In the ambulance i asked one of the EMTs if i could hold his hand. he let me hold his hand the entire time except for when he had some other tasks. thank you Austin for making me feel safe on the scariest day of my life
"Right now they're ALL mine." Darn straight, I wish more emergency, police, and medical shows followed this. Cut out personal feelings and stick to procedure that saves the most lives.
I’m not an emt but I have helped out with several accidents in my life. Also helped the folks before the cops got there and also called parents for people who were severely injured too. Even protected a guy once who was severely injured and the guy in the other car was intent on harming him. I stood between him and the injured guy and told him to get back in his car. Thankfully he listened to me. I was 5’2” and only 95 pounds at the time. It’s very traumatic but I would never walk away from an accident. I have to help. It’s just who I am. And you are very correct. Right now they’re ALL mine. That’s how I see it too. All my love to you and everyone who sees this. ❤❤❤
As an EMT we are trained on scent safety which states that ourselves and our partners safety is priority bc if we can’t protect ourselves, we can’t protect you. In a situation like this one, however, it’s a little different but that same mentality would still be there by most on the job, I don’t agree with it, but it is how most think. Don’t come for me bc like I said, I DONT’T AGREE WITH IT in a situation like this.
People only appreciate the paramedics and rescue personnel once they are needed. I have been in an explosion, and I am genuinely thankful for the ambulance personnel who took care of me and transported me to the hospital.
-+And even then a lot of the times the appreciation that their lives were saved went to the doctors and nurses. My life has been saved once by paramedics when I was in anaphylactic shock and a few times by the doctors. I was a paramedic for 10 years and an RT (respiratory therapist) for 5 years and there were a few times we got acknowledged for saving life. Once when I was a paramedic student at the hospital for clinicals we had an older lady who had lung cancer and she went into cardiac arrest. We were still early in the program so I couldn’t intubate anyone or start an IV or push drugs yet so I did most of the CPR and she survived. I went to see her on another day I had clinicals and the nurses who had her told her that the doctor and myself saved her life. I told her we all did. We worked as a team. She sent me a card in the mail. I still have it to this day over 20 years later.
In my country (Germany) it's always the drivers responsibility to make sure it's save. Lights and Sirens are good tools to use but if you run through an intersection on a red light and there's an accident you are responsible. The first thing I learned about driving the ambulance was that every time I put light and sirens on, one of my feet is in the grave and one in jail. We never had private talks in these situations. Only the facts about the incident relied by the passenger to the driver as they can't read them while driving and maybe a short talk about which equipment to bring
@@brianjohnson5995 I don't know if I am the right person for that. But even besides that, I have diabetes and the extra fee it would cost me for my insurance to cover the cost of medical treatment in the us is so ridiculously high, that your country, despite being very interesting, is on my "too expensive" list.

That ambulance driver was totally at fault here. He was concentrating on trying to have a conversation, that his partner didn't want, instead of paying attention to the road.
While I agree that the ambulance driver should have been paying MUCH more attention to the road (and it was an inappropriate conversation to be having at that time), if the bus ran a red light, it would be the busses fault, so without knowing that piece of information we can't just assign fault to the ambulance driver.
@@staceyrashkin2609 traffic can't just magically get out of the way instantly. Something like a bus is not exactly maneuverable. They were driving recklessly and not paying proper attention to the traffic around them.
Speeding through downtown traffic, sirens going, looking at everything but the road, and chatting at his partner like a fool; was there any other outcome?
I was driving through the mountains with my grandchildren, age 7 and 8 as I recall, when we came upon a scene where an RV had rolled off the road with a family in it. RV bits and pieces, and possessions everywhere. Others were directing traffic and ambulances and police on scene. The kids were young so all wide eye'd. I didn't want them to be scared about the injured people so as we rounded the corner I waved my arm towards the clearing which had air ambulances and I told them to look at the cool helicopters and a very stern voice came from my grandson "Eyes on the road grandma!" They were, but he was making sure. Got to teach them young for it to stick.
RIGHT,LIKE WATCH THE ROAD,IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE TALKING TO SOMEONE OR WHATEVER,BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK INFRONT OF YOU,ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE THE DRIVER❗️❗️
You can actually talk to the passengers while looking at the road. It's not rocket science. Do drivers think passengers can't hear them if they are facing forward? 🤔 😂
The ambulance entered into a blind intersection without making sure it was safe to do so. The bus had absolutely no chance to stop in time. This is why ambulances slow down before going through a red light.
@kaeldare and that's the point to the sirens. The world is supposed to slow down to see where they're coming from to be able to stop and/or pull over. I agree, the ambulance driver wasn't paying enough attention, but considering the amount of extra training bus drivers have to go through to get that class of license, they should know that better than others.

