- This week on Inside The Ambulance, Preet and Leon respond to a young woman having a panic attack, Hannah and Grant rush to a young child who has had a seizure and later to a man who has been clocked over the head with a bottle.
For the very first time, an ambulance has been rigged with cameras that provide a unique perspective on what it's like to respond to emergency calls. Paramedics from the West Midlands Ambulance Service in England take us right into the heart of the action. We see heroism at work in the actions of these first responders. We also enter the lives of people in crisis and learn their unique stories.

Leon’s patience and kindness during that panic attack was so beautiful to see. I’ve been in that girls position, and you really do think you’re going to die. I’ve had paramedics basically roll their eyes at me and act like I’m wasting their time, which, maybe I was, but everyone’s emergency is unique to them.
The way he explained things to her, and even recommended a way for her to talk to her doctor was great.
I appreciate the tributes to the patients that have passed.
What's sad is that if you've seen it once you always know when someone is in the active stages of dying. It's more common to see in the elderly, but its generally a lack of appetite, mood changes, skin color changes, and they will tell you. It's not always immediate. Not everyone has those exact stages, but generally a decline in appetite and mood changes (not wanting to go out and in general just wanting to stay isolated from what ive seen) are usually seen.
Sadly, that has been the pattern that I've witnessed with two of my family members....😔
Yeah he reminded me of my grandma right before she passed so I knew he was likely dying as well, I cried it was sad
My grandmother passed during the beginning of covid. She was 96 and had fallen and the paramedics were called and as my dad was trying to move her out of a wheelchair into a regular chair, she passed away in his arms. She didn't have a problem with appetite (unfortunately, she passed that genetic cruelty onto me - I always threatened to sue her for that and other things, and she would say, but baby I don't have any money. I would reply, it's the principle, grandma and she'd laugh). She had balance issues with falling, but other than that she had survived a mild heart attack and rehab and had been bought home where she did get winded easily. The week of her death, I spoke to her and she was extra sweet and loving when she said goodbye. Sometimes, I'd tape our chats so I'd always have her voice, and could listen to her stories. She was still sharp and had a better memory then me. I wish I did that time. When I hung up, I just knew that she was saying goodbye and it would be soon. There were times after rehab where she'd say things like I don't know if I'm going to make it until I can see you again or something to that effect. She was preparing me. Sadly, I missed her funeral and my step-mothers because of stupid covid, but they'll always be in my heart.
@@ScarletBrimstone I’m so sorry for ur loss praying for you stay strong
@@scmiller20 I’m so sorry for ur loss praying for you stay strong
That’s an excellent idea for panic attacks to slow breathing. Great male paramedic.
Yeah I never thought about it but I'll put a piece of paper with big letters so next time I get one I can read what's on the wall
Square breathing is helpful- inhale on 4, hold on 4, exhale on 4, hold 4.
@@MJ_Hershey yes it totally is. 😀
Helps with anger issues too. I struggle with anger outbursts and I’ve learned to just sit down when I feel it getting out of hand and do a proper breathing exercise for a few minutes. It helps your body and mind to calm down and to think rationally. 10/10 would recommend oxygen
@@lavishlyvice They're often called anger attacks and are commonly associated with anxiety!
It’s still shocking to me how patients like John are unwell but still talking and walking one day and a few days later they’re gone forever... very sad. People can survive so much but in the end life is still such a fragile thing. RIP John
So thankful for the explanation and clarity on the pins and needles symptom with a panic attack. That symptom is usually the one that lets me know a bad panic attack is coming fast. Thankful I haven’t had a bad one in awhile due to my medication working well for me. Reminded me just how freaking awful they are and especially how you feel afterwards, and even days after when it’s severe enough 😫 like an anxiety hangover.
I'm going to have to keep that reading a book trick for the next time I have anxiety or panic. That's actually really useful, if it will work for me
Me, too!
Agreed
Worth a try!
I suffer from really bad anxiety attacks and you know what helps that the doctors told…, don’t send the message but you have to say it in your head and before it happens
And drinking lots of water helps as well
Praying for Lauren that she will see her doctor for her panic attacks. May the panic attack dissipate.
Praying for sweet little Leo, that his seizures will resolve.
Praying for Jennifer's health and her future.
