Yep. As a nurse and former EMT I’m floored at times at how the job is portrayed. Active shooter? Uh we’re staging here until the cops clear that, I’m not hostage negotiation and I am not running into that building. Field surgery? If it had the word SURGERY anywhere in it I’m leaving it or a surgeon because that’s what their job is. I am not driving spikes into a hemo/pneumothorax, doing a field cricothyrotomy, sticking tweezers or forceps into a gushing artery or intubating a conscious, breathing child. If these writers are part of the strike they can keep on striking.
"Y'know if you ever have to ask your partner to hold down the shoulders of the victim while you dig an airway device into their thigh, you might wanna reevaluate what's happening." I'M DEAD
(Same patient and symptoms in an episode of House): Dr. Cuddy: "Ok. Let's get you an epipen." House: "That's a sure way to kill him. He has and needs emergency surgery right away." *Patient collapses*
Jason I absolutely felt the same way when I saw this ridiculous stuff on 911. I am a retired critical care/ER nurse.. I even taught doctors towards the end of my career. I was curious about their medical consult for the show and wondered if he or she still had a license to practice medicine. I also stopped watching Gray's anatomy for the same reasons. The sad thing is people believe this s*** and actually think we all can do this stuff. Then they get feeling mad when they find out we can't.
I don't even have a medical training (unless a first aid class counts), but you really only need to see five minutes of that show to see that their got-to gimmick is: Find insane reasons for our actors to do crazy stuff like dropping down onto a mine field or lifting ten ton iron bars with an air bag or whatever. And yes, the people gullible enough to assume that tv-shows are realistic are the same who'll give you dirty looks when you question their tv-spawned expertise.
I mean of course every surgery resident loves to help do all our nursing duties, walking patients, starting IV’s and we of course never go into the supply closet because we never need supplies when we have patients coming in and sure have fun in the call room since our great surgery residents do all our work we won’t notice all the supply and call room hook ups. L&D nurse here and our residents do nothing except the triple board certified Doctor comes in and surgery residents take over our OB cases. Right, Never Ever have I seen that happen. I mean anesthesia might help you roll your patient back but that is about it. I mean we were a trauma center, high risk OB , level 4 NICU and if someone mentioned pregnant they would fly them to OB triage so fast your head would spin. Luckily they stabilize them first because while we are good neuro and spinal injuries aren’t our thing. Mama has to live for baby to live and at least be 24 weeks. Really Grey’s anatomy did Addison graduate medical school in her early teens because that is a lot of residency for a MFM and fetal surgeon, Neonatologist, genetics and fertility fellowships. I mean OB and MFM is 7 years fertility add another 3 years, genetics maybe 2-3 years, and the others at least another 12 or more years. That isn’t possible. Pick your poison Grey’s anatomy pick your speciality. ER that scene with the laboring patient that went intoH, DIC and died. Yeah seen it but OB main OR and ICU all involved. No one cares if we are full we will find room or make room. I always get asked where the Doctor is uh, sleeping and waiting for my call, by themself.
I’ve had one of the worst weeks of my life I’m part of a volunteer department and we just lost a very close firefighter on a neighboring department and the same night my girlfriend of two years left me this is the first time I’ve laughed since then and it feels amazing thanks dude ur a life saver
I know you posted this a year ago, I still want to tell you I'm sorry for the loss of your fellow firefighter. I lost a dear friend who was on our department, back in 2017. I miss him to this day.
Fr tho, been 2 yrs now and the internet (or at least me and possibly the prior commenters) is wondering how you’re doing now!? Also, I’m sorry for your losses
Before I always thought that 911 was a series of action packed training videos that I should incorporate into the field. But now I know the truth. Thanks Jason.
if you didn't figure that shit out on your own while watching that only after you saw him reacting and say it the right way ... i never want you to be my first helper or my EMT. Just ... bring me to the hospital and don't touch me xD
Heck, I'd love to see Jason just go over doing the ePCR. There's just so many conditions not listed for chief complaints, history, and primary impressions.
