26:00 This is what killed my mother. She was a hypochondriac, always complaining about different symptoms. When she started telling her doctor about agonizing abdominal cramps, nausea, and bloating, he recommended counselling. Two years later, when they finally diagnosed cancer, it was too late. It had already spread to her liver, pancreas, and stomach. Chemotherapy made her so frail that she died.
I've been told by other doctors subsequently that they're taught an aphorism in med school for exactly that situation: "Hypochondriacs get heart attacks too." It's meant to remind them that even if they're 99% sure someone is faking or imagining symptoms, they have to treat it like it's real every time. Just in case. Because eventually it will be.
I’m sorry
I’m so sorry for your loss, I think my grandma also suffered from something like that.
So sorry to read that about your mom...
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mother.❤
I have experienced loss myself, I lost my dad three years ago. It hurts so bad, especially when you knew then well, he was only 37.. he died of a slightly rare kind of cancer, stage 4. I cried for weeks and weeks, and you need to know, almost everyone here lost someone, whether young, or old.. the point is, it will be ok. You are not alone. So stay strong, and live your best life, because it's not going to get any easier. 🙃
"Have you got any pain anywhere?"
"In my ass..."
both: "In your what??"
"In my heart"
".......Oh...haha..."
"Have you got any pain anywhere Janet?"
"In my arse"
I'm dead xD
I hurd arms lol
I love how nice and gentle this is compared to similar shows in the US. Ours are like freaking action films and this is so calm and nice
Yeah, I feel like if someone had anxiety about medical care, watching this show would help and give them confidence in the system and professionalism.
Omg I thought the same thing lol. We have stab wounds and gun shots they have cute old lady’s with cuts on their legs.
I see it as fluff. In the usa it is scoop and go ... Stabilization is while in route or in the hospitals with physicians present in the event things turn not serious.
americans like to dramatize everything...
"Nice and Gentle" was the CRITICISM I had about this video - I found it kind of BORING. Too much background and not enough treatment - but this is about an AMBULANCE and FIRST RESPONDERS and not about emergency medical DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT. I prefer being the DOCTOR to being a FIRST RESPONDER.- not the fault of the video just my preference.
That old lady was styling and had some nice legs. I hope my legs look that good when im old.
Exactely what I thought! :)
Thats what i thought!
Yep
For a sec I thought you did the Swedish *leg* mistake... 😂
Do sport :)
Charlotte is in immense pain and can barely cope and she rates it a 9/10. Someone who can perfectly talk, sit round and seem stable says 10/10 with no intense damage. Pain really is subjective.
Right? In one of the early episodes, a woman who scraped her knee - literally just scraped her knee - rated her pain at 9/10 and took air and gas. In the same episode, a teen broke his collarbone and walked himself across his school campus before calmly communicating with the responders and also rating his pain at 9/10 and receiving air and gas.
It’s super different for everyone.
I live with chronic pain at a 6 - 7 level that never eases up (a massive injury sustained six years ago); I don't like anyone else to know how much I hurt, so I typically joke a lot so that others don't otherwise know that when I'm by myself, I'm not the smiling, joking person they see most days. I feel very sorry for the young girl; that pain is horrendous, especially for someone so young.
Yup
Joyce Blodgett I totally understand. I deal with chronic pain (not injury related, just got really sucky genetics) that hovers between a 6-8 but I hate letting people know how much I hurt unless they are super close with me. My parents don’t even know how bad it really is (do not worry I am an adult, not a minor hiding medical issues from my parents)
I felt so bad for the girl with kidney problems. I passed a kidney stone the same time I was giving birth to my third child! The nurses talking about me like "what's wrong with her, the baby is out!" A week later I was back in the hospital with a kidney infection and that folks, was the beginning of a 26 year kidney rollercoaster which leaves me at level 3B in chronic kidney disease. So, boy oh boy, do I feel for her. Hang on there Sweetheart! 😊💖
I'm sorry you went through all of that, you seem like a brave and strong person. Much love to you ❤️
Same. After my first kidney stone when I was a teenager I had dozens more after that followed by horrible kidney infections UTIs and almost a loss of kidney function. It's like after that first stone passed, it triggered an avalanche of problems
My grandma is 82 and she has stage3 kidney but it's because of acid reflux that causes it :(
" oh. I'm still sane" ...you tell em lady!..
