I can not believe that I am one of the ambulance crew on the first case. Thank you for uploading this, I have been searching for it!
Wow how exciting! You guys do amazing work
How on earth did they save his arm tho? Like, dang thats incredible!
@@CryptoTalksShorts that is what I was hoping to read after seeing that!
6:24, I really appreciate that you guys DONT censor this. I know that its hard for some people to see, but it is valuable footage to show.. especially when the person viewing is in a paramedic, hospital, military or police field. I get really frustrated when they sensor blood. Its a valuable thing to see to learn from when faced with similar situations. If you have a hard time stomaching it, I am sorry, but to the people who CAN stomach it and often have to, and could benefit from seeing it because its part of their field, its more valuable than you can realize.
I think a lot of blood is censored on YT because it can get the video taken down, at least for newer videos. This is an older video before the censoring wave on YT that recently happened. If this was made recently then it would 100% be censored.
I love the cohesiveness of each team and their concern not just for the patient but also the family/friends and the heartfelt rxpressions on Andy's face in several episodes shows this is his calling...kudos to the air ambulance crew!!!
Such compassionate paramedics. They walk mom up to her son to see him and reassure her they will take care of him. So sweet!
The doctors and paramedics are so amazing there. I love how they even hold sheets up for privacy. It's night and day when you compare that to the US standard of care. No doctors on med flights, no instant pain relief... 😢
Just an instant gigantic bill.
Omg that chunk of muscle on the side of the road, was the same size of a small roast!!
You guys really are saints......bless you!!!!
I thought it looked like a filet mignon
Thanks I don't think I'll be eating roast any time soon!
Imagine what would have been if it wouldn´t be for that hi-grade protective gear...
I´m gonna say spaghetti/tomato-sauce.
No I thought a small roast too.
Such empathy and compassion! Human beings, doing what they do best!!
I love this show sooo much, and i love every single person!!
These doctors and paramedics are top notch and are so well rounded!!!
Andy is awesome. Dion is too.
This episode was epic. Especially the young guy trapped with the 2 broken legs & suspected broken pelvis, as he was being pulled from the vehicle all that tension of what would happen once he was free had me not breathing. Plus goosebumps & spine tingling, it was nerve-wracking. Brilliant.
24:25 As someone who has a family member with epilepsy, I must recommend that anyone who encounters an incident of epilepsy should start recording it immediately for the medical team. There is a huge variety of seizure types and seeing as much of the process as possible gives them a better understanding of what is going on in the brain.
If you see someone recording, ask them why they are recording and if they immediately say that they are doing it for the medical team, let them roll and only if it is for gawking, intervene.
Disclaimer: Under no circumstances should you publish the footage on the internet!
I'm French and it's quite surprise to see differences. Medical team don't really hide their concern or use worry word like "amputate" in front or a patient. French seems less extrovert and friendly with strangers (it's cultural) but they'll also never let you worry because of what they say or show on their face like here. It's strange to see them act so freely in both way. French will seems like they don't care about what's going on sometime, and have fun to reassured you too (sometime with French dark humour 😅) , then they will communicate their real concern in a way the patient don't understand, cause they don't want to stress the patient by how they act around him. I suppose it's about our culture too in a way, but that's so weird to observe that in medical field for me, cause stress is a real medical issue too.
Nice to see an austrian HEMS doctor
Yeeeah, an austrian doctor!! I'm soo proud to be austrian!
I can’t say enough about these paramedics and doctors. They are so professional and kind. They actually care. We don’t have this in America.😪
Yes, you do.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent footage of these life and death calls. To watch these doctors and medics assist, calm and treat he patients is a privilege and quite honestly, an adrenaline rush! I can’t imagine how they feel when they know the clock is ticking! So very thankful for all who are there for the victims and families as well as all those involved to make these videos happen! God Bless you ALL!
Motorcyclists quite often manage to sustain some impressive injuries.
We got called one drizzly night to a single vehicle crash involving a high powered motorcycle. This guy in his 50s came around a bend on the freeway, slid in the wet and slammed into the Armco railing.
We got on scene just as a Highway Patrol cop arrived to close off the inside lane (the rider ended up lying against the rails in the nature strip). My partner was an ex cop who'd been a trainee paramedic for about 18 months.
