6:24, I really appreciate that you guys DONT censor this. I know that its hard for some people to see, but it is valuable footage to show.. especially when the person viewing is in a paramedic, hospital, military or police field. I get really frustrated when they sensor blood. Its a valuable thing to see to learn from when faced with similar situations. If you have a hard time stomaching it, I am sorry, but to the people who CAN stomach it and often have to, and could benefit from seeing it because its part of their field, its more valuable than you can realize.

[@twit3537]

I think a lot of blood is censored on YT because it can get the video taken down, at least for newer videos. This is an older video before the censoring wave on YT that recently happened. If this was made recently then it would 100% be censored.

Motorcyclists quite often manage to sustain some impressive injuries. We got called one drizzly night to a single vehicle crash involving a high powered motorcycle. This guy in his 50s came around a bend on the freeway, slid in the wet and slammed into the Armco railing. We got on scene just as a Highway Patrol cop arrived to close off the inside lane (the rider ended up lying against the rails in the nature strip). My partner was an ex cop who'd been a trainee paramedic for about 18 months. Our patient was alert with minimal pain. At one point I said to my partner, you support the left popliteal (his left leg was bent at the knee in a normal manner). My partner looks at me weirdly and whispers "something's not right". The HP cop is giving some lighting with his torch. As I cut off the biker's trousers, the torch light shines on this titanium rod where a femur should be. It had protruded out, and pushed the patella to one side. Turns out the biker had a similar crash years ago, shattered his femur and had a titanium rod inserted. Well, the cop nearly dropped the torch in disbelief. We finally loaded the biker into the ambulance with his busted leg still bent (the rod pushing on the knee cap locked it in such a way we couldn't straighten his leg). Seeing life threatening injuries is an every day occurrence. Seeing this was quite a surprise! When we got to hospital, I had the rod covered up. Doctors got a shock when after they asked what injuries, I pulled back the dressing and said "Ta da!". I saw our biker mate about a year later in traffic, and we waved at each other. He had a new bike, a bigger and faster bike.

First responder with the NSW RFS. Not that many fires so far this year but plenty of RTCs. Fortunately our drink driving laws are severe and that has made a tangible difference to it causing accidents. The biggest cause now is inattention and the biggest cause of that is mobile phone use whilst driving. Basically if you want to answer the phone you have to pull over, park, turn your engine off then take of make the call. The big distances in my country outside the big city areas on the coast means that the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the NSW Air Ambulance are kept very busy. Both organisations have aircraft, infrastructure and maintenance provided by the government, but the other ongoing operational costs rely on public donations. Its largely the same as we see here in the UK. There is a system where we do staff placement to the UK and get some of theirs here on rotation. Its a great cross skilling system. A month ago we had the head of trauma from one big UK hospital spend a month here. Before he went back there was an AV hookup and he told us what he had learned here and what he was also taking back home. Whenn we got our guy back he did the same. It was really interesting stuff. You never stop learning in this job. The Air Ambulance here has additional corporate sponsorships and the country's largest banks and mining companies underwrite the operational costs. So basically we get whatever we need. Money is no object so we concentrate on the care, not who pays for it.

24:25 As someone who has a family member with epilepsy, I must recommend that anyone who encounters an incident of epilepsy should start recording it immediately for the medical team. There is a huge variety of seizure types and seeing as much of the process as possible gives them a better understanding of what is going on in the brain. If you see someone recording, ask them why they are recording and if they immediately say that they are doing it for the medical team, let them roll and only if it is for gawking, intervene. Disclaimer: Under no circumstances should you publish the footage on the internet!

[@afhb7447]

I'm French and it's quite surprise to see differences. Medical team don't really hide their concern or use worry word like "amputate" in front or a patient. French seems less extrovert and friendly with strangers (it's cultural) but they'll also never let you worry because of what they say or show on their face like here. It's strange to see them act so freely in both way. French will seems like they don't care about what's going on sometime, and have fun to reassured you too (sometime with French dark humour 😅) , then they will communicate their real concern in a way the patient don't understand, cause they don't want to stress the patient by how they act around him. I suppose it's about our culture too in a way, but that's so weird to observe that in medical field for me, cause stress is a real medical issue too.