I haven't been driving for long, probably 2 nearly 3 years but I cannot look to my left or right for long while moving or I start to veer.

@@jules3048 I have this complete series called Trauma on DVD that this scene is from+ yes even though she was injured pretty badly she ended up having to have an emergency surgery because she injured her Splene and lost a lot of blood but Luckily yes she did survive.

But eventually him and his paramedic partner had to spend a little time in the hospital but eventually they both were ok + back to work . So that was good 😊😊😊
EMT here. The partner driving the ambulance is at fault. Yes we are legally allowed to exceed speed limits and pass through red lights but we are LEGALLY required to do it with "due regard" for the people and vehicles around us, especially at a red light. We have to treat red lights like stop signs and make sure that the cars have actually stopped for us. Its even protocol where I work to have the person driving check left and the passenger to ensure the right side of the road has stopped before proceeding. This is to ensure we all remain safe. At my place of employment if you fail to do this and it results in an accident, especially one that critically injures anyone, you are subject to immediate termination and legal repercussions.
When an Ambulance has Flashing Lights and Siren the bus driver should have made sure the intersection was clear so and don't you realize the DMV handbook when Emergency Vehicles has Flashing Lights or Siren you need to pull over the right if you don't you can get a citation!
Sorry but the ambulance driver was 100% at fault. The light was red and he was required to make sure that it was safe to enter the intersection before proceeding instead he blindly drove into the intersection without slowing. I live near a hospital in LA and every time I have seen an ambulance with lights and sirens enter an intersection against a red light, they will either perform a rolling stop or come to a complete stop before crossing. The ambulance driver effectively drove out of a blind alley at speed leaving little to no time for moving vehicles to stop. The DMV handbook says when you SEE a vehicle with flashing lights and sirens you should pull over. The corner building would have limited the bus driver's line-of-sight and how much of the siren reached the bus driver. By the time the bus driver saw him it was too late for him to stop in time. Courts have repeatedly ruled that lights and sirens don't automatically give emergency vehicles the right to drive in an unsafe manner.
It also tells you to keep your eyes on the road. The blame will probably fall on the poor bus driver and not the Ambulance driver. Just because they have sirens on doesn’t change that, he could’ve hit a pedestrian or a car. If wasn’t looking at her then he probably would’ve saw the bus and maybe found a way to avoid it, but I doubt either being able to stop in time.
Gcs 12, but she's talking, eyes are open and she's able to follow commands? They are just saying words. She's obviously GCS 15. Injured first responders are always to be immediately removed from the scene.
@@FloodExterminatornah the ambulance is actually at fault. Even though they have a siren on they are supposed to slow down at every light and look both ways first. They were just plowing through lights hoping everyone stopped.
@@FloodExterminator No, the ambulance driver is at fault because he wasn't paying attention to the road. If he was paying attention to the road, he would have probably noticed the bus and manoeuvred out of the way.
Maybe if the ambulance driver was paying attention to his job instead of flirting like a high schooler maybe he would've seen the huge bus coming his way
@@svnshin3xi151 I get that ur allowed to if they’re in pain. But what if they r refusing treatment as it seems here? Isn’t it also first do no harm? If they absolutely don’t want it ud b doing more harm than good imo. They prob have reasons for not wanting it…
I work for EMS when you go through a red light even with your sirens is considered a privilege not a right. I’m afraid this driver has to show the upmost caution I believe believe he was wrong in this case.
It has legal right of way but it's also incumbent on the driver of that ambulance to be as cautious as possible. He blew through that intersection and because of the Doppler effect the bus may not have heard it coming. Once you see an emergency vehicle it has right of way, but legally the emergency vehicle is obligated to give you a chance to even at least see them coming.
How is it that this video doesn't have to be censored yet police body cam footage has to be censored on the most minor injuries ever? Someone, please explain how that works to me.
both medic that was driving wasnt paying attention and kept turning to his partner about if she had a guy in her life instead of paying attention to the road
This is what happens when you don't pay attention keep your eyes on the road.. and the whole thing is the ambulance drivers fault I will be really surprised if he does not lose his job
I hate clips like this, because of how absolutely ridiculous they are! Ambulances aren't fire trucks, we don't have headsets like that. Okay, someone might, but I've never seen it. How fast was the bus traveling if it had the power to tip the ambulance and then proceed to crush another car? Way faster than would be allowed on any road. And, the bus would need to have been built out of solid tungsten to have the momentum needed to keep going after hitting that is effectively stationary, because it's not traveling in the same linier direction. There's plenty of footage showing horrible accidents with emergency vehicles out there. There's no need to dramatize something that is already traumatic.
One of the biggest rules in triage: Other rescuers that aren't green, are always red. Even if they're grey or black. Get them off scene first, unless they are well enough to help.
For a Start Dude when your Driving you shouldn't be talking to anyone..... just Focusing on the Road... but I also hate that the Bus also comes out of Nowhere and T-Bones the Side like doesn't know there's Flashing Light and Sirens on and just Rams right into it! yeah I hate how this Video already Starts.....

