Same.

Absolutely 💚

Wish I was a twin

was his condition revealed in this episode? i cant seem to find it at the end

@@irasyukrina8786 Yes, looking for it now..not mentioned in the end :(

Yep, pneumonia not sepsis, it was revealed tho

@@Strawberree No, that was a different guy....nothing was said about the 91 year old one.

Agreed. I’m an EMT and I do my best to make a point of talking to the patient instead of about them. Even if I’m not sure they are coherent, simple reassurance and a friendly voice goes a long way I’d like to think.

@@stephenbaintonjr2718 exactly. You always speak as if they can hear you.

I'm already at that point...I'm 77 and it has already started.My youngest daughter is taking over making appointments for me with the doctor,the pharmacist...she even made appointments to have my two cats groomed from head to toe...of course I'm the one who foots the bill because I don't want to be a financial burden...life is tough enough as it is with everything that's going on.She spoils me...brings me Cappuccinos form Tim Horton and hamburgers from A&W.My oldest son comes and see me every week,they all live in neighboring small towns around me.So...I'm really spoiled.But time goes on and have all kinds of health issues and I don't want to be a burden!

@@oldchickie Are you Canadian?

@@oldchickie You are not a burden. You as a parent spent countless nights awake bottle feeding them and wiping their asses of s**t nonstop. You either worked your ass off, stayed at home or both to provide for them. The least children can do is take care of their elders.

@faithneilartfaithfully YES! Absolutely! I agree! Every person is a person and all ALL DESERVE then SAME QUALITY of treatment!

Sam Lutfi not where I live sadly

I live in NY in Long Island in Suffolk County and I agree w you if only they were as nice in even a 1/4 of it.

Well I’m becoming an emt, you can add more one nice paramedic to the list

Yuliya VlasiK that is awesome!! 😊❤️

Shaira Cambara totally understand!!

and its free at the point of use!

@@H0ney166 When I heard the guy talking about not wanting to bother his doctor, I immediately thought "yep, that would not be his answer in the US..."

@Hasmeen C. Bruh...People absolutely still try to do what they enjoy here. Some people of course do follow the money, but I wouldn't even say a plurality (let alone majority) have that as their sole motive.

I recently found out that in Germany they have emergency doctors who ride to the scene or home to help the patients. Being from the US this shocked me.

@7Cz4&eWEuaWd`c}/ 1 Well good for all of them I guess. 👍Sucks for us tho. The nearest hosptial is 30 minutes without teaffic..by the time I get an ambulance to my house and back to hosptial where there are doctors..I'd probably be dead. 😕

Susan Anderson agree, they are both amazing.

it saddens me that it's likely both are dead by now as this season was filmed in 2016

God lol

@@mrcapt8106 Don't judge someone because of their belief, you know fuck-all about what happens when we pass on.

@@EnUddaGamer you're right. Im sorry

@@mrcapt8106 Surprising, you changed your view on the subject, not many people do. Thank you.

She will have to wait a very long time for that…..

Yep! Three years ago I drove myself 40min to the ER with appendicitis. I was hunched over in extreme pain but I knew it would be a $2000+ ambulance bill and couldn't afford that being a college student.

Danielle McElroy i cant imagine that, im sorry you had to go through that!

Can vouche for that its sad but true here 😔

If you dont like it leave it

Many people call for an ambulance when one isn’t needed. That’s what drives the cost up. I used to work in a hospital billing office and so many people would call just for a cough or a sprain. A lot of people want to go to the ER because they don’t want to have to wait in one of the many Urgent Care’s or Clinics. This abuses the system and also makes costs for up for those who really need an ambulance.

My condolences, Margaret Patton.

Me too even though she's going through hell with pain she keeps smiling...that's a gift from God nothing less!

i think i can top yours.....i saw an episode where the call came in as a stabbing with major bleeding, and i swear to God it was a paper cut!!! the person actually said she knew if she said it was a stabbing they would come faster!!!!

I've seen people in the US call an ambulance for really minor things, too. It's so frustrating that calls like that waste time and cause delays for people who actually do need an ambulance!