As a chronic pain patient I hate when doctors just keep sending you home with no resolutions. It feel like a go home and suck it up for as long as you can until you can bear it then head back. It’s horrific to be in agony and to know you will not get any help. I’ll be praying for Charlotte.
I've had kidney stones. The pain was excruciating.
Poor Charlotte, I really feel for her. I hope she's Ok!!
I know right! I hope she’s better.
I hope so, too. I almost cried with her! Poor dear!
People always think peeing out the stone is the worst part. but when I had mine the stone as it moved trying to pass in the tube is the only time i've ever felt pain so bad I would actually throw up during it. I pray I never have to deal with another kidney stone. and this girl has been back and forth over 20 times with what im sure is even worse pain than I felt D: I feel aweful for her.
charlotte managed to talk despite the pain she's feeling and that is so hard!!! 😣 i was just groaning and panting on the way to the hospital. the pain was hellish, indeed. i remember waking up with a painful tummy, i thought it was just gas. when i started throwing up, i knew i was damned. 3 days later i peed stone..
Omg yes this is so painful I will never forget that pain
The 94 year old woman was SO cute!!!
She's amazing lol. I cracked up when she said, "or I shall hit you with this." 🤣🤣
I agree!
Do not infantise elderly people ....... they are people who have grown old.
@@shellc6743 I'm sure if someone younger behaved the same way, joking about, someone would still find it cute. Some people have adorable personalities no matter their age, and some might find their spunkiness "cute" in their old age, in contrast to the cantankerous, non-compliant sort. Some find the cranky folks cute, too, if one isn't a nay-saying wet blanket. Some people like people.
@@shellc6743 it’s a biological instinct to find elderly people cute, for the same reasons we find babies cute. They’re vulnerable, therefor we find them “cute” which, in turn, makes us feel more inclined to care for them. That being said, I do agree with you, more so if you’re actually talking to the elderly person, don’t treat them like a baby, of course. Just because we may find them “cute” doesn’t mean we should project those feelings onto the person, because it really is degrading.
I say it many times, the patience you show with these people is amazing! That 73 year old lady, made me realise how blessed I am at the same age, I work in the garden, make all my own compost, clean my house, love cooking too, also love walking! Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️
I hope I am like you! I exercise every day and I’m very careful with my diet. I’m taking good care of myself now so I can enjoy my Golden years keeping up with our grandchildren! Love from Las Vegas! ♥️💪🏼
I’m 73 and very able to do everything but I suffer from pathological laziness 😬
@@annamarielewis7078 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I could say the same, but I hate housework & rather go in the garden! Have a lovely evening/day wherever you are 😁
I’ve recently been in an ambulance in France, and let me just say how lucky we are in the UK to have such high-tech ambulances. No disrespect to France, the paramedics were lovely, but it was essentially like being in the back of an empty van with a bed stuck in it. No pain relief, barely any equipment. We need to appreciate and support the NHS more, we are so lucky.
Honestly Doreen has amazing muscle tone for a 94y/o, she looks so much younger than she is, it’s so encouraging seeing her still flourishing (minus the injury, hope she recovered well❤️)
Props to the mom for staying calm enough to explain everything
Doreene being 94 and living by herself and taking care of herself is amazing. I know people 68-70 who needs full attention at an elderly home. Of course it depends on how they lived their life and such
My brother stuck 6 pieces of Lego up his nose, so I can assure you it is possible, they got 4 of them out but the other two were so far up along and with him refusing to stay still they had to give him some sort of light sedation and go in there with a camera and tweezers to pull them out. Moral of the story: never put anything up your nose, he never did that again.
He absolutely hates it when we bring up the time he shoved Lego up his nose so I am sure he would just love the fact I told a bunch of strangers on the internet!
Hahaha tell your brother it’s ok, I shoved an entire tissue box full of tissue in my nose when I was a toddler! I had to go to the hospital to get it taken out too😂😂 it happens!
Well at least he didn’t suffer the indignity and pain of zipping ones member in the zipper of his footy pajamas! Having to be taken to the ER and treated by Gasp a female doctor! I was 5-6 at the time and can still hear him screaming about not wanting a female doctor!
Timothee Ïś Thé Béśt I didn’t believe my mom either at first but she swears it was true, lol🤣
He got some tunnels! A cavern!
