My oldest son just passed all of his tests and is now a Paramedic! I might get some rude comments BUT....Paramedics/EMTS should be paid just as much as nurses. They're 1st on scence, 1st to administer life supportive measurements and they keep pts alive! They dont get enough credit😢 Thank you for this show❤❤❤
As a first responder thank you for a comment like that and to your son I wish him the best of luck and remind him to celebrate his victories no matter how small because the bad days are gonna be very bad and he needs to feel them when they happen remind him it’s okay to feel his feelings but reach out to his peers and others who can empathize with his experiences. Sounds like he’s got a great mom behind him too so he’s gonna be great! ❤️
Agreed, they’re heroes and basically angels at least when working, some the rest of the time too, and I’d love to do it too if I could, so you can tell him thank you and have a great job&career from all of us
I’m not being mean or rude. I’m a flight nurse with a masters in nursing. I’m a first responder who can and does far more on a scene than EMT/P is trained to do. Do you honestly believe that we should make the pay? I’ve saved many a paramedic from making fatal mistakes. Maybe you truly don’t know what you are talking about. I actually train paramedics in advanced life support, drug that they are allowed to administer, etc. They don’t have half of the training that I do. They play a very important role in what they do. Should they attain equal training and experience, then yes they should. Until then no. You are basing your opinion on feelings not facts. I’m not saying that they aren’t important, because they are. But to honestly look at the facts, there is a HUGE difference between us. If I should ever need to attend to you or one of your loved ones, I hope that you will see the difference. Even nurses at the hospital without my training have far more education, training and abilities than paramedics. You should be proud of your son and his professional accomplishments. But you honestly don’t know the difference or all of the facts.
As a firefighter paramedic the dispatcher is incorrect. If the person is gasping they are in respiratory distress not cardiac arrest. Meaning do not do cpr because the person has a pulse.
If they are gasping but their heart is not beating it is known as "respiratory failure" :) cardiac arrest is when there is no cardiac activity or gasping period and respiratory distress is when there is still a pulse but the breathing is agonal aka distressed. Just learned the difference in EMT class :)
I was trained in CPR as first aid. When people have respiratory distress, they told us that we were to do CPR to keep them breathing normally and supply blood flow to the brain/organs. It was something that at the time was 'newly' imputed. Might be the reason why.
The mom is amazing and the bystander's move that saw it and stopped to help, is really touching. I also hope that the other guy at the car accident lived. Let's see Plus, congratulations to all the medical stuff and police there, because they do their best while saving lifes! They are such sweethearts🥺❤️
Is it the dispatchers first day? Like giving CPR instructions since she knows it's actually a seizure... of course the breathing is different and stuff, but until he completely stops breathing, that's no indication for chest compression. Yeah I know protocols and telephone, but still come on, she's a professional call taker.
To clear up the questions on seizures. As a seizure patient, depending on the degree off seizure your heart will now beat regularly and your breathing can slow down. If a person is not getting the oxygen they need, able to breathe as they should, the heart rate will go too fast or too slow. If someone is not getting enough air and the very rate is too low, they may ask that you step in to help the patient breath or do chest compression if they are not getting enough oxygen.
❤😂❤😂🎉❤❤they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks even around the United states of America great job great team work and good catches as usual still going strong please don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock it's a tough job you do it well thanks it's a service we can't live without god bless you guys thanks !! Joe
Have been watching the show. 3 yrs ago I relied on them to get me to hospital for treatment. I could not have been in better hands.secured my home, and my dog. We had to wait far to long ramping outside of the emergency. Hi time the health department rectified this unacceptable situation. These 4:27 Paramedics need to know that their efforts are not undermined...
Some people are just clueless and still allowed to drive. They would be up in arms and suing because help to their loved one took to long. Wake up people and pay attention to your surroundings.
4:25 Wow it's unfortunate there's no way to 1)grab the guy and pull him 4 or 5 meters, 2)grab your gear and bring it over and 3) have the fire guys move away from the spilled gasoline. 🤷♂🙄
Humanity at it's best all around!!! I implore everyone to learn CPR and how to use an AED, and even BLS....for the Americas......It really do take a village!!!
It’s ridiculous the school they need to go through in Australia…. I can do everything their critical care medics do and some of the flight medic stuff and I don’t need a masters degree… I hope these people get PAID well… like paid as 6-7 years of college should be paid
@@tjlovesrachel 3 years I think is a good amount. We get lots of experience on the job before we start. Some of the best paramedic training in the world, too.
@@Arekasu96 that's wayyyy too long personally... and I'm not doubting the quality of training considering how damm long it takes...and basically what I learned in 12-14 months takes 3 years down there... and from what I understand it takes even more training and time down there to be able to do some run of the mill stuff I could do
@@tjlovesrachelthere’s a lot more to the training than just the clinical skills We have entire units on human lifespan, appropriate cultural healthcare, legal and ethical considerations, emergency mental health care, obstetrics, peads, personal and emotional care and reflection. The degree is designed to produce long term sustainable paramedics who can cope with the job, not just ones who can do the skills themselves
Your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys great catches as usual way to go keep them safe out there job well done you should be amazed and proud love you guys ! Joe
Australia's answer to America's "Emergency!" America has the same problem with indifferent traffic, but an expensive fine hanging over your head will make you move!
Do you guys ever pray for the people you watch on these shows to have long, healthy lives even while knowing the show is years old? I certainly hope so.
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Paramedic Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏 🙏🙏

It’s the new standard here. I’ve had several patients come in to the ED like that. I think because civilians aren’t great at feeling for a pulse so it’s in regards to increasing chances of survival, gasping for air = respiratory arrest so CPR is what’s also required
@@jessice293yeah, but when it's known that the boy has known seizures, that's a different thing. But when the dispatcher is just a call taket and never seen a patient or has to follow protocols, even you know better...
@@jessice293 I guess that makes enough sense but think about all the unnecessarily broken rips and damaged heart and lungs 😭 also the pain the patient is gonna feel, jeez.
Sorry but as an old lady I do not consider someone who is doing a job that they were trained for and they are paid for is a hero. Joe Blog, pizza delivery guy, running into a burning house to save children is a hero.
How long does it take to get used to the sirens or do you use earplugs? I suffer from severe tinnitus and those sirens would cause problems eventially.
@@leilaniglassmyer1111 I mean she probably just follow protocols, but when it's a known seizure patient, there is no indication for cpr, until he really stops breathing. I know a seizure is not easy to see for parents and it looks horrible, but in most cases it's not a cpr indication. Most EMT with a bit off experience know this.
Ohhhh Thank you for that information! I did not know that, I guess I was only referring to how she handled the call so professionally and calm, but I can see where you are coming from. Ya learn something new everyday :) @@RescueNurse
Who wrote this explanation of the show? Whoever did, needs to attend grammar school. "paramedics who respond"S"? to more than 9,000 calls for help everyday". CORRECTION: "Follow the lives of these Australian paramedics who respond to more than 9,000 calls for help every day". Attend grammar school to stop insulting the intelligent! I salute the firefighters' extremely rough and tough jobs put on the line every day. God Bless You ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
