Good to see the patient survived his STEMI. I was a paramedic in the US and we had a new protocol in our county that if we see a STEMI on the EKG would call our local ER and the doctor would call the hospital one county over to see if we could bypass the ER and go straight to the cath lab. I’ve put a few patients on the cath lab table. One survived but hers was really complicated and ended up in the ICU and the other was a “silent heart attack”. He was elderly and thought it was a diabetic issue. His family had called 911. His only symptom was dizziness/weakness. We checked his sugar and it was normal. Then we did the 12 lead EKG and there it was. We got him to the hospital with the Cath lab bypassing the ER and he was put directly on the table where he survived but died 5 days later. This man was elderly and diabetic which means heart attacks for him can be symptoms that’s not as common. He had no pain. Another man we had we couldn’t take directly to the cath lab because this was in another county where this protocol didn’t exist. We got to his house and he is laughing and joking with the first responders on scene. First responder already had the EKG done which also showed a STEMI. It wasn’t a big one on the monitor but it was there. We loaded him up to take him to the trauma/cardiac center about 45 minutes away. 15 minutes into transport his EKG changes and not for the better. His EKG showed “tombstones”. That’s an “oh shit” moment. I treated him with all of the medications we can give (aspirin, nitroglycerin, morphine, Phenergan, and oxygen”. We got him there in one piece. A few months later when I dropped off another patient the nurse remembered me and said “remember the STEMI you brought in with tombstones”. I said yes. He said when he got to the cath lab and they got in there it was so extensive he had maybe at most an hour left to live”. He did survive and from what I’ve heard his wife called or wrote or showed up to the station saying that we saved her husbands life. This was almost 20 years ago. These are just a few of the heart attack stories I have and there are others. EMS is very rewarding especially when you can help save even 1 life. I miss doing it.
Surviving a cardiac arrest in the field is really rare. I was a paramedic and a respiratory therapist for 15 years combined and I’ve done CPR probably at least 50 times. I remember the first one we saved and she got to go home in the end. I got to visit her in the hospital and she knew about me which I was surprised. She said “the nurses said you and the doctor saved my life”. No, we all did! I still think of her.
Schizophrenia is such a hard disease, and I always feel for the patients who have it. They’re basically stuck in a waking nightmare, often unable to discern hallucinations from reality, and frequently terrified as a result. Treatments with medication come with lots of difficult side effects and sometimes don’t work or lose effectiveness over time. Kudos to the medics here for balancing the difficult line between partner/scene safety and care. It’s NOT easy.
And when people get diagnosed with COPD, other pulmonary and cardiac issues many continue to smoke because the attitude is “if I’m going to die anyway I might as well enjoy it”. Many times it’s at the tail end they wish they hadn’t smoked and continued to do so. My parents both smoked and both are very lucky they didn’t get lung cancer or COPD. My dad did pass away from leukemia in 2021 and mom is 81 and still here.
I'm retired at 38. went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $75K biweekly and a good daughter full of love God bless America🇺🇸♥️

The Scottish lady made me cry so much! My Mum died 5yrs ago from similar & my Father is currently in the same boat! Don't smoke guys!

I'm inspired.
Please spill some sugar about the biweekly stuff you mentioned.
Big thanks to mrs Kate Elizabeth BECHERER ❤️❤️
Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me.
Wow 😱I know her too
Miss Kate Elizabeth Becherer is a remarkable individual who has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH
why can’t they have a3-shifts/day system of operating? 12 hrs is much too long for that type of job! 🧐