I shoved a googly eye up my nose as a kid and the hospital tried for ages to get it out and was just about to transfer me to a children's hospital when they decided to give me one last benadryl which I ended up choking on and it blew the eye out of my nose 😂😂😂
My mom lived to be 90 and couldn’t have gone shopping! This lady is amazing at 94. God bless her!
My granddad was up on his roof shovelling snow at the age of 90. His neighbors called my mom and was worried.
He was very stubborn and didn't want to move out of his house.
Always wanted to fix everything himself.
My mum is 93 and still does everything, shopping, cooking, walking five (5) miles daily. Am I really her daughter? I’m so lazy.
I love how EMS never discriminates against anyone based on age or physical condition. It’s a beautiful thing!
Poor Janet! I wish she lived near me. I would visit her regularly so that she has someone to talk to. We must do better in taking care of our elderly.
She does need to go to a home. She could use the care they provide and the company of the others there would be good for her.
Choc
@@ElizabethHernandez-xx7ow ??
@@andrewburkinshaw1446 Homes have a tendency to harm elderly folk.
You could just find another nice old person who lives near you!
it blows my mind how the paramedics can call in referrals. that’s awesome! i bet that helps lessen the burden on GPs/PCPs
I love this show. It proves to me that the US needs an NHS. These people aren't afraid to call for help when they need it. In America, you don't call for an ambulance unless you are already 80% dead. No one wants a 600$ ambulance bill. If you are in as much pain as the first woman, you get the fun of walking yourself into the ER. If you break a bone, you get to go to Urgent Care instead. It's so sad.
P.S. Damnit Janet, we almost got to see a naked 40 year old man in his shower.
to bad Americans are so afraid to let the state have a little control
I was an emergency paramedic for over 25 years. Believe me, no one is afraid to call for an ambulance. In fact most of the calls for ambulance are for something they could see their doctor for. The people who don’t need assistance regularly abuse the system. I even had one call for a sick child. I walked past 5 vehicles (all newer than my own) and was told upon being met by the father - “my car is not good enough to take my baby to the hospital”. The child had a cold and was in absolutely no distress - parents were just tired of dealing with him. People who truly needed EMS (especially the elderly) would apologize for “disturbing” us. It was not uncommon to be at a BS call when another call that was serious would happen nearby. Sadly we could not go to the significant call because we were dealing with some idiot thus delaying care for some who really needed assistance who had to wait for the ambulance stationed further away. Abuse of the system is rampant!!!!
I literally tell everyone not to call 911 unless I'm critical(I haven't had an instance where that is needed thankfully). I cannot afford that bill, even paying for top insurance at my job.
My dad got stuck with an ambulance bill even though all of his medical is paid by the VA because he's 100% service disabled
Literally had a mini stroke at work and refused an ambulance because I couldn't afford to take one. Ofc I later found out the company would have paid but still, I knew what was happening was serious and I also knew I couldn't afford an ambulance. I worked the rest of my shift and had my supervisor call my parents cause I couldn't speak a sentence at that point nor could I drive.
To be honest i'm happier with the current state of US healthcare! Have you heard these stories?!? "Shes been to the hospital over 20 times and still waiting on test results" like that absolutely blows my mind. In the US i can schedule and appointment or even just walk into a specialists tell them my problem and either have tests done the same day or if its more intrusive schedule them for the same week or the next and have results nearly immediately. How are these poor people going to the hospital and being sent home without at least a diagnosis?! In the US you go to a hospital to get a diagnosis and treatment not to be sent home to wait on a test.
Lady: *calls emergency services cause her kid got a pea in her nose*
Me: *is clinching my chest and is lying on the floor* “don’t you even think about calling them!”
Lmaoo just reminds me of when i stuck a lemon jelly bean up my nose as a toddler
Lol I almost had to go to the emergency room when I was like 3 because I stuck toilet paper up my nose and couldn’t breathe 💀 then I fractured my arm.
@@diamond8645 you see? You were fr in danger but this lady’s kid had no problems breathing and just had to blow out of their nose harder
@@unicornqueen268 It's not like she was flying off the handle panicking. If it doesn't come out she knew she'd have to go to the hospital to have it checked and removed anyway. What if she doesn't have access to a vehicle to get her there herself? It's not like it is here in the states where the fees would be astronomical. Also, good luck trying to communicate the merits of blowing ones nose 'harder and longer' to get the pea out to a 3 year old who is frightened.
