That guy was complaining about waiting 20 minutes to be seen? I hope he’s grateful he wasn’t in the US.
This is the part you expound further what would have happened, if he was in the USA. Kindly.
Or in Canada right now. I'm currently in a lot of debilitating and excruciating pain but I'm not going to emergency here in Ottawa because the waiting times in hospitals, especially city hospitals are so ridiculous that it's not worth it. I'd much rather wait it out (I've been to emergency for the same symptoms multiple times before where they've done absolutely nothing to help me) in the comfort of my own bed with all of my heating pads and ice packs
I'm grateful I'm in the US. I understand UK nurses are on the verge of a strike over low wages. I'm sure the wait is long in our larger cities, but I'm in the largest city in my state and I've never had to wait for any level of care.
However, I would wager he's grateful he has free healthcare though, regardless of the wait times 😉
Healthcare and health insurance are ridiculous in the US.
@@alison4316 True.. regardless of longer wait times, he doesn't have to think about the hefty, overpriced medical bills that come afterwards. Just walks home 😁.✅
20 minutes? Last time I was in the ER, I was there for 13 HOURS.
One time I was in a small isolated village clinic with a horrible migraine that was in its third day. There was no hospital and the doctor only came for a few days a month. I had been waiting for a couple of hours and felt miserable and I could hear a man moaning. The nurse came in full of apology for the long wait. She proceeded to tell me the doctor was held up because a logger had been brought in having been impaled in a tree! I learned later that the branch was still in the logger when they brought him in! It was a lesson to me that no matter how bad you feel there is always someone who has it worse than you. Perspective is a wonderful thing!
I agree completely. I have had a rare neurological disease for my entire life. When it was finally diagnosed, I was in my mid to late 30s and was actually dying. The only thing I could do at the time was move my hands and talk. So I decided to be the lead person for our Church prayer chain. On days when I thought I could cope not a minute longer, someone would call needing prayer who was far worse than me. Doing that small job was the best thing that I ever did. That was in 1995. It’s 2024 now, despite the constant company of this disease I lead a fairly normal life. Learning someone was far worse than I was one of the best lessons in my life. Y’all have a truly blessed day!
Absolutely.
I’m utterly disgusted by how rude and disrespectful that young awful looking couple was to the elderly lady 😡
No respect whatsoever
He complain of the terrible pain but he is to being just the fine walk out of cigarette 🙄😡
They’re such trash. 🤮
absolutely horrible
It’s disgusting how freely people use curse words. Has everyone forgotten how to speak.
I as an adult male was not happy with their conduct. If I had them doing that I would have intervened.
It is shocking how some people act in a hospital. That young couple is disgusting and disrespectful.
They were oblivious to everybody except themselves. Pretty universal among young people everywhere.
@@uppitywoman3647you mean heterosexuals
Old lady wasent exactly pleasant either@@GetLoose-bx2qr
@@GetLoose-bx2qrwhat? 😂
What does that have to do with anything? @@GetLoose-bx2qr
aw, bless Claire. She is the girl version of Hugh Grant in his films. Awkward and sweet and vulnerable. I hope she's doing well 🌻
lol at those people complaining about air quality while going to smoke
Exactly
Lol the irony
Yes and they sit out the front and complain about waiting and the “pain” they are in and yet they can get up and go out for a smoke 🙄
@@kylieknight2365 let's see, do you have time and strength to get a painkiller when in pain? A cigarette distracts you from the pain for the while you're smoking.
The way the nurse spoke to Eileen was incredibly compassionate and heartwarming. What a professional, what an example of an excellent human. :-)
Thats liz a consultant doctor who is in charge of the A&E and she sees everyone on the one day a week she works (yes I've watched all of these - probably far too many!!). She is wonderful. Tough but so kind
Eileen wont be lonely anymore
Im an utter fan of Liz the consultant (blonde doctor) who only works once a week and has 4 young children. She is meticulously thorough but most importantly so warm and caring. I love her.
She’s so thorough and excellent
It’s the cute elderly that gets me everytime. My heart breaks when they are sick and when they have lost a spouse.
I love the 92 yr old lady that lost her husband, if she wants a nip, let her have it!! She's earned it!!💞
I love the lady talking to Ilene! That's how you talk to people! I love how she asks her what can she do to make her life better!
