You know it’s gonna be bad when a first responder curses when they get on the scene 😞 RIP Grant, I hope your family has found as much peace as possible under the circumstances

[@gigibeal]

right, when i heard that man say "fuck" i knew it wasn't looking good *at all* for grant 😭😭

[@Jones4Leather]

Also telling when they say "It's bad' on scene in front of family When I heard 3.5 liters of fluid went in before they could get a pulse back - he only had about 5 liters total to start - incredible resuscitation, and not a surprise he could not survive.

[@frederalbacon]

To be entirely fair, most of the time, the "Fuck" is when we're getting the call. We get call notes, look at our partners go "well this is gonna fucking suck". He didn't know what was going on until he literally looked at the kid. I've walked into stuff blind that has shocked me into swearing (welfare check turned into person down, etc) for sure, and it's never good.

[@libertyforall5764]

Did he really accidentally fall or pushed down?

[@BeccaReevesXX]

I lost a loved one in a car accident due to blood loss. The fact that this amazing man held this young mans neck for all that time just to try and keep his blood loss controlled is commendable. I could only wish we had someone like him in our area that day. He deserves so much credit for his efforts. Thank you sir for all you do!

[@petamarsh3026]

The closest I've been to saving a life in person was helping a young man who was heavily intoxicated and passed out, smashed the side of his head on the bonnet of a car and landed on broken glass from the wine bottle he was holding. I had my young son with me at the time. I ended up sitting on the ground holding the young man in recovery position with one hand while monitoring his breathing and state of consciousness and cuddling my son close to me with the other hand all while on the phone with emergency services. I still wonder how he is and my son was very worried, but after a long talk about why I helped him he was very understanding and accepting. What these first responders see all day every day is absolutely incredible and so often heart breaking. I am in awe of them.

My parents didn’t have any insurance, they had to sell our house to pay off the bill. This was in 2005. The helicopter was something like $20k and the rest of the medical expenses (two months in nicu) was around $100k

I can’t imagine the thrill of saving another person’s life. All I did one time in my 70 years was find a little lost boy, close to a lake filled with alligators. It was my hero moment and the biggest thrill of my life. If I never accomplish another thing in my life, I feel like I was put here for that reason. These people are heroes in my book.

[@sarahackermann2399]

I have had the good fortune to do it two times: first, in third grade on a school field trip to a pool, my classmate jumped in to the deep end but he couldn't swim. I noticed he wasn't able to get his face above water and was panicking, so with one hand I held onto the edge of the pool and with the other I grabbed him by his hair and pulled him over. At the time I was too young to really comprehend why his mother was so grateful when he told her ans why the school gave me a special certificate for it. I just figured he was in trouble, I could help, so I helped. Second time happened when a child I was babysitting choked on a hot dog. I'd taken first aid training a month prior in school by good fortune and I knew how to do a proper stomach blow technique.

Grants family where so brave through the whole thing, they stayed as calm and collected as one could in such a scenario. Definitely vital to first responders when time is not on the patients side, it allows everyone to focus on the patient and less on consoling the family. I just knew there was no way he could’ve survived an injury like that, but I just couldn’t help but hope that he would pull through. RIP

The only thing that might have saved Grant would be to have had a full on trauma surgery room in the basement of the house. With a fridge full of blood. The injury was across the main veins of his neck. Humans are designed badly; an injury THERE usually means bleeding out VERY quickly. As fast as help got there, it was still too late. His family did a wonderful thing, donating his organs. So many other families got to keep their loved ones, because Grant's family were able to rise above their own terrible grief, to do something generous. I have it on my Canadian health insurance card; I am an organ donor. My family knows as well, when the time comes, if any part of me can help someone else, they can have it. Have that family discussion. I know it sounds morbid and awful, but it is also a way to let someone save others at the moment of their own passing.

have had my canadian one signed since age 16 will be 54 next month. my 4 kids all signed theirs at 16 as well because their father needed a heart transplant. sadly he wasn't able to get one as the team felt he wouldn't survive the after surgery issues and passed away just a few days after his 47th birthday in 2011 after 25 yrs of marriage. u can't expect someone to be willing to donate their organs to your loved ones unless u are also willing to donate yours should something bad happen. hopefully more ppl will donate their organs so others may live longer since we don't need them once we have passed.

[@kelly1827]

@@AccidentallyOnPurpose I'm not sure where you are in the US, but I worked for 21yrs in NJ as a paramedic and we routinely did pre-hospital intubations, including RSI. In NJ paramedics are only dispatched on calls which meet the criteria for potential life/limb loss. Consequently, we are specialists -- we don't stay with patients who are BLS level. I know in some parts of the country medics staff all calls, but that means the % of pts they see in a year who need critical care skills is much, much smaller.

If that’s not the case here then the advancement in, on the scene trauma is astonishing! Very recently, he wouldn’t have made it out the door alive. If they can accomplish that, WOW! That’s absolutely incredible…..and too impressive not to try and watch! I’ve got to know, regardless of the cost. 10:36 I suspect from the blank looks on the faces of the family members, they’re completely clueless to the fact that he’s dead at the moment! If he can raise the volume, stop the bleeding (left jugular and/carotid I think) and restart the heart! I’ll be blown away!

@@Axelsmom Oh absolutely, but when I was a medic in the army(from 1988 to ‘94) I wouldn’t have had the medical training nor was medicine advanced enough to have even a chance of keeping one of my guys alive with a wound that severe and that volume of blood loss. I lost one friend due to a severed iliac artery. I did administer clotting agents but the artery was completely severed from a shrapnel fragment and needed to be clamped off. Unfortunately when the artery was cut the upper segment of the iliac artery recoiled upwards into the lower right abdomen and even though (with help) I stared 2 large bore I.V.s to keep his fluid volume up he bled out in approximately 4 and a half minutes, then cardiac arrest. I did have CPR going but that’s pointless if your patient has no blood volume. That is the reason I found it so difficult to watch that particular case. I was very surprised that they didn’t lose him right there on the floor, I didn’t think they had any chance of even getting him out the front door let alone make it to hospital so I was very pleased they could even achieve what they did. I was not surprised that he later died. Incredible how much trauma medicine has advanced since I was a medic! Which is fantastic!

I love these videos but, they are hard to watch. I’m a retired ER nurse, not because I wanted to, I miss it tremendously. I defied the Doctors but, 6 years after my 3 back surgery and severe arthritis, the Doctors won, I taught a good fight. It wasn’t my career it was my life.
