I heard it described as the US healthcare has customers, the UK healthcare has patients

Too true. Health care is a medical football for politicians to bounce around.🤮🤮🤣

I was recalling how on an ambulance ride they told me they couldn't give me pain medicine, only the ER could. I figured the reason why is they want my insurance info first. I've been sitting in the ER before throwing up from pain and they won't give you anything until the ER doctor sees you and that can be hours. It's also very costly. I live 3mins from the hospital so I've been driven and dropped off and have dropped people off who live nearby. No one wants the ambulance bill.

And this is the reason I won't go to the hospital unless I'm dying I don't like hospitals or doctors so there's that I've thought about moving to another country just for the health care cuz the US health care system leaves alot to be desired

I agree with T Johnson here and want to clarify…Although the focus of the EMS SYSTEM in the US needs improvement, our EMS responders demonstrate genuine dedication to their profession and typically, their primary concern is excellent patient care. Seeing how the UK’s system works gives me that much more respect for US responders, as they navigate a very tricky balance between what the system expects and what they know their patients need. Their sacrifice isn’t lost on me & my gratitude runs deep. 💕

Omg I know. Like he easily could have died.

Could they be more patronising to her?

Jacqueline Barnard definitely, she was so scared and emotional I felt so bad for her too.

It’s one of those things where you cry because of the terror of what could have happened.....and what still might happen

@@NegleLir yep. insurance can help but it depends on your provider and deductable. don't ask lol

I think that's so sad that people don't go there because of the lack of money. Our health insurance is mandatory, about a 100 euro's eacht month and then pretty mucht everything is covered. There is a part that's called 'own risk' which is 385 euro's a year which you have to pay if you need it and everything above that is for the insurance company.

Its gotten colder than MARS a couple times here.

Ya it’s brutal living in Canada

@@coolgirlfrozenfeet I don't even live in a cold country, but I laughed like crazy when some Brazilians who'd just moved here confessed they'd put on their clothes over their pjs bc they were too cold to take them off. It was only about 8ºC 😂 (In their defense, buildings don't have heating and are made to keep out heat, not cold, so they can get uncomfortable. Winters are also very humid and windy, so the cold bites a lot more than the temperature would indicate. I've lived in the UK since then and found that their much colder but dry winters feel warmer.)

Ah! Great point...we call that a “missile hazard” in my line of work. It can kill.

12 years ago, My husband let tiredness make him forget to wear his seat belt and it cost him his life as he fell asleep at the wheel, went off the road and rolled his work truck. Seat belt would have at least kept him in his seat and possibly saved his life.

My brother had a friend who went through the open sunroof after his car flipped and died instantly. Everyone else in the car was wearing their seatbelts and walked away.

I lost my husband in a truck roll over 12 years ago because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. He normally always did and he was so tired from working on call all weekend, he just didn't put it on for some reason.

I do want to say one of my friend was wearing seatbelts he woulda prolly lived if he hadn't from what I heard he got stuck between the console and door and seatbelts held him to where if he wasnt seatbelts he would be thrown clear..but ye its soso I personally use seatbelts makes me feel alot better but my friend died cuz of it

Oml

It says at the end that doctors tried to re attach it, but it didn't take.

I just rewatched that part and the medic when they were taking off said that the arm was shredded but the hand was still attached, then they weren't able to rebuild it at hospital.

Damn, I can’t imagine the horror being a kid and having blood red stuffing come out of the stuffed animal ( yes ik they would have held back that stuffing)

It is why it is advised not to move trauma victims. Paramedics are trained to follow these rituals as they will save accidents victims, from more damage to their bodies. First things first.....stop the hemorrhage ! contain and maintain the body. Fluff comes later. They are not focussed on social "support" of family members. Their shrinks will deal will it, later. Usually, life has a way to move on, leaving these scars behind. More will come in the future. It is life !!!!

The neck was braced. They did manual immobilization first and c-collar next, while he was sitting in a 90º angle. Then, they used a backboard for spinal immobilization and transport. They did allow him to sit down on his own, instead of using a special device... which is in agreement with newest evidence that backboards and extraction vest shouldn't be used in all cases nor should you manipulate the victim too much, because the victim can better sense if something is hurting and protect the neck (instead of the Paramedic moving himself the neck on a fully flat angle that may cause even more injury). We do learn what we call orthostatic immobilization, and we use extraction vest for sitting patients, but evidence has shown that these techniques are woefully outdated and may not benefit the spinal immobilization at all. When I was in a car crash, being in a backboard for about an hour and having a c-collar on for hours was probably what caused a compression in my cervical spine, because I was just incredibly uncomfortable all the time and not in an anatomically correct position for me. I would've protected my spine better in another type of equipment (such as a coquille, for example), than the backboard and c-collar did. Spinal immobilization is not a risk exempt technique. This was a valid case for the approach that they did and I wouldn't have done anything differently.

