- A team of medics decide the best way of managing 17-year old Lewis’s head trauma is to induce a coma. The procedure is proven to improve his chances but it is also very dangerous, as it requires a very specific measure of drugs and for the medics to become responsible for his breathing.

He survived ! I looked his name on the internet and it says that he suffered from a traumatic head injury, a fractured neck and skull, a lacerated liver, a shattered pelvis (in 5 places), a broken arm (in 2 places) and a dislodged and bursted bladder. He spent 7 weeks in the hospital and had 2 major operations. He will have more surgeries and might have to wait until 2 more years for his brain is fully heal. The doctor that helped him said that he had only 35% chance of surviving. It's a miracle.
Wow thank you for commenting this i really wanted to know how he did, amazing he survived!!
Remarkable
Thanks for the comment , I wish him well , strong kid.
Wow! Thanks for putting this here!
Yeah he recently attended the air ambulance base to thank them for saving his life 🙌🏻
I like how this doctor is very calm and collected
That’s their job
Wouldn't make a good doctor if he wasn't would he lol
@@dihydrogenmonoxide7600 Yeah I'm implying that he is very professional.
Yes I agree because he doesn't make the family panic so he is great
@@RussianPenguin you are right
The dad looks so distraught when the paramedic is talking to him, i feel so bad for all of the family, seeing someone they love in that state, especially when hes so young
The grandfather was crying so hard. Poor family💔
@adolf hitler hardeehar your name is Hitler and you don't feel bad for a kid that almost died, you really showed us. You're Such a little badass.
What kind of parent lets their 17 year old kid ride a motorbike? They are unsafe even in experienced and mature hands nevermind a teenager. Why do you think car insurance is so high for teen drivers? Very irresponsible parents.
The doc is such a great team leader. A calm and well-composed headman is imperative when providing emergency treatment because the same level of stability transpires throughout the team and their best work is done. Great job and thanks for sharing this with us!
Edit: I hope the kid pulls through.
Telling the team what they're going to do while still being open to the input of others. Inspiring!
We have a doctor at our veterinary practice who is like that. Calm and precise during the chaos and it helps his team manage the emergency much better. He handles emergencies and emergency surgeries well
Dr. Chris is so calming and his bedside manner is admirable. We need more doctors like him.
And this kids, is why you always wear all your gear. Without that helmet he'd be dead on the spot.
Absolutely
Exactly
Totally.
factual
Indubitably.
I do this on a daily basis (pediatric critical care physician) and I have to say this team's performance is world-class. Staying calm and going through check-lists saves lives. The only difference I noticed is we tend to not use ketamine for induction of anesthesia in traumatic brain injury due to its potential of increasing intracranial pressure (pressure in the brain), though the data behind this is not great.
And yet here in Australia we use Ketamine as an induction for analgesia. It's also indicated for severe pain after morphine or fentanyl, burns severe pain from burns, and acute behavioural disturbances unresponsive to droperidol. For analgesia it's contraindicated if under 1 year old, GSC12 or less, uncontrolled hypertension, known hydrocephalus or raised intra-ocular pressure and suspected ACS. That's an abridged version.
@@doncoleman4938 those some big words that i’ve never heard 🥴
@@victorlemus711 I used to put cheat cards of every drug on the fridge door or in the toilet, so I eventually would learn everything about them off by heart. That included drugs I wasn't even authorised to administer. Just good to know when and when not to use one.
Everybody does everything a little different. Etomidate and Rocuronium would prob be the RSI agents used in my area for this case(Midwest, US).
@@doncoleman4938 at med school, I came up with asking for a room at a Spanish hotel: Can you etomidate (accomodate) me propofol (por favor).
As a motorcycle rider myself this is one of my greatest fears. I would like to ask all drivers, cars especially, to be extremely careful at junctions and keep an eye out for motorcyclists. We are not always seen, as most drivers are looking for cars before they make a turn and just one error can end a motorcyclists life. We are basically human bodies propelled with very little protection and our chances or surviving impacts like this are usually quite slim. I'd also like to ask my fellow riders to regulate your speed in general but especially as you approach a junction and stay very aware of your surroundings. Ride defensively and safely but still enjoy the pleasure of being on a motorcycle. It's the only way, anything else is just pure luck or lack off. Thanks.
