I agree. Try aged care, that's even crazier

Thank you both for caring for others enough to be a nurse.

GOD BLESS YOU, YOU ARE A HEREO….

I’m proud of u!! Such a selfless act to dedicate ur life to help others in their darkest hour!! Ur right it’s honourable. Hopefully people are kind to u

As a mother who spent an awful lot of time in hospital with a son who has cystic fibrosis, I'm so thankful for the wonderful nurses who helped us, in ED, on the ward and in ICU. Good nurses are so important to us in hospital ❤️

😅😅

I have found that elder care is very rewarding.

Absolutely! Coming from a US ER Nurse🤣

Proud of u ❤

As you well should be! We do love you and thank you. (well...hard to love those in my home town and all neighboring counties they've monopolized. lordy they are so arrogant and rude. I kid you not, we locals drive at least 100 miles or more to not deal with them. My granddaughter was born almost 3 hours away for those reasons. I wish they were just half as caring as we see here! I love watching these masters!)

That's a brilliant phrase🤣😂🤣😂

Gotta love our Aussie sayings 😂👏

🥩 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The most Aussie thing to say to someone. But what do you expect when you act like a pork chop

But still our gov trying to do as much harm as they can do to us. Taken away our parking and asking us to pay $27 a day to pay private companies. Or else we have to park on street 1 or 2km away and walk to car in non light in night around 11pm.

That's the truth. Totally copy, that was expressed so accurately! But also in MN when entire towns and escape routes got flooded out and people died, Farmers were refusing grants for those that 'really' needed help despite being completely at a loss - farm animals gone and homesteads and land under 8' of water or more for as far as the eyes could see. If you didn't live there, you did not know where any road was anymore. And then, just a few months later, the MN freeze set in and noone was ready. Espy not any little trailer. One little town had one lonely maintenance guy working so hard to thaw out everyone's lines. No one complained. Yes. Culture sure does matter.

My sodium level was 121 and I didnt respond at all to sternal rubs nor calling in my ear. When I came to, I was surprised to see the staff hovering around my bed.

Don't poke the bear...😂

Yes I totally agree. I'm an ED nurse. The patient was asleep and stable. she woke him with a painful sternal rub. Why not just let him sleep. All hell broke lose after that. Seemed antagonistic and unnecessary.

I'll take "Obvious" for 300, Alex.

Yeah I was shocked she stayed on her own waking him unrestrained. With that heads up as well

@@bethaneaniec1833 Have a great rest of the week Bethaneanie! 😁

That part was perplexing. They knew he was not in his right mind and was violent.

Right?! This was so stupid! I mean what did they expect to happen 😂

A very important thing in Dr- patient interaction is the patient autonomy . If he woke up unagitated and yet strapped that would be violation of his right . Patient dignity is very important. When there in indication of staff feels verbally and physically assaulted then you restrain .

Thank u for ur service ❤

Thank you!!!!!!!!! High High Respects!! 🤩

Agreed and I found that Dr. Maya really condescending as well.

bro THANK YOU. like as a former emergency nurse, just let him sleep of the droperidol. jaw thrust him if you have to for airway patency. but dont bloody sternal rub him and expect him to wake up and smile hahah

Totally agree. Lets poke the bear and see what happens. Dah!

The way she spoke about him and his 'fit young potential' sounds like she's 1 daddy issue away from dating the man.

It's hard not to take behaviour like that of this patient personally in the heat of the moment. Great to see she has the awareness that he is not behaving like he does to annoy her and her colleagues. A lot of things have to go wrong in a person's life to reach that state. I hope she can keep her compassion without burning out.

They can use propofol for sure.

You win with this comment 😂

I understood some of these words. 😂

Yes, this is what I’d expect as a now retired RN from the US. I’m surprised at the lack of quick and adequate response to this and other injuries I’ve seen on these shows.

I think the comments from the USA should mind there own business, the country is hardly known for its amazing Health Service

@@KF-cx8bm As a US citizen, I agree. I look at practices from other nations as an opportunity to learn what can be done better.

@@KF-cx8bm As an American Citizen I agree with you. We have NO room to talk about any other country. I Think this hospital does a great job..

And a good smack to the head.

And some narcan.

@@Wendy-bd9zu Narcan only works on opiods.

@@kefelonia1 Sure, let’s risk injuring the sick guy even more. /s You don’t physically strike _anyone_ when they’re like that if they can be restrained, which they were able to do. Wtf is wrong with you?

