Note to self: If I ever see paramedics running with all of their equipment offer them a ride.
Let the police do it tho 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💀💀💀
caljaysoc they’ll never be doing that in America that’s for sure.

I've seen taxis do that before. Nice to see the community work together!
man, u gotta give it to these first responders. they put their life on the line for others. lose sleep, miss time with their families. list goes on. these are superheroes.
Olive Dog AMEN!
thankyou; my name is john, flight and critical care medic- the medics on the ground are actually my heroes- they have to answer a tone not knowing if it4 is a "bogus 911" or life and death; all thru shift- here in US, I did a 48 hour shift-only medic in HUGE area- 21 REAL 911s in 48 hours- all survived, but it is taxing on the medics
I totally agree!
medics dont put their lives on the line in normal cases
My niece is an RN and I have definitely seen the sacrifices she has made for her profession, but she loves it.
I’m so relieved that the older lady has made it though and recovered...bless her she’s one tough cookie 🥰
Geez Louise, I broke 2 ribs falling down the stairs a couple years ago and I still whine about it. What an incredible woman...14 ribs!! I'm bowing to her!!
Deemaree Dubois I fell off my son's bed not long ago, probly bruised my ribs, and it hurt so bad, for so long. I feel like a whiney baby too. but it did hurt, can't deny that
Not 14.. it's 11 ... we have 12 in one side..but still it's more.
UK is tough we gonna have to drain her chest.
Who cares about you
11, but still...😢
Though semi retired now, what I do and when and where, means so much to me. Please support air ambulance charity in your area. We are a voluntary service. ....That older patient was one tough woman, bless her. ...This vid may be 6 years old, but is still valid today. Our training is what enables us, and I'd rather be out during bank holidays than sitting around at home. Thank you for your support. ❤
Thank you for doing what you do! I would love to hear some of your stories. The good and the bad. What's the worst thing you've ever seen. I couldn't do this because of seeing children dead. 16:06
Viviana is a tough woman. I would crying in pain. 20:48
Wish we could have them here in the USA; we either have to buy a "Subscription" or look at 40-100K bill
Man.....what a hard job those guys have. There is nothing but respect we must feel for these men and women.
Agree 👍
Sick of seeing comments saying ‘I’m glad I live in America they would do this or that or the other’. In America if you can’t afford treatment you die. The treatment in the uk is not only free it’s very very good. They save lives everyday. They don’t treat patients on a financial basis. I would much rather live in the UK than America!
😅😅😅😅😮😅😅
……same here! Our Medicare system works pretty well, especially the Public Hospitals’, thank goodness………🇦🇺
That old lady was TOUGH AF! DANG
Vivianna is one strong lady, she makes the rest of us look like wimps, God bless her...
I know, isn't she. Poor thing.
Jeez-louis, why don't the authorities make all driver's get professional training.?
If I sneeze wrong my job is at risk... I have to pass a physical and my license is checked frequently. People would be less likely to be so careless or irresponsible.....
Judy Kelley bless her 💞
Judy Kelley The rest of us? There are many out there, my niece for one, who are as strong...
May God be with her❤️
Poor granny. She's a trooper! Bless her heart!
The Dr. was so gentle and kind with her!!
I admire those doctors , high compassion level and so darn smart! I remember when my oldest daughter fall out of the window on a concrete...Doctors were putting her bones together without enough pain medication/ somewhat sedated; there were several staff on a top of her holding her body and her screaming as they were trying to put her broken arm bones together(she was only 8 and they needed so many people to hold her down...I was explained that it is ok; I was crying in a hallway as I heard her screaming when they were putting bones together ,I couldn't do anything about it as I was not allowed in her room. I do remember begging outside the room for her to have more pain medication. I really like how doctors in this show take care of the pain!!!
Yulia Orme : I’ve been around plenty of doctors who don’t treat pain properly. One of the worst experiences was having to assist during a bone marrow biopsy on a toddler. Poor baby was screaming for so long and I’m sure it wasn’t the first or last time it’s happened. I saw that a lot with adults but the toddler really sticks with me. I hated to see my daughter in the smaller amounts of pain kids go through normally so I definitely feel for you & your girl. The terrible thing is that there’s nothing we can do about these lousy doctors! And it’s only getting worse with the CDC guidelines for pain management.
