Mad respect for Sister Jen. She's exactly the type of person you need in a job like that.

[@ericamiddlesworth5205]

Agree I give her mad respect

[@YaYa-lz1zt]

She’s phenomenal. I love how she told that guy she cannot be frightened. 😂

[@steffc8881]

She’s fantastic her personal life means nothing for her job isn’t never an issue she’s absolutely compassionate but firm when needed 🤩🤩🤩she’s a wonderful person for her job totally professional 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@maryellenblount6376]

She's awesome!!! Just love her and her personality.

[@teslag23]

We need more people like Kevin. Has so much pride in his job. So many would see that job as being beneath them, or like it doesn’t matter, but it’s exactly as he said- he’s there to save peoples lives. Without people like him in the hospitals the nurses and doctors wouldn’t be able to do the things they do.

[@TheSaltySiren]

I love Kevin’s personality! He’s so willing to help, and understands how important each little aspect (no matter how big or small) is, to save a life. Rock on Kevin!!❤

[@brendadion7868]

Jen....you are precisely the kind of nurse I hope to encounter when I end up in hospital. You are a treasure and I hope you are appreciated by all who encounter you.

[@janetcook3631]

You can tell Kevin loves his job. Not everyone in this world can say that. He's found his niche in life.

[@dianenamciu638]

Jen is an amazing person. She has my total respect

[@alison4316]

I love Kevin's passion for his job. Love it.

[@grantwilson257]

I would just like to say a simple thank you to you all.

[@lineprestkvrn9014]

Love Kevin. A man with a mission. No wonder he is so embraced and appreciated. Using his abilities to make a difference for those he work with. And thus also the patients.

[@kristinarnesen3152]

That porter what a dedication the world ned more Kevin's👏

[@susiemcd3941]

The childish man at 5:50 is trying to get her goat but she kept her cool. Bless her heart to have to deal with that type of person.

[@vulpesaustralis1452]

He reminded me a lot of someone from my high school days. I'm sure he peaked in his.

[@ConnieBroski]

I hope people recognize him from this video and he gets the grief from them that he deserves.

[@WelcomeToMyShitshow]

Nurse Jen, you are a freakin legend🔥 Been binge watching & I have salute you chick!! Nothing but respect for you & your team! Thank you for all that Emergency do❤️💯 Cheers from Aussieland😁🤙🏻

[@BethCampbell-b9c]

I love Kevin and his dedication to his job and the people around him! What a great porter!

[@jasmins8260]

It’s an ER not a doctors office. If you’re not dying go to the doctors and you don’t have to wait 3 hours while actually traumas are coming in. Staff can never promise something unless the doctor has seen you and your chart and the doctor is the only one authorized to order the medication. It’s truly common sense when you take a moment to think about it.

[@reddbendd]

Usually about 5 or 6 hours at my emergency department. I go in and take a nap, wake up and see a doctor

[@kristenjensen2589]

I love senior sister Jen. I wish for her the happiness at home equal to the strength she provides her patients at work.

[@robertbauers2210]

5:40-7:31 love The Nurse (Jen) also loved how she said do t try to scare me it doesn’t work and when she said You can’t ever be scared coming to work people know if you are scared they are like animals they can smell your fear and as soon as you are scared you are the people they can abuse

[@kimglover6968]

If everyone had Kevin's passion for their job, things would be so much better.

[@owlsbane]

I loved that Mom's comment "well that's really for the staff the deal with people who are rude and aggressive and say mean things and help them anyway.

[@spindeltass]

Jen is such a star! Tough when needed, yet humble and caring. As other's have already said - she's the type of nurse I wanna meet if I ever end up in A&E again. She, and volunteer Jane Allen from Casualty 24/7 is my all time favorites in any hospital series I've ever seen.

[@CW1002]

Jen is an Angel. The world needs many many many more of her.

[@steffc8881]

Jen is absolutely amazing and professional and her people skills is amazing. Her personal life means nothing it’s her compassion it’s second to none she’s absolutely a team player by how she’s aware of the porter Kevin and his contribution to the team tells you volumes 🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍

[@jeanettediss6640]

Kevin is a little gem. Like a little bird flitting about. Precious.😊

[@ritasharp5676]

Just Love Jen. When she's there I feel everything is gonna be Alright! ❤

[@smalltowngirl4415]

I love the honesty of the woman with the short hair. She says it like it is. We need more tough people like her. In the US if we were so “honest” we’s be fired on the spot.

[@KSMP]

If you really were in dire need of the asthma inhaler you wouldn't be able to talk for five minutes straight.....