Our patient was alert with minimal pain.
At one point I said to my partner, you support the left popliteal (his left leg was bent at the knee in a normal manner). My partner looks at me weirdly and whispers "something's not right". The HP cop is giving some lighting with his torch. As I cut off the biker's trousers, the torch light shines on this titanium rod where a femur should be. It had protruded out, and pushed the patella to one side. Turns out the biker had a similar crash years ago, shattered his femur and had a titanium rod inserted.
Well, the cop nearly dropped the torch in disbelief. We finally loaded the biker into the ambulance with his busted leg still bent (the rod pushing on the knee cap locked it in such a way we couldn't straighten his leg).
Seeing life threatening injuries is an every day occurrence. Seeing this was quite a surprise!
When we got to hospital, I had the rod covered up. Doctors got a shock when after they asked what injuries, I pulled back the dressing and said "Ta da!".
I saw our biker mate about a year later in traffic, and we waved at each other. He had a new bike, a bigger and faster bike.
Don Coleman that’s so lovely to hear😭❤️
First responder with the NSW RFS. Not that many fires so far this year but plenty of RTCs. Fortunately our drink driving laws are severe and that has made a tangible difference to it causing accidents. The biggest cause now is inattention and the biggest cause of that is mobile phone use whilst driving. Basically if you want to answer the phone you have to pull over, park, turn your engine off then take of make the call.
The big distances in my country outside the big city areas on the coast means that the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the NSW Air Ambulance are kept very busy. Both organisations have aircraft, infrastructure and maintenance provided by the government, but the other ongoing operational costs rely on public donations. Its largely the same as we see here in the UK. There is a system where we do staff placement to the UK and get some of theirs here on rotation. Its a great cross skilling system. A month ago we had the head of trauma from one big UK hospital spend a month here. Before he went back there was an AV hookup and he told us what he had learned here and what he was also taking back home. Whenn we got our guy back he did the same. It was really interesting stuff. You never stop learning in this job.
The Air Ambulance here has additional corporate sponsorships and the country's largest banks and mining companies underwrite the operational costs. So basically we get whatever we need. Money is no object so we concentrate on the care, not who pays for it.
I love Andy so much omg.
The guy who fell down the hill....ugh mate. They are trying to help you.
Well hard, innit? What a dickhead.
Proper faker ……..chavy dickhead wasting EMS time.....should bill him for wasting time
I understand your point, but this man endured serious injuries and was definitely not in his right mind.
@@Cantabile I understand your point, but this comment was made a year ago
You's are amazing and wonderful thank you's
The small act of going to mom and talking to her, bringing her to her son and then taking her hand to walk with her and making sure she understands he is going to be ok ....they are angels but instead of wings they have the chopper
Wow, i didn't expect this to actually be this graphic.
As a (fixed wing) pilot, this is very interesting to see though
Just about the moment that I think that a motorcycle is a good idea I stumble into a binge session of shows like this. It seems like each one has some mangled motorcycle rider. Then I am cured. No more thoughts of motorcycle thoughts for me!
Don't do it. Motorcycles ruined the lives of two of my friends. One shattered everything below the knee and has constant pain. The other was catapulted 40 yards from 65mph onto his head and has a TBI that only allows him about 30% function of his left side. They both spend most of their day in a wheelchair.
@@missd369 I think that was my point! Just so you know, I drive a Subaru Crosstrek. Close to, but not quite the opposite of a motorcycle.
I love this show! What a bunch of amazing heros!
That vintage book is so neat!
The Anglia One crew were just excellent in their communication when treating Flora in the ambulance! And he's a right MacGyver thinking of using her ear lobe!
In 1986 I fell on an obstacle course at Fort Hood. I landed badly, pretty much blew the cervical vertebra flat. I have four bulging discs in my neck. I compression fractured T4-5, right hip injured. My L5-S1 has no disc, L4-5 is degenerating. Both arms have moderate to severe nerve compression. C6-7 are stenosis, the spinal cord channel is closing on the cord. Nerve compression is getting worse to all extremities, I can only call it burning numbness.
I got back up and moved to the next obstacle. Real tough guy. M1 Abrams crewman.
