When the epileptic woman got in the car afterwards I really thought omg they’re gonna let her drive??! And then I remembered they drive on the opposite side there lol
I have to remember that as well. I keep thinking, are they gonna crash driving on that side of the road so much and then i remember, oh yeah, they drive on that side! Lol. It still makes me 🤦♀️when i continue to think that!
One thing I really like about the British system is that the paramedics are able to contact people's GPs, specialists, and even make referrals to social workers. There is good and bad in every system, but that kind of wraparound care is definitely worthy of admiration and emulation. Probably saves them money, too.
It serves a dual purpose - one admirable, the other not so much. In the UK they have the National Health Service. And over the past couple of decades, there's been a shortage of hospital beds. If you watch enough of these, you'll see the ambulance respond to the same person they took to the A&E (Emergency Room) several hours earlier, or one or two days after because the patients are either not admitted, or prematurely discharged. One the positive side, EMS does have a lot of discretion. They are better trained than U.S. Paramedics, and the treatment protocols are vastly different. They are able to make referrals to social services. They are able to treat their patients like PEOPLE, take there time etc... I wish we had that here in the U.S.
Les and Brenda bit... When she spoke about Alf and 'her doctor' I had instant goose bumps and tears on my face. And then Les confirmed my feelings by saying its her dementia. I went through that for 5 yrs with my mom until Nov 2019. Its tough, really tough to see a soul fading away day by day.
My 96 y/o nan has dementia. The last thing she said to me while still being "normal" so to say, was "my brain doesn't work like it should anymore and it's making me sad". She was a teacher for 40 years and has always been very knowledgeable. Thankfully she's like Brenda - calm and happy. She isn't aware of her surrounding at all, doesn't remember her kids, thinks her parents is still alive but she remembers me clearly. I'm the only one that was interested in learning embroidery and lace making, and later on knitting and crocheting. She knows who I am from all the little things I've made for her. But yes, it's absolutely horrible seeing them deteriorate to the point where they barely know they're even alive. I'm three years late, but are you holding up?
Brenda and les and the other lady Jones has ones of the nicest cleanest house in this show.. For people in their 80s that's impressive.. Even if they have carer and all that
I love that they shave the guys chest before putting the stickers on 🥺 Here in the US we put it right on the hair and if it doesn’t read correctly we yank off the sticker to pull off all the hair and put a new one on. In the hospital we take your clothes, keep you up all nigh, and give you free waxes 🤷🏻♀️
Ripping the hair off via the stickers is done when there’s no razor available. It’s less ideal, sure, but the defibrillator won’t work if there’s hair in the way
I guess I'm the exception rather than the rule in that it truly doesn't hurt me when they "remove" the EKG stickers. The part of keeping you up all night in the hospital in the U.S. is spot on ! Not only that, but the hospital here went from regular beds to these "air beds" that inflate/deflate (those should be reserved for those patients who are succeptable to decubitus ulcers - bed sores). I have significant neck and back injuries, so that type of bed is torture for me. And just inflate the bed to the max and leave it. It's not designed for that. The second time I was in that hospital for my heart I threatened to leave against medical advice unless they got me a proper bed !
YOU REALLY CALL THAT HERNIA LMAO? I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW IGNORANT AND INSENSITIVE THAT IS. IT'S GENUINELY EXTREMELY PAINFUL AND YOU FIND THAT FUNNY? SHAME ON ANYONE WHO AGREES WITH YOU!!
@@susanhowe163 Susan my dear, Kitty said she has a hiatal hernia, as do I. Not what we were laughing at. Re-read the comment and take caps lock off. I genuinely hope you have a good night.
@@susanhowe163 she wasn't laughing about the patient having that condition. She was just reacting to the fact that she'd diagnosed it properly before it was confirmed on the show. Relax.
This has nothing to do with this specific video but I feel like I can relate with others sometimes cause I have a rare electrical heart defect that I was born with and they will say they have a tachycardic arrythmia and it's similar to what I have and I'm like ahhh i feel you, even though I don't want anyone else to be sick it feels like i can relate to people sometimes
I feel like that with some of these videos too. I've got a rare stomach problem and P.O.T.S. so get tachycardia and have had supraventricular tachycardia. I totally get what you mwan.
I'm sorry but the child was ill for 12 hours before they sought medical attention? I understand there may be a language barrier, however no one seemed particularly concerned in that room, just seemed so distant to me. Then the mother didn't reassure her child or speak to her at all in the ambulance, at least in the portions we were shown. Perhaps those were edited out, I hope so.
