Well, you can call the ambulance... But think twice about taking a ride in it

U have to pay for aambulance? 0.0

iiKalani x yeah after your done with your recovery the bills also come with the ambulance ride

@@DijaK. yeah, in the US it can range from $250-$2500 depending on where you live.

@@josephcooper9043 yeah, I live in the Chicago suburbs so the minimum is prolly around 1k. Which is sad that a lot of people might have to make the decision of debt or death/pain.

Some people actually don't see the ambulance with their flashing lights. And other people freeze up and don't know what to do. They panic and all logic goes out the window causing them to pull out in front of the ambulance

You’d be surprised at the amount of accidents caused by people tryna race or cut off ambulances and fire trucks

Everytime I work it always happens even at worse situations makes me mad

Here it's a $2000 ticket to interfere with an emergency vehicle.

@@jujubug2000 That is just even more justification that they shouldn't be allowed to drive. If you cannot function in a car or notice FLASHING LIGHTS AND SIRENS then you don't deserve a licence you are a danger to the people around you.

Good moms will always represent that safe place. I don't think any of us ever really grow out of that.

I wish my mom was the best

Just lost my mom. I 100% agree. Moms are the best. Never take them for granted.

Not the one here 25:57

@Cassandra Hepp, I’m so sorry that you lost your mom. Yeah I agree moms are the best!🥺💖

I lost my licence due to my sezuires yes losing that indpendnce sucks I've learned ways to cope with it

Having seizures like that it really takes that independence away I myself have seizures and because of the severity of them and randomness I can't live alone anymore

Yes I am 14 and deal with seizures daily they haven’t found the cause but it has affected my school as well I could just be sitting down and I could either pass out or have a seizure with no signs I also developed tics after the seizure started so it’s been hard

I grew out of my seizures before I was able to drive so that was a good thing for me

Brittany Brooks that’s good

Lmfaooooooo😭😭😭

Every british series ever. They will give you a solid two minute intro for every episode and regret nothing.

They're INSANELY expensive

I have a Yorkie Poo as my service dog,he knows away ahead of time and alerts me

@@ajp806 aww I love Yorkie poos ❤️

Service dogs are great, but they're not a great solution for most people. Some people aren't cut out to be service dog trainers, and you really have to keep up with their training, and most people could never afford the overall costs of the dog. Especially since you can't train seizure alert dogs yourself. It's a natural ability the dog either has or doesn't have. Typically, people turn to charities, but obviously charity money is typically reserved for the most necessary cases

Kara plus ppl who get auras/alerts before seizures don’t really need them and it’s unnecessary for ppl who have like three a year

I love how sweet and gentle the paramedics were with him, as if he was their own father. And Kitty, bless her, bringing them tea! That's so British. :-)

@@LuckyBadger I know! That was so sweet, those two are are a beautiful couple.

What a "Mother". Smh.

Sonja M I feel so bad for Riley. Poor kid, horrible “Mom.”

A decent mother would have taken him to the hospital in the first place...smh

Buffy A Buffy A That’s an unfair statement, it assumes a mother would know the urgency out right (and if not that she’s a bad mother). A lot of pediatricians recommended going to them before the hospital, especially for something that can *typically* be treated in office, like the nebulizer the kid got. The problem here is the mother not taking it more seriously once the doctor made it clear the urgency.

@@toriw4103 Agreed. I can understand not panicking at first, but once the pediatrician made it clear there was a problem, then I would begin to worry and take it more seriously. As an asthmatic myself, I can definitely say trying to take even a single step while in respiratory distress is an absolutely horrible experience.

I'm so sorry for your loss!

Sorry for your loss

my condolences man, it's never easy losing someone.

So sorry for your loss, my papa has Parkinson’s and it’s hard :(

I'm sorry for your loss, hope things get better

I freak out everytime i see the ambulance. If i had to go in one i would starve on the streets after i paid for it.

@@jack_is_sloth4402 your insurance should pay for it. I had to go by ambulance when I broke my knee cap and couldn't even get up with the help of my parents. Didn't have to pay anything. They sent me a form to fill out and the i sent it back and insurance took care of it.

@@Black_SoulGem not all of us are that lucky

I‘m to busy wondering what it’s like to worry about your health instead of if you can afford it

@@Black_SoulGem yeah not everyone has insurance sweetheart, and not everyones insurance covers it completely

Probably because British people don't care so much about overdramatic music/editing and lame censorship

hotdog pepper Who you targeting to?

hotdog pepper Ah ok

hotdog pepper I never stated it was a fact, I apologize if it was misinterpreted in that way. I was asking rhetorically how my opinion had formed and what evidence existed to sustain that thought process. However, ironically, your own statement seems to deny me my own opinion in favor of your own. The tone directly correlates to this fact. In any case *it’s a rhetorical joke*

hotdog pepper also this has like 19 likes? Why do you care?