Now 33 years later, I lost my career, my wife and a house. I have to have help with food, laundry, housekeeping and transportation. The pain is constant.
If someone tells you to lay still and ride in the nice chopper? Lay still, shut your mouth and ride in the nice helicopter. You'll never understand what can happen. But I never thought it would be this.
"My neck doesn't hurt"
"I know it doesn't, but it's connected to your back"
I love the sass coming from that Doctor XD If I were a Paramedic, I reckon I'd wanna strangle patients that give you a smart arse attitude
He was experiencing fear which often creates denial, if you listen carefully they do explain this in a simplistic way. He also goes from saying "My neck doesn't hurt" to " Am i going to walk" He's traumatized that's also shock that's what there referring to. Sure he could have remained still but he was frantic and when your minds that scared and racing that fast it can be really hard to not fall into a clouded mindset that keeps you from listening. Also, playing devils advocate for a second they should have had his neck in a brace or someone he trusted to keep him calm and not moving in anyway possible. The camera man then zooms into his eyes there trying to give the viewers a understanding of the fear he is experiencing and get you to empathize with the situation. They want you to understand his perspective inside that moment, to try and comprehend being inside that moment when you think you may lose your ability to walk and also have to process everything that's just happened. The obsession over his outfit seemingly ridiculous was actually him trying to distract himself from reality again relates to the moment of denial and fear before processing the possibility's. I know your intention behind this is just seeing the humor within that comment, but also i think drs need a lot more training in regards to how to handle different unlikely or not as common responses to trauma. But i'm no dr, i'm just observant, and hopefully it did some good.
1:56 look at that hustle 🤩❤ you rock!!
What a sweet mom Lisa is.
Oh horrors. I wanted to puke when they showed his arm. Poor guy. I can't even imagine the pain. I think this was the most graphic of all the episodes I have seen.
Big trauma like that causes the brain to switch off the pain otherwise the patient would have a heart attack with the shock. That doesn't last long though thats why pain relief is given straight away. In the Battle for the Arnhem Bridges in WW2, a British officer had his bottom jaw blown clean off. He picked it up and presented it to the dressing station doctor calm as could be. He then died. He won a VC.
@@TechnikMeister2
It doesn't cause the brain to switch off. The adrenaline your body produces blankets the pain, but it wears off over time (that's why some people are in most pain 20-30 mins after the incident). It's also why doctors and paramedics administer adrenaline in some incidents.
Holy crap. I can personally relate to the guy who fell down the hill from his bike. During this whole thing, I knew they would tell us the outcomes. I was hoping my hardest that he would be walking. I had the same thing happen to me but just a little bit different. When I was in the U.S. Army I was involved in an accident while inside an APC. The doctors called it an explosive compression injury to my lower back. But him lying there with no feeling in his legs brought back all the memories for me. I had no feeling in my legs for 3 days. When the feeling started returning it hurt so bad. It was like the pins and needles of a limb coming back to life after it has fallen to sleep for a while; but 50 times more painful.
I just hope this guy doesn't have any permanent injury to his back like I do. I was 23 when I was injured; now I'm 56. I was just like him after I recovered; walking pretty much just fine. As the years passed the pain in my lower back has gotten worse and worse. I hope this doesn't happen to this guy.
Holy shit that wound is ... something
“I’m pretty sure your lower intestines shouldn’t be in your femurs!”🤣😂
I am from across the pond and I wish that they would show the series here in the states. The only channel we have is BBC America. 😔
Awww look at the mom. I want to give her a hug
These people are angels
4:06 massive crack in the road 😂
AMAZING PEOPLE. DO AMAZING CARING WORK. FANTASTIC CARING AND PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE
I think it would have been more terrifying for that motorcyclist to think that he might lose his arm.
I am continually amazed at how gently they set these huge air craft down
Dude, if you're in a wheelchair for the rest of your life it will be your fault. I don't think people are going to be looking at your outfit either.
I understand your point, but this man endured serious injuries and was definitely not in his right mind.
