@@cjmorris47 yea unfortunately I find that your paramedics prioritise getting pateints to hospital ASAP instead of care on site and stabilising as much as possible before even moving the patient
I agree. Especially when one is aware of the surroundings. Everything matters in order to calm down the victim as much as possible, including preserving her dignity.
that means alot to the patient , pure privacy in the street after an accident , to many idiots with mobile cams wants to film , disgusting , no respect for the victim .
That’s the thing, the nhs are absolutely phenomenal in emergency situations like this. It’s the long term care of people with chronic health conditions where it lets so many people down. I can never fault the paramedics, they’re always fantastic - from the experiences I’ve had with them for myself & my loved ones, any way. So glad she’s on the road to recovery. Must’ve been terribly frightening for her x
This is one of my greatest fears, not because of the injuries themselves, but because of the high potential for financial ruin. I am American, if you couldn't tell.
Wonderful to see Brits receiving world class emergency care. In the world of paramedicine Australia and Great Britain are constantly sharing ideas. Most Australian state ambulance services have their own fleet of helicopters, and also use fixed wing aircraft for destinations beyond the range of helicopters. Given Britain's compact size, a couple of NHS choppers wouldn't go astray.
My fiance was pinned inside his crushed car, upside down. He called me from inside the vehicle while they were trying to get him out. He was ok. I was pinned by my own stupidity when the big Sprinter van I drove for work slipped out of gear after I parked it at 4am and rolled into me as I was walking in front of it towards my coworkers house on the opposite side of the street to drop the keys in her mailbox. It pinned me against the vehicle parked in front of it. The street had an incline and that's why it rolled forward and into me. My cellphone was in my back pocket and I couldn't reach it. Nobody was on the street at that hour. I was really crushed and pinned tightly. I felt like I was going to go into shock. All I can remember after that was getting determined to free myself. I don't know how I pushed that big van back uphill but I did, and I wiggled out and temporarily lost consciousness when my blood flow was adjusting. I have very low blood pressure. I weighed about 110 lbs at the time. I was black and blue and deep purple for weeks on the lower half of my body.
@@resnonverba137 lol, I drove for years but now I live in another country and take taxis because I left my car in the islands. I have a perfect driving record. I was tired after driving nonstop for 12 hours. It happens. I never hit anything other than a trashcan when I was 16 and also a frog in the rain. Never caused an accident, either.
I wonder why it took so long to cut her out. Here in the states we have what’s called “golden hour” the goal is to get the PT into Surgery/definitive care within an hour after the incident
UK medic here, golden hour is only really applied to CAT1 patients where injurys are immediately life threatening and they are in a deteriated state. As she was alert and able to comunicate that's not a worry so the fire crew take their time chooping her out so it causes the least pain and disconfort posible.
you'd be surprised, without any reaction even speeds as low as 25 can cause crashes as lethal as this. Not enough people are aware of things like this, but were talking about 1-3 ton vehicles, any amount of speed can be devastating.
40 mph and stopping almost immediately will leave that , gotta remember how heavy cars are and stopping almost immediately will wreck most smaller cars
To try and safely extricate the patient in order to help prevent against (any/further) spinal damage. Why do you think they do it (given your statement is quite provocative)?
The car is scrap anyway so they might as well take the roof of to give the paramedics more room to work and to make removing the patient easier and safer.
@@Krmic1 - I think it is probably also the same for you guys in that the patient's spinal column/alignment needs to be maintained and so to take out the patient safely, if there is concern regarding a spinal fracture, is to take the roof off. As somebosy has already mentioned, the car is already beyond repair and removing the roof is also fairly quick.
I love how they put up blankets around her when cutting of her clothes. Such a small yet meaningful gesture.
You can tell this didn't happen in the US. Our paramedics don't care about protecting modesty. This is much more civilized.

Very good work by the paramedics and firefighters, bravo!
Greetings from a bavarian comrade.
These emergency teams display the utmost professionalism, teamwork and knowledge. God bless all. 🙏💙🙏💙

Which all comes down to funding (which then informs NHS culture).
This is one of my greatest fears, not because of the injuries themselves, but because of the high potential for financial ruin. I am American, if you couldn't tell.
Absolutely brilliant - the services do an amazing job - pay them now Rishi - they’re second to none - I’m sooo cross !!!
You mean they're not getting Boris's promised 350 million per week from Brexit? I'm shocked! The NHS and the police are chronically underfunded.
@@resnonverba137 agreed 100% x

The Scottish Ambulance Service have two helicopters and two fixed wing planes. There are also two helicopters that are operated by a charity
America could learn a lot about the healthcare system thru the services across the pond.

I hope you're not still driving for a living.

You don’t have the benefit of Doctor level pre-hospital care coming to the patient at the roadside. We do.
Plus she would be financially ruined.
I pass that about 28 year ago ,change my life badly
helicopters save lives :)
9:00 I know that woman was traumatised but she didn't want to thank any of the men involved in her rescue lol its like she only saw the women
40mph..... I don't think so.

40mph will easily leave that damage. I’ve seen ~30mph collisions just as bad.
@@Du5ty999 same ive seen 30mph collisions happened and trust me its not a sight to be seeing
40 mph and stopping almost immediately will leave that , gotta remember how heavy cars are and stopping almost immediately will wreck most smaller cars
How much slower can the paramedics walk when getting to her. Good thing she isn’t bleeding out!! Poor thing. Glad they helped her.
Hope she got a good insurance payout
why is UK firefighters so obsess wih the roof cutting ?

@@artspooner am just curiose.. becouse in Czech i see this realy rary. The roof cutting is only when the medics tell the patien needs to go now.