Cant u just blow it out? I have gotten alot of things stuck in my nose but just blow it out
I am going to be 73 in a few days and I am still cleaning houses. Makes you thankful for your health when you see somebody the same age going downhill
Although the same age, my sister looks and acts so much younger than Janet does.
My sister has a stylish "A-Line" haircut that is very youthful looking. She doesn't have much money to spend on clothes but still looks stylish. I buy a lot of clothes at thrift stores and, if you're discerning, you can find stylish and well-made clothes there.
It's wonderful that you're still cleaning houses and have the health to do so. I imagine your job has helped keep you fit because it's a very physically demanding line of work to be in.
Man, that girl's pain really reminded me of my own attacks of kidney stones. The pain was so intense it made me throw up, made me writhe in place because I couldn't bear to just sit still. They call i 'writhing pain' in diagnostics, and they're no kidding.
Paramedics aren't just medical professionals, they're customer service representatives and social workers too. Talk about a melody of talents.
Hmmm. I love it "melody", because it sings with a little hint of humor. I know what you meant. I've seen it before from other comments, and it always makes me chuckle, because I'm a singer. If you need the word, I'll share it with you. You can also edit that comment and correct "melody" to the right word by using the "actions" button below your comment, and just erase that and replace it with the word you meant. Then, just click "Save", and voila!
The 94 yr old woman still had beautiful legs! Bless her heart! ❤
This lady is one sharp 94 yr young 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@theotherone8036 yea
For the poor guy who fell in the shower (even though they didn’t end up going to him) all I could picture was Sheldon filling out the form in the hospital “reason of accident: lack of adhesive ducks”
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Bless her, 93 and out and about shopping. If she'd had glasses before this she may not have ever had the fall.
i love watching these series...we have a lack of them in Canada for some reason? Grats UK for setting the trend in this area!!!
These I’m pretty sure are super old..
We don't have them in Canada due to privacy and patient confidentiality laws. There was a Canadian program from the 1990s sometime but in the last 20 years the laws have become stronger in this regard. Although we don't yet have privatized insurance it looks like it is heading that way in my province and also I don't think the EMTs or physicians want to be put under the scrutiny that some of these programs put. I've seen things in some of these programs that have been questionable - not this one per se, but there seems to be a whole host of programs from the UK like this.
I know! I'm in Canada, and I love this series!
tigress63 Search up “Paramedics: Emergency Response” here on TH-cam. It’s actually from Saskatoon 🤩
It’s because of privacy laws
I feel you Charlotte. In my teenage years I was in and out of the hospital for kidney stones and UTIs. It was the worst pain in my life. I passed out from the pain
Did it improve over time?
@@sweetberry9816 yes. It came and went out of no where
29:07 I feel so bad for this old lady. My grandma calls and tells my mother, her daughter that she has pain here and there and everytime it's something new, but it's just because she's lonely and wants to have people around. We understand younger people because we've been young or are young ourselves, but the only persons older than old people are dead, so there's no one to understand them.
I am a video producer in the USA. These videos are so well produced. “Nice work” to your entire team.
It is so sad, that most elderly people aren't happy and are very lonely. 😩
I've watched quite a few of these and am impressed with how nice and compassionate the EMTs are. I had to call an ambulance for difficulty in breathing in Lansing Michigan and they were not nice or gentle or kind.
I wouldn't call an ambulance if my child put something up their nose, I'd just take them to the GP or ER myself.
Not if you don’t have a car you wouldn’t
@@roseharris8528 Then I'd take an uber/taxi or even public transport 🤷♀️
@@marianna3253 And risking your child to stopped breathing or the heart to overwork and stopped working due to lack of oxygen while waiting for your uber or while on uber? And maybe giving an uber driver extra anxiety while driving or scarred him/her for the rest of his/her life? Sure if taking uber will be faster to get you to a hospital then do that. But if you think it's not that urgent... Something's wrong with you.
Sometimes when you seem to care about the greater good, it may actually cause more damage than you actually realized. If you can't get what's stuck out, or it seem to go too deep to take it out yourself safely. Do what they do and call experts that are trained to deal with situation like this, You know sometimes you don't have to try to be a hero to the society. We've got them ruining the society unknowingly enough already.