@@stephanieadlerm My rule of thumb is that if I can treat it at home then I am not going anywhere. I have a small first aid pile of things. I can treat most minor injuries at home and change the dressings. If it needs stitches then I would go to the ER or if something was broken.

@@ameliashostak4764 There is one where an elderly guy calls them daily to use as a taxi basically

@@randdomize858 YESSS!!! i know exactly what you're talking about, i saw that one also!

Exactly. My aunt was the kind to never bother her doctor. She was found dead on her bathroom floor by the neighbor. After an autopsy they found cancer in her bowels that would have been painful for months. But she never went to the doctor. And this was in the UK where she didn’t have to pay for a doctor. Don’t ignore the signs your body is giving you. See a doctor!

I work as an emt and it depends, some pain meds can making other conditions worse. We can see what’s going on inside your body, especially in severe trauma and medical patients. So usually only necessary meds are given, only the hospital have the tools to make sure that any meds given that the side effects don’t make conditions worse. Every state is different as far protocols, my advice to check with your local state. Ask any paramedics you know in your area when they can and can not give pain meds.

@@unknown1238157 some placed probably have just BLS crew, meaning they don't have some1 trained in the knowledge and ability to give pain meds. bc. you can't just give out meds, you have to know when to give them, when now to, side effect, and stuff like that

as well as dosage, obvisously

Same in Canada

Thats not true. Advanced Life Support ambulances routinely administer pain meds. I just gave fentanyl to a patient that fell and broke ribs.

I'm sorry for your loss

i am so sorry for your loss my dude. shes looking down on you protecting you every day.

I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m sure your grandmother was an amazing women 💕

@@DrewMcgough Thanks ^_^

@@mauralawton3260 Aww, she was, thank you very much ^_^

My condolences.

@Stephanie Torres, my sympathies and heart go out to you

I laught so hard...

wait until you see them pissed, we also hve great bullshit dtectors

@@logangriffith4950 100%

Oh, I whole heartedly agree.

It seems like the US has "ambulance drivers" not paramedics or EMTs

I feel like scratch is a better description because an IV feels more like a deep scratch than a poke lol.

I can’t believe the size/gauge of needles they use for that “sharp scratch.” They are huge! So glad in the US, my chart says to use a butterfly needle on me (designed for children & tiny). And if I’m in a situation, where I see a larger needle heading my way I can say, “no you don’t!!!! Butterfly only, thank you very much!”

Soccer- they are in England. In Latin America, soccer is also called " football."

I got it everytime I went to the dentist for work, & I LOVED it so much, 8 year old me would TRY to get cavities so I could enjoy it. 😂 i was an IDIOT. it made me feel like i was flying.

Same lol I relate, when I went to a health cemtre for a nebuliser they hooked me up to a heart rate monitor and it was like 130 because I kept coughing a lot. Well I was panicking because I knew that was more than double the rate my heart should be beating and so when I started to panick I could hear the beeping begin to fasten lol

Because giant asshats of doctors have been prescribing narcotifc painkillers like they were candy. Now you have people addicted to opioids, cut off from the source, switching to heroin, because it's cheaper and easier to get.

Big Pharma!

Some dental offices use it but the pharmaceuticals run the US pain medications.

Yeah its mainly used in children's Dentistry. I wish they would use it here for other things. Then we wouldnt have such a horrible opiate crisis. So many young people die from accidental overdose from opiates, its just really heartbreaking!!!

I would rather see the occasional junkie get a free fix, than someone in pain went without pain relief

and don't call them "young man or woman"

Boys!😂

not in the medical field. HIPPA violation.

I think all countries should have them, protects every one.

@@momofcalgary no thanks, I rather not have my body exposed to a camera, nor would I like one in my face in a moment of weakness, sorrow, and helplessness. Things are confidential for a reason in the medical field.

Those are probably just so they can film for the show. On another episode another ambulance had to be called and the other paramedics did not have body cams.

Also what about that gas. It would help so many people and be so much easier for the paramedics if everywhere had that in my opinion

Spinal injury = you move 1mm and scream by the pain, in elderly patients not being able to move at all can be a sign of spinal injury since the low strength of a 91 y.o.
