Paramedics are an extension of God’s hands!!! You’re an extraordinary & selfless person to be able to know what you have faced & will face daily, & know you’ll experience the traumas that you come face to face with over & over…& OVER! I pray for you and all paramedics/first responders all of God’s biggest & greatest blessings upon blessings!!! Thank you soooooo much!!!!
I’m glad to see another person from the medical field who hates vomit and bones! I always get “how can you be a nurse if you hate those”. Turns out I can: perks of nicu I don’t see much of either 😂
The stripper walking across the screen cracks me up 😂 Thank y'all again for your service and for answering my questions! I'm glad your family is also healing from the trauma! ❤️
@littletraumamama 🤣 I also got a kick out of you asking Lee a million questions at dinner. I'm glad it worked out for y'all in the end! Y'all just seem to fit together perfectly. ❤️
@@littletraumamama I was thinking about something today that I wanted to ask you about. I'm glad that you had good pain control as I can't even begin to imagine the amount of pain that your injuries caused. However, I was wondering if you have any side effects from receiving the amount of meds that you did? I'm not a medical person so I was just curious.
my partner is a very nurturing person as well! he gives me so much comfort. you're absolutely precious together, I'm so glad you have each other. your hair is so pretty, I know the little flyaways are probably super annoying, but I personally think they look very cute!
Christy, I'm going to make you laugh here...I know that I am definitely OLD now, because I had to Google what HBIC stood for! When I saw what it stood for, I literally smacked myself on my forehead, unfortunately I had a stylus in my hand and poked myself in the eye with the darn thing. Luckily I'm okay because that would have been a very laughable 911 call! LMAO! I am surprised like Lee was that a human could tolerate all that amount of propofol and fentanyl. No telling what in the heck I would be seeing and thinking with that amount in me. I've had over a dozen surgeries, many of which were major and I was seeing all kinds of stuff on a lesser amount. I really enjoy when you two get together on a video, no matter what the content of it is. And did you notice while editing this that you probably literally scared the crap out of Bailey at 35:27? It was funny, sorry Bailey!
HAHAHA! I would've felt bad if watching The 411 on 911 ended up with you having to call 911 🤣 I didn't notice Bailey when I was editing, but I watched it with Lee earlier and noticed it then!
@@littletraumamama HAHAHA, I didn't even think about the 411 on 911 part. Believe me, if I lived in AL, y'all could do a video on my "stupid and embarrassing" 911 calls alone! I've lived a fun and colorful life with quite the amount of mishaps along the way. I'm sure I've been a stress reliever for a number of paramedics over the years. After all, they say laughter is the best medicine. Lol
Thanks to both of you for answering my 4839204 questions. lol I really enjoyed this video and all the questions from everyone and y'all's answers! I feel like I've learned so much.
I think I'm going to try a few different things and see what I like best. The video I'm editing now with the dispatcher was filmed the same place Alex and I did our video.
Thank you for answering my question Lee and Christy. A gallon of Propofol does sound insane. Wow! Very interesting as I’m coming from a psychologist point of view.
I was an EMT in the ER and rode with the local paramedics to keep my trauma skills sharp. I also did endoscopy when they needed help. Blood, puke, feces don't bother me. My Achilles heel? Suctioning vent patients. Lugies. No idea why I can tolerate all that other and not that one thing lol. There's some wrecks that I still recall 20+ years later, and a few episodes of child abuse. One man who spiral fractured his 2 year old son's femur was taunting me, "what you gonna do about it, b*tch?" I called security (ours were all cops, busy west side hospital) to protect that guy from me! I wanted to show him the steps up to the ICU up close and personal. Children always hurt more too. Walking out into the waiting room to call a patient back, and having a couple run through the doors and thrust a cold, blue infant into my hands was rough. We decided to work it solely for the parent's sake, even though it was SIDS. Weirdly the thing I hated most about being out on the rigs, no time to go to the bathroom or eat. The ER wasn't much better. I went into law enforcement for 20 years after leaving the hospital. 59 now, and looking back, I should have just done that all along instead of wasting 10 years at the hospital for crap pay and hours.
PS One of the paramedics I used to ride along with was working at a bike race. One of the bikes lost control and rammed into my friend, who's head went into the rig door and he ended up with a compressed skull fx. He was so conditioned to tones and getting up to run, his monitors would chime when his O2 would drop for example, and even in an induced coma, he'd still be trying to get up because he heard tones. They couldn't silence them, so they just restrained him. Your ICU story sounds a lot like his did! I'm glad you're doing so well now!
