02:44These are our gloves, ma'am.
02:46These are our sutures.
02:47And then we have our giglisos.
02:50And then bone cutters for those who were shot in the hand.
02:54Oh my God, bone cutters.
02:55And we noticed that they also have eggs.
03:00Doc, why are there eggs in the preparation?
03:04Usually, when patients with firecrackers die, we give them eggs to avoid further poisoning.

03:32What's prohibited is selling them online.
03:36We know that the government doesn't have an inspection.
03:39It's not like a physical inspection.
03:41Transportation, of course, without security.
03:46That's what's prohibited.