I didn't expect someone to speak German. I was kinda confused at first 😂😂
Same here 🤣
Happy Juice
13:38 There is something not right about this guy! A patient in that situation I would expect to be scared, in pain and showing signs of shock. I’ve never seen anyone worried about their pants over paralysis!
jeder zeit bereit... yeeeaaaa an Austrian doctor :-) 1:50 :-)
th-cam.com/video/mapyJ1cin8U/w-d-xo.html
Could be also be a German one ;)
DiaLoge Stevens no he speaks my German slang and that’s Austrian... Lower Austria or Vienna !
@@christian-jakobgrasl Na dann hab ich nichts gesagt :D
LG
DiaLoge Stevens hahaha kein Thema :-) er spricht meinen Dialekt, so Wiener Gegend oder südliches Niederösterreich :-)
Things you don't want to hear your doctor say: #1 "what the hell is that." #2 "arrrg yeash! Oohhh..." 36:12
It makes you think through, because you didn't want to walk or because we've built a world where that's impossible, you may never walk again. We've killed 34 people since Twenty is Plenty was established.
"I cannot just sit on the roof rack" 😂.
Yep, that would work 🤣.
Magnesium needs a prescription? The vitamin? No prescription needed in the US. I take it everyday.
great how Pam lets Rod intubate
Narrated by Jorah Mormont.
Flora's (step)father said she was faking the seizures. I'm glad they caught that & aired it to show what an ass he truly is!
W a brain bleed, isn't that something that can be stopped? I have epilepsy cuz of scar tissue that can never be removed. Or did she have the brain bleed from falling maybe?
But that comment! He doesn't care about that girl! 😿😾
4:06 butt
Can anyone settle a confusing question for me please why is there firemen there to receive the patient? And are they just at the hosp all the time just in case? Or do they have to come from the local fire station... I live right next to Coventry University hospital and there's never any firemen Waiting for the air crew and I've never seen them turn up or already there to transport the patient indoors X x
that guy who fell down the hill is a injured twit, can't figure out that their to help him!
I think he was just scared and panicking
if you dont know anything about emergency medicin, please just shut up. Its normal that patients react very strange most of the times, when they are in such a shock level.
Wasting the medical staffs time because he doesn't want to cooperate and wants his buddy to ride with him. How old is he 3.
I think it was his bf not buddy 😊
People react in different ways when they get scared. I could imagine he knew undeniably knew how much trouble he was in physically and wanted comfort from someone he knew. Big burly young guys and little old ladies are the ones who can kick up a fuss or are placid as. You can never tell.
"Dont move your neck around" worked well
6:48 looked like he passed out, out of pain
4:49 jesus fuck that‘s a „rough grained“ (I hope I translated it correctly) road... Roads here in Germany have alot smoother surface.
No wonders he lost a chunk of his muscles
I'd say Anthony's a tosser, but I can understand why he's upset. I'd be freaking out if I was potentially paralyzed, too.
RhiaBlack he needs his ass whooped one good time and he’d shut his trap
The paramedic shouldn’t have promised the mom that her son would ok! He doesn’t know that!
Think we'll leave it up to his experience and expertise, you twat.
Call me P***Y or whatever!!
I ride motorcycles and like them so much!!! 🏆 But I em a Father and I love my wife and 2 Kids❤️ my Tops speed's on motorcycle is 35mph. And still risky.
Why transfer the patient to the er by ambulance instead of the helicopter??
You cant pull a helicopter over to the side of the road if the patient starts to crash out........if the distance is short and the injury isnt one that can be worsened by bumps etc, ambulance is safer if the patient is very unstable.
@@heatherrowles2580 lol why would an ambulance need to pull over if a patient starts to crash out?
Your comment makes no sense the ambulance sole purpose is to act like an er on wheels, and to transport patients to the real er in a timely manner hence the lights and sirens,
The helicopter was already at the accident scene
www.ambulancedepot.com/about-us/
Because in Ambulance there's more hands available to intubate and administer the medications, CPR and more space. If hospital isn't too far they prefer taking patient by road rather than by air. They have explained it in different episodes.
Nur bekommt man in Österreich nicht so viel an Geld.
I love the car crash calls soooooo much that I wanna crash my own car right fucking now
but head
First!! Do I get a prize? No? Oh well I'll let this comment melt in with everybody elses.
1 doctor 1 CCP , loads of Paramedics und nobody thinks about keeping the pt. warm? Whats about coagulation when body temp is decreasing?
