This video sadly highlights the importance of driving safely and carefully on country roads.

Yeah I live in Victoria and have been on the a300 multiple times. It’s scary to think what could happen if you crash head on with another vehicle going that fast.

"at combined speeds often in excess of 200km/h (124mp/h)" It is so easy to blame the speed, but the driving speed is not the cause of serious crashes. It is the way HOW people are driving. (Or in another words "driving speed" is not the "impact speed"). From Germany I know that the vast majority of people, the quicker they are driving, the more carefully they do so.

thats one of the things that puts me off about getting a motorbike license. You could be the most careful rider out there but all it takes is the mistake and carelessness of another person and it can change / end your life.
The bar is definitely much higher with motorbikes. Everyone has to start with a CBT which restricts your power rating and other things like carrying passengers or using motorways. But you can actually jump straight from CBT to a full A licence without doing A2 and A1 first... except from what I'm told the motorbike tests are harder than in a car. I've held a CBT before and found that the power rating was plenty to just pootle about town and do short runs - even if motorways and passengers were allowed, I don't think I'd want to on a 125. However, anyone can pass their car test at 17 and immediately do whatever they want in almost whatever vehicle they like. You can turn up at the test centre in your instructor's Ford Focus, pass your test, and immediately head on to the motorway in your Ferrari without any further training legally required. That's totally legal so long as you're insured. Those poor lads who died in Wales just before Christmas. Four young lads piled into a pocket rocket EcoBoost Fiesta with its really fun sporty handling, with a newly-qualified and inexperienced driver, on unfamiliar winding Welsh backroads in poor weather. With a tragic outcome.

Recent clinical evidence based practice papers show that cervical immobilisation collars are extremely difficult to put on the right way with a conscious patient, and when put on incorrectly it could cause more catastrophic damage. Here in NSW Australia, paramedics usually go for soft collars and hard collars are being phased out for manual immobilisation or head blocks. The advantage of road BASICS/HEMS doctors is they can give a preliminary clearance of a suspected spinal trauma patient and prevent the use of collars when not needed. This is particularly good here as the rule is only critical care paramedics or doctors can make the decision to remove c-spine precautions once started, so if i were to start c-spine procedures, we'd be stuck doing it all the way to the hospital even if we rule it out!

Fun fact: In the UK the most morphine you can get is 20mg IV. If you are tolerant to the morphine like if you are a chronic pain patient this will not be enough. Ketamine is also used but a lot of people have bad reactions to it. I'm allergic to it. Someone needs to get paramedics to carry other stronger pain medications like fentanyl and hydromorphone.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder Try but 99% of the time they just aren't there. I ran into an issue when I broke my femur and they maxed the morphine dose they had to call radio a doctor to ask if they could administer more. I ended up just self administering 40mg oxycodone oral (High I know, but I needed to be moved a long way). I feel like the max morphine dose should be unlimited and judgement based. They all carry naloxone.
Australian paramedic here; we give a maximum of 20mg IV on patients under 70, but critical care paramedics don't have a maximum when treating for significant pain with autonomic dysreflexia, as with fentanyl given NAS or IM. Base level paramedics can provide up to 200mg NAS or IM Fentanyl. Naturally much lower doses apply when administering to paediatrics and different state ambulance services may have varying drug therapy protocols.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder Why don't they allow base level paramedics to administer it? in most if not all Australian states, Fentanyl can be prescribed to adults and paeds by base level paramedics.
@@coover65 So I assume you mean 200 micrograms which for me wouldn't even be close. I don't abuse drugs, I am prescribed a high dose of oxycodone from my doctor and pain team to treat a very complex injury of my brachial plexus that causes bouts of acute pain. I want to campaign for a "tolerant patient dose" for all drugs that can cause tolerance. Diazepam, lorazepam and all the opioids. I think it's a hidden problem as so many of our citizens are on opioids for genuine pain. I studied a bit of pharmacology so know enough (I know rather a lot but not an expert) to know that just because you're on a daily dose of pain meds for one injury a new injury requires additional analgesia, especially if it's particularly acute. So that limit is quite frankly, torture. Not to mention IV morphine is pretty useless against most pain. IV oxycodone or hydromorphone are FAR more effective for broken bones.