Praying for Ricky that he will have a safe and happy life.
Praying for John's family and friends, may they have comfort and peace as they go through the grief process.
Hopefully she sees her GP for her eating disorder. It sounds like the stress of that is causing the panic attack. Mayb if she gets her eating disorder under control, she won't have PA. Poor thing. PA are the worst thing ever. Feels like ur dying. 😔
I almost always forget that "fitting" means seizure and chuckle cuz I think its an emergency that the child is acting out haha and then I get very sad because I realize what it actually means
Where I live we say, "Pitching a fit" when a child has a temper tantrum Calling a seizure a "fit" sounds sort of Medieval!
@@happydays1336 yeah, i think that’s where the term came from. because when kids throw a tantrum they thrash around, and when you have a seizure you thrash around. i don’t know which came first, a kind of the chicken or the egg type deal
I've never had a panic attack, but I used to suffer with severe anxiety and I wouldn't wish those kinds of disorders on anyone. It's awful.
Panic attacks are horrible! Its like a loss of control and your body runs away with it.
@@ScarletBrimstone I can't imagine coupling the mental terror with the physical.
I remembered when i was in high school, i dont know if it was a panic attack since i wasnt yet diagnosed at that time but during a class i experienced almost the same as the girl experienced which is really scary, i even thought im having a heart attack after that because of the aftermaths
@@Micemich that sounds very scary.
@@kimberlysevastyanenko3798 I have them your mind just runs and runs .Hate it .US Your scared and have no idea of what I do anyway .✌️🙏🤍
Poor John :( RIP
I feel for Jennifer.. you know you need help, but you also worry about how things would go o-o
Oh my. Took care of my dad for the last month of his life. He died at home 20 days before this video was posted. It's gutting to see how dementia coupled with other conditions affects elderly people.
Am i the only one to have their faith in humanity restored by watching this ?
John said he saw visitors that “aren’t there”....so many accounts of people seeing loved ones or others right before they transition.
7:10 our amazing NHS paramedics are the shining light of our society. They’re amazing :)
For the old man, they say when you are close to death you’ll see your deceased relatives.
Yeah, I did an internship at a residence for those with disabilities and mental health and a week before one of their resident passed away, he kept coming to see me because he wanted me to read his brother and father's obituary. Passed away from a heart attack the day I was not there. He probably knew it was coming.
Yes your family spirits come to get you
If I'm not careful I'll end up like John. On another note, a week before my mom passed in the hospice, she saw Padre Pio
Luka will be one amazing EMT. His heart truly cares about the people and their wellbeing.
What age do you call older patients
Johns family was waiting on the other side he wasn’t hallucinating 💕
I really want to believe that. It would be a happy ending instead of what we see it as now.
Rest easy John, you did great.
My blessings too, I'm so happy for him he's with our Lord 🙏❤️
Finally! I’ve been waiting for a new episode !!! Not many good shows like this one
Download the tubie app. It has all the seasons of this show and the full seasons of all the other real responders shows, including life and death in a&e which has all 15 seasons. Plus they are all free and have less ads.
Agree
I watch it on youtube. It is awesome
@@tamaraj4200 thank you so much! I will definitely try it!
The girl having a panic attack is like the only one who can cry and still look gorgeous!
That blue light for the baby also calmed me down 😌 maybe my bedroom should have some.
I used to have seizures as a small child, too. I was sick so often and always had a seizure and fever above 40 degrees. I spent a good amount of my early childhood in hospital with it and even once on christmas when I was 2 I got discharged and had to go in again in the evening. The doctors said I would grow out of it by the time my brain is matured which happens by the time the child enters school usually. And it came exactly as they said. They took out my tonsils, though, too, because I had tonsilitis every 2 weeks during bad times which caused the high fever that caused me to have those seizures.
I hope the same happens for that little guy.
These people are sooooooo sweet and kind. I'm from the states. These guys make me want to be an emt in the UK 🇬🇧!
I was an EMT Intermediate here in the states in the 1980s, and I can tell you that the level of training far surpasses that of the USA.
I love when the paramedics drive a patient home ❤❤❤❤
Deepest condolences to John's family and friends
Such good care the ambulance gives the patients.
I hate when they say, “don’t worry” or “calm down” when your having an anxiety attack. Like, duh, if I could do that then I wouldn’t be having the attack in the first place.
