Hey!!! I invite you to show the work of Biomedical Scientist andd what we do in the labs. Maybe ask your microbiology department as they are the ones testing the samples (not sure if lewisham has a micro department on site). I work in Histo/cyto but at a different hospital in london. Would be more than happy to explain the insides of Histo if you wanted.
Now, I think u DO a great job but I really feel triggered by how careless u guys are when it comes down to wearing PPE and keeping ur distance among urselves when clearly u work in a high risk environment and deal with the virus very closely- I just don’t get it- and it’s actually the thought of putting myself into that unsafe environment that would keep me away from hospital even if I became really unwell. I talked to my grandparents about the very same thing the other day. They said they would rather die at home than go into hospital and I really cannot blame them. I just don’t understand why ur so careless in situations like here where it would be so easy to just show more consideration and common sense by wearing a mask, not touching everything with ur bare hands and keeping ur distance - especially since ur in a position online where u should set an example. It’s just beyond me and I feel very uneasy seeing this tbh 🥴
@@jayjayfuller7078 they don't wear masks 24/7, only when dealing with patients. He probably washes his hands more then enough times. You didn't care before the coronavirus, depesite there being many viruses/illnesses/bugs around that could kill the vunerable anyway.
I'm a student paramedic with the London Ambulance Service and I would like to thank you for highlighting what we do to the public. Many members of the public don't realise how skilled paramedics are.
I totally agree! I had Pneumonia 3 years ago & was taking to the Hospital by Ambulance 😁 & even though I have no recollection of it 😋 I am very thankful to Paramedics for getting me there Safely 💙 😁 Erica x
@@howibreeze1630 I qualified as a Paramedic last September. There is a tough element to being a Paramedic because we treat patients prehospitally in a non controlled environment. But like any other job, studying hard and having the motivation will give you a bigger chance to qualify as a Paramedic. I personally enjoy the job.
I gave birth to my son in a ambulance . I never thought my labour partner would be a male paramedic 😂 . These guys deserve so much credit , so over looked at times but really are treasures 🙏
I'm 16 YO and I want to start my journey to becoming a paramedic within the next few years. While we are seeing public appreciation now for the whole of the NHS, yet there has always been a misunderstanding of the true job which paramedics and ambulance staff undertake, and the horrible situations they face from the very public praising them now. Paramedics are medical professionals trained at degree level in pre-hospital medicine, arguably they can have a tougher job (sometimes) than those in a hospital which have a reliable system for any emergencies. Paramedics are often the lead medical professionals on scene of any emergency the public faces, and yet they still face all types of abuse from the very people they serve. But after that, a huge thank you to the whole of the NHS and all key workers at this time!
@@abibarnes6539 sorry I've only just seen this now, but thank you! I hope you're doing good, and I wish you well on the rest of your journey too. I can only imagine how rewarding it must be.
@@jennagodfrey2561 that's cool, are you in year 11 or year 12 now (I'm guessing you're in the UK lol)? What college course(/s) are you doing?

And it's weird to think of other people the same age wanting to do the same thing as me, ik that I'll (or should I say we'll lol) meet loads in uni, but like it's weird to think of it now bc I don't know anyone in person.
Thanks for what you guys are doing right now. Back in 2012 you guys saved me after I suffered a seizure in the bath and went under water for 3 minutes and give me CPR and had a small pulse. After 2 shocks they got me back. After I recovered i was in tears for what they did to save me. And I couldn’t be more grateful. #StayHomeSaveLives 💙NHS💙
Can’t believe how much the ambulance drop off has changed in just under 2 months ago when I was admitted at the start of Covid-19. They thought I had it but it was an infection left over from the New Year when I had Pneumonia. The ambulances really should get the recognition they deserve
They do such a difficult job. So hard working and they are people that actually do care. Just a shame so many people do abuse this service aswell as cause criminal damage/assault these wonderful paramedics. Thanks for a awesome video doctor. Please take care and stay safe thru these difficult times 🌈❤
Great to see the sectioned aeas where people are brought in..I"m sure it will be re-assuring for people.👍I can't speak highly enough of paramedics. The two guys who came to my aide a couple of years ago when I had a bad burnt to my arm were my saviour. Because of what the did immediately means I can't even see the scarring now and it was a burn right down the length of the back of my arm. Forever grateful. Another great video thanks.
Hi Alex, I'm a Paramedic, qualified in January this year however I have 3+ years clinical experience whilst training. The job is fantastic, however difficult at present as I'm sure all other healthcare professionals can relate. Thanks for the video, it gives an insight for those who may have not seen inside an ambulance before. Proud to be a Paramedic.
