    I Live in Melbourne. Alfred Hospital kept me going when I was in a fire. I stopped breathing and the Ambo's revived me. Thanks to the teams and thanks to Firefighters. It's hard to talk about but I'm glad I saw this episode

      Not until someone we know closely or we ourselves be in an accident that we truly understand these are heroes who save our lives and give us a good chance to regain some quality of life. I had an accident recently and first had to be rescued by multiple teams of paramedic and then needed a surgery. So, I understand also how you feel.

      The Alfred helped my former partner out when due to pneumonia he hadn't been expected to get through the night by another doctor. They really do great work all around.

    3 people I know have died in car accidents. One being my brother. Another friend of mine was severely injured. She healed but cannot have children. I’m glad she lived.

    I'm happy to see The Alfred get the praise it deserves. Living in Melbourne I'm aware that the health services offered there are world class.... I feel very lucky. I think what also needs to be recognized in relation to the decrease in road traffic accidents and trauma is an extremely well done, graphic and shocking (for a good cause) RTA advertisement campaign aimed at drivers. PS: It doesn't always rain in Melbourne.

    My mum was a nurse at The Alfred for over 20yrs, she said it was the best hospital she ever worked at. So much happiness and sadness all at once.
    Our Flight crews, Paramedics and MICA teams are wonderful. Flying at night, is dangerous yes... but lives are worth saving, everyone has the right to survival.

    @chronically.advocating 2 года назад +5

    I really do have to praise Australia for it's top-notch medical service. Both Melbourne with it's RTA specialists, and Perth with it's rare disease specialists. Some of the absolute best in the world. Keep it up guys and gals you always have my vote of confidence.

If I ever win the lottery, I want to move to Australia or the UK where they treat healthcare as a right instead of something you have to kyll for like here in the States.

    I had a car accident 25 years ago. They saved my life but now I am disabled and the pain I live with is excruciating and wish it would go away but it's just getting worse and no help from anyone or any doctor's. I just keep getting put into the to hard basket because of the multiple medical problems from the car accident and I am just going to get worse no matter what they do.

    In the 1st 10 minutes we meet a Shane and a Wayne, stereotypical names here in Australia 😅 I must admit though, I would never get a motorbike - just so many dangers if you get in an accident - you're more likely to have an accident, many times not your fault. I remember when my two brothers were getting to driving age, they both had classmates that died in car accidents.

  • @erinnfitzgerald6257
    @erinnfitzgerald6257 Год назад

    As he said (not quoting every word that was said), "in the UK hospital/rescue helicopters don't fly at night due to the risk...", whereas we Aussies do, we eat concrete for breakfast 💪😉 Seriously speaking though, I'm a mother & grandmother, if one of my darlings were severely injured but couldn't be flown to hospital by air due to it being dark (pfft 🙄) I'd make a shit ton of noise about that!! What about their air force helicopters & planes?? They fly at night for war games, drills etc but not to save the lives their countrymen?!? Our high success rate of saving lives is due in part to our helicopter paramedics getting patients to hospital asap, whether day or night, if the UK did that they'd have a higher success rate too...

    Having recently (Feb this year) had a pacemaker urgently installed at The Alfred after suffering Total Heart Block, I have nothing but praise for the place!
    But my best story about it concerns my wife, an RN..
    Some years ago now she had occasion to ring an interstate hospital to ask their HR Dept if there were any nursing positions available.
    The remainder of the conversation went like this -
    Hospital - "Where did you train"
    My Wife - "The Alfred"
    Hospital - "When can you start"
    Enough said!

      100kmh on a highway
      local speeds vary from 40 to 100
      As far as I know the max speed in Australia is 130kmh in the Northern Territory with some parts (I think) unlimited

    • @CanYouRememberWhen
      @CanYouRememberWhen 3 года назад

      I also wondered why it seemed the narrator/presenter seemed to be talking too much, camera focused on him. This is the second episode I've watched, and right in the beginning I caught the into saying he is a doctor, the series is about him traveling to different emergency rooms, comparing how they work. It's easier for me to watch now, understanding this.
