Wonderful - delighted for you. It must be such a fantastic change of circumstances - great news.

That's fantastic Rachel!! I hope you are doing amazing since your comment from last year!!

Same here, I watch series like this to get my fix. I went back to help out during the height of Covid pandemic & just felt right at home.

My buddies dad went off a 3 story roof and broke his collar bone, several vertebrae, an arm in two places and ended up with a personal hospital bed in his living room for I forget how many months. Hope your son was alright and I hope he learned something at least.

Is your son alright?! 😱 Did he learn from falling off the roof?

@@brera2434 He suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. It left him with epilepsy and the only medication that is working for him has some nasty side effects (Frequent uncontrollable rage being one of them) and unfortunately it still doesn't work 100% of the time. At this time he is still unemployable. He did learn some things from his fall though. He learned that his family has his back most of the time. It was a good lesson for all of us.

@@AnotherWittyUsername. I am so sorry. Young people tend to think that they are invincible :-(. For most, they get out of that phase ok and become more careful. I am sorry it ended this way for your son. Sending a lot of strength you and him. Hopefully he will get better in the future.

I wish I could say that emergency rooms are better in Canada... but they're not. Very disappointing. Only solace is not paying a hospital bill. I've had to start omitting my health conditions from my patient history for staff to take my condition seriously. For 6 years I've been dealing with debilitating and consistently chronic chest pain, diaphragm pain and lower back pain (sometimes it spreads to my left shoulder). I'm 27. The first time it started and the worst of the worst flareups I went to emergency and told them it could Very likely be a gallbladder attack as I have quite a few family members who've had their gallbladders out, my father had an attack and had emergency surgery because his was completely gangrene and I've known i had gallstones since the age of 16 because they were noted on a gynecological ultrasound. As soon as they heard I have IBS they stopped caring even when I insisted to them its not heartburn because A) I know what that feels like B) I took 2 gaviscon just in case it was and no improvements before going to emergency C) I have a strict diet to avoid acid reflux D) I hadn't had any foods that day that would spurr acid reflux or heartburn. They didn't listen to my heart, didn't do an ultrasound or chest xray or even bloodwork. They took my medical history, took my blood pressure and eventually gave me something called pink lady which didn't do anything at all. After 4 or 6 hours of laying alone in a hospital bed, freezing and no one even checking on me periodically to check I was alive and still in terrible pain out of frustration I'll check myself out because I feel guilty that my father is outside just sitting in his vehicle in hopes that he'll hear some progress or something. Keep in mind, I was going to a very small hospital and I've never seen more than 2 or more people in the waiting room at any time of day and when I was admitted it was like I was on an entire floor by myself and not even nurses walked by. The next time I went to emergency I didn't tell them I have IBS and finally they took bloodwork, did a chest xray and scheduled an ultrasound for the next morning but gave no pain relief and no pain relievers help me. The ultrasound showed the gallstones but they said they saw no inflammation so they said it's probably not the cause. My previous doctor diagnosed the chest pain as fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome and I was eventually put on duloxtine which for a year and a half seemed to help cut down the frequency of the flareups. The pain of the flareups can leave me bedridden for days or weeks, the only relief I get is from heating pads and ice packs. I have scarring on my breast and breastbone from the ice packs because I'm so desperate for relief I'll press them directly on my skin and put something heavy on top and I got frostbite. I've been unemployed for 6 years and I'm on disability and this is in part due to the chest pain. I have a new doctor now who is taking my pain seriously and today I had an appointment with her after having bloodwork and a full abdomen ultrasound. It looks like my gallbladder is impacted by a stone and now we are scheduling for surgery to remove the gallbladder. She suspects that it's been my gallbladder all this time like I said on the beginning. For 6 years, all this time it looks like it was my gallbladder after all. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will take the pain away but I've had my hopes up many times before. Please, as a resident, please actually listen to your patients. Your listening may save them from 6 years of debilitating pain and depression.

