Dr. G examines the real medical story behind Hugh Glass’s bear mauling as depicted in The Revenant, explaining the mechanisms of his injuries, the high risk of infection, and the physiology of shock and healing. The episode explores how primitive wound care, natural debridement (including maggots), cold exposure, and sheer resilience allowed Glass to survive massive trauma and crawl back to safety, illustrating lessons in trauma science, microbiology, and wilderness medicine.