[@Just1Nora]

Exactly. And you'd go home instead of waiting for three hrs just to get a new "free" inhaler, because what asthmatic doesn't have at least one at home? I've got like three. One in my purse, one in my bedroom, and a backup, and my dad has three as well. Granted we're in the USA...maybe it's easier to get inhalers here? No idea.

[@VisionaryGardener]

Clearly, neither of you have asthma. It comes and goes, often without warning. If you don't have an inhaler and you have an attack, you can die pretty quickly if it's bad enough. If you're not having an attack, you seem totally fine. But you're supposed to carry your rescue inhaler with you at all times in case you have an attack. So if this guy has serious asthma and has lost his inhaler, or run out, it's critical that he gets a new one asap. They can be abused by addicts, though, so they're only available by prescription.

[@Wendy-yg8yu]

@@VisionaryGardener if this guy was having an asthma attack he would have been seen right away. He also could not have talked as much as he did if he was having an attack. People with asthma normally have more than one inhaler and carry one with them. I speak from experience. It’s an ER not a doctor’s office. The sickest get treated first.

[@linnyhajnalka4393]

[@mariongiesler2306]

Kevin- you are the best! Such a fantastic attitude to your job!😊❤

[@Silvervwolfee]

As far I'm concerned Nurse Jen is the star of this whole series.

[@TheThriftyGma]

Bringing a gang posse with you to ER wouldn't go down well here. They'd be lucky to have 2 "friends" come in with them. That type of b.s. would be stopped at the door.

[@sarahsnowe]

American hospitals would probably be invaded by a SWAT team with a little collateral damage as a result.

[@kittyiam2206]

Love the show! Props to all who work in the medical field. This is not said enough but 'Thank you for all you do!"

[@kittyiam2206]

@@PhDnursepractitionerAGACNP-BC I was in the hospital with my husband the other day and this total B, with a capital "B" was yelling at the nurses in the endoscopy waiting area. The problem was that her family member just got done with the procedure, the Dr. was dealing with an emergency with patient and hadn't time to talk to "B" yet about the family members procedure. "B" had to get home, get her daughter and yada, yada, yada. "B" kept yelling at the nurses about how she had to get home even after she told the nurses. Said nurses kept their cool, offering assistance, snacks and whatever to calm the situation. "B" kept yelling. I told the nurses that I appreciated them. I can only imagine what else medical personal go through. You all must be saints!

I greatly admire them all, but Sister Jenn is particularly impressive

Kevin might seem wild but he is such a kind man and pridefull of what he does , much respect from me for dooing such a banger of a job.

[@sophiabright8371]

These are so amazing - the intimacy and detail. The sound and visual quality. I am so fascinated and grateful to be able to witness these docs.

[@normagrimstad8869]

They should have called the police and removed them from the hospital. Forget security. Hospital staff like the doctors or nurses should be confronting people.

[@Wendy-yg8yu]

Everyone should feel safe working in the hospital. What about the other patients? Do they not deserve to be safe. They are a bunch of immature idiots attacking like tough guys. Kick them all out.

In the US most of these stabbings would be shootings.

Stabbings are also very popular in the US.

In my town we can't smoke around hospital at all not even in our cars if we get a second warning they will fine you and I reckon it's a big fine.

[@jeanallan8106]

I’m in Canada and smoking is also banned on all hospital grounds here, but it very much depends on the hospital how long of a walk it is to get off hospital property. I smoke when I’m stressed and when I broke my wrist and went to a city centre hospital, I only had to go out the emergency room doors and cross the street to get off the property. However, I was sent to a suburban hospital to get it fixed surgically and I would have had to walk miles through parking lots if I wanted to smoke.

Is Jen still at the hospital? I just found this show on prime. She was in most of the episodes in the beginning but she hasnt been on the more recent episodes that im watching. Is this video recent or an older episode?

[@carinwiseman4309]

In US it would not be a 3 hour wait. It would be a 6 hour wait.

[@teslag23]

The thing about the hospital is that if you are waiting 6 hours, you CAN wait 6 hours. There are much more urgent cases. It’s triage. The worst cases seen first and the least sever seen last. That’s just the way it is

[@mickieswendsen1302]

Or longer. I've waited 13 hours with someone.

[@janetbrowning9089]

I feel so badly for medical personnel...they have to put up with some very rude people sometimes & that should never happen...no one should ever treat another person badly, ever...but even worse, when it's someone who is trying to help them. The other subject...when did we stop like one another...we are all humans & we all have feelings & emotions...we need to be kind to one another & try to help one another...we never need to hurt someone...think of how you would feel if someone hurt you...so sad. Imagine how our world would be, if we all cared about & helped one another...it would be so much easier for all of us & it would be beautiful, as well, with less people hurting.