@adolf hitler Somebody get they mans
The trick is to think everyone is a terrible driver and plan accordingly. Also, a blip on your horn is extremely valuable on country roads where you can see a car but they can't see you. Horn is not there to be angry after an incident happens, but used to prevent an accident from even occurring. Saved me a few times.
@adolf hitler u know ur being very disrespectful. If these things happened in ur life u wouldn’t want ppl to talk to you like that.
@@bff_scar9539 he’s just a lonely troll. he’s trying really hard, obviously
@@ta13oo76 probably just a kid, judging from how he misspelled Pewdiepie.
Disgusting behaviour and profile nevertheless
Doctor and all of the rescue team were professional, efficient and quick to act. Great job!
I have a huge amount of respect for these people, on the front line dealing with injuries and death day in day out takes a lot
The lead doctor..wow just like a walk in the park for him, absolutely amazing people..these are the hero's in life..poor lad, what an awful accident he had..
Similar injuries as my son when he was in a horrific car accident. I lost my boy...to see that this boy survived was a eye opener. I am so happy for his family. He is a miracle! 😊
Sorry about your loss.
Hope the poor kid made it out okay... Poor family is devastated.
Annoys me how they cut off the result hope he survived.
He was given a 1/3 chance of surviving and I can confirm he survived!
From another comment:
"He’s stated he will never ride a motorcycle again due to other drivers so he’s changed hobbies to rock/mountain climbing with his step-dad.
He suffers from extreme anxiety and fatigue but it’s getting better. "
Sobbed like a baby watching this, especially after seeing his grandpa cry. I’m so glad he ended up surviving!
Amazing doctor! Calm, competent and good with people.
I wish we had Doctors like this in Florida.
Now this is what I call a calm collected doctor this crew was excellent I am a nurse and been in situations and never seen such a calm collected situation well done thumbs up to this crew you guys are great!!!
Thats the Doctor you prey turns up when you need them.
No doubts, , clear and focused confident decision making, one boss, one focus.
If only we had more leadership like that in the NHS.
There is more leadership like that in the NHS, you just don’t see it on a tv show!
I would like to work with Dr Chris, that kind of Dr is admirable, focus, calm, quick thinking and decision and professional. He well explained everything to the family and that makes everyone calm. Godbless you guys
Being given information is the best thing to keep people calm in situations like this.
Lack of information just makes people think of all worst case scenarios, and ultimately panic.
These videos and a lot others have really given me great motivation to become a paramedic and I hope to be on a helicopter doing what these guys are doing so well
Its the best job ever! I love it, keep working !
Love the way he’s talking too the family great doctor, hope the boys okay..
I just love watching Dr Chris work so much! He is so calm, pleasant, intelligent and respectful. He is absolutely an angel and in the right place. Thank God for wonderful humans like him and all emergency staff! 💕
6:16 they shook his brain a lot getting into that ambulance
Oh God imagine being a parent seeing your child like that. Not sure if he will be okay or not.. 😥
he’s okay!
Poor parents, standing there knowing they cant do anything 😩
It’s sad to think that not all of paramedics or any sort of help whatsoever aren’t as great as others. Not everyone gets put on good hands and some kind of help aren’t always available depending when and where. Imagine. Glad this man got what he needed.
Amazing team of doctors who saved his life.
I hope he recovers well. And much love and respect to the paramedics, especially the doctor.
It is honestly so interesting and amazing watching and listening them plan out to the the team what’s happening, amazing doctors
I was involved in a car crash when I was younger and had a fractured skull with brain injury, luckily I survived and got over all problems evenually. The best thing the family can do is talk to him whilst he is in the coma, nicely and calmly. One patient next to me had her parents shouted about sueing the person who hit her and she ended up with extreme anger issues. I really really hope everything works out. It will take time, try and be patient. For the parents, try and take extra care of yourself because it's as hard on the parents as it is on the child.
I can't imagine how horrendous this must have been for his family to see.
What kind of parent lets their 17 year old kid ride a motorbike? They are unsafe even in experienced and mature hands nevermind a teenager. Why do you think car insurance is so high for teen drivers? Very irresponsible parents.
