Diabetic Patient Suffers Life-Threatening Complication | Inside The Ambulance | Real Responders

[@krissyscott4327]

I absolutely love the level of humanity & compassion these guys show the patients! It makes all the difference!

[@lorettacarroll6015]

As a type 2 myself I ended up in the emergency room twice due to dehydration and extreme pain. It is so easy for a diabetic's sugars to go extremely high fast when dehydrated. Been in diabetic remission for over a year now (changed my diet and exercise over 6 years ago under supervision of an endocrinologist) so I no longer need medication. Totally different story for a type 1. They can't reverse it. So many things can cause a type 1 to go downhill fast, not only being sick with the flu or something like that.

[@HaLLiEB85]

I’ve ended up In the er as well due to severe dehydration as a former type 2 about 6 years ago now . Was in DKA and my sugar was over 400. The hospital nearly killed me tho because they left me in my room for 4 hours before even seeing me to place an iv while I was vomitting profusely and running to the bathroom next to my room every ten minutes. I ended up going ama after they asked me several times if I wanted to unalive myself (I told them I was having an anxiety attack when I came in , nothing about hurting myself at all lol ) and I went to another er 15 min away. Was seen immediately and got fluids right away and meds. Spent 5 days in the hospital because of that

[@judgemental9253]

Type 1, Just got out of the er last week from dehydration induced DKA from a stomach bug

[@LinkaBellGAME]

The gentlemen that's suicidal I do hope he has gotten help and leading a happier life. Depression is no joke but I hope he gets all the help he needs. I work as a laundry aide in a nursing home, so hearing this older gentlemen groaning and moaning in agony kills me. I do my best to make people happy and laugh and make sure I keep an eye on them to make sure they don't get hurt.

[@tammymcinerney7153]

U are a good person :) ❤

[@Uklover05]

For each new episode, I’m getting more and more convinced that I really want to move to the uk and work in the ambulance. You are real heroes ❤

[@lovelyjanuary]

It’s always the people like Jamie who actually really need the ambulance and emergency care that are weary of “wasting their time” and apologetic for calling lol except are the ones who shouldn’t be sorry at all and the people they’re there to help especially! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@nancybannerman1224]

I can totally understand how things went for the older gentleman, and I applaud his wife. When my husband got dementia and had a stroke, it took a lot to take care of him. Luckily, I was a lot younger than him and could take care of him at home. He was so happy to get out of the hospital, but I had to fight to get him out. Here in Canada, we are way too quick to put someone in a care facility. I do admit that the only reason I could take care of him was because of my age. If I had been close to his age, 83 yrs, I wouldn't have been able to do it. He ended up having a massive stroke and died at home in my arms. I was grateful for that. 🇨🇦

[@BG08.18]

Poor guy I hope they take him serious and gets the help he needs.

[@kadinpearse5826]

I respect respect your business and business and your service 12:07

Chanelle could suffer from dissociative seizures (non epileptic seizures caused by stress and other factors). I started suffering from these seizures around the same age as her

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

KetoA, new info to me. Love to all, technicians and patients and family members for allowing this wonderful series to continue.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@olisaprice9870]

Inside the ambulance is the best medical TV show) i love watching this TV show

[@ilovemyservicedog8862]

I think sometimes the paramedics care more about the patient than other people do I can remember being taken to the hospital with my dog and I had Foley and I couldn’t sit up and the hospital wanted to literally just dumped me in the corner and the Ambulance crew basically refused to leave me and said no you’re not going to just dump her in the corner when there’s a perfectly good bed right there for her And they actually argued with them in the hallway that you know you’re not gonna do that to this girl who is you know all tired, disabled and vulnerable and yeah they really stood up for me. I really really appreciate it. Definitely the only ones at that time that were willing to stand up .

[@DrakenFireen]

i had the very same thing happened to me as a diabetic except i passed out at work from vomiting heavily from sugar low then rebounded hyper high, i was found 30 minutes later and was driven to the hospital as were i live is so remote ambulance ride costs 900$+ and none were available, nice to see such caring workers on these videos.

[@ExodusPhoeniX]

I’m a type 1 and been in (DKA) before I was scared for bro especially he just found out he’s a diabetic

[@dizzypancreaspump]

I've been in dka like 30x (not my fault:/)

[@MrJking065]

The British accent sounds so calming in a bad situation. I have been blessed with beautiful care from ambulance to hospitals. And the best care I have had is when the black nurses come in. I have taken quite a few ambulance rides and have spent many days in a hospital. I know the British accent would be so calming. I love the British people and their culture.

