I agree. When our daughter was born we were in the ER all the time until she was about 12. Then we hadn’t been there for anyone in our household - a pause of 25 years. Now my wife is in there a lot, unfortunately.
I’m glad she got to be with her father when he passed. It’s such an honor to hold someone’s hand as they transition to whatever is on the other side. To be with your parents is an even greater honor.
Susan is just gorgeous even for her 80’s Or less ! Her teeth are so pretty they don’t seem false , I felt my ❤ tear a tiny when her daughter said her mom didn’t think she was as lovely as she was
I was not expecting Maria's story, the loss of her son Antonio. The exact same thing happened to me with my 2nd daughter, Lexi. Exactly the same. My heart goes out to her. Her father was an amazing man, someone I would have loved to have known. ❤
When my mom, at 87, had a heart attack, they told us she would never be the same and don't expect her to be the person she used to be. When she came home, she was exactly the same. lol She lived for another 6 years, living on her own.
I enjoy watching your videos ! I'm a disabled nurse and haven't worked in years. I do miss it. Sometimes I feel useless compared to what i used to do. I never could get up the nerve to work in the ER though. God bless all of health care providers and you for bringing it to the public! 😊
Hello Denise, I feel for you as I am in the same position as you are, being a nurse and not being able to work any more because of severe illness. I can relate to the work of the nurses and all the hospital staff and it reminds me of how much I liked the hospital as a work environment, and at the same time it makes me incredibly sad not being able to work there any more. I hope you found other meaningful things in your life. For me it's my dog and my friends. Sending you love and comfort! ❤ Teanma
What a testimony to family and love. This episode really touched my heart. I am an end of life doula . Supporting people as they face their mortality and sit vigil and provide care for family after wards as well. So meaningful to see families that love so deeply. Walking beside our loved ones through all stages of life, including the last moments ~ with deep dignity and respect.
I enjoy this show. What I didn't like is that there was no intervention was done for that poor man. As a family we just experienced this with my mother. Being a retired RN and knowing her lab results I knew she had a heart attack. The first cardiologist just gave her meds. The second one chewed him out and she will be having a heart catherization next week. She is 94. People are never too old for intervention. Me being a queeky wheel got answers.
oh my goodness ... I am so in love with gorgeous Fillipo and his daughter ...... my heart goes out to you all - he was so well loved and cared for through his passing - you are an amazing family xx a testament to both your parents xx may he be enjoying extra special cuddles with baby Antonio xx I feel really privileged to be able to share in this love of yours xx my heart feels heavy and sad yet also wide and full xx
12:28, I am sitting here in a walking boot, broke my big toe. The Doctor squeezed it bent it every which way I hobbled out in more pain then when I hobbled in. I know it was necessary, and I will survive, but mom is right!
It’s so important to find the right one to begin with. You have years to spend together, loving each other. So as time goes by and your looks and your health change you have a relationship that goes beyond what simply sits on the surface of your body.
I love how the hospitals in uk run. Nothing like the ones here in America. Everyone knows their job and aare on it. Here your lucky if you see a nurse in twenty minutes after being brought to a room
I lost my father in December 2022. We all live in Victoria Australia and dad and his wife lived on the Gold Coast in Queensland where he had moved to after his retirement in 2000. Having him so far away made it difficult to see him as often as we wanted to but he did drive down with her a few times and we all flew up to see him at various times. I also had a stillborn baby, his only granddaughter, in 1997. After they moved his wife made it as difficult as she could for us to see him and especially when he was getting sicker I relied on his 2nd wife, the mother of my youngest brother, ,who I had lived with as a teenager and she still saw dad regularly and always let me know what was happening. When he died, his current wife did not even let us know where his body was. He wanted no funeral, so there was just nothing, as though he had never been here. I was 62, and had always been a daddy’s girl, and I was waking in the night sobbing for him, I felt emotionally like a 5 yr old again, when mum threw him out after one too many affairs, and I attached myself to his leg, screaming and sobbing for him not to leave me. My baby sister and I decided that we wanted something to show that he had existed and that he was loved and did matter to many people. We bought him a plot at a beautiful cemetery near where we live and have had his plaque made with a Cessna plane on it as that was his passion in life. He always felt free when he was flying, he was an extremely successful man, and flying enabled him to escape from the world and be at peace. We will put some things from him that he gave us in there and have a little service for those who want to come. Our stepmother would not give us any of his ashes. I am just so sorry that you lost your darling dad Filippo. Not everyone gets a good father and you and I and the siblings were so lucky to get who we got as our dad. I miss my dad so much, and send you much love from Australia
When the narrator in the beginning intro says “ these are the stories of a nation and its healthcare” should say, and it’s incredibly compassionate knowledgeable Healthcare ❤🙌🏻☺️
Agree 💯 I am a retired RN of 42 yrs in the US! This medical staff is awesome! They seem so calm, cool & collective but believe me they aren’t. They are all so well trained! God bless them.