@@Mar1s3z A little Over reaction? The kid had a bead up her nose, she was not having a cardiac arrest, nor was she likely to have one. It was Wolverhampton, not Outer Mongolia. Despite what people say, they do have lots of civilised things like Public Transport, and plenty of it. I would call it time wasting.
While you are acting Drama Queen over a kid doing kid stuff, someone may be Genuinely in serious trouble and needing that ambulance. All they were was a free ride.
I wonder if You really Would send for an ambulance for your brat with something up it's nose if you had to Pay for it? Hmmmm? Be honest now. But that wouldn't fit with your self righteous indignation would it?
Sometimes you don't have to be a ProfesionalVictim drain on society either?
What the paramedics were discussing at 14:11 about being kind during someone’s emergency is so true. I’ve thankfully had very few trips in ambulance but one experience was absolutely horrifying. They treated me like I was a hypochondriac and were quite brisk and cruel, hesitating before taking me to hospital. Inexplicably this continued with the nurse who assessed me. Once they realized that I was quite sick their attitudes changed. It was infuriating. On top of being in a great deal of pain I was scared and so was my husband. Thankfully that is the on,y time I experienced that. Any other interactions for myself, family, clients have been so much better - kind, patient, etc.
I’ve been in an ambulance once, and my very British mum was with me so the emts were spot on, but I felt so terrible I didn’t pay any attention. I’m usually very chatty. Turned out fine.💜
Was this in US or UK
@@acphantom6437 🇨🇦
Charlotte sounds like she has porphyria which causes EXTREME pain and dark urine and kidney symptoms, but is actually a metabolic disorder. It’s almost never correctly diagnosed unless a patient pushes for YEARS. I knew someone with this who looked JUST like her during these episodes who went ten years like this. Poor girls... this is misery.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it thought that at least some of the people historically accused of having been vampires actually suffered from this?
I had this when I was very young. Let me tell you, it's brutal. My left kidney is 2/3 scar tissue and no longer functions because of the reflex. They only caught it a year later because my mother insisted on visiting different doctors until one took us seriously. I'm in Canada, btw.
@Timothee Ïś Thé Béśt For me, I was born with it. The sphincter that closes the bladder off from the kidney overgrew and couldn't function, so the urine backtracked into my kidney. It can also happen if you are prone to infections, which can scar and inflame/damage your urinary tract and cause this to happen.
She mentionned they saw some issues with the tubes between her kidney and bladder and there's reflux. That would explain the ongoin issue. The porphyria you're mentioning must be the acute intermittent porphyria, the urnie isn't always dark but can also be purple looking. Extreme vomiting, urine change, mental change.
Many ryoe of poephyria disease are sensitive to the sun and often develop rashes from exposure. This is why the vampire was associated with them.
@@jamsaidemelo1367 That explains why me and the sun don't get along very well.... got a 3rd degree sunburn on my face in 2 hours of exposure and almost immediate heat exhaustion if I was in direct sunlight for 2 weeks until it healed.
They took very good care of that 94 year old lady. I have a great aunt who is 98 I'd trust them with her and care.
My favorite thing is “you doesy cow!”
Awe, poor Charlotte. She must be lonely. I like the way they are patient with her. I love watching this show and listening to people in the UK talk. We, in the US, have so many different expressions for things. Its true, the paramedic shows in US are crazy and are very dramatic. This seems like so more laid back and chill unless they just arent showing us the bad calls. As a nurse, myself, I enjoy watching other caregivers, especially in other countries. I see this is pre-Covid. I wonder what it is like now?
I'm obsessed with these! More, more!
Same! I randomly stumbled across it a couple of days ago and I’ve been watching nonstop
Same! I love their compassion. Its soothing to my soul to watch people who care about others.
bfran Saammee I never knew about them until they stumbled into my recommended
I'm obsessed too. I think the British television shows are addictive. It has me using British English instead of the normal American dialect.
Megan Greene Yep, I am American too watching British shows and it isn’t letting me down. XD Now I wish American shows were this good.
Im curious why we don't have this gas and air treatment. Over here in the good old USA, they just let us suffer a while🙄
It is a thing in usa...
Or pump us with opiates lol. While we do have gas and air it's nowhere near the first thing they think of for pain.
