It would be awesome to be able to call the ambulance for a panic attack. Heck it would be nice to call the ambulance for a heart attack and not fear a heart attack from the bill.
Yea i feel really bad for people from US,because for only one trip like this,usually only few miles down to the hospital,they would charge you thousands of dolars... In most countries here in europe including UK there is no charge for ambulance,medical care is covered by universal health care system payed by the state.
Yup, I feel sorry for people in America. Even the poorest countries have free medical care because it is a basic human right. How sad it is that not all governments understand that. So glad I don’t live there.
@@grimreaperalphax1247 Its paid for by taxes. The main difference is that in the US American's don't want higher taxes and they are not allocated correctly. The system of government in the US is the opposite of the UK. IN the UK you trust your government to do the right thing. In the US we don't trust our government to do anything with the people in mind. This is the reason universal healthcare would not work here. There are not enough taxes to make it happen and the middle class would greatly suffer because we pay the majority of the taxes. The rich pay their share but the only way to make it happen is to tax the hell out of people that are already struggling to make ends meet.
@@luna-kiva Thats the thing its not a right. Its an expensive thing that is to be covered by taxes. Its not actually free. Read my response to the other person. Without living here you don't understand why it wouldn't work out. Also people scam the system as it is and it will only get worse if there is free healthcare. People will just not work and get free care. Who will pay for that system to work.
Here in South Africa we have state and private ambulances. They dispatch whichever one is closes avaliable, depending on urgency. If you dont have medical cover and gets transported by a private ambulance, they still dont charge you. Both services are fantastic.

I love how they show panic attacks as valid reasons to get checked up! Panics attacks are horrible, I’ve had countless, was in the hospital once. Mental illness can be just as serious and painful on the physical then physical illnesses.
After my husband died I was left with no insurance and no money, but I began having massive anxiety. Once I called for an ambulance, and when they picked me up my BP was almost strike level. I laid in the hallway of a busy hospital ER for several hours with no help and no medication.They did blood and urine tests and I laid there trying to hold together until tests came back and they discharged me with a recommendation to see someone, but they couldn't find one who would see me without insurance.
@@evalevy2909 I went for help because I needed help. Even though I told them I didn't have insurance, all they gave me were names of Drs who refused to take me as a patient because I wasn't insured. I had already called a couple of them, and when I specifically asked if there was a clinic or practice that would accept me, they literally ignored me and sent me out the door.
Are you kidding me absolutely panic attacks are valid reasons. What kind of a responses that to say a panic attack is horrendous I’ve had many of them. There’s bad as a heart attack.
I've been watching a few of these episodes and there is a serious difference between the UK and the US, in the UK people really call the ambulance for any reason. As an American when I have an episode in public, half my worry and panic comes from the idea that I'll drop unconscious and someone will call the ambulance, and then my family and I are screwed with a hefty bill. Just leave me on the ground, I'll come to. If my issues were frequent enough I'd have that tattooed on my forehead: "Don't call the ambulance, I'll either come to or die and I've made my peace with it."
I never fully understood the fact we have to pay for the ambulance bill if a stranger calls the ambulance for me without my consent lmao. I’m lucky enough to have insurance that covers that, but I can imagine that’s a big worry for someone who doesn’t.
I live in Florida, I only called the ambulance once in my 49 years of life, early 20s I had a kidney infection, back pain for nine days until it finally got so bad I called, and yes, that was a hefty bill, but I didn’t want to worry my family, or ask for help, our healthcare is so screwed up, and it’s 2023 and my son who is now 21 is facing the same obstacles, he doesn’t make enough $’s ,it’s ridiculous love the UK healthcare system.✌🏻
my mom never believed in panic attacks or anxiety, she always thought the person was being over dramatic until one night we had to drive to the hospital because she had one, she couldn't believe it until the doctors told her she was having a panic attack. I remember we drove to the Ambulance entrance of the Hospital because it was urgent, and the paramedic when to help her and calmed her down. She was very understanding.
"Sell you to the circus " lmbo I told my kids that this morning. They laughed and. My oldest pops off with: "Mom you know you'd have to pay them to take us, you did this." Lmao she's right!
Severe panic attacks are not enjoyable, then you have that one lot of people going 'it's all in your head' Why yes, yes it is, and I cant stop it, thanks for stating the obvious and not being one bit of help at all.