These paramedics and doctors are angels .
Really wish someone would post full episodes of this show... Not getting to find out how it went for the patients is heartbreaking.
He survived
It's on the BBC and is repeated on another channel called Really and Quest
Awesome doctor keeping everyone calm cool collective!!!! Vital to follow procedure and make sure his team follows directions correctly ...which they confirm
Well done on saving him.
Chris is an incredible doctor
My dad died after 1 month coma, now I miss him
may he rest in peace
My father also died the same way after being struck head on by a car and being coma for a bit
This team is just awesome
Bless these people.
My prayers for him n his family
He even completed thre peaks challenge I think sometime later. He also said he would never ride a bike again
Good to know the lad survived, he's the same age as me, got my license at 17 aswell (so that very year) and this sort of stuff is something that is in the back of me mind when I ride myself. Not only towards me but the thought of that happening to one of me riding mates. Especially in a crash like this where it seems like it wasn't actually his fault but a distracted driver! Ride safe lads and keep your first aid skills up sharp!
Unlike the paramedic in the East of England and London regions the doctors in the Humbers have done an amazing job. Well Done!
As this is my friend’s parents don’t let him own a bike
This is also why I won’t let my best friend get a bike
Yep. I'm decades old & my partner won't let me have one
I guess your friends parents doesn't allow him to have car either. Too dangerous.
And probably don't drink or eat either, he could die of food poisoning or choke on it. Can't risk that.
Here in Arkansas it's 1 Medic and a EMT to RSI. Dam to have help like that.
Are you in a rural location with few resources to back you up?
Can you please write the episode into the description? I don't want to search every time for the right full one...
what episode is it, trying to find it now lol
Sad and if you're a mam u can't imagine this to your baby
I lost 2 brothers from 2 different motorcycle accidents. One was the father of 3 young children who was killed by a young adult out joyriding, drinking and speeding with his friends. He got off scot-free because his uncle was the judge in the case and evidence was swept under the rug. My other brother had one child. He was turning off the autoroute and lost control of the bike and crashed in the ditch and died instantly. It's always very hard to lose a loved one in an accident.
For my brother that was murdered. It was clearly manslaughter. We all understand that kids/young adults will do stupid things. It will be something that will stay with him for the rest of his life. We didn't want him to go to jail. We would have been satisfied if his licenses were taken away for 6 months and that he apologizes to us. Which he never did and he kept his licenses. How he got off scott-free was the judge, who was also his uncle, said it was suicide. which it wasn't. There were witnesses to the accident and they all say the driver of the car was at fault. He was passing a car on a double line, on a curve. The car he was passing had to slam on her breaks because she saw what was about to happen as the car was trying to pass her and he hit my brother. The driver and his friends had come from watching car races. The police there had to stop them from bombing around the parking lot of the races and told them to leave. So they took their race to the road. Since we didn't have money, there was no way to fight the police force and judge for this injustice. The people at the accident said the car reeked of beer and the police didn't even give them a breathalyzer test to see how drunk they were....
@@Lyralope that sucks, hope you recovered from ur loss
@@urchhyy1253 Like you said, it totally sucked. It was extremely hard at first not having him around to brighten our day. My brother and I were very close and we did everything together when we were growing up. My mother took it really hard. It took her a very long time to recover. We are a big loving family and so we helped each other out. We are all fine now but we still miss him very much.
Man, I pray that this child recovered
That must be so scary 😢
I believe youtube has now matched the commercial frequency of cable tv
I love Dr. Chris
I had some alarm bells go off in my head when he drew up ketamine because I was always told that ketamine is contraindicated for RSI in head trauma due to ICP concerns, but I did some research and apparently that was debunked years ago. I don't know why we're still being taught that.
Great video keep safe
A big pat on the back for the doctor and first responders. Without them and their expertise it would have had different consequences
Best health service and paramedics in the world. heroes
Get well
I had a car accident with a traumatic head injury and fractured neck so this was incredibly hard to watch.