@@FloodExterminator No, the ambulance driver is at fault because he wasn't paying attention to the road. If he was paying attention to the road, he would have probably noticed the bus and manoeuvred out of the way.
Ambulance driver at fault, flirting with his partner not paying attention with his driving and his surroundings.
it was both of their faults, ambulances have a right of way but the driver wasn't paying attention
That ambulance staff is totally at fault here. She should have just said she'd go on a date with him and she wouldn't have been dying.
Maybe if the ambulance driver was paying attention to his job instead of flirting like a high schooler maybe he would've seen the huge bus coming his way
All of this because someone couldn't keep their eyes on the road..
Was he allowed to give her morphine after she repeatedly said no?
That’s a great question
@@jules3048I assume yes because of the amount of pain she is in but I’m not certain I’m not a paramedic so I’m not positive
yes he is, im a student paramedic and if the patient is in extreme and unbearable pain, we are allowed to give morphine
@@svnshin3xi151 I get that ur allowed to if they’re in pain. But what if they r refusing treatment as it seems here? Isn’t it also first do no harm? If they absolutely don’t want it ud b doing more harm than good imo. They prob have reasons for not wanting it…
Yes they are. I'm a retired medical examiner and Forensic Pathologist. It's actually very common in trauma cases.
Dr. Mike should react to this 👇
I love this video!!!!
That Ambulance driver caused a pile up because he wasn't paying attention to the road
People take this in to consideration when driving
The paramedic that became the patient.
Ambulance had right of way. Sirens and lights
Which season and episode is this
It's in the description. Trauma Season 1 Episode 6 ' Home Court'.
Look what distracted driving does.
Ambulance wasn't looking at the road but also lights and sirens is right of way. My opinion both were at fault
Initially, talking, taking eyes off road while driving, NOT good behavior for trauma team!
Ambulance went through the red light at speed
where can i find this show?
What show is this?
When an ambulance has its sirens on it always has the right of way. The bus was in the wrong.
I work for EMS when you go through a red light even with your sirens is considered a privilege not a right. I’m afraid this driver has to show the upmost caution I believe believe he was wrong in this case.
It has legal right of way but it's also incumbent on the driver of that ambulance to be as cautious as possible. He blew through that intersection and because of the Doppler effect the bus may not have heard it coming. Once you see an emergency vehicle it has right of way, but legally the emergency vehicle is obligated to give you a chance to even at least see them coming.
When you don't even look where you're going, sirens or no, when going through a red lighted intersection... You're in the wrong.
you no nothing
@@emt2281 least they know how to spell

WHAT IS THE ACTUAL NAME OF THE SHOW????????? AND WHAT SEASON AND EPISODE????????
Si ese es el vídeo original, no se nesesita más información. Iba más concentrado en la plática que en su trabajo.
I hate clips like this, because of how absolutely ridiculous they are! Ambulances aren't fire trucks, we don't have headsets like that. Okay, someone might, but I've never seen it.
How fast was the bus traveling if it had the power to tip the ambulance and then proceed to crush another car? Way faster than would be allowed on any road. And, the bus would need to have been built out of solid tungsten to have the momentum needed to keep going after hitting that is effectively stationary, because it's not traveling in the same linier direction.
There's plenty of footage showing horrible accidents with emergency vehicles out there. There's no need to dramatize something that is already traumatic.
One of the biggest rules in triage: Other rescuers that aren't green, are always red. Even if they're grey or black. Get them off scene first, unless they are well enough to help.
a bit ironic, isnt it?
What did the taxi do to you 😭
These frontliners are unprofessional and like don't know what to do, just for the sake of a show.
For a Start Dude when your Driving you shouldn't be talking to anyone..... just Focusing on the Road...
but I also hate that the Bus also comes out of Nowhere and T-Bones the Side like doesn't know there's Flashing Light and Sirens on and just Rams right into it! yeah I hate how this Video already Starts.....
FOR A START DUDE WHEN YOUR DRIVING YOU SHOULDNT BE