"So, you have a TV show for me?" "Yes sir I do! You know what's wrong with most medical procedural shows today?" "No, I primarily produce movies so I don't watch too much TV." "They're boring, sir!" "Oh are they?" "Yes sir, so I thought I'd change that and make a medical procedural show that's exciting!" "But aren't most medical procedures pretty boring to begin with?" "Yes, sir, but that's why this new show is going to follow some EMTs while they do exciting life saving stuff around the city!" "Sounds exciting!" "I know!" "So, tell me about this thing." "Well, sir, we're going to follow a super hot female EMT who is always talking like people's lives depend on her every decision." "Well, aren't people's lives depending on her every decision?" "Yes, that's why she talks that way. Al the time." "Wait, when you say all the time you mean..." "Yes sir, even when she doesn't need to, like when she orders Starbucks, she's like, 'I need a grande frappe with coconut shavings and extra expresso, stat!'" "Oh very exciting! What else does she do?" "Well, whenever she has to choose between two procedures, one that will definitely save someone's life or one that might kill them but looks better on screen, she goes for the second choice." "But you said that one might kill the patient. Wouldn't it be better if she chose the one most likely to save them? Isn't that her job?" "Oh whoops." "Whoopsie!" "But the riskier one will still look better on camera." "I suppose but won't real EMTs watch it and be like, 'That's not how that works! You would kill a person doing that!'" "That doesn't matter." "Why not?" "Because it wouldn't be as exciting." "But..." "More people will watch it if it's more exciting, and that means more money." "Oh I do like money." "And the dangerous, exciting choices she makes will make you MORE money!" "Oh dangerous, exciting choices are TIGHT! So how does she figure out which is the more exciting and dangerous choice? It must be hard to do that all the time." "Actually, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience." "Oh really?" "Yea, she just looks at all of the supplies she has in her very well stocked and organized ambulance then goes with the option that she has nothing on hand for." "Wait, she has a fully stocked ambulance and doesn't use any of the equipment in it? Why not?" "Sir, I'm going to need you to get allll of the way off my back about that." "Oh, let me get off that thing then. So, what does she do instead of using her own stuff?" "She's going to order random people and bystanders to go get her things she needs." "Right, the things that she doesn't have in her ambulance." "Exactly." "So, like what?" "Like alcohol, saline and a scalpel." "She doesn't have those things in her ambulance?" "No sir, she doesn't." "Aren't those things she should have in her ambulance?" "I still need you to get alll the way off my back about that." "But why didn't she bring those things with her?" "Because the show wouldn't be as exciting." "That works." "So you think showing an EMT doing risky and dangerous procedures is going to be okay with real EMTs?" "I mean, maybe..." *cut to a screenshot of this video*
Jesus jumped-up Christ on a chariot driven sidecar. I do ambulance billing for a living. The thought of the PCRs for those calls, and trying to bill insurance for them, makes me want to drink at my desk.

One of my fellow volleys was a lawyer as his regular job...he worked personal injury and med mal cases. Boy he had some insane "stupid EMS tricks" stories. Used them to train the rest of us in what not to do. Of course if you paid attention in school, you wouldn't need that lesson.

@@averin1745 true, never blame an actor for playing in a bad movie unless they contributed to the poor quality. They are people, they live lives, and this is their job. They do what's best for them.
@@JordonBeal I mean, yeah, but he's not wrong. Kinda weird that DiCaprio is regarded as an authority on climate science when he has zero credentials. I appreciate advocacy... but I really dislike how we give "honorary" pedigrees to celebrities.
This show reminds me of what happens when someone spends all of their time reading books without actually doing hands on stuff. I used to be a nuclear reactor operator and the only people who talk like this were the students/baby operators who didn't know anything about the job. They just new technical terms and definitions but didn't actually understand jack about what they were doing, because they've never done it before. I feel like hollywood is suffering from this. A lot of writers are demonstrating that they "know" a lot about something that they have never done themselves, and this show is the result.
I watch this show (9-1-1) when I’m feeling low. It never ceases to crack me up. The first episode I watched I was like 🤔this is weird, must be the Halloween episode..... .... nope, every episode after it was the same😂.
Yes, I've had to take a hiatus from most TV because of these ridiculous shows. I just scream at the TV and tell them what idiots they are and how they're doing everything wrong. TV is supposed to be relaxing, not stressful...
