"...when you get a chance in life,". For me that was to contact a hospital when I was 18 years old (minimum age in Sweden), and to donate blood on a regular basis. You get a free checkup, do something good, and a free cup of coffee...! :-) Many years ago in Sweden it also included a shot of whiskey...! Now I'm to old to donate according to the hospitals, but to all out there if You are healthy - why hesitate...? Just do it...! :-D

I do not think that this a big deal for the most of us to donate blood. When we are healthy we have a lot of it, so 0.5 litres (sorry all americans... guess You wanted it in another scale...?) is no big deal! I have a blood group that perhaps is rare (O Resus negative) and that is a blood group that can be given to everyone. So when I was at the University they asked me if it was Okey to take 1.0 litre, because they didn't have enough of blood. "We have to put you in hospital at least for the night, but please we have nothing!..." The next day was a BIG exam for me, so I had to say no... - But please, all You who are in a medically speaking somewhat okey state, please become a blood donar...! It is SOO easy todo it, and one day perhaps You youself need blood...? ;-)

@@ExoVyper I think you're right. That's in the scope of what doctors and paramedics do, and I think they must be saying the hole has to be large enough for a finger to poke in there to fit a chest tube to drain blood and fluid from the pleural space (The inner lining and outer lining of your chest cavity).

@@ExoVyper I think, from the response, they stuck a finger in the hole next to the chest tube to check the placement, and that they could feel the lung expand.

You'll find the flight paramedics are well and truly seasoned staff members. I've been a road paramedic for 23 years. In 99% of cases, jobs like these are a weekly event that you take in your stride.

You're that focused on the task at hand that you kind of become oblivious to "the big picture" that surrounds you, especially when multiple patients are involved.

@Echo 9970 Judging by the different uniform, yes. I have no idea if UK paramedics are trained in performing RSI (placing a seriously injured patient in a coma), like Australian ones are.

Yer the US only uses the Anglo-American system (scoop and run the patient to the hospital and doctors). The UK uses a hybrid of the Anglo-American system and the Franco-German systems (bring the hospital and doctors to the patient on the scene). As shown in this video, when needed, UK EMS doctors will do complex anaesthesia, and life support on-scene, and sometimes, even emergency surgical operations on scene.
