As a former Paramedic, some cases always stay with you. I served for 37 yrs and retired last year. I have many cases that I carry with me, and will until I pass. Some are great memories, joyess ones actually, and others on the other side of the spectrum completely. But you always carry them with you.

It’s so difficult for the elderly to take take of the elderly. Especially ones with dementia and Alzheimer's. It’s exhausting, frustrating and they’re no the person you know anymore. “Caregiver fatigue” is a real thing and I’m glad it’s recognized. You want your loved one with you, but sometimes, you have to have help!❤️

[@michellebaker6302]

We did it for my Grandma and that was when I was in my 20s. I cannot imagine doing it when you're elderly yourself! It sounded so easy, because she could walk and do her own toileting and bathing, basically just needed some supervision and assistance with medications, meal prep, and so on. I'm telling you, those six months nearly broke me. Partly because it devastated me to see my Grandma in that state and partly because it just never ends, there is literally ZERO break. I don't think I'd be able to cope if I was struggling with aging myself. Sounds awful to say and of course I would WANT to cope, but I just don't see how they do it.

[@Irisedpig]

Yes honestly its exhausting. If you can get help it can do so much not just for you alone but also for your relationship with each other because you can enjoy each others company more.

This episode was a hard one. Often the ending of these episode leave you feeling happy when you find out how well the victims have recovered, but not this episode.

Right? I nearly died twice in 5 hours earlier this month, and was literally run into emergency brain surgery. Obviously I'm glad i'm here (age 34) and thankful to my surgeon and the nurses and other staff who kept me alive! That said, the disease that precipitated the crisis is incurable and I'll need brain surgeries for life. (This was my 9th, but the first that wasn't scheduled and was a true emergency.) Part of me kinda feels like I want to live a couple more decades and then hope I die in surgery or something so I don't have to deal with this stuff.

Both my dads parents ended up suffering from Alzheimer, my mother having dementia attached. Things where hard on my grandmother when grandpa started showing the symptoms. He ended up suffering a massive heart attack and falling face first on the floor just shy of their 50th. Because of his boxing days and his obesity he ended up suffocating but it was a widow maker heart attack so there was no recovery regardless. Then a few years later my grandmother was diagnosed... To boot she was barely in the ground when my father started down the Alzheimer's path (early on-set). Unable to work a job, and government refusing him disability despite his mental ability disappearing alarmingly fast; we literally lost our dad 5 years ago when they stuck him in a homeless shelter after police evicted him. IT's scary how this disease takes people differently and the fact in some families it quite possibly is genetic.

"Free" is a loose term. They have high taxes, long wait times for surgical procedures, and full hospitals. They have hospitals that regularly operate at full capacity making it challenging to handle large traumas such as natural disasters ect.

I have dual citizenship. While I love the culture in the UK, I have personally chosen to have any major health concerns addressed in the US. For example, my child had surgery on a kidney and we did that in the US. I had spinal surgery following an accident and that was also done in the US. More expensive, yes. Higher standard of care, quicker service, and more advanced medical equipment, also yes. Both systems have pros and cons and room for improvement.

I read the comments on these videos and I am seeing a common theme with them. The EMT in America are just as good as the UK are the only thing that makes it seem like they are not is the mindset of the patient. I am sure if you ask someone in the UK if their EMT are respectful depending on their mindset the may say no. However these shows are not about that. They are to show the life and death situations they have to face every day. I love and respect each and every one of them all over the world. They have the hardest job ever. Fire, police and ambulance. They have to see and deal with it before the Dr at the hospital. Life is not pretty nor is death. Live each day as if it were your last make it count. Bless all of you.

More ambulances would mean more admissions to A&E. A&E are already struggling with accommodating the people coming into hospital. There are not enough beds.

There are a LOT of NHS services that are innovating in this area. It's one of the great things about having a National Health Service rather than isolated groups - they have motives other than pure profit so they can be encouraged to innovate. For example, there is a new nursing speciality "metabolic nurses" that handle cases of old people with multiple illnesses: heart failure, diabetes, pancreatitis etc. They are prescribing nurses who travel around to their patients handling non-emergency calls, and they can review drugs, write prescriptions, and order help from other services. They work closely with social services to get their patients access to mobility aids and stuff they need to live better lives.

Some of us Americans don't really think the UK has weather other than a lot of rain with brief sunshine. Hearing about this devastating storm was a very real eye-opener. I think many Americans have the idea we have the worst storms ever, maybe because it's such a huge country and there is always some terrible storm somewhere in the states. It's not that we think we are special (maybe some do), it's that everything we read portrays Europe to have wonderful weather, always somehow perfect for whatever activity. That includes England, except with more rain. I have often though the UK was like Oregon's west coast, never too cold or too hot or too stormy, just a little chilly and wet. I am pretty sure someone from Oregon is going to dispute that, I only lived there about a year as a child. I have lovely memories of it, though.

Why are so many people out in this weather?!!

[@annamarielewis7078]

Selfish

[@idahomountainlover754]

I was wondering the same thing. They need to all be at home!

I'm terrified to get old. I just might leave before that happens

[@annamarielewis7078]

I’m getting old, and it’s pretty cool. I’m quite lucky to have a stable retirement and a husband who cares for me. If I were alone, I might fell quite different. I do have a DNR.

This is why they should build places where all the elderly can all be together. It should have hospital, rest home, assisted living and independent living all together. Elderly do so much better when there are others to see and talk to on a daily basis. There also should be places built for the people with mental health problems to be all together. That are like apartments with a hospital and small a small store so they don't need to get out.

[@annamarielewis7078]

Great idea.

I feel like no one on the roads cares to actually get out of the way lol

Seeing so many elderly couples living on their own, I wonder why their children are not staying with them. These elderly have contributed so much to society, family, country. They deserve the best treatment.

societies are best judged by how they treat the young and old...

That old couple, the system definitely failed them. “Based on abnormal results” when I call pts with that they need to go immediately. They thought she could’ve had internal bleeding. Could’ve died waiting 8-9 hours for a EMS. That’s an emergency. I wouldn’t have waited.

[@lumpythefish]

what a great bunch of people working there... you Brits are very lucky. p.s. I fell in love with the dark haired women (Jill?) that drove the ambulance...

[@robertbennett2796]

Omg are they planing to build and make more hospital
