He was likely in shock. Your body doesn’t feel the pain as you normally would. It’s part of the fight or flight and the body’s way of protecting itself in such situations.

@@jamiesingleton3909 - If you’re in shock, you usually get a much higher pulse, as the heart have to work a lot harder to try to keep up the blood pressure. A pulse of only 86 doesn’t really sound like shock… Unless you just meant a psychological «shock»… 🤗

haha , he was on morphine

His HR was in the normal range because of sufficient analgesia. Also, in this type of injury, there is a considerable risk of spinal trauma and the possible development of neurogenic shock. This type of shock looks differently than typical hypovolemic shock.

AnetteCB Midazolam is good stuff. 😊

The normal hospital has to ration funds and sometimes normal ambulance wait time spreads out to 3+ hours.

I thought all healthcare was free?

Bobbie Doll - it is free to every person (UK & Australia). But the air ambulances are funded solely by donations, both from the public and companies.

I recently read where the Queen requested a 10 million dollar raise from Parliment AND she also received a new yacht. (I have no idea when either {YEAR} article was published online however. [Published by a British Co.]) AND... I'd always heard that Socialized medicine always put off their elderly patients if another's ranked more important. I never believed this to be true until I seen it for myself! I was watching a similar show regarding Emergency Ambulance Services, where they had received a call regarding a 93 yr old gentleman who had taken a very nasty fall, who had sustained a broken arm/leg, and was c/o (chest pains-?). In route this ambulance received a (1st, 2nd n 3rd calls throughout the nite) call from a pregnant lady who had complained of different problems, to try to disguise herself as different patients/callers. (The ambulance workers recognized the symptoms as being the same.) The elderly gentleman had waited for 3 hours, and still had to be put on the back burner, so to speak, so the pregnant woman, with her complaints that may be life threatening could be attended first. Come to find out, the ambulance attendants, upon their final journey to transport this woman found out from the woman herself she wanted attention. They explained, others in serious need wasn't getting the help they needed, because the ambulance had to respond to her, 3 times! MEANWHILE I, the elderly gentleman with his broken bone & chest pains, who had waited 3+ hours, was still waiting. WRONG!! MY HUSBAND pays thru the nose for our health ins. (USA) I'd much rather pay out this way & know I'm going to be seen in a timely manner, thank you!

Actually while it can be physically demanding, and makes you have to think sharp very often, depressing and anxious are two things this definitely isn't. Rewarding-yes, anxious-no. Being stuck in an office, factory or shop for a whole shift doing mundane tasks; now THAT would be depressing!!

I think it really depends on what kind of person you are. Though if this is something someone couldn't handle mentally, they wouldn't make it through the cut. For me it'd be a very rewarding, exciting and challenging job. And I think it's the same for them.

@@doncoleman4938 I would say they get anxious sometimes, looking at their faces when flying to the scenes.

Lando Important information to know about people. Shows what good souls they truly are.

That’s Man’s BEST Friend His Dog 🐶

LOOOL

It’s called the back Garden, never anything as plebeian as a Yard. No I’m not British.

That dog absolutely cracked me up. He looks at him like, "No, you get it." Then he says "it's too cold out here. I'm going back inside. Have fun with that!" Hahahaha.

Love 💗 from 🇨🇦 as well... 😏

😁

Funny, I used to be scared of needles too. Now as a paramedic I take great pleasure in successfully getting a patent IV in a hard to get vein. Patients say to me "will the needle hurt?". I look them straight in the eyes and say "I promise....I will not feel a thing". A bit of laughter is always good medicine (the other is when patients ask how long I've been a paramedic. Instead of admitting to 21 years of service, I just tell them as I'm just about to give an injection/IV "you're my very first patient. I started on the job just an hour ago".)

That’s Really FUNNY 😄 Bjorn Rosesbeke Sir 🚁😎🚁

HAHAH absoloutely same

Amen

AMEN

Where are the award shows for them ?

@@taylorchristensen5882 They dont get to be awarded - they are not famous enough. Sad worlds this is.

I wish I could love this a million times!

Geez!!! I had a leg injury as a child in the 70's. Pretty severe. Doctors were just too detached from the effect they had in people's mental wellbeing. I have the most ridiculously long huge scar. Totally unnecessary. Glad you're alive.

I dislocated my elbow really badly in 2000 and I was in agony until I passed out from pain while they were fixing it. I didn't get anything for pain until after they started fixing it. Took them 45 minutes to put it back into place.

I had 3 fractures in my ankle and they couldn’t operate until the swelling went down. I was placed on the surgical floor, because no openings on orthopedic floor. I wasn’t medicated properly and the fractures weren’t stable. I was admonished by the staff for crying out in pain and treated like a drug addict. After surgery I was to go to orthopedics. The staff were all upset that I was still under their care. It wasn’t until I got to orthopedics floor that I was treated for my pain properly. I wasn’t screaming out, then and treated with respect.

Harden up mate.