🕊️ Rest in paradise Filippo 🕊️ my heart goes out to all of his family and friends, he was a beautiful soul with a massive heart and tons of love for those he loved especially his babies and gran-babies. My condolences 💐
Wow. Susan is such an amazing woman. It saddens me to hear when men take advantage of their spouses in any fashion and makes their family doubt themselves even though it wasn’t their faults. She did her absolute best and her daughter showed her appreciation for her Mom that much more. And Filippo was such a beautiful man. Rest in peace, Filippo. Your family loves you.
45:59 he ws hndsome.. i know the pain of losing a parent i lost both of mine 17 yrs apart. It makes me sad becusse im older then my dad was when he died. He was t52. Im 56 . He was to young. so anyone whos father ws in vietnam in the 60s when they sprayed agent orange check on you dad. Everyday
I hope susan come back strong. At 70 i fell and shattered my kneecap. Ortho surgeon pieced iy back together with pins and wire like a juigsaw puzzle. 10 weeks later a wire poked through the skin and i had to have another surgery. I was not allowed to put weight on it for 3.5 months. 16 weeks of pt. My final visit to the surgeon, he did a happy dance because i had full use of it. Then he told me that he didn't think I'd ever have full use again.
A saw an older woman about her age, sitting in her car, and she had just hit an electrical pole. The firefighters and EMT showed up and actually made her get up and walk and I could tell her ankle wasn't right. I'll never forget the young kid just looking up into the sky as he was lifting this old woman and making her stand up. She went to stand up and her foot completely went to the left side of her. I was so angry to see that. Her ankle was clearly broken. I never knew what happened with her after that but I'm hoping she didn't lose her foot either.
My mom made the decision to drink every day. My grandmother lived with us and took care of me. My mother didn’t like children. She loved my daughter, though.
I think it’s disgusting that when you reach a certain age surgery is not an option! 😡who the hell knows what the outcome is going to be! At least by operating you know you’ve tried evert option 😡😡
A safety risk or a quality of life one. Do you end the life of the person in theatre or do you give friends and family the chance to be with them as their life finishes?
One time when I was in hospital, I started shuffling to the bathroom - the nurse stopped me, said “put these booties on, you don’t want to be barefoot this is a hospital”. Eeeewwww…….
@@deb_ellen9733 😳 I was at a hospital one day with my friend who had ALS, so he was there to see all of his doctors (10 or 12 - it was a very long day). Stupidly, I wore flip flops 🤦🏻 By 2:00 in the afternoon my feet were on fire and gritty but I didn’t have time to do anything about it. By the time I was able to kick my flops off and look at my feet - they were absolutely black and covered with grit that looked a bit like ground glass. I got in the shower, gave them a good scrub with a soft nylon brush and some anti-bacterial soap. They were still dark so I kept repeating the scrubbing process until they looked better. When I got out of the shower I sat on the edge of my bed and put my feet in a plastic bin that I had poured a layer of Bactine (because it has lidocaine in it) in and I soaked my feet. After about 20 minutes they were fairly numb, so my wife lathered them with Neosporin plus (because it has lidocaine in it) ointment, put some over-sized socks on that are way too big for my feet, and I laid there and cried for two hours before I finally fell asleep. I’ve never worn flip flops to any hospital since!!! PS I also had taken photos of my feet before I scrubbed them and I sent those photos and a letter to the director of the hospital. I told her I realize my choice of footwear was not the wisest choice, but I also told her I expect the hospital floors to not be that gross either. She apologized and explained that it’s difficult to keep the floors clean when there are thousands of people with dirty shoes and wheelchair tires tracking dirt in all day, and she promised to try to have the floors cleaned a few times during the day instead of just at night. I’ve been back to the facility several times and true to her word, I saw mops on every floor several times. One of the custodians told me all he does now is scrub the main hallway floors all day long on one particular floor. Over and over. He told me there’s one guy scrubbing every floor all day long. But I’m still not wearing flip flops to the hospital ever again! 😉
Kind of annoyed by the doctor with the older women who chose KETAMINE instead of, idk, morphine... to set a fracture?! Ummmm absolutely not. Ketamine is used inappropriately in the UK imo. I know everyone worries about opioid pain medication but jfc, this is the time to use it. A couple doses during trauma is not going to get the older lady "addicted." Ok rant over
I think they were trying to knock her out, and morphine would not have done that. They didn't want her to feel the pain, make her scream. At her age, that would have been a lot more dangerous could have cause more problems, such as heart attack. The Ketamine was a good choice. If you watch this show enough, you see so many screaming in pain when they try to realign a joint.
