- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2023
- Paramedics are called to assist an unconscious man who has overdosed on heroin and a schoolboy who has had a seizure. Plus, a man is desperate to be healthy enough to attend his daughter's upcoming wedding.
For the very first time, an ambulance has been rigged with cameras that provide a unique perspective on what it's like to respond to emergency calls. 'Inside The Ambulance' follows paramedics from the West Midlands Ambulance Service in England as they take us right into the heart of the action. We see heroism at work in the actions of these first responders. We also enter the lives of people in crisis and learn their unique stories.

Wow. Im going on Six YEARS Clean from all drugs. Praying for the guy that overdosed and everyone who struggles with addiction
Congratulations!! I'll have six years in December!!! One day at a time my friend!!! 💖🥰❤️🤗🙏🏻
Congrats to both of you. I'm newly recovered at 16 months and counting ❤
@@ssjess2504 thank you so much 🙂. Congratulations to you. You've got this. I believe in you
@@JenniferThacker1969 awesome news. Congratulations. You got this. I believe in you 🙂
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉✌️❤️💯💪I will have 6 year's clean in August.Was not easy .Pain pills drug of choice for me .Stay well .
In the UK "thank God the ambulance is here.". In the US " I'll drive myself because I'm not paying a $800+ bill for a 10 min drive".
As a Canadian and part of the Commonwealth, I can't believe the US health costs that are costing people their lives...America truly isn't the dream country anymore...nor really is Canada but a wee bit better... and yes I use ellipse...
I love these people. They are perfect for this job. The love and compassion they show is absolutely amazing. Thank you guys. Well done.
It’s crazy seeing this as a paramedic student in the US. You all do some things very similarly yet others so differently. Amazing job guys!
Could you give some examples of some differences?
@@tookitogo yea for sure, as far as I can see they don’t have a rule of who can be in the back during transport. At least in my company the EMT cannot be in the back with the patient unless they are with the paramedic. We also start IVs on a lot of our patients. They don’t seem to do that as much. As well and med administration, I think I saw the EMT give meds in this video if not another one of these. In my area EMTS can only give a couple meds and it’s never something in a syringe. It’s usually like chewable aspirin.
@@brandonurban9537 Interesting that your EMTs can't be with patients, and can't give something like epi (1:1000). In Oregon we (EMT-B) are allowed to admin Epi (1:1000 .15-.3mg drawn up/autoinjector) Aspirin (324mg) Sublingual nitroglycerin (0.4mg per tab/spray, honestly the most dangerous med we can admin), naloxone, activated charcoal, nebulized albuterol/ipratropium, and oral glucose. On top of that we can admin any medication that is prescribed to the patient with medical control, and assist the patient with any medication as prescribed to them if they are conscious. And oxygen of course. We can also run our own ambulances (called Basic Life Support), where there are just two EMTs, most ambulances are ALS (2 Medics/1 medic 1 emt).
I’ve noticed NHS gives good care but a lot of times they seem very slow when it comes to some interventions, in this case delaying narcan.
I've never seen medics here in the states wait to give a patient narcan until the get to the hospital. Usually that's the first thing they do on an overdose. If they think the patient is going to get combative they'll call for an officer to come.
My 19 year old son also suffers from ADHD and epilepsy. It's very difficult to get teenagers to eat right and stay on a good sleep routine. Especially after they turn 18. All I can do is remind him what happens when he stays up too late and doesn't eat enough. Then be there for him when the inevitable happens. Like when we spent last Christmas Eve in the emergency room after he had a seizure, fell and hit his head on a rock fireplace and tore his ear almost completely off. Between being postictal and the concussion, I don't think he remembers much about that holiday weekend. 😢 I know I'll never forget it!
That was a crappy Christmas. I'm glad y'all made it through.
Good on Preet for calling the cannula a “plastic tube” instead of a needle. They’ve always called it a needle or an IV for me and it would freak me out as a kid. Knowing it’s a tube that stays in rather than a needle actually helped me get over the fear (for the most part.)