@@Gcor239 agreed. They wanna give us the expensive drugs first so they make more money
@@Gcor239 Good luck with that, because they don't care what's wrong with someone or how severe the pain is. My cousin has stage 4 cancer and they took her off of 5mg hydrocodine. I have severe chronic pancreatitis and other severe issues with my pancreas, liver, stomach, and intestines, with a fun feeding tube in my intestines. They won't help me at all. Its become so difficult that people are either using street drugs or committing suicide.
@@Gcor239 Entonox (gas and air) is one thing. However, you're not going to be able to give opiates to someone who is already having problems catching their breath out in the field because they can cause respiratory depression just on their own. They do want to help you be comfortable, they don't want to kill you in the process however.
I wish there was something called a safeguarding referral here. I wish people could get carers multiple times a day. A blessing
"You dozy cow" is my new favorite insult 🤣
“So you do the squeeze SQUEEZEEEEE, and then let go” 😂😂😂. Sounds like a nice hug 🥰😂
The British once raided the world for their spices... and now complain about Wasabi oh the irony...
to be frank, they needed the spice for preservation of food... they ain't got fridges back then
Wasabi peas are just coated in green horseradish 🤮

I swear that people have gotten bad about ignoring emergency vehicles.
I can only hope that my legs look that good when I’m 94!!!
ive delt with this pain, its like having someone pull a string of barbed wire out of your side..
Mom calls ambulance for a pea in nose
Me with a broken arm and in crippling pain: DONT YOU DARE DIAL THAT NUMBER JUST SHUT UP AND DRIVE ME
yea coz of that bill later I kno
why is nobody talking about how the mother literally knowingly just called for a ride??
When they arrived and said they cant do anything and have to go to hospital she sais "thats what I was thinking"
Like, call a taxi for christ sake!!
In the states when I call 911, the fire department sends their EMT's and they are accompanied by a fire engine staffed by several firefighters who are completely unnecessary. It's a fisherman's union thing that ensures job security for the union members. But anyway, I have been in an ambulance 2 times.Neither time did the EMT's look at me or talk to me during the ride to the hospital. These British prarmedics are so much more personable and ❤
I mean 'fireman's' not 'fisherman's.

I live in a semi-rural area in the U.S. and have had paramedics much like the ones in this video. I'm sure they don't get nearly as many calls as they would in more densely populated areas, so maybe they're not as stressed out here.
Doreen (sp?) is adorable. Stark difference between her and Janet.
My daughter stuck a craft googly eye up her nose when she was 2. Certainly wasn’t an ambulance call, but we did have to go to the emergency room twice to get it out. Here in the US I’d still be in debt over that cost.
I had to have my ureter stretched 2 times. Minor surgery. I was out, but they threaded a tube to stretch it. 8 years later, new state, new doc. I have a "floating" or "detached" kidney. Certain activities such as long ride in a bumpy car or any activity that vibrates makes my kidney drop down and kinks the ureter. Very painful kidney infections. Now 50 years later. Never had to have surgery to attach the kidney as I just stay out of cars or trucks with bumpy rides, take frequent breaks when on long drives and never more than 8 hours without lying down. Sometimes make sure i am laying with my bum on a pillow. So far, so good.
Excuse me Doreen, showing off her fabulous legs at 94 years old! Go off Doreen! 👏🏻😄
That accent is SO hard to understand for me non native english speaker
They have automatic captions in English but either way it’s probably good practice
same, it gets better with time... for me the captions just confuse me
Yeah, and the automatic captions are really bad... They only pick up the narrator's voice well, but I understand that just fine myself lol. It's the conversations that are hard to understand sometimes.
Imagine going to hull then bud.
Ikr? English is my 3rd language, and I learned the American accent (which I still don't master 100%) so I'm just here trying understand what are they saying, but can only catch a few words.
They seem nicer than in Germany.. my dad had a high fever, couldn‘t walk anymore, pissed on the sofa, didn‘t recognise us and doesn‘t have any memory about anything from that day. We called the ambulance and they told us to just leave him on the couch... some assholes they were. We told them we WANT to get him to a hospital. Turned out he had an infection in both his legs and it could have gotten worse because he is a diabetic.
@real responders, I'd like to thank you for posting videos during the pandemic. I love this show and watch it on a daily basis.
