Yeah all the comment like the "pregnant women" one seem silly and a bit unprofessional. But as someone who was in an ambulance in big stress (wasn't life threatening but still bad) those comment really help you to stay calm, because when doctors and nurses are around you making funny comments the situation looks less serious and you can relax. And also it doesn't effect the nurses since they are really well trained and words don't make their decisions less profesional.

REASSURANCE IS A MASSIVE PART OF ANYONE WHO TENDS TO A PATIENT!!!!. Not everyone has that special gift and that includes a patient's family and any mouthy bystanders who reckon they could do a better job!!!.
I'm in tears watching this. The amazing ambulance crew,who picked me up in December, reminds of those 2.Bloody heroes who deserve all the praise they get
Heroes.. I will never forget their ability to help people. I cried once at the hospital as my skin turned blue because i didnt know i had severe panic attacks and i thought i was saying my goodbyes.. The London ambulance service has stood by me, and I owe them too much. Thank you beyond imagination. You are heroes. I am owe you.
Can I just say guys. Salford saved my life 5years ago I had a massive brain hemmorage. These guys are really amazing they kept me calm while I was vomiting everywhere. My head felt like it had been smashed with a hammer. I went straight into surgery. And I'm here now. Got to have brain surgery at Salford again In 2 to 3 weeks. Wish me luck guys ❤
as someone who working in construction .. i have had over my life some nasty accidents ... and i can tell you every single person i came into contact with at the NHS was like these .. there a cedit to there proffesion .. the front liner staff are on another lvl there training is the best in the world and i for one thank them all for what they do
Im just a random guy from germany who studies med and watches a ton of these documentaries. Thank you Andrea for doing what you do, its great to see that people still care and do it with such a passion. God bless you!
Amazing work. It's one of the most beautiful things watching people who are truly passionate about their jobs and really want to make a difference in the world - makes me tear up
@@SakuraTempura No it's not, his job is to treat the patient. Pointing out bits and showing the ambulance crew (he was HEMS) what he was looking at/for didn't need to be done, but he did it.
@@kaylaireland3494 - I believe you're wrong. What do you mean? He's clearly there to provide advanced emergency/trauma diagnostic and interventional care. That's his job. Not sharing knowledge of ultrasound images that a standard road crew paramedic doesn't really need.
Remenber everybody: a car has flameble stuff inside. The puddle at 2.46 could be gasoline and people are standing in it. If you are at a crash, get every fireextinguisher out and ready even if there are no flames. It could save a trapped person from burning alive.
Good point, but the car had a severe frontal impact with a lamppost so it would be coolant and/or brake fluid. There was along skid mark leading up to the point of impact on a road that has only a 30 or 40mph speed limit. The air bag didn't deploy and the driver's head impacted the windscreen so probably not wearing a seatbelt. He's very lucky to have survived.
Love watching these programmes but wish they would at least put up a few sentences on the screen at the end to tell us what Injuries the man sustained in his crash. Well done to ALL the emergency services all coming together, Air, fire, paramedics, and police working as a team and getting the patient safely to hospital for treatment
To all of you Detectives, Dispatchers, Firefighters, Paramedics, Police and everyone else who witnesses the horrific that us cannot fathom, God bless you! 😞♥️
Bless these people to the moon and back. With a government not fully aware of truly how heroic these people are, they still continue on a daily basis to protect the people of this country.
@@JD-env1 Well if i see a huge accident and a bunch of emergency vehicles + an air ambulance i would be very interested to see it and maybe take videos/photos of it.
Just had another refresher Emergency First Responder course today and it's inspired me to watch some real life examples of how those skills can be applied. I've been lucky and have never had to respond to life threatening situations. But you never know what might happen. And even just having the basics of first aid can be life saving.
Trust me you don't 😂😂 I find it hilarious how foreigners romanticise England based on the accent, you're going to get the shock of your life when you visit lmao (if anything that makes it funnier, watching foreigners be absolutely disappointed when its not what they thought it'd be lol)