@@shellyhull698Every time they give younger patients Ketamine they announce that the patient will still scream but they won't remember it. I don't understand why they use it in these instances. Again, like OP, why not just use Morphine? Also, I've noticed it seems like they start jostling an injured patient around, for example when they'll begin to set a fracture, all before giving them adequate pain medication. They say we'll give you pain meds but instead of giving it and waiting for it to kick in they just carry on while the patient's in agony. I don't get it. Another thing that gets me is how someone's BP will drop and automatically they give the patient blood instead of IV saline. These patients should already have IVs of normal saline running. I don't understand why they aren't already and I really don't understand why they'd want to risk further complications as a result of the blood transfusions either. Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I love the show I just don't get why they do certain things.
I live in Australia amd was given ketamine after a spinal procedure as after any for of anaesthetic it’s much safer. She would of been given green whistle aka fentanyl on way to hospital by the ambos
@@michelle-louisehoward8831……obviously, a cast is best, or they wouldn’t be doing it, would they, for the last several decades’? Just common sense, really………
As a former Emergency care nurse, I wish SUSANs “consultant” hadn’t said “that’s gonna be a nightmare” out loud..or in the same room with Susan. Patients take everything they hear from the professionals as gospel and hearing negative comments (even if you may know) only makes a person feel pessimistic…they need optimism… especially at her age … I hope she is well,
Yeah. I thought the same. It was said through the eyes of a professional who could see the surgery, healing, ageing process. Very much a professional thought that should have stayed between professionals in private. While patients need to hear realistic expectations of their injuries but it needs to be free from comments around how others might view the process they have to go through. Some people may thrive others may not but it shouldn’t be influenced by what professionals think they should be feeling about it.
……was in Recovery, post toe Op. Just coming to, when I heard a nurse, who had her back to me, say, ‘this one’s lucky she didn’t lose her toe’. My eyes’ were still closed, but I took a peek at her, but I didn’t say anything to her. When my Ortho came to see me later, I lodged a Complaint with him, about what she said. He was appalled, so I hope she was demoted. It was absolutely disgraceful to say that in earshot of the patient, about whom she was being derogatory.
Ketamine is awful. I wish the usual protocol was something like fentanyl and Versed. Ketamine is too trippy, I would think it would make the situation even worse, for the patient anyhow.
I wasn’t very keen on the stroke registrars bedside manners. I felt like she acted in a very flippant manner when they found the bleed on the brain and with how she communicated with the family. I wouldn’t be happy with that treatment.
Im not far into this one and i am so tired of the text over that i could scream. It just gets in the way and an American that can't understand England's English is doi g the scribe. So frustrating.
I wish they would have been honest and let the man go home to die, that Care Unit, they just monitor, any medications the daughter could have given, Sad ! She could have taken him home,
denying of surgery to seniors, purely because of age, as was the case with Filippo, is unacceptable. If one's kidneys and liver are still functioning well, anesthesia should not be a problem. I suppose the things the doctor worried about were that he already had some dementia, as indicated by the fact that he did not seem to understand that he'd had a stroke, and that he had some cardiac problems. I still think that surgery to remove that clot should have been attempted. What that Asian doctor did killed him, in my opinion. Ive looked it up, and giving Warfarin, a blood thinner, to a patient who has already had a brain bleed, made no sense, and is most likely what killed him. Warfarin can CAUSE brain bleeds, for heaven's sake! The surgical procedure to remove a brain clot involves threading a very fine tube through a blood vessel, to break up and suck out the clot. This should have been attempted for Filippo, in my opinion. The Asian doctor is guilty of discrimination against the elderly. She's not a good doctor. My brother is a physician, and he agrees with me. Most of the doctors I've seen on this show are really good. But not this Asian woman. She didn't even present the option of surgery to the family, and she should have. It should have been their decision, not hers. She should have presented the positives and negatives of every treatment option to them, and let them decide. Prince Philip had hip replacement surgery, at age 95, and walked, unassisted, into Harry and Meghan's wedding a month later. He was thirteen years older than Filippo, at that time. Deciding against surgery for a patient, simply because of his or her age, is unacceptable.