I’m so glad You noticed the Magill’s forceps as well . I even had to google it to see if Americans use them in a different way than we do just to check if I was losing the plot
@@LC128 Well, I do enjoy the odd american "super hero" show, it's kinda my guilty pleasure. Because if the americans know how to do anything, then it's drama. You just gotta remember that these shows portray real american paramedics about as accurate as James Bond portrays the real MI6... :D
QemeH you should sarcastic as I am I think our dramas are worse band form watching casualty and holby city claim to Fame. I have been the only real ambulance crew on the holby city set
@@LC128 Honestly, I had never heard of a TV program called _Holby City_ before, but reading the wiki entry it does not seem attractive to me. But we have unrealistic police/EMS/hospital/whatever shows here on german TV as well and they are just as dumb as those american shows. I wasn't bashing the shows - on the contrary the americans make them at least fun to watch, even if still highly unrealistic.
I so totally agree! It makes me sick because the reality is these type of procedures are no where NEAR within the scope of First Responders. They are not taught these type of interventions because it is beyond their skill set, not safe in the field, and never performed outside a hospital. First Responders are AMAZING and I am in awe of them every single day. This type of show is an insult to the nth degree to what our first responders really do. They are strong, fearless, and as a citizen and practitioner I am so grateful for them every single day. C Mapes APRN CNP FNP BC
My wife and I have been watching the two 9-1-1's and she laughs at me while we watch them. Don't get me wrong I still watch the whole episode everytime. Its probably similar to the military veterans watching war movies.
Same goes for lawyers and those courtroom shows where the lawyer solves the mystery. My mom’s law school teacher stood in front of the class and bluntly told them “I don’t care how many times it happens on Perry Mason. It will NOT happen in your trials.”.
I really like to look at ads that are around base because the civilians in charge of making them never know what they're doing, so they look incredibly unprofessional. Like seeing somebody try to pass off as a cop by dressing as a stripper cop
My dad was in the military for many years and I can confirm that he rightfully ripped a new one to the combat in literally every action movie ever since I can remember. Be it laughing how star wars troopers never use cover or landmines that go click before going off there's always something. FDC absolutely has the same kind of energy.
I took an EMR class back in high school and about 90 percent of students did better, in our mock disaster, than these guys did... I was in the 10 percent... BUT EVERYONE ELSE DID BETTER!
What happened to the good ol days like Emergency, where everything was solved by a little O2 and calling Rampart for instructions. Man I would love to ride in one of these Hollywood departments though, I mean, cmon! A trauma call every 5 minutes?! Sounds like a good time to me! And on top of that this video makes a good point, you can do fuck all whatever you want! Im in.
Or just how about something a little more realistic? Every professional is going to shred it no matter what- but at least get in the ballpark. Always loved the white caddy ambulance- bring that back. 50 calls a day? If it means nurse ratchet at the end of every call- sign me up!
"where everything was solved by a little O2 and calling Rampart for instructions" Mfw in EMT-B class that was unironically the best solution to a lot of hypothetical cases. Not all of em, but the instructor did say that O2 is great for anyone that needs it, and if something's outta your scope or you're unsure, call it in to Medical first. So in comparison, Emergency kinda seems well-researched haha, even if it's not
@Fire Department Chronicles. Dang Jason I first watched this on my phone and then had to watch this on my TV just to truly appreciate your editing and humor. Your use of props, your facial expressions, and your delivery are great. Hope you and your family stay safe and well 🙏 Have a happy Father's Day.
I heard it for the first time the other day, "If there is a Doctor aboard, please make yourself known to the cabin crew." I jumped into action, rushing foward and kneeling next to the patient. They were turning blue, trying in vain to draw breath, but I knew just what to do! Instructing the flight attendant to get hot water, towels, and a sharp knife, I performed an emergency tracheotomy. The patient died, but man, what a thrill. I'm even considering getting into medicine. :-P
I mean it depends on where it is as sometimes well aimed direct pressure is better long term but sometimes a tourniquet can’t be avoided and for a femoral artery bleed as shown a tourniquet is the go to since you don’t have time/blood to waste trying something in the hopes it works you have to stop it and a tourniquet (or a few) will do that
zoeyl4d93 Have watched it, sadly it’s not. If it was a comedy it would be great. Sadly the public actually thinks this is what happens. Eighteen years as a paramedic I hope gives me some credibility
I’ve had bystanders say “that’s not how they did it on tv” to me while working a code because pd wouldn’t secure the scene, god i hate first responder tv shows
These videos are great! I love 911, 911 Lone Star, and The Good Doctor, but I know they're just Hollywood shows and it's not the real deal. My brother was a volunteer firefighter in high school and now he's a police officer for about 10 years. I am proud of him. I work in the mental health field, mostly with children with autism for about 10 years as well and though The Good Doctor does a good job showing someone with autism, the medical stuff is a bit ~ify..... Anyways thanks for doing what you do!!
