Most Tragic Moments Seen By Paramedics

It’s always that one calm voice that the person will remember always. It’s a rope to hang onto when you’re on the brink of panic and intense fear.

[@TheEmergencyRoomTV]

Being a paramedic is about more than being a medical professional! They also need to keep everyone calm while still acting quickly and professionally! Definitely not an easy job💙

[@glendastaples8206]

That they do. I just still remember the nurse in the doctors office who talked to me when I was going into shock from my lung having collapsed earlier in the morning, we were waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Everyone does such a great job in emergencies at staying calm and just creating a sense of everything is going to be okay.

[@TheWoodland12]

@@TheEmergencyRoomTVit sure isn’t easy that’s why I’ll never understand why paramedics get paid so little. They always have to have a 2nd or 3rd job because what they’re paid for their paramedic job is extremely offensive.

Thank you paramedics and first responders,for saving our lives ❤

[@debrakleid5752]

My life was saved by a couple of paramedics at a festival. I was in anaphylactic shock and the sergeant and lieutenant were considering intubating me because I was so bad. They were both trying to get an IV at the same time. These two medics were also my coworkers. We were all working at the festival as first responders when I had an emergency myself and thankfully we were not really needed at all those two days medics were there. They saved my life that day. It’s also not the first time I’ve had my life saved but the only time when the medics saved my life. I’ve had at least 2 other times were I was in bad shape. One was when I had a massive blood clot in my leg that was from my foot to my abdomen and in my lungs and I was hospitalized for 8 days and had 2 days of surgeries and it was also my first stay as a patient in the ICU. All the other times I was in the ICU I was working as a respiratory therapist (I was a medic for almost 10 years and an RT for 5 years before going out on disability). This all happened on May 21, 2015. On December 19, 2016 my now ex found me laying in my own vomit with a fever over 105F (40.55c) and I was very delirious. My now ex called 911 and I was taken to the hospital in the ER where they determined within minutes that I needed to go to the ICU. I don’t remember any of this. I woke up in the ICU where I was severely septic and according my my ex who was an RN, I was already in the dying process and without help I most likely would have died overnight without help. I was hospitalized for a month and it was my 8th admission that year. It was horrible. I know what it feels like to save a life as well as have my own life saved more than once. Now I’m on permanent disability and it seems like I’m constantly getting a new diagnosis and in the hospital. I’ve survived sepsis 4 times and I’ve had pneumonia probably around 15-20 times since 2016. None of us know when our last day will be! As a medic I’ve seen people having the worst day of their lives. Be kind!

It is important to learn CPR and first aid even as a regular civilian, and it is easy to learn and become certified here in the United States

[@debrakleid5752]

You would be surprised how many people refuse to do CPR on someone even with the dispatcher giving instructions. Everyone should know how to do CPR and how to use an automatic defibrillator. I’ve done CPR so many times. 2 were on children. One was a 3 year old little boy who was accidentally run over by his dad in his truck. That poor dad was just destroyed knowing that he killed his young son. The child had a heartbeat when we arrived and when I was intubating him he went into cardiac arrest. The other was a 22 week old premie that was just born in his parents car. She didn’t know she was pregnant. He died 2 hours later and he was the youngest gets patient I ever did CPR on. I’ve probably done CPR about 50 or more times. Everyone else was 18 or older. Some adults I’ve done CPR on was traumatizing. It’s not hard to learn and you never know when it may be needed. Hopefully you will never have to do CPR but you won’t forget how to do it once you have done it.

[@Lastxheaven]

It's a required class at my old hs to graduate so thankfully some people are learning it!

@@debrakleid5752 you're a hero! Thank you for your selfless courage! ❤️

[@debrakleid5752]

@@rachelsteinfeld3571 I appreciate it but I am not a hero. It was part of my job as a paramedic and as an RT and very few patients survive being in cardiac arrest in the field. I may have had 1. Their chances of surviving cardiac arrest in the hospital is higher but not by much. I’ve seen a few survive it in the hospital and I remember one woman when I was a paramedic student doing clinicals in the hospital. She survived and even got to go home. She sent me a card and I still have it. The nurses told her that it was the doctor and myself who saved her life (I was doing CPR since I wasn’t far enough in school to intubate, start an IV, push drugs, or run the code). It wasn’t just the 2 of us so I was surprised they said it was the 2 of us. It’s a team effort. As a medic especially if I was the only medic on scene which made me the highest level of care there, I was responsible for running the code (meaning I instructed each person as to what needs to be done just like the doctors in the hospital) as well as doing the advanced skills like starting an IV or IO, pushing meds, intubating, and so on. I don’t work as a medic or as an RT (respiratory therapist) anymore because I’m on disability but I really liked my job and if I could do it again I would in a heartbeat.