I am with you. Like when they told the dialissis patient “try not to panic” !!
RIP John 💔🙏
RIP John. Hope you´re in a better place now!
Glaring daylight is the last thing I want when I'm having a panic attack. Quiet darkness for me. I know everyone is different. Hope she feels better soon.
I typically only get panic attacks, when it's dark... So it really is different for everyone... What isn't different though, is how horrible those panic attacks feel 😬 hope yours get better soon! 😊
As expensive as ambulances are here in the USA you'd think they could give time like they do in the UK. I love how the UK ambulance workers really take time with the patients to try and deescalate the situation so maybe they don't actually need the hospital.
Oh my heart 🥺🥺 John sending so much love for you sweetpea ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Breaks my heart too, but he's happy and healthy in heaven
RIP John!
Oh that poor girl with the panic attack. I hope she finds out the cause.
I am 63 and have panic attacks since I was around 6 -- the cause is not the issue - it is how to manage them - I am much better but had them so severely I was hospitalized and they are absolutely terrifying - I have phobias now directly related to panic attacks - I am not afraid of my phobia I am afraid of having a panic attack relating to my phobia - it is a very difficult part of my life
Lauren:. There are so many breathwork channels on TH-cam. It would be so great if people with panic attacks or asthma, etc., could know about what breathing correctly can do for them. Good health to all.
Those channels are sometimes to avoid though ^^ When I had panic attacks, (average of 8 per day, lasting 45 min each) they would only get worse if watching those kind of stuff, since I just couldn't focus on them and was panicking even more from the frustration of not being able to hear what they were saying. It's like getting ''tunnel vision'', except it's not just vision, all your sense ''tunnel''. What helped me was to blacken sheets of paper one line at a time with a pencil ^^
This is surprisingly inaccurate. Panic attacks do not often have triggers, what the narrator is describing is an anxiety attack. Anxiety attacks usually have an easily recognizable cause and effect.
Panic attacks don't always have triggers and just suddenly happen to you any time, anywhere. Its a panic disorder.
Just speaking from my own experience, with my anxiety disorder, my panic attacks always have a trigger.
@@christinekaye6393 yes, that's for an anxiety disorder. Panic disorders are different.
Rest IN Peace John.
I'm from the United States i just want to say to the West Midlands Ambulance Service may God bless you all be safe 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸👍👍
I'm from the US too....Columbus, Ohio to be exact! It's always fun listening to the diff word's they use than us or our paramedics would. Heck, even the word "Paramedic!" Or "fitting" for a seizure, G.P for their main Dr. which would be our PCP, primary care physician. I love listening to them, but I love accents!!🤷🏼♀️😊
@@chantelboyd1853 that's awesome you be safe out there
@@joshuabulger3156 thanks, u too!!
RIP John. I hope his next life is a restful and pleasant one.
So sad to see that gentleman John had passed. Rest In Peace.
How cool that they stopped for a spot of tea!
Rest In Peace John
Am adicted watching these
John had completely different issues to my grandma, but his decline was so similar to my grandma that I kind of knew he wasn't going to make it. makes the ending hurt more.
Poor John.....he was a sweet old man he was! (My father & son's name is John & Jonathan) He seemed a little mischievous too! Winking @ the 1st Paramedic....😂😍 So cute! My goodness there wasn't much to him @ all but he seemed in good spirits! I think his loved one's who've passed on were coming to see him, I don't think it's hallucinations but, what'd I know?!?! Haha.....his wife looked so good for her age & their daughter looked just like her!! I hope John is resting easy....🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤
A lot of times people have this anxiety are stress also both due to a previous trauma which causes certain triggers that they can put them back into a stressful mindset and not dealing with things very well but if there’s certain things that helps prevent a reverse that anxiety/stress dinner will stop it from becoming worse because mental health is room for him he can affect your physical health if you let it can get very strenuous on the body.
RIP John 🙏🤍😇😪
The part about the panic attack nearly triggered a panic attack for me x' D I was not expecting that x''''' D
Rest in peace John :(
I have anxiety disorder and have been to the emergency room twice being unable to get it under control after more than an hour. It is a miserable condition and it bothers me that the EMT is making light of it.