Edit: I felt bad for Charlotte with the pain in her abdomen she is in my prayers. As a 17 year old trying to get into college (after graduating high school) and getting my medical degree in pediatric hematology oncology or as a pediatric intensive care consultant I have always wanted to help people who are sick, especially kids that are battling cancer or other health problems, I'd like to give all the love in this world for the paramedics in doing what they have done. Bless you and have a great day😉❤
Had my left kidney removed cause of stones and infection been where that woman is PAIN doesn't begin to explain the throbbing punch to the flank so glad it's gone im healthy now 😁
I’ve had a kidney stone, my pain was making my throw up and cry from how bad it was. It lasted about a week. I can’t imagine how awful Charlotte has it, and i hope she finds help soon
Doreen has nicer legs than me and she’s 45 years older
Do you have a picture? Just for comparison...
Old people has very good style 💛💜❤️
damn.. they don't give us a numbing gas or anything for the pain for that matter in the US until we at least see a triage nurse! That'd be nice if our paramedics had something like that forsure!
We do have that actually.
Is it just me or did they not give an update on the 6 year old boy, kaylen?! Poor boy. Hope all is well with him
If one had to guess he’s fine! Likely a bit of dehydration causing the headache which in turn also caused the fever. Some fluids, Tylenol, and rest and he’ll be up and running.
@Kyleigh Norton I remember getting the stomach bug when I was in high school and it was the worse 😫 I randomly got it in class and I felt like dying 🙃
Was he the one with the rash? He was the most alarming bc meningitis
Poor Charlotte!!!! She looked like she was in so much pain!
Janey needs a friend. She is so sweet. I hope her family find her a volunteer companion to come and talk. Breaks my heart.
The first patient reminds me of my youngest daughter. She had surgery to fix it.
The 94 year old lady reminds me of my great grandma she lived until 101 years old!
The little boy in this episode makes me think about what I deal with every so often with my son idk why but he stops when I give him a cool bath.
I remember when my son had a seizure from a high fever it scared me
if janet keeps getting dizzy, she could have problems with her cervicals...maybe osteoarthritis, or it could be her bp, or inner ear.... theyre not getting her checked properly
ow he got angry and all he called them was a dosy (sp) cow! I love it there so much. pain meds are so stigmatized in the US it's almost as though they could care less about pain. everyone is so calm and caring. They make you feel like family straight away!
People are calling the ambulance for everything. A bead in the nose is not a reason to call the ambulance.
Or even to go to the hospital! We had friends who ran their kids to the hospital weekly. Example, one was chasing the other, kid #1 slammed the door in #2's face. He MAY have run into it but didn't slam any fingers or toes in it, no lumps or blood...just scared or mad. The rest of us got into the habit of NOT asking how their kids were. "Oh, we were in the hospital with ___ last week." Sigh.
This is England so the system is different. There's no charge for ambulances
You're thinking like an American where you go bankrupt for medical care.
@@tat2d_jenx991 And the NHS is going bankrupt for running to a kid with a bead up their nose. You wonder why the queue is so long for an ambulance or at A&E, here's your answer. Maybe if they charged £200 for an ambulance, people would think harder about whether they really needed one.
@@jnewcomb I never said anyone should call an ambulance over something like that. I was talking more about people feeling they can call for everything.
Great show ❤️ I love watching anything that pertain's to first responder response
Love this series!
sunny crying "i dont want to be a doctorrrrr"😂😭
Janet the fashionista 🥺❤️
Oh God I feel for the guy with Tachy I have POTS and sinus Tachy and having your heart not beat properly is one of the most UNCOMFORTABLE things I've ever dealt with and I've had 14 brain surgeries, 4 back surgeries and a brain infection
One of my worst fears! Falling backwards on an escalator!!!! She’s adorable !
OR falling forward
Why would you need an ambulance for when your kid has stuck up something in their nose, when there is 0 impact on breathing? Take your kid to a hospital yourself! Where is the emergency??
An ambulance is not like a home delivery mobile health center, that comes to your front door just so you don't have to bother.. wtf is wrong with ppl..
I completely agree with you. I watched another where they had over 3,000 calls that day and currently had 9 people waiting for ambulances. They went out for someone having allergies, another guy had acid reflux. It was astounding to me. Here, in the US you call ambulances for real emergencies. I guess because if you have to pay for it, you make it count. Plus, I also noticed that they aren't as respectful of ambulances on the road either and that is probably because they are so common on the road. Just my take on what I have been watching and observing so far. I wonder if they have Urgent Care centers, haven't heard any mention of those and that could help them a lot.
