ambulance crew have massive respect from me there always like this .. fire crews also ... police zero respect anymore

It's part of the training. Most paramedics are i have met are similar.

Yeah they can be funny but if I done it I'm sure it wud be classed as unprofessional an given sack, time an place sometimes it can lift ur mood, hav heard police laughing outside a critical wanted patient in hospital bed , even if they didn't mention him bit inappropriate but they are human

@@seangotts6470 i don't know where you're from but i will just assume you're from the usa. i find it quite sad that police don't get any respect anymore because 1% is behaving badly. i am from europe and actually wanted to serve police after serving in the army for some years until the rank of captain. but the respect for police i find the other way around: i just want to serve my country as best as possible since i am quite patriotic but there are people attacking police for no reason and making their life difficult and there were also some laws against people in uniform made in my country that i had to stop to pursue my dream, because i didn't want to risk my health and life in jail for only wanting to try to help people

It’s called having built up city’s in the northwest not even the Londons air ambulance doesn’t fly at night

no air ambulance fly at night as the risk of wires or and phone lines etc are harder to see at night even with night vision goggles.

@@wardaddytv2097 i think YAS flies at night depending on where the call is

Where are you from? Causality usually means someone who's been injured, either fatally, critically, or walking wounded. Fatality means they usually died.

@@benjamin3615 In the U.S. casualty is generally received as a death. I can't speak for everyone here, but if we hear "there are 2 casualties" almost everyone thinks 2 deaths not injuries.

@@phillyfan7415 I am American and a Firefighter/Paramedic. Casualty can mean someone died, but we usually use the term "fatality" when people die in vehicle or other sorts of accidents. Casualty is just a broad term to mean dead, injured or destroyed.

@@benjamin3615 True, but the general public does not view the meaning of the word in that sense. If a news story popped up on an average American person's phone that said "multiple casualities" people automatically assume multiple deaths, they don't assume it means multiple injuries.

@@phillyfan7415 As another average American, I can confirm this lol

true but each country has is own help line which isnt meant for emergencies but maybe this man didnt know that number because he was in foreign country? i think you right bud judge to fast

Are you sure "Bad breath" wasn't their way of trying to say breathing/chest problems? I can see an ESL (English second language) person saying that by mistake because they can't find the right english words to describe it, plus being in pain effects your thinking. I don't think someone would call emergency services just because their breath smells bad. Maybe it's just because I'm in the States where it costs thousands of dollars just for an ambulance ride, so I can't fathom calling emergency services for something so dumb.

Bad breath=breathing issues

@@shepherdbrooks7609 lol, you'd be surprised. 90% of the calls you get on American ambulances are about the level of calling 911 for actually having bad breath due to poor dental hygiene. They don't care because they're not gonna pay for the ambulance ride anyway.

& no one should be paying for an ambulance. The average costs that U.S. citizens have to pay even with insurance is absolutely absurd and leads to people losing everything simply because they got sick. My favorite story is the man who had chest pains and took ambo and when it was found out that it wasn't CA, his insurance said they weren't going to cover it because it was "unecessary".... yeah, AFTER THE FACT. All health insurance companies are for profit- which means, approving and paying for medical needs is a LOSS. They literally kill people and the U S is just a-okay with it.

How's paramedic school going for you so far? Are you at university doing a paramedicine degree?

​@Coover a lot of community colleges and Healthcare tech schools offer 2 year programs. At least in TX I know they do

@@NolanB91 That's handy. Here in Australia to work on emergency ambulances you need a 3-year University degree in paramedicine followed by a year as an intern. The university fees alone costs about $25k.

Loss of hearing from it?

@@AllenTax from it?

@@AllenTax no i had a tumour in my ear,bacteria so had to remove it

I can’t believe it got an ambulance response

depends on the type of bug? idk

@@darbarbinkz honestly it’s poor triage as an ambulance crew there is nothing we can do, we would literally just drop them off at the hospital a waste of a response in truth They should just get a taxi or make own way And sadly when that ambulance arrives it’s taken away from someone else who might be very unwell

@@shaunminto26 they should be charged then

@@wonderwend1 absolutely they should be but the nhs is a free service

What did he say?? To me it sounds like gibberish, like his friend something then I just don’t understand anything after

Ambulance still carry it, but I've not seen any one actually use the collars, we just use headblocks with strap

In Australia we use the NEXUS assessment. I've heard American EMS crews in videos say "we're going to put a collar on you "just in case" ". So amateurish.