I remember when he treated my child last year and he took his time and checked him very well no other doctor has ever checked that properly and nicely. My son had an high temperature and the reason was ear infection so I took him in A&E.brilliant job
Hello Dr Alex, you looked very tired after your Shift 😋 I hope you get some rest now 💙 Thank you, for the Wonderful job you do & to All NHS Staff 💙 & look after yourself as well 💙 Erica x
April and Natalie I hope this message finds you. The comment you made about not being paramedics, rubbish! You are as important as the other ambulance and paramedics Alex showed. Please do not talk down on yourself like that. You're both very much appreciated and the publics heroes! Take care and stay safe during these difficult times.
Oh wow I never knew they had that much cost behind each one incredible I've only been in one years ago with my mum luckily the paramedics and docs helped her and she's still with us today absolutely incredible service thank you for sharing this video! 😄
Hi Dr Alex,thank you very much for this video about Paramedics ..I'm so grateful to our NHS and all the staff...Thank you so much for all what you are doing..I'm so grateful 🙏🙏
It was lovely to see the inside of the ambulance I have been inside one with my husband when he was rushed to hospital that didn’t have any idea what all the equipment was thanks for showing me.
What I love about these is that an Australian paramedic could just jump on board and know where everything is. So similar to ours, except for the stretcher. Not sure what drugs British paramedics have in their kits, but probably similar treatment guidelines to ours.
Alex thank you for another great and informative video , we are so lucky to have Drs nurses paramedics etc etc in this country that care so much . Dedication dedication dedication 100% all day everyday. Thankyou for highlighting a day in your lives at a hospital,very trying times .
Think about this, supercars cost more than a vehicle that saves lives! How does suno work on the lungs when it's mostly air? ... I looked it up. That is pretty cool. I expected CT mostly, but this is so small and versatile. Thank you for covering all the different people that are involved in saving lives, patient care, and in general health care. So, I do everything from Dexa, X-ray, CT, and MRI. Nobody knows anything about radiology. Maybe you could go in that area and help people understand also.
Another really amazing insightful vlog. Its incredible how much kit the paramedics have and how multi trained they are they never know what is going to come in. Its nice that you have been working even closer with them. I've needed an ambulance and they are incredible. Thank you Alex for showing so many various roles that are so vitally important x
Loved this Alex, thank you for using your platform to highlight and educate people on the NHS and the amazing work everyone involved does. The videos you do are very real and transparent. Look forward to seeing more !
Thank you for showing us these videos. They are so very interesting. Thank you to yourself and all the other NHS staff working so hard in these difficult times. Stay safe x
So glad you ambulance service gets recognition they deal with situations before anybody else they're a huge part of care as always interesting video from you take care xx
This has been a great video Dr Alex, thank you so much! It's put my mind at rest a bit during these anxious times. Can not thank you and your colleagues enough for everything you do. I hope this video goes viral for you, it's good for people to see xx
Hey same! I'm 14 too and would love to become a paramedic. Finally I've found someone my age who's really intigued in this aspect of work :) Good luck to you! x
Very interesting to see and hear. Sadly I am all too familiar with the inside of ambulances having two adopted daughters with MH issues who are both under section in two seperate hospitals and still manage suicide attempts despite being on 1:1.
Hi Alex, I work for one of the companies supplying medical devices to London Ambulance Service (among others) Great to see the products in use! Really insightful - thank you for all of your great content and I hope you’re doing well during this tough time :)
I’m a student paramedic with North west Ambulance Service, this is a great video highlighting how we work together. Also I couldn’t get over how tall you are, your head was touching the roof 😅
Also Dr Alex, very good you pointed out if you Need the NHS you are still open 😋💙 Something of which Government & NHS Medical Director have been saying for weeks now on the Daily Updates 😋 Erica x
@@DrAlexGeorge Ok thanks I thought you had some stationed at the hospital. Just puts into consideration as i work in the car industry its around the same price as a top range Bentley Continental GT!
Ambulance service are separate trusts. Their will be stations dotted around what ever area you live,as well as deployment points where crew standby for calls.
Hi Alex, i love your videos, some really interesting stuff. Im a carer in a Nursing home and i volunteer with the community first responders group in my area although we have been stood down for the foreseeable due to covid 19 and lack of PPE and im also a type 1 diabetic with 2 kids. Im 22 and My partner is 26 and is a renal transplant patient with his 2nd transplant being 4 years ago💜 so we are well used to hospitals and have been in the ambulances more than a few times with our own problems. We are so appreciative of the work all the medical staff do everyday to protect people. These are worrying times but your little chats, tips and info help. Stay safe, and thank you for all that you do. Im in Ireland and we seem to be coming out the other side of covid so fingers crossed it continues that way.
