Well done to the Bondi team. You saved that man who drowned. This just proves you are superhuman lifeguards. Thank you Bondi.

[@JTJ1991]

While the guy did survive, the anesthetist is the one that calmed them and coached them to slow down their CPR. What they were doing before wasn't helping at all and it was caused by the adrenaline dump. Having work so many codes it takes many codes to learn to be calm in stressful situations. They are great at rescuing people and you can tell by how calm they are when they do it. Now look at the way they behave during the cardiac arrest portion, they aren't calm, they are talking over each other, there isn't one stepping up to the be "leader" to run the code and keep things in order. The way the guy snapped at the anesthetist acting like they know what they are doing, was totally unprofessional especially when you have a person who is trained at such a superior level to them. CPR is easy and can be taught in a day. But to truly understand and perform to a competent level takes time. These guys do the best they can but they don't have the experience of a paramedic or a CRNA(Anesthetist) has in just a year.

[@RealLifeRescue]

They're a bunch of legends!

[@ShesAaRebel]

Even if you aren't a First Responder, or ever plan to be, EVERYONE should learn CPR. The more people in an emergency who knows it, the higher chances of survival, just cause it's so tiring.

[@yogidemis8513]

Every buggy should each have it's own Defib loaded on, every second counts and if dudeman can't leave the tower and no one was around to run it to the patient then what.

[@ashe1020]

Defibs are very expensive and somewhat sensitive pieces of equipment. It looks like they leave their buggies out in all states of weather. That would possibly destroy the defib. Plus if it was stolen it's also a lot of money lost. I wish it was easier to keep on the buggy but with the cost it's just not plausible

[@onepastmidnightart]

​@@ashe1020 have to agree with ye there, would be lovely to have a defib on all the buggys and probably ease a lot of stress but it's completely unrealistic

[@annevanlienden8588]

They are very expensive, have specific ways it should be kept and i know out here in The Netherlands they even get stolen while locked on walls so, having them on buggy's that may have at times no lifeguard with it because they do rescues etc, its a big risk. So its not realistic to have one on every buggy

[@gendoll5006]

I know how annoying it is when a bystandard runs in saying they’re a whatever (anything besides a paramedic or actual Paramedic (not a basic) then just stand back… BUT… the anesthetic or whatever he said he is was right… I know adrenaline and the urgency of it can make you work fast but that was too fast, you gotta allow the heart to actually re-expand and when you’re going that fast you’re not perfuming enough oxygen. Just glad they were able to get him back!

[@CharLotte-vj4ys]

Yes! The anesthesist tried to made some very valid corrections, i cringed when they completely dismissed him by saying they have those this loads of times.

[@tobe8765]

He's an anesthetist/anesthesiologist. It's a physician (doctor) specialised in anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. He's a highly trained specialist for resuscitations and has definitely more experience than a paramedic, let alone the lifeguards.

[@holly.earendil5187]

An anaesthetist is the top doctor you want around during resus, it’s literally who other doctors call in the hospital. They are the kings of the airway and keeping people alive. They were absolutely bagging too fast and he was asking if they had a LAM to literally be more efficient. Their rudeness was uncalled for. Also under his AHPRA conditions, he was probably obligated to offer aid.

[@barbarae-b507]

I suffered hypothermia when cross country skiing in the mountains of BC. The weather was strange and everyone was over working in the warm weather. I noticed that I could not see and was having difficulty with functioning. When I joined the others in the van they started trying to warm me up. When I finally got warm in the bathtub putting warm water over me. I realized how close I came to not making it. Next time I’ll do totally different things.

[@hparis9462]

I am trained in CPR & the first thing they teach us is when you’re working as a unit, you stay as a unit. Having someone interrupting and giving instructions can lead to big mistakes. It doesn’t matter how skilled someone else is; they all have to communicate with one another to get their job done so i get why they brushed the man off. They weren’t all talking over each other either, they were definitely communicating with each other they were just loud. Chest compressions didn’t look too fast to me, but with that much water in the lungs i’m guessing they were trying to get as much out as possible while trying to get a pulse back. Not doing chest compressions right away could have been a matter of life or death.