Exorcisms are bullshit.

Agreed! I thought that too. It's being done in some places. Maybe here too, we just might not know about it? But yes. I recorded my kid once, rather humbling. It works.

Decades ago, in Canberra perpetrators of minor traffic infringements were made to watch video of MVAs. Not sure if it's still the practice....maybe political correctness has put a stop to it🙄

The production of the show makes it worse by deepening the voice when they disguise it for privacy. If they made it higher-pitched, we'd be laughing.

I thought the same thing!

Probably is..

Its not that funny

How are they supposed to test if he’s sobered up? At that point they didn’t know the specifics of what/how much he had taken and therefore how long sobering up would take. They couldn’t just sedate him without checking first, sedation is generally risky and they wouldn’t want to do it unnecessarily.

@@brittlangton9305 But, why did he need to be sedated if he was sleeping? Isn't that a natural sedation? If his vitals were ok? Then let him sleep it off? I'm really just curious....honestly not criticizing the staff.

@@noongourfain he was sedated by the paramedics so they brought him out of that to try and assess him and he also wasn’t breathing optimally, but had to sedate him again because of how aggressive he was.

And people use it as a party drug 😢

Hope ur son is healthy and thriving now

I hope your son is okay. My boy has cystic fibrosis and is pretty definite about drugs he will accept. They know.

I am with your son. Never, never again would I let them use ketamine on me. I'll Endure the pain before I will deal with the hallucinations and coming down from the ketamine. Horrible horrible stuff

😢😢 may u all keep safe

You are a tech. You keep referring to nurses as "my nurses". They aren't YOURS. You are at the bottom of the hierarchy there, tech, with scribes, receptionist, registrars and such. I've watched the techs "babysit" patients (usually sleeping) one-on-one, and it's observing them on camera from outside the room, while the techs doom scroll their phones, snacking, talking with everyone, play games on the phone, text and such. Not exactly a tough job and definitely not 'medical personnel'. Support staff, thats it.

The ketamine is mostly used, from what l have seen, to create a disconnect when something really painful must be don e, usually dealing with a fracture. The doc tells them “ you will feel it, but you won’t remember feeling it”. They then use morphine or dilaudid (so?) for pain relief.

AGREED! I'm Hard of Hearing and with the accents, chaos and such, it was a hard listen.

We know nothing of his life. Most people with addiction have it for a reason, and probably not something we can understand as haven't lived it

Yes, speaking as someone who has lived that life and managed to get the help I needed to make it out alive, I can understand both sides. However, it it true that not (if not all) addicts are using substances to escape from something in their life. I can understand when people have a hard time feeling bad for us, but also understand that it is true that no one ever *wants* to become an addict and end up behaving like this man did in the show. No one ever takes drugs expecting to end up like this.

Another judgmental person that knows nothing about the disease of addiction. The CDC has classified it as a disease just so you know, I didn't. Do you think this man likes being sick? Do you think he probably would give anything to be better? I know, you've never thought about it. Obviously. My son died from an overdose two months ago. He was 19yrs old. He was a college student at a University with hopes of becoming an attorney. He had goals and dreams. He played baseball for the college. He had a girlfriend, great friends, a job , but most importantly, he had a family that adored him. I will never be the same. So, as you throw those stones from your glass house, maybe learn how to have some compassion for people. It's apparent that addiction has never touched your life or you would never make a comment as disgusting as you did. He doesn't deserve sympathy because he's an addict?? Wow.. You should be ashamed. 😢

@@alyssaroxanne9084 Good job you made it out. I'm proud of you! Not easy. Addiction is a disease like no other. Not to mention there is a whole network of people plus advertising working hard to make people addicts.

No it's not.

good ole haloperidol, with some lorazapam

@@samanthaparris6379 woukd have solved that problem fast!

Sure,they leave and then come back a day later with a lawyer and try to sue, saying they didn’t provide proper care. Working with animals you often get bitten.

@@barbarawhite4257 guess it might just be easier and safer to put the really rabid ones down before they have time to kick off then, just have to keep some of the knock out juice for when it’s the lawyers turn to go though.. There’s nothing I hate more than not being completely aware and in control of myself in my surroundings so when I see people so out of it I can’t comprehend why they would want to be or allow themselves to become so intoxicated that they have no recollection of what happened for hours of their life and what they might have gotten themselves into in that time. It’s right up there with tight spaces and dentists for me.

do you mean the druggo? They cant let him leave as a mater of public safety. If he's that far off the wall he could do anythng to anyone

You never know what someone is going through. Maybe he’s been so traumatized in his life that he’s trying to escape reality. One can never really know what’s really going on in someone’s life.