Agree, but doctors, EMTs, nurses, etc always mock mental health issues when emergency services are needed. That's part of the stigma.
If you’ve never had one, you really cannot imagine how dreadful they are. I was a bit put off by her reaction as well, but she will learn from experience 💜
They were taking it seriously doing the best to get the patient to control breathing so she doesn't pass out or something like that. Coaching through breathing to get the body's oxygen back up is the number 1 priority
wow such a good technique he used, i learned something immediately. ty for being educated.
I'm so glad to see a new episode, they don't post them often enough, but it's so sad about John!
Happy New Year to everyone from NYC!! 🤗🎉🎊🥂🎆🎇💖💮🌹🌼💐💚🌷💙🌻💜🏵️💝
Thank you for your service and community too and I love watching your videos
Those ambulances would make good campers
Huge thanks for this video! Panic attacks are terrible but we can learn to fight them! Keep it up!
I have panic attacks its horrible
Rest in peace, John.
RIP John cute grandpa ❤
RIP John
What a sweet little boy
Another thing which helps me during a panic attak is an ice cube. It startles you and takes your focus off of the panic.
yes that does work or an ice pack - I have had them my entire life - I am 63 and have had them since I was a very little girl - it is not an easy life...but I am much better as I get older
we are lucky to have paramedics in the world today
My ex and I lost three kids unfortunately every time I hear about people potentially having kids just makes my heart break
Watching from Kenya .........
🙋♀️🇨🇦
@@AuskaDezjArdamaath same!
Tuko wengi!!!!!

In my opinion, sadly, nowdays people assume the oposite: if a child has a convulsion, is because of fever. Not always is the case and doctors and parents need to be prudent. My son was 22months old, had a big convulsion and doctors said was because of fever. The truth is that a few months later he began with convulsions again and was diagnosed with eppilepsy. The most safe thing to do is to confirm the cause of the convulsion, by doing an EEG.
My son is having an eeg done next week to check for seizure activity. He had an cardiac echo done yesterday. He's had a lot of tests done so far and hes only 18 months
Poor Lauren. Panic attacks are awful.
R.I.P John =(
Blue light would likely calm an adult as well...
My former boss triggered a panic attack in me... Didn't call anyone... Had to calm myself down... Trembling fo rhours... Not fun!
I love this show
8:52
this girl struck such a cord with me, especially after saying that she hadn't told her doctor. the paramedics did a great job getting her breathing down and that's their job in the end, to take care of the patient physically, but i really hope she can find emotional help as well. i hate how stigmatized mental health is and how there are such large online communities of mentally ill people who end up just being encouraged to not say anything and deal with it on their own. i really wish the best for her.
From being in the hospital and ambulances so much I find the medical sounds very familiar
The British version of this is so much better.
The United States version has to include cops and seems like they handle a lot more shooting which they do.
Also the way they do the voice over just makes you feel at ease with the British version, the USA version makes you feel like you need to call am ambulance just in case.
I had a febrile seizure at age 13, had Dr stumped as my temperature was 102 Fahrenheit which isn’t that bad of a fever, but all tests were normal
I would give anything to have kids just never worked out that way so far
OK I am with D. Freeman the short tribute is not something you see on American shows and I like it very much.
and your/their ambulance! I love the ramp! no lifting. We have nothing like that in my area but I know not if the US uses them or not. NICE.
The lady with the panic disorder is stunning.
Anxiety attacks are awful .I have them all I want to do is hide .And I take meds for them .The women ambulance driver upset me a little like oh there no big deal .Well if you ever have one and have no idea what is going on you will find out how bad they feel .✌️🙏🤍🌻
I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that John recognized that he’s got Lewy Body Dementia.
So why didn't Jennifer's son just take her to the hospital as soon as the doctor called, instead of calling an ambulance? Ambulances are incredibly expensive...