Forget the horrible decisions made by any of them...but imagine the medic attempting to save your life looked and acted as clueless and unsure as that actress does? That dead inquisitive glare she has - she looks like she really showed up to harvest your soul. Gave me shivers.
True story: Paramedic removing a deceased person from a house, started singing Queen, Another One Bites The Dust as they wheeled the stretcher down the path which was overheard by a family member. She got fired.
EMT-B on an engine, but he is actively enrolled in paramedic school so the following scenario is fine. Dispatched to a gangland shooting. Administers IV Narcan, establishes IO, intubated patient, does a needle decompression, and gives buccal oral glucose. Later performs an emergency pericardiocentesis while a MEDEVAC Chinook is flying at over 180 mph. Somehow keeps his job
I have soooooo many questions... 1) IO if you already have IV? 2) Narcan on a shooting victim?!? 3) *Glucose* is the main priority here? And then he's giving it orally?!? 4) *OPEN FUCKING HEART SURGERY* by an EMT-B? In a Medivac? That is a Chinook? That can go 180 mph?!? Never mind if he keeps his job - what stuff do these writers smoke and where can I get it?
I just started watching the show and as someone not from the field I enjoy the part they rescue almost every victim no matter what. Just wanted to say thank you for your content as it’s hilarious!!!!
I know in the first episode of the lone star 911, the first responders decided to detain/arrest a racist woman for falsely calling 911 on a Hispanic neighbor. That’s very quickly a false imprisonment and a battery charge.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 I honestly don't know what any of that means. All I know is that from my training to get my EMT cert, even if you're in a firetruck, you are not allowed to detain or keep people against their will. It goes against patients rights. They could easily take us to court and win against us for false imprisonment and battery charges.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Even if they did commit a crime, we still can't keep them in the truck unless they are a patient and they are not A&O x4. Fire and Emts do not enforce the law. If keep someone against their will, whether a patient or not, and they are A&O x4, it is false imprisonment. It is made clear and simple. for battery, you could easily charge me for battery just for touching you without your consent. It's battery if we try and treat someone without their consent or force them in our care without their consent, and it's false imprisonment if we try to literally keep someone in our ambulance or fire truck without their consent.
This channel has really quickly become one of my favourites.. Literally belly laughing at every video, and realising how vapid these shows are on common sense!
I think the show that has the best representation of fire department personnel is rescue 911because it's a reenactment not something made up on the fly.
My favorite case of obvious out of scope action is in the FIRST episode of Chicago Fire when Dawson stops the ambulance mid transport to performs a pericardiocentesis on a child she thinks has cardiac tamponade when they were 5 minutes away from the hospital. The dr at the hospital even says she went too deep and punctured the heart! She claims it’s ok cause she learned how to do the procedure in pre med classes. First of all, I’m pretty sure you don’t learn that in pre med but in actual med school, and second that doesn’t mean it’s now in your paramedic scope of practice just cause you know it! And worse of all when she went under review she kept her license and DIDN’T GET FIRED!
A buddy of mine told me they had a kid who had something fall on him, his leg only held on by a small piece of skin. The easiest way to extract him would have been to snip that and carry him out. But that would technically be an amputation and they aren't authorized.
Some of this gives me flashbacks to registry. You have this and three people licensed at your level to help you. Yea registry prepared me for nothing other than how to multitask and wish I had the people
I like in the movie "The Heat" with Sandra Bullock where Sandra's character tries to rescue a choking victim by performing an emergency tracheotomy with a steak knife and a straw, only for her to mess up and he starts squirting blood everywhere. Actual EMS arrive and save the man's life, and the one medic says, "Next time, just reach into their mouth and pull out the piece of pancake."