@@rb2k196 - Not sure where you live in England but where I live it’s great. Fantastic infrastructure, most people own their own homes and are are financially secure. There’s plenty to do, friendly people, numerous restaurants and bars, 5 miles of seashore. I’ve traveled the world, and lived overseas, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere but England. 🏴
haha if you’re american don’t be shocked if you hear people whisper about you. hearing your accents is always a good laugh. don’t go to the chavvy areas of england as well. most of england is really nice if you know where to go, and we’re fairly polite. we’re not exactly nice, but we’re polite.
I used to live in Burbage just down the road and a side road off kingsway. Can't work the location out it looks like it nr parrswood school. What a team these energency services are, the way they work hand in glove with each other. As the saying goes 'not all heroes wear capes '
Its truly amazing the amount of resources we have to helping each other when it really matters. There were well over $10 million dollars worth of equipment and dozens of highly skilled and qualified professionals giving it their absolute best to help him. We live in an amazing time.
to those people who stood around filming on their mobiles, STOP IT! Should be illegal to film people without written consent if it goes on line. People should give victims privacy in their time of need
The airbag didn't deploy because it's more likely part of the faulty Takata airbags that used ammonium nitrate that failed under damp or hot conditions and if deployed it could have sent shrapnel into this person's head. Up to 2.9 million vehicles on the Uk roads have been fitted with faulty airbags with 900k still needing to be recalled, so please check your car to see if it needs an airbag recall.
British English is so charming. Where we would call a patient "critical" in the United States, they say "very poorly." It's like how your maiden aunt would describe her rhumatism this week.
There are so many operating procedures and tech in the UK that I wish EMS here in the States had. Is one better than the other?? I don’t know. I believe there should be hands on training, observation, etc. between the countries. The world’s EMS would benefit greatly from the sharing of knowledge.
@@stevenbowers4164 right now, here in the States, EMS doesn’t have either that I know of. Closest we come are the Life Flight helicopters. Or the military. But, yes, to both.
The US really needs to bring their EMS into the 21st Century. Some cities have world class paramedics, while in other parts of the US citizens only have EMTs with a few months training to crew ambulances. In countries like Australia, Ireland or the UK ambulance services are pretty standard nationwide. Here in Australia, you get two highly skilled paramedics whether you're in a small town of 2,000 people or a major city.
@@douglasstocks9698 As in Australia. Here we call it a Bachelor of Paramedicine, a 3-year university degree. Some do a double degree with nursing. Paramedics, just like doctors, RNs, dentists, pharmacists and other allied health professionals are registered. Without registration you can't work unsupervised as a paramedic. The idea that in the US you can technically have a volunteer with only a few months training providing the only emergency medical treatment is mind boggling.
@@johndoe-it1mo A film crew who have the emergency services permission to only film certain parts of what happens.

whats concerning is that one accidents seems enough to bring the emergency services to a point that it strains the system so much that they cannot handle other emergencies. Massively underfunded 😞 That women at 3:25 taking pictures makes me sick!!!
Not really, if you think about it. If they send a doctor, it's probably because you're already in a very bad way. If I had 999 called for me, the last thing I'd want to see is a doctor.
Folks PLEASE don't try to get people untrapped from their car unless it's on fire. They may have injuries you can't SEE and you could make worse. Just wait for the professionals.
Congratulations to all the ambulance. Hope the patient is doing better. But one thing all those people keep standing around so close to the accident I don't understand that. In the US that would never happen it would be police there and tell them to go on about the business.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird to walk up, stand there and just stare at someone getting emergency attention? Like, we’re you not told it’s rude to stare? And especially someone in such an intimate and vulnerable position.
If help is already there/on the way with proper help already there i make sure to hurry out of the way be and respectful and not stare, idk who raised some of these people

Well, in the U.S. if two people have different religions, political ideologies, and viewpoints it means one person is "an idiot" and the other person is "100% right and no one can change their mind". It's an intolerance to difference creating the divide and its so stupid.
