    After having worked ems for years in the US its amazing the difference in care under a not for profit medical system. Every single one of these cases would likely bankrupt these people if having occurred in the US, even down to how they treat pain is on a totally different level. Money should not be any part of treatment from emergency to final treatment, but here in the US that the main focus with care being the secondary...

      I was recalling how on an ambulance ride they told me they couldn't give me pain medicine, only the ER could. I figured the reason why is they want my insurance info first. I've been sitting in the ER before throwing up from pain and they won't give you anything until the ER doctor sees you and that can be hours. It's also very costly. I live 3mins from the hospital so I've been driven and dropped off and have dropped people off who live nearby. No one wants the ambulance bill.

      I agree with T Johnson here and want to clarify…Although the focus of the EMS SYSTEM in the US needs improvement, our EMS responders demonstrate genuine dedication to their profession and typically, their primary concern is excellent patient care. Seeing how the UK’s system works gives me that much more respect for US responders, as they navigate a very tricky balance between what the system expects and what they know their patients need. Their sacrifice isn’t lost on me & my gratitude runs deep. 💕

      I think that's so sad that people don't go there because of the lack of money. Our health insurance is mandatory, about a 100 euro's eacht month and then pretty mucht everything is covered. There is a part that's called 'own risk' which is 385 euro's a year which you have to pay if you need it and everything above that is for the insurance company.

Winters are also very humid and windy, so the cold bites a lot more than the temperature would indicate.

    How crazy is it that we in the US are forced to do a costs/benefits analysis when we have a traumatic event?
    I can still recall the time I went ill, in a remote area of Oregon, and they told me I ws going to need to be life-flighted to a larger area for life-saving Emergency. I was so full of pain killers that I sort of waved them off.

    The guy who fell should have had his neck and back braced as well as possible. I had a friend in college who fell a short distance, but it broke his neck and a few bones in his spine. He got up and was walking around which caused him to be paralyzed from the waste down. Thankfully the injury healed, but it took years to get him back to about 80% of his ability to walk. Always brace the neck.
    I love how the soldiers were available and jumped straight in to help them. It's good real life experience.

      It is why it is advised not to move trauma victims. Paramedics are trained to follow these rituals as they will save accidents victims, from more damage to their bodies. First things first.....stop the hemorrhage ! contain and maintain the body. Fluff comes later. They are not focussed on social "support" of family members. Their shrinks will deal will it, later. Usually, life has a way to move on, leaving these scars behind. More will come in the future. It is life !!!!

    • @sorayaimperial
      @sorayaimperial 3 года назад +27

      The neck was braced. They did manual immobilization first and c-collar next, while he was sitting in a 90º angle. Then, they used a backboard for spinal immobilization and transport. They did allow him to sit down on his own, instead of using a special device... which is in agreement with newest evidence that backboards and extraction vest shouldn't be used in all cases nor should you manipulate the victim too much, because the victim can better sense if something is hurting and protect the neck (instead of the Paramedic moving himself the neck on a fully flat angle that may cause even more injury). We do learn what we call orthostatic immobilization, and we use extraction vest for sitting patients, but evidence has shown that these techniques are woefully outdated and may not benefit the spinal immobilization at all.
      When I was in a car crash, being in a backboard for about an hour and having a c-collar on for hours was probably what caused a compression in my cervical spine, because I was just incredibly uncomfortable all the time and not in an anatomically correct position for me. I would've protected my spine better in another type of equipment (such as a coquille, for example), than the backboard and c-collar did. Spinal immobilization is not a risk exempt technique. This was a valid case for the approach that they did and I wouldn't have done anything differently.

      My mom had a friend in college that got drunk fell three stores from a deck, got up and walked inside to a sofa laughing and laid on the sofa and continued to drink. He woke up the next morning (still drunk at this point) he went to stand to go pee and said he experienced pain like he had never felt before. A friend drove him to the hospital, he almost passed out from having to sit. He had shattered his pelvis and the entire ball and socket of one hip. Took him almost a year to walk unaided after. He had to have the broken hip and femur replaced and has so many bolts and rods in his hips. When my mom was telling me the story I was so worried about his neck and back but they ended up being fine. I can’t believe the idiot SAT in a car, much less did not call for an ambulance and stay still when he felt the pain. Doctors said he was lucky his bone chips had not opened an artery.

      @@hientrinh590 If the car was almost stopped when it hit you, so just giving you a small nudge, it will be qualified as a fall in our system. Meaning that any potential damage that you have is not from the car hitting you (so trauma to the abdomen, lower extremities, extreme violent kinetic energy, etc), but the fall that you took afterwards. If it was a fast car, the prevalent mechanism of injury will be the car impact. If a fast car throws you off a cliff, you'll have polymechanism injuries, consistent with both car impact AND fall.
      In a fall (not a runover), it's the stop that hurts. Even in a car crash, what creates injuries is the fact that you suddenly stop, but your brain keeps travelling forward and then bounces around; a car crash at 100km/h where you DON'T suddenly stop is less deadly than a car crash at 60km/h where you DO suddenly stop (reason why dampening barriers work in car races: you don't stop as fast). Same with a fall where you bump your head, that's how you get a concussion (and even possibly die) from a minor fall.

There was no saving the limb due to the crushing pressure of the machine. I always felt so bad for him.

      Reminds me of a case I got a few years back. Working my very first day as a private EMT in a big concert (I was a Fire EMT by a few years then). They are still putting up the structure, so no big stuff should happen, just minor sprains, or someone dropping a box on their foot. At worse, some rigger drops a few metres and bumps his helmeted head on the frame.
      The garbage truck comes in, just a municipal car, not related in any way to the venue. Suddenly, trashman loses half his wrist operating the machine and we have to run all the damn way over from the other side of the venue (the bit where the bins were stationed were not part of our hired space). Turns out that that specific part of the machine that can eat your limbs out should have a protective part to prevent that from happening; but since it made a weird noise and needed to be lubed and maintained regularly, some bright mind took the protective part out. Also, I knew that trashman from other minor accidents (he worked in my firehouse area) and he was more often than not drinking a bit too much at lunch.
      A sober person wouldn't have lost his wrist. A drunk person operating the machine with the damn protective part wouldn't have lost his wrist. All was wrong that day.

Where I live is in one of the wealthiest counties in Florida. When paramedic arrived I was in shock and my leg had skin and muscle torn off my Achilles tendon was lying on the street and my left ankle was in a position that wasn’t possible. Our paramedics do not carry pain meds. Our ambulances do not carry anything to safely scoop and secure what my leg had on the street. My neighbor found a box and cut the box open to use. Unbelievable. I watch these shows and I can’t believe it. Mind you that was just 6 years ago. I was airlifted to the best trauma center and my experience with their medics was night and day.
