im a type 1 diabetic and during one visit to A&E i almost went into a coma after waiting 5 hours without being seen because i wasnt a 'priority' the NHS might be understaffed but the people who admit you need more training to identify serious problems
Honestly, the American Hospital system is EXCLUSIVELY private, and EVERYTHING cost a fortune. One my brother popped his arm out of his shoulder socket, and when the nurse was having my mom move his arm for the X-Ray she accidentally popped it back in. The X-Rays were never taken, and after 3 fucking hours of waiting, came back with a $400 hospital bill. Go America. We are best, or something.
UK: Wait six hours to get told that it's fine and you should just take a painkiller and go home. US: Wait six hours to get told it's fine, you should just take a painkiller and go home, that'll be all your material possessions, and you need to sign this to give us ownership of your soul once you die. If I had the option, I'd face long wait times any day over having absolutely no chance of getting treatment for something EVER because I can't afford it. But it's not a choice between those in the first place. Privatized healthcare means long wait times and corners cut to save money, AND it makes you broke. But, I guess we should just keep letting people die of easily curable conditions because they don't have enough green paper. Because anything else would be COMMUNISIM.
You'll find most nations with average or better healthcare tend to mix private and public. Generally that's how I think most stuff should run, but eh, that means I'm a capitalist pig or communist scum according to some.
Thing is that by having public government based hospitals they create a cost baseline for medical procedures. The government basically strongarms the insurance companies into being reasonable.
The exact same thing happened to my sister when she was 7 years old, and she broke her ankle really badly and it took her almost 15 years to fully recover and her ankle is still weak even now. You got lucky!
Sips, your explaination of the gal bladder pain is actually enough to get myself checked out because ive been experiencing the exact same thing, and its fucking awful thank you my god the sore stomach with no nausea is ass thank you triforce.
Listening to this while I take my Spanish Final. Sips describing his childhood of heartburn and gall bladder problems, I am currently waiting for mine to be removed for the exact same reason, trapped gas and all. Thanks so much guys!
This podcast is amazing. It is a small slice of life of 3 interesting if not strange individuals. Keep up the amazing work, I absolutely love you 3 beautiful bastards.
the people who leave the keystroke noise on watched a lot of star trek and loved all the scenes where theyre tapping away on a padd or pressing buttons or something
Generally. We do miss some stuff, usually with things like abdominal pain (could be gastritis, could be AAA, who knows! You get an acuity 3 whee) unless you look pretty awful. With cut and dry injuries if you're stable you wait. Honestly it makes me mad when people get up in my face about their wait times after I spent hours taking care of an unstable asthmatic or something. Yeah I know your knee hurts but you're breathing buddy.
where I live you rarely go straight to the emergency room, unless it's a clear emergency. In most cases you will go to your doctor first and he will make sure you go to the right place. It's way better that way.
I've gone through a bunch of symptoms this month, been to the ER three times (spit up blood, chest and shoulder pain), main hospital at the heart clinic once (they said it was a heartsac virus), in for an x-ray (to check for lung cancer), the GP and a gastro surgeon for an endoscopy (to check for an ulcer - it sucked balls). I still have chest pains and occasionally spit up blood. Don'tmake my mistake and be patient, don't be a "team player", complain as much as you can and don't accept bullshit answers from the doctors. They have an education and experience, but they jump to conclusions and default to "it's probably just this" when they don't know what's wrong, in the hopes of you getting better in the meanwhile.
When I was in 7th grade, a girl at my middle school died because her appendix bursted when she was waiting in the ER for a nurse to look at her. The school did the proper thing and said if anyone needed it they hired a couple of grief counselors for people who know her or were generally upset, mainly because a student died.
Over here in the states if it doesn't take at least three hours it's a miracle. I had cellulitis. I knew I had it. I went in when it was completely dead. I dealt with the receptionist. I stated "I have cellulitis, these are the symptoms, all I need are antibiotics." Two hours later a doctor rolled around and looked at it for five seconds then gave me the antibiotics.
I know Pyrion won't read this but I had the literal experience he described with appendicitis in January. I went to the GP 2 times describing my symptoms and then about 5 days later I was still felt horrible so I went to A&E and sat there for about 2 hours throwing up in agony. By the time I saw a doctor and had a bed my appendix had perforated and infected fluid pockets were filling the area around it and forming abscesses to the point where I couldn't get surgery. So I had to deal with a perforated appendix and agony for an extra week in hospital whilst on strong antibiotics simply because a specialist wouldn't see me before a receptionist.
After having been to England and come back to Australia, hearing Lewis saying "I went into a Caffe Nero yesterday..." is really exciting for some reason XD
Pflax if she’s not comfortable on the back of the bike (way safer than the bar), just buy two of those little foot rest to put on your wheel axis. It helped my little sister when this happened. I’m Dutch btw so this happened to literally everybody I know. Not a big deal but might be a good idea to get the foot rests. Must be available on Amazon.
