UTI’s in elderly women can go south quickly. They can develop urosepsis which can be devastating
So true, elderly women can present as if they suddenly developed advanced dementia and all along it’s a UTI, it’s as scary as it gets, I understand THIS patient seemed ok, and if she had been she wouldn’t have needed to go with the ambulance service, all I can say is if you think someone you care about has a UTI and she’s over 65, get her to the hospital ASAP for IV antibiotics.
They sure can. My mom, who is 87 years old, had one last year. I thought she was losing her mind. She was mean, cussing and saying words I've never heard her say. I was ready to leave. Took her to her primary care do and she had a massive uti. A couple shots and antibiotics and in a days time, she was mom.
My Mother had UTI's that caused hallucinations and dementia symptoms. It can go very bad very quickly.
I’m not only me that it could go up into the kidneys and you don’t wanna have your kidneys getting an infection that’s for sure. People don’t know it but the greatest two ways of getting rid of it UTI is by drinking cranberry juice or taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar two times a day drink plenty of water and it’ll take care of the UTI.
I’m a type one diabetic for 53 years on insulin and I’ve had so many UTIs and kidney infections that those my two go to remedies and either one of them works for me like a charm.
Medical care is so different between the US and Britain. I'm American, but I've lived in England. I actually had to go to an emergency room while I was living there and they were so kind to me. I have a lot of respect for them.
As an American, I had to go to our local ER. They were very kind to me here, as well. I was there for 9 hours undergoing various tests. It took a long time because the hospital was completely full. No beds. The doctor came in several times to check on me. (I was not in any critical distress...just pain from a fall.) I love the British medical system, though. They seem very kind and always patient-centered. Same with their ambulance services. You don't usually get medical people to call you "luv" and "dearie" here in the US, though... which is a shame!
As a Brit, it's always amazed me WHY americans don't stand up as one and say 'We're not going to do healthcare that way anymore' !
Scrap your medical insurance 'industry', and introduce a NATIONAL health service that will treat anyone - regardless of financial status, or social class. It just reinforces the 'I'm fine - f**k you' attitude I've witnessed over the decades !
I am here in Seattle. Been to my local ER a few times (phantom pain, IV pain meds). I have been treated well. For me, what is lacking, is the ready sense of humour and fun, and also a cultural thing here prevents warm terms like “luv”, “dear” and suchlike. Misplaced concepts of what is “appropriate” - which happens to be my least favourite word. Note my un-american spelling. I am from Cape Town originally.
Visit to GP for UTI involves sending urine for testing delaying treatment. Plus, the elderly living by themselves may not be able to get to medical care by themselves. Don’t be so critical - you may be in the same situation some day!
And then, as is also my Brother in Law and Sister have no computer or experience so they can’t sign in for anything. And with their health, they need it. So yes, sometimes you have to call an ambulance
My Mom would get UTIs in her late 80s and have vivid hallucinations. She went in an ambulance which was insisted on by the Fire Chief (paramedic boss here)
So glad to see a new episode
Seeing these elderly couples just melts my heart, hearing how they met or what they did for a living.
I went to urgent care and was told i had a "virus". A week later I was still deathly ill. Ended up in hospital from a double kidney infection a kidney abcess AND SEPSIS! I had an undiagnosed UTI! Scary scary scary stuff!!
One of my favorite shows! I wish things worked that smoothly in the US....I know it's frantic for you, but from here, it runs very well! Thank you for your service! If I am ever incapacitated in England, I hope it's at Barnsley!
I just learned something. Thank you 🎉
Low blood sugar can cause seizures.
I have had as a child and likewise my grandfather. He died from a seizure 32:49 attack. My grandchildren did show signs.
My MIL would call an ambulance for an “UTI” every couple weeks for any ailments . She preferred to be in an ER not to be alone
Why is she so lonely. Go visit her.
Awesome episode. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️🏥.
I must watch too many of these, lol, I always wonder, What will Sister Jane's hair be like in this episode? 😄
It is very important to get antibiotics right away with UTI, in the elderly it can cause confusion bc they don't always have symptoms' of pain. Then it becomes very serious, very fast.
Exactly. Thank you for mentioning this. Your comment could save someone's life. My grandmother had a UTI and ended up in the ER. My Dad had one, too. He was six weeks in hospital before they got the infection under control. For both of them, confusion was the only symptom.
@catbriggs8362 with me, I had no symptoms. I just had confusion and delirium. I fainted. It took over a week in hospital, with one day in ICU
Tyvm.
@9:39 This nurse did not have a clue. @10:00 Good thing that this nurse took over. A nurse who actually knew what she was doing.
In Canada, drs arent available on evenings, or wknds. So its hospit. Plus we are very short of doctors. So patients have no choice but tto show up at ER to get. Prescription renewals, xrays, etc
I agree. UTI, go to the doctor. 😢. But she’s elderly and live alone so I give her that, understanding.
