Tha first call...maaaaannnn. i feel for that operator who took that call. He'll hear that in his nightmares i bet. I sighed so deeply when he said about the little girls party next door. He obviously has a heart and is caring, but he just couldn't cope with all those years of being a husband turned caregiver. Obviously not condoning what he did AT ALL, but thats just so heart breaking all around.
I have been a caregiver to my husband with mixed dementia’s it was definitely not an easy journey. I don’t condemn the man, especially when he was elderly. It’s hard, very difficult to take as the sole caregiver. I still couldn’t do that. But I got very ill. Sometimes the caregiver die before. I thought I would , my husband died in the hospital on hospice. It’s so very sad, but he’s in peace now
What bothers me is if he had called and told them that he couldn't take care of her, then I think they would have put her in a care home or maybe relatives would have taken her. Very sad! I didn't understand what the "diminished responsibility" was. Maybe cuz he wasn't all there, mentally??
I'm watching this from the west coast of Canada. I just want to say how very very kind, caring and understanding the ambulance attendants are with all the people they tend to. In this world of anger and conflict, its so reassuring to see that it appears to me that most people really are what I believe - good and kind.
@@suestone914 made the lady a cuppa ! Imagine that?!! Being an EMT is an extremely tough job; I agree. Unfortunately in the USA ambulance service costs big bucks and I’m sure EMT’s are under pressure. The NHS may not be perfect but the public is cared for and no thousand dollar invoice sent to the poor bloke who has had to dial 911 for emergency care. USA health care is sad.
@@babawawa1953 My elder mom had to call 911 just two days ago here (Vancouver Island, BC). Two ambulances came very quickly for her and the EMTs were very helpful, kind and thorough, as were all the care workers in Emergency at NRGH.

I’ve had quite a few ambulances called for me as I have severe asthma. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to the NHS Emergency Services. These highly skilled professionals save lives every single day. Thank you with all my heart. ❤️🇬🇧
My son is a Fire and EMS dispatcher!! Very stressful but rewarding job. He is also a Firefighter 👨🚒. His Dad is a Cardiac Physician Assistant and I’m an RN in the ER, the only salvation is you learn to compartmentalize these events and cope with it! We love the excitement, We’re just medical adrenalin junkies who love to help people!! Most rewarding jobs ever!!!
Not condoning what that first man did, but anyone who's been a caregiver long enough, especially someone with dementia knows how horrific it can be. Lack of sleep, feeling trapped, and chronic stress can really make you lose your sanity. It's a slow burning torture. I was my grandmother's sole carer for 7 years, and towards the end I became a shell of myself. Even 6 years later I suffer with PSTD. Dementia is such a sinister illness.
I can totally understand that it most definitely must of not been easy, in that case he should of let someone else care for her if he could not cope, because now he will be spending the rest of his old years behind bars, and if he is ok with doing that then maybe he felt like he has nothing to lose because he is already of old age.
Been there done that as the sole caregiver to my husband, I have health issues and PTSD since then. My husband was very challenging. I was relieved for him as for my self when God took him home and released him from this torture. He passed away in the hospital under hospice care
I don’t blame the 999 receiver for having to leave his desk for a few minutes to take that in and process what that man did to his wife that was a shock. Usually, you don’t get those calls. In these videos, my heart always goes out to those elderly people who live by themselves who have to care for themselves and when something happens, they’re all alone. I know the elderly very can be stubborn they want their life the way it’s always been. They don’t want to be looked after they want to be on their own very independent. Sometimes though they really need their family to step in. I absolutely love these videos. Thank you for making them available for us to watch!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow, "the stories behind the sirens". What a great title. Having been in the medical profession for 52 1/2 years in a variety of job descriptions, finally retiring as a Hospice and Home Health nurse, I can attest to the powerful emotions that I've dealt with on an almost daily basis. Occasionally, we'd gather to jokingly state that we'd been in that house & that house, as we travel through our community. Those of us who are called to our profession do so with a sense of commitment, and are rewarded by the help we provide to others in need.---Well done to all of you who deal with crises on a daily basis. More power to you, because it would be too fast--paced for me.
Is there no escape from football ANYWHERE? I can't believe that woman apologised for interrupting someone's viewing to tell them about a very sick man, and within four minutes of a "game" ending, one hundred plus men are fighting. What is wrong with people? Football's not a game any longer, it's a menace.
I hate it..they want to grow up all these freaks of supporters. It should be banned from being shown unless in the home and even then they should have to pay £500 per match.. i dont know who i hate more.. the over paid players, the supporters or the stupid parents dressing little kids in football gear. I am so glad my whole family hated football
Excellent episode. Alot of emergency personnel have PTSD, and they have a really good support system in place to help them. It's a shame about Clifford. I hope that everyone has a great day ❤️🙂⚘️🏥.
It’s so heart breaking seeing the elderly so sick , I have a 96 year old father who was in the hospital and now is in a nursing home so I know what they are going through
It's kind of shocking that the man who murdered his wife basically had no punishment. However having done elder care for both my parents with no help I can understand how stressful that situation was.
wasn't the annoying drunk teenager the one that got punched by some guy? I was surprised there was no police. Maybe just poor editing. Either way, not a withdrawal crisis.
I wonder if they were talking about Clifford because he was suffering from liver failure. It's generally caused by alcohol but it can be from other things too such as diabetes etc. That's what has caused my uncle's liver disease and failure 😢
The poor Man who took the call from the poor man who killed his wife. The poor dead wife... The husband snapped... omg. The trauma of such things... wow.
For the first fellow who responded to the euthanasia call, I’m thinking of you and all the good folks who encounter the most extreme emergencies. The good helpers have to carry that despair and anguish in their minds. Humanity helping humanity. Even though some people would condemn the elderly man. To the medical staff: take care and know that people think of all the good things you do. Thank you
Our emergency services are amazing. I couldn’t do their jobs for all the money in the world. The sights they must see and have to deal with. God bless them ❤
That’s an interesting observation, but it’s important to remember that people’s behaviors and actions can be influenced by many things, not just hormones...😢
Perhaps I am wrong. Being bossy. Use to work for senior services, and found , where there is a caregiver coming in during the week, live-in caregivers were much better able to handle situations and confinement of total care. Especially when they could call for help at other times. What I was wondering is this, what if another member of the family were able to move in and share the care? Say for a week and then switch out to another one? Sorry people, I think too much. Live alone. Oh, say, my grandson paid a visit today! Yes!
@@karate_girl_ibizasome of us work caring. Generally once people can’t live alone they go to a nursing home. Which they pay for. Once they have been out of being with it, people don’t last that long.

