    Or have Sara give her mother her medicine at an appointed time each day while keeping the pills high on a shelf or as I said a locked cupboard

  • Keeping the meds on the table was a bad idea because of a little girl like Shirell who could easily get to it, yet helpfull to Sherall's great grandma because she was blind and could easily get to it.

    So the question is, where does one keep medicine out of a child's reach but easily accessible to someone who needs to get at it???

  • They didn't ever mention what inspired the little girl to swallow the medication. I'm guessing she thought it was candy or something? Whatever, I'm very pleasantly surprised she didn't swallow the whole contents of the bottle. I wonder why this show never interviewed Shirelle in this taping like they have with other kids her age.

    I do agree though, that if keeping the bottle out of Shirelle's reach would have caused other problems, someone should have put a childproof cap on it!

  • i took my grandfathers medicine in 2004 as a joke, and didn't go to the hospital because my dad was an attending physician and knew what to do

  • So cool to see this. Sherell's mother is Pam. Pam and I used to play together as little girls when she came to visit her grandparents : )

  • Digitalis is derived from the foxglove plant.

  • 1986.omg!

  • Wait a second. the mom of sherel was having a baby and the dad was at work? ok......

  • @XSmileyCupcakesX it was the 80s...lmao!

  • I love the fact that they reacted as soon as possible. No time just went. I am so happy they did that!!!! Oh my god...poor girl.

  • What Does OD mean?

  • @Fartingbellybutton

    Normally it means Over-Dose.

    (hope the info helped)

  • @Fartingbellybutton Over Dose

  • @Fartingbellybutton OVERDOSE

  • she is lucky to be alive

  • She needed some amiodorone....

  • poor little sweetheart:(

  • I did the same thing, my Dad has irregular heart failure and took meds. My brother gave me 2 pills 1 4 me (I had a headache) and 1 for my Dad, well I took the wrong one. But I didnt throw up, I only felt a little sick, my Dad just yelled at me for taking his meds... hmm Im glad nothing happened, geesh!

  • 01:24 an untentionally funny scene looks like it was set in the colonial period.

  • well maybe you shouldnt have medication that kids think is candy lying around

  • @loveybumblebee554 she didnt think it was candy she told the lady she "took her medicine" and they left it on the table because of the blind grandma. they say it all in the video.

  • Thats so scary. It breaks my heart to see a child go through that.

  • the toddler charel is so cute. kids always take something that is why they should keep it where they won't reach medications. thats why it says keep out the reach of children.

    the child is lucky

  • And that's why child-proof bottles are a lifesaver.

  • Wonder if she went to the same hospital as the mom for her OD.

  • charcoal is so nasty they had to give that to me as a kid because they didn't know what was wrong with my tummy, year in the hospital and they still never figured it out, 20 years later and i still remember how nasty that stuff was.

  • Hmmm.. I wonder if they had digi-binde available to give her...

  • For those who are wondering:

    DIGITALIS is a heart medication

    ALSO:

    Never call a medicine candy

    Don't take medicine in front of young children

    Hide medicines where children wont be able to reach them

  • @stinabinababe Um, yeah, the episode explained that. Activated charcol doesn't work in the GI tract - if it's there it's already in their system, the stomach is where it works best. It works by binding with chemicals through its high surface area.

  • do you have the part of the episode called 9-11 smart boy?

  • would have put the pills some where the little girl could not get them.DUH!

  • @michaeldavis678

    But then the little girl's great grandmother would not have been able to get to them easily because she was blind.

  • How horrible. Poor thing. These shows are great because they can teach a lesson.

  • 1:21 what a colonial looking top!

  • Digoxin has a very narrow therapeutic range. A blood concentration less than 1 nanogram per mL is less than effective, and anything more than 2 nanogram per mL is toxic.

    Activated charcoal binds digoxin not yet absorbed to prevent absorption to the bloodstream.

    This child is VERY lucky.

  • i live in ct and i know originally life star didnt have the star and a different color (blue) it was white

  • um, don't those kinds of bottles have a special cover that you have to push up...so how did the little girl know how to open it???

  • my name is cherelle!! nuts dont hear it often.

  • this is why on the back of the pill bottle, it sais, "keep away from small children"

  • For what it's worth--I'm an aviation buff, so I looked it up:

    The chopper used in this reenactment isn't the Hartford LifeStar--which is blue. I don't know who's it was then, but in 2000 it was without the "New England" and "University" markings and was down in North Carolina--leading to speculation that the helicopter was transferred to a different hospital.

  • I saw an episode of 'George Lopez' where Carmen got birth control pills and Max took some of them, thinking they were mints, and got a stomachache. Cherelle would be 25 now and she probably still looks back on that day.

  • why would you leave a bottle of medicine in plain view on the kitchen table???