I used to have severe panic attacks. For hours. The worst lasted from 8pm to about 3am and I had to get up at 4.30am to go to work. You are just so exhausted afterwards. And people who don't understand are the worst. Fortunately, I haven't been having bad ones for a few months now.
It's all in your head, but so is a stroke. Your head is where your brain is at. Your brain not cooperating is as serious as your heart or your longs not working right
I've called an ambulance to stay in hospital for debilitating anxiety. I felt so stupid calling them but they were so comforting and validating. Still I look back a bit ashamed but this video is so sweet I'm crying at the compassion and understanding of the paramedics. Bless them
Sometimes mental illness can have a physical cause (hormonal issues, thyroid etc). Other times physical illness can have a mental cause (autoimmune problems brought on by stress and anxiety for example). Neither should be ignored, both are to be taken serious. My anxiety was brought on by a severe lack of vit D and B12. I had no idea anxiety and fatigue could be a symptom of that, but it apparently can. So never say "it's just anxiety"... Because anxiety is a lot.
That’s something I find these amazing folks with the NHS are very good at. They seem as focused on mental comfort as physical needs and I think that’s sometimes more important than anything.
Depending where you are they are in parts of Ontario but I find more likely to be at teaching hospitals. (I have had years of experience with hospital staff and ambulances and all kinds of doctors and nurses due to my kidney failure). You DO mean Ontario Canada right? The Province? I am in the Southwestern part.
I live in Ottawa and the paramedics seem to be nice here. I haven’t personally needed to go in an ambulance but I have needed to call them for someone.
I feel for Susan, I recently was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety and everyday life starts to build up and up until you have an attack and it seriously feels like a heart attack. Hugs Susan
@@smugandsmarmy Thank you, yes my therapist has given me tool to help with my anxiety but I still have many challenges to face and over come. I hope you are able to cope with and overcome your challenges too.
I had croup as a baby and then again at 11. If I found it scary at 11 because I couldn't breathe, I wonder how much more scary it would be for that little boy. He's a brave little man!
I think the main reason EMT's and medics are seeing an increase of anxiety disorders, and other mental health issues, is because society is more accepting of it now, and people are encouraged to seek help, instead of suffering in silence which leads to suicide.
i love this show so much I want to move to England so I can be treated as kindly as these patients are if something ever happens to me. thank you for your patience and for showing anxiety or panic attacks as serious in so many episodes :)
I’m not from the UK, but this show is amazing. I really like the way the work there. I wish to continue with my medical education to help others just like these real responders. Lots of support from Colombia.
Croup is absolutely scary idc who or what you do, your baby gets it and you don't sleep a wink worrying about their labored breathing. I was so blessed and relieved when we got a nebulizer machine, it helps termoundsly.
I'm a former EMT Intermediate in the U.S. and impressed with the level of training and competancy of the medics in the UK. And also that they are able to, and that it's part of the routine in the UK to actually spend time with the patient, as opposed to the American standard of "load and go". Also that the UK medics actually administer meds for pain. That is RARELY done in the U.S... And medical care and ambulance is free in the UK. Very few Ambulance service in the U.S. is free. Scotland also operates several air ambulances, which are also free. Air Med in the U.S. Costs a few fortunes !
My better half n I used to live in eastern Oklahoma and paid $120 a month for the both of us for air ambulance services since we lived in a rural area; we never had to use it; but, it was good to know that we had the membership if we ever needed to use it. That was about 10 years ago n would hate to see what they charge for the service now.🥺
Due to having to deal with severe pain and some medical mishandling for over a year, I developed some PTSD and BAD anxiety when having wound treatments done. Until last year, I thought I had my depression, anxiety and stress under control. Nope. There's been out of control sobbing, begging and screaming. I understand Sue completely.
Hehe, those 2 guys talking about dogs and cats in the middle of an emergency call with bells and lights on ...Doing 70 mph down narrow streets... hehe :-) Love it! 26:18 And afterwards you see the girls doing the same on a silent call in the night ... Talking about the weather..Haha! :-) Thanks for the updates... The human body is an enigma, but Im glad someone is trying to figure it out ! Love you guys!