Something that works for me is for the person inserting to ask me questions about my life or tell me about their day rather than letting me focus on the needle being inserted.
If you find yourself being someone who passes out during blood tests, IV’s etc. try and strike up a conversation with the tech, and let them know beforehand. If they don’t ask questions, ask them questions, people love talking about themselves and it helps distract you!!
Narcan is so scary sometimes. Like I’ve seen the immediate aftermath and it’s scary. Person just coming too from deaths door and then they start violently throwing up.
But the thing is, it was indicated in the field, for inadequate breathing or no breathing, but not just because you want to bring someone down quick in the ambulance before you get into ED. This guy was coherent enough to withdraw consent, it could have been an allergy that he wasn't able to express properly, and they just gave it anyway...
@@ThatGirlWithTheCoffee yeah I actually didn’t like that they still gave it to him after he said he didn’t want it.
@@ThatGirlWithTheCoffeehe puts heroin in his system…it’s not an allergy. He doesn’t want to lose his high.
@@ameliavelasco8602yeah but that's his choice... You don't give narcan because you want them "un high" them
He's a habitual junkie with a history of OD. The junkie didn't want the shot because they don't want to lose their high. That's why they become angry & combative. His medical history is on file at the hospital & the Paramedics are in direct contact with the ER..
This is a fine display of well-trained expert paramedics. The 56 year old gentleman with the fast heart rate: one of the EMTs said that AFIB is a life-long problem. I had AFIB, and after a wonderfully skilled surgeon found the troublesome nerves, they were severed and no more AFIB. I'm subbed, of course.
Here in the u.s. they give narcan to you right on the streets. Me and my late fiance decided to dabble once with heroine which turned out to be car fentanyl and took him down and they administered narcan right where he lay on the sidewalk
In Canada we use Naloxone A newer treatment
What is car fentanyl?
@@comm744Narcan and Naloxone are the same thing lol
@@anelson8856a stronger variation of fentanyl, spelt Carfentanyl, incredibly deadly
@@comm744Narcan is the brand name for Naloxone, they’re the same thing.
Just love this choice for Tube watching. Cheerful, well-qualified medical technicians are a joy to watch and learn from them. Thankful that patients have given permission to share their medical concerns.❤😊😊
Thank you for what you all do.
Everyone should have Narcan available. Even if you aren't an addict
They sell it at the grocery store pharmacy now. $40.
@@melindaburch4318 Yup. And some clinics & organizations will give you some for free.
Free in canada
@@7.83hz7 As it should be
I enjoy this show a lot. Cause I can relate with some of the pts problems they suffer. Epilepsy my daughter witch is so scary. Blood clots and ADHD my other daughter. And all the Emts are a joy to watch and funny and you see how they care for each person needs.💜
Dude, I feel for Sara. I have ibs and it gets triggered by stress, so I can’t get anxious about anything. The cramps are so painful, like hers, the stabbing in my abdomen. Ibs sucks and I don’t wish the pain on anyone. My GI doctor gave me medications to help ease the pain, but nothing much after that, which is no help for me. It’s really sucks. Hope she feels better!
I have ibsd as well , for the past 15 years. It’s downright horrible and people don’t have a clue . But you’re right about the meds. They only do so much :/ I also have gastroparisis which is one of the most painful things you can go thru and it’s sent me to the er more times than I can count over the last 7 years .gi issues are the worst
I highly recommend seeking out a naturopath with a dietician background. I was extremely skeptical of naturopaths but the gastrointestinal doctor's advice and limiting my foods to the bare minimum didn't do anything for a few years. Went to the naturopath and she had me to a $500 (Can) blood test to determine what foods I was having a delayed reaction to. Turns out I'm highly sensitive to: gluten, egg whites, dairy (not lactose), legumes, peas, Pistachios, celery, Cucumber, cashews, sunflower seeds etc. She also got me started on digestive enzymes and some supplements. My new doctor prescribed an anti acid for GERD and i take 2 gas X per day.
