Patient Put In Medically Induced Coma After Tongue Swells Up | Casualty 24/7 | Real Responders

It makes all the difference in the world if you have a good team.

And NHS!

God bless those who help others in their time of need ❤

[@deckerhand12]

Goes to show you how short life can be and how fast it could change

[@curtispandachuk9323]

You beautiful, beautiful people who do nights all I can say is thank you for dealing with the headaches and thank you for putting yourself out there and trying to be there for us

[@tinacollins2055]

Living in the US with terrible insurance companies taking the place of doctors, Many of the patients on these shows get more and longer hospital care than we do. For most surgeries and other treatments they release the patient in just one or two days. With NHS, the patients are kept until the doctors know they are ready no matter the number of days it takes.

[@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029]

Yup. My dad was let go too soon after his prostatectomy and ended up in SICU with bilateral massive pulmonary emboli. The insurance companies don't care if you die or not. They just sell policies they don't honor and then have a fancy convention vacation for their top selling agents and agency owners, meanwhile their policyholders are literally dying because of surgeries getting denied by their company or their company not allowing for the proper amount of recuperation under hospital care.

[@davinastanton3865]

​@@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029I am so, so sorry. 😔

[@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029]

@davinastanton3865 fortunately he survived miraculously. I thought he was dead when my sister told me to call 911, she was getting him out to the car for an urgent urology appointment related to high fever and possible infection of his catheter when he just all of a sudden collapsed in the driveway. When I got there his eyes had rolled to the back of his head and he was white as a ghost and covered in a pasty sweat and very tachycardic. Got the ambulance out and given his recent surgery history and symptoms they suspected blood clot right on the spot and had him on heparin on the way to the hospital. Was then transferred from our local hospital to the onr where his urologist works from on his orders(they are much better equipped for life threatening emergencies like thst down there). 5 nights in he recovered enough to return home under home health care and 9 months of blood thinners. It took him about a year and a half to fully regain his strength.

[@Graydon1048]

These shows are very misleading in that they show what is supposed to happen rather than the reality, a friend of mine was discharged only two days after serious surgery when they should have had at least 14 days post surgery in hospital, but the need for Beds meant they were literally dumped in the car park in a wheel chair and then relatives phoned and told come and get em. The reality of an NHS emergency department is nothing like these shows, its not unusual to wait 12 to 14 hours to be seen, only then to be sent home and told to come back if worse, people are dying in the waiting area, only a few weeks ago a woman was found dead in A&E after she'd been there for hours waiting. These shows are not the truth.

[@dianekaib9488]

I had a total knee replacement without a general anesthesia and went home the same day.

[@curtispandachuk9323]

You people in A&E are just so beautiful

[@belindatrousdale4876]

Unfortunately, in the United States you can't afford to get sick, even with insurance. Every time I have had to go to the emergency room, I have ended up owing around five thousand dollars and that's without a hospital stay. I'm always in fear of losing my home if I ever got really sick. They want their money no matter what. It can bankrupt A middle class family. If your poor, you have medical assistance and if your rich its not an issue but middle class people have to figure it out. It's very expensive here and the care is not great!

[@sherrydawson6253]

Omg I agree with u 100 💯% it's a sad situation in our country. It shouldn't be. Lord help us elderly that can barely pay our meds.😢😢

[@territ1231]

When you hear these patients are in the hospital 4 or 5 days, I always wonder if they would be sent home the same day in the US!

[@RendaJane]

There’s some really good nurses. I just don’t get to see them. I went in having a miscarriage, and the doctor told the nurse to put a tube down my nose because I kept throwing up. She could not do it because I kept sneezing. I couldn’t help it. She kept yelling at me. I kept crying. I was bleeding a lot. It was horrible then, but they wouldn’t have even seen me if that happened where I live now. It was absolutely abusive then, and now it’s even worse. I fear for my children and grandchildren in the US. I didn’t have to grow up like that as a child. 😢

[@lindawitherspoon446]

I love this content. Thanks so much.

[@TimothyFrankWebb]

Sorry to hear Dave passed, condolences to his family

[@sharonread7674]

I have seen in a later emergency program the same tongue swelling. In the latter case a ladies tongue swelled and it was found to be her new blood pressure medication.

[@britishbobcat2098]

@sharonread7674 I had my teeth whitened at the dentist and suffered anaphylactic shock. My tongue and throat swelled. Gums blistered. The things you are not told beforehand.

[@indigobunting2431]

Love and prayers to Dave's kind family.

[@persephoneblack888]

The little baby 🥺😢 He's so cute, poor thing! Edit: there's a 4hr window to he seen? In the states they see you when they see you maybe 4hrs, maybe 6....possibly 8 and the insurance SUCKS.

[@ColonelKlink100]

That baby is such a darling.

[@2qlrn273]

Like Barry . . . I too had a swollen tongue due to medication that I had a very negative reaction to! But my tongue, instead of filling my mouth, seemed to be trying to 'vacate the premises' ... despite it being attached! It elongated so much that it was stretched (unwillingly) down to (or past?) the bottom of my chin by the time my Dad got me to Emergency! It was SO PAINFUL! I'd been taking the medication 'Haldol', (in the USA) for only a few days, & had noticed I was slurring a bit the last 2-3 days, but the day I could no longer speak at all I knew something was really wrong. I wrote a note: "Dad, I can't talk!" He jumped out of his chair, showed my friend who had just shown up back out, & drove me to Emergency. ... The pain began in earnest then, & I kept trying to stuff my tongue back in my mouth, but it wouldn't fit . . . and REALLY HURT BAD! I was a teen then. . . . My Dr. told me to "NEVER take that drug or any of it's 'cousins' again!"