[@andrewmurray9391]

Yes! I hope you don't mind if I cite this on occasion as a good example of the (lack of) definition of death. *If* the driver were laying neatly in the grass in the same condition, it sounds like they might have tried to help, and may have succeeded. Maybe. But knowing it will be hours before they can apply care, there's no point. He's not dead, but he's dead.

[@debrakleid5752]

In the US? It has its problems. I’ve watched some of their programs where they follow doctors and nurses in the hospitals and with everyone having free healthcare the hospitals get so crowded they wait for many hours in the waiting room and sometimes they can spend days in the ER waiting for a bed upstairs if they get admitted (and I’m not talking about during the pandemic). People who were getting surgery that was planned ahead of time and they would go the morning of the surgery to get checked in and then have their surgery. Many get cancelled because they didn’t have beds for them afterwards. Some would get cancelled multiple times. One man was there for gastric bypass and he had been cancelled numerous times and was about to get cancelled again however the surgeon decided to go ahead and do it at the other hospital across the street that had several empty beds. Why were they empty while the one across the street was completely full? The one with empty beds was for those with private health insurance apparently and they let him finally have his surgery and put him in a room at that hospital which was a lot nicer than the ones at the full hospital that tends to have up to 4 patients per room and unlike in the US they will have male and female patients in the same rooms on the floors. In the US I’ve never seen that and they usually only have up to 2 patients in one room in the US hospitals and others may have all single rooms. One man needed a AAA repair and they didn’t have an ICU bed available for after surgery (AAA is aortic aneurysm repair) and so he finally got surgery on the 2nd attempt and he had complications and died on the table. He was in his late 80’s or early 90’s. I live in the US and as much as I hate the high costs here it’s no better when the ER’s are constantly full and no beds are available for OR patients afterwards.

@@woolsheepthree nerves are made to warn the brain where in the body it hurts and how severe the injury is. It is very important because just think about how many people ignore pain. If you could just switch it off as you described, how many people would die because they could just turn off the pain. It's almost like ignoring your dash lights.

This is the first time I've visited your channel. Why are the medics wearing full PPE?

[@xenabobena4779]

That was my question too!

[@debrakleid5752]

It was probably filmed during the pandemic or may have filmed a couple of years after and some may still wear PPE while others don’t. When treating a cardiac arrest you are also dealing with the airway and COVID is a condition involving the lungs and many first responders were getting sick with COVID. Most patients in cardiac arrest get intubated and to do that you have to look down into the airway to get the tube in the right place unless you are lucky enough to have a special type of laryngoscope where there is a camera on the end to you don’t have to put your face in front of the patients to look down into the airway. I’ve intubated many patients and I never had one with a camera. I did it old school

[@AudrinaLockwood]

Why are the parametics wearing those weird suits? Dose the person they are carrying for have a deadly/contagious illness? I want to know.

[@texasoutlook60]

What are those contraptions on the paramedics?

[@jaykneegarner2479]

They are specialized masks that seal around the face and connect to a battery powered air purifier. These were heavily utilized during the early stages of the COVID 19 pandemic. They work better than surgical/N95 masks as people who need to lip read can see the persons face. The reason some wear them and others don’t in this video is that it’s a compilation of different clips.

[@PeterPan-jd9lu]

Did the first patient had a haemorrhagic fever or something? Or were they really that crazy back then about the C?

[@hyper_on_rr8623]

No heart sounds , no breath sounds and he's not breathing. Really?

[@wiktoriawilk6521]

well, there is something like agonial breathing - that is usually when the patient is unable to get enough oxygen, and they are gasping for air. it is not a natural reflex (not true breathing basically), so it is important for paramedics to differentiate between breath sounds and breathing itself, because those can mean a difference between life and death for the patient

[@Panda_Biscuits]

Agonal breathing is a natural reflex that occurs when the brain is not getting enough oxygen. This can happen minutes to hours before death occurs. The reason she pointed this out is because if this patient had not had a pulse or breath sounds, but did have agonal breathing there would be a chance (though very small) at resuscitation.