My IBS still flares up frequently but i'm much better than before.
I've also realized I've got sensitivities to eating raw broccoli and cauliflower, I can no longer eat cabbage or asparagus, I can't eat large quantities of red meat and small quantities of onions
@@amandasnider2644 I cut out red meat 15 years ago when I was diagnosed with ibs , I don’t do most dairy (haven’t drank milk in as much years ) I don’t do a lot of green veggies or cauliflower, nuts , stuff like that.
I do see the top gastrointestinal dr for gastroparisis in the US so he takes pretty good care of me . I just have a lot of medical trauma / ptsd over many years of being sick and in and out of the er and admitted in the hospital for different things - including a large chemical burn on my back 2 years ago that took 4.5 months to heal . That was a fun one 🙄🫤. That sets off my ibs and fibromyalgia bad ! But I can’t afford a naturopathic dr as I’m on ssd and I barely make enough on that to feed myself every month and pay my bills . Unfortunately it sucks but it’s what I live with .
Hannah, you are very impressive!!!
Amazing TV Show
Absolutely impressive professional and personal skills on display in these videos 🙏👍
I am from Canada and don't get me wrong, we have plenty of amazing paramedics and medical personnel but they don't keep you informed or do a of explaining the way these paramedics do. You will be asked plenty of questions but you won't have the one to one care and consideration. We all can improve our skills and learn about alternative approaches in order to give our patients the best care possible.
UK paramedics are far better trained. I was a paramedic in BC it can take a year to get trained. In the UK Paramedic training is a University course. 4 years. Very low pay in BC. $23 to $30 an hour for ALS.
Thank you for helping danielito flores one
Inside the ambulance is so awesome to watch that's why I love watching this TV show ) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 for this TV show)
I totally enjoy paramedic Hannah Simpkins. She's a pip as well as very competent and reassuring.
The English accent is so soothing... xo
So I'm wondering the Lady with the oink hair and the stomach issues, if shes on an certain type of anti depressant you can have some drinks and foods that makes your stomach swell etc. When I was on a type of anti depressant I could not have anything with Pomelo, it basicly turned your stomach into stone (not litterly). Sorry for the typos etc. English isn't my first language
Paracetamol is Tylenol for those that don't know
I don’t really understand why why people can’t just respect the fact that sometimes you just want to die, but they insist on keeping you alive
They do not make money on a dead patient. The money is in forced treatment, psych holds and the patients coming back....
We had a frequent flyer in out ER... Suicide attempt after attempt... The last time I saw her (retired) was attempt #5
Weird they dont administer narcan right away in the usa its administered instantly ..hope hes okay
Do they hand out Nalaxon (Here for nasal adm.) To addicts there ?
Injection rooms ?
Preet 🥺💖
Narcan in America is usually administered with a nasel spray. Seems better than a needle
I don’t like needles either. I have arthritis and it usually takes at least seven tries for them to get a needle in my hand and it is really really painful I wish that they could freeze my hand first
Missed the obvious Sepsis. The 58 y:o M presented with tachycardia, history of Afib, now febrile, diaphoretic, difficulty breathing sick x4 days… This requires fluid bolus/sepsis alert. Would’ve liked to know Lung Sounds, and Capnography/Spo2… Knowing that Fevers hinder cardiac medications, that’s why his AFib was uncontrolled.
They have the most Dr. Spock’s on this episode.
I have IBS and when she was describing her pain I instantly knew. It’s the worst pain I feel for her . Doctors need to be more compassionate with IBS .