Holy shit what country are these happening in. I’ve never seen something so horrific done to kids or adults without adequate pain treatment or a general anaesthetic
At my hospital we give morphine and ketimine to kinda sedate em dumb docs at that hospital 🤬
Man this is horrible! I had to have bones put back together too at 7 yo and they put me under general anesthesia to do it since I was so young... But kid or adult, I think we have enough efficient ways to control to not have someone scream at the top of their lungs in agony...
I broke my leg. They were going to aline my bones and I asked them to give me Versed,midazolam, so I might scream my head off, but I won't remember. They did and I woke up with my bone aligned and don't remember anything. I needed surgery about 50 miles away to another hospital. Woke up post surgery. Don't remember the ride to the hospital or being prepped for surgery.
Awww........that poor man who's mother got hit in her mobile scooter. I feel so bad for him.
@Dalestar 1979 I.ve never had broken ribs, but wow, i can only imagine. Im sure that chest tube is no picnic either. One thing I didn't care for was the Dr's attitude.He had her dead and buried. I think Dr's should be hopeful and speak more positive and state the facts also
Dalester1979.
Ginger Snaps he was ridiculous. Jesus Christ I dont want him as a doctor ever, I'll be cremated before I get diagnosed
He was being realistic to the camera, she was extremely lucky to have survived those injuries at her age!
She was one tough old cookie and while I hate to say it the dr was completely correct.Had she gone on a ventilator chances of her recovering would've been slim to none.I honestly was amazed that she lived as I knew of a healthy 30 year old that died from less.
26:45 ouch! The way in which the bone was sticking out. unbelievable
mrmario177ify I saw that and was all "aaa. oowwwcchhyyy poor guy"
It's a me Mario
Vivianna is tough as a box of rocks! I've had broken ribs from many years of football and motorcycle wrecks. They hurt badly. She is tougher than I am!
She really is. I once had a bad chest infection and coughed violently resulting in three broken ribs. It was bloody agony. For Viviana to be so stoical with eleven broken ribs and flail segment shows she's very tough. Respect.
Not only tougher than you but tougher than many of us! Doctor had serious doubts she would make it but she proved him wrong :)
I a few broken ribs right now it is no fun.
@@shanicemusicka765 Using the word "would" is correct (my apologies if English isn't your first language).
Skram Amme I can speak English quite well I’m only 10 years old
Props for not blurring out the injuries, that open fracture reduction was gnarly AF!
Omg I was NOT OKAY watching Viviana suffer like that, watching an elderly lady in so much pain just BROKE ME
Also, Andy with the broken leg has really pretty eyes!
I thought the same - beautiful blue eyes!!
I really feel for the son of the 88yo. My nana died @ 94, I was very close with her. It was like losing a best friend. It doesn’t matter how old someone is when they pass, they’re still going to be missed terribly.
I miss my Grandparents tremendously. I was very close with my Grandma as well. I hope we do get to see them again after this world.
@@JasonFlorida ❤️
I always get a giggle when a patient receives ketamine and their eyes get wide. It must be quite a trip - but thank heavens they use it.
Ann E - it’s not a nice feeling!!! I hallucinated one time that I had Xmas tress dancing across my hospital room (my surgery was Jan 14- so Xmas still in the air!!)..... and then chickens came in my room..... I’m a nurse so I knew of the possible side effects and I tried so hard not to “let” the hallucinating happen....but you have no control!!!
Which is an animal tranquilizer. Hard pass for me. I guess I feel so strongly about it as my (then) 4 week son was accidently given 30x the amount he should have been given....Dr realized mistake immediately, but still......
DD Was everything ok ?
My mother had it or another drug that caused hallucinations after a major surgery and trauma. My dad went to go visit her while she was hallucinating about tiny angry gnomes on the floor. She flipped out because she thought my dad was stepping on them and making them even angrier. She still tells us about it sometimes.
When my daughter was 5 she broke her elbow and was given a shot of ketamine. She asked me why there were so many dinosaurs without tails walking on the walls? When the nurse came back into the room to see if my daughter needed more medication for her pain, I said no I think she's good. Lol
Total admiration to all of these wonderful medics...x
Love this program. Finally real life.
A few years ago, I went to a hospital here in eastern Pennsylvania for an MRI. This hospital is also a trauma center. Upon leaving, I saw one life flight helicopter lifting off and another one landed right behind it. Talk about busy! Great job paramedics, nurses and doctors!!
Man, that poor Andy...I could almost feel that pain in his leg. And that poor old lady. My heart breaks for her being in so much pain. I can't even imagine. God Bless all first responders. 👩🚒👨🚒🚑🚔
So extremely happy over Vivianna making it through! Praise GOD!