When my brother was an EMT back when medical dramas like Grey's was all the rage, they'd watch it back at the office and point out all the ways patients would die.
Im no medical professional, but i do remember the saying that comes with tourniquets. HIGH AND TIGHT! Not directly on the wound, sloppily slapped on as to not wrinkle the victim's clothes.
I can't believe that this isn't common knowledge like everything that you said your is common sense to me and I totally understand. Every video I see you makes me more thankful for you
Why did they try to intubate a CONSCIOUS patient, but not only a CONSCIOUS patient, a CONSCIOUS KID patient.
Yes!!
Because the kids got to learn it’s a tough world out there, you won’t always have “anesthesia” or “morphine” or “medics who know how to do their job”
Calculating paediatric RSI drug doses is HARD... if it doubt, kids go without... :)
She was off duty and her MDI she brought the kid wasn’t working....so...intubate to save his life and then extubate all off duty!!!
Because she is kind of stupid (not kind of, she’s actually an idiot)
This show is basically:
Regular First Responders: “Oh he just needs a bandage”
9-1-1: “we need the most extreme and unnecessary option now!”
Hey, at least they've got an elven princess with them. She can heal anything they screw up with magic glowy water.
"oh he hurt his foot"
"WE NEED TO CRACK HIS CHEST AND MASSAGE THE HEART"
Patient: "i hurt my pinkeye"
That paramedic:"field blood transfusioun, field brain surgery and amputation of all limbs it is"
First responder: ma’am you need to calm down you’re okay you are in pain nothing life serious, it’s called a panic attack that’s why it’s so hard to breathe.
9-1-1: WE NEED A PHLEBOTOMY WHY CANT SHE BREATHE
Patient: Trips on a pebble.
9-1-1 Paramedic: “Alright, Jim get me the amputation kit. Tim get me the scalpel. Rookie! Get over here and amputate his other leg! Joshua, inform dispatch we need an ambulance but it tell them we don’t need to right now so they can come when the patient is about to die.”
Another fun game? "If it was the real world, is your patient already dead or did you just kill him?"
More like, "How to your kill patient."
lmao
"How to torture your patient before their inevitable death"
"how does It cost to flee the country and illegally opperate as EMT in another one?"

Jason I absolutely felt the same way when I saw this ridiculous stuff on 911. I am a retired critical care/ER nurse.. I even taught doctors towards the end of my career. I was curious about their medical consult for the show and wondered if he or she still had a license to practice medicine. I also stopped watching Gray's anatomy for the same reasons. The sad thing is people believe this s*** and actually think we all can do this stuff. Then they get feeling mad when they find out we can't.
How much of the things they show would you say is bullshit or inaccurate. Like 30% or closer 50%?
@@llacius2391 about 90% BS (former trauma nurse, current NP)
@@llacius2391 about as accurate as the news is to real life. Slightly more accurate than a social science paper.
I don't even have a medical training (unless a first aid class counts), but you really only need to see five minutes of that show to see that their got-to gimmick is:
Find insane reasons for our actors to do crazy stuff like dropping down onto a mine field or lifting ten ton iron bars with an air bag or whatever.
And yes, the people gullible enough to assume that tv-shows are realistic are the same who'll give you dirty looks when you question their tv-spawned expertise.
I mean of course every surgery resident loves to help do all our nursing duties, walking patients, starting IV’s and we of course never go into the supply closet because we never need supplies when we have patients coming in and sure have fun in the call room since our great surgery residents do all our work we won’t notice all the supply and call room hook ups. L&D nurse here and our residents do nothing except the triple board certified Doctor comes in and surgery residents take over our OB cases. Right, Never Ever have I seen that happen. I mean anesthesia might help you roll your patient back but that is about it. I mean we were a trauma center, high risk OB , level 4 NICU and if someone mentioned pregnant they would fly them to OB triage so fast your head would spin. Luckily they stabilize them first because while we are good neuro and spinal injuries aren’t our thing. Mama has to live for baby to live and at least be 24 weeks. Really Grey’s anatomy did Addison graduate medical school in her early teens because that is a lot of residency for a MFM and fetal surgeon, Neonatologist, genetics and fertility fellowships. I mean OB and MFM is 7 years fertility add another 3 years, genetics maybe 2-3 years, and the others at least another 12 or more years. That isn’t possible. Pick your poison Grey’s anatomy pick your speciality. ER that scene with the laboring patient that went intoH, DIC and died. Yeah seen it but OB main OR and ICU all involved. No one cares if we are full we will find room or make room. I always get asked where the Doctor is uh, sleeping and waiting for my call, by themself.