I was riding my bike once, fell off it and my knee got cut opened and I had to wait for about 3hrs for a x-ray(to see if anything went inside my knee) and another 3hrs to get it stitched up
I broke 2 toes recently, by slipping down the stairs (my last two toes on my left foot got caught on a bannister and just thwipped back). I didn’t even go into a&e because there is nothing they can really do for a broken toe so I just wrapped it in duct tape and a bandage to straighten it out.
Alot of Drs in America have urgent cares or there are just urgent cares related to hospitals. Which are one step before the E.R which you still have to spend six hrs at if you go
I was once in an A&E for 4 hours sat across from a girl with a Peppa Pig soundboard. The same 5 seconds audio clip. Over and over. Over and over. Forever. Playing in my head. I can hear it on the back of my eyelids.
come to the US where half the women you know are registered nurses, you still wait 8 hours, they give you a band aid, and then they charge you $500 for the bandaid!
New Zealand has public and private A&E's (Accident and Emergency center's) Which seems to work just fine. not sure why there wouldn't be private ones elsewhere.
My dad has a critical illness and he went to a&e and he had to wait for 8 hours before he was seen to then let go. And the next day his consultant saw the files and whisked him in for 3 weeks.
The point about the hospital system is 100% right. When I had to take my mum to the hospital because she tried to overdose on pills after discovering my dad had an affair. We told the receptionist what the problem was and still hadn't been seen by a doctor almost two hours later. While I was desperately trying not to let my mum fall asleep my grandma went to the receptionist and told her the problem again explaining how ridiculous it was we hadn't been seen yet. It was ONLY THEN the receptionist asked what the drugs were, and when we explained they were Beta Blockers (designed to slow down your heart rate) we were seen to immediately. What Pyrian is talking about is absolutely right, the system we have in determining queues is ridiculous.
I don't know about the UK but the public ER sounds exactly the same as here. Over here in the asshole of Europe (romania)I have a paid subscription to a private chain of hospitals and their ER is specialized in pediatrics, so no waiting over an hour. The state run ones are hell on earth.
When I was 9, I had an appendicitis as well. I had a diagnosis from my doctor and yet I sat at A&E for 4 hours, screaming my lungs to shit. Then it took them another 5 hours to get a surgeon ready and the day after they told my mum "yeah, it would have bursted in 15 minutes or so"
I've listened to all the podcasts many times. Especially the original yogpods consistently for years now. Can even remember trying to e-mail the yogpod back in the days as a young yognaut. Keep up the good content :D I really enjoy it. Also bring back simon :) at least as a guest plzzzzzzzzzzz
i was going down a steep hill in my street and i had my legs off the peddles failing around and my leg some how got caught in the spokes of my wheel and i go flying like 7 feet over my handle bars and role another meter and all the skin on my arms, legs, solders, elbows and knees was gone.
If it makes you feel better pflax, I'm training as a children's nurse atm and as routine we ask if the family is known to social services/has a social worker as well as their school so they can both be informed of the admission when they write the discharge summary
I went in with a heart problem and waited in the A&E waiting area for 12hours. I went in at 10 the night before and had to stay the whole night with no-one even being able to say what was going on. I ended up missing some mock tests the next day because I was still waiting in A&E to see someone.
My one buddy went in with a heart attack and they made him wait a week because the heart specialist was on vacation, so he had to come back after he was "stabilized". They ended up doing surgery on him because he had severe blockage and had a second heart attack prior to the surgery.
Once I got my arm stuck in the seatbelt somehow and when I got out the car I took the seatbelt out the door with me, my mum being a genius decided “I’m going to drive away now” and I had to run down the street bashing against the window but she didn’t notice I was still ‘attached’ to the car.
My experience in the hospital was really bad I had been called for an emergency I had to have a blood test cause something was wrong with me and I waited an hour just to have anesthetics put on me so they could take some blood and even then by the time they got back to me to take the blood anesthetics had worn off and they had to put it on again this happened about 4 times also had to wait like 4 hours to be put into a room. When I shared this with my psychology class people including the teacher shared their stories.
Reminds me of the time i hurt my hand during PE at school and the nurse told me that i must have just hit it on something real hard and badly bruised, it was swollen and hurt but i sucked up. When i got home my mum was worried and said i needed to go to A&E.. after 3 hours waiting for the X-ray results they just said i was fine and it was badly bruised.. 3 Days later i got a call telling me the doctor who reviewed it was wrong, i've broken and we need you to come back so we can put a cast on it.. Well Fuck me, thanks for the expert opinion NHS xD
I broke my foot three weeks ago, had to wait a few hours to be seen but as soon as they saw my jacked up foot I was outta there with an x-ray, cast and a follow up appt booked like wham bam thank you ma'am
I am really appreciating these regular episodes! Thanks so much guys it's super awesome to have some regular triforce during exams.
Yup Midterms are much easier with these guys to listen to!
During thesis as well, even when my native language is spanish (>.>)
I'm so mad they started uploading these regularly as soon as finals came around. Fuck you Lewis.

