Love these people. So calm, kind, reassuring, personable, and professional. Also, the videography is stunning and the editing is brilliant.

I absolutely love the way the medical community treats their patients. Top shelf I'd love to see in the United States.

This series of documentaries is very well done. Thank you!

[@DodderingOldMan]

Aw man, I winced more than a couple of times watching this... Thanks for uploading, I love documentaries like this, and after watching so much 24 Hours in A&E it's good to see the bit that basically happens before the patients get there.

When looking at these open wounds you say you are not squeamish but seeing them in person may be a total different experience.

Ellie should be required to carry all the paramedics bags back the the helicopter… jeeeesh!!!

[@britishbobcat2098]

Ellie was the asthma patient. You meant Rachel.

helicopter 🚁

[@427SuperSnake1]

They would almost never call out a helicopter for something like this in the US. That guy would have been transported by ambulance even if they where more than 45 min from the hospital.

Thanks to Republicans who think medical care should be a "business."

[@427SuperSnake1]

@@ct6502-c7w Well even if universal health care was a thing. Most hospitals do not own their own helicopters, it is an independent business. Secondly I don’t think a helicopter should be called in every circumstance. It’s some of the most dangerous flying that exists. Really only behind aerial firefighting and helicopter power line work. And in some years it has been more dangerous than both of those!

@@427SuperSnake1 Well, true you don't need to send a helicopter in every situation. But I know of a lot of cases where a helicopter would have been very helpful. Not necessarily in terms of survival, but people who would have had better recovery. I've learned a lot from watching these documentaries and injuries that I used to think weren't quite that serious actually are...like if someone has a complex leg or arm fracture it can cut off the blood supply and they might end up losing their limb if they don't get to a hospital quickly. Time is extremely important in any kind of emergency. But unfortunately, I do think decisions are made based on "cutting costs" because too many hospitals and even medical response are owned by private companies (AMR ambulances, for example). We need to *completely* throw away this whole idea of medical care being a for-profit "business." I mean ALL of it. Get rid of it. The problem in the US isn't technology or medical science, we are very advanced with that. The problem is the mentality and policy. We have the best medical science and technology, but most people never get that...they are just treated with the absolute bare minimum, all in the guise of "reducing cost" and appeasing CEOs and shareholders.

Round-a-bouts are ok for vehicle flow until you introduce pedestrians and bicyclists. IMHO as a medic in the USA.