@@SJC49 Oh wait, I've thought of something. In a paper presented at The International Colloquium of Humour Research, neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins University discussed the phenomenological parameters of patients subjected to surgical removal of sensus humor and the ethical implications thereof.
I'm sorry to see the person named Xyua who when assessing Filippo she just drops his hand hard and kinda talks to him with an unpleasant attitude. That doesn't help ANYONE lady. 🤬
I think the most beneficial part of watching these, to develop empathy and being more informed when you end up at an emergency room.
I agree. When our daughter was born we were in the ER all the time until she was about 12. Then we hadn’t been there for anyone in our household - a pause of 25 years. Now my wife is in there a lot, unfortunately.
I have learned so much about the body and the impact of injuries. Love this series.
Wish ER's were better in the USA.
Empathy and compassion is in too short of a supply in most places, but not in this case!
@@deenafenwick8173 I have been there ( emergency rooms) several times, I have never had a bad experience.
I’m glad she got to be with her father when he passed. It’s such an honor to hold someone’s hand as they transition to whatever is on the other side. To be with your parents is an even greater honor.
As horrible as it would be for the surviving person, I think passing alone would be infinitely worse.
@@ladybalhook
I agree!
@@ladybalhookHeld both my Mom's and Dad's hand while they passed. So hard and so sad but I would not have wanted to be anywhere else❤❤
Being close to your parents is a most colossal gift…such big hearts in this episode…we are the luckiest and the saddest🥹…much love to all.
Praying for everyone! Patients, Drs, nurses, and all the techs!
Susan was and is a beautiful lady and Filippo was such a handsome man. God bless them and hope you're dancing in heaven, Filippo. ❤
He is probably dancing with his grandson, at least it’s what I like to think
Susan is just gorgeous even for her 80’s
Or less ! Her teeth are so pretty they don’t seem false , I felt my ❤ tear a tiny when her daughter said her mom didn’t think she was as lovely as she was
Susan is so pretty. Her skin is so smooth and she looks so young.
She is! And she reminds me of Frances Tomelty. 😅
She is a gorgeous looking lady still.
Tilly’s Mom is great!
I was not expecting Maria's story, the loss of her son Antonio. The exact same thing happened to me with my 2nd daughter, Lexi. Exactly the same. My heart goes out to her. Her father was an amazing man, someone I would have loved to have known. ❤
Banijay Bluelight, This video is fantastic! I liked it a lot!
From The USA/States- ... Thank you for shows ☺️ keep them coming!!

Rest in peace beautiful , gentle Filippo.
When my mom, at 87, had a heart attack, they told us she would never be the same and don't expect her to be the person she used to be. When she came home, she was exactly the same. lol She lived for another 6 years, living on her own.
More great, heartwarming stories. I can't imagine the strength of those willing to share their stories with the public.
I had six strokes and was a nurse on the stroke unit so Filippo holds a special place in my heart ❤️ 😢

Also, I've noticed it seems like they start jostling an injured patient around, for example when they'll begin to set a fracture, all before giving them adequate pain medication. They say we'll give you pain meds but instead of giving it and waiting for it to kick in they just carry on while the patient's in agony. I don't get it. Another thing that gets me is how someone's BP will drop and automatically they give the patient blood instead of IV saline. These patients should already have IVs of normal saline running. I don't understand why they aren't already and I really don't understand why they'd want to risk further complications as a result of the blood transfusions either. Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I love the show I just don't get why they do certain things.
I live in Australia amd was given ketamine after a spinal procedure as after any for of anaesthetic it’s much safer. She would of been given green whistle aka fentanyl on way to hospital by the ambos
What do they use plaster and not moon boots …silly when clearly these big exposed fractures require surgery
@@michelle-louisehoward8831……obviously, a cast is best, or they wouldn’t be doing it, would they, for the last several decades’? Just common sense, really………
As a former Emergency care nurse, I wish SUSANs “consultant” hadn’t said “that’s gonna be a nightmare” out loud..or in the same room with Susan. Patients take everything they hear from the professionals as gospel and hearing negative comments (even if you may know) only makes a person feel pessimistic…they need optimism… especially at her age … I hope she is well,
Yeah. I thought the same. It was said through the eyes of a professional who could see the surgery, healing, ageing process. Very much a professional thought that should have stayed between professionals in private. While patients need to hear realistic expectations of their injuries but it needs to be free from comments around how others might view the process they have to go through. Some people may thrive others may not but it shouldn’t be influenced by what professionals think they should be feeling about it.
……was in Recovery, post toe Op. Just coming to, when I heard a nurse, who had her back to me, say, ‘this one’s lucky she didn’t lose her toe’. My eyes’ were still closed, but I took a peek at her, but I didn’t say anything to her.