The step to insult the patient and see if he still wants to live had me dying 💀 🤣
I’ve had one of the worst weeks of my life I’m part of a volunteer department and we just lost a very close firefighter on a neighboring department and the same night my girlfriend of two years left me this is the first time I’ve laughed since then and it feels amazing thanks dude ur a life saver

I know you posted this a year ago, I still want to tell you I'm sorry for the loss of your fellow firefighter. I lost a dear friend who was on our department, back in 2017. I miss him to this day.

"So, you have a TV show for me?"
"Yes sir I do! You know what's wrong with most medical procedural shows today?"
"No, I primarily produce movies so I don't watch too much TV."
"They're boring, sir!"
"Oh are they?"
"Yes sir, so I thought I'd change that and make a medical procedural show that's exciting!"
"But aren't most medical procedures pretty boring to begin with?"
"Yes, sir, but that's why this new show is going to follow some EMTs while they do exciting life saving stuff around the city!"
"Sounds exciting!"
"I know!"
"So, tell me about this thing."
"Well, sir, we're going to follow a super hot female EMT who is always talking like people's lives depend on her every decision."
"Well, aren't people's lives depending on her every decision?"
"Yes, that's why she talks that way. Al the time."
"Wait, when you say all the time you mean..."
"Yes sir, even when she doesn't need to, like when she orders Starbucks, she's like, 'I need a grande frappe with coconut shavings and extra expresso, stat!'"
"Oh very exciting! What else does she do?"
"Well, whenever she has to choose between two procedures, one that will definitely save someone's life or one that might kill them but looks better on screen, she goes for the second choice."
"But you said that one might kill the patient. Wouldn't it be better if she chose the one most likely to save them? Isn't that her job?"
"Oh whoops."
"Whoopsie!"
"But the riskier one will still look better on camera."
"I suppose but won't real EMTs watch it and be like, 'That's not how that works! You would kill a person doing that!'"
"That doesn't matter."
"Why not?"
"Because it wouldn't be as exciting."
"But..."
"More people will watch it if it's more exciting, and that means more money."
"Oh I do like money."
"And the dangerous, exciting choices she makes will make you MORE money!"
"Oh dangerous, exciting choices are TIGHT! So how does she figure out which is the more exciting and dangerous choice? It must be hard to do that all the time."
"Actually, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
"Oh really?"
"Yea, she just looks at all of the supplies she has in her very well stocked and organized ambulance then goes with the option that she has nothing on hand for."
"Wait, she has a fully stocked ambulance and doesn't use any of the equipment in it? Why not?"
"Sir, I'm going to need you to get allll of the way off my back about that."
"Oh, let me get off that thing then. So, what does she do instead of using her own stuff?"
"She's going to order random people and bystanders to go get her things she needs."
"Right, the things that she doesn't have in her ambulance."
"Exactly."
"So, like what?"
"Like alcohol, saline and a scalpel."
"She doesn't have those things in her ambulance?"
"No sir, she doesn't."
"Aren't those things she should have in her ambulance?"
"I still need you to get alll the way off my back about that."
"But why didn't she bring those things with her?"
"Because the show wouldn't be as exciting."
"That works."
"So you think showing an EMT doing risky and dangerous procedures is going to be okay with real EMTs?"
"I mean, maybe..."

This show reminds me of what happens when someone spends all of their time reading books without actually doing hands on stuff.
I used to be a nuclear reactor operator and the only people who talk like this were the students/baby operators who didn't know anything about the job.
They just new technical terms and definitions but didn't actually understand jack about what they were doing, because they've never done it before.
I feel like hollywood is suffering from this. A lot of writers are demonstrating that they "know" a lot about something that they have never done themselves, and this show is the result.

But we have unrealistic police/EMS/hospital/whatever shows here on german TV as well and they are just as dumb as those american shows. I wasn't bashing the shows - on the contrary the americans make them at least fun to watch, even if still highly unrealistic.