It doesn’t help that you don’t wanna eat because you’re scared of your stomach hurting all the time I’ve always had buffalo chicken dip since I was little but two months ago I had it and I was in the hospital. I ended up throwing up 37 times in one night. Even the foods your familiar with can go bad
my dad actually suffers from AFIB. I feel bad for anthony
Comments are really gross. Clearly shows you guys dont understand addiction
Do I understand correctly that on the ECG at 15.43 signs of blockage of the left leg of the Gis bundle? Perhaps Wolf Parkinson White syndrome?
And of course all the guys left
9:11 fiat ducato Multijet??
Loads of UK ambulances are Ducatos

10:09 he said it was bad for him because narcan reverses the effects of an opioid and puts him in instant withdrawal
Yeah it makes him sober so he hates it. He’s nearly close to dying, and he doesn’t care, he just wants to stay high. Scary. Sad.
@@thekrayers don't assume things. Withdrawal is worse than most conditions period. He was probably scared of it and would rather die than deal with it. Please don't make assumptions and sound insensitive
But it could have been an allergy, that the 'bad things' is that it closes his throat, he wasn't coherent enough to distinguish was it that or withdrawl. If he's still breathing okay, his heart rate is okay, and his oxygen levels are okay, I would have just wheeled him in without it and let the doctors decide if he needed it anymore.
The indication is absent or inadequate breathing, and now his breathing seems to be okay....
I can say that the aftermath of beein high is worse then been on fhe verge to death
Believe me, they’ve done it enough to know what they’re doing. Narcan saves lives. The man is in the best place to manage his withdrawal symptoms, he’s going to the hospital. They didn’t just leave him on the street. You won’t die from a heroin withdrawal.
I do hope they have Nicola go to a dietician. It would help so much with her breathing and diabetes and alot of other things. When my dr told me i was 1 pt away from diabetes i immediately tried my hardest to lose weight and i lost 92 lbs in 14 months and i feel so much better all around. She has small children and a sick Husband so it sounds like its tough for them all
could the girl with stomach pain have gallstones?
June 15 1981 Clean and sober and because I have a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST who saved my life
Sober for 40 min
That's the date my brother committed suicide. I do wish he would have had the help he needed for his addiction. RIP David. Congratulations on being clean!!!!!!
Needle phobia is so bad. I suffer from it, although I have gotten to the point that blood taking is managable. Now I have gotten Wegovy on prescription, and that's an injection medication. I struggeled so badly with it at first, with hyper ventilating and crying, since I could not manage to self inject. Took me many a few weeks, but finally managed to inject myself.
I can hold the injector with the needle on it just fine, which is a good thing according to my brother who is a paramedic, and he sees needle phobia all the time.
Strange really, since the needle is very small, and it didn't really hurt at all, but just the thought of self injecting was terrifying, so I can sympathize with the boy suffering from the needle phobia.
I couldn't self inject during school... The very last day I had to or fail the class... I just couldn't and was tired of holding the needle... Here is the very ODD part... I had the needle tip on my skin... didn't hurt at all... I managed to do the injection but I could not take the needle out... I was locked up, I could barely talk... The instructor had to get the needle out...
We have stupid drivers here in the uS too.
Can someone tell me why do the paramedics have to wear 2 cameras?
It’s just for the show
It is explained in the open8ng. They are recording for the show.
Narcan???????
Naloxone is Narcan
Yeah like how they say paracetamol instead of acetaminophen
18:43
They need to stop saying heroin.......theres no heroin anymore just fentanyl
What a difference between then and now as far as the heroin and Narcan goes!!
These days you're pretty much knocking on death's door when you're getting Narcan and you don't have a choice and it's highly likely that you never got heroin but fentanyl. So scary and very sad.
👁️👁️. BEST PART of OVER DOSE is that addict is sooo HIGH , they don’t realize they are actually dying 💕
" you don't have a choice" he did, and they ignored his choice..... They did not have the right to do that...
@@helookalikaman79 why do u keep yapping like this under every comment? theres no consent in a LIFE SAVING situation. would you rather he had a heart attack and died?
