In the USA the ambulance service here acts like you are messing up their whole day calling them.

[@merrilynpegg2706]

They're awesome! They are not afraid to give the pts pain meds..and this is great. Wish we had them in US...

[@DarkJediPrincess]

We _do_ have them, actually. We just actually have to _pay_ for the services and a trauma doctor is not a guaranteed crew member.

Can we just take a minute to enjoy that view where Ellie was having her asthma attack? Wow, when God calls me home, I could only hope I am surrounded by that Beautiful landscape! I'm in awe!!! I'm from America and although we have some breath taking views here. The countryside across the pond just blows me away!!!

[@pjdlol]

man that last clip of the car accident brings me back. i once hit a 13 year old with my car who ran out into peak hour traffic. not being a medical professional the worst part is standing around waiting for an ambulance why they are just lying their screaming bloody murder and feeling absolutely useless

[@merrilynpegg2706]

And the pilots are also awesome

[@Tirani2]

I had a sister who went out for a jog in a rural area, had an asthma attack, and her inhalers failed. She died on the side of the road; it was before cell phones were everywhere and she was alone. Years later, I had an asthma attack on a commuter train going home from work. My inhalers didn't work, and when I got off the train, I realized I was completely alone in a nearly empty parking lot. Thankfully I had my cell phone, and could communicate where I was. I was blacking out just as the ambulance crew arrived. A combination of asthma, a humid summer weather inversion trapping pollution, and triggers on the train came close to killing me. The crew of that ambulance saved me, and I am forever grateful to them. I'm so very glad this crew could take very good care of that young woman; no one should die like my sister did, and I nearly did.

👎 status asthmaticus

[@taylorfrazier7919]

Holy hell that was brutal. Was not expecting them to show them putting the fractured leg back in place of the man who fell off the ladder. Bout gave myself whiplash with how fast my head turned xD

[@JimmyS.25]

Yeah I feel a bit light headed now actually 😅 but I think it's good to watch that because if you're ever in a position where you need to administer first aid you won't be as shocked maybe.

I hope Emma s good

[@MizzzKitty]

After watching most of these episodes (as a person that happens to take multi medications with a few other issues) I am now looking into getting a 🏥Medical Bracelet (they also have necklaces and keychains🏩 now as well😊. I didn't know)... I think it would be a grand idea as seeing sooo many people that are in "unable to talk situations" or the docs puttin people in sleepmode to save their life. That medical info is so deadly important to know, really life or death. Quite scary actually if you think about it. Something to think about for you peeps out there that have ailments that are affecting your life too

[@donnabidermanpozowicz3874]

As a nurse we tend to look for the bracelets fot the necklace is kind of new. So i think its a great idea for you to get on but id lean towards the bracelets

[@AmyMiller-wl4dq]

Damn they sedate well! That definitely isn't the case in the states!!

[@seinfeld11123]

9:40 FUCK ME that was a very bad break.

[@kayparks8382]

What do you do if the pt is allergic to morphine? That seems to be used quite a lot along with ketamine. I’d be profusely sick.

[@Emma-wo7xd]

Use non opiate based analgesics, there’s other drugs that we can use like non steroidal anti inflammatories, entonox, sedatives, IV paracetamol is more effective as it works fairly quickly. Also use strong IV anti sickness to counter the nausea/vomiting, if not you’d probably struggle with a lot of these trauma type injuries without ketamine and opiates!

[@JLK7700]

Why can’t their heavy packs have wheels and a handle like suit cases?

[@DarkJediPrincess]

I’d imagine that would make the kits more unwieldy and difficult to get out of a helicopter. There’s nowhere _near_ the kind of space you have even in a dinky regional jet inside the cabin of a helicopter. Plus, you not only have to pull a roller bag out, but then pause to extend the handle to take it with you, then reposition it so you can pull it along behind you. Speed is of the essence in medical emergencies, especially if the emergency is bad enough to warrant calling in an air ambulance. The medical professionals going to treat these patients would be wasting precious seconds with a roller bag, when they can just pull a rucksack kit out, sling it onto their back, and then promptly hop out of the chopper and rush to the patient.

[@jimybobjim]

Also it’s much harder to transport over anything that isn’t concrete/tar

[@kelly1827]

@@jimybobjim Yep, at least once an episode they're climbing over a fence, trekking thru a field, etc. Completely impractical

[@jjrat5pack]

Not only would it be unwieldy, but it would make the bags that much heavier. They bolt those wheels on & the connection has to hold up to bumps & potholes, etc.

[@LB-ss6qq]

Your opinion which is respected, you could say human nature some folk are quiet, some not so. She has my respect as a Lt Col @ 101 Field Hospital in her spare time with service in Afghanistan (where I served) using that experience to introduce "Blood on Board" which has saved many more lives, oh and being awarded the OBE in 2018.

[@lovelyjanuary]

Rachel is one of my favorite doctors for all of the reasons that you apparently very judgmentally hate @IwasBlueb4. Not everyone is a sedate robot and she certainly DOES NOT make light of people’s suffering. *You* need to lighten up though and realize it’s ok to be pleasant and still serious at the same time. Also, I highly respect her for all of the reasons that the commenter above stated as well. (@LB-ss6qq thank you for your service, by the way!)
