It’s crazy how many people don’t want to go to the hospital after a car crash in the US because of the costs. Something is seriously wrong with this country.

[@karstenlane6864]

Most people really don't need to go to the ER after a car crash, especially not by ambulance. It's really just a waste of resources

@@karstenlane6864 Psychologically that's not really what it is most of the time. People are humiliated, scared, angry, etc. and don't want to extend the experience, they just want to be done with it and go home. Most of them should at least get evaluated for internal injuries, and many will report to the hospital days later with stomach pain, back pain, etc.

As a retired fire chief that has worked at many scenes similar to this I must say that the fire department on the first call is a well trained department. The officer in charge is all business and knows exactly what to do. The other firefighters are all performing their assigned duties with no confusion or lack of organization. This clip could be a perfect part of a training video. Major Props to this fire department. 👍👍💯

[@kingchristian48]

I absolutely agree

[@nicksturgeon5974]

I’m curious who the IC was with… I work in emergency management and if I were that IC, I would have just let them do their work and not keep interrupting lol.

[@jbass69goat84]

@Nick Sturgeon With all due respect the IC never directed anyone to change from doing any assignment they had already been given by him. Just one opinion from one person that has been there and done that......with multiple well trained personnel on hand the IC avoided the crews wasting time deciding who was doing what as a group. Each person received a task to perform and went straight to it. As I noted in an earlier comment, this was as well organized scene and scene management as I have ever seen. If I was Chief of this fire department I would be pleased with and proud of everyone and everything that is seen happening in this clip. Again, just one viewpoint. God Bless All First Responders. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇲

[@everlasting9292]

Having one definite person in charge is so important, too. Or else all descends into chaos! He was very level headed and authoritative, and so calm with the patient. She was out of it and kept calling for help, and he just calmly said, “We are, ma’am. We’re here to help you.” I’d believe him.

[@jessnotmylastname8955]

Having somehow survived a rural 75mph head on, having well trained responders is paramount. We both lived as did the drunk driver. I had been a certed wilderness first responder way back in the day, training kicked in when I was semi lucid, kept us alive for the 75-80 minutes it took for the 1st motorcycle cop to get to us. The trucker who put out the engine fire saved us, always have a vehicle fire extinguisher and a tool to cut seatbelts and break windows securely attached to your center console so it won't fly out. We couldn't use the window breaker bit as we were too damaged, and no windows in the front or the roof that were big enough for us to crawl out. The firefighters were a huge blessing, even though the gore from my husband's stomach and leg made a few hurl. But they kept us alive enough to get to the bus that took us to the life flights. Thank you to all firefighters and EMTs. Seriously, life savers!!!

Until these guys have saved your life you have no Idea how much they are all HEROS.

My sister had a massive stroke in August of 2017. The doctors didn't think she'd live and if she did, they said she'd be bedridden for the rest of her life. Fast forward to Christmas 2017 and after months of therapy and living in a rehabilitation facility after being released from the hospital, she was able to walk short distances using a walker and was able to come spend a few days at home for Christmas. She told me she wanted to take coffee and donuts to the firefighters and paramedics who had helped her. I was working for the city where I lived at the time and was friends with the public education officer for the fire department and asked her if she could find out which firefighters were on the call and when they were scheduled next. I brought her home the evening when they were working and we stopped to pick up a couple dozen donuts and a couple coffee boxes. We loaded up her walker and she walked them into the fire department and thanked them for their part in saving her life. We dropped off the coffee and donuts for the paramedics the next day.

If they're not, the medics who actually help people during strokes and heart attacks are probably out on a call.

I served 5 years as a Volunteer Fireman, I had to leave after attending too many MVA's with deaths. The last one was horrible a van with an entire family only one survived, and two from the pickup taken to hospital via Heli another from an 18 wheeler via ambulance. The chief and I had to guard the deceased on the side of the road for several hours, waiting for the coroner and transport. Then wash the blood and body parts from the road, along with the car parts. Worst part was searching for one missing occupant who had been thrown through the window of the van, it affected a bunch of us. Don't get mad with me if I won't drive off unless everyone is wearing seatbelts, and stop completely at stop signs, and really look left and right. And look for trains, there is never much left when you get hit by a train, especially driving a tractor. Be careful out there.

I witnessed the crash at 1:45:40 in Alachua county. I was stopped at the red light by McDonald’s. The truck went airborne after striking that car. It’s right down from Shands, so lots of medical bystanders immediately ran to help. I remember seeing that nurse or dr in the red scrubs and dark ponytail sprinting right after it happened. The driver of the truck climbed out of the passenger window before emergency personnel arrived. It was crazy…like watching a movie stunt scene when the crash happened!

[@everlasting9292]

So did somebody run a red? What happened, do you know?

[@vafla6861]

They said the pickup truck ran the light but if the other car was going straight like she said then that’s impossible. It’s a big intersection with a double left turn lane. If the car said she was turning left then that would make sense as it’s only a green arrow at that intersection to turn left. So I can’t say. My memory is the car was stopped in the intersection and the truck came flying through and struck it when everyone else was stopped at the light.

If you live in the areas I do you'll realize that Drunk Driving is a huge problem and you are bound to lose someone close to you from a drunk driver in your life time. I've seen the effects and it really bothers me that the person who was drinking will usually survive and the innocent people are usually hurt the worst.

I'm surprised they didn't mention this at around 36-37 minutes in but yes pinpoint pupils can be caused by opiates and or it could indicate head trauma especially in a car accident.

[@mikeabbitt8309]

That’s why any Paramedic worth his/ her salt would treat for both conditions until proven otherwise. Did you notice that the St. Louis Firefighter/ Paramedics didn’t give the patient any oxygen or provide BVM ventilation, they just waited for the Narcan to work, ignoring the possibility of any head injury. SLFD made other glaring mistakes throughout the video, so bottom line, don’t get sick in St. Louis.

The best way to save lives is for everyone to take seriously their responsibility to be safe drivers. Slow down as speeding is the number one killer. Don't be in a hurry on the road. Drive according to road conditions. Be alert to people's mistakes. Life is precious but fragile. Don't demand your right of way when it is not safe to do so. Avoid distractions from your driving. Pull off the road safely to deal with matters that will distract your driving safely. We all learned these when we began driving, sadly we forget them and get bad habits. Be a DEFENSIVE DRIVER. How many times do first responders service an "Accident" that was completely avoidable and lives needlessly lost?

It blows my mind that people STILL don’t wear a seatbelt these days. It can and will save your life in an accident, especially a rollover. I once witnessed an accident where a passenger was ejected onto the interstate after not wearing a seatbelt. I will NEVER get the image of her flying through the air and hitting the concrete like that. I helped give first aid to the others while waiting for EMS after determining that she was gone. It was traumatic to see to say the least. PLEASE WEAR YOUR SEATBELT PEOPLE.