That couple that were asked to leave the examination room, and they start talking about the old people and the air quality in the hospital and RSV 🤪 then they go outside and SMOKE. People are crazy
These NHS nurses/ consultants are really something! 💜 their bedside manner is amazing! That nurse (Liz) talking to Eileen was so heart warming! ❤
Liz is consultant
Eileen is the generation that dealt with so much. A real trooper.
This series deserves an award,both for staff and for those who create the series.
Right?! I'm blown away and totally addicted
Listen to these nurses. Tell your loved ones you love them often, while you can.
Interesting that the couple went outside and exclaimed about the fresh air - then lit up a cigarette. 20 minutes! I waited 50 hours for surgery - lying on a trolley in the pre surgery area - 15 beds and full lights shining down. I needed surgery on my thumb as I had septicaemia. I really thought I’d lose a limb as it crept up my arm - swelling and the pus was trying to make cracks to find a way out. It was agony and I was in a fever. It required 4 surgeries I was told repeatedly - I fasted for the 3rd but they didn’t have a theatre so they relied on antibiotics for 4 weeks - 2 weeks with a PICC Line. They didn’t bother to tell me my surgery was cancelled until I asked if there had been an accident holding things up. That was 5 hours after they cancelled it. I had a special diet of hospital formula as I haven’t been able to eat for 5 years. The dietician arranged for me to get my formula but instead they gave me 5 Dixie ice creams and sometimes a full meal which really rubbed salt into the wound. I couldn’t eat it ot I’d have had a bowel obstruction. I stopped counting surgeries at 130 so hearing of a 20 minute wait is incredulous.
130 surgeries?? As an RN I've never heard such a thing. What are so the surgeries for?? Hope you feel better. You said you haven't eaten in five years but you were eating ice cream one cannot survive off of ice cream, did they put a line into your stomach to feed you properly???
@@janice576came to ask the same thing… seems like quite the mess.. not impossible but off the charts crazy
130? Say what? What for?
I’m so sad for Eileen she seemed like such a lovely lady! RIP 🙏🏻
Well, the younger ones sure showed their class in this episode, bunch of foul mouthed babies, sickening! I have no idea why some of the content was left in, they should have been on the cutting room floor, we already know how entitled some people are! Nurses and doctors are heroes!
Rude, ignorant people!
That was really surprising and i was caught off guard there too! But I think it's kinda funny they should keep showing that patients can be a problem too
I think it is really important in stuff like this to show all sides. It's about empathy. You never know what someone else is going through or how hard they've been pushed by life, so all you can do is be as kind as you can to everyone you meet.
Patrick was such a baby about a such a slight injury. Mercy!!
Yeah, that girl was gross and her little druggie boyfriend is a loser!
I worked in vascular surgery and a 5 millimetre or smaller abdominal aortic aneurysm would be booked anywhere in the next 4 weeks, 7 millimetre and over would be asap. Anything in between would vary. A great friend of mine lived on another island and was in Vancouver supporting his wife who had cancer. While there they found a AAA. They told him he needed surgery and they booked it. But he cancelled it so he could stay with his wife. I wish he'd have talked to me as he died in bed two days after he should have had surgery. A month later his wife died. I still can't believe they're both gone. AAA's are not something you have the luxury of thinking about for long. Once it bursts you are actively dying and even with medical intervention the chances of surviving are almost nil. You just bleed out too fast.
That's tragic, my condolences 💜
My mother just had surgery for a 7mm AAA, they also had to open her up and clear out her legs arteries, ended up with a much bigger incision, it's scary to here that a loved one has one cause it could be any moment.
Yes my grandfather died at age 34 from a AAA , so sad
A friend's son died at 21 from it.
An AAA is a quick killer! My potential future boss died of one aged 43, leaving behind a wife and a young kid! 😔
I’m sad that so many elders are alone and yet their family would do anything to keep them safe. The son in law was sad that his father in law didn’t let anyone know he needed help. Single men seem to the most vulnerable.
What a baby that guy is that has waited 20 minutes.
My 24 yo Granddaughter is a Type 1 diabetic and was in diabetic ketoacidosis yesterday, which is life threatening. She waited 12 hours to see a Dr and was then admitted to the ICU and placed on a Insulin drip and this guy complains about 20 minutes. Shame on him. They would have laughed and him and put him the waiting room in the USA hospitals.
I'm sorry Mrs Lane. 🤗
Wait what about US Hospitals???????
Absolutely! He would have been lucky to be seen after several hours here in the US!