Now that's some good, consistent U̶N̶O̶ Triforce
This kind of makes me want to see Pyrion as a guest on Uno
Hey Triforce bois I am your biggest fan - not in terms of liking your videos -- im just literally physically the most spherical and large fan you have
But do you have 3 long blades spinning at your centre?
But do you have 4 vastly different ecosystems at your centre?

wow
Now I'm really spoiled, keep it coming bois
Only in England can you talk for a full 50 minutes about waiting times 😂😂
Ha!
it's free, but you get what you pay for
This is the real good shit, best thing to come from yogscast
im a type 1 diabetic and during one visit to A&E i almost went into a coma after waiting 5 hours without being seen because i wasnt a 'priority' the NHS might be understaffed but the people who admit you need more training to identify serious problems
No problem guys, thanks for the personalized shout out :D 0:28 lol

Go America. We are best, or something.
UK: Wait six hours to get told that it's fine and you should just take a painkiller and go home.
US: Wait six hours to get told it's fine, you should just take a painkiller and go home, that'll be all your material possessions, and you need to sign this to give us ownership of your soul once you die.
If I had the option, I'd face long wait times any day over having absolutely no chance of getting treatment for something EVER because I can't afford it. But it's not a choice between those in the first place. Privatized healthcare means long wait times and corners cut to save money, AND it makes you broke.
But, I guess we should just keep letting people die of easily curable conditions because they don't have enough green paper. Because anything else would be COMMUNISIM.
You'll find most nations with average or better healthcare tend to mix private and public.
Generally that's how I think most stuff should run, but eh, that means I'm a capitalist pig or communist scum according to some.
There is a 3rd option. NS
Here in murica were too much in debt for us to give out free healthcare and benifits. Were too much in debt to be democratic. Vote Republican.
Thing is that by having public government based hospitals they create a cost baseline for medical procedures. The government basically strongarms the insurance companies into being reasonable.
Yay triforce on my birthday, sweet!
DestinyBlooms Happy Birthday man
The exact same thing happened to my sister when she was 7 years old, and she broke her ankle really badly and it took her almost 15 years to fully recover and her ankle is still weak even now. You got lucky!
Wow, didn't think I'd find a new triforce on my birthday. Best gift all day!
Oh geesh, Pyrion. Best dad ever. Once got my foot stuck in the spokes in the back of a family bicycle and my dad started peddling even harder.
Sips said it the best “Flax doesn’t like it so it needs to be changed”
I love the little recaps you guys give during the episodes. :)
Sips calling our Lewis's passive-aggressiveness was hilarious 39:06. that and the Scroggy 44:18
Sips, your explaination of the gal bladder pain is actually enough to get myself checked out because ive been experiencing the exact same thing, and its fucking awful thank you my god the sore stomach with no nausea is ass thank you triforce.
the constant episodes are amazing. This podcasts makes my Wednesday!
A new podcast... let me close my tab, clear my history and get to it.
Listening to this while I take my Spanish Final. Sips describing his childhood of heartburn and gall bladder problems, I am currently waiting for mine to be removed for the exact same reason, trapped gas and all. Thanks so much guys!