When my Ortho came to see me later, I lodged a Complaint with him, about what she said. He was appalled, so I hope she was demoted. It was absolutely disgraceful to say that in earshot of the patient, about whom she was being derogatory.
I can watch vomit, see all the blood, wide open cuts, but OMG open breaks make me want to vomit! That's why I am a hospice nurse and not ER or Ortho!
Susan is so beautiful.
You are a very lucky daughter
Ketamine is awful. I wish the usual protocol was something like fentanyl and Versed. Ketamine is too trippy, I would think it would make the situation even worse, for the patient anyhow.
Where’s the dog?
Another Cape tonian here watching u. Awesome job guys
I wasn’t very keen on the stroke registrars bedside manners. I felt like she acted in a very flippant manner when they found the bleed on the brain and with how she communicated with the family. I wouldn’t be happy with that treatment.
Oh and I bet Antonio met Fillippo at the gates
Where are the husband's and fathers, ?
Im not far into this one and i am so tired of the text over that i could scream. It just gets in the way and an American that can't understand England's English is doi g the scribe. So frustrating.
Video very blurry .
Mine isn't.
Very clear.
I think that’s your eyes or connection, it is fine.
I wish they would have been honest and let the man go home to die, that Care Unit, they just monitor, any medications the daughter could have given, Sad ! She could have taken him home,
I always enjoy watching and pray for all to recover fully . Tilly’s Mom being a rug muncher seems irrelevant and I feel so sorry for the child Tilly .
Didn't know that surgery would help a stroke?
I think it can stop the bleed if they have a good chance of recovery. This poor gentleman is just too frail, unfortunately.
Why they don't used gloves!! Omg
Don't need gloves for everything. Handwashing protocol
Gloves are not always sanitary
denying of surgery to seniors, purely because of age, as was the case with Filippo, is unacceptable. If one's kidneys and liver are still functioning well, anesthesia should not be a problem. I suppose the things the doctor worried about were that he already had some dementia, as indicated by the fact that he did not seem to understand that he'd had a stroke, and that he had some cardiac problems. I still think that surgery to remove that clot should have been attempted. What that Asian doctor did killed him, in my opinion. Ive looked it up, and giving Warfarin, a blood thinner, to a patient who has already had a brain bleed, made no sense, and is most likely what killed him. Warfarin can CAUSE brain bleeds, for heaven's sake! The surgical procedure to remove a brain clot involves threading a very fine tube through a blood vessel, to break up and suck out the clot. This should have been attempted for Filippo, in my opinion. The Asian doctor is guilty of discrimination against the elderly. She's not a good doctor. My brother is a physician, and he agrees with me. Most of the doctors I've seen on this show are really good. But not this Asian woman. She didn't even present the option of surgery to the family, and she should have. It should have been their decision, not hers. She should have presented the positives and negatives of every treatment option to them, and let them decide. Prince Philip had hip replacement surgery, at age 95, and walked, unassisted, into Harry and Meghan's wedding a month later. He was thirteen years older than Filippo, at that time. Deciding against surgery for a patient, simply because of his or her age, is unacceptable.
15:55 Damn men get bashed in the UK like we do in the USA
The tib/fib lady looks like she is in her late 60s
My opinion on Chinese food. Always need a pizza afterwards...
Why do we need to know about the sexual relationship of the teenage girl’s Mom🤔
For all intents and purposes you need something from "a man" to have a baby...
Susan’s daughter is very dramatic!🙄🙄🙄
I don't like it at all, Miley does it brilliantly.
Evil father.
In every episode the patients are "rushed" to St. George's. I wonder if any of them are ever transported slowly by bicycle or ox-cart . . . . :--)
Anything more intelligent to say?
@@SJC49 Not at the moment.
Thought not.
@@SJC49 Oh wait, I've thought of something. In a paper presented at The International Colloquium of Humour Research, neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins University discussed the phenomenological parameters of patients subjected to surgical removal of sensus humor and the ethical implications thereof.
@@sarahsnowe .. *Yawn*
I do not like the attitude of that heart doctor!!! At all!!
I'm sorry to see the person named Xyua who when assessing Filippo she just drops his hand hard and kinda talks to him with an unpleasant attitude. That doesn't help ANYONE lady. 🤬
Unbelievable. Well, not really. Meghan is way too full of herself and Harry's best be done with her.
FFS you're walking normally on it. Ice an a bandage, stop tying up ER time and resources....
Did you not see her foot? Glad you are not a doctor! Of course she needs an X-ray!