[@holly.earendil5187]

The man was an ANAESTHETIST. That is top of the list of doctors you want during a resus, it’s literally their specialty. I think he was telling them to slow down with the bagging, if you go too fast, you are not oxygenating the person properly. Same with compressions, you need to let the heart expand to perfuse properly. If I was passed out and found out later someone told an anaesthetist to bugger off, I’d be fuming.

Wow the amazing response to a guy just carrying and displaying a knife. It puts us Americans to shame what we allow to happen. 😢

[@hunterrific99]

I think they should have let the anesthesiologist help, honestly. To our ears it sounded very rude, the way they spoke to him. But they were running on pure adrenaline, which is probably why they were going too fast and talking over each other and rejecting help. Either way, he was right and his advice was good. Hopefully after seeing this, there was more training done. (I've noticed that other times they've done this in other episodes they've been relatively calmer, so I'm going to assume that their training has been updated.)

Im just gonna change this Im sick of hearing from this comment I understand they were awful or whatever geez

[@echo9970]

Not really yes they got him back but it was total panic and chaos there all talking over each other, only one person should be talking and that is the person in charge of his head. That doctor came up they were pushing him away when his job every single day looking after a person's airway am sure he knows what he is doing. And one other thing they don't need 4 people up near his head like that special when he was coming around they had all those hands all over him there is no need at all. They need to learn to be calmer and stop rushing and stop talking over each other you even heard the doctor say that. And the doctor has a duty of care to step up and help he can't just walk away or just stand there and not do anything.

[@Boydgraud]

@@echo9970I mostly meant their CPR in general,, They were doing amazing chest compressions! I understand they were all over the place but can you blame them? No matter who you are the situation is scary and stressful! They will learn from their mistakes Im sure, and either way hes up and healthy now! Take the W 😌

[@echo9970]

@@Boydgraud They were too fast I also teach CPR for free in the local area and how to use a defibrillator. I don't find it scary or stressful at all when I get called to cardiac arrest and I am by myself and I get there b4 the ambulance also 98% of the time one thing I do get is very tired from doing CPR for some time b4 the ambulance gets on scene. I don't go running around and I just stay calm it does not look good if you are in a flap and you the help they called for or shouting over each other you don't hear that at all from ambulance crews. You as a professional need to stay calm and act professionally at all times..

[@martinreichel6850]

@@Boydgraud If you have a successful CPR this is always a win. But if we want to nitpick take a look at 19:33. ERC Guidelines for example say : "Place the heel of one Hand in the center of the victim's chest - this is the lower half of the Victim's breastbone (sternum)" in 19:20 this was great but after attaching the Automatic External Defibrillator the Positioning was of. In addition if you want to do it perfect you should raise your fingertips to push more focused on the breastbone and get load of the ribs. This didn't matter because it is a young victim with a pretty flexible chest. They did great and the result shows that it worked! Just don't use this as a training Video.

[@RobloxPlayerariii]

A good way to tell if someone is doing something wrong or not, is when they see police force or lifeguards or some sort of security like that and start to flee the scene that probably means they’re doing something wrong and they don’t want to get caught doing it.

[@lovelyjanuary]

The only exception would be someone who is incapacitated mentally and does not understand the situation- like running away from them in fear, if they are actually just trying to help that person, but that’s typically a different dynamic than this scenario or the ones you’re talking about too (which I totally agree with you on but the way! lol).

It was truly a miracle. We're so thankful and proud of the first responders for all their efforts 🙏

[@QemeH]

Lifeguards have SUCH a different experience with resus than we do in the emergency service... If they start CPR it's usually on a healthy young body who has an easily treatable reason for the heart stoppage, so they usually do CPR for a few minutes and then get a pulse back. Meanwhile we usually CPR on elderly patient with an unknown intervall without treatment and no immediately treatable cause. I talked to a lifeguard once and told him that it was sort of a miracle to get a pulse back and nobody ever is lucid after CPR - and he just looked at me as if I said drinking one beer was deadly. He didn't realise that HIS experience was the unusual one and that CPR after drowing is one of the very few cases where CPR has a positive record (as in: more people get a pulse back than don't)...

Watching that last clip is actually quite embarrassing. Only because of all the bystanders. Of course you're going to want to know what's going on, and you're going to want to look, that's human nature... But to form a big circle around lifeguards performing CPR on a dead person is so embarrassing. Especially those adults that allow their young kids to stand there and watch. It's actually quite disgusting.