Fainting due to those reasons is genetic and runs in families. You probably have had other family members that have fainted due to similar reasons as well

Omgosh he really called her "Peppa Pig!" Idk whether to laugh or feel bad for her.....I know she laughed & made a pig sound but she's probably making fun of herself b4 anyone else can. That's kind of sad really. 😔
i've been to the emergency room a few times for severe panic attacks and i wish the doctors were as kind as these paramedics were. i didn't feel taken seriously and i felt brushed off. now i'm afraid of telling my doctors that i have anxiety because i feel like they'll brush off my concerns.

Do paramedics here in the States have nitrous oxide (gas and air) on board their ambulances, too, or is this strictly done only in the UK? If they don't here, they should as an option for pain relief/management.
more often than not people like susan often fall between the cracks because they are to well off to get help but the help they need is to expensive and it forces them to choose between eating well, paying for heat or power, transportation to and from work and so many other things families do
I wonder why the A&E keep sending people home instead of admitting them to get to the bottom of the problems. The young man's brother said they were told his brother had severe blood infection. If that means sepsis, it's a deadly problem that is not generally treated at home.
Several years ago, when I was about 25 years ago or so, I had a massive nosebleed which would not stop. I called for the ambulance because I had no one to take me to the hospital. The paramedics were kind of tic'd off that they had come for a nosebleed. I ended up needing to have my nose packed.
I was taken to hospital when I was little I was bleeding from my umbilical cord and when I was eight they found out I have a bleeding disorder called factor XIII deficiency
Glad I did not know how serious croup was when my daughter had it as a young girl. Because of the cost of the ambulance, we just made her a tent over the faucet and ran hot water for her to breathe until the attacks stopped. And we had insurance, too.
Sadly its sometimes the only thing they can do. Not all diseases are known/ understood yet and not all medical mysteries can be solved at this point in time. I've known someone with unexplained seizures. He has had them for decades, has been to all specialists, done all available tests. They don't know how to predict or prevent the seizures, they can just help control them when they happen.
Why would you call an ambulance for having nose bleeds off and on for three days? That's plenty of time to go see your doctor or take a bus to the A&E.
Is it legal there to have kids in a car seat up front? Here in the US (in my state) kids under 13 must seat in back. And have to be rear facing till age 2 and in a forward facing with a 5 point harness till age 4, and in a booster seat till age 8.
I think these episodes are from the 70's or 80's but are just being uploaded now (heck there was no internet back then....). The laws have changed over the decades. Can anyone find out what years these episodes actually ran?
@@kabo0m yes the law has very much changed since the 80s not only the laws but the type of car seat that they have four children now that they didn't have in the 80s I remember in the 90s my little brother's carseat had this like bar that came down and it was only like a 3-point harness type system definitely has people become more aware of the dangers the safer the car seats get
Refering to the case with the young man with heart problems: i wouldn't have transported him sitting beside me in a normal car seat at the abulance. I would definitly put him on the stretcher cause heart problems can change really quickly
Please educate yourselves, people, see a doctor, get tested, read online articles. That lad with the heart issues, pain killers are known to be a risk for the heart, sometimes doctors will prescribe things without consideration or care of the patient, carless doctors. I pray you all to stay safe, and be informed.
All these people who are talking about their parents threatening to sell them to the circus are very lucky. We were told to run away to the circus. Our parents knew there wasnt someone about to pay for us! 😂😂😂
Lol...yep, your parents and mine. I tried to run away when I was like 3rd grade n they made me take my little sister with me n helped us pack a little suitcase, which lasted about 2 blocks in our tiny town....by then it was dinnertime so we went back home.🤣
For croup, get the little one into a bathroom, close the door and the windows and fill the room up with steam. Breathing steamy air helps hugely with croup. Or use a nebulizer or boil the kettle with the lid off to get the room nice and steamy.
4:00 Pretty sure kids aren't supposed to be in the front of the car...especially when they still need a carseat... what was up with that??? Is it legal there? Someone please explain lol
Ya my son had croup he gets it every year and he's 14 now he didn't get it during covid thank God but we where also home he had to be put on a nebulizer for it. Surprised he's not on one. It dies help them alit God bless him
For to call an ambulance in the USA, it will cost me around $1,000. And there are NO rides home. Some health insurance pays part of the ambulance bill, but a lot don't. Maybe if y'all started charging that much, people would stop calling for an ambulance so often and possibly driving to the hospital themselves.