@B C yes! Exactly! And thats why, in the US, you have 0 stupid amd/or unneccessary 911 calls
Oh man that first one was so hard to watch. Poor girl!
I'm sat here watching this and, as if to add a bit of realism, an ambulance goes right by my apartment with siren wailing! 😄
I worked EMS- kuddos 2 these first responders for their willingness 2 wear the cameras- I wouldnt have......u gotta be able 2 move and maneuver easily
U kno what the sad thing is with old ppl like Janet is that they don't rlly have anyone to care for and so she keeps on calling the ambulance so that she can communicate with someone which is honestly sad bcz their the only ppl she can really talk to.
This is ten years old so I highly doubt that she’s still alive but she was shopping with her niece so I’m pretty sure she was in good company for the last few years of life
This make me going to binge watching the whole seasons
Charlotte is a woman who actually gets the universal pain scale
Well the reason nobody really gets it is because everyone has a different pain tolerance. I’ve never broken a bone or gotten a really bad cut, the worst I’ve got is a scrape. So my pain tolerance is really low because I don’t feel much pain. Compared to someone who gets hurt on the daily...
@@giannagodsey8011 look up the pain scale. It has nothing to do with tolerance and all to do with your level of functioning with the pain...
@@giannagodsey8011 yeah but I feel like... No matter how bad your headache is, you understand you're not throwing up and/or passing out
Kara well of course it has to do with that but I’m just saying that’s why people don’t really have the same pain scale. If I had the same symptoms as the first girl I would rate the pain a million out of ten because I’ve never felt that pain before.
@@giannagodsey8011 sure but you have to rate it compared to how bad it is rather than how bad it feels. Like for me, i have a high pain tolerance and I've experienced what I thought was level 6 but then threw up and nearly passed out so I'd now rate it more 7 or 8. I've torn muscles and been told that if I could walk it wasn't really torn so I spent the rest of my vacation acting like it was fine, because I could, and now to this day still feel pain because it never healed right. It goes both ways. In the moment, I should have seen that I didn't have my full range of motion or anywhere near and rated the pain higher, not walked, etc
paramedic humour is the best :) love these guys and ladies~
Hugs! She was saying hugs! Wow I swear I get worse every day. I can barely understand unaccented American English, so any accent or dialect is rough! But I absolutely thought she was saying "hook" meaning a punch 😂
isnt american english just english with an accent?
@@shokojunge7830 there are many different accents used in American English, just like there are for British English. There are also entirely different words and phrases.
@@laethe230 i think i just misunderstood something :( have a nice day though
You're telling me she wasn't saying "a hook"? 😂😂😂
I live in Canada. I find the overhead views of the UK quite beautiful. I really enjoy the British version of this show, unlike the USA version.
When I was 4 I stuck a chickpea up my nose, my mom didn't call an ambulance but she took me to the hospital instead. It may sound like something trivial and not important but anyhting that size can be very dangerous in a toddler's nose. The chickpea was so far up my nose I almost needed surgery.
I laugh so hard when the non driver is reading the info while the one driving is also reading while driving!
I just wanna hug Janet, the elderly lass. 🥺🥺🥺
I have the same issue as Charlotte.
Any bladder infection, is a trip to the doctor right away. I have scarring on my kidneys, and sometimes they ache.
I’ve had many kidney infections. I left a kidney infection because I was tired of the wait times at the hospital (8 hrs+), I ended up with sepsis and had to get IV therapy for weeks (azithromycin and vancomycin).
*This 94 year old women has nicer legs than most women my age (around 40s) lol!!*
I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who yells at people who don't stop/yield to emergency vehicles. Learned a new term today "dozy cow"-had to look it up and might start using it here in the US lol. I almost got rear ended, AGAIN, a couple of days ago when I stopped to let an ambulance pass and the guy behind me wasn't paying attention :(
?stopped? Not easy over???
That one with kidney reflux, I had that exact same problem.Its incredibly painful, and so is the recovery after surgery.
OH, triggered. I experienced the same pain the first girl did. I had a stone blocking the tubes from my kidneys to my bladder. The most pain I've ever experienced. I rather break a bone.
Using nitrous as an analgesic drug in the ambulance and ER makes *SO* much sense. I really wish this was the norm in the U.S. as it certainly would have at least saved a few people from opiate addiction.