@@SORAM4FU ah NO means NO... it is life and his choice... I didn't say it was the best choice but it is only his to make..... What can a healthcare worker do to YOU, while you are refusing? remember they claim you are in a "life saving situation"
Tony was discharged from hospital and they said he didn't have a chest infection only for the paramedics to find out he DID have one a couple of hours later... Sometimes I wonder what incompetent staff the local hospital there has that patients have to return to hospital twice in a day to get their diagnosis corrected.
There's no such thing as incompetent staff at hospitals. False positives and false negatives are a thing, you should learn about it instead of trying to blame someone.
Too many of them!!
@@kenshiku Even with inconclusive test results, it is inexcusable to send someone home without a treatment plan for their problem.

'Suffers from ADHD which he's on medication for' - FFS, what has America done to paediatric healthcare...
Jesus they are slow
Being all supplies with you! The call is clearly an OD. Waste time not bringing the stretcher first?? And narcan /naloxone nasal 1 right away. Bam the dude will wake up. Im very happy I don't live there if thats how slow they move.
For real. I would’ve been dead by that point
they did need to rush... he said NO....
i wouldn't give naloxone unless they are breathing less then 10 breaths a minute
sarah was faded in the ambulace 🤣
It seems they give the hospital a lot of business.
Incredibly abusive to give that guy narcan
I so can empathize with the young lady with IBS/stomach pain. I suffered for decades with GI issues until I had to go on a strict diet r/t non-alcoholic fatty liver. Once I stopped eating all grains and the products with wheat by products/sweeteners, sugar, my beloved coffee creamer, and all processed foods. NO oils but virgin olive oil or meat based oils. Now all those issues are Gone! I suffered for so many years with chronic GI issues that took me to the ER that I no longer have unless I cheat or accidentally eat something I shouldn't. All the poisons we eat are making us all sick!
Ndndkd den9de dos0
Some people are such wimps I mean, being scared of a needle 😂
I don’t understand why when he’s responding and speaking they’re going to administer narcan. Narcan is when they’re overdosing and not responsive. SMH. It increases chances of violence for no reason,
I overdosed, got Narcan, was awake for 30 minutes then stopped breathing and my heart stopped again and had to get 2 more doses so that’s not always true
Congrats and bravo for good effort.But Don't touch your hair with dirty gloves.And no long free hair allowed.And belt on the rescue chair should be underneath hand (Armpit).Heavy Patient can slide easily.Nice and mondern equipment you got.These vehicles are realy majestic and i m pretty jelous .@ Bravo collegues!Uk Paramedics are top scale.
It looks like they gave injection against the patient's wishes. I am sure that they couldn't have done that. He must have agreed at some stage and I didn't hear it. Any observations?
They have a standard of care to each patient. If it's anything like here in the States, if a patient is not capable of making a reasonable decision (member of family who can act on their behalf) and in this case his ability to reason is affected by the heroin, then they are permitted to go ahead with life-saving treatment. The Narcan was to prevent the overdose from killing him, so it's within the criteria.
He likely doesn't want the Narcan because it will ruin the "desired" effect of the heroin, which he bought.
@@cmtippens9209honestly that was wrong what they did. He wasn't at risk of dying because he never went into respiratory arrest which is what narcan is specifically for. They just don't feel bad for drug addicts and would prefer he go through withdrawal to "learn a lesson"
@@cmtippens9209 they had no right... they should be fired and charged with assault
@@helookalikaman79 - Sooo....they're just supposed to sit back and watch someone die of an overdose so that then the patient's family/friends and the entire city can rake them over the coals, or even prosecute them (ruining their reputation, both personal and professional)?
It's called "extenuating circumstances". Go back and read the first two sentences I wrote, and pay particular attention to the part about the patient not being capable of making a reasonable decision due to the influence of a drug.
Unless a patient has a legally binding document that no intervention is to be taken when a life-threatening event occurs, first responders are required to act to the best of their ability and training to save a life.