Strange. That one medic said that people grow out of having croup. Nope. Definitely not. I had a nasty case of croup back in November of last year. My doctor said that I sounded like a seal. I can say that being told that I sounded like a seal did not improve my self confidence.
@@kabo0m croup is typically caused by bacteria that causes inflammation of the upper airway and is generally not contagious unless it is caused by the same bacteria that causes strep of which is streptococcus while whooping cough is caused by a virus that is particularly contagious and is especially contagious to those that haven't received the vaccine for it (typically under 1 year of age) well as for those that can't receive the booster shot that is given after age 60.
@@lauragray8301 I had croup quite alot, especially during winter/cooler months. I last had croup last year that was quite bad and was sent to the hospital by my pulmonologist/sleep medicine specialist because he was worried that the inflammation of my airway could get so bad that it would require a breathing tube to keep my airway open/patent.
What is A and E? Ambulance and Emergency? I live in USA. Plus, when you call drawing blood "a scratch", sticking a needle in the arm is actually "poking" the person. That's not scratching at all. Scratch is by going across the area, not staying in one spot. Scratch is as what cats do when cleaning their claws. I don't get why you call poking "scratch".
Poor Sue. Apart from money problems she possibly has to look after her many grandchildren when necessary. Stress is terrible. However Sue you need to have a healthy diet. Takeaways aren’t the best road to go.

My better half n I used to live in eastern Oklahoma and paid $120 a month for the both of us for air ambulance services since we lived in a rural area; we never had to use it; but, it was good to know that we had the membership if we ever needed to use it. That was about 10 years ago n would hate to see what they charge for the service now.🥺
"The crew's body cameras will record everything that happens inside." Yes... that's how cameras work.
19:00 I love this part
Due to having to deal with severe pain and some medical mishandling for over a year, I developed some PTSD and BAD anxiety when having wound treatments done. Until last year, I thought I had my depression, anxiety and stress under control. Nope. There's been out of control sobbing, begging and screaming. I understand Sue completely.
I love how these guys are all so sarcastic yet so gentle towards each other
Thank you so much! I can’t see the previous episodes where I look at and now there is a lot episodes here! Thanks from Sweden 🇸🇪
Har blivit totalt beroende av dessa episoder😁
Hehe, those 2 guys talking about dogs and cats in the middle of an emergency call with bells and lights on ...Doing 70 mph down narrow streets... hehe :-) Love it! 26:18 And afterwards you see the girls doing the same on a silent call in the night ... Talking about the weather..Haha! :-) Thanks for the updates... The human body is an enigma, but Im glad someone is trying to figure it out ! Love you guys!
I've had a few panic attacks so bad that I hardly had time to panic. I flat-out fainted on the spot after feeling that initial cold wave of fear.
Fainting due to those reasons is genetic and runs in families. You probably have had other family members that have fainted due to similar reasons as well
I am proud of the paramedics. God bless y’all and we love you.
wow ! 12 hours way too long of a shift how do you do it ? you are all so amazing!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so in love with Hannah Simkins omg
Good to know I’m not the only one lol
IIt’s so sad. The UK has the highest occurrence of sepsis and septic shock in the western world. They also have the lowest survival rate for sepsis patience .
Love Hannah and Michelle just because they are wonderful.
This is a very different definition of croop than what you get at school in the us I find it much more accurate
Omgosh he really called her "Peppa Pig!" Idk whether to laugh or feel bad for her.....I know she laughed & made a pig sound but she's probably making fun of herself b4 anyone else can. That's kind of sad really. 😔
Hannah is a gem!
And I feel so bad for sue bless her
i've been to the emergency room a few times for severe panic attacks and i wish the doctors were as kind as these paramedics were. i didn't feel taken seriously and i felt brushed off. now i'm afraid of telling my doctors that i have anxiety because i feel like they'll brush off my concerns.
because nothing is medically wrong with you.
@@scoldingwhisper panic attacks aren't normal, so there is something wrong.
Actively studying to be an EMT as I watch this. Wish me luck. I’m on the human body xD
May I ask what are the requirements? Do you have to be an R.N? Thanks for responding.