I 💯 agree!! People like that make me sick!!
My mother just had an aortic aneurysm about the same size as this gentleman, we say covid saved her life cause if it wasn't because of covid disorienting her to fall and me needing to call for help we never would have known. Unfortunately we are still dealing with the incision healing, it's been a long journey to heal because they needed to open her arteries in her legs as well causing a bigger incision.
I hope your Mother heals quickly. Very glad they found her Aortic Aneurysm. Often they are not found.
😊
I'm confused. you said your mother had aortic aneurysm and covid saved her life. As a RN I'm a little confused with that. Can you please explain..No disrespect just curious..
I HOPE YOUR MOM IS DOING WELL MANY BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS SENT HER WAY 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
The old lady has a fractured hip! One of the worst pain and that other man is crying over a knee
Some people are big babies!!
I never thought I could feel so sad about someone who's a complete stranger to me...Yet I feel like I've known her....Mrs.Eilleen such a sweet and lovely lady...I think that she made a lovely wife, mother and grandmother...RIP Eilleen...❤
These people deserve a medal. I know there is faults everywhere but they work very hard an seem kind to the pt
Oh, what a sweetheart Eileen was. What a beautiful soul. Death is a difficult subject to deal with. I am sure she is much happier now because she is with her husband. I lost my Mother suddenly this year. She was 83. I was so fortunate to have spent the day with her on her Birthday, which was the 17th. She passed on the 25th. I miss her so much. I speak for rhe rest and it truly changes your life. A big part of my life is missing without her. I do believe in the afterlife. She is watching over me. I know because I can smell her fragrance of Lavender which will come and go. I admire the patience and care that the health care professionals give. Without them, where would we be. They are angels in disguise, so treat them with utmost respect. ❤
I've seen toddlers with better manners than some of these people.
You know, it used to be a parent or parents abandoning their children. Now it's the other way around. I know from my own personal experience. It's incredibly sad.
They still do abandon their children
Children are so mean. I had four daughters. I feel lucky we survived.
Don't be mean.
What Pritpal is 100% right. Hospitals aren't all doctors. Everyone, from catering to nurses to people that use hawks to keep pigeons off the roof, play their part in keeping these people alive. He doesn't have to be a doctor to make a difference, and he seems like an awfully sweet man.
You seem like a great person too.😀
Thank you to all the doc and nurses...I was also treated with so much respect when I was on holiday in London and had a pain across my chest (2019)..I walked thru a trauma room...
Eileen looked great for her age
I hope John is still doing well, he reminds me of my father.
R.I.P. Eileen
I think Brenda is John's second wife.
That young couple was so annoying. She seemed to at least have a bit more of a brain than him, but barely
Did she call him gorgeous????
My grandfather died of a burst aortic aneurysm, 5 years later my uncle(same side of the family) passed of a suspected AAA
Please make sure you get regular checkups. Take care.
My mother had a AAA, but a stent was a no-go, and so was surgery because she also had COPD. They said she had two years, she lived 2 1/2 years, out of sheer cussedness!
A friend of my daughter has a AAA last year and died at the age of 32. He was complaining of chest pain, went to the ER. They did a minimal exam and discharged him. He went to the bathroom before leaving, there was a loud thump, they had to break down the door and found him dead inside because the AAA ruptured. A simple x-ray would have saved his life.
My Great Uncle died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Took the hospital a week with crazy guesses of what was wrong with him. This was a VA hospital. I ended up going to the chief of staff as I was disgusted with the Dr just guessing.
@Kathleen Beavers ..I'm sorry for your loss...Was this VA hospital in the US?
@@JOLEE462 Yes it was in Batavia NY.
Something similar happened to my grandmother in the 90's. It took the doctors several days to figure out what the problem with her health was. The doctors initially thought she had a brain bleed and dismissed whenever my grandfather was telling them that aneurysms runs in the family. Turns out his gut feeling was right, she had thoracic aortic aneurysm which ruptured leading to her death shortly before her discharge.
Great hospital care of patients.
Ms. Eileen is just wonderful, I wish we could get updates on some of the patients. I would love to know about her
You did get an update at the end of the episode. Eileen died in her sleep three days after she was admitted.
@@Cayleonaso sad
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hard work you do❤❤❤
What’s sad is there aren’t that many years between the older and younger generations and the young are so ungrateful and whiny and disrespectful. Imagine the generation below them?!?!?!?!