What happened to the driver from the vehicle that was upside down? I sure hope he survived. I'm still amazed at how narrow the roads can be in the UK. When I was there in 1978 and driving, at times it was quite nerve racking. Still I loved it there. Loved how happy the dog was to be back on the motorcycle. He should be wearing goggles. 🇨🇦
There is no such thing as 'the wrong side of the road' as you can use all the width at any time when safe where road markings do not show otherwise which in this case it did not (unless in Scotland due to a major police RTC) but without good reason the very far offside part of the road is a very dangerous place to be.
I was expecting a "sports" car but quickly realised they meant a combined speed of 100mph. Eg both doing 50mph or 60 and 40 etc. I guess 100mph crash is more attractive.
The problem is, that being put to sleep comes with many risks some of them very serious risks. So, as horrible as being in pain is, it's better to stay in pain, than to have the risks of being put to sleep when it's not medically needed (medical needs would be like if they have a serious head injury, or if the patient isn't able to breathe on their own) There is something called conscious sedation though, which is a much better option. It means the patient isn't fully asleep, but they have enough medication on board that they probably won't remember anything, and are too drugged to care about anything! Medications like ketamine are usually used for this. Unfortunately, it can be tricky to do at the roadside though, as it needs a lot of monitoring and careful consideration, as it's easy to overdose and end up with the patient stopping breathing etc or having other problems. So generally it's only done with certain higher trained paramedics, or actual doctors like the ones who fly with the air ambulance. It's not something that is commonly or easily done just in a regular ambulance
@@unknownentity7964 To add to that, if I remember correctly, patients have to be kept conscious so that their state can be monitored. An asleep patient won't be able to respond to the paramedics and won't be able to comment if they feel anything change
I've great respect for the motorcyclist. To have recovered and has got back out on the road with his doggy. It does take you a while to get your mind frame to where you want to get back on the motorcycle. I know I was hit by a car while on my Harley Motorcycle near Galway the West of Ireland. The person that hit me said it was an act of God. Like lighting striking a tree. Yeh right. Paramedics were brilliant & got me to hospital straight away. It took me well over a year & half to be able to walk again. As soon as I could walk the first thing I did was to get back on a motorcycle. I've seen a few fatalities of people I knew killed off their motorcycles.
@Nickadian the confusion is impact absorption, that's all. One car into a solid immovable object at 100mph has less energy absorbing capability than two cars, but kinetic energy is kinetic energy.
Shattered pelvis, broken spine (2 places). 11 broken ribs (8 were flail fractures), broken wrist and arm, punctured lung, ruptured bladder, internal bleeding, 7 days coma, 8 weeks HDU, another 8 weeks in bed. Then several months in a wheelchair. It certainly felt like 100mph+ to me mate. (Mike Shepherdson).
It was previously shown on mainstream TV as part of a documentary series on the work of the emergency services. Consent is required and given by all parties
@@NotaFro that is not true. look up mythbusters episode on this. "Although the two-car crash doubles the speed, the energy the crash is transferred to twice the mass resulting in a crash that looks like just one car hitting a wall at 50 mph."
2 cars traveling 50 and hitting comes out to a 100 mph crash for both because you combine the energy 50+50 and stop thag combined energy at the same time you have a speed of 100 mph
@@mickmack2001 hi there im really glad you and your dog have recovered. Im hoping you may be able to shed some light as I am thoroughly confused right now. This is clearly a remote and not busy stretch of fairly straight road. How on absolute earth was it possible for 2 cars to have a head on and also manage to hit the only other vehical within kooee all at the same time? It seems the title of the video is a little exaggerated as surely if this had occurred at 100mph all of you including Olive would be dead? Also how was it possible you took the brunt of the impact of all 3 involved, did olive just get ejected to somewhat safety?