[@matronista]

I love this show!

[@KaraNolting]

I love how Matt calls people "petal". It's such a small thing, using a little pet name like that but I know it would make me feel instantly taken care of.

[@malice6081]

As an asthmatic myself. I understand breathing issues. Like they can get so horrid that you can barely move. And then you’re so dizzy when you clear up.

[@DianeSmith67]

please moreeee of the inside the ambulance please please lol i love this show !

[@samjane6267]

The kid with diabeties needs to get a Dexcom, a continous real time blood sugar monitor and an insulin pump. My co-worker, who has type one diabeties, kept being hospitaized due to ketoacidosis. She got a dexcom and insulin pump. That's what is keeping her out of the hospital.

[@dizzypancreaspump]

Not everyone has the privilege to afford those or wants one

[@Allison-ti5vv]

You have to understand they are very expensive. Not everyone can afford one or both.

[@samjane6267]

@@dizzypancreaspump Very true.

[@veronika_jane]

Well, I can understand that first man, who wanted to leave this world... I have my medication now for over a year and it's getting better I hope he will get his too

[@Kloetenhenne]

It is so sad how dementia often deteriorates after a long hospital stay. Same with my grandma. She also broke her hip falling ironically and after that hospital stay it got really bad. They say people die about 8 to 10 years after developing dementia and with her it was quite accurate when she died in january.

[@Cassxowary]

I’m sorry for your loss, hope you’re all doing better/less bad now and I bet she’s alright and happy and well back Home too and you’ll see her again if you want (:

[@Kloetenhenne]

@@Cassxowary thank you! I bet she is much, much better now, wherever she may be

[@yottaforce]

I'm sorry to hear that. Together with my two brothers I've just moved my mother to a permanent care facility due to Alzheimer. That condition is so incredible cruel.

[@Kloetenhenne]

@@yottaforce it is awful. My grandma was also going to go to a care home but didn't need the bed anymore. My other grandma already died in 2008. But with this grandma it was way worse for me. She had been in my life for 27 years.

[@yottaforce]

@@Kloetenhenne It hurts to hear! Our grandma also got Alzheimer. In a way it was good, because we brothers know somewhat what it was and what to expect. Right now she's in a stable period, but in May we had a sequence of psychotic episodes. During one of them she wanted a divorce from _me_, her son. I tried to explain our dad died in 2020; but I could see she couldn't really comprehend the logic. I had to use force to get her back into the care facility. IMO the first month are the worst, because you have to wear through a layer or two of compassion. During that process I felt I was becoming a person I did not want to be. Unfortunate it's necessary for your own self preservation. For instance, I had to block her phone number, because she would call 20-50 times per day.

[@michaelmoore2591]

Someone in the UK needs to develop an injection that can reverse the massive consumption of alcohol just like Narcan does for opioidss. 😮

[@christytrimble2293]

Was he arrested for self-harm or being difficult and drunk?

[@naiveloveagain]

he was arrested because they said he was wanted x3 for assault!

[@Cassxowary]

Going down a slippery slope, hurt frightened people hurt all… whether more illegally like him or through what the average person does… so I hope he got the needed help…

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

He had the UK equivalent of a warrant for his arrest already.

[@Lauriej117]

You don’t get arrested for self harming. You get medical assistance. You do get arrested for drunk and disorderly, having three warrants out for you and possible resisting arrest, assault of police and/ or ambulance crew. Take your pick. Anyway he needs to be off the street, get the help he needs and sort out his warrants and maybe even get some jail time.

[@LostVoicesWithJackie]

As someone with epilepsy, we don't call it fitting. In fact, that's quite insulting. Maybe it's different in UK than the US.

[@amandasnider2644]

It's different in the Uk. It's a common way of saying seizures. I don't think they use the term the same way north Americans do to describe a tantrum

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Fitting is how they say it in the UK. It's not used in a disrespectful term, just another word for a seizure.

[@tessaoshea5697]

Also much easier to spell

[@dawnj2360]

Agreed. No one uses that term in Canada. Its a seizure. A fit makes it sound like they're throwing a fit like a toddler.

[@belindawilson1350]

I am an epileptic in South Africa. Epileptic fit or seizure seem to both be used. I am certainly not insulted by either.

[@EvelynPeake]

Shame glad he knows he need help hope he gets the help he needs and he really goes in to a rehab so they can help this poor man god is with you and he will give you strength 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@carolynkatsilas8559]

[@erikak8187]

I remember when I had neumonia. I could not get a good reading at my drs. It was intense and I was in the hospital as a result then when I was dealing with a side effect as a result for three months I was constantly tired

[@MrJking065]

Why has the young 13 year old girl not seen a specialist. UK has free health Care there is no reason for her not getting the proper care. Bless her pea-picking heart.