  • If you had paid attention what Shirelle's grandmother Sarah said in the beginning, you would have noticed that she said she left the Digoxin on the kitchen table so her mother could have easy access to it due to the fact that she was blind; most likely she didn't want her mother to have to reach into the cabinet for it when she couldn't see what she was reaching for.

  • they said shes blind, and its easy for her to find it on the table

  • charcoal probably is a good clensing system, but is it really necessary to drink a whole cup of it?

  • Yes it really is necessary to drink a whole cup. It sticks to the poison and doesn't let it get absorbed into the body, the more charcoal given is less poison entering the body. Even if it does taste like a chunk of asphalt.

  • Gross

  • It would be horrible to have died on your brothers first birthday!

  • well whether or not she didnt like it, it had to be done in order to save her life

  • what do you mean a few holes in the story? why would they lie about what happened?

  • That's horrible. The worst thing is they couldn't give her the charcoal because she could not keep it down. That stuff is very yucky, and often kids won't drink it, because its black, but she did VERY well. Although like I said she couldn't keep it down.

  • @medicaldud not supposed to keep it down it is supposed to come up

  • @medicaldud But wouldnt the medicine make her Vomit?

  • @medicaldud *I* couldn't drink it, and I'm way over 18, but the reason is the same. Then they tried to put a tube into my nose and both sides rejected it, b/c the space was too narrow between my nose and the pharynx.

    So then the dimwits put it down my throat and into my stomach while refusing to listen when I told them my I.V was infiltrating.

    I was an EMT-I then, I know what an infiltrating I.V looks like. I OD'ed by accident on pain medicine.

  • why was the great grand mother still there?

  • Boy, this segment is the early version of 623 Depacote Disaster which should be Depakote Disaster.

  • wow she must have been triping balls

  • At 8:10, that looks like either a skin-colored tank top, or a bikini line.

  • The same thing happened to me when I was about two years old they had to pump my stomach Im actually surprised that I remember that incident.

  • 3:44 - eww, did she actually drink that stuff? it looks like black oil.

  • Oh yeah, the charcol? that's nasty stuff

  • What does it taste like?

  • like charcoal LOL. seriously, pretty nasty i would imagine. i would probably throw it up as well

  • Charcol is a nasty black stuff hospitals use for medication ODs. It comes in liquid form with a gritty feeling to it. It tastes very nasty and turns your mouth and teeth temporarily black and when you have a bowel movement, it comes out black. LOL

  • 00:45 - omg, i remember that old toy set. i used to have one just like it when i was little...(sigh)

  • That security guard would not have held me back if that was my wife or family member on that chopper; I would have kicked the crap out of him.

  • You would be going to jail for assault then probably. That would've helped in the situation, but I totally understand what your saying

  • I know but sometimes I can get angry like the incredible hulk. Your right arohn2007.

  • how could the kid throw up

  • What Does that mean Digitalis?

  • i think its another word for genitials

  • At no time you leave medication around where a child can access to it. You're suppose to keep it in a cupboard high up so that the child can't reach it. Children that young are always curious and will do and try anything because they're innocent. So to those adults out there, use your good common sense and don't for even a split second leave any medication around.

  • Were there even child proof lips for the mediotion tudes?

  • Yes cause digoxin is very toxic but with seniors they sometimes leave out the child proofing if there is trouble opening them.

  • Has anyone heard of the 80's officer UGG Stickers, Green face with a police officer costume with green hands over mouth.

  • OMG!!!

    DON'T DO IT LITTLE BOY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

    when i saw this episode THATS WHAT I SAID

  • well i was young,i thought she was a boy!

  • Medications are the most dangerous poisons in the home. Bleach and detergents can make a kid sick as hell, but medications can be fatal. Most poisoning deaths at home are due to medication overdose.

  • be nice to allgood naughty people >;) without allgood's kindness to go to the hassle of putting up these vids, (which are not even on dvd as you can see by the petition links) we wouldnt be able to see any of it! these vids are old, obscure, and bound to have some issues...i am grateful to relive this part of my childhood, thank you allgood!

  • by the way epinephrine is just adreniline

  • damn child proof caps they never work kids always find out how to get in them hmm a cap that shocks u if u try 2 open it

  • eeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmm....­...........keep ALL medicine out the reach and sight of children....jeez...lol

  • i mean where is 911 in this episode?? hehe lol funny

  • You must be thinking about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It's not about that. Its an episode from a TV show called "Rescue 911", referring to the number you call when you have an emergency.

  • Oh duh! You're right! The family never called 911!

  • I believe there were/are some areas that don't have 911, so they have to rely on their local emergency numbers.

  • huh .. what are you talking about?

  • I wonder what the antiodote is .... epinephrine? (to increase the heart rate)

  • poor kid, as a student nurse ill be seeing this alot, but in a way i hope i NEVER do.

  • What's more dangerous? Digoxen or Depakote? Yep, that is in reference to the depakote segment!

  • thanks for the videos but the volume really sucks... not trying to be rude just saying...