@@coover65 no it's not they do it because they are just being cautious and I am a person who has had to have a neck collar before and they did it because they have an overabundance of caution which I was very grateful for and yes they use it just in case but I would rather have them use it just in case then be paralyzed if something is wrong with my neck that's not amateurish that's good they care about you and what's going to happen to you

@@PaigeLovelace Like any medical procedure, you perform an assessment first to make sure what you're about to do or give is indicated. You apply a C-collar for a number of reasons. 1; You suspect a high mechanism of injury based on the damage you're seeing as you approach the car. After an assessment you recognize a diagnostic pattern of an SCI. You notice impaired motor, sensory or autonomic function or consider all the clinical aspects of neurogenic or spinal shock. So, in a nutshell you apply a collar after an assessment and based on sound clinical judgement. Consider this; A professional might say "this patient presented with diaphragmatic ventilation, loss of proprioception and bradycardia as well as impaired autonomic function after being a high-speed collision. That's why the spinal immobilization has been applied." If you hand over a patient and say "we put the collar on just to be on the safe side" that just says you didn't do a proper assessment. So, as I said, very amateurish. A professional will clinically justify every procedure.

Hello I am a student paramedic and we were always told to not make use of neck braces because they are very dangerous in most situations as it can obstruct nominal breathing and in even worse cases can break the spinal cord in more serious injuries such as car crashes or hard falls.

Yeah pal

These people and their families give permission to have their stories shared

Years ago, I was involved with a TV crew doing video of the likes of "a shift with paramedics" as a short doco. My role was to view the footage and make sure that there wasn't something that might seem our paramedics did the wrong thing. That's usually via bad editing where they chop and change the order of treatment, so it looks like you've done B before A and so on. The step before that is to make sure the patient/guardian/carer consents to being shown. Probably 25% of what is filmed makes it to the final production.

It's probably his sister who takes care of him, but he was supposed to be alright going out for the day because he was with a friend. The friend was evidently as useful as a chocolate fireguard as he managed to survive unscathed and the poor bloke took the brunt of it. Thing is, adult social care in this country is a bloody joke. If you're single, can't work, have no savings etc, you're basically on your own unless you agree to be put in a home and have all your finances taken over by the provider because the council won't pay for it. Anyone with someone to look after them, any family at all, is left to deal with it themselves too. There's little to no wheelchair accessible housing, social landlords won't let you under occupy because of bedroom tax, and all the new builds are 2+ bedrooms, so everyone just shrugs and says what you need doesn't exist, as if you can just stop needing it if they refuse to provide it. There's no duty of care at all anymore, you just get referred from one useless charity to another, all of them wondering out loud why they sent you to them, and nothing gets done. Doctors can't help either, they have no power, and social workers despite working for the council don't actually have any pull with them, not that councils have any properties themselves anymore. It can vary by local authority of course but generally speaking, social services isn't worth the council tax that pays for it. You'd think with all the people not having their needs met that someone might go "hmm, should we maybe do something about that?" But it's easier to just trap vulnerable people in never ending loops of nothing until they give up and die. Then the "lessons will be learned" blah blah blah. Nothing changes.

At least in my part of the world (Australia) Paramedics have a university degree in paramedicine, whereas medics is a broad term especially used in the military for medical staff.

There’s a “pair of them”

Paramedic is stronger so more responsibility. 😊

Because the ambulance isn't private property?

I think you’re reading into a little too far

@Shlt watch even the caller's face change. That's the purpose of the scene. How is it not awful, tell me that

@@LMA_PLS watch the paramedic's face after he says that, he is upset by it as well. It's a flippant attitude directed at a specific group, I think I'm seeing exactly what it is and reading exactly what the program's subject is reading of it

@Shlt Again, watch the video and see the reaction of the call operator. It's discrimination in the medical field and it costs lives, but only lives you don't seem to care about.

i know it sounds strange but the bug could have made it harder for him to get to the hospital himself. it's often very painful and disorientating so driving would be very difficult. and yes, he really did need to go to the hospital. not acting quickly could have damaged the ear. it's not because he's a foreigner.

Because a bug in the ear can effect your balance and your ability to drive making them dangeorus to be on the road. Well done for showing yourself up as a racist though

what’s him being a foreigner gotta do with it. ur just plain racist.

I had internal bleeding in my bowel and they refused to send an ambulance for nearly 3 hours 💀

I think the UK work their scene management like we do in Australia. Here you bring the hospital to the patient, and an ER is an adjunct to the chain of care. Everything that would be done at an ER within the first hour is done by paramedics. Having said that, every second spent on scene is value added. Comparing patient extrications done in the US compared to here, Americans seem to stand back and let the FD get the patient out after only doing a basic check on the patient. Here we manage such extrications, and where possible will get into the car, do a full set of obs, get IV access and administer pain relief. I see videos of US scenes where they pull a critically ill patient out of a car, and there's no IV access, been no cardiac monitoring etc. Not the fault of US EMS crews, but they seem more focused on load and go, rather than comprehensive treatment. More than happy to be corrected if wrong.

Trust me, if they assessed it to be time critical, they would have left the scene much quicker.

Yh diffrence is you pay thousands of dollars for it over here mate its free we don't get left to die becuase we might not have the money

texas sat back and watched elementary school children get murdered. your first responders couldn’t be more pathetic if they tried

My friend got clipped by a car on his leg and it ruptured his femoral artery and shattered his pelvis. The ambulance had to pull over twice as his heart stopped twice on the way to hospital. The end result was surgeons having to amputate his leg to save his life.