[@klt03]

The Anglia One crew were just excellent in their communication when treating Flora in the ambulance! And he's a right MacGyver thinking of using her ear lobe!

[@TrailTrackers]

Holy crap. I can personally relate to the guy who fell down the hill from his bike. During this whole thing, I knew they would tell us the outcomes. I was hoping my hardest that he would be walking. I had the same thing happen to me but just a little bit different. When I was in the U.S. Army I was involved in an accident while inside an APC. The doctors called it an explosive compression injury to my lower back. But him lying there with no feeling in his legs brought back all the memories for me. I had no feeling in my legs for 3 days. When the feeling started returning it hurt so bad. It was like the pins and needles of a limb coming back to life after it has fallen to sleep for a while; but 50 times more painful. I just hope this guy doesn't have any permanent injury to his back like I do. I was 23 when I was injured; now I'm 56. I was just like him after I recovered; walking pretty much just fine. As the years passed the pain in my lower back has gotten worse and worse. I hope this doesn't happen to this guy.

[@painrider3521]

In 1986 I fell on an obstacle course at Fort Hood. I landed badly, pretty much blew the cervical vertebra flat. I have four bulging discs in my neck. I compression fractured T4-5, right hip injured. My L5-S1 has no disc, L4-5 is degenerating. Both arms have moderate to severe nerve compression. C6-7 are stenosis, the spinal cord channel is closing on the cord. Nerve compression is getting worse to all extremities, I can only call it burning numbness. I got back up and moved to the next obstacle. Real tough guy. M1 Abrams crewman. Now 33 years later, I lost my career, my wife and a house. I have to have help with food, laundry, housekeeping and transportation. The pain is constant. If someone tells you to lay still and ride in the nice chopper? Lay still, shut your mouth and ride in the nice helicopter. You'll never understand what can happen. But I never thought it would be this.

[@carolyn6001]

Oh horrors. I wanted to puke when they showed his arm. Poor guy. I can't even imagine the pain. I think this was the most graphic of all the episodes I have seen.

[@TechnikMeister2]

Big trauma like that causes the brain to switch off the pain otherwise the patient would have a heart attack with the shock. That doesn't last long though thats why pain relief is given straight away. In the Battle for the Arnhem Bridges in WW2, a British officer had his bottom jaw blown clean off. He picked it up and presented it to the dressing station doctor calm as could be. He then died. He won a VC.

[@foxxy2583]

@@TechnikMeister2 It doesn't cause the brain to switch off. The adrenaline your body produces blankets the pain, but it wears off over time (that's why some people are in most pain 20-30 mins after the incident). It's also why doctors and paramedics administer adrenaline in some incidents.

[@underdog010]

[@nycot107]

"My neck doesn't hurt" "I know it doesn't, but it's connected to your back" I love the sass coming from that Doctor XD If I were a Paramedic, I reckon I'd wanna strangle patients that give you a smart arse attitude

[@words1984]

He was experiencing fear which often creates denial, if you listen carefully they do explain this in a simplistic way. He also goes from saying "My neck doesn't hurt" to " Am i going to walk" He's traumatized that's also shock that's what there referring to. Sure he could have remained still but he was frantic and when your minds that scared and racing that fast it can be really hard to not fall into a clouded mindset that keeps you from listening. Also, playing devils advocate for a second they should have had his neck in a brace or someone he trusted to keep him calm and not moving in anyway possible. The camera man then zooms into his eyes there trying to give the viewers a understanding of the fear he is experiencing and get you to empathize with the situation. They want you to understand his perspective inside that moment, to try and comprehend being inside that moment when you think you may lose your ability to walk and also have to process everything that's just happened. The obsession over his outfit seemingly ridiculous was actually him trying to distract himself from reality again relates to the moment of denial and fear before processing the possibility's. I know your intention behind this is just seeing the humor within that comment, but also i think drs need a lot more training in regards to how to handle different unlikely or not as common responses to trauma. But i'm no dr, i'm just observant, and hopefully it did some good.