@@bree-arnaharris2437 There is a blind bend in a dip in the road. The white Fiat overtook me and the car behind me on the blind bend. The black car with the young couple were coming the other way and swerved to avoid the Fiat on their side of the road, unfortunately straight into me. The car behind me described my speed as being 55 mph. The car coming the other way was apparently doing 60 mph, in a head on crash this equates to a collision speed of 115 mph. It is my belief that Olive only survived because the front of the sidecar was full of down sleeping bags that cushioned the impact for her.
No he did not. The camera was mounted onto his helmet, which is perfectly legal and very common among motorcyclists. They use the cameras to record in case of a potential accident, like dash-cams in cars. The motorcyclist did nothing illegal by recording using a helmet camera. As long as the camera isn't in your hands, it's legal.
I feel that the person who caused it, driving over 100 mph, they should be the last to go to the hospital . Im sorry I feel that way but they could have killed everyone
Probably the mx5 that caused the crash, would have been the most likely to be on the wrong side and definitely going quicker than the fiat and the bike with a dog in the side car…
@@mickmack2001Thanks for confirming. Hope your recovery is continuing. It’s never ceases to shock me how you can be driving along as safely as possible and out the blue the actions of some idiot can turn your life on its head, or even end it altogether.
People bitch and moan about getting tickets, but if we didn’t ticket people and hold them accountable- this would be an hourly event. You can’t just do what you like when you’re driving a weapon.
The "Golden Hour" ideology has changed over the decades. British paramedics and medical teams look as they have a similar skillset to us in Australia. It used to be that you did the "scoop and shoot", "load and go" with multi system trauma. Nowadays with better training and drugs, you bring the Emergency Department to the hospital. Paramedics here administer the likes of O neg blood and extended life plasma, and you perform an ultrasound on MST patients on scene for a better understanding of injuries sustained. Naturally all time spent on scene must be value added, and quickly identify patients with transport critical injuries. Even with 30 minutes on scene and a 25-minute flight you'll still have them at a trauma hospital within that "golden hour". Some rural US communities have to contend with volunteer or BLS trained crews who don't have the training or drugs used by Brits, Australians and urban Americans. For them getting a patient to a paramedic crewed helicopter or a trauma hospital within that hour can be critical.
Rushing people away from the scene is more the American way. In the UK patients are stabilised as much as possible before they're transported. If the doctor and critical care paramedics have to perform a roadside thoracostomy or open heart surgery to keep you alive then they will do that. There was a reported case of open heart surgery being performed in the street on a stab victim in 2019, this victim survived because of the on scene care he was given.
@@azzifyy5988 There's a doctor who's the ambulance medical director in one Australian state in particular. A few years ago, now he spent a few months on the London HEMS and was extremely impressed with what he saw and learnt. On his return to Australia, he developed a training program with the help of some of our best surgeons. That intense training program was the basis for our High Acuity Paramedics to be able to perform roadside procedures unheard of before in this country, such as on-scene plasma infusions and limb amputations I've seen that MD perform a similar procedure on a patient with similar injuries here (he actually took over management of our patient, so I got to see it while doing IPPB on the patient). Incredible to watch. Australians and Brits have learnt so much from each other in the world of paramedicine over the years. An Aussie going to work on UK ambulances is almost a rite of passage, and I've worked with some great British paramedics who came here searching for sunshine, surf and sharks. What is quite different is that our ambulance helicopters have winching capabilities, which I don't think UK ones have (happy to be corrected). While Australian and British ambulance treatment is fairly standard nationwide, the same can't be said for American EMS. They have the very best in some areas and BLS volunteer services with limited training in small, regional communities.
30 seconds to decide where and who to take where compared to everyone going to the same place with no coordination and now waiting god knows how long for enough staff to help everybody. I’d pick the 30 seconds to coordinate
Yeh what's your point, it's something important to clarify and discuss, different hospitals specialise in different things you want to go to the best one for the patient while also balancing the distance to the hospital. Plus as they said they can't all go to the same hospital.
@@GrayVario I'd rather be at a random hospital and get the best treatment for specific injuries than worry where i was. Faster I got medical treatment faster I could focus on my overall recovery. But not all people would agree and that's just my personal opinion.and choice

Oh man I feel terrible for the poor innocent motorcyclist and the dog 😞
What's the speed limit?