I’m in the us and every time I’ve seen an ambulance no one gets out of the way

Gengar 521 where I am in the us every car stops immediately

There’s entitled people everywhere in the world 😕

Whenever I see one everyone moves and tries to help them out

@@valindro8563 I don't think they're entitled. Probably just startled and don't know what to do

I think it's just poor education about her son's condition. She says later in the ambulance that he had been having an asthma attack for over 5 hours before she took him to the Dr and she didn't even know if she was supposed to take him to the Dr or not. Lots of people don't realize how serious asthma is. I've had asthma my whole life and I've basically been told and been treated like it wasn't that big of a deal. It wasn't until I ended up in the hospital with an asthma attack that wouldn't resolve that I had a Dr say "You should have been here with in 30 minutes of your rescue inhaler not working because you're slowly choking to death".

Wow 78 sat that must have been scary

Knight Bus

And the fact that he’s levels only went up to 93% on 8 LITERS OF OXYGEN...scary

what was the time stamp?

I know I was like what the heck. Thats your five year old son that's struggling to breathe! Sheesh

That “mom” made me so angry. How do you think she’d feel if *her* SATS were 82-89 and the paramedics said to her, “You can walk”?

She had such attitude about it, too. Ridiculous.

As an epiletic driving has never been an issue for me. But I can see how it could be for someone like Richard.

I was thinking the same thing. They just have such soothing voices

FACTS

She looks thoroughly unconcerned

@@HalBoswell absolutely. As the mother of a daughter with pretty severe asthma, I can't relate. I never would have let things get that bad. Ever. But even if it got that bad, you bet your behind my daughter is getting carried like the queen she is. The lack of concern is concerning here.

Can't judge someone's character on a 5 minute clip. Based on her behavior in the ambulance, adjusting his hair, moving his mask so its more comfortable, i don't think she's a bad mother or unconcerner. I would say she's more uninformed about the severity of his condition considering she looks like a new mom and he's fairly young. If you've never dealt with asthma before, you'd have no idea what they're undertaking, and a child can't describe that sort of thing properly. I hope she becomes more well informed as time goes on.

She’s a bit ignorant and should know more about his condition, but she’s obviously concerned.

My guy....

technically, people can walk all the way down to 60. But that normally requires lots of training and development and doesn't mean they would be doing a good job of it. Granted, she doesn't know what she is talking about. 85 while very active is still a safe amount, but increase of activity normally lowers and that sudden change can make a person collapse.

@@OmniscientWarrior not in a child

Made me so mad!

I love that too! Many US ambulance shows don’t do that, and you’re left with wondering what happened to them.

It’s all the shit in cigarettes nowadays that makes them cheaper to produce. When pregnant mothers smoke newer unnatural cigarettes, a lot of the crap that causes popcorn lung and all associated cancers will effect the development of the respiratory system. A small number of asthmatics developed it post-birth due to exposure to secondhand smoke in their developing lungs. The body completes development close to 18 years, and then the brain finishes development around 23. That’s why it’s crucial for children to be in healthy environments eating good food.

As a child severe asthmatic now adult with moderate asthma I'd say something about modern chemicals is kicking it off. From that first awakening, our immune system is stressed and exposure to other substances can induce an immune response.

Mold and cockroaches are big contributers also

I have had asmatha from 2 all the way to when I was 15 and still have itt

Morgan Ostermann yeah, I’ve had it all my life since birth myself and holy hell is it torture. People think getting rid of it is easy and just takes a little bit of exercise. There’s expensive Physical Therapy exercises that have to be given to improve the functionality of the lungs and slowly adjust them to being used more and more. It’s a pretty complicated cure, and the fact that most people think “a little bit of exercise will make it go away” no, it wont. I played softball for 2 years and the only physical improvement I got was better accuracy and the knowledge to jog as long as my lungs will let me. I literally blacked out and froze in shock from an asthma attack when my softball coach forced me to do more running than I could already handle, and I still don’t understand why I was being punished for shit another kid did.

Time?

@@James31006 25:57

I was wondering if anyone else heard that. I could not believe it!!

@@AlicexMarie It's like, yes, he can walk, BUT NOT AT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S GOING THROUGH!

@@Flamsterette I could maybe understand if she was new to all this... but as I pointed out on another comment, I believe I heard the Dr telling them when they arrived that this isn't his first incident like this. And even then, she said it multiples times from when they arrived up to the walk into the hospital after they had explained he couldn't walk.