  • I agree with you I can barley hear it.

  • Thanks, manbecause he starts with "Every Shatner's opening resembles that of a non recreated segment, because he starts with "Every year more people die from poisoning or accidental drug overdoses

  • is #208's Smoke-filled house the same length as the original from #108 cause I read it was repeated from #108-208 and is there extra scenes in the #208 version?

  • What does that charcoal taste like??

    Is it like those charcoal rocks that get put in a grill, but in a liquid form???

  • chalky taste amost.

  • yes i believe so.

  • it chalky tasting, But when it comes out the other end it's like Tar.

  • happy you don't want to know what charcoal taste like... its horrible

  • speaking of this a flashback memory came to mind when the scene with the charcoal came up I remember putting gun pellets in my mouth, but it turned out I would be ok but I believe I needed charcoal to poop out the pellets., I was ok not in a life or death situation but it scared my mom.

  • You mean poop out the pellets from your rear-end?

    I suddenly lost my appetite!

  • yes i was a baby when it happened

  • Request:

    Do you have the Depakote segment??? Just for future consideration. If you don't have it, no trouble at all.

  • Don't pill bottles have child-proof caps where children are not able to open the pill bottle??

    That medicine bottle should have been left on a high shelf where Cherale could not reach.

  • i know that she was only two, but WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?!!?!?!?

  • here's your answer:

    She wasn't!

  • Anybody have those Red-Hot candy's. They taste like Fireball's, but looks like pills, and they were red.

    They could have been used for Depakote.

  • If you ask me, leaving that medication on the kitchen table was a big mistake especially where the child could get to it.

  • Did Cherale think she was her great grandma, and that's why she "took her medicine"?

    The medicine was not for Sherale obviously, so why did she think it was hers?

    Just something I wondered.

  • Last question::

    What is Depakote, and what's it used for?

  • Depakote is used to treat bipolar disorder

  • Anyone remember the Depakote situation/segment?

    Al I know is a teenage girl takes Depakote for something-I forget.

    Her little sister finds her pill box, and takes it.

    How do you think Depakote can be faked for a re-enactment?? Just an open-ended question for your thoughts.

  • The teenage girl, I think her name was Diane, took Depakote to control her seizures.  If you ask me, the mother should have taken the little girl to the hospital anyway just in case.

  • I think the Depakote pills were red

  • During the actualy situation, I am betting the bottle of Degoxen was filled with the real thing.

  • That black activated charcole stuff looked like something children should not be taking even if it did help Cherale.

    Gross!! If it tastes like garbage, it should not be taken.

    It looked like Tar!

  • When the mother/grandmother called her other daughter, the daughter should have told her to call 911. Still go over to the house and see how you can help, but get emergency services rolling first.

  • That charcoal is nasty I had to take some of that one time.

  • Was a re-enactress used to play Cherale during this segment?

    At the very end, she looks different when walking with the family, then during the re-enactment.

  • What candy does anyone suppose could have been used to look like Degaxon??

    I'm pretty sure, that while Sara is getting dressed, the fake Dagoxen is being spilled on the table.

    Cheral's crying is not from the medicine, but from good acting I bet.

  • Since it is a re-enactment, I am sure the movie industry has or can easily make any kind of "sugar" pill needed.

  • Oh no!

  • I am sure candy was used for the medicine in this reenactment.

  • freaking scary ty 4 upload moe! keep em comin!

  • Was there a commercial break pasted over at 2:49? It sounds like they were about to break...

  • Yes, this is the syndicated version of the segment which had a commercial break. The segment did not have a commercial break in the original broadcast.

  • That's why there needs to be child-proof caps locked away in a cupboard.

  • Lastly, I have a hunch on how this re-enactment was done.

    Cheral never took the meds I'm guessing. While Sara goes upstairs to change we never realy see Cheral take the pills.

    While Sara was changing, the pills were probably dumped on the table as we saw them.

    But Cheryl never took any.

    Cheryl was probably acting, or a little girl played Cheral.

  • I always thought of the black charcoal stuff disgusting, and I would have spat it out too!!

  • 1. What is Digitalis??

    2. Why did she Cherel say she took her medicine when it was her great grandma's and not hers?

    3. It bothered me that Cheral's great grand-mother was not seen at the end.

    Did she feel guilty I wonder for her great-grandaughter taking her digoxen?

  • answer for number 1 is that it is a medication that strengthons the contraction of the heart muscle, slows the heart rate and helps elemate fluid from body tissues. It is often used to treat congestive heart failure

  • It's also used for atrial fibrillation. It has real nasty side effects if you od on it. I've seen a patient od on it once in the field and I really don't want to see it again.

  • what do you mean by "in the field" are you like a paramedic?

  • Yeah

  • OMG, that is a scary one...

  • that was scary! Thanks a whole bunch BeatleMoe for taking the time to upload these for us!