Most likely 60 mph
Fun fact: In the UK the most morphine you can get is 20mg IV. If you are tolerant to the morphine like if you are a chronic pain patient this will not be enough. Ketamine is also used but a lot of people have bad reactions to it. I'm allergic to it. Someone needs to get paramedics to carry other stronger pain medications like fentanyl and hydromorphone.
Fentanyl is an option in the UK, provided by HEMS/BASICS Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder Try but 99% of the time they just aren't there. I ran into an issue when I broke my femur and they maxed the morphine dose they had to call radio a doctor to ask if they could administer more. I ended up just self administering 40mg oxycodone oral (High I know, but I needed to be moved a long way). I feel like the max morphine dose should be unlimited and judgement based. They all carry naloxone.
Australian paramedic here; we give a maximum of 20mg IV on patients under 70, but critical care paramedics don't have a maximum when treating for significant pain with autonomic dysreflexia, as with fentanyl given NAS or IM. Base level paramedics can provide up to 200mg NAS or IM Fentanyl. Naturally much lower doses apply when administering to paediatrics and different state ambulance services may have varying drug therapy protocols.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder Why don't they allow base level paramedics to administer it? in most if not all Australian states, Fentanyl can be prescribed to adults and paeds by base level paramedics.
@@coover65 So I assume you mean 200 micrograms which for me wouldn't even be close. I don't abuse drugs, I am prescribed a high dose of oxycodone from my doctor and pain team to treat a very complex injury of my brachial plexus that causes bouts of acute pain.
I want to campaign for a "tolerant patient dose" for all drugs that can cause tolerance. Diazepam, lorazepam and all the opioids. I think it's a hidden problem as so many of our citizens are on opioids for genuine pain.
I studied a bit of pharmacology so know enough (I know rather a lot but not an expert) to know that just because you're on a daily dose of pain meds for one injury a new injury requires additional analgesia, especially if it's particularly acute. So that limit is quite frankly, torture. Not to mention IV morphine is pretty useless against most pain. IV oxycodone or hydromorphone are FAR more effective for broken bones.
I pray they all are ok
I’m sure that will really help😊
They all made it out fine right?
What happened to the driver from the vehicle that was upside down? I sure hope he survived. I'm still amazed at how narrow the roads can be in the UK. When I was there in 1978 and driving, at times it was quite nerve racking. Still I loved it there. Loved how happy the dog was to be back on the motorcycle. He should be wearing goggles. 🇨🇦
The rider of the motorbike said that the photo was old, and neither he nor his dog had ever got back on a motorcycle since that awful accident.
There is no such thing as 'the wrong side of the road' as you can use all the width at any time when safe where road markings do not show otherwise which in this case it did not (unless in Scotland due to a major police RTC) but without good reason the very far offside part of the road is a very dangerous place to be.
Never heard about the driver who crawled out of the other car at the end.
7:21 whos that guy now?
Usually the least injured are responsible for the crash.
Be lucky to do 100mph in a Fiat 500 I’ve got one lol. Hope they are all okay and Olive bless her!
I was expecting a "sports" car but quickly realised they meant a combined speed of 100mph. Eg both doing 50mph or 60 and 40 etc.
I guess 100mph crash is more attractive.
I was doing 55mph on the bike, the MX5 was doing over 60mph. Combined speed 115mph at impact. I am a very lucky man. Thankfully Olive was unhurt.
@@mickmack2001 so glad you are both okay 😊
@@sarahfrith1984 Thanks Sarah.
@@mickmack2001 so glad u and your dog is okay 😊
as soon as they showed the dog i had to pause the video i felt so sad
Poor dog he knows something is going on..! 😱😢
Amazing 🍁 🙏🇨🇦
Poor guy (and his dog) on the bike might have been better to put him to sleep temporarily due to the pain, on the way to the hospital.