Sadly it’s the same in the UK too, your just seeing the best bits on TV that show our NHS in a positive light. We rarely have enough beds for the amount of patients that we receive in hospital and many people are left waiting over 24hours to be seen to. It’s awful currently in the NHS but I am very thankful that we have it, we just need to treat it better and pay our staff better wages and fund the NHS correctly.

I hope you’re suing them

100% agree ❤ I'm so thankful I've been lucky/blessed enough to have close relationships with two of my four grandparents. I've only just lost my Granny a year ago. She was 93. She was an RN and had so many amazing stories ❤

Some are....

No they are not. They are humans that don’t get paid enough, for the job they do!

Thank you for that, it means so much to me. 🤗💙🤗💙

Some hha. As someone who is a regular in hospital due to chronic illness I have seen some horrendous nurses and drs. 90% are beautiful angels but there’s some nasty horrid ones

Its Yorkshire we don't do owt without a cuppa. Sit thee sen down and pull up a pew while we sew you up the nurse is making you a brew. They love their work.

Why are you presuming that all the medical staff are not good? Because you've had some bad experiences? Don't be thick.

Just the smell of gangrene is overwhelming the first time you smell it! Ugh!!

Good thinking, Mom! 😺 ( Especially since you had to hold it together yourself 🙂)

I desperately want to untangle the cord 😁

I found this funny when he got tattoo all over and it was from needles, it make you want to go hm.

It does actually. They are totally different types of needles and pain. I’ve got tattoos, but I can’t cope with the pain of needles, especially cannulas!

Phobias aren’t logical.

Lilly Rose, true enough!

She looked nowhere close to 90

She's 90?! I had to watch that part again. I thought she was 80! Maybe 78ish. Haha Damn.

I read on another one of these videos that it is used for the head nurse. I'm in the US so I don't know if that's true. It's just what someone commented

Nurses used to be Nuns….now the Head Nurse is called “Sister”

Culture. Look it up.

I think that's actually still valid for various languages and countries. We call all nurses "sisters" in my country ( CZ) and I know it's the same in German, Slovak, Polish. Never really thought where that stems from, happy for the explanation. PS. Fun fact we do call male nurses "brothers".

Why judge someone, when you don’t know them?

He doesn’t want any needles but he has tattoos! Seriously??🤷🏻‍♀️

Pretty much

@@cathymcglasson6947 Thank you!

In the US, ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit, so here, it's different because Resuscitation means to do CPR.

@@cathymcglasson6947 No, resus is the first port of call where the patient is assessed & stabilised & then sent to an appropriate ward/department.

No, it's like the trauma rooms (I think that's what they're called in the U.S.?) The separate bays in the emergency room area where people are placed when they need to be worked on.

Student dr still is training

@@victoriadelaney1123 No, a junior doctor is newly qualified - a student doctor doesn’t have their degree yet.

I read somewhere else it is a term to define a head nurse. Not sure if that's true but it's what I read from another commenter

The head nurse, back in the day, was always a Nun. It’s been carried over & nowadays, the head nurse is now called ‘sister’

@@victoriadelaney1123 Sister is given to a head nurse, nothing to do with nuns. It is a rank !

Right!! I,m surprised any work gets done...maybe if they stopped eating sweets and cakes and chatting....

They treated 109 patients in 8 hours. You try that….

@@victoriadelaney1123 yes sure lol

I bet you're one of those that goes to the A&E by an ambulance because they can't get a tampon out or have a paper cut. PS. If you ever find yourself waiting, use that time to work on your English.

​@@zoolucinka How about you english only lol

What??!

I can identify with you. They are so busy typing, dashing to the next poor idiot, dont even do family histories anymore. The drs and nurses here d o n o t listen. Its always "just take more fluids, fiber, walk more, etc etc" when I am full of distention and havent had relief in days and days, year after year. Sick and tired of it. Treated like I am an idiot and dont know my own body.

I'm sorry for that. It's a known fact that medical professionals are trained to be biased( women, POC, people suffering from chronic illnesses are not taken seriously and are usually denied pain relief). There are good healthcare professionals though, whenever you're not satisfied with the treatment ( and especially the absence of) go somewhere else. I hope you're getting better now. It must have been hell and you're incredibly strong to have survived that.