In Mexico air ambulances are free, the US government simply does not exist to protect American citizens

In the US specialized Nurses and Paramedics man the helicopter. I do not beleive that there is ever a Doctor that rides an ambulance or air ambulance. I am so impressed that a specialist Emergency Doctor goes to the patient. I can see where this probably saves many lives. I am a retired RN. I know the nurses and paramedics are amazing and brilliant but having that team immediately on scene is so important that first hour. However, just thinking on it my daughter in law was far in labor at the OB office and a physician did ride in ambulance with her. She did make it to hospital and we have a gorgeous 18 yo now.

@@glendagrant9042 I believe you’re correct. No doctor is usually on a air flight or ambulance. I’m betting a doctor from your daughter in laws practice just chose to ride along to continue providing care. I’m guessing in the UK doctors fo the intubations and meds that paramedics are allowed to give in the field in the US without a doctor present? It’s totally different from what I’m gathering watching these shows. It’s just sad that I’m the US people lose their life savings or even homes to pay for medical bills that are literally free in other countries. So ridiculous.

it should als omake you more careful around cyclists :)

@@melihdrms1182 Cyclists need to be more careful tbh. Cyclists around here ride like they own the road and sidewalk and that the cars can read their minds. Also a lot of them dont adhere to the rules while cars do. Sadly its the cyclists who gets injured. I ride a Motorbike and I know that If I make a mistake I might die. I also know that I can do everything right and a car does something wrong I might die. I always think twice before doing something because of this.

@@exsnozer In A&E we call them DONOR CYCLES ...

That's a pretty universal term. It used to be (well, still is in some places depending on skill levels) that it was imperative to get the patient to the hospital within that golden hour. In Australia paramedics are used to get the hospital to the patient, rather than the other way. Sure we do transport to hospital, but basically do everything on scene/en route that a hospital would do in the first hour anyway.

@@doncoleman4938 When I was young and they were just creating the paramedic and EMT programs it was for the same reason to get medical help to the patient sooner. It is only logical then the next step would be to have a doctor on scene. My step father was an EMT/fire fighter. Back then most of the first paramedics were Ex-Vietnam medics that came home with knowledge that even doctors didn't know about patching bodies up to get them to hospital. One of the assistant fire chiefs at the department here was one of those. I want to thank you for what you do. There should be a special place in heaven for people like you who serve your community. God Bless.

That is very interesting, thanks for taking the time to post. I think one thing that makes EMS staff unique is the passion for the job.

Even though the "golden hour" is widely used it has very little to no statistic and empiric evidence. There is no study that shows a benefit for fast transport in the general trauma population. It europe this term has been abandoned for the most since it is not taking into account the individual case. There is strong scientific backup that patients with appropriate care on scene have a better chance of survival. Just 3 examples: 1. A patient with severe internal bleedings has to go to the hospital as soon as possible, there is nothing we can do a the scene. If we take him into hospital within 60 instead of 90 minutes it has a big benefit. A patient with severe head trauma might have a big benefit from a RSI and controlled ventilation on scene. If we intubate him at 30 minutes and then drive 20 minutes to the hospital - that's 20 min less of additional stress on the injured brain. A patient with a tension pneumothorax will not survive a 20 minute ride to the hospital, he needs a thoracic drain at scene. Even if that means he reaches the hospital after 90 minutes.

umad bro I gave you a thumbs up for your comment, but I'd like to give you more. Not wanting to sound condescending, but that explains it brilliantly. Cheers from an Australian paramedic/clinical mentor.

some of the teams wear clear gloves that are very hard to see, instead of the blue ones. That may be the case here. I doubt they were gloveless.

I know there is in New England, I live in Boston next to the hospitals and they have a Helipad with helicopters constantly coming and going. Don't know about anywhere else though.

Don’t know where you live we have these in the middle of nowhere where I live. I can’t get over the lack of ambulances. We normally have more than one ambulance of needed.

Watch till the end, they always follow up on all patients. And yes he did survive

Jak wa : 🐽

On the contrary, this would have been a great job, not a horrible one. From personal experience, I can't say I've ever attended a "horrible" job. If you can work on a really sick or injured patient and improve them dramatically by the time you get them to hospital, that's job satisfaction. The closest I've been to a "horrible" job was going to a patient who didn't even really need an ambulance, and by their own choice live in filthy, smelly squalid conditions (and expose ambulance crews to such a needlessly putrid house).

@Jak wa Pathetic attempt at trolling. Get a life.

advice from my father: always drink a full glass of water before you leave, so you don't get the dry heaves. it can be a lot worse than they'll ever show here.

BRO I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO NOTICED AS WELL. HAHAHAHAH CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS NARRATOR. ahahahahahah bro

Yes im still searching for this is episode

my assumption is that they are using two helicopters and a possibly having additional people in the rescuehelicopter in addition to fixed cameras in the heli and cameras on the rescue team

I would guess that it is a medic holding the camera

It's how we sync the information to reporting software on tablets/computers and can also be used to transmit the data on the monitor directly to the hospital so they can see everything before the patient arrives. Often easier to spot problems on the EKG in the hospital than in the field :)

You weren't a life threatening case, hence why it took so long.

Not only that but then you had to pay them for it too.