The problem is, that being put to sleep comes with many risks some of them very serious risks. So, as horrible as being in pain is, it's better to stay in pain, than to have the risks of being put to sleep when it's not medically needed (medical needs would be like if they have a serious head injury, or if the patient isn't able to breathe on their own)
There is something called conscious sedation though, which is a much better option. It means the patient isn't fully asleep, but they have enough medication on board that they probably won't remember anything, and are too drugged to care about anything! Medications like ketamine are usually used for this. Unfortunately, it can be tricky to do at the roadside though, as it needs a lot of monitoring and careful consideration, as it's easy to overdose and end up with the patient stopping breathing etc or having other problems. So generally it's only done with certain higher trained paramedics, or actual doctors like the ones who fly with the air ambulance. It's not something that is commonly or easily done just in a regular ambulance
@@unknownentity7964 oh I know there are risks, but I hate seeing people in that amount of pain. I couldn’t do that job because of that aspect alone.
@@unknownentity7964 To add to that, if I remember correctly, patients have to be kept conscious so that their state can be monitored. An asleep patient won't be able to respond to the paramedics and won't be able to comment if they feel anything change
I've great respect for the motorcyclist. To have recovered and has got back out on the road with his doggy. It does take you a while to get your mind frame to where you want to get back on the motorcycle. I know I was hit by a car while on my Harley Motorcycle near Galway the West of Ireland. The person that hit me said it was an act of God. Like lighting striking a tree. Yeh right. Paramedics were brilliant & got me to hospital straight away. It took me well over a year & half to be able to walk again. As soon as I could walk the first thing I did was to get back on a motorcycle. I've seen a few fatalities of people I knew killed off their motorcycles.
The motorcyclist says that the photo is old and that neither he nor his dog have been back on a motorbike. His comment is from 2 months ago.
Air heroes..!🚁
One thing I wonder is why they didn't put a cervical collar on the patient
Thats great that he's in paint
Combined speed is not realistic, if both vehicles are doing 50 mph then each vehicle is stopping dead from 50 mph .
Just curious... why don't they put collars on patients immediately when knowing they may have neck and back injuries???
What happened to the Fiat owner?
He is being charged with 3 counts of causing serious injury by way of Dangerous driving.
@@mickmack2001 should have their license revoked too
The mazda mx5 with the bmw M batch hahaha why someone do this wtf
Combined speed means nothing. 2 cars driving 50km an hour dont equal 100km impact
Except it does. Newton explained this some time ago.
@@steviesteve750 Physics says otherwise lol
@Nickadian the confusion is impact absorption, that's all. One car into a solid immovable object at 100mph has less energy absorbing capability than two cars, but kinetic energy is kinetic energy.
Shattered pelvis, broken spine (2 places). 11 broken ribs (8 were flail fractures), broken wrist and arm, punctured lung, ruptured bladder, internal bleeding, 7 days coma, 8 weeks HDU, another 8 weeks in bed. Then several months in a wheelchair. It certainly felt like 100mph+ to me mate. (Mike Shepherdson).
And these are the people some other people think don't deserve better pay and conditions , SHAME ON some other people
I'm surprised at how the dog survived...What an amazing creature...He literally Aikido's his way out.
How is it allowed to film something like this and put it online?
If you do this here in germany .......
🤕😱
It was previously shown on mainstream TV as part of a documentary series on the work of the emergency services. Consent is required and given by all parties
Why the clickbait title? Combined speed is not the impact speed…
I dont feel good seeing this but this has to be shown to all kinds of people. Paramedics, docs police should paid arcondingly.
I’m stunned that the motorcyclist isn’t in a cervical collar…
Why would the motorcyclist need a cervical collar?
Gemma was a HART paramedic
Wow what a bad driver I hope this man was charged. Of course he's the least injured .
I Hope Is All right😓
Who's fault is it?
Bastard was being wreckless.
combined speed? so 2 times 50 mph? clic bate
Poor dog
Ah, so it was a 50MPH crash, not a 100MPH crash.
2 cars, both going at 50mph, hitting head on is equivalent to 1 car hitting something stationary at 100mph
@@NotaFro Not precisely but approximately.
@@NotaFro that is not true. look up mythbusters episode on this.
"Although the two-car crash doubles the speed, the energy the crash is transferred to twice the mass resulting in a crash that looks like just one car hitting a wall at 50 mph."
