Lynnette Spratley yes they are stellar

No kidding, hey!!☺️

We _do_ have them, actually. We just actually have to _pay_ for the services and a trauma doctor is not a guaranteed crew member.

@@DarkJediPrincess sooo, you don’t have it in the US lol

Their worried about the opioid situation. The drug dealers are getting through Mexico and China

​@@bobzmuda3940 we do but you have to have a pain doctor. Even then they count every pill. If you go to the hospital you can be in excruciating pain and they act like your drug seeking

​@DarkJediPrincess the whole point is trauma doctor that can perform everything 😂

We do have them lmao

Ok. Do they have a doctor on board?

@@ediebaxter4653 Flight nurses and Paramedics. Flight nurses are trained in critical care. They can intubate patients just like these doctors.

@@shifty2129 but they don't give any pain meds.

They do have this in the USA except there is no National Heath plan what so ever because people love privatized health care in the US for some reason.

As a nurse we tend to look for the bracelets fot the necklace is kind of new. So i think its a great idea for you to get on but id lean towards the bracelets

Use non opiate based analgesics, there’s other drugs that we can use like non steroidal anti inflammatories, entonox, sedatives, IV paracetamol is more effective as it works fairly quickly. Also use strong IV anti sickness to counter the nausea/vomiting, if not you’d probably struggle with a lot of these trauma type injuries without ketamine and opiates!

I’d imagine that would make the kits more unwieldy and difficult to get out of a helicopter. There’s nowhere _near_ the kind of space you have even in a dinky regional jet inside the cabin of a helicopter. Plus, you not only have to pull a roller bag out, but then pause to extend the handle to take it with you, then reposition it so you can pull it along behind you. Speed is of the essence in medical emergencies, especially if the emergency is bad enough to warrant calling in an air ambulance. The medical professionals going to treat these patients would be wasting precious seconds with a roller bag, when they can just pull a rucksack kit out, sling it onto their back, and then promptly hop out of the chopper and rush to the patient.

Also it’s much harder to transport over anything that isn’t concrete/tar

@@jimybobjim Yep, at least once an episode they're climbing over a fence, trekking thru a field, etc. Completely impractical

Not only would it be unwieldy, but it would make the bags that much heavier. They bolt those wheels on & the connection has to hold up to bumps & potholes, etc.

I'm surprised she didn't know how to use a can-opener. Wouldn't trust her with my life...

Wow you two sound like you’re really fun at parties huh? 🙄😵‍💫

Have you ever had an asthma attack? Sounds like you don't know...

@@pjcranberry4912 I’ve treated a few over 8 yrs as a medic

got a problem with that ?

Yes. Asthma attacks can be fatal, so they’re considered high-priority medical emergencies.

Asthma is very serious. You can die from an asthma attack.

Your opinion which is respected, you could say human nature some folk are quiet, some not so. She has my respect as a Lt Col @ 101 Field Hospital in her spare time with service in Afghanistan (where I served) using that experience to introduce "Blood on Board" which has saved many more lives, oh and being awarded the OBE in 2018.

Rachel is one of my favorite doctors for all of the reasons that you apparently very judgmentally hate @IwasBlueb4. Not everyone is a sedate robot and she certainly DOES NOT make light of people’s suffering. *You* need to lighten up though and realize it’s ok to be pleasant and still serious at the same time. Also, I highly respect her for all of the reasons that the commenter above stated as well. (@LB-ss6qq thank you for your service, by the way!)

EXACTLY! This is why I do not work in an ER as a nurse. I have no patience for theatrics...

How dare you two low lives minimize the pain and shock of this poor lady....Each pain is different..... Why do you watch this, wreched woman ?

@@ClearwaterKB And I am SO glad for the poor patients that someone like you, with zero empathy, does NOT work as a nurse.... Probably better as a cleaner !

@@IwasBlueb4 I have plenty of empathy and the families of all my pediatric and adult patients adore me. PS, I have been a nurse for over 10 years and worked in healthcare nearly 20.

@@IwasBlueb4 are you just stalking EVERY comment I post on RU-vid? Get a life!

Love that!! That’s what the show should be called!!😃

I know what you mean. I live on the West Coast of Canada and we have spectacular views, but there’s just something about the UK that just amazes you with the beauty that they have mixed in with the history that they have, it’s unbelievable!!☺️

I have only had to call once. They treated me really well. I fell and twisted my knee and couldn't get up. I tried for 45 minutes but I just couldn't do. They were so kind and were willing to take time with me. I'm in the US too. Not everything is the same.

I’m in Canada and I’ve had several ambulance rides. There’s only one time that I felt like taking it out on the driver because he was so ignorant to me and it’s because I’m a type one diabetic and they were called because we had just arrived home from being in Washington, and as soon as we arrived home, I was violently sick and when I checked my blood sugar levels, I was having a diabetic LO and I was getting sick on top of it. He was so mad at me for not having control of my diabetes telling me that he was sick and tired of diabetics not taking care of themselves because he had both his parents that were diabetic and he was always going home and finding them passed out on the floor. He was driving erratically, he was actually, I felt, speeding. The other paramedic told him to slow down and they had to turn off the siren because it was really bad for my head. Then when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor that was on was mad at me because of being a type one diabetic who is having trouble raising her blood sugars. I thought right away she was going to give me an IV was something in it to make me stop, throwing up so violently. That was around 12:30 in the morning and she went on her break and she never returned to take care of me. A nurse came in and she set up the whole IV in my arm, but she didn’t give me anything because the doctor is the only one that could order her to give me, whatever medication they were going to give me. She said even patience couldn’t believe how sick I was and that the doctor hadn’t given me anything. At 6 o’clock in the morning the new doctor came in and when he saw that I didn’t have an IV going he was very concerned. He started one right away gave me this incredible little pill that stopped me from getting sick. I told him that we had been down in Seattle for the day we ate at our favourite restaurant at South Centre Mall and I told him what the other doctor was like and what she said to me about me, not looking after my diabetes. He had some blood work done and found out that I had a very bad virus that was quite severe the way it hit me and had absolutely nothing to do with me being a type one diabetic. I told him I wanted to make a formal complaint about the first doctor that didn’t do anything for me and he said that I shouldn’t worry about it because he himself was going to write up a report against her and it would be going in her file. Don’t worry that’s going to do a lot of damage to her record, he said. That was the only time I was treated that bad. As I’ve mentioned, I had several ambulance drives, and I’ve never received that rude of reception from the ambulance driver or the doctor in the hospital so you could never tell what’s going to happen. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

wow...I find it the exact opposite...high pitched and speech too fast like someone with Bipolar

Yeah I feel a bit light headed now actually 😅 but I think it's good to watch that because if you're ever in a position where you need to administer first aid you won't be as shocked maybe.

I'm a nurse and that's my one ick that I can't handle 🤢

I am very interested in a medical way of what these injuries look like because then I would think how I would put it back together. It doesn’t bother me seeing that kind of injury. You know what really bothers me? When I’m watching a transplant or some operation, and they take the scalpel to make the cut. I cannot handle watching that. I’ll turn my head around until I figure they’ve moved on to the operation part. Since I’ve become a type one diabetic at nine years old and I’ve had it for 53 years now I’ve just about seen, not everything of course, But I’ve just seen a lot of things in the ER and it doesn’t phase me anymore at all.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@@SnowPink90……I can’t watch anybody being given an injection. Can’t watch myself get one, either. Other thing I hate is cleaning up cat vomit. Had no problem cleaning up my babies/toddlers/kids, when they spewed, though. Humans’ are funnily weird, methinks…………
