Critical Response to Brain Injuries! - Ambulance UK

[@rheahanlon4307]

They were so respectful and kind to the man with the mental health issues, speaking to him like he's more than his issues really helped

[@maxinepreston7601]

I just want to say thank you to all our first responders/call takers across ambulance, police and fire service. We have such a privilege in the UK with the NHS. So a big thank you to our hospital staff who do so much for us.

I hope the elderly lady was OK. She was so sweet, bless her

[@lindahuseyin4210]

The Ambulance service had to break in to recover me , cannot express my Thanks enough

[@kristinarnesen3152]

That lovely Margaret ❤ bless her 😍

[@TweetyPAK7]

I wanted to know about the little girl with the injured back and neck. 😕 ALL emergency/hospital workers are true angels on earth. Where would we be without them. ❤

[@Nanatracie]

Thank goodness for the nhs, they are all amazing 👏

[@DropInCrimes]

Great video as always!! Awesome job :)

[@antoinette8713]

They should REALLY try putting more time energy money etc… to try to figure this out I never seen this happening other then like when covid & if theres a large emergency with multiple victims obviously. but this is kinda crazy that they dont see that they need to put more resources into trying figure some kind of solution out. I have been emt for many many years & have many friends from all over the country & some from across world from some of the online forums im on & groups for emergency medicine employees & i have never heard anything like this happening on such a consistent basis! I thought there was supposed to be a certain amount of emt/fire fighters per amount ppl in ur area!

The man had a head injury. Mom/wife? should have been able to see him for a second. May not get another chance.

[@silvershoes9724]

I know, but I guess they were a team working fast to intubate him and get him off to hospital ASAP 😢

[@jennyrose2200]

build more hospitals people. What's up with the care, free isn't working.

[@Shdeffie]

Most patients are elderly. A night in hospital costs roughly £800-1000, an ambulance ride around £700. Do you really want that for your elderly? These people are in their 70s, 80s and 90s.

I respect every single person who works in the NHS but the funding they get is a disgrace

[@pattyk734]

How is the NHS paid for?

[@andyzillla4133]

@@pattyk734 essentially through taxes which we pay a lot of but don't really see the benefit.

"The thing's out" Jeez...

The elderly woman had clear symptoms of slowly developing pulmonary embolism. It can be really difficult to make a diagnosis because a pulse oxymeter measures all the blood cells that carry some kind of gas. However, the gas can be something other than oxygen, in PE usually carbon dioxide. If there is no right ventricular injury yet, ECG looks normal. Still, the patient may die suddenly. A hoarse voice is also a symptom of PE in some cases, as in my case.

[@User-un4fu]

A pulseoxy does not measure all kind of gases and definitely not carbon dioxide. It can measure how much of the hemoglobin is saturated with oxygen or carbon monoxide (which can be relevant in case of a smoke gas inhalation). To measure how much carbon dioxide is in the blood, you would need a capnometry device.

[@mattoverho1]

@User-un4fu Thank you very much for your kind answer.

Manchester is almost bad as Johannesburg CBD. And we have no such thing as NHS. It would be dysfunctional in weeks.😪🇿🇦

[@Shdeffie]

Why would the NHS not work in Jo'burg?

[@melanytodd2929]

South Africa is different. Our government hospitals have been completely plundered. There are few medical supplies. They've been stolen. Along with linen, bedding, food, utensils. Anything, in fact, that can be lifted. At the Joburg General Hospital, they often have no water. At all. For drinking, flushing toilets, cleaning, etc. Its not a question of poverty. It's a 'grab' mentality that permeates our entire country.

Action Stations.

[@chris-ub8in]

This just annoys me always not enough ambulances obviously a knock on affect of people having too many kids for years.

[@corvettesbme]

So hard to watch sometimes.