[@Faded-Tales-PreviouslyHarley]

I’ve regularly wished for these bystanders to make this circle… but facing the other way. Block the people who are nosy and will decide to keep clapping, distracting the first responders. There’s no excuse to watch - you are engrossed in what is happening to a man who is truly dead, and his friend who is already grieving. EDIT: I wrote “who is truly friend” wow. I’m glad I caught that before someone commented.

It's an extremely scary situation to witness. Unless you've been in a similar scenario you don't know how you will respond, but when something this traumatic is going on it's natural to be unable to look away. They're not doing it on purpose to be rude, they're desperate to see the guy brought back. Plus, you just watched a video of it, so you're no better.

Charges dismissed on mental health grounds? I’m sure he will be just mental when he actually stabs someone next. But it’s okay cuz he’s not all there, just let him do what he wants to do.

[@ellieaaa11]

Remind me when this gets famous.

[@caniborrowapencil5160]

If you know how the law works the only mental health condition that can stop criminal charges is something that stops the person knowing what they are doing, such as schizophrenia or a manic episode. It’s not ‘doing what he wants to do’ Sherlock.

Police just letting criminals go just like New York and Chicago, Portland Oregon, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, I could keep going. But I'm not surprised as well that the Australian police let him go.

[@andrealegg2527]

​@@caniborrowapencil5160 but the point is that they are letting him go. Mental health issue is not an excuse to do stuff like whipping a knife out. By discharging him they put innocent lives ar risk. We need mental asylums back, we need proper mental healthcare. If they refuse then throw their arses in jail.

[@MJsaBitterLemon]

​@@andrealegg2527 asylums are not proper healthcare what the fuck!? There are mental hospitals now and some of them are doing very well to care for patients, but some need a lot of work. But, and I'm saying this as someone more than halfway done with their psychology degree, the asylums back in the day were not effective in treating mental health.

The guy crouching over the dangerous device and then nudging it with his foot made me want to scream. If it was an explosive he would have been responsible for at least three deaths.

[@CharLotte-vj4ys]

His own included😅

[@nycot107]

So glad when they manage to bring someone back from the brink of death, but imagine how scary it would be for the patient. I mean, one minute you're in the water and the next second you're lying on your back on the beach surrounded by complete strangers.

As a former CFRO from the QLD Ambulance Service, (Community First Response Officer), I can't thank the guys at Bondi enough. They have intense skill and dedication to saving lives. It's easy for an Ambulance officer to say they do the same, but these folks do it in rough seas, with sand getting everywhere, and with interference from loved ones and members of the public. Conditions far below the norm and even in extreme circumstances they perform above and beyond my wildest imaginations, to perform miracles. You guys are really the guardians of the sea for Bondi. Countless lives have been saved as a direct result of the care and attention you focus on that beach. Thank you for your continued service and skill. Keep doing what your do, With Sincerest Regards from a former QAS Ambo.

Can I ask your opinion… what did you think of the anaesthetist stepping in as he did? Taking over or wanting to help? Good? Bad? Etc

[@lovelyjanuary]

⁠@@wheresmyparadeI know you didn’t ask my opinion (sorry lol!) so feel free to completely disregard this but I thought it was interesting that you brought up the anesthesiologist in particular because I was wondering a little about that too at the time when I first watched it as well. I got the impression that he really was just trying to help with a relevant piece of potentially critical or significantly important advice/guidance but that in such a chaotic and dynamic situation, “too many cooks in the kitchen” so to speak might have been more harm than good in that particular instance. It probably does vary though as each situation and emergency is truly unique and possibly being able to allow or incorporate assistance from a more highly qualified medical professional like a doctor who happens to be a bystander could be actually beneficial *when it’s feasible and appropriate* which just wasn’t exactly the case in this instance- although I do kind of credit the anesthesiologist and fully understand what he was saying and why he was trying to step in here. It’s such a credit to the goodness of the bystanders and people there though, because often so many times in those situations either surfers will go to help swimmers who are struggling until the lifeguards can reach them, for example, and those types of people really are a testament to the sincerity and good will of Australians in general as a whole. Y’all are great and I always love seeing these episodes or spending time with the Australians that I do know or happen to encounter or have an interaction with in everyday life 💕💕💕💕 Never change! Lol.