The mind boggles.
Life will toughen people and teach them wisdom.
Oh Eileen ❤️
Surprised the GP sent his patient to the ER for an ear infection.
Just because one is elderly it should not be a given that their time has come to an end. I have watched a number of these types of British reality medical shows and it appears that elderly patients 80 years of age and above receive fewer patient services.
True. The elderly there put a huge strain on their socialized medicine resources. They decide whose too old to live. Sad.
Thought the same thing.
It's possibly a bit more complicated than that, it could be the clinic didn't have the resources, time, or the gp or nurse or whatever that examined them wasn't allowed to treat it ( I've heard of that before, in particular an inner ear infection)
Same here in the US.
I know it's hard to wait when you are in pain but patients are seen by how serious the injury is. If you are sitting & whining then just realize that you may be in a very serious accident some day & you will probably hear someone complaining about you.
24 hours in A&E is one of my favourite programmes on TV. The staff are amazing, and it’s wonderful to see how patients deal with their problems. Blessings to all.
Nurse's and the doctors and surgeons in A&E are the best to help people that isn't feeling well in the hospital)
Eileen is the generation that dealt with so much. A real trooper.. Eileen is the generation that dealt with so much. A real trooper..
Broke my heart to see she passed!1:(
Impatient people need to get over themselves.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for caring ❤
I just spent the summer in the hospital and then in rehab trying to walk. I wish the er and hospital could have been as compassionate as they are at King's. I have never in my life been treated as badly as I was in the er and the hospital.
talk about entitlement 16:00 i want someone now!, never mind someone is in worse way. crazy
Welcome to everyday in the ED…
And in the pharmacy. I work as a pharmacy assistant and it’s horrible. Entitled and selfish people
@RW and then they get release from the hospital where they've had 2-6 patients to one nurse to ltc, where there's 1 nurse for 24-30 people, their call light doesn't get answered in a minutes time and they fill out a grievance....healthcare is not the Hilton, we aren't your servants or maids, we're educated/trained and don't get paid enough for what we get dealt with
I have been threatening and even assaulted at work in healthcare. It IS a jungle out there!
I just love Amanda ❤ And all the staff is just so amasing!! ❤
That big grown baby with the hurt knee needs to be shown why his knee can’t wait. 😤
I was an EMT for ten years. It can get really bad in the ED.
It always bothers me when family are telling their loved ones bye and don’t say… I love you 😞. They always seem to mumble about and look uncomfortable. Always say I love u ❤️
My Dad told me he and his buddies used a type of 10W40 on their toes and feet when they fought in Vietnam. He said all their feet were so messed up from staying wet all the time and having boots on 😖
Fascinating
The lady talking about wd40 and her black shiny surfaces was so sweet
They are all so sweet
The men and women that were born in the 1920's, 30's and 40's never complain. They just get on with it. Now days you see young people can't even tolerate being called the wrong pronoun without having a conniption fit, crying and screaming in the streets. They are so weak.
A 20 minute wait? That would be awesome.
Clair seems like such a sweet girl!
Come to the US and see how long you wait in the ER. I had a friend who’s husband was in the waiting room for 2 days before the admitted him. So I thing 15 minutes is nothing.
Wow that man is really complaining about waiting 20 min over a swollen knee smh 🤦🏽♀️
The man that waited for 20 minutes should be a shamed of him self for being so pushing to be seen by the doctors
the blonde doctor was so sweet and caring with the elderly woman!
I hate going to the hospital.Why do they need so many ppl in that room .He only hurt his ankle 🤔😂
To get problem resolved asap. NHS has a 4 Hr (discharged or admitted) in and out criteria.
A true drama queen lol it’s very pathetic
@@SJC49I ment family members
HOW come GP not know wat an ear infection looks like ..... must hav looked needed a second opinion i s'pose too busy pass it on to the NHS GR8 JOB YOU GUYS DO AMAZING THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ......
We so need mobile catering here. Vending machines don’t offer sandwiches, we have no cafeteria either.
Where?
I live in Newfoundland Canada
The Indian gentleman loved his work it seems.
Mom had adminal aotic aneursym, stent inserted, 4 months later car accident ripped it apart
THE TRIPPLE A, the big one !!!!
just love amanda, perky lil med tech tap dancing
Pacemakers can make you really feel more energetic and not fall.