It’s shocking the fat people who run the risk of so many illnesses. Please lose the weight you will live longer. After a heart attack I am now so careful with my diet. Best wishes everybody 😊.
Losing weight is easier said than done. I have struggeled for years trying to lose weight, and not had much success.
Now I'm on Wegovy, so I hope that will be able to help me lose weight.
@@haraldlorentzen40You are right.
Yeah it’s also shocking and distressing to have an eating disorder.
smh
Why, time to let go. they just do it again, and again, and again.
Lmao ok I got narcaned after using pain pills for less than 6 months after an injury, getting dependent on them because I was literally psychotic at the time, they saved my life and I’ve been clean three years and am a nurse myself now.
I happen to think we’d be better off without people who think like you though, so I guess we’re even 😉
Sorry, but you are absolutely asking for problems when being overweight/obese!
Have you considered it's a vicious cycle of ill health and not being able to exercise, etc. Don't judge unless you know story and don't judge then either.
@@juliaforsyth8332They are absolutely right.
I don't understand why waste money involved for his stupidity, others need help!
It's not wasting time if someone suffers with a disease. You need a lesson on logic.
imagine taking illegal drugs..................... being in this state.......... barely breathing........ wasting ambulance time.... then refusing antidote.......... then getting aggressive........................................................ parasite
Most addicts have some sort of underlying disease that they can't treat legally (due finances, stigma, or something like that). They're refusing the antidote so they're not stuck with their symptoms.
He said NO Which means you don't give it to him. "It's bad for me" could mean he is allergic. Both former paramedics should be charged with assault. NO is not a word up for interpretation, Obviously they know what he is saying and they forced it anyway...
Rubbish. They have a duty of care to give life saving medication. It's bad for him because he dosent want to lose the high and probably scared of withdrawal.
@@juliaforsyth8332 It is called CONSENT. He said NO that means NO... Work in the medical field then you would learn CONSENT.
And it doesn't matter the reason behind the "NO" , now if he was unconscious that would be the time they CAN give the medication without consent...
Too many patients have their wishes ignored because the general public think it is okay, that is until they are the patient having medical BS forced upon them.
@helookalikaman79 That's all fine and dandy when the patient isn't literally teetering on the brink of life and death. Also, considering the fact that he was still tripping out on heroin, I think its fair to say he wasn't in the right mind to be making medical decisions for himself and that the trained and sane-minded professional should be allowed to do their job and save him. He's well within his rights to refuse any care once he's come back to himself and isn't literally about to die. It's unfair to expect medical personnel to just sit there and watch someone die when they could easily save their life because they said no while not in a right state of mind to be making said decisions.
@@coolwaffles1940 "he wasn't in the right mind to be making medical decisions for himself"
This is the problem with medical decisions. Anyone can say the patient is not capable of making medical decisions, so the human being is treated like a number, a slab of meat on the conveyor belt...
"It's unfair to expect medical personnel"
The only "unfair" thing is forcing medical procedures on a patient that is CHOOSING to refuse medical treatments. Your body, your choice.
The guy should complete an Advance Directive... So this cannot happen again.
Many patients get into the "cant make medical decision" scenario and/or don't feel like they can speak up on refusing certain issues. With the Advance Directive in place, the medical personnel cannot ignore the patient's decisions. If they do, they can lose everything.
👁️👁️. NO NEED TO RUSH … it’s just another addict that’s. ODed TODAY so that you rescued, sooo he can repeat his action again TOMORROW 😱🙄🥹
Addiction can be surpassed im trying. Idiot
Ignorance is showing its tail.
The reason people become addicted is that the medical system refuses to provide treatment for their diseases so they turn to random stuff off the street.
Enough UK stuff...
Don’t watch then
That’s literally the show
Why watch then ? Like if you dont like it dont watch it its literally that simple
Are you tied to a chair with your eyes taped open? Are you hostage?