Thank you so much for sharing this video, I am one of those people that realize what you'll walk into, to a point. But I didn't ask the question in the Q&A that I wanted to so maybe you could address it later "do all EMT's care about their patients like you and Lee do?
I had to call for an ambulance a couple years ago for abdominal pain and vomiting (not in the rig, thankfully). I just wanted you guys to know how much I appreciated the medics who picked me up. They were so kind, caring, reassuring, and respectful. They were nice to my neighbors, too, and arrived without sirens, since it was in the wee hours. They had to put a 12-lead on me and since I had been sleeping prior to calling for help, I didn't have a bra on. So the medic asked me to move my boob away from where he needed to put one of the stickers. 😂 I thought it was amusing, but also very respectful, as I know some people wouldn't appreciate being manhandled in that way, especially while they were fully conscious. They also correctly assessed my condition and told me it was most likely a gallbladder issue. They wheeled me into the ER saying, "We got a hot chole for you!" They were right.
I love that story, and I'm so glad you had a good experience with them.I would play with my female patients (the ones I could tell where playful) and be like "ma'am, I need you to hold your titty up" 😂 Most of the men I've seen that's had to move boobs out of the way usually turn their had over so they're moving it with the top of their hand instead of the palm which would be more 'grabby' if that makes any sense. I know that's how Lee does it.
@littletraumamama 😄 That totally makes sense how Lee does it. Just brush it aside. Much better than grabbing like it's a bicycle horn. I also had an ambulance ride as a teenager, but I was out cold, so I don't remember that crew at all. I had always harbored a secret desire for an ambulance ride, but I passed out just as they loaded the gurney. I was actually disappointed when I came to in the ER and realized I'd missed the whole ride! 😂 That time, I'd been struck by a car while walking to school and had a head injury. You would not have enjoyed that ride - I was going for a medal in the vomit Olympics. In the ER, I think I had a dedicated "emesis basin nurse" or maybe two.
You answered my question ❤ Thank you! Here in the UK we sometimes use Ketamine for pain relief, and the reactions can be so funny, far better than crying in pain that for sure 😅
@Sharon-Carrell Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic. I've seen it used to reset broken bones and patients can become quite loud, giddy and delirious, often times it's euphoric and patients have no awareness of an otherwise painful procedure 💉🏥
I'm half way thru a degree in radiography in the UK so have to xray plenty of ortho trauma, one thing that always makes me feel funny though is the Achilles tendon.. When I have to xray people that have had repair surgery to their Achilles tendon and them having to move their leg from their hip or me lift their leg to put the detector underneath makes me cringe. That's from hearing about people's just snapping and also watching the movie "Hostel".. 😖🙈 That and knee caps.. When you know theyre dislocated or smashed to bits.. Just no haha 🤣 the rest, I love, the more traumatic, the better, obvs not for my poor patients 🙈😬
I noticed that your neck was bigger looking in the 1st videos. My neck is bigger too. Longer hair helps. Was your neck small before? Thank you from PA.
@@littletraumamamaHmmm..that is so strange. I was talking about my SVT. Maybe I did something wrong as I'm new to this TH-cam thing..:). Thank you for letting me know..:). I really enjoy watching you as I can relate to so much your talking about. Keep up the AWESOME content!!
I watched an older video only to find out that you have virtago and your were operating a 1500 lb motorcycle??? What were you thinking. You could have killed other people
Just because I have vertigo intermittently a couple times a year, doesn’t mean I can’t operate a vehicle. Obviously I would never drive WHILE I was having vertigo. Not that it matters, but my motorcycle weighed 674 lbs…. What an idiotic comment.

@@jessicamobley8847 Honestly, I don't know. I don't have a great memory and have a lot of brain fog sometimes, but who knows exactly what caused it.
@@littletraumamama I guess it's one of those things that you'll never know. I can relate.

haha thank you! It's about time to cut it again!
I wasn't told ahead of time you had your podcast and I love them.
I do think it's common sense that a new paramedic should have a minimum of 3 months with a seasoned paramedic. Loved this video, thanks guys.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Hey Christy I'm glad you are one that doesn't like vomit I don't like things that are severed from the body
You’re hilarious!!!
I noticed that your neck was bigger looking in the 1st videos.
My neck is bigger too. Longer hair helps.
Was your neck small before?
Thank you from PA.
I feel like I've had a large neck for a long time, but don't really care enough to go looking through pictures to analyze it haha
For what happened to Christy. How would that be managed with a person like myself that is allergic to all opioid medications???
Please explain to me what ketamine is??
It’s a very strong anesthetic that has dissociative properties. We call it putting someone into the “k-hole”.