Few things irritate me more than people in hospital behaving as if they are so important that their non-life threatening injury demands examination ahead of those who are in with illness or injury that is potentially life threatening...and were there before the complainers walked in. I have advanced lung disease and even I don't complain when I'm in emergency waiting for meds to work and the staff is obviously busy. I am no more important than the next. We're all brothers and sisters and need to remember that
old fella bein told his operation tis risky tis prolly thinkin.... 'anything just stop these two old women talkin about WD40 across me' lol
How do you think these health care professionals feel. They are helping and treating us when we are ill. Then one day, one of their co-workers will be taking care of them, and it goes on and on. These words and opinions are my own. I am getting older and thinking of my past more so than my future now. The future doesn't matter. I take each day, one day at a time. I am relieved and happy to wake in tne morning. It isn't my time yet. I just live for today. I look out of my window andI see just how beautiful the trees appear, the sky so blue and the flowers in bloom with their brilliant colors. The breeze blowing the leaves. I am paying more attention to the details of what is before us to see. Nothing else really matters. You become in tune with nature., the air , the colors. I can go on and on. I am going to stop right here. I am One as we all are. I will age gracefully and accept what is to come, and say, I know what my purpose in life was, I have learned from my mistakes. Maybe I will get it right in my next life. I have no regrets living this one. ❤
Beautiful words
Aortic aneurysm in the abdomen is what killed my father in law. He went in less than 3 min.
The one time i actually went through the ER was when i was dying due to septicemia after a pelvic injury when i was still dancing. Had i arrived any later i would have died. Being in America i didnt want to go to the hospital due to the absolutely insane costs. It makes me wonder if i was in Europe if i wouldve cone sooner
The audacity to, not ask but demand, service after only 20 min. Real emergencies and life threatening people are top priority. One time I had to wait 19 hours. I got a quiet room and was able to stop crying. I had a huge abscess in my throat. They did a I and D and antibiotics after a total 21 hours there alone! I don't complain but I can have a meltdown fast and that did it. I was still polite and kind! They were great just short staffed.
I love how they hand everyone Tylenol and pretend that's gonna help.
the blood lady LOL
Amanda might be great at job but she is annoying milking her minute of fame
Lord help that sweet girls heart
Yes, the young girl who had the bike accident after losing her boyfriend from a similar accident. Bless her.
Nevermind him and his friend seem very high lol.
What happened to the man with a heart problem who was possibly going to get a pacemaker?
men are such babies when they're in pain....
Is it a case of squeaky door gets the oil 😢
The hospital staff here are professional, just like the people in the U.S. at MAYO.
it's not funny but when the narrator cut out that obnoxious couple with "They've been waiting for 20 minutes" I completely lost it
Absolute self entitled guy and his friends. They will never be any different.
It up 3 hour to be seen USA hospital most day
So sad that people bring minor complaints in to emergency…..for example the little boy that kicked a chair because of anger issues with a game. He can walk therefore nothing serious enough to require a visit to emergency. Then there is the old woman with a tummy ache, she too could visit her doctor. Times have changed and the hospitals are crammed full and your emergency is not that to anyone else. Check with triage to see how long the wait is, if you can last until you see a doctor then do that. There are walk-in clinics as well if you don’t have a regular doctor.
His little friend trying to gaslight him over a knee pain🤦🏽♀️ drama queens
They have "mobile catering" at the ER in the UK!? Whaaat? Youll starve for the 8, 9, 10 hours you wait here lol
Don't u hate it when u see grown-ups acting like little kids!! I mean they r there for something relatively small and they act like they r dying!!
Well young one, you never know! I went to a chiropractor for upper back pain and had a BP of 211/161. He told me to go straight to the E.R. Turned out I needed a triple bypass. You'll see when you get older...
If my dream had came thru Jamaica would have one of the best sergon 😊
In the USA, we only go to the emergency room for critical care, plus we pay for that care, before we get any treatment... if you cause a ruckus or complain loudly, rudely, abusively😢 and repeatedly, the hospital security walks you out, and if you persist, you can be arrested. For all non life threatening events you go to your primary care doctor or an urgent care clinic. However, you pay for your service first before you get care. If you have health care insurance you will only be treated for what your insurance covers... any extras comes out of your😮 pocket... 😊 as for ambulances, you pay first, before you are transported... 😊
The aortic anurism would have generated a bill in the thousands if in the USA even with insurance.
Something our hospitals in the US could do is "walk around snack provisions."...Bedside manner is great.