Incredible video Alex, so informative & reassuring as always-eternally grateful to you & your wonderful colleagues throughout the hospital for everything you’re doing & absolutely love the videos, a sure guarantee to make a huge difference to our days each & every time! Xx💙
Keep it up Alex! This is so informative - it's nice to see the behind the scenes of what is going on just now for the NHS workforce. Thank you for all that you do!
I’m a fairly new subscriber, but just wanted to say I’m finding your videos really interesting and reassuring. It’s difficult right now to know what to do about medical appointments. Your videos make it all look very well thought out and safe. It’s especially good that you are young and have a following from previous adventures because you will be helping young people to understand more about how hospitals and doctors function and the importance of good practices such as hygiene etc in these trying situations. Perhaps (unless already done) show us how to apply and remove a mask safely. I’ve seen it done but many probably haven’t and it’s important.
Great to see inside the ambulances and talk to the paramedics who are key for dealing with the first minutes of an incident. Didn’t realise that there are two types of ambulance depending on the categorisation of the 999 call. Do doctors go out on ambulance calls when there are major incidents or is it the paramedics who have to make the decisions on how to treat patients in those types of calls ? Keep up the good work Alex and stay safe..👍👍👍👍
You have teams made up of Critical Care Paramedics and a pre-hospital Trauma Doctor that can be sent to the most clinically urgent calls, though there are very limited numbers of them, and of course the air ambulance usually has one of these trauma teams on board
Would be great if you could spend some time with radiographers in A&E, talking about coronavirus and their role in patient care in general. They’re a key part of the a&e team but one that is easily overlooked. 👍🏻
Thank you so much Alex for making these videos. This was incredibly interesting, as all of your videos are, especially as you are at my local hospital! Massive thanks to you for everything you are doing and everyone in the NHS and social care! 💙💙 would really have loved to be a doctor 😃
It looks so different than ours in germany. Nice to see, how the ambulance service in London is working and how the ambulances looks like. Greetings from Hamburg
Every nook and cranny of this ambulance is designed with a purpose. I was in Kuwait and saw an army British ambulance. To be honest with you, I liked theirs better than ours.
Do you struggle with mental health? I’m thinking of becoming a fireman or a policeman but am aware of the ptsd that could come with it and if I’m honest it’s a slight worry. The job itself I could most likely do, it’s the dwelling on it afterwards that worries me!
Another fab video! What would be amazing is if in the future maybe when restrictions aren’t quite so bad, doing a video of you actually on shift (preferably not with Covid patients) just the everyday normal patients 💙
Fantastic video Alex! Super imformative , super interesting seeing all the equitment needed in an ambulance. Keep posting these kind of videos! Maybe you could do a video with other hospital professions! I know you have done doctors and nurses but maybe receptionists and porters ect. 😊
V interesting. I always think that ambulances don’t look as though they moved with the times externally. I once rode in an ambulance with 2 day old newborn daughter from maternity home to hospital and it was a v rough jolting ride, sideways on, no seat or security belts ;)
So interesting thank you!! :)) really gave me a real insight! I would love for you to do a video on how doctors and maybe also paramedics deal with individuals with mental ill health who come into hospital. I would find that really interesting. Thank you for this video 😊
Hi Alex, hope your well? Again thank for another excellent video on showing us some of the equipment. Very much appreciated. How do you reassure patients that it is safe to hospitals. How could you do this? Thank you so much Alex, you are a great guy and a very caring person. Great on you! :)
Hey Alex!! Have you ever had to treat any of your family members or friends either in the hospital or at home, If so what did you have to do to them? Have you ever helped/treated someone that you don’t know that you have found when you haven’t been on shift
I'm planning on going into midwifery but have some doubts... could you do a video incl the day in the life of a midwife as well as asking midwives some questions?? I would love to see that
How cool are these bits ok kit?! 👌

Do doctors go out on ambulance calls when there are major incidents or is it the paramedics who have to make the decisions on how to treat patients in those types of calls ?