@@resnonverba137 not true. its 50MPH. if the impact was at 100mph everything would literally be a pancake.
2 cars traveling 50 and hitting comes out to a 100 mph crash for both because you combine the energy 50+50 and stop thag combined energy at the same time you have a speed of 100 mph
He’s 23 but his girlfriend is 15?
6:21 she’s 23
Why the hell do they need to go 100 mph
No one was going 100 mph.
The closing speed was 100mph, each car was doing approx 50mph
Is this a practice scene or is it real? Why dont they say that? It looks really realistic....
It’s real
It was actually at the scene. I was driving the bike with Olive in the sidecar.
@@mickmack2001 hi there im really glad you and your dog have recovered. Im hoping you may be able to shed some light as I am thoroughly confused right now.
This is clearly a remote and not busy stretch of fairly straight road. How on absolute earth was it possible for 2 cars to have a head on and also manage to hit the only other vehical within kooee all at the same time? It seems the title of the video is a little exaggerated as surely if this had occurred at 100mph all of you including Olive would be dead? Also how was it possible you took the brunt of the impact of all 3 involved, did olive just get ejected to somewhat safety?
@@bree-arnaharris2437 There is a blind bend in a dip in the road. The white Fiat overtook me and the car behind me on the blind bend. The black car with the young couple were coming the other way and swerved to avoid the Fiat on their side of the road, unfortunately straight into me. The car behind me described my speed as being 55 mph. The car coming the other way was apparently doing 60 mph, in a head on crash this equates to a collision speed of 115 mph. It is my belief that Olive only survived because the front of the sidecar was full of down sleeping bags that cushioned the impact for her.
I'm so glad he was wearing his gear, without it he'd be dead
Stupidity causes this.
Sad
Guy just incriminated himself filming his dog whilst driving lol
No he did not. The camera was mounted onto his helmet, which is perfectly legal and very common among motorcyclists. They use the cameras to record in case of a potential accident, like dash-cams in cars. The motorcyclist did nothing illegal by recording using a helmet camera. As long as the camera isn't in your hands, it's legal.
I feel that the person who caused it, driving over 100 mph, they should be the last to go to the hospital .
Im sorry I feel that way but they could have killed everyone
Just to clarify, “combined speed of over 100mph” doesn’t mean 1 vehicle was doing over 100, could have been each where doing 50 etc. 😀
Probably the mx5 that caused the crash, would have been the most likely to be on the wrong side and definitely going quicker than the fiat and the bike with a dog in the side car…
White Fiat overtook me (Bike and sidecar) on a blind corner. MX5 was coming the other way, swerved to avoid Fiat and hit me head on.
Exactly my thoughts, until Mick (the motorcycle rider) confirmed it was the white Fiat.
@@mickmack2001Thanks for confirming. Hope your recovery is continuing. It’s never ceases to shock me how you can be driving along as safely as possible and out the blue the actions of some idiot can turn your life on its head, or even end it altogether.
People bitch and moan about getting tickets, but if we didn’t ticket people and hold them accountable- this would be an hourly event. You can’t just do what you like when you’re driving a weapon.
How did any of them survive if they were going 100 miles an hour how do they survive?
its the combined speed mate, so they could've been doing like 50mph each towards each other
50 each way, if each one was doing 100 their bodies wouldn’t be recognisable
the presenters are stupid and are labeling this crash as 100mph. but in fact it is a 50mph crash... combined speed means jack shit.
@@biziluxgames8924 Means everything to paramedics when assessing injuries caused by a huge amount of displaced kinetic energy.
100 mph collision. Someone was driving far too fast.
or they were both going 50
Listen to the upload properly.
its 50mph collision. the presenters are just fucking stupid and are merging both as if it was 100mph. but its 50mph
@@barneyneal9026 yes and that makes it a 50mph collision. not a 100 as they are presenting
@@biziluxgames8924 no it’s a 100mph combined speed of both cars
Way to much on scene time load both birds and go already with most critical patients what about the golden hour
Shame you weren't there to tell them how to do it properly 🙄
That’s what ambulance crews used to do scoop and run. Much better survival rates stabilising at scene first.
