9:00 nothing more frustrating than taking a call you know is complete nonsense, and it still getting an ambulance response. Took a call where the caller could only tell me that he had bad breath. Literally, just bad breath. Didn't mention/couldn't name any other symptoms so took him through the generic 'sick person' questions and he managed to get an ambulance. Felt terrible for whatever crew would be attending it so flagged it to my supervisor but nothing we could do.

[@kaplicky2388]

true but each country has is own help line which isnt meant for emergencies but maybe this man didnt know that number because he was in foreign country? i think you right bud judge to fast

[@shepherdbrooks7609]

Are you sure "Bad breath" wasn't their way of trying to say breathing/chest problems? I can see an ESL (English second language) person saying that by mistake because they can't find the right english words to describe it, plus being in pain effects your thinking. I don't think someone would call emergency services just because their breath smells bad. Maybe it's just because I'm in the States where it costs thousands of dollars just for an ambulance ride, so I can't fathom calling emergency services for something so dumb.

[@bluelakes_]

[@benjamin3615]

@@shepherdbrooks7609 lol, you'd be surprised. 90% of the calls you get on American ambulances are about the level of calling 911 for actually having bad breath due to poor dental hygiene. They don't care because they're not gonna pay for the ambulance ride anyway.

[@rosalina566]

& no one should be paying for an ambulance. The average costs that U.S. citizens have to pay even with insurance is absolutely absurd and leads to people losing everything simply because they got sick. My favorite story is the man who had chest pains and took ambo and when it was found out that it wasn't CA, his insurance said they weren't going to cover it because it was "unecessary".... yeah, AFTER THE FACT. All health insurance companies are for profit- which means, approving and paying for medical needs is a LOSS. They literally kill people and the U S is just a-okay with it.

In Australia we use the NEXUS assessment. I've heard American EMS crews in videos say "we're going to put a collar on you "just in case" ". So amateurish.

[@PaigeLovelace]

@@coover65 no it's not they do it because they are just being cautious and I am a person who has had to have a neck collar before and they did it because they have an overabundance of caution which I was very grateful for and yes they use it just in case but I would rather have them use it just in case then be paralyzed if something is wrong with my neck that's not amateurish that's good they care about you and what's going to happen to you

[@coover65]

@@PaigeLovelace Like any medical procedure, you perform an assessment first to make sure what you're about to do or give is indicated. You apply a C-collar for a number of reasons. 1; You suspect a high mechanism of injury based on the damage you're seeing as you approach the car. After an assessment you recognize a diagnostic pattern of an SCI. You notice impaired motor, sensory or autonomic function or consider all the clinical aspects of neurogenic or spinal shock. So, in a nutshell you apply a collar after an assessment and based on sound clinical judgement. Consider this; A professional might say "this patient presented with diaphragmatic ventilation, loss of proprioception and bradycardia as well as impaired autonomic function after being a high-speed collision. That's why the spinal immobilization has been applied." If you hand over a patient and say "we put the collar on just to be on the safe side" that just says you didn't do a proper assessment. So, as I said, very amateurish. A professional will clinically justify every procedure.

[@sovkhan4359]

Hello I am a student paramedic and we were always told to not make use of neck braces because they are very dangerous in most situations as it can obstruct nominal breathing and in even worse cases can break the spinal cord in more serious injuries such as car crashes or hard falls.

Years ago, I was involved with a TV crew doing video of the likes of "a shift with paramedics" as a short doco. My role was to view the footage and make sure that there wasn't something that might seem our paramedics did the wrong thing. That's usually via bad editing where they chop and change the order of treatment, so it looks like you've done B before A and so on. The step before that is to make sure the patient/guardian/carer consents to being shown. Probably 25% of what is filmed makes it to the final production.

[@mydogeatspuke]

It's probably his sister who takes care of him, but he was supposed to be alright going out for the day because he was with a friend. The friend was evidently as useful as a chocolate fireguard as he managed to survive unscathed and the poor bloke took the brunt of it. Thing is, adult social care in this country is a bloody joke. If you're single, can't work, have no savings etc, you're basically on your own unless you agree to be put in a home and have all your finances taken over by the provider because the council won't pay for it. Anyone with someone to look after them, any family at all, is left to deal with it themselves too. There's little to no wheelchair accessible housing, social landlords won't let you under occupy because of bedroom tax, and all the new builds are 2+ bedrooms, so everyone just shrugs and says what you need doesn't exist, as if you can just stop needing it if they refuse to provide it. There's no duty of care at all anymore, you just get referred from one useless charity to another, all of them wondering out loud why they sent you to them, and nothing gets done. Doctors can't help either, they have no power, and social workers despite working for the council don't actually have any pull with them, not that councils have any properties themselves anymore. It can vary by local authority of course but generally speaking, social services isn't worth the council tax that pays for it. You'd think with all the people not having their needs met that someone might go "hmm, should we maybe do something about that?" But it's easier to just trap vulnerable people in never ending loops of nothing until they give up and die. Then the "lessons will be learned" blah blah blah. Nothing changes.

The EMS in whatever country this is is incredibly slow. I was in a similar situation here in Texas and assessed so much faster. You guys are in slow motion.

[@coover65]

I think the UK work their scene management like we do in Australia. Here you bring the hospital to the patient, and an ER is an adjunct to the chain of care. Everything that would be done at an ER within the first hour is done by paramedics. Having said that, every second spent on scene is value added. Comparing patient extrications done in the US compared to here, Americans seem to stand back and let the FD get the patient out after only doing a basic check on the patient. Here we manage such extrications, and where possible will get into the car, do a full set of obs, get IV access and administer pain relief. I see videos of US scenes where they pull a critically ill patient out of a car, and there's no IV access, been no cardiac monitoring etc. Not the fault of US EMS crews, but they seem more focused on load and go, rather than comprehensive treatment. More than happy to be corrected if wrong.