@@realtalkwithretta1309 there may be prerequisites depending on the program but lots of community colleges offer emt training. You usually don’t need any previous medical training or experience.
@@realtalkwithretta1309 nope! Emt basic doesn’t require anything. You take an EMT-b class (usually 6 mos long)& they set you up fully with that one class. You can continue on to being a medic or flight nurse from there but nothing other than emt basic certs are needed to be an emt
And to continue on- you have to go to school. Like medic school is 2+ yrs depending on the progran
Omg TB I hope the paramedics did not get it.
Do paramedics here in the States have nitrous oxide (gas and air) on board their ambulances, too, or is this strictly done only in the UK? If they don't here, they should as an option for pain relief/management.
No
@@jaxsstrickland1443 that's sad
so sad that she is feeling so bad
Watching from Kenya
30:00 my older brother died of Croup that turned into Sepsis. :( He was not even 2 yet.
Man hannah is so cool :)
Tuburculosis? That’s intense omg
yeah, but at least it's treatable.
Are carseats normally allowed in the front seat in the UK? Iv never seen that before.
Yes. Until the child can comfortably wear an adult seatbelt
more often than not people like susan often fall between the cracks because they are to well off to get help but the help they need is to expensive and it forces them to choose between eating well, paying for heat or power, transportation to and from work and so many other things families do
I wonder why the A&E keep sending people home instead of admitting them to get to the bottom of the problems. The young man's brother said they were told his brother had severe blood infection. If that means sepsis, it's a deadly problem that is not generally treated at home.
That young Ollie is adorable
The traffic here seems better than like even small town in the US..... Or is it just me?
I understood the first woman more than anyone before
Several years ago, when I was about 25 years ago or so, I had a massive nosebleed which would not stop. I called for the ambulance because I had no one to take me to the hospital. The paramedics were kind of tic'd off that they had come for a nosebleed. I ended up needing to have my nose packed.
It's probably runs in your family
Are you In the UK or USA ?
I was taken to hospital when I was little I was bleeding from my umbilical cord and when I was eight they found out I have a bleeding disorder called factor XIII deficiency
I hate seeing people sick but it really breaks my heart seeing a baby sick 😔
Glad I did not know how serious croup was when my daughter had it as a young girl. Because of the cost of the ambulance, we just made her a tent over the faucet and ran hot water for her to breathe until the attacks stopped. And we had insurance, too.
Anytime a baby is sick it's scary and can be fine one moment and life threatening the next
I saw a picture of Winnie the Pooh! He’s an awesome character in the Hundred Acre Woods!!
I absolutely adore Gaz
When doctors treat symptoms
instead of searching for cause(s).
THIS IS NOT HOW TO TREAT PATIENTS!!!!!!
Sadly its sometimes the only thing they can do. Not all diseases are known/ understood yet and not all medical mysteries can be solved at this point in time. I've known someone with unexplained seizures. He has had them for decades, has been to all specialists, done all available tests. They don't know how to predict or prevent the seizures, they can just help control them when they happen.
Why would you call an ambulance for having nose bleeds off and on for three days? That's plenty of time to go see your doctor or take a bus to the A&E.
I need to know if Sue is okay.
I had croup as an adult and it was painful. Poor baby
People tend to pass out during blood work if they haven’t eaten!
I like the poster that says unattended children will be given a Red Bull drink and a free puppy to take home
Poor Susan :(
Is it legal there to have kids in a car seat up front? Here in the US (in my state) kids under 13 must seat in back. And have to be rear facing till age 2 and in a forward facing with a 5 point harness till age 4, and in a booster seat till age 8.
Yeah that’s freaking me out also. Glad to see the little one in a good car seat but still front seats are not as safe as the back seat.
That's exactly what I was about to ask!!! If she got in a accident that little one is gonna be severely injured or dead😔
I think these episodes are from the 70's or 80's but are just being uploaded now (heck there was no internet back then....). The laws have changed over the decades. Can anyone find out what years these episodes actually ran?
@@kabo0m yes the law has very much changed since the 80s not only the laws but the type of car seat that they have four children now that they didn't have in the 80s I remember in the 90s my little brother's carseat had this like bar that came down and it was only like a 3-point harness type system definitely has people become more aware of the dangers the safer the car seats get
@@kabo0m No way they are 30-40 years old, look at the cars, navigation, styles, quality of the video!
