I spent a second day shadowing flight paramedics in a helicopter! Watch them jump out of a hovering helicopter and care for a patient with a critical spinal cord injury. See them in action and learn what a day in the life of a flight paramedic is like.
Plus, I learned something new about how to treat nausea without any medication!

As someone who spent 21yrs as a paramedic, the best piece of advice I can give you is to develop a "toolbox" of HEALTHY coping mechanisms and stress relief practices. If you aren't mindful of it then when you're in a crisis it's all too easy to grasp onto unhealthy ones like drinking too much or extreme risk-taking. Often, it's not the one-off dramatic newsworthy things that get you it's the slow Death by a Thousand Cuts. EMS can be an amazing and fulfilling job but it can also wear on you mightily, especially if you're in an agency where you are well-supported and you aren't paid fairly. I miss it terribly I would still be working as a medic if I weren't disabled now from an autoimmune disorder.

Lemme tell you, as a medic for 11 years. 95% of your calls will be for bs stuff. You’ll see in your clinicals and ride alongs. Remember your scene safe bsi. ABC’s and wives are equally crazy as husbands. But when you do get “that” call it will make up for all the bs. Once you save your first life. I mean truly. Don’t get a god complex. I’ve seen too many hero’s get that and they spiral out of control.

I 100000% second this! I deal with both repeatedly infected & non-infected kidney stones, renal colic & pain with kidney stones jumbling around in my kidneys and the kidneys then spasming - would NOT wish that pain on anyone EVER, stents etc; which comes with massive nausea issues from electrolyte imbalances with dehydration, increased protein in urine & blood, plus just nausea from extreme pain. This is my go to nausea trick! Although, I personally prefer the scent of the combined 70% alcohol & 2% chlorhexidine pads though, rather than the plain alcohol scent. 🙌🙌🙌

This is an amazing insider view to what the profession is like! Critical Care Paramedicine and Paramedicine as a whole is growing quickly and having someone like yourself with an amazing platform show off what these wonderful folks do everyday is something I love and would have LOVED to see as a younger person deciding on a career in Paramedicine. Thank you for giving us a glimpse to what Critical Care is like!

Your niece is in the best country to be a paramedic. Nationwide, there's not really anywhere that trains paramedics like we do with our national curriculum. I've been a paramedic for 25 years and couldn't see myself in any other profession. Working in a regional/rural town gives fresh paramedics a real opportunity to think laterally. In comparison, working in Sydney/Newcastle/Wollongong are training grounds in their own right. Best wishes from Qld.

I suffer migraines. I had one at work (at a hospital) and a nurse that I work close with could tell I wasn't feeling well. I told her I had a migraine and was starting to feel nauseated. She opened her drawer and said "Here, hold this under your nose." It was an alcohol swab..and I tell ya it really does work for me. So I've used that trick every once in a while now for the past 5 years or so.

Isopropyl alcohol has worked well in prehospital settings. Since EMTBs (emergency medical technician basic) cannot start IVs, that is sometimes the only thing they can give for motion sickness. Thankfully it reduces the nausea in many patients.

I keep telling myself that watching your helicopter med-evac videos will help me overcome anxiety for that time I was transferred between hospitals after cardiac arrest, but I still find myself breathing hard and tearing up. That patient's story also reminds me of when I woke up from the coma and had severe sciatic pain, possibly from a calcified gluteal tendon. It was almost as bad as a time I had a cervical disk injury that made my right arm from my shoulder to my fingertips feel like it was a combination of a piano string someone was banging on, plus being plugged into an electric socket, and set on on fire all at the same time. That pain was so bad I told the nurse in the ER to kill me now. After having experienced a heart attack and cardiac arrest, I still stand by that statement. Nerve pain is worse, although to be fair, I have amnesia for the heart attack and cardiac arrest.

I had a ride on the air-lift chopper 6 years ago. Too bad I never realized it. Closed head injury, brain bleed, multiple severe seizures, intubated and placed in an induced coma. Actually died three times before being stabilized. Didn't come out of it for three days (so I'm told). A month in the hospital. It burnt out so many brain cells that now I can barely walk (virtually no feeling) and have limited hand control, hence this message taking half an hour to type. Everything requires a conscience control instruction to operate. Oh well, got a chopper ride anyway. Always great videos. Thank you for those and have a great day.

Huge respect to anyone who does this for a living (and you for riding along). Former highway patrolman here who retired young to become a doc. In med school we had a lecture on helicopter EMS (HEMS) safety put on by the military. This was a few years after the Trooper 2 crash in Maryland (that NTSB report is worth a read). As per a 2006 paper published in the Annals of Emergency medicine, an HEMS pilot has a *37% chance of being at the controls during a fatal crash* in his/her career (one that kills pilot, co-pilot, flight nurse, patient, or a person on the ground). This assumes a 20 year career, flying 20 hrs/wk. The point of the lecture was the concept of over-triage (e.g. ground based EMS calling for air when it was unnecessary). While I read the paper years ago, it remains the most alarming statistic I've ever seen in medicine. I have certainly seen some dumbass shit out of volunteer firemen calling STATflight because they were looking to be on the 6'o clock news. PD supervisors often stepped in and insisted on ground transport. HEMS should not be involved when the accident is on a highway six miles from the hospital and there is no traffic!

As a gastroparesis patient, I’ll have to try the alcohol swab trick, I’ve never heard of it! Thanks for the amazing video as usual 💜

I dropped off this channel for about a year because I remade my KZfaq. I don’t know you personally but I’m so gosh darn proud of you! 🎉

I love that they gave you an alcohol swab to sniff for your nausea. I work in PACU and it's a little trick we use for post-op nausea.
