    There surely is help for addicts in Australia, especially when you’re pregnant. But she made a choice. She made the choice to still use drugs and not care for her baby’s wellbeing whatsoever. The baby has absolutely no choice, this is not fair and I only feel sorry for the little innocent child being born into this mess.

      I was wondering the same thing. I was a paramedic for 10 years and an RT (respiratory therapist) for 5 years and when I was a medic I’ve had several patients in A fib RVR and I always gave Cardizem IV and with all of my patients it worked just fine. Most patients prefer that route than get cardioverted. We only cardioverted if they were unstable or had major symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain and even then I wasn’t quick to shocking someone. I’ve had SVT as well as having sinus tachycardia and I’ve been given Adenosine more than once (I hate that drug because you feel like someone got the closest elephant they could find and have the elephant sit on my body). With sinus tachycardia usually the person needs IV fluids. I have POTS which affects my heart rate and blood pressure and I’m on medication to treat all of it and I even have IV fluids for daily treatment at home with my central line. I also get IVIG for my CVID which has no cure and means I’m immunocompramised and I’m very prone to getting pneumonia, sepsis, and GI infections and I’ve had all 3 numerous times and I’m admitted to the hospital numerous times. Having been a medic and an RT I know what questions to ask and I understand what’s going on with me more than most people. I’ve come close to dying more than once especially on 12/19/16 when I was severely septic and nearly died and I was hospitalized for 29 days. That was my longest hospitalization and that year it was also my 8th admission that year so I ask a lot of questions. I’ve had hospitals make an error on me a couple of times and once it could have ended badly for me. I ended up in renal failure when I was hospitalized for the 29 days. That stay was only supposed to be for around 14 days and not 29. I’m admitted often as well and I live in the US and the hospital down the street from us I stopped going to when it came to the ER. Twice I was sent home when I should have been admitted. The one time I checked in to the ER with a fever of around 102.8 and with me I’m supposed to be admitted for all fevers over 101.5 because I’m immunocompramised and I’ve had sepsis 4 times. Granted we had Hurricane Ian knocking on our door but I was not comfortable going home with a fever in a hurricane and had I gotten worse I wouldn’t have been able to get to the hospital due to major flooding everywhere. The only way to get around was one of 3 ways. Walking which wasn’t an option, getting military grade huge truck to get you out but they were busy rescuing others who had up to 5 feet of water in their homes and the 3rd option was to kayak out which we didn’t have a kayak. A few days after I was discharged from the ER a nurse called to check on me which they never did. Apparently I had a positive blood culture and at that point I probably could have breathed fire like a dragon. I’m afraid that hospital will end up killing me. I went to a different ER a few weeks ago after I had severe back pain that started a few days prior but it wasn’t that painful. Then the same day I went to the ER but several hours prior I was sitting in bed watching a program on my iPad when I felt a pop in the same area as the pain but this pain was 100 times worse. Then I ended up with a fever but it was a low grade fever. I asked mom to take me to the ER as a precaution. My temp was 100.5 and I was having chest pain as well as back pain. My labs were normal except for a high d dimer and I have a history of DVT including one very big one that required a 2 day surgery and an 8 day admission. This was when I lived in another state. They did an x ray and cat scans of my head, chest, abdomen, and pelvis and all was clear. The hospital down the street probably would have done maybe an x ray and give me an excedrin and say “see ya later”. The hospital I went to gave me 2 options. Stay for a few more hours and get another bag of IV fluids and 2 IV antibiotics OR get the IV fluids and 2 IV antibiotics and get admitted for overnight for observation and she would also give me another dose of IV Morphine for the pain. It was around midnight and mom was really cranky because she was tired and was sitting on a hard plastic chair. She hates that hospital with a passion whereas I hate the other one. I opted to get admitted because my pain was so bad and I had to get mom out of there. I finally got to a room upstairs around 7am and a few hours later I went and got a stress test that also came back clear. It was frustrating because the pain was as bad as when I had abdominal surgeries and I was admitted for those on high dose pain meds but not for this pain. Then they said I was going to get an MRI of my t spine. Ok then. I was hoping for a torn muscle so everyone wouldn’t say “see it’s a pulled muscle just like all the other ones you’ve had”. I really wanted a torn muscle so I wouldn’t think I was such a wimp. When she came back the next day she was discharging me which I knew and I couldn’t wait to go home. The MRI showed no torn muscle. It did however showed broken rib on my left side with a small pleural effusion and some chest wall edema. That’s why the pain was so severe. I broke a rib from just breathing. My PCP ordered for me to get a bone density scan to see if I had osteopenia or osteoporosis because at 47 I shouldn’t be breaking any bones without any injuries. It scanned my femurs, spine, and hips and all showed I had osteopenia at 47🥺. We never would have known had I gone to the hospital I hated. Now I know I’m prone to breaking my bones with minor or even with no trauma.

