More Cases From the Races - John Hinds

[@heliopolis29]

John Hinds deserves a posthumous OBE, without question!

[@tbrowniscool]

He really does. I dont know how these people do their job! Its incredible.

[@ashleycrane415]

Unfortunately no such award exists, you lose the honour on death. I do, however, think the John Hinds Hospital has a certain ring to it.

[@marinaclarke8771]

Not a very receptive audience, I have just watched a 45min talk by John and am now watching this and I know nothing about medicine and only watch bike racing regularly when the TT is on, but I could listen to him talk for hours. He was an absolute pro at bringing humour to a lecture on something extremely serious and is an absolute hero for what he has achieved in his lifetime and for how many lives he has saved. I guess this audience just didn't get his genius, they should have realised they were listening to someone special, a one of a kind. RIP John Hinds.

[@themittonmethod1243]

Everyone in the position of First Response owes this man (Dr John) a great debt of respect and thanks, for advancing the science.

[@cash1927]

It's a glorious sport and John would be the first to agree with me.

[@CountessOfOle]

He'd also be the first to agree that it is a cruel sport. He said so himself in the previous lecture.

[@cash1927]

CountessOfOle as someone who knew John, I think I know his position better than you.

[@CountessOfOle]

Wilcofan I'm not arguing that he loved the sport. He had to to do what he did. But he also called it a cruel sport. Verbatim. In the lecture before this one. That's not me speculating. Those are words directly from his mouth. I reckon it's akin to the way tornado chasers feel about what they do. You don't have to be blind to the raw destruction and devastation of a thing in order to feel the exhilaration of being so near it. If anything, understanding the peril only adds to the glory.

[@CountessOfOle]

Wilcofan Your comments have me curious now. Do you race? :)

This guy is an absolute hero and carries a huge legacy here in Northern Ireland. There's an air ambulance with his name as his legacy. RIP Dr Hinds.

[@JohnS916]

Prior to the Doctor Hind's passing I watched a couple of videos featuring his talks and experiences. I then learned he was killed and that hit me like a brick. What a remarkable and passionate person the doctor was, yet delivered his message and experiences whereby anyone could understand and appreciate the work himself and his team performs at these crazy road races like the NW 200 and the TT. I never would have thought the doctor would be a victim of those same roadways he treated so many racers. I hope his team carries on in honor of his work, I'm sure they will.

[@jessepinkman7448]

It's a real shame there isn't more material from him available on youtube. As someone who's in the medical field and loves bikes he's certainly someone to look up to. R.I.P.

R.I.P. John Hinds. Much respect from Ohio, USA.

[@msmeyersmd8]

This man is the person I aspired to be. I had the technical skills to do so many years ago, but I failed to use those skills. I didn’t advance the art of traumatic medical treatment. John didn’t fail. He set a new standard in trauma medicine. I didn’t have the bravery to innovate in trauma medicine as he did. No cricoid pressure? Heresy in my training. Cracking a chest? Totally out of my permitted area of treatment. The world is a better place because John Hinds was here. Because of John, I’m trying to make up for the lost opportunity to help more people. I’m old, out of shape and easily distracted. So I have nothing to lose. I used to tell students. The patient is already dead. You can’t make a mistake that will kill them. All you can do is be aggressive and save their life. So don’t be timid.

[@eamonnbyrne8400]

I had met John twice before and he was the most down to earth person.Really good people. I watched the other video were John was giving a speech about serious motorbike crashes and medical intervention.He was so good at what he did and if he had of decided to leave the racing scene I'm 100% sure he could of been a stand up comedian he was that funny.But he was never going to give up on what his pure passion was,and that was to save road racers lives.So until the next time I bump into You my friend.Farewell.RIP. Dr John Hind's. Delta Seven.☘

[@msmeyersmd8]

To put John’s life into perspective. He was born ~6 months before I started medical school. Look what he accomplished in such a short time. John had the trait of fearlessness. I don’t. I hate motorcycles. I love fast accelerating cars, but not fast cars. I love flying. But the sky is big and generally very forgiving if treated with respect. There are no hedges with stone walls behind them a few feet away from my airplane. I’m very risk averse. John wasn’t. Yin and Yang. His death was a tremendous loss to all of humanity.