@@dellahicks7231 The mother had no language barrier. From her speech, she was either born in the UK or lived there for years. No, more likely an unhappy woman with an unhappy life. She looks quite young and most, if not all, of those kids were probably hers.
Huh? She has medication for asthma and her breathing got significantly worse over the day and when it happened they called an ambulance. What exactly is indifferent about it? Especially if the mother has asthma herself and knows the illness well.
I eat all night long. I have a midnight apple and spicy nuts. I know it’s bad, but I can’t help it. I sleep eat. I also eat very little during the day so I don’t get too fat. I used to have terrible reflux, but it disappeared when I retired and left Los Angeles 😬
I take my probics before I go to bed. since the stomach acid trend to get worse. I also take a chalky table take coats my inside. I keep some in my purse so I can use it if necessary
I have Gerd and IBS. I used to always have extra strength gaviscon on me at all times because of awful acid reflux. We are talking multiple tablets multiple times per week and often the symptoms persisted. I found taking probiotics made my IBS symptoms significantly worse. The best thing was getting a prescription of Raprozole for the acid and digestive enzymes with each meal
“how can you vomit dry blood” as someone with a bunch of gi issues i would be horrified if the person who was supposed to protect my life was invalidating my symptoms to themself as a joke
I think it was an attitude to their unimpressive pre-visit information. They quite often make light of the nonsensical or contradictory information they get before a call, never a judgement on the patient.
It's primarily confusion on the wording... "dried" makes you think like, chalky or dry and porous etc. A better description could have been vomiting chunky congealed blood or vomiting clots. It's not physically possible to vomit a completely dry substance. Vomit is a fluid, blood is a fluid and our mouths, throats etc are all moist. So what they might have meant was that they were vomiting blood but not in the sense of an active bleed as in bleeding out similar to a bad cut of a nose bleed. The blood vomited was not entirely fluid and fresh.
you say colapse plus reluctant to go and epilepsy i'd think seisure before stroke but still advice to get checked and makr sure someone keeps an eye on him
After watching a few of these episodes, I can't help but notice just how many people here, both in uniform and under care, are not just overweight, but seriously overweight to obese.
They sacrifice their own health to help others. Your metabolism gets all messed up with unusual working hours due to night shifts etc and not regular eating at the same time each day. They don't have time to eat regular meals because of being on ghe jkb do there's a lot ov snacking to get through the hunger for hours. Long hours of driving around and not necessarily a lot of physical activity. When they are off work they mostly use that time to rest or be with family instead of prioritizing working out by themselves.
I’m having NFR tattooed on one breast and DNR on the other, because my husband won’t honor my DNR order, and I never want to be a burden, or senseless. Nope, no, nuh uh, never. Just my opinion. And my mums. We have an agreement. Moving right along. Next. 😇
That care giver in the first one needs to be fired !!! Sitting there right by the medical people who are trying to see about the girl … talking loudly on the phone - I wanted to slap her
What? :P I didnt feel like that at all. How do you know she wasnt on the phone with her next of kin to alert them that she'd had a seizure and that the ambulance was there? Also you can hear the people in the background quite loudly, doesnt mean that they're screaming, maybe they just boosted the audio because the girl was very quiet. She seemed to be good friends with her care worker. I think you're quite rude for being so judgemental and assuming so quickly when knowing nothing about the situation. I kinda want to slap you for this comment lol
Why did you have to say it like learning difficulties like that applies to people who are normally physically healthy as well so maybe say differently-abled if you don't want to be offensive and say disabled no that's not offensive people just act like it is
When I was 8 and took a seizure my grandma put a door key in my hand. I came out of the seizure and one minute later had another grand seizure. The door key ended up stabbing in my skin just under my eye. Epic fail.
Yes...I was surprised to hear them recommend drinking milk, especially at bedtime. Milk causes the stomach to create an excess of hydrochloric acid. I developed GERTS in my 50's and modified my diet, including not drinking milk after about 5pm (and I love milk), eating earlier, and using an incline pillow. Very rare to have any reflux now.
what would you have wanted her to do then? It's not like she was able to hug the kid or anything like that. Besides she was probably also anxious about her daughter's health
@@starrynight8903 Ok whatever. You seem to have little appreciation of this woman’s demeanor from the time she came on the screen through to the ambulance ride. She actually acted like she was the hired help that had nothing to do with the children. I think it’s odd that you can’t see that. If a person thinks it’s perfectly normal to be 10 feet away from your child who can’t breathe lying all alone, then I question that person’s ability to provide any emotional support. It is just not normal behavior.
