OMG! I missed a step on my semi tractor, and hit the ground hard, but after a couple min. I picked myself up, brushed myself off, and went back to finish my day. It hurt like hell, but that was two yrs ago. and I'm still here. But that description hurt.
I fully agree. The Brits are super polite and empathetic. Very focused on their patient's overall well-being (including that of the close family) And these guys are very verbal comunicating the injuries that they see and treat and they are so very professional. I salute them. Much love to these men and women. Well done ❤❤❤❤
@Big_Dog2303 well done for sure. I have to give a shout-out to Emergency Responders in the U.S. as well. I was being loaded on an ambulance but they made the decision to call in a helicopter to transport me because time was critical. But most importantly, THANK YOU TO ALL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD. The work you do is so important! Not just for the ones being treated but for the families and friends that love and need the ones that are treated. ❤️❤️❤️
That last guy is so lucky, holy sh@t. Spikes could have hit the spine and so many other organs and hes up and walking around. Amazing. Great work everyone
Having a Dr on scene doesn’t do any good, they can’t do anything I can’t… we have intubation, port ultrasound sound in some areas , chest tubes surgical cric, they same medications
To those of you who can handle it, my hats off to you. You are needed. I wish nothin but the best for you. Saving someone must be rewarding. Jus keep it cool. I might need you someday.
Omg the crash details and seeing the car.. this is so so similar to an accident that took 4 of my friends in 2002, friends I'd known since kindergarten or and sooner!
As a first responder (fire, ems) in the US in really concerns me how long it takes for them to extract critical patients and the lack of cribbing and stabilization they use on the vehicle. It can tip at any moment.
For a first responder (fire, ems) you're not very observant are you. The car HAS been stabilised, if you bothered to look properly, it's concerning that as fire/ems you can't see it. The front wheels are either side of the tree bracing the front, immediately to the left is a yellow strut providing further stabilisation, underneath the car is an airbag providing further stabilisation. You can guarantee that on the other side of the car there will be further stabilisation. If the car was unstable, they would not have been able to climb on top & pull the driver out, remember that in the UK we drive on the left, with the driver on the right. As for the time to get them out, they were critically injured & TRAPPED, we don't just drag people out, causing them further damage. There was a doctor there (before the air ambulance doctor arrived), as well as critical care paramedics who would have been treating & keeping those casualties alive. I could go on & on, but can't be bothered, except to say, these are specialist rescue teams who know exactly what they are doing. Lastly, for fire/emt your knowledge is worryingly low, & I'm glad that when I was trapped following a rollover RTA it,was in the UK & not the US.
The poor gentleman that was impaled by his fence and said his pain level was only a 6 he’s a 🦁 that’s tough he definitely has a high tolerance to pain that’s for certain and the other elderly man falling glad he’s ok as well. Here in Alaska we have what’s called “Community Connection” the employees are assigned a couple elderlys to go and cook do chores grocery shop etc., and if they need their lawn mowed or snow shoveled it’s taken care of and also Mon-Fri they get a hot lunch delivered if they don’t want to go to the KIC for lunch everything is free of service to them, it’s hard to believe that in 3 years I’ll be 65 😮 only time I feel 62 is when I’m hurting I like to stay active and keep at a healthy weight and I have no RX’S that I need to take no high blood pressure no diabetes I’m not overweight nor under I don’t drink nor take RX pain meds I have 1 and I vape I quit smoking cigarettes over a year ago and am working on not vaping anymore , the more we treat our bodies like a temple the healthier we’ll live and longer and quit eating boxed and frozen foods start cooking homemade it doesn’t have to be elaborate just as long as it’s healthy and treat yourself and keep it a treat I love making Mac n cheese we all have ; milk cheese and butter in our fridge and it has our vitamin D if you live where there isn’t alot of sunny days eat dairy and take a vitamin D fortified with vitamin C but read the labels inexpensive vitamins can have excess crap we don’t need and powders and gels are better then them hard vitamins the big ones only half goes into your system the rest are lodged in your large intestines even the multivitamins in a powdered form that you make like a smoothie are awesome vitamins have come a long ways eat lots of greens not ice berg lettuce it’s ok for a sandwich but spinach leafy lettuce collard greens kale are excellent I like lightly oiling a cookie sheet and putting fresh kale on squeeze fresh lemon on it and sprinkle Mrs. Dash lemon pepper or whatever you like and bake it til Kale is crunchy yum yum yum oh bake at 300’ for 5-15 min til crispy also baby carrots steamed to crunchy soft in a pan use 2 tablespoons real butter squeeze some fresh lemon in it and grade a little bit of its skin and then put in some fresh mint maybe 4-6 sprigs and then add drained baby carrots toss and serve immediately with your dinner 😋sorry it was such a long comment it wasn’t my intention 😝🥰
@amystaggs5303 I was actually thinking it was a good neutral way to phrase it because A) it is entirely possible for a car to crash for reasons outside of the driver's control and B) assigning blame or passing judgement is not the point of this program- it's about the compassionate and heroic work of the people in emergency services.