I hope you're using "Praise GOD!" in a colloquial sense, because the surgical team and a long history of scientific experimentation and research went into saving her life. Also, she's 88, and will die soon enough. Please leave God out of this. (P.S. I am so happy to see that she recovered; what a beautiful person she appears to be. And how the son suffers for his mama, too).
@@Anthony-hu3rj What is wrong with Melissa bringing God into this? If she believes in God, like many of us including myself do, what is wrong with us expressing our freedom of religion and thanking Him for helping that surgical team act in the correct way to heal her? Jesus is the Ultimate Physician :)
@@nuclearmusic77 Jesus didn’t save her, the paramedics and medical staff did. Simple as that.
@@nuclearmusic77 Nothing wrong with it if you believe in God (I don't, he doesn't exist but that's another story), but it was the human medical professionals that saved Viviana. They are the ones that deserve the praise 🙌🏽
@@k_j_n1242 , Don't be a bigot. Your beliefs are your own and you need not impose them on Christians.
88 - "she is elderly" ^^ I think at 88 it's ok to just say she is old. Being old is nothing bad. At 88 she should be proud of being that old.
That's what elderly means
Nicosixth Robin also I think it’s more proper to say “elderly” than “old”
Thank God Vivianna made it through. I know a large percentage of older women that break bones die from blot clots after.
Oh that’s interesting I didn’t know that
okay this is a great show but OOF gotta skip all those "inner voice" bits
So true.
They are creepy!!
Are you kidding? It's HILLARIOUS
God keep on Blessing these people..when u're at ur lowest , " Cross Roads" a team of complete strangers show up , doing their very best to save ur life..I Salute u
I just discovered this channel. Vivian is a tough cookie! At 43 I wrecked my motorcycle and was seriously injured spent a week in a trauma unit far from home.
Anyone who dislikes imagine what it would be like as a patient its horrible isnt it you r showing no respect😟😟😟
Because they dislike the video doesn't mean they dislike the patients. Maybe they dislike the production, the music, etc.
My mom's boyfriend died after having a stroke last year.
He was only 54 years old, and he just started acting really weird that morning, spilling his soda all over himself and then taking off, on foot, until the police picked him up and brought him to the hospital.
By the time my mom figured out where he was, he was already on life support/oxygen, and had passed away within the next 72 hours or so it was extremely fast and extremely devastating.
How fast your life can change, all in a moment.
The improved audio balance starting with ep5 continues.
As someone who's been in 2 serious accidents one on a push bike other on an e bike I can say breaking even one rib is the most painfull thing 5 years after the last accident I still feels the pains
Stop Montaigne about the sound and be glad ur not one of these people who nearly died!
Darreth is awesome I wish we had more doctors like him here in Oz !
So happy to see that Vivianna is doing well
The patient that fell off a ladder while he was cutting trees had his bone snap through the skin and he was lucky enough that the doctor realigned the bone and he was taking to the hospital for surgery by ambulance.
My dad has just broken 4 ribs and punctured his lung falling down 14 stairs
is he now alright
Congrats
11 broken ribs & a flail segment I'm suprized she wasn't screaming in pain especially as it's significantly restricted breathing
In my experience, the older people get the more they want to survive. They want to get the most out of life and when they are in Viviana's situation, she will fight the good fight to get through it. But elderly people are quite vulnerable. They often can't survive the intervention. Its almost like their body chucks it in. I am 68 next week. I still have parenting to do. I am scared that something will happen to me that threatens that. My grandfather died just before I was born. My dad said it was a huge disappointment that he passed away.
Poor granny looks like a burrito wrapped in aluminum foil.
I have learned over the course of my life (18 years). Just never ride a motorcycle.
Also if I see trauma doctors running down the street, get out of their way.
Bibiana is so strong! You can see she's lived an interesting life.
"My gut feeling is we need to get him to a hospital quickly." Oh no, I didn't think the man yelling and pain in his own pool of blood had go to the hospital.
Vivianna you were amazing, I just wanted to give you a big hug and comfort you. Poor lady.
What an incredible woman Vivianna is. And her family caring for her. Puts the whingers with a broken toenail to shame !!
Poor grandma
My daughter received Ketamine because she broke her femur and the bone was sticking out of her leg. She said she hated it and it gave her horrible hallucinations.
If I had to choose between horrible hallucinations or the most extreme pain one can encounter Id rather choose ketamine.