I had a small asthma attack on an early August’s day in middle school, on the ride home, after my brother swung his fist backwards at me while sitting forward and I was in the seat behind him. I tried so hard to stay calm and move. I really thought I was faking it but he did some considerable damage to my throat muscles. I think I still have issues with the right side of my neck today, but I can breathe fine. The temp outside was like 92°F? And very humid, so breathing was hard. I blacked out but I knew I was conscious. Got a hospital ride to the ER and then had to wear a neck brace for a few weeks. I hated it. I remember being in the ambulance and then being in the ER with my family and the doctor and drew a picture to focus myself. That’s all I really remember after he hit me. He regretted it and apologized a lot.

@@partysuvius this doesn't sound like asthma

Hicknopunk it was. It wasn’t a typical asthma attack. My severe ones make my body freeze and I black out. I don’t breathe. It’s strange.

@@partysuvius okay.

That must have been so awful for your dad. He must be a very caring person.

In Germany, there'd be a doctor ON scene during ANY kind of emergency...

@@Asta453 *cries in broken american capitalism

Nah he's gonna know how dad was just trying to make the other kid feel better.

@@oklahomasunrise4050 mabye, mabye not... we will never know

Might not even have a son. He might be just saying stuff to make the kid feel better lol

@@kerryh3833 very good point

It is just blowing smoke that idiots would buy into and believe. Luckily, kids are dumb. But putting people in a positive mindset improves their chances of survival and makes them more willing to work with you. However, if a person is smart enough would fully understand, just dealing with a situation that you have/had no say in has nothing to do with being brave or courageous. "Someone snuck up on you and hit you upside the head with a shovel. You are so brave. Didn't know they were coming and had no reason to expect it. That is just because of how courageous you are." Not wanting to give up on life rarely has anything to do with being brave, for some, it is actually the opposite, they are just that afraid of death.

Not as much as compensating very well as it is, when something small happens, because they are smaller, the affects are greater by scale. Adults bodies have built and conditioned for shortfalls, so they tend to not only understand what those signals mean, but get more of a warning before it is impactful enough to be a threat to them.

Robots.

It's simple people are extracted so easily it's annoying me as well. When I drive I don't even bother looking at my phone even when I get a text. People need to pull over into a parking space then use your phone. There phone is not going any where yet people still use them. If you hear a emergency vehicle then pull the freaking over so they can get through. As$ drivers

John Ngo You can always get a Bluetooth. Granted you may not be able to call someone but you will be able to answer calls if they are important phone calls while you are driving. Additionally you will also be able to drive safely and be aware of your surroundings as well.

Imagine getting your neighbours to vote the guinea pig head out of office and then go on to make this possible *inside* of the US... but I guess people in rural areas of the US are still too afraid to loose their job even if that job makes them sick enough that they die before they reach 40 years of age... it's such a downward spiral. Ironic and sad. I'd say I'm sorry for you but that doesn't help you guys... I'd say emmigrate but the truth is our health care systems are already at a breaking point and I don't think it could cope with even a fourth of the american population joining ours. ^^' Not with all the immigrants from war zones already here and in need of help (ironically, they often come from countries that the US picked fights with for resources - "America first" and all).

dont you have a family physician

Kat hie lmao such different animals 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never heard of the dog breed called killer whale

thatjokerperson really? They’re pretty common in the Western parts of America

@@Brandon-bi4cj yeah i have three i cant believe they don't know of this dog breed..smh

If I could be an animal, I'd wanna be either a salt water crocodile or a larger bird, like a raven oder a cockatoo or a macaw

A lot of people seem to be hating on her for it. But its possible that she just didn't know how to handle the situation. They mentioned it was only the second time it had happened

@@evanmildrum897 yeah ngl I've lived with severe asthma for about 22 years now and I dont know how to handle it myself half the time and I can feel exactly whats happening. I never expect others to know how to handle it. Its a lot less predictable than a lot of these armchair doctors would like to imagine and the mother is likely not a medical professional and is only just learning about it herself. 85 sat likely means literally nothing to her, nor will she realize how difficult walking can be with an asthma attack. Ive had to explain to most close people in my life what it feels like because unless you've felt it its near impossible to understand. Though I was told the comparison of breathing through a straw and thats been a good go to since.

@@evanmildrum897 I agree. The school called and she came, took him to a doc right away, and then gets dragged for minor stuff. I have chronic pain and back pain and maybe it’s even something like that. In any case, mom to mom, I think she did okay given the circumstances. I’ve worked with other kids whose parents have literally said, and I quote, “if the school phones me for her behaviour again, I will not pick her up”.

there's a difference between an ID and a driver's license 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

Charges a whole hell of a lot more just for a transport.