@@pattyk734 A few times. But while our EMTs and Paramedics are great, they simply haven't the time nor education compared to those in the UK. Often, they have no choice but to leave you in pain due to their protocols. They're good people. It's just that their level of care is different.
A physician needs to be the one to administer (or order) pain medication like morphine in the U.S. Medics (EMT's) are not allowed to administer pain meds in the U.S. unless the ambulance has a physician aboard and that isn't usual except perhaps, in a massive disaster where meds in the field are imperative, and a physician will go with the emergency vehicle or ambulance to the scene. Years ago, when medics were in constant contact by phone with a M.D. in the emergency department of the hospital. the doctor could tell the medic by phone to start an IV and administer MS or (morphine sulfate) to the patient. Today, with opiates and opioids such an issue. it is usually the protocol of the medics in the U.S., to transport the victim to the hospital STAT for immediate treatment.
@@flawedexistence the UK’s air ambulance service is amazing! It is all funded by corporate donations and is no cost to the patient. It always has a physician on board for critical care. The doctors rotate their care. They also often give ketamine to accident victims as pain relief
British first responders seem much more compassionate & caring than their American counterparts. In the US most of them are cold & detached. They act like it's just a job & no need for being polite. Some treat you like an inconvenience even though they're being paid to care for you.
@@Denise-t4z I agree. I’m an American and have worked in EMS my entire adult life. I find the more documentaries I watch, the more I realize I should be working in the UK. American responders are burnt out. It’s a terrible thing to see.
@pattyk734 I'm in North Carolina. I've only dealt with hard working, caring and the nicest people in First Responders. I worked in a major trauma center for 26 years. I've seen First Responders so distraught and crying after horrible accidents. Deaths or very serious injuries of children are the hardest on everyone .. I've worked with the best of the best. Not once did I come across a First Responder who acted like they didn't care, exact opposite. Our trauma center supports 20 counties... 120 mile radius. I see a comment about burn out. That I have seen from 1st Responders to nurses, to doctors... we all see lives changed forever, families torn apart. Yet it's our choice to work in this field. To save lives is our #1 goal...
@@mickieswendsen1302 could be distance, traffic? Availability of a helo? That is a long time however impressive that the UK has doctors on the life flights.
Today, at least in the U.S., "Life Flight" helicopters are needed and used for fast transport to the hospital, if there is heavy traffic or any other impediment to getting the victim to the hospital within that "golden hour!"
Wait wait wait. Hold on a second, the story about the gentleman falling off the roof: is that a tourniquet with a slide lock 😮 what futuristic there isn't an elastic knot tied to the patient like a balloon end amazing bull poop is going on in the UK here?
Wow. The Brits do emergency care very differently. When calls come in we usually scramble an ambulance right away, rather than waiting for the responders to make the call. Whatever happened to the Golden Hour? And one patient with a critical injury had been given care for some time and the responder still hadn’t taken a BP or other measurements? How interesting.
I suppose you could become hardened and cop the attitude that the "dumb s.o.b. was askin for it, and it was his fault", but whaddya say when its children? I couldnt hack that.

Decapitations, disembowelments, etc. Etc. Dont volunteer, if you aint got the stomach for it.
