I agree... Get the qualification and THEN help the respective patients... That 15 year old will need to start seeing someone as PTSD is a very real issue!
Very true. My thoughts exactly. It could manifest in some paradoxical way later on in his life. The adrenalin rush can only suppress negative images up to a point, then a mature mind is required.
Afriforum neighborhood watch kids, a bunch of clowns. Illegal stopping of vehicles, search and "arrests" while also using the "white strobe lights" that is actually only designated to be used by registered PSIRA businesses and PSIRA Level C Armed response with a valid certificate.
Maybe the kid… the mother (and others like her) are probably too set in their ways. Sitting for studies has no adrenaline. They would not last in class. Unfortunately.
@@IanMulwitsky they obviously enjoy what they do immensely and they have been doing it for much longer than the green eared young ones. It’s easier to change someone who still is learning the ropes than for you to try the same on an “expert”.
@@BatsiraiMusukaWhy? You use obviously quite a bit. If given a chance to show the correct way, especially if funding is provided, I'm certain many will take the opportunity. They are doing it for free already, might as well teach the safe way and then it is something worthwhile to add to the CV as well.
Why did you not Include a traffic officer for information on unauthorised lamps... And the definitions of emergency vehicles as per the National Road traffic act/act 93/1996.
First responders can and do have their value, provided they are adequately trained via a set standard like here in the Cape, work with and via EMS channels feeding the correct info to control rooms for required resources etc. There are a lot of concerns in this particular situation with 9 different groups, fighting over patients and filming of patients and and and. First Aid should be taught at school to every child, my daughter was 13 when she saved her hockey coach, she witnessed him collapse and ran over pushed everyone out of the way and started cpr and brought him back before ems arrived. So the age issue is not an issue. EMS is not for everyone, its a calling
Im a level 2 first aid and there is a lot you can and can't do. If you're part of a community policing group you can have green lights fitted and very important that you have your documentation with you.
This country has too many people doing jobs that they are not qualified for. And we still have BEE . Really if we all work together life hopefully will be a lot better for everyone .
If you want to be a first responder go for the proper qualification and go work in that industry it will help way more in so much ways than self proclaimed professionals
If the passion is already there, why not close the loop with training, at least with Basic Ambulance assistant to start with. I'll even help/guide/mentor/sponsor such a dedicated person. I started as a volunteer and, with help of many selfless EMS personnel, I made all the way to Advanced Life Support Paramedic. We fully endorse regulations and proper accreditation, but let us not get draconian and throw the baby out with the bath water.
Maybe the question should be "Why are civilians having to do this in the first place? Where are the government services we pay for with taxes??" Rather start at the root of the problem. It is actually ridiculous..
As an ex-Law Enforcement Officer I completely agree with the experts, only registered Emergency Vehicles are allowed to display Red, Blue and other colored flashing lights and sirens, these "first responders" are indeed breaking more than one law and should be prosecuted. They endanger other road users lives with their reckless driven, also note that "Armed Response" and private Security vehicles are NOT Emergency Vehicles and Have to obey the Traffic Laws like any other Citizen.
Me too. What are your thoughts on Fire Departments now also sporting blue lights? The Road Traffic Act specifically governs what they MAY use, but if they're setting an example - official services - why should others bother to comply, right?

These people drive like so dangerously I almost got hit by one of them at a robot and they where easily doing 100 plus into on coming traffic at the light
They are keen and needed out there. Train them, get them qualified, and let them do what they like and enjoy. Obviously lay the rules and the law out and clear to them about filming at the accident scenes, and the 15-year-old. But to me channel their positive energy towards the right direction.

You wouldn’t board a plane if you knew the pilot was unqualified, so why some people trying to justify UNTRAINED and unqualified first responders is beyond me.
I did the same training for the office but i barely used it as we now work from home but even when we don neighbourhood watch i wont attempt it we jst call ambulance
Arrest them all! If they want the training its available. For them its ego, likes and social media before going through the effort of doing the training. Shocking shocking shocking 🇿🇦
If you watch it again and listen to what Stan said, someone being there to stop the bleed or to initiate cpr could very much save a life. The basics saves lives every day. However responders providing invasive therapy is questionable, if they were running around claiming to be medics they could be charged criminally under the health act, but nowhere did I hear any of them make that claim though. First aiders require consent, whether expressed or implied, patient has right to refuse treatment. The flipside of the coin is that if the first aider is trained and proficient in the skill of putting up iv's and has the patients permission to do so, there is nothing one can do as they have the patients permission
A basic ambulance assistant is a level 5 and is the first qualification to register with the hpcsa and that is a supervised qualification , first aid certificate expire after 3 years where you must do a refresher you are not allowed to treat a pt with even oxygen, a BAA can't even declare a pt dead how can a first aider ,they are not first responders, they are first aider
You can no longer do refreshers, it has changed, have to do the course over. Then a BAA can declare a pt dead, they just cant fill out the declaration. Think about it, the head is here and the body is there...pt is dead clearly, as a BAA you can choose to inititate a resus or not based on whether there are any signs of life, but if arriving on scene and cpr has been initiated they have to continue according to the protocol.
You can not do baa anymore, it's now 1year,2 years ECT ,3 years DIP or 4 years ECP O AND MASTERS . COURSE FOR BAA ,AEA ,CCA WAS STOP SO YOU CAN NOT DO BAA FROM FRESH

Information poorly collected.
What about the POPI act? How can this be allowed to post Scenes on Social Media?
Here in the townships they rob the paramedics
Unbelievable. Dashing around filming for social media. That is absolutely disgusting. More low than the ANC with all their corruption.

Green lights is only to be used by Disaster Risk Management CPF can only use a white solid beam that does not flash according to the road traffic act
But level 2 first aid is nothing in terms of patient treatment. There is basically no scope

Molly catching strays😂😂
Wow listening to this is so so scary. How are these people able to assist people who are suffering. I want an efficient person helping me 😮
Paramedics or Ambulance Drivers... Who has Ambulance drivers ? Everyone has a registered Qualification working on Ambulances
Netcare has Ambulance drivers, ie lowest qualified person on the bus, highest qualification treating patient
why unless you just want some sort of legal way to commit murder?
Please upload the Andre interview.
Why the delay or are you captured by the ANC
We also have some rogue responders in Namibia it's a serious matter.