[@zach-Multidimensionalentity1]

I know the feeling mate I spent my 30th in hospital too mate, just on the other side of it after suffering 3 strokes

[@alyssawssinging4039]

Happy birthday George that was so nice of them aww to surprise him

[@ruthking649]

Im grateful we have nhs . I have had personal good experience but i also know through being a part time carer in past that hospital care can fall short sometimes. Thank you to Nhs staff for what you all do within the constraints you are working under sometimes x🤢

[@avocadoblanket1301]

5 years?!?😅😅😅 yeah 💍

[@murpesc43]

For those of us in the U.S., the number of days these patients spend in hospital is amazing. After knee replacement I went home the following day, alone, and I was 70 at the time.

[@karynahern970]

I agree they through you out as fast as they can. It probably because of insurance, which is awful. I had open heart surgery and was home 2 days earlier than I should have.

[@francesgray3096]

That’s terrible no doubt you paid a fortune too 😢

[@sherrydawson6253]

Thank u so much for these videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Silvermoonscorpion]

I think over nights are the easiest. I preferred them. First shift is complete hell for me. I think being up all night is natural for a select few of us. Which is great news for the rest of ya.. 😊 RIP🕯️

[@nathanhearld474]

26:15 it's bells palsy it's basically a mini stroke same thing happened to me a few years ago

[@louisemason2006]

Bells Palsy isn't a mini stroke.

[@louisemason2006]

Bells Palsy isn't a mini stroke.

[@nathanhearld474]

@louisemason2006 most definitely is because I had it

[@nathanhearld474]

@louisemason2006 according the medical professionals it is a mini stroke

[@MiMi-kx1vy]

It is not a mini stroke. It often gets confused with a stroke. My husband had it and we went to one of the country’s top neurology departments which just happens to be 20 miles away from us. At first they thought he was having a stroke but then quickly ruled it out and diagnosed him with Bell’s Palsy. They were very determined to make sure we understood it was NOT a stroke and had no relation to strokes.

You all are awesome! Love ❤️ these videos! Keep them coming please 🙏 it's nice to see how it works in another country.😊😊❤❤

[@terrygermany2670]

I find that staff in the UK overall have more compassion than in the states.

[@carolyn6001]

I honestly cant imagine being in the healthcare sector in the US. The overwhelming control of the insurance companies as well as all the nonsense they endure instead of being able to do their jobs would be incredibly stressful and disheartening trying to help the sick people.

[@searchtech]

Who's the nurse with the gorgeous curly tresses? So cute.

[@AprilTeniente-eu1mj]

I see the Disney princesses!! They’re lovely and cute!!

I live in Canada and I would like to know what's Cheers mean everybody on the show say it.

[@liyavatansever9693]

It's another way of saying thank you We use cheers when we drink alcahol and when we thank somebody who does you a favour

[@Bonzolee.]

Thank You

[@dianekaib9488]

I thought it was a greeting like saying hello.

[@AprilTeniente-eu1mj]

Looks like his shoes are neat!!

[@laurastuart3814]

Sister Jane need to stop putting her hands on that young Doctor, if it was an older male being so handsy with a young female it would be sexual harassment.

[@territ1231]

Every area is so cluttered... I'm sure not every paper or pinned up paper needs to be there. It's just unnoticed.

Is there any way at all that you could soften up on all the beep sounds during your shows, please? It's hurting my ears! And, if I turn down the sound on my device, then it's too low for me to hear what's being said. Just curious. Thank you!

Dr needs to spit out his gum, so not cool

[@Graydon1048]

Why do all the staff in these programs behave as if working in a Hospital is some how not what they expected to be doing when they clearly signed up to work in a hospital. Why all the daft catch phrases of " Its going to be a long night" well yes that is the basics of night shift in a hospital, "Night time is when you get all the sickest patients" well yes thats the basics of working in a hospital, Why are they all so over the top and full of dramatics when they knew full well they were signing up to work in a hospital! I feel second hand embarrassment for staff talking to camera and saying "Its hell on earth" then the camera cuts to a shot of 4 of them wiggling around in a corridor giggling and having in depth discussions about what they are going to eat for lunch.

[@whoneedstoknow]

It’s dumb to see people try to play doctor when they have never been to medical school

[@cherjohnson5807]

They don’t seem very organized

[@countrylivers]

Yikes, can’t say I would take the chance of going to THAT particular hospital during the night! Hardly any doctors on duty, nurses irritable, doctors hate it and are terribly tired…and etc etc!! 🥴

[@deckerhand12]

That’s any hospital

[@vagirl19]

Welcome to healthcare…..understaffed and overstretched. They don’t hate it, they hate that they don’t have extra stretch armstrong limbs and inspector gadget powers to do everything at once.

[@jennking7546]

SORRY!!.........But,In this episode the hospital staff seem to be doing ALOT of complianing over their JOBS! The hours,their shifts etc. ..speaking for MYSELF & myself alone.I WOULD NOT wanna be taken & admitted into their hospital. I WOULD most definitely be worried & be in 😨 for my well-being & life.I TRULY hope this is not their real work ethic & they were just tired or miss spoke about themselves,environment ETC.. P.S,I really enjoy watching these stories.Its nothing against the "show" or whatever its called.This episode just wasn't a good look on them & their hospital.

[@Graydon1048]

I am so pleased that you've picked up on how much the staff sneer at their own jobs, it annoys the life out of me and its so clear that many of the staff have lost sight of the fact that the job is what it is and hasn't really changed since the NHS started, they are there to tend to sick and ill people not roll around the place giggling and making tik tok content. With some of the attitudes on display I'd say they'd struggle to do a shift in tesco's on the tills with out boo hooing.
