Patient's Agonising Back Pain Leaves Him Paralysed | Inside The Ambulance | Real Responders

Can we just appreciate all the neighbors in this video.

[@Beepinsqueekin]

Lloyd is so polite and sweet.

[@margiemckenna8200]

Love the way that some of these people have such great caring neighbours,they are so lucky to have them,particularly if they dont have any family nearhand or maybe no family at all

[@Tiffythompson17]

These people are so lucky to have such great neighbors

[@gidget_]

I am have bad health and my mom too but not as bad. If my neighbor doesn't hear our doggies outside, she calls or comes over to see if we're OK. My mom had to go into the hospital after she tripped, and she brought me meals over for 4 days. We love her like family. She does all this while her husband is unwell and needs help. She is an Angel.

[@charlenesnoto677]

This was a wonderful attitude by this paramedic. So reassuring and compassionate. Well done.

[@ShirleySingh-w9e]

The crews are unbelievably professional but relatable! Great crews!

[@TheJumpingGymnast]

I love Lloyd If I did this job, I would get really emotionally attached to the older people who are really upset that they aren’t feeling well. I’d want to cry with them😅❤

[@caroloder5705]

Joan is such a sweet lady. We need more like her in the world.

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

These professionals are so compassionate and caring on a human to human level! That has to be as important to their patients long term improved quality of life as the technical support they provide. The human connection. Showing that the patient's issues never make them a burden and instead that they are a valued person, absolutely deserving of care, goes so far in a positive attitude that is vital to healing. I'm so impressed I must say Bravo and Thank You to these incredible workers! Heros to those whom they serve everyday! ❤️

Michael is too adorable. He can rescue me any time

[@picashlio3361]

I was accosted by an animal when I was younger (not going into detail here). I damaged some internal parts of the limb it bit but nobody seemed to care. Doctors just brushed it off and have some problems that still stim from that injury. I wish I'd gotten the care these patients do.

[@AprilTeniente-eu1mj]

Lloyd is polite even though he’s paralyzed

[@opposita]

That thumb was a red priority? There was barely any blood and the digit could move...

[@GummyBearWA]

I was curled up in the fetal position for days before they operated. Took a year to fully recover but I got about 85% less pain.

[@jowilliams2323]

Bless you! ❤❤❤

[@KaraNolting]

I've been where Paul is - quite literally. Crawling on the floor in agony with back pain, asking for the needle for meds because several needles would hurt less than you do in that moment. Wishing him well.

[@pearlkelly6337]

Yeah I know what you mean Kara, I have a lot of health issues such as neurofibromatosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, osteoporosis, SVT, dual ectasia and external dyspnea, im in a wheelchair and my spine is curved, hunched and is crumbling away and huge bone missing from bottom of my spine, i am in pain all day and when i have got ab ambulance i have explained all my conditions and that i have a high tolerance to pain killers, like if i get given 2 pain killers that wont do anything its pointless taking it, so i explain all that to them in just saying sorry but theres no point me taking 2 tramadol etc, but a lot of the time they dont listen to me saying that and i just end up suffering, so i kinda wish i had the paramedics in this

[@SnowPink90]

Ummm 10hrs in pain and on floor?! What the heck family!!

[@elainelessack]

@love651018: It would have been a simple act of care and love to call for help for this poor man sometime before 10 hours had elapsed! What were his family members thinking?!? 😢

[@Barbarawr]

I love Jaon and her caring friends❤

[@Coffeeislife33]

Why don’t people go to hospital on their own like with the hand wound?

[@YouKnowTheDuck]

cuz you usually have to wait for like 2-3 hours to get any type of help, i had to get stitches in my finger due to a quite deep cut and had to wait for 3 and a half hour bleeding and in the worst pain ever even tho the waiting area was empty.

[@AprilTeniente-eu1mj]

I don’t like it when the hands are bleeding uncontrollably.

[@charlottesaabye539]

[@missynoormusa7221]

honest question here since i am from different country, does ambulance services is needed if the injuries patient sustain not too serious ,,well aware of what is going on? instead of going straight to the ER or critical care unit themself if they able to

[@peggycarson4420]

The guy with the cut thumb has a tween scar in Georgia USA LOL

[@melanytodd2929]

❤ Lloyd 😊

[@tina.a.59]

😅 was that really needed an ambulance for a cut at the hand !?😂😂 Ridiculous 😅

[@pearlkelly6337]

he probably waited a few hours for the ambulance as well lol hopefully, that might make him think next time if to call 999 if he made his own way there he would have probably got sorted and back home by the time it takes for the ambulance to get to them, ive had to wait ages for ambulances as wel.