14:35 oof lewis , i can imagine "but what if my daughter was one of those people dying" being a thought that came to flax's head
It's a crime that these don't get more views
I had to wait 6 hours in A&E before I was seen and turns out I had sepsis, it could easily been a death sentence. I completely agree with Pyrion.
This podcast is amazing. It is a small slice of life of 3 interesting if not strange individuals. Keep up the amazing work, I absolutely love you 3 beautiful bastards.
3:41 " Dads are meant to take a few chances" Pflax 2018... and now we know the story for how his first child was born
the people who leave the keystroke noise on watched a lot of star trek and loved all the scenes where theyre tapping away on a padd or pressing buttons or something
I learned ages ago that if you're waiting a long time for your results, it's nothing serious. If it was, they'd see you straight away.
I would trust Ben's Mum to give me life advice

Small detail, but the "loop" in Sips' house that he mentions near the end is clearly the best house design.
Pyrion's phone idea to replace waiting rooms is actually genius.
I think if you want a call back to come into the ER you're probably better off going to an urgent care or calling your primary honestly
After having been to England and come back to Australia, hearing Lewis saying "I went into a Caffe Nero yesterday..." is really exciting for some reason XD
thank god for you guys mentioning turning the god damn key clicks off
this is the most times I've ever heard the words "princess pavilion"
This bring life to me.....thanks jonah, Becky, and tony
@ 4:30 Exact same thing happened to me and my dad. Lost one of my front tooth hehe. Even with him throwing himself underneath me.

It's really surreal to come from listening to the podcast where pflax said that he would die for NHS, and now he is saying he hates it
Ignore me I'm just leaving a comment so I can find this one again. That Pyrion in that waiting room in the hospital was gold

Idk why this makes me laugh so much
I don't even know what to say anymore when these come out
yay triforce! time to uncork the whiskey after a long work day.
My Son had Febrile convulsions when he was tiny too, really scary as a first time parent!

man the foot trapped in the bike spokes brought me nostalgia, i got caught twice in my dad's bike
I can almost physically feel Pyrion's frustration.
I have my keystoke sounds on, but I keep my volume low all the time. The vibrate on key press sucks on Android.
This was a good one
Reminds me of the time i hurt my hand during PE at school and the nurse told me that i must have just hit it on something real hard and badly bruised, it was swollen and hurt but i sucked up. When i got home my mum was worried and said i needed to go to A&E.. after 3 hours waiting for the X-ray results they just said i was fine and it was badly bruised..
3 Days later i got a call telling me the doctor who reviewed it was wrong, i've broken and we need you to come back so we can put a cast on it.. Well Fuck me, thanks for the expert opinion NHS xD
Sips and Pyrion having children so we don't have to
love the triforce listen on reapet everyday on iTunes
That's what a typical A&E department is like. Unless you have a life threatening injury or are on deaths doorstep, you have to wait

The wheels on the bus went round and round
I've been in plenty of emergency rooms, thing is, if you don't appear in immediate danger you typically have to wait for a long time. *shrugs*