    As a paramedic one of the hardest parts of the job besides trying to save a life is watching the families suffer especially parents who are in agony watching their child suffer. I’ve had to tell parents that their child has died before. With another call a father accidentally ran over his 3 year old son when he was backing up his truck and didn’t see his son. He was alive when we got there but went into cardiac arrest as I intubated him and we never got him back. It took 2 nurses to walk him to the room to see his dead child. I was told later that his injury was fatal whether we git his heart started again or not
    I’m now medically retired and I’ve watched my mom suffer when she was seeing me in the hospital including when I was in the ICU more than once. I’ve come close to dying more than once and every year my medical history list seems to keep going up and this year is no different. I’ve had numerous hospitalizations and she has always been there for me!

    Why they have to take off the NRM when giving sync cardioversion? his HR is about 130 bpm and look stable enough, how about digoxin?
    Can someone explain? Thank u

    • @debrakleid5752
      @debrakleid5752 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The non rebreather was removed from his face because oxygen and fire don’t mix. Oxygen is combustible and when you shock the patient there can be a slight spark and with oxygen blowing in that direction it can start a fire and severely burning the patient. Same goes for defibrillation. If a patient is intubated we usually remove the BVM from the ETT (intubation tube) to avoid any sparks and oxygen coming together. It’s happened where a patient has actually caught on fire.
      Some hospitals give patients little goodie bags upon admission and some have Vaseline lip balm for dry mouth but you are not supposed to use Vaseline when on oxygen either
      In regards to shocking the patient vs trying a medication I had the same thought. It really seemed that they raced to cardiovert instead of trying a medication first. I was a paramedic for almost 10 years and a respiratory therapist for 5 years. As a medic we could defibrillate, cardiovert, and pace patients as well as give medication to lower the heart rate. I’ve had many patients with A-fib RVR which is where the heart is going faster than 150. We only went to cardioversion if the patient was unstable or had severe symptoms like with a low blood pressure, severe chest pain, shortness of breath and so on. With all of the patients that I had in A fib RVR I administered IV Cardizem. I gave it slowly and with every patient that I did this with the Cardizem worked just fine. With SVT we tried Adenosine and only shocked if the patients were unstable. With A-fib if you shock a patient there is always a risk of complications and if there is a blood clot they can become dislodged and travel to where you don’t want it to go. I myself have had heart rates as fast as 187 and they have always used medication and IV fluids. I have POTS which is a condition that makes my heart rate go very fast so I’m on medication to keep my heart rate down and with this type of POTS my blood pressure is affected a lot. I’m on meds for high and low blood pressure because mine tend to go in cycles where I’m high for several weeks and I take all 4 of my blood pressure meds to get it down and it would go right back up. Once I’m out of that cycle it would normalize for a few weeks and then just the slightest amount of meds makes my pressure crash. I’ve been hospitalized many times for this. I’ve also had 2 DVT and PE’s with hospitalizations for both.
      I hope this is the explanation you were looking for!

      Don't assume it was drug's. This hospital is not what it looks. My brother had a stroke due to medical misconduct. The head of the hospital gave him a formal apology but it's not good enough. He was left for hours with a red line going up to his arm. It was a clot caused by malicious injection plus the wrong medication. If the red line had have travelled to the heart he wouldn't have been here. Royal Melbourne hospital is not what you see here. The crew even ask the doctors to act it out.

    27:20 did they try adenosine first? Maybe it's bad editing but I thiugh the cardioversion is a last chance type of procedure. I had SVT for a while and have had extreme tachycardia a couple of times which was always fixed with the awful adenosine

    • @KHPlays
      @KHPlays ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So this guy was not in SVT, he was in what’s called Atrial Fibrillation with RVR (Rapid Ventricular Response), Adenosine will not work with this as Adenosine acts on the AV node, this current rhythm that this guy is experiencing is originating above the AV node therefore Adenosine would have no effect. Hope this helps :)

    • @KrisOsterhout
      @KrisOsterhout ปีที่แล้ว +2

      KHPlays is correct. The appropriate treatment is beta blockers for maintenance and synchronized cardioversion for immediate treatment. Adenosine is used as a first line treatment in most forms of SVT (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome being a primary exception) if vagal maneuvers fail to convert to sinus rhythm.