[@tessaoshea5697]

The need for Healthcare is an insatiable demand. Without a check (people having to pay) demand will always outstrip supply. I'm still so grateful for the nhs but you have to accept that rationing and wait lists go with the territory

[@FanOBarbaro]

Yes the UK has free healthcare..but the wait-list to see a specialist are often massive

[@deborahmoreland1334]

Hopefully diabetic education ❤for Jamie

[@suri-jadeneilson1287]

I was diagnosed with type1 diabetes at the age of 8 and I had went into dka and my sugar was above 30 and spent a week In Hospital so I know how he feels

[@loisczerkies6621]

I cannot see calling an ambulance for throwing up and/or diarrhea!! Not at $900 or more for a ten minute ride here in NYS!!

[@jeanallan8106]

It’s much more serious when you have diabetes because it can become impossible to control your blood sugar when you can’t keep food down. I agree with you that they seem very quick to call an ambulance in the UK, but I don’t think so in this case. I’m in Canada where I think the ambulance is free, but we’re much more likely to get ourselves to hospital. I called it once when my mom fell and broke her hip, but only after trying to load her in the car and realizing that she really needed to be lying flat on a stretcher. However when my brother was doubled over in pain and throwing up from what turned out to be gallstones, we hopped on the subway because the nearest emergency was only a couple stops away.

[@OlisaPrice-qq1wm]

I had pneumonia 15 years ago. It was so painful I thought I was dying. I was in the hospital for almost a week, and it took 35 days to recover

[@ilovemyservicedog8862]

They waited 18 months to do a brain scan on a kit. What the hell that’s usually the first thing they do.

[@ilovemyservicedog8862]

I don’t understand why the US doesn’t use liquid Tylenol. I’ve only had it one time when I requested it during a hospital visit I was told it was too expensive to use and refused

[@kvarner6886]

Ugh, when I was 27 I had a severe case of pneumonia that ended up causing no fewer that 30 pulmonary emboli, a partially collapsed lung, and pleurisy; and apart from the initial heart attack feeling of the P.E.s, the pleurisy was BY FAR the most painful part. Imagine the feeling of your lung being sandpapered, then covered in tiny fishing hooks that catch your abdominal wall every time you breathe in, and rip out every time you breathe out. Long story short, 10/10: Highly recommend.

Fracture and broken are the same thing!

[@spencerhonda7445]

❤Jamie❤

[@smorris281]

Maybe its just me, but if I need to be treated by EMS, the last thing I want to see is half a dozen cameras poking out from everywhere. I mean, privacy? I would feel a little uneasy. I know we here in the states we had "Paramedics" back in the 90's, but this is going a bit too far with the cameras.

[@Heather-qr4wm]

have any of their patients seen themselves on here

[@Alucard45000]

If the Keto thing can be fatal, how is it a diet fad ?

[@lilithrose76]

There's a much quicker way to restrain an unruly patient than handcuffs lol. Spitting? Slobbering? Put a screen mask on. Being nice, polite, and patient works most of the time, but not every time 🤷‍♀️

[@csmith563]

High Blood sugar IS PART of diabetes. More work on insulin to carb ratio, bolus and basal insulin. Diabetes Retinopathy, kidneys spilling protein, THOSE are complications of Diabetes...32.50. Isn't a fracture the same as a break or enough to pass for same on A & E?

[@cashenfeatherstone]

Y are the ambulances using blue lights when they’re not on a call

[@dawnj2360]

I wish they'd stop saying its a fit. Its a seizure. A fit is such an offensive term.

[@Nathangames4]

Bruh

[@missg.5940]

It is cultural difference only.

[@Z0DIIAC]

It’s different in the UK. The word “fit” is most likely not referring to “throwing a fit” in this case. In America we call them seizures. It’s just a cultural difference

[@belindawilson1350]

offensive..not sure about that. I have both.I have fits of anger and epileptic ones too. Either way both acceptable here in South Africa.

I agree with the other comments and to add to that: Does that make the information less true in any way?

[@lovelyjanuary]

Seeing as though another of your comments was about “obese” people being unacceptable, maybe you should think about not commenting with unreasonably judgmental and possibly fatphobic comments, as you clearly have an unhealthy fixation with other people’s body types and jumping to conclusions about their health that you can’t possibly know.