I think two contributing factors - gravity & age. Aging bones are fragile😅

Gravity is one meeeeean mother, that’s how. Many structures (stairs, counters, door jambs, window sills, chairs, tables, anything raised) inside a house can cause broken bones, and striking your head on any surface can result in your head bouncing and then falling back and striking it again, depending on the forces involved. That could cause multiple skull fractures. Also, the older you get, the more brittle your bones are, therefore easier to break.

Probably because IV access is good for more than just meds, and not everything can be given IM

@@stefanieebling2785 I had patients like this in the ED. Usually 2 mg of Ativan IM knocked them out cold.

@@stefanieebling2785 we use im halodol, then once calmed and/or restrained, you put in an iv.

@@stefanieebling2785 not everything needs to be given iv, there are main situations when IM needs to be used, like in this particular situation, or also when a patient is having a fit, of course there are other ways like rectally (midazo), but in this case it's definitely a better idea IM than rectally, and definitely more effective, and logic than IV, .. to say is different to do it, to be there forcing a man , full of energy and usually psychoactives substances aligning a needle, placing it as gentle to not cross the vein or avoiding the stasis and damage of it. At the end , medicine is not only theory but practice also, and any way, most of the guidelines around the World recommend the IM way in this situation with these medicines, so why not to follow the guidelines when it's also easier beside safer?

@@MD-rw6uh I didnt say everything had to be iv. I said its good for other things too. I work in healthcare, have for a long time. Im aware of the rest of what you said too. Theres really no need for a novel. I dont work for the service shown in the video, i dont know their practices.

The green whistle as us aussies and new zealanders call it is some of the best stuff in the world when you F your self up. It's Methoxyflurane which is a analgesic just helps with really severe pain and it can of course make you very very happy in some cases. Ambulance and Lifeguards administer it the most i believe. usually 1 whistle will be enough before you are put on the hardcore painkillers. Just found out you yanks dont have it which is just crazy to me.

It's a form of pain relief for the patient. :)

Looks similar to 'gas and air' that they use in the UK programmes. In those, it's nitrous oxide (laughing gas.)

the Penthrox green whistle is a non-opioid pain relief inhaler commonly used in trauma settings for self-administration

Security was there.

TRY KEEPING YOUR UNQUALIFIED ADVICE TO YOURSELF!

Are you a nurse or doctor??

There is a maximum of pain relief possible before it becomes dangerous,at that point you can’t affect the pain anyway. You can’t just “give it”. It’s called an overdose. Heard of it?

@@barbarawhite4257 yes I have! I have also heard of being in absolute agony - of course pain relief is carefully managed - but it became evident that person WAS able to have pain relief, they just took their bloody time getting around to it - I am sure , however, that you would wait patiently while in absolute agony

@@peacewarrior1175 Yes,twice. They called it childbirth

@@barbarawhite4257 coincidence - me also - but it was your CHOICE during childbirth - I daresay it was not the patient's choice in this instance - they wanted some relief

I have. Weirdest. Experience. _Ever._

I’ve been given Ketamine. It was an incredible experience. Honestly, I loved it a little too much. Lol I saw the most vivid colors that don’t even really exist in real life. As I was waking up, everything started to look so dull and depressing. I told the nurse. She said “Ketamine is a hell of a drug. Isn’t it?” It doesn’t last long at all. That’s one of the benefits of it.

Eh, not sure if you have ever been to Australia, but this place is freaking massive, roughly 90% of the population lives on 0.22% of the continents land mass. It means that outside of that 0.22% of the land mass, the population density is unreal. For example, Anna Creek is a cattle station larger than Israel, only about 12 people live in Anna Creek. In Australia, the population density in 2021 was at 3.35 people per square kilometre. In America, the population density in 2021 was 34.41 people per square kilometre. It makes it difficult to allocate resources. There just aren't enough people in the outback close enough together for a hospital with a trauma centre to be useful, which is why we have air ambulances and the Royal Flying Doctors service. Its more efficient and safer to just fly them to the major trauma centre. Here is a video about how tiny Australia's population is compared to its size. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itRykpuL0p_QgJ8.html
