Josephines carers should work to convince her she doesn't need EMS. Im sure they do, but its so hard because people that truly need it aren't getting the care they need.
Interesting, in nursing school as a registered nurse, we were never taught to complain about our patients( the UK people are very patient and kind in person, though~or blame them for their symptoms. We were taught to establish a rapport, and to give certain instructions on how to help ( breath in a paper bag…) and not to explain how they’re hurting themselves by breathing too fast. For some reason it seems like all over the world, that pain is being ignored. It would be nice if there would be social workers that work night shift and public health nurses too.
This is heartbreaking. I never knew the emergency services were this slammed there. I have a question, if anyone can answer, instead of so many ppl waiting for the ambulance to arrive can they not drive to the hospital if they have someone to take them? I’m just curious, no disrespect.
Of course they could. In my opinion, these people who constantly call 999 without having a medical emergency should be charged for every single call and call-out. There are so many people who overload the health system to such an extent that other people have to die miserably because the rescuers can't get there in time. That is absolutely incomprehensible to me!
@@crohniequeenab think sharon was talking about the old woman that only had stairs to get out of her house and not a ramp. So that's why sharon said if they could have a portable ramp just for those reasons.
@melanytodd2929 Don't you think we've come a long way in understanding mental health that we wouldn't benefit having modern-day asylums to properly medicate and treat mental illness. You seem to be thinking of the early 1900s asylums when no one knew any better.
hi! @@Texasishot105 i have friends who have unfortunately ended in mental health wards (as far as i know they don't call them asylums anymore !) and i have heard it's quite a horrific experience for most of them. I think there's a lot of work yet to be done when it comes to helping people with mental health care, most of them prefer to deal with it on their own rather than end up in a ward.
@@Texasishot105psychiatric hospitals are what you’re thinking of. And to answer your question, from a US perspective, the psych units that exist are often very understaffed, overcrowded, and poorly equipped. I’ve been in a psych ward 3 times, each of which left me feeling worse than I did before because of other patients, abusive doctors, and being treated like a criminal. I was in an ocd spiral that was so severe I needed a feeding tube because I couldn’t eat. The psych ward forcefully removed the tube and wouldn’t give me my psych meds. I get that you’re optimistic about mental healthcare, but truly, some places treat us similarly to how people in asylums were treated. I firmly believe that my “doctors” in those hospitals would’ve lobotomized me and everyone else in there if it wasn’t illegal.
No wonder it takes 12 hours to go to somebody that needs an ambulance, when they are Making sandwiches For patients And Visiting And dancing With Josephine After going to her home 10 times a day😢😢 Leon and Josephine need to be charged every time they disperse an ambulance to their residence. All this making of sandwiches and tea for everyone that doesn't really need an ambulance , they are making patients wait 12 hours for help. Absolutely absurd😢😢😢😢
Because what she took was absolutely fine and not going cause her immediate problems. Idk why them telling her that is weird, no reason to not tell her that and cause her to have unnecessary anxiety over it
"It's nice to work on live people. I was a butcher before.."😂😂

A paramedic who used to be a butcher. What a change!❤
It would be interesting if 4 or 5 UK paramedics could come to US & see what it's like here and let's see what there opinion is on it.
I love iris. She a beautiful smile
45:33 Omgoodness the smile on her face 🥹. So sweet, man I miss my Grandma so much, it’s been 11 years since I saw her sweet smile.
Poor Leon. 😢so sad. He needs to be in a facility to help manage his mental health and his medications and he wouldn’t be alone
The lady living alone should have a roommate. Having someone to bounce worries off can make a big difference.
Telahealth would be great for those who are lonely. Take on phone with professional every week or two.
I feel if somebody keeps calling 999 and it's not an emergency they need to get fined.
Or an psychiatric observation.
Ah, Josephine ❣💔😢
The ones that are in the ambulance and just plain health care over there are twice as nice as the ones that are here in the states.
Always hilarious when they say "I lovey you" kmsl!!! I ask them so what did u take tonight! 😂

The cases with the elderly people is killing me!!😢
what are the green shoulder thingy with the gold patches?
Josephine needs a care giver...shes so lonley...
Sad that they lack resources and resolutions😢
Please, could you put a portable ramp inside your ambulances?
Why?. There is a ramp on the ambulance

Arian…am I the only one that thought Aryan nation? Apparently it means silver in Welsh.
If they kept calling 999 in America like that, they would be arrested.... Just saying...
Because America is one of the most corrupt countries in the world ... just saying ...
USA-Josephine would have been invoiced everytime and she should be. Leon, good grief.
Like I said ... America is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. And your comment is one example.
Leon would have been in jail hospital awaiting trial for stabbing his carer. I don’t get why he wasn’t charged with assault and arrested
The lady with the virus, why couldn't she have gone to her local gp?
Because she's Josephine and she's mainly just lonely.😢
She's on the spectrum...😢
Do they no longer have mental health facilities in the UK? Or asylums? The resources being used on fake emergency calls is ridiculous.
ASYLUMS???? HONESTLY?

Not rediculous. These particular people sre not mentally ill. They just need a bit of reassurance. Nothing wrong with that.

Why would you say" what you took, absolutely fine.....🤦🏻♀️
Because what she took was absolutely fine and not going cause her immediate problems. Idk why them telling her that is weird, no reason to not tell her that and cause her to have unnecessary anxiety over it