Are the people wearing the white shirts officers

[@zachyoung4496]

Yes

[@jmWhyMe]

I think it is horrendous that those medics can only administer paracetamol and entenox. In my opinion, given their limitations, they should have called for a HEMS doctor for Paul, so he could have Ketamine prior to transport. Here in the States, our medics can administer opiates without a doctor on scene, so that at least is a little better. As someone who lives with chronic spinal pain I really feel for Paul...

[@vickiwaatti1076]

So, in American terms they gave him Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and Laughing gas. Correct? When I shattered my leg (here in USA) they refused to give me anything until we got to the hospital , 15 miles away going through a blizzard. What should have taken us to go 15 miles (about 20 minutes) took almost an hour. and you could see the bones (not stick out of the skin where there would be blood) but, stick out and my ankle was so broken and dislocated that it was almost backward yet, nothing for pain!!

[@jmWhyMe]

@@vickiwaatti1076 yes, exactly, Tylenol and laughing gas. I am very sorry to hear that you got no pain management at all. Some departments and ambulance services can do pain management and some can't. It depends on whether they are Advanced Life Support certified along with local laws ...

[@Lauriej117]

Thanks for your professional opinion.🙄. In the US, many people wouldn’t call the ambulance or go to the ER because they can’t afford it. The lack of healthcare for many Americans is inexcusable.🇨🇦

[@jmWhyMe]

[@agustinbarquero8898]

[@cynthiatolman326]

Acetaminophen, an over the counter pain medfor that kind of pain?

[@CantonDem13]

Well, they administer it via IV, so it takes effect a *lot* quicker than the OTC pill version. It makes sense to start with that, and then escalate to morphine if necessary.

[@anitastovall4020]

I know exactly how Paul feels. Epidural eases the pain some. Tramadol is a joke it doesn’t work for a lot of people. My mom is addicted to Tramadol for the past 15 years

[@cynthiatolman326]

@@CantonDem13 When you're dealing with a man who has been paralyzed on the floor for 10 hours, in my opinion, it's common sense more is needed. I believe what was happening here is neither of the 2 paramedics were qualified to give morphine. I've seen where they brought in another crew to do it, but they didn't want to tell him that..

[@tessaoshea5697]

Tylenol is more effective than morphine for some kind of pain

[@fxontv]

National Health Service (NHS).

[@shooo223]

i feel like the fella with the back injury would have been a good candidate for morphine, no?? or is that not good with back injuries as he might injure himself further being too relaxed? i just felt so bad for him and then to hear they were just giving him tylenol woof

[@pearlkelly6337]

IV paracetmol is and can be better than IV morphine so they usually start off low and work their way up, like gas and air, IV paracetmol an then morphine

[@shooo223]

@ that makes sense, thank you!!

[@pearlkelly6337]

@shooo223 yeah no worries you're welcome :) I know how It all works as I've had to call for help Many times as I suffer with Neurofibromatosis, Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Osteoporosis, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Dual Ectasia and External Dyspnea an I gotta use a wheelchair as my spine is curved and hunched and crumbling away and my spinal cord is ballooned, so my tolerance to pain relief nothing works, I have to take for example 12 tramadol for it to even work for about 1 hour, if I get given 2 tramadol its pointless lol, so I have to explain this to paramedics but a lot aren't very nice an they kinda act like im some kind of addict, when I'm not at all, I just have a lot of health issues so you'd think they would have bit of sympathy and understand but they don't, so if I'm in pain them giving me or telling me to take paracetamol tablets is pointless no point at all, even IV morphine doesn't work anymore

[@Caarooliinee]

thats an addict, not someone in any other pain but withdrawal. take it from someone who’s been there. if they weren’t there because he was dependent he would not have been so insistent & openly mentioned how it’s made his mental feeling better and his fingers and toes tingly. over the years involved in that stuff and you just learn to know the behavior of someone who is lying for drugs.

[@pearlkelly6337]

Tylenol is most likely not a good option for him. Tylenol affects the liver and since he admitted to alcohol abuse he most likely has liver damage. Tylenol is mostly good for muscle pain. A cyst is extremely painful. Yes he might be getting addicted to morphine but the pain needs to treated.