😂 they gotta stay happy somehow, with all the stuff they see and deal with

It's good that they're motivated and enjoy their job, I wouldn't want to be treated by a paramedic that would get anxious or depressed every time they got a call.

Migraines can have some bizarre symptoms. Slowing of time, speeding up of time, seeing colors, hallucinations, a feeling of trancendence or out-of-body feeling, and even more neurological symptoms have been associated with migraine disorder.

I had a massive migraine the night before I got Bells Palsy, it was so bad that I was getting vertigo amd almost passing out, but since I was watching Cells at Work I ignored it

@@aadams1006 Yes! I get regular migraines (3 times a month when I got it under control well, but in bad months or when some things in my life are off it can go up to 10-13 a month) and I will sometimes just absolutely jumble up my words or go crazy wondering where a strange smell following me along all day comes from. It's so weird what the brain can conjure up during migraines. To me it usually feels like my brain's entire processing power is put into something weird rather than something I am trying to focus on - also pain but that goes without saying

@@kikicorleone3525 Have you read Migraine by Oliver Sacks? It's very insightful.

I think the problem is that "migraines" are treated so casually. There's always a cause of some sort so there's more going on than just the pain. And that cause is why there's sometimes other symptoms.

But thank God she did- God bless you both!! 🤗💗🌷

I had that during a CHOIR CONCERT. Can you imagine?

Poor dear glad she recovered

Oof I'm glad she is alright! It took me 3 and a half months to recover and it was awful! It started on March right after the pandemic

It took me a little over four months ! It was terrible as I had just started boarding school 2 weeks before!

I had to go in pajamas and slippers once. A bit awkward when catching a Lyft back home the next morning 😂

Could have happened from head trauma you don’t remember going through. Much like how you blacked out before waking up in the ambulance. The absence of memory sometimes wont even get noticed after a while.

My first one happened when I was 15 they lazily said a stress seziure and sent me on my way with no meds or anything to help me deal with them 5 years later I got the meds I need because I had two seizures in front of the medic and one before they arrived

usually when they cant figure out what caused it, that means its was psychosomatic (meaning triggered by some psychiatric thing like stress or other mental condition, not by any problems with your physical body), but too many doctors refuse to diagnose or treat psychosomatic conditions because there's the myth that "it's all in their head/they are just faking it", which is really sad..... Psychosomatic seizures are just as outwardly serious as epileptic seizures, just not as deadly and with a different root cause. Medics can tell the difference between the two, and one of the general characteristics of psychosomatic seizures is just straight passing out with no warning. Or, like another comment said, i could be totally off and it could be due to a head injury or other such thing that you don't remember, since the effects from a brain injury can take a long time to actually show up. Telling doctors exactly when, where, and what you felt like when it happens is the only solid advice i can give, lol

Technically, that can happen to people in the UK and US as well, just rarely happens as they don't have time or finances to sort that stuff out, could be a waste compared to where that time and money can go to help others. Also, try proving the person that owns the vehicle was the one in it. By the time you get them to court, the person may not even remember themselves if they had been the one driving it at that time, it is almost akin to asking them what they had for breakfast that day or if they hit snooze on their alarm.

Baloney! - Never had such an experience. Shame on you generalizing all the service. Perhaps you are a terrible Karen of a patient. - No generalizing of course!

Not only UK. Europe as a whole.

I'm so sorry to hear that♡ how is he, and how are you doing with it? ♡♡♡

Well hard drugs make you feel wonderful in the moment and then you crash down into hell. You can apply the same mentality in a relative way to avoid the two.

@@scratchpad7954 I want cheese and chocolate now

See if you can do cardio activities especially with rhythmic breathing. Swimming sometimes is good, sometimes isn't, depends on the person and the day. But rowing might help. The idea is to strengthen up the lungs and diaphragm to allow for your body to be better capable of dealing with an attack. Of course, work with properly trained people for this. Asthma doesn't mean you can't or should not do things that make you short of breath all together. We even have Olympic gold medalists that have asthma. But it does mean that you can just do that all willy nilly.

Thank you. I really enjoy being in the water, I'm not a very good swimmer but with what I can do regards to swimming, i can do for hours without feeling the tenseness in my lungs or the burning i often get in my kungs with physical activities. I would love to be able to go on hikes and other activities other people do but the doctors can barely keep my asthma controlled so it makes it hard for me to take any risks right now. But if there is a chance that some form of cardio might be able to strengthen my lungs then once the smoke in my area clears i can see what kind of things i can do with trained people.

A dash cam? Yeah they have those already and they ticket people already with dash cam footage.