In the US they dont give a person anything besides morphine to set a fracture like this mans. Nothing! They could learn a lesson from these medics. You need to give an anesthetic agent while setting and realigning a fracture but they dont give it in the US. These medics did a wonderful job of keeping the man comfortable and safe. I understand there are risks in using anesthetic agents but there is also a risk in not using them.
sorry bud, gotta throw the BS flag. It depends on where you are a medic. I carry morphine, dilaudid, fentanyl, versed, valium & ativan. I don't believe in unnecessary pain. Sorry you had a bad experience or whatever, but don't blame us all.
there are special considerations for ketamine and it can have some nasty side effects
I'm pretty sure Ketamine isn't used in the US
Kristie Taulton it is an illegal drug and is only allowed for medical use in the UK so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't used in the US
When my best friend broke her arm/elbow and they had to set it, they knocked her out. I have no idea what they used but she was out like a light
Whoa! That video needs a dire warning! People who can't see blood are fainting left and right here!
They don't give you no pain killers here when your in a accident. You have to wait and wait while your passing out- crying,groaning- you have to wait until diagnosed.
Rumble101 In England?
@@emilyandre3451 I don't know about England, but in America they don't. Not any at all until you're in the ER and AFTER they have done xrays, etc. It can be very, very excruciating.
@@emilyandre3451 no in England they give pain killers
You can do without the eerie music while a medical person is "thinking". YIKES!
I have learned so much by paying attention to your program. Thank you. Vancouver, WA.
That young man is lucky . I feel so bad for grandma she is very tough and lucky to make that fall off of her motorized scooter .
I used to know a George Sikorsky who was Igor Sikorsky's son. Igor Sikorsky was the inventor of the helicopter.
11 ribs fractured that's gotta hurt
She should be put on life support to support her breathing while they assist her recovery😓❤️
Years ago, I saw a sign on the wall just outside the entrance of a neurological intensive care unit that read - "if you want to visit a relative here, buy them a motorcycle".
Unbelievable 88 year old survived that accident.
geez someone should have picked them up since they landed so far away from the scene
Love your people and be happy for all the blessings in life you never know what or when something happens to change things.
I’m only now realising this is by my house looool
Those helicopter EMS units are badass.
the doctor's are our hero's ❤❤❤💪👌
They should always send a police car to pick up the team!
The guy that broke the bone through the skin looks so much like an older version of Rick Gervais!
He does too lol
🤔at Marker 14 he says roll her onto her left side…..then promptly rolls her onto her right side……..🤔🤔🤔
You’d think the police would go pick the helicopter doctor! It’s not like they can’t see the helicopter land.
Interesting show. These people are amazing heroes!
But for heavens sake, quit the extreme close ups of the drs with the mysterious music… it’s very annoying and actually distracting. 🙂
I thought the conultant in the blue shirt explaining bells palsy to the old lady was wearing a yamika turns out its just a CRAZY hairdoo lmao
43:19 Scratch that itch!
Sometimes the background music is too loud and I can’t hear the commentary.
That poor woman with the multiple rib fractures and flail segment. They (the hospital/MD's) were considering just 'letting her go" when her condition was TOTALLY treatable/ manageable with intubation, mechanical ventilation and or a high Epidural block for the rib/ chest wall pain. Geez, at least give her a chance instead of just writing her off as she is elderly.
Andrew Veitch I think they were just relaying the probable outcome. Apparently they gave her excellent care!
I had a tracheotomy when I was 32 and weaning from it was HARD. Cannot imagine doing that at 88. What happens is they take it off for a short time but you get tired from breathing on your own so they put the vent back on. Having air forced into your lungs again is very painful. This goes on for a period of days because they go a little longer each time. I remember just wanting to keep it on to avoid all that, it was terrible. Glad she made it though. I want expecting she would...
Nobody mentioned letting her go. He was expressing his concern for her.
@Andrew Veitch - managing expectations is different to writing her off. Much better to lower expectations and have a good outcome then give false hope before a subsequent poor outcome.
Also she most likely would not come off a ventilator had they gone down that route which is exactly what he explained.
Also she was taken to HDU which is one step down from ITU (ICU) which are expensive beds per night and limited in number so I don’t think that’s being written off, the determine just tried to determine what is the best treatment for her best interest.
My gut feeling is she needs to get to hospital quick....well duh!
I call that thinking out loud. Those obvious thoughts that go thru your head faster then when you say them out loud.