(eye-roll)..... Ok, I'm cool, but.......hahaha!.....ok, I'm cool with it, everyone IS an individual!....... Please don't think this was the only thing I focused on.....I loved the whole video.

And it can be highly emotional when you have to make that choice to who gets an ambulance 1st and who has to wait! Thank you so much for this video!
@@leonnehaaijman4709 .......hahaha! Thanks for your support! I was feeling that I would get some sort of flack because I felt that way, but you validated me! Yeah!
Wow, I totally get your reaction about the husband-it definitely wasn’t what I expected either! But it’s so true, everyone is an individual, and I love how you mentioned that...
You made a really important point about the emotional toll that these situations have on emergency responders too. The pressure of making life-or-death decisions, while balancing so many emotions, is so real.
And you're right, these experiences can have lasting impacts like PTSD. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It really highlights so much we don’t often think about.😅
Incredibly kind, the ambulance teams. I’m so very impressed. I don’t know that USA EMTs would be as patient & sweet. Of course in the US it’s all a money game isn’t it?
The woman who called about the man in the middle of the street is an idiot!!!! Did she not think it was important to tell dispatch - That he is a known epileptics, and That his condition worsened after a car accident!!!! She would be held criminally liable if he died as a result of her stupidity!!!!
You're absolutely right-it’s critical to provide all relevant information to dispatch, especially when someone has a known medical condition like epilepsy.
In cases like this, every detail could make a life-or-death difference. It’s definitely frustrating that she didn’t mention it, and you're spot on about the potential legal and moral consequences if the situation worsened. Hopefully, this serves as a reminder for all of us how vital it is to communicate all the facts when someone’s health is at risk. What do you think could be done to better educate people on this?

It’s one thing if it's a medical issue that’s beyond someone’s control, but when it’s something they’re choosing to do, it can be tough to muster up empathy. That said, I think it's important to remember that addiction is often more complicated than it seems-it’s a disease, not just a choice.

Dude sounds like a Lady.
The pregnant woman's husband sounds like a woman.
I can’t give a lot of sympathy with people who knowingly take drugs and alcohol…..as opposed to the other medical issues that show up….
I totally get where you're coming from. It's hard to feel sympathy when people knowingly put themselves in harm's way with drugs or alcohol.
It’s one thing if it's a medical issue that’s beyond someone’s control, but when it’s something they’re choosing to do, it can be tough to muster up empathy. That said, I think it's important to remember that addiction is often more complicated than it seems-it’s a disease, not just a choice.
But your point is valid-personal responsibility does play a big role. It’s definitely a tough balance......😊
Nor me… they shdnt get help until last. As for football fans. Zero help.