[@msmeyersmd8]

Just Gofish Actually, I have read in the past, that a majority of pilots are afraid of heights. Is that true? I haven’t researched it. I am afraid of heights where everything is static. The edge of a cliff. The highway with no guardrail on the outside of the turn. Because my Dad got me a job at the airport, pumping AvGas during the summers, observing other good and bad pilots, and flying with him quite a bit. I learned to trust the air. Air is a fluid, just like water and it gives you feedback continuously. When you can truly feel that, most of the fear goes away. And any interruption of that feeling triggers immediate negative reactions. I owe my flying instincts to my Dad and Brent Connor. And my observations of what to do. And what not to do around airplanes. RIP, Dad. Mom is in hospice and probably only has a few days left. Soon you will both be together again. I flew in this airplane many times with my Dad and other pilots as an uncertified copilot/autopilot. I was pretty good at it until transporting neonatal premature delivered babies in incubators. I’d get the Beech 18 all trimmed up and flying smoothly, right before the ~300 pound neonatal nurse (an average weight for them) decided to get up and walk forward 5 or 6 feet. Yeowww. Nose up on the elevator trim to hold altitude. I’d just about get it perfectly adjusted before she went back 5-6 feet to sit down. Think of the old WWII movie sounds when a plane was diving to crash. I’m exaggerating, of course. But back on the nose down elevator trim to keep our altitude steady. Here is the airplane I flew with Dad, Brent and others at Mercy Flights in Medford Oregon. Now in the Seattle Museum of Flight. www.museumofflight.org/aircraft/beech-c-45h-expeditor

The good thing about Covid-19 is that you get to watch great people like Dr Hinds again, a truly great person (RIP). He puts a fabulous perspective on what it means to "Have a life" when we have to sit indoors now for much of it fro everyone's good. Who else achieved his level of academic achievement and performed his role with excellence at 200mph. Celebrate this man. Sure, it would have been great for him to still be with us, but nothing lasts forever.

[@NickLiang]

The crowd is a bit dull eh? this guy is a legend.

[@JohnS916]

I was thinking the same thing. The difference was it was Chicago USA whereas another talk he gave was in Europe and lets face it the Europeans have a different perspective on these matters because they have lived and followed street road racing for many years. I think they also have a different way of handling tragedy, or coping with it as you can tell by the Doctor's way of delivery. Not that they are insensitive, far from it, you gotta know the culture.

[@raynic1173]

You guys are real assholes. it's the freakin' mic set up. You can hear some laughter if you turn up the volume and turn down the judgment. If you listen to other events he/they have recorded the audience is quite engaged and responsive = must be the mic set up.

[@steve5825]

Every time I watch this amazing man’s videos I can’t help wondering why he had to do his vital job on a motorcycle. I know he was an accomplished rider and racer and I understand his love of the machines and the sport but surely if he’d had a Lotus ambulance he would have arrived almost as quickly and at least stood a better chance of surviving his own accident. Such a terrible loss as is any life lost under such noble circumstances. A remarkable man.

[@Azlehria]

Maximum speed isn't the only factor. Especially on such short, narrow, winding courses you need to consider acceleration, deceleration, and maneuvering. A motorcycle can also be mounted quickly, dismounted very quickly - before stopping, even - and, if you fail to "park" correctly, will simply fall over. Whereas a car will tend to roll if you fail to set some immobilizing control. One resulting in minor property damage, the other potentially in further major injuries. Additionally, at the speeds travelled and and with the humps in the roads, cars will also go airborne. Landing from even a few inches, let alone the multiple feet possible in that situation, is generally not something cars designed for high _speed_ are capable of handling without taking damage. Such damage can totally immobilize the car - not good when you're trying to respond to a medical emergency. Further, as Dr. Hinds mentions, the response team sets out into _an active track_ - that is, the other racers are still moving at high speed. These doctors may need to pass bikes still on the track, and being on another bike makes that much safer _for the other racers_ than if the responder was driving a larger vehicle. They can't wait for the track to completely stop because, as also mentioned, at that point the spectators start walking out onto it. This would tremendously increase the response times to the point where there would little if any advantage over a standard ambulance. You may also note from the leathers, bags, and (discarded) helmets that several other members of his team, including other doctors, also arrived on motorcycles. This provides a number of additional advantages: all of the personnel can stop much closer to - or even within - the scene, reducing the distance they need to walk or run to the patient(s), while also not making the entire team dependent on a single vehicle; if any vehicles fail, the rest of the team will still reach the scene. That's a major consideration for very high-performance vehicles: mechanical failures are still a significant cause of DNF in racing.