@@sorayaimperial Excellent comment, from a pro, I expect. True that over the board techniques do not benefit all.

Did you not see the guy behind holding his neck straight? That is manual immobilization, but I don't need to tell you that, you're a youtube doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, scientist, engineer, chef, florist, gardener, architect, firefighter, and politician, right?? You sure know better than these stupid doctors... you're from the internet.

My mom had a friend in college that got drunk fell three stores from a deck, got up and walked inside to a sofa laughing and laid on the sofa and continued to drink. He woke up the next morning (still drunk at this point) he went to stand to go pee and said he experienced pain like he had never felt before. A friend drove him to the hospital, he almost passed out from having to sit. He had shattered his pelvis and the entire ball and socket of one hip. Took him almost a year to walk unaided after. He had to have the broken hip and femur replaced and has so many bolts and rods in his hips. When my mom was telling me the story I was so worried about his neck and back but they ended up being fine. I can’t believe the idiot SAT in a car, much less did not call for an ambulance and stay still when he felt the pain. Doctors said he was lucky his bone chips had not opened an artery.

So your telling me if a car suddenly stops and hit me That’s a fall?

@@hientrinh590 ? If you live in a world where a warped sense of humor is required then . yes.

shock sets in and after all the confusion, they move on, accepting what they have left, which is life minus one limb.

@@hientrinh590 If the car was almost stopped when it hit you, so just giving you a small nudge, it will be qualified as a fall in our system. Meaning that any potential damage that you have is not from the car hitting you (so trauma to the abdomen, lower extremities, extreme violent kinetic energy, etc), but the fall that you took afterwards. If it was a fast car, the prevalent mechanism of injury will be the car impact. If a fast car throws you off a cliff, you'll have polymechanism injuries, consistent with both car impact AND fall. In a fall (not a runover), it's the stop that hurts. Even in a car crash, what creates injuries is the fact that you suddenly stop, but your brain keeps travelling forward and then bounces around; a car crash at 100km/h where you DON'T suddenly stop is less deadly than a car crash at 60km/h where you DO suddenly stop (reason why dampening barriers work in car races: you don't stop as fast). Same with a fall where you bump your head, that's how you get a concussion (and even possibly die) from a minor fall.

damn chill

The helicopters in the whole UK are totally funded by a charity, and many of the folks who have been helped, will host neighborhood fundraisers as well. It is quite a wonderful thing, that the community cares enough to support care for all with speed and state of the art medical treatment.👍💜💞🤩🤓

In the US many people think that health care is an entitlement. Few would consider a neighborhood fundraiser. GoFundMe has been overused and abused so people no longer participate.

When I was little maybe 4 to 5 years I was playing with a stuffed bear and my sister threw it on the stove top, I didn't know the stove was on and went to grab it when I did the fur melted into my hand, nothing helped the pain except for warm water that had dawn dish washing liquid in it. I remember going to grab the bear but after that my memory is blank probably cause of the pain. Edit: we still have the bear and it has my hand print on its stomach

@@shellc6743 damn. Who hurt you?

If the proper safety measures are taken, accidents shouldn't happen at all. Of course broken machines can play a part, but if something is broken it shouldn't be neglected it should be tagged out immediately

Reminds me of a case I got a few years back. Working my very first day as a private EMT in a big concert (I was a Fire EMT by a few years then). They are still putting up the structure, so no big stuff should happen, just minor sprains, or someone dropping a box on their foot. At worse, some rigger drops a few metres and bumps his helmeted head on the frame. The garbage truck comes in, just a municipal car, not related in any way to the venue. Suddenly, trashman loses half his wrist operating the machine and we have to run all the damn way over from the other side of the venue (the bit where the bins were stationed were not part of our hired space). Turns out that that specific part of the machine that can eat your limbs out should have a protective part to prevent that from happening; but since it made a weird noise and needed to be lubed and maintained regularly, some bright mind took the protective part out. Also, I knew that trashman from other minor accidents (he worked in my firehouse area) and he was more often than not drinking a bit too much at lunch. A sober person wouldn't have lost his wrist. A drunk person operating the machine with the damn protective part wouldn't have lost his wrist. All was wrong that day.

How sad. My condolences to you.

Yes, condolences dear.