Its sad that watching this in the United States all i can think of are dollar signs. Then i realize their health care system isn't like here. And people arent waiting for their 3,000 dollar emergency room bill
19:45...in the US she would have been sent home with oxygen. I have severe adult onset asthma and I've actually been clinically dead twice but they sent me home
Jane you are a sweetheart and all of your staf
The Dr's are my fave
How many beds and rooms do they have there? It sounds like it's not a very big hospital 25:15
30 A&E spaces. They see 275-300 people daily.
The hospital serves approx 250,000 people in Barnsley. It has around 400 - 500 beds, I believe. So it's on the larger than average size.
Migraine for 3 weeks?? Two days and I am in the doctor's office. He suffered so much for no reason, should have seen a doctor. These headaches do no go away by themselves.
I don't know how it is in the UK, but here in Texas (and especially for women) many doctors believe that migraines are "just a headache", or that the patient is drug seeking...
😂😂🎉
@@hesterpieterse6447 to whom were you replying with the laughter emojis?
I once went to our family dr as I knew I had a bladder infection but he insisted first to do a urine test before antibiotics, the next day I had spasms and could not pee at all, it was more painful than my three natural child births, I had to rush to the ER in tears and the traiage nurse didn’t your dr give you anything I said no… I was bleeding blood then and sure enough I had a massive kidney infection … put on strong antibiotics and pain relief .. My family dr apologize afterwards … Worse experience ever and yes I had to go to the ER
Don't they test your urine the same day?
It amazes me that people use the ambulance service for things like a UTI. Are there no doctors there that have office appointments? It seems to me they would save the stress put on the ambulance service and hospitals if patients were able to go see their doctors instead of the hospital for common illnesses.
Why don’t we normalize going to the emergency room if you think you have to. Some things can make people really sick. I just was in the hospital for a kidney infection
Its because it's free.
Maybe they have no trandportation? Perhaps the closest date for a GP appointment is days, even weeks away? Perhaps symptoms suddenly turned worse late at night?
My mother inlaw was taken by ambulance 🚑 to the hospital for a UTI,and she didn't come home. She passed away from it 2 months ago in hospital. Have a great day 🙂⚘️.
UTI in elderly people is very serious as it can turn into sepsis very quickly so they cannot wait until the next day to see their doctor. When we take my mother in it is simple in and out. A quick urine sample, sample checked, antibiotic given and we take her home. If it is during the day that the UTI comes up we can take her to Urgent Care at an outpatient clinic. That is how it is handled here in the States.
@21:35 …man has had severe migraine for 3 weeks…Nurse: Let’s put the lights on 😂
Really?!!! How do some of these nurses even qualify?!
Just cover his eyes. She has to do an assessment
FYI nobody watches a real life ER program to see an old lady with a UTI or to hear about overworked staff. Show the critical life saving and high drama situations. KNOW your audience
My mom passed away from a UTI
So sorry 😢 to hear this. I have worked with the elderly and yes, a uti can be very serious
UTI’s on elderly patients are not good at all. My mother hallucinated
I watch an episode where a gentleman had to have a Stent and spent 2 weeks in the hospital. I had 3 stents and spent 24 hours after the stents were in place then was sent home. I don't understand why the extended stay? Granted there might have been some extenuating circumstances but 2 weeks? That just seems excessive. I wanted to go home the day of my surgery but of course that wasn't going to happen. I was sent home on Plavix for a year but after that they took me off the blood thinners and lowered my blood pressure medication. After watching that episode I now understand why there aren't ever any beds available. Too long of hospital stays by overly cautious Dr's is my guess or the Dr's here in the US might not be cautious enough?
I wish I get a help to study nursing
What?
Does Ian have a health condition? He seems so young to be having such health issues 33:58
You've obviously never suffered from a migraine ! They can be so severe - to the point you want to just kill yourself - and I speak from experience ! People who've not experienced a migraine - have no idea how bad they actually are !
Ian is also (if you'd listened to the commentary) suffering from Meningitis !
I’m in the us but I haven’t heard a good things about this hospital! It seems the same as here, not enough hospitals, not enough space..
Regarding the viral meningitis. Antibiotics do not work on viruses. I am so confused.
Viral meningitis is a meningitis infection caused by a having a virus. It's almost a "side effect" of having the virus. The antibiotics treat the resultant infection, not the underlying virus
I believe she said antiviral.
This guy says he has sepsis a few times. You’re lucky to live through it the first time but he has it three times doubtful.
It’s viral meningitis.
@@SJC49 viral meningitis, is swelling of the brain and spinal cord due to an infection
Emergency in the ward they are short staffed in all wards
No body is getting their full duty of care in any areas
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They need an instacare area for some of these cases. They are filling their precious A and E beds with people that need oral antibiotics, stitches, band-aids, etc.
Are you a doctor? If not shut up!
We have various levels of health provision. The GP, then Minor Injuries, then ED. You can also be prescribed for minor ailments at the pharmacy, depending which UK country you live in.
Sadly, sometimes people choose to go to the wrong service for their need, or they have been advised to attend by the 111 NHS advice line

He should keep taking that antiviral medicine, his whole life, one pill, or even a couple a week and you’ll never get another cold as long as you live, or anything, viral like colds, and things
This guy says he has sepsis a few times. You’re lucky to live through it the first time but he has it three times doubtful.
I've had sepsis twice so it's possible thankful to made it thru
I’ve had it x2 so not so far fetched.