I so totally agree! It makes me sick because the reality is these type of procedures are no where NEAR within the scope of First Responders. They are not taught these type of interventions because it is beyond their skill set, not safe in the field, and never performed outside a hospital. First Responders are AMAZING and I am in awe of them every single day. This type of show is an insult to the nth degree to what our first responders really do. They are strong, fearless, and as a citizen and practitioner I am so grateful for them every single day. C Mapes APRN CNP FNP BC
I am a nurse and worked in ER and theatres. I always have a good laugh when I watch these emergency/EMT dramas.
My wife and I have been watching the two 9-1-1's and she laughs at me while we watch them. Don't get me wrong I still watch the whole episode everytime. Its probably similar to the military veterans watching war movies.
Self flagelation
I can't, I walk away!
Same goes for lawyers and those courtroom shows where the lawyer solves the mystery. My mom’s law school teacher stood in front of the class and bluntly told them “I don’t care how many times it happens on Perry Mason. It will NOT happen in your trials.”.
I really like to look at ads that are around base because the civilians in charge of making them never know what they're doing, so they look incredibly unprofessional. Like seeing somebody try to pass off as a cop by dressing as a stripper cop

I took an EMR class back in high school and about 90 percent of students did better, in our mock disaster, than these guys did... I was in the 10 percent... BUT EVERYONE ELSE DID BETTER!
What did you do that was as bad as these guys??
What happened to the good ol days like Emergency, where everything was solved by a little O2 and calling Rampart for instructions. Man I would love to ride in one of these Hollywood departments though, I mean, cmon! A trauma call every 5 minutes?! Sounds like a good time to me! And on top of that this video makes a good point, you can do fuck all whatever you want! Im in.
What are you, nuts?! Sounds exhausting! Burnout before your career is even 100 days old LOL!
Or just how about something a little more realistic? Every professional is going to shred it no matter what- but at least get in the ballpark. Always loved the white caddy ambulance- bring that back. 50 calls a day? If it means nurse ratchet at the end of every call- sign me up!
O2, Lactated Ringers, and D5W TKO.
"where everything was solved by a little O2 and calling Rampart for instructions"
Mfw in EMT-B class that was unironically the best solution to a lot of hypothetical cases. Not all of em, but the instructor did say that O2 is great for anyone that needs it, and if something's outta your scope or you're unsure, call it in to Medical first.
So in comparison, Emergency kinda seems well-researched haha, even if it's not

I heard it for the first time the other day, "If there is a Doctor aboard, please make yourself known to the cabin crew."
I jumped into action, rushing foward and kneeling next to the patient. They were turning blue, trying in vain to draw breath, but I knew just what to do! Instructing the flight attendant to get hot water, towels, and a sharp knife, I performed an emergency tracheotomy.
The patient died, but man, what a thrill. I'm even considering getting into medicine. :-P
This guy is so underrated 😂😂
Going by the first scene you showed, I just assumed this was a comedy show like Reno 911. But apparently not... just wow.
Discovered you yesterday, cant stop binge watching your vids. Haven't laughed like this in a while. Great job, great timing, good stuff all around!
Oh my god why wouldn't anyone's first thought when they see a patient losing blood be to use a tourniquet!
I mean it depends on where it is as sometimes well aimed direct pressure is better long term but sometimes a tourniquet can’t be avoided and for a femoral artery bleed as shown a tourniquet is the go to since you don’t have time/blood to waste trying something in the hopes it works you have to stop it and a tourniquet (or a few) will do that
I love it. Watched some of those same scenes. Was downright embarrassed. May any technical advisors connected with this show be shot at dawn
Are ya sure that show is not a parody?
zoeyl4d93 Have watched it, sadly it’s not. If it was a comedy it would be great. Sadly the public actually thinks this is what happens. Eighteen years as a paramedic I hope gives me some credibility

EMT-B on an engine, but he is actively enrolled in paramedic school so the following scenario is fine.
Dispatched to a gangland shooting. Administers IV Narcan, establishes IO, intubated patient, does a needle decompression, and gives buccal oral glucose. Later performs an emergency pericardiocentesis while a MEDEVAC Chinook is flying at over 180 mph.