Keep up the good work Alex and stay safe..👍👍👍👍
Hey Richard ! Paramedics do plus there are pre-hospital care doctors that go out too :)
You have teams made up of Critical Care Paramedics and a pre-hospital Trauma Doctor that can be sent to the most clinically urgent calls, though there are very limited numbers of them, and of course the air ambulance usually has one of these trauma teams on board
Thanks for the info 👍👍
Would be great if you could spend some time with radiographers in A&E, talking about coronavirus and their role in patient care in general. They’re a key part of the a&e team but one that is easily overlooked. 👍🏻
Thank you so much Alex for making these videos. This was incredibly interesting, as all of your videos are, especially as you are at my local hospital! Massive thanks to you for everything you are doing and everyone in the NHS and social care! 💙💙 would really have loved to be a doctor 😃
Fair play to you alex! Nice bit of an inside of emergency day to day covid work! Great content man🇮🇪
Thanks Craig!!
Thx you for your hard work through this hard time in life
It looks so different than ours in germany. Nice to see, how the ambulance service in London is working and how the ambulances looks like. Greetings from Hamburg
just an ambulance no big deal
👏🏻 fantastic, Thankyou paramedics. X
🙌🏽
Every nook and cranny of this ambulance is designed with a purpose. I was in Kuwait and saw an army British ambulance. To be honest with you, I liked theirs better than ours.
Ive just started my journey with the NHS and im hoping in a few years I'll begin my paramedic training!!
Amazing 💙💙
@@DrAlexGeorge being able to be apart of the amazing work the NHS carry out is somthing I'll never live down
im so thankful for you guys x
Do you struggle with mental health? I’m thinking of becoming a fireman or a policeman but am aware of the ptsd that could come with it and if I’m honest it’s a slight worry. The job itself I could most likely do, it’s the dwelling on it afterwards that worries me!
The support we have is amazing and you get so much training on how to deal with difficult experiences x
Another fab video! What would be amazing is if in the future maybe when restrictions aren’t quite so bad, doing a video of you actually on shift (preferably not with Covid patients) just the everyday normal patients 💙
Thank you 💙
Fantastic video Alex! Super imformative , super interesting seeing all the equitment needed in an ambulance. Keep posting these kind of videos!
Maybe you could do a video with other hospital professions! I know you have done doctors and nurses but maybe receptionists and porters ect. 😊
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed 😊
I work on patient transport up in Northumberland love the job
💙 Thank you
that is so cool and did you know that you use the same ambulance for casualty
Awesome hope u keeping safe Dr Alex
Thank you!
Have u ever broken a bone in your body if u have? What was it
Starting my studies as a paramedic this year 🥰
How are they going
Loved watching this, going to be starting paramedic science in September 🚑💚
Ahh exciting!!!
V interesting. I always think that ambulances don’t look as though they moved with the times externally. I once rode in an ambulance with 2 day old newborn daughter from maternity home to hospital and it was a v rough jolting ride, sideways on, no seat or security belts ;)
Its whats inside that counts I guess 👌
Amazing video as always. When I’m big I want to be a paramedic. What is it like to be a doctor?
Go for
It! Amazing career!
Wow incredible job 🤨 I'm left speechless
My office ! Well done for the video.
Thank you Alex for another fab video. Very interesting.
Thanks for watching!
So interesting thank you!! :)) really gave me a real insight! I would love for you to do a video on how doctors and maybe also paramedics deal with individuals with mental ill health who come into hospital. I would find that really interesting. Thank you for this video 😊
Hi! Thanks for watching! This idea is noted 👌
Dr Alex George thank you!!
Hi Alex, hope your well? Again thank for another excellent video on showing us some of the equipment. Very much appreciated. How do you reassure patients that it is safe to hospitals. How could you do this? Thank you so much Alex, you are a great guy and a very caring person. Great on you! :)
Thanks for watching! We are so careful to isolate patients with coronavirus and so other patients have a minimal chance of exposure x
@@DrAlexGeorge Is there still a high chance in getting the virus? :)
Hey Alex!! Have you ever had to treat any of your family members or friends either in the hospital or at home, If so what did you have to do to them? Have you ever helped/treated someone that you don’t know that you have found when you haven’t been on shift
Thanks for that video inside a air ambulance service and a&e videos
Thank you!
Great insight I would have loved to be in the NHS 💙 loved hearing about the equipment and especially the portable ultrasound machine .. thank you 😊
I really would like to be a paramedic when I am older . 👮🏻🙏🏻💖✨😃
Hey Alex, I stumbled over your channel through Ali Abdaal. Nice videos!
Thanks for watching:)
I'm planning on going into midwifery but have some doubts... could you do a video incl the day in the life of a midwife as well as asking midwives some questions?? I would love to see that
I have a video like this coming soon :)