The "Golden Hour" ideology has changed over the decades. British paramedics and medical teams look as they have a similar skillset to us in Australia. It used to be that you did the "scoop and shoot", "load and go" with multi system trauma. Nowadays with better training and drugs, you bring the Emergency Department to the hospital. Paramedics here administer the likes of O neg blood and extended life plasma, and you perform an ultrasound on MST patients on scene for a better understanding of injuries sustained. Naturally all time spent on scene must be value added, and quickly identify patients with transport critical injuries. Even with 30 minutes on scene and a 25-minute flight you'll still have them at a trauma hospital within that "golden hour". Some rural US communities have to contend with volunteer or BLS trained crews who don't have the training or drugs used by Brits, Australians and urban Americans. For them getting a patient to a paramedic crewed helicopter or a trauma hospital within that hour can be critical.
Rushing people away from the scene is more the American way. In the UK patients are stabilised as much as possible before they're transported. If the doctor and critical care paramedics have to perform a roadside thoracostomy or open heart surgery to keep you alive then they will do that. There was a reported case of open heart surgery being performed in the street on a stab victim in 2019, this victim survived because of the on scene care he was given.
@@azzifyy5988 There's a doctor who's the ambulance medical director in one Australian state in particular. A few years ago, now he spent a few months on the London HEMS and was extremely impressed with what he saw and learnt. On his return to Australia, he developed a training program with the help of some of our best surgeons. That intense training program was the basis for our High Acuity Paramedics to be able to perform roadside procedures unheard of before in this country, such as on-scene plasma infusions and limb amputations I've seen that MD perform a similar procedure on a patient with similar injuries here (he actually took over management of our patient, so I got to see it while doing IPPB on the patient). Incredible to watch. Australians and Brits have learnt so much from each other in the world of paramedicine over the years. An Aussie going to work on UK ambulances is almost a rite of passage, and I've worked with some great British paramedics who came here searching for sunshine, surf and sharks. What is quite different is that our ambulance helicopters have winching capabilities, which I don't think UK ones have (happy to be corrected). While Australian and British ambulance treatment is fairly standard nationwide, the same can't be said for American EMS. They have the very best in some areas and BLS volunteer services with limited training in small, regional communities.
This will of been caused by one idiot thinking he's an f1 driver
students weed and happiness , beach beach sand ,
Bet it was the fault of the lad & girlfriend
According to the bikers it was the fiet. He tried to over on a blind corner what caused the xm5 to swerve unfortunately hitting the bike.
why did he ride with his dog?? that's stupid😏
Were they advertising the one medical person is gay or is that his name
Don't they use any neck collars that's the first thing you should have put on that biker
Incorrect new evidence is showing C collars are bad as they force the neck to stay on a position.
No. They are being used less and less. Studies show it can impact airway too much and cause more movement to the spine, making injuries worse.
Police have no legal rights to hold dog either
God we don’t deserve dogs ❤️
This is why you buy a Subaru.
I know that they still can’t save you in a crash, but they can still do better than what ever those car did in the collision.
Good grief. Patients are seriously injured and paramedics waste discussing what hospital to take them to!
30 seconds to decide where and who to take where compared to everyone going to the same place with no coordination and now waiting god knows how long for enough staff to help everybody. I’d pick the 30 seconds to coordinate
Yeh what's your point, it's something important to clarify and discuss, different hospitals specialise in different things you want to go to the best one for the patient while also balancing the distance to the hospital. Plus as they said they can't all go to the same hospital.
if you get in an accident and they bring you to a random hospital that can't help you with your injuries. Would you like that?
@@GrayVario I'd rather be at a random hospital and get the best treatment for specific injuries than worry where i was. Faster I got medical treatment faster I could focus on my overall recovery. But not all people would agree and that's just my personal opinion.and choice
@@GrayVario good point! All I could feel was sympathy and frustration for the injured. Guess sometimes we have to set aside emotions for logic.
100mph .. well well.. I guess people never learn.

combined speed. maybe 50mph to 50 mph or 60/40