Somehow keeps his job
I have soooooo many questions...
1) IO if you already have IV?
2) Narcan on a shooting victim?!?
3) *Glucose* is the main priority here? And then he's giving it orally?!?
4) *OPEN FUCKING HEART SURGERY* by an EMT-B? In a Medivac? That is a Chinook? That can go 180 mph?!?
Never mind if he keeps his job - what stuff do these writers smoke and where can I get it?
Not only keeps his job but will most likely get some praise for his “ingenuity” after a slight reprimand
The 3 dislikes on this video are the ones who lost their jobs by doing such things mentioned
I just started watching the show and as someone not from the field I enjoy the part they rescue almost every victim no matter what. Just wanted to say thank you for your content as it’s hilarious!!!!
How about the one where they used the fire hose to stop a criminal from getting away.
I know in the first episode of the lone star 911, the first responders decided to detain/arrest a racist woman for falsely calling 911 on a Hispanic neighbor. That’s very quickly a false imprisonment and a battery charge.
Can I get a "not my job" please?
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 I honestly don't know what any of that means. All I know is that from my training to get my EMT cert, even if you're in a firetruck, you are not allowed to detain or keep people against their will. It goes against patients rights. They could easily take us to court and win against us for false imprisonment and battery charges.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Even if they did commit a crime, we still can't keep them in the truck unless they are a patient and they are not A&O x4. Fire and Emts do not enforce the law. If keep someone against their will, whether a patient or not, and they are A&O x4, it is false imprisonment. It is made clear and simple. for battery, you could easily charge me for battery just for touching you without your consent. It's battery if we try and treat someone without their consent or force them in our care without their consent, and it's false imprisonment if we try to literally keep someone in our ambulance or fire truck without their consent.

My favorite case of obvious out of scope action is in the FIRST episode of Chicago Fire when Dawson stops the ambulance mid transport to performs a pericardiocentesis on a child she thinks has cardiac tamponade when they were 5 minutes away from the hospital. The dr at the hospital even says she went too deep and punctured the heart! She claims it’s ok cause she learned how to do the procedure in pre med classes. First of all, I’m pretty sure you don’t learn that in pre med but in actual med school, and second that doesn’t mean it’s now in your paramedic scope of practice just cause you know it! And worse of all when she went under review she kept her license and DIDN’T GET FIRED!
if it were real she should have gone to jail for attempted murder and been sued for malpractice
Come on now, it is Liv Tyler, she can hurt me anyday! She already broke my heart.
Oh yes, Liv Tyler...mmmmm
They had a magill in his thigh? I'm dead.
Your video shorts have made me laugh out loud for months and with this video...subscribed. I'm still gonna watch Chicago Fire. 🤣🤣
A buddy of mine told me they had a kid who had something fall on him, his leg only held on by a small piece of skin. The easiest way to extract him would have been to snip that and carry him out. But that would technically be an amputation and they aren't authorized.
Some of this gives me flashbacks to registry. You have this and three people licensed at your level to help you. Yea registry prepared me for nothing other than how to multitask and wish I had the people
O M G, This is sooooooo hilarious! Definitely going to share!👍
I like in the movie "The Heat" with Sandra Bullock where Sandra's character tries to rescue a choking victim by performing an emergency tracheotomy with a steak knife and a straw, only for her to mess up and he starts squirting blood everywhere. Actual EMS arrive and save the man's life, and the one medic says, "Next time, just reach into their mouth and pull out the piece of pancake."
When my brother was an EMT back when medical dramas like Grey's was all the rage, they'd watch it back at the office and point out all the ways patients would die.
I WANT MOREEEE OF THESE
I love your videos! Longer videos would be cool!
Im no medical professional, but i do remember the saying that comes with tourniquets. HIGH AND TIGHT! Not directly on the wound, sloppily slapped on as to not wrinkle the victim's clothes.
LOVE THIS! My mom and sister were nurses. This is pretty much like watching TV growing up...except fire fighter/EMT version. Feels like home
Why did YOU have a Joe Biden ad?
It’s likely for the added comedy factor
My ad was from the Olight store showcasing their new Odin light.

The whole time all I could think was get the lube they are going to need it for doing that.😄