I'm a paramedic in Colorado, I wonder how you treat the pain for a person on methadone treatmen? We have a hard time managing the pain but you have ketamine that works on a slightly different receptors along side the opiate receptors, we can only give midozelam and or Roc along with 150+ fentenil, 99% OC the time a MMT patient won't have any affect from the fentenil due to a very high opiate tolerance, I. My world over sedation is a concern so my hands are tied, heck I could give a MMT patient all the opiates in the truck and still it wouldn't be the amount they take every day so that's my dilemma, hope we get ketamine soon.
I'm a paramedic in San Francisco, CA myself... so I can definitely relate to this. My department doesn't have that either, so we can only manage the pain in the ambulance so much until they get to the hospital where a substance like ketamine is more accessible. Hopefully it'll become accessible on the ambulance sometime so we can better help patients with pain management while in transport
It's quite rare in England for your average paramedic to be able to administer ketamine. A doctor is often present. For opiate resistant patients you could provide analgesia with nitrous oxide or methoxyfluarane if you have access to those... Does your clinical director not put out guidelines for acute pain management for patients on methadone treatment?
Micah276 I see thanks brother, stay safe
TAVOR VICEROY VALDOR , thanks! You too
TAVOR VICEROY VALDOR here in nz the (sympathetic) doctors (in coordination with CADS - the MMT programme here) will carefully titrate the dosage of opioid agonists over their methadone and monitor for CNS depression. naloxone if theres overdose. other doctors wont offer pain relief at all for MMT patients
. as you would be aware their usual maintence dose does not provide analgesia and these patients are often denied analgesia and the under treatment of their pain is common.
ketamine and fentanyl are used here also.
The music in the series is absolutely awful!!!!!
I absolutely love it.
I guess really, it's all about perspective...
GOD always with us, thanks for the surgeons !
Iv seen a few accidents here with motor scootets.They are dangerous if you cant drive a car or motor bike you should not be driving a scooter.The trouble is the older people think they have right of way??i saw one old dear argue with a tram...who could not move.
My guess is that it would have been a disability scooter.
Many people are quite safe to operate them who are no longer eligible to hold a driving licence.
Kaos Krew That type of scooter is lower to the ground and I think all might 4/wheels.
Great episode, wrong description
That little lady is my hero.
Omg they put in a chest tube without sedation or freezing! That poor woman.
I watched a few of these maybe a year or longer and when it said investigators they were people that was checking to see who was at fault.
I hope they charge the damn driver who hit the poor 80+ year old woman. They deserve jail time.
Jail time?
Are you completely aware of ALL the circumstances surrounding the incident?
What if the driver of the vehicle swerved to avoid a small child which ran out into the road?
These things happen for all kinds of reasons - until you are aware of the facts, might be better to leave the charging and convicting to those in the know? ;)
Sadly unless it was caught on cctv or independent witnesses it’s highly unlikely.
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you Bell’s palsy Bell’s palsy
I had one broken rib and could barely handle it, I can’t imagine 11
play on 1.25x speed, much more bearable
Omg what a tough woman
Drive safely everyone.
EXPRESS TRUE PAIN TO PROFESSIONAL. YES! ANKLE!
88 and strong as they come….❤❤❤
Wow , Vivian is one strong woman
Ketamine? Where do I sign up??
IKR?
Erin Maurer u don’t need to sign up... u need to be in A LOT of pain and have been in a terrible accident..... not really worth it in my opinion
It gets used as party drug in the UK.
They need new episodes. Why the fuck doesnt a car meet them where they land instead of exhausting them making them run a half mile? (These flash back thoughts are annoying)
Just trying to help the I’ll informed, informed to medical thoughts & procedures !
Praise God that she is ok. God is good
Gawd, the woman keeps calling out "Andy"!! He is zonked!!! Irene is beautiful!!!
Here in the US they land on the road or a field and the ambulance will meet the helicopter.
everywhere normally but where I come from, when u see an Airmed Crew running up the street while u are in ur car, u fucking drive them, no other option. 🤷🏽♂️🤙🏽
i broke two rings decorating and it killed I thought I would never breathe again, I couldn't cough or sneeze and she will have to to clear her chest, but I did have many broken ribs after dying 7 times and the using a defib on me and I got a chest infection I was only 49 then and I was in hospital 4 months learning to walk again, I heard my ribs crack while decorating and I remembered the pain from when I was 49 I am 66 now so an older body takes longer to heal
I so happy for Viviana. She should haven't to go through all of that at her age. She's been through so much already.
Ouch
That must of hurt for Jacob
I hit by a car broke 8 Ribs. Mush really! Pretty harsh
You sure Andy isn’t Ricky Gervais?