Im in tears when i saw him. Remind me of my late best friend, doctors unable to safe him. I wish this lad all the best. Lots of love from singapore
I love watching your videos
Great Job 👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
Any family's worst nightmare
That’s why you wear a helmet guys :/
Just imagine the outcome if he didn’t wear one
Wear ALL your gear at ALL times. Keep Modular Helmets closed when moving. Don't cheap out on gear, it's the only protection you have
my ma knew someone back then who wore his helmet but died still cause his head/brain swelled up inside of it.
I was in a bad accident. I walked away, I cant say the same about my friend, but she did survive.
Imagine being his family
When a person has a head injury, you can’t fly them more than at 1,000ft. It can really mess with the inner cranial pressure in their brain. When I was in the back of a heli with a closed head injury although I was conscious we were unaware of a small bleed I had. I was confused why we were flying so low and it made me nervous flying over all the high buildings in Tampa when I could see the building lights from the floor. When they explained why it made sense but I was like I am fine go higher so we don’t crash. Thankfully they didn’t listen to me or it could have been catastrophic to my brain.
Sad
i hate to see people hurt in accidents like that, i had a bike accident once, fell unconcous and woke up with massive pain and with no clue what was going on because all happened to fast...
But the injuries i had was just some bleeding and a concussion, so i dont even want to know what this guy felt while being picked up by the ambulance.
So sad 😭
Hate it when they dont tell you the out come
Honestly he’s lucky he’s his age his body is very resilient
Its not even just that. His survival was pure luck and skill on the paramedics part.
Great call guys. Did the patient recover? Were there any long term complications?
Poor guy
Why I'm I crying 😫😫😫 poor kid 😫
Out of curiosity I looked up where this was in relation to the nearest hospital. Catwick Lane/B1244 to Hull Royal Infirmary is 17 miles/27km. To get a helicopter that close to a hospital is quite impressive. I live in the suburbs of a major Australian city; it's about 22 miles/35km from my house to a major trauma hospital. For us to call a chopper to back us up usually we're some 50-80km from a main trauma hospital. I've worked in towns that are too far for a helicopter to fly to, and rely on fixed wing aircraft to transfer the patient. In these instances, Brits are very lucky to live in such small countries.
It's a pretty unique operation in the UK. HEMS is dispatched as a resource based on nature of the call regardless of proximity to hospital. And the helicopter, while certainly a useful tool for swiftly conveying patients to hospital, is actually more importantly used to convey the advanced care team to the patient. If you think getting HEMS at 17 miles is impressive, take a look at London's Air Ambulance. They'll go to scenes where they can actually see the hospital.
The air wing will always come in instances where a patient needs to be put into a medically induced coma and/or time by air over time by road is critical. Paramedics can’t do that, getting a trauma doctor on scene as quickly as possible in these situations is generally done by air. I’ve seen the air ambulance land in some interesting places. And we are blessed to have the Royal Flying Doctor Services to attend to patients far and wide as well.
@@virginiaviola5097 I'm sure it won't be long before British paramedics are trained in that. Australian critical care/MICA paramedics are trained to perform RSI (medically induced coma) which is a valuable skill to have readily available. RFDS in Australia are an invaluable resource. I was fortunate enough to call on them to transport patients on a weekly basis. They supply cattle stations and isolated properties with "RFDS kits" which is a box of essential emergency drugs in numbered compartments. If a farmhand for example had chest pain, the RFDS would instruct them over the radio to "take a number 3 tablet, then spray some number 7 liquid under the tongue".
@@coover65 British paramedics can perform RSI and more in prehospital care for trauma parents they are called critical care paramedics.
@@Skyrose1978 I'm not surprised. It seems British and Australian paramedics are pretty much on par with their clinical skills. I've worked with quite a few paramedics poached during the great "Australian paramedic recruitment drive in the UK". Some of our critical care paramedics are trained as High Acuity paramedics, having completed a rigorous training course based on the that used by London HEMS on their doctors.
I was knocked off of a tall ladder at work one time by an irresponsible machine operator, hit a rail on my way down, bruised some ribs, had two fractures on my spine and landed on my head, the second I hit my head I blacked out for a minute, when I woke up again I was on the floor feeling like I was dying, I couldn't move, any attempt to move made the pain worst, all I could do for the first couple of minutes was make noises, then yelling the F word, it was the worst day of my life, but nothing compared to this poor kid, I feel so bad for him, it must have been hell, the recovery must have been hell.