      I live in the US and after seeing these hospital shows based out of Australia, the UK, and Canada I would rather go to the hospitals here. Yes we have to have insurance to pay for our stays but the hospitals in those 3 countries with free healthcare have shown the bad sides to free healthcare. I have a couple of friends that live in Canada and one said that when she goes to the ER you can wait for 24 hours in the waiting room and when you finally get a room in many cases there is only a chair. Then if you get admitted you may end up waiting for several days to get to the floor in the ER and you may still be in a chair or in a bed but in a hallway. The hospitals I’ve been to here may put you in a hallway as well especially the trauma centers. I was in the hallway only once but I’m not allowed to be in a bed in the hallway because I’m immunocompramised. I’ve been admitted many many many times including to the ICU several times. My longest wait for a bed upstairs was in January 2018 when I was being admitted for a very bad pneumonia for two weeks. I was in the ER for 26 or 28 hours. I was on those god awful stretchers until around the 16th hour when I asked for an inpatient bed which isn’t great but more comfy than the ER stretchers. I noticed in Canada, UK, and Australia that when you get admitted you usually have to share a room with up to 3 other people and they put men and women together in these large rooms. In the US women share and men share. No men and women together once admitted to the floors and I’ve never seen a room on the floors that held 4 people. All rooms here (at least at the hospitals I worked at as an RT (respiratory therapist) are either single rooms or for two people. We get food although they may taste bad.
      When I was watching some of the shows based out of the UK, Canada, and Australia (most were from the UK that I saw) there was one show that followed junior doctors in the UK and how they were way overworked and a lot of new doctors were quitting within a year or two. Then another show showed people that went to the hospitals for their surgeries and these are not emergency surgeries when someone was admitted to the hospital and needing surgery or some type of procedure. I’ve needed surgeries while admitted several times and only once was one delayed and it was a cryobronch because a piece of equipment broke so it was delayed by 24 hours. In the UK there was a guy who was getting either a gastric lap band or he was having a gastric bypass and he showed up for his surgery and they told him they were going to have to cancel as their were no beds available after the procedure and it was his 5th or 6th cancelled surgery however the doctor felt bad for this man and there was a private hospital across the street with plenty of open beds. They did the surgery and had him admitted after his surgery to the private hospital for his overnight stay. Another man in his late 80’s or early 90’s needed to have surgery on a AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm) and his first attempt was cancelled because of no beds in the ICU for when his surgery was done. I was shocked. A AAA will kill you if it ruptures. He had to wait a few more months and then he went back to the hospital for surgery and got checked in and a few hours later they would see if there were beds available for everyone who reported to the hospital for their surgeries and this old man finally got his surgery. When they were about to close they saw he had some more bleeding and had to put him back on cardiac bypass to repair this complication and then they realized it couldn’t be done and that they basically had to let him bleed out. Everyone thinks free healthcare is great but it has its bad sides to it especially with so many people using the hospitals for their primary doctors. We have the same problem but it’s not as bad as in the UK, Canada, or Australia apparently

    It's kind of upsetting they spnt so much time focusing on the baby and not the mother

      The mother was full of illicit drugs, they ensured the foetus was ok and not in distress nor was there underlying health issues. Chances are the mother was left to sleep it off

    No birth control in Australia? Drugs and pregnancy do not mix. Sympathy is fine, but drug addicted babies are not.

      Do you really think that the addict is going to care about birth control? I am sorry for her, but not sorry for your ignorance. What a dumb question to ask...

    As a paramedic one of the hardest parts of the job besides trying to save a life is watching the families suffer especially parents who are in agony watching their child suffer. I’ve had to tell parents that their child has died before. With another call a father accidentally ran over his 3 year old son when he was backing up his truck and didn’t see his son. He was alive when we got there but went into cardiac arrest as I intubated him and we never got him back. It took 2 nurses to walk him to the room to see his dead child. I was told later that his injury was fatal whether we git his heart started again or not
    I’m now medically retired and I’ve watched my mom suffer when she was seeing me in the hospital including when I was in the ICU more than once. I’ve come close to dying more than once and every year my medical history list seems to keep going up and this year is no different. I’ve had numerous hospitalizations and she has always been there for me but to see her stressed and crying because we didn’t know if I would survive is frightening