Its in the UK so it isn't like the US where a hospital visit will put you in debt
Love Hello Kitty
Ambulance service and the rest of medical treatment in the UK is totally free for citizens of the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) . Tourist and non citizens are billed. Now, because of an almost continuous shortage of hospital beds, they have a bad habit of not admitting/prematurely discharging patients. Look at the little baby with seizures... Sent home from the hospital earlier, and parents had to call 999 a few hours later. And there's many examples of that in this series
Poor old John. Good lad, had a full life. I always get sad to see them go, these are the kinds of people I associated with at my local when I was there with the Forces in the mid-80s (shout out to The Butchers in Exning, if you're still there!), and of course reminds me of my own mortality. These are the folks who went through WW2 as little kids, their mindset and life outlook are unique. They keep that stiff upper lip and soldier on, regardless of how bad they feel. Compare that to the newer generation of entitled, pampered, overly sensitive, easily triggered, tantrum-throwing Karens and Darrens, and it goes a long way to explaining the decline of British society.
how was a toddler sent home after he had a fever of 41?
why You don't make calf wraps against high temperature?
lol *your shoes alright then?*
how ironic that he is a emt and hit his head as hes getting into the ambulance.
I used to wonder why older people fall so easily. I’m now 59 and my balance isn’t what it used to be. I’ve ridden show jumpers since I was a child and I had excellent balance till lately. Getting old sucks.
Then the older you get you discover how fevers make you feel incredibly crappy. I got a fever, it got so high I poured orange juice over ice cubes, I walked away and shook the ice cubes right out of the glass. I had Covid once, I don’t want it again, thanks..not a super high fever, but it was pretty ugly.
One thing to help with rising temps in anyone young or old: is to wipe down with and damp clothe of vinegar or rubbing alcohol. Everyone needs to keep a gallon of vinegar on hand for this purpose.
Also, wipe down with a cool wet watered down wash clothe. Place a few ice cubes in a bowl of tab water and keep wiping the person down. This will help prevent seizures. Get person to ER and give Tylenol to help decease temp.
What is the purpose of the vinegar or rubbing alcohol? Is it just to cool down? If so, couldn't you use water instead?
It helps do to rapid evaporation. Water does to, but it evaporates slower.
Temperature is not always the cause of seizures, seizures are typically an electrical misfire in the brain. In Piedatric patients, temperatures can do it, and tylenol, as well as a cloth with cold water will help. Theres medications that can be adminstered to help.
My son used to get very high temperatures when he was little. We gave him Tylenol and Ibuprofen to get it down faster and keep it down
My mother used to give me alcohol rubs when I was little (in the late 1950s and early 1960s). It's not recommended now because putting rubbing alcohol all over a child's body can be toxic.
Rickie is just right cute. I'd take him home and get him all cleaned up.
The toddler is having febrile seizures. There quite common in young kids with high fevers.
The fact that a lot of dying people see people who aren't there... makes you wonder. I am a logical person, but even they try to rationalize it. They're mostly aware they're not real. Maybe death won't be the end of it after all.
Poor Jennifer holding her stuff by herself,her son isn't helping really triggers me.
Awesome for John, he's with our Lord 🙏❤️
awesome for John? he died - what is awesome about that?
Is the music at 10:18 Cosmo Sheldrake? 😂
I wonder, if there some new episodes, while Corona?
Oh hell no, If I was having a panick attack and someone asked me to read something out loud or explain something "as a distraction" I would go backwards a hundred steps. That is a TERRIBLE way, at least for anyone who is shy, struggle with dyslexia/reading difficulties, anxiety, or like me - autism. I really hope he learns a different way to distract a patient who struggle to regulate their breathing due to anxiety because that is a recipie for disaster on the wrong person imo. I have seen one method on this show that i liked before and that was the man who asked for a rectangular box (like one for gloves or tissues) and he would follow the edge with his finger and breathe in on one long side, hold it on the short side, breathe out on the 2nd long side and hold on the 2nd short side x repeat. My psyc also gave me a good option where you get a nearby book, and not read it - but focus on completing the alphabet. so first you find an A on the page, then a B, then a C, etc. Basically anything that takes focus but is not high pressure.
The point is to get her into a normal breathing rhythm, and it is a good idea actually. Because it takes the mind off the situation and gives a menial task that requires focus, and takes the mind off the issue at hand.
@@MichaelJTritter44 I think what they want to say is, that this isn't necessarily the best option for everyone who has panic attacks and that there are other ways, that are better for a larger group of people with panic attacks.
The options they recommended are actually pretty interesting and I will for sure try them out, if I have another attack myself. :)
I had a seizure at age three from a high fever
Panic attacks SUUUUUCK.