I wish there was a doctor like that when my brother had his accident, my brother was also 17 and the paramedics to so long to get to him and they didn't do much for him until he got to the hospital, the let him suffer , we know this because the cameras the cops have showed everything, bunch of pieces of shit people we have here, I'm glad to see there is hope for some people
Where did this happen?
Sorry, but what a shit attitude!
The time it takes the paramedics to get to the patient ist almost only decided by external factors: trafficlevels, distance, weather. Not Paramedic drives slow on purpose.
It is not okay for you to asses the job of others, you have no idea about.
If you have concerns, anything isnt right, take legal steps. Not RUclips-Comments.
Is ur brother okay?
“Ok buddy, calm down”
Meanwhile:
Dude has extremely devastating & painful injuries.
The really need to start showing footage of how these cases end up, it’s saddeneing when it’s left unanswered
Lewis recovered.
As a biker of nearly 3 years your eyes are constantly on stalks. I've crashed 3 times and luckily I've not had a collision yet. Its very easy to do on these fast roads because you create another hazard
What episode is this? Does anybody know? Am wanting to see what happened and see how he is now!
As a biker cars turning in front of me is my biggest fear. At 60mph there's not much you can do in that space of time.
K wait, WHAT ? Did you forget to finish the video ?
All I know is that if I ever found myself in such dire circumstances...I want that crew on my side.
I'd like some followup on the legal side of things. "It seems he was not at fault" - I'd like to know what the police say. I'd also like to know about the driver of the car; How are they mentally and physically? How's their legal situation? Man, so many unanswered questions with short clips like this
You can watch the full show/episodes on Discovery+ this is just clips they put out.
I downloaded the app from discovery plus I have it but the show is NOT on there I think you have to have the discovery UK version...🤷🏻♀️ or something I don't know..I'm in the US
Wheres part 2 ?
my sister's teacher died in a motorbike accident in 2010. He was a good friend of ours and his death was horrible for us. It happened only two weeks before he was going to get married to his boyfriend so it was especially sad. Since then I have sworn myself to never ride a motorbike
That’s heartbreaking :(
This is why you should always wear a helmet whilst motorcycling if he didn't have a helmet he probably would had been dead
Yes very true
Most certainly
My dad and I call the dumbasses that don't wear helmet's "organ donors" since it's almost inevitable to die at that point if you crash.
As a resident of Canada, I LOVE this channel- but, I would be remiss if I didnt share my disappointment that you do not include the conclusion on each patient. Can you offer any type of explanation?
Awesome I love it
NHS best in the world 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Those paramedics are second to none.
I just tried to find this show on discovery plus and it's not there. I tried both the app and the link in the description box. What's up with that????!!!!!!!
Could’ve shown us the Ending to see how he got on
PLEASE PUT AN UPDATE ON .
He survived
Its a good idea, using the side of the Ambulance to shade Lewis from the harmful effects of the direct sunlight it also means that the doctor and the paramedics who are assisting can do so without the risk of having their vision impaired either which obviously wouldn't be too smart given the importance of their task.
I’m so proud of our NHS staff! 💙 More money for them, and less money for the greedy politicians! 😠
What episode is this?
I think its crazy that these guys run like 2-5 shifts a month on the helicopter but they can still look out the window from 2000 feet up and be like "yeah I know where we are that's my mate's house over that way make a right turn and the accidents's gonna be a mile and a half to the northeast."
I have a 17-year-old who rides a motorbike. Sends shivers down my spine.
What kind of parent lets their 17 year old kid ride a motorbike? They are unsafe even in experienced and mature hands nevermind a teenager. Why do you think car insurance is so high for teen drivers? Very irresponsible parenting. It's not even essential for a teen to have a motorbike, utterly pointless risk.
Interesting seeing some of the medical techniques, and how they are different over US. I thought cardiac monitor lead color was universal throughout world. No c-collar, but just head blocks. That was strange.
There is a c collard on as well
@@jajusful At what point in the video? I am not seeing it
C-collar is contraindicated for severe head trauma over here as it leads to reduced venous return and thus increased intracerebral pressure.
C-collar not required in this job.