Refering to the case with the young man with heart problems: i wouldn't have transported him sitting beside me in a normal car seat at the abulance. I would definitly put him on the stretcher cause heart problems can change really quickly
Asymptomatic bigeminy isn't a major issue.
Oh my gosh that many grand kids 😮
Please educate yourselves, people, see a doctor, get tested, read online articles. That lad with the heart issues, pain killers are known to be a risk for the heart, sometimes doctors will prescribe things without consideration or care of the patient, carless doctors. I pray you all to stay safe, and be informed.
No mistaking that croup cough !
Iv had sever panic attacks since I was 12 first attack age 6
I sound like that kid with croup when I get the flu. Asthma is fun.
@beatrice cannas But your taxes will give you a heart attack.
36 years of asthma and I agree it sucks
All these people who are talking about their parents threatening to sell them to the circus are very lucky.
We were told to run away to the circus. Our parents knew there wasnt someone about to pay for us!
😂😂😂
Lol...yep, your parents and mine. I tried to run away when I was like 3rd grade n they made me take my little sister with me n helped us pack a little suitcase, which lasted about 2 blocks in our tiny town....by then it was dinnertime so we went back home.🤣
For croup, get the little one into a bathroom, close the door and the windows and fill the room up with steam. Breathing steamy air helps hugely with croup. Or use a nebulizer or boil the kettle with the lid off to get the room nice and steamy.
It is actually not advised to treat croup with steam.
4:00 Pretty sure kids aren't supposed to be in the front of the car...especially when they still need a carseat... what was up with that??? Is it legal there? Someone please explain lol
Ya my son had croup he gets it every year and he's 14 now he didn't get it during covid thank God but we where also home he had to be put on a nebulizer for it. Surprised he's not on one. It dies help them alit God bless him
This Video was made on my birthday Cool!
Happy belated Birthday from Oklahoma, US n Merry Christmas ⭐
@@tandiparent1906 Aww Thank you :)
Did he really just call his paramedic partner Peppa Pig??
For to call an ambulance in the USA, it will cost me around $1,000. And there are NO rides home. Some health insurance pays part of the ambulance bill, but a lot don't. Maybe if y'all started charging that much, people would stop calling for an ambulance so often and possibly driving to the hospital themselves.
Strange. That one medic said that people grow out of having croup.
Nope. Definitely not. I had a nasty case of croup back in November of last year. My doctor said that I sounded like a seal. I can say that being told that I sounded like a seal did not improve my self confidence.
What is the difference between Croup and Whooping Cough?
@@kabo0m croup is typically caused by bacteria that causes inflammation of the upper airway and is generally not contagious unless it is caused by the same bacteria that causes strep of which is streptococcus while whooping cough is caused by a virus that is particularly contagious and is especially contagious to those that haven't received the vaccine for it (typically under 1 year of age) well as for those that can't receive the booster shot that is given after age 60.
Most people do grow out of it, some don’t. I had it a ton as a baby and a kid but I haven’t had it since about 7 or 8 years old.
They said if you had it as a kid you you grow out of it as an adult if you didn't have it then you can get it as an adult
@@lauragray8301 I had croup quite alot, especially during winter/cooler months. I last had croup last year that was quite bad and was sent to the hospital by my pulmonologist/sleep medicine specialist because he was worried that the inflammation of my airway could get so bad that it would require a breathing tube to keep my airway open/patent.
What is A and E? Ambulance and Emergency? I live in USA.
Plus, when you call drawing blood "a scratch", sticking a needle in the arm is actually "poking" the person. That's not scratching at all. Scratch is by going across the area, not staying in one spot. Scratch is as what cats do when cleaning their claws. I don't get why you call poking "scratch".
Basically they're just saying that to be patronizing. It sounds a lot better than saying something else.
They are describing how the pain of the needle feels like not what they are doing
I felt bad cause the woman has anxiety
Poor Sue. Apart from money problems she possibly has to look after her many grandchildren when necessary. Stress is terrible. However Sue you need to have a healthy diet. Takeaways aren’t the best road to go.
Mine can last 7 hours to every two 3 4 hours
3:31 Wait. It’s legal to put a child in a car seat in the front seat in the UK?
