I've been there! Laying in my bed for 8 hours having a Catastrophic Heart attack, because I couldn't afford an ambulance. I nearly allowed myself to just die before taking on that expense! Luckily I had a boyfriend that didn't listen to me and he drove me to the hospital. I did a lot of damage to myself and have never been the same. There is something terribly wrong with our health care system and I am ashamed of our country and the priorities in place. I could not have imagined this as a child or young adult. I surrendered.
@@develmenttisha3427 he was laughing at what the dude said. U are a snowflake. Also tbh I wouldn’t even care if u laugh at me when I fall down stairs because I would laugh at myself
I'm from Europe and as much as I love watching these, it's heartbreaking to see how many hesitate to accept medical treatment and ambulance. The medical system there is absolutely messed up.
Yup! Thinking more about the cost to get medical help than ur actually health is sad !!! Being from Canada which is so close to America and the fact that our system is insanely different is so sad ! But yet I’m thankful ... just going to get a check up in America is apparently $300.. being a hypochondriac that’s crazy ! If I got a bill for all of my doctors appointments and medical treatments I would probably own over 100k..
As an EMT in America who has friends that fly fixed-wing life flight internationally, the hospitals in America may be expensive, but there's a reason. Patients are flown from Canada, France, and the UK to our hospitals for treatment daily because other countries struggle to afford the specialists and trauma centers we have. I'm not saying it's cheap, but the prices keep our hospitals running at the levels they are. Patients cannot be denied emergency medical care in the US no matter how expensive it is and compared to other countries, we have insanely low wait times. My friend in Denmark has skin cancer and he has to wait 6+ months for a basic checkup to see how it's progressing. Thankfully, we also have 'community clinics' in every major city in the US where low-income or no-income patients without insurance can go and get cheap or free primary medical care. When they're not experiencing an emergency. The only medical facilities that can deny you due to not having insurance are Urgent Cares (they're pretty much mini-emergency departments, but they aren't funded the same as large hospitals and they're also only for minor-to-moderate injuries/illnesses), but in the US we have laws that ensure every person has access to emergency care, they're called EMTALA and COBRA. If you're interested, you can look further into them to get an idea as to how they protect Americans. I'm also open to any questions. I agree that prices need to be altered, but certainly not done away with entirely.
In the US you CAN get immediate medical care. In socialized medicine Canada my friend was put on a list and waited 7 months for breast cancer surgery because of perpetual shortages. We have excellent care in the US, and nobody like this guy is turned away because of no money. If you don’t live here, don’t make false assumptions.
Fire department guys are the best every firefighter ive ever met has been really knowledgeable and helpful but at the same time very joking and happy such good guys
You all deserve a THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND KINDNESS. When I was young I thought about working as an EMT but life took a different path. I did however work as an Emergency Dispatcher in Alaska and was involved in first response. Bless You All and be Safe.
Ohhhh my, the woman at the end was a riot. I feel like it's the interactions like that that make it all worth it. I hope she gets to try molly one day haha
I live in Canada where medical cares are free, it's sad that some people hesitate so much to get treated because of the medical bills. Even if it's free, I always hesitate and wait to see if it passes before getting help. I can't imagine having to worry about the money too ! Thank you for all the great job you do guys, you really are heroes, saving the day even if it means removing a splinter aha
These men are so nice to everyone that they go out to see. Come on a splinter. Some of then would had said, this is what you call us out for. But they did,n. They are great. I love this show. The best show on A&E.
My grandparents have been married since they were 17. 50+ years later. Ill never forget the time my grandpa tripped up their carpeted stairs. Completely fine. No complaints. Nothing broken or scuffed. My grandma was annoyed and thought him falling even a few feet as a 'oldie but goodie' was worriesome. She proceeded to call 911 for an abulance, claim she was the one who tripped. When the EMTs arrived and when they argued she should go to the hospital just in case she turned to him. "SEE! YOU NEED TO GO!" The most romantic bitter thing Ive ever heard of. He died a few months before her. She proceeded to buy matching coffins and a dual burial spot. "I married his dumbass. Im committed. And someones gonna have to vouch for him." Fully was aware she was going to die of a broken heart after him within 12 months. "He was like my second kidney! I have one but needed one to really live life to the fullest. Im not gonna live long with one kidney- I drank too much in my 30s. Never seen such pure, tongue in cheek love
Tip if you get a splinter take a shot glass get it hot put it over the splinter to create suction then slowly pull it up and don't draw the splinter out works every time
That last section with those two women, the patient and the carer, in the ambulance cracked me up. The jive, the joking, the high squeals of laughter...just so wonderful.
Gotta love that lady's reaction when the EMS guys rolled up. "Oh my such good looking guys! I wish you would check me out!" Classic sassy, love it. She's so tiny next to the EMT kneeling next to her. 🤣
Lavwren Beeh Imagine being so stiff you can’t reach your feet, eyes too blurry to trim the nails safely, too sore to push your body and not have someone help you do them or be too proud to ask for the help. It is incredibly common for the elderly to have longer toenails than what we would normally tolerate. Her feet were clean, her toenails did not looks infected or thickened. They were just long.
Such a good thing that the Trump administration reformed the Veterans Affairs Administration so that a veteran can go wherever they choose and receive the coverage they deserve instead of being forced to go to a VA hospital with long lines and poor service. It's never any fun to rely on the government for something as essential as healthcare, but since our veterans do - they deserve the best!
I tripped and stepped on a cactus with flip flops on once. I took out what I could but eventually like 2 months later I was squeezing about 20 needles out with all the puss that had built up in my skin behind them. It was the most amazing feeling of relief I’ve ever felt. I know it’s gross but I was literally experiencing euphoria after 5 minutes of popping all those foreign objects out of my skin lol. They were literally shooting out of my leg and foot with just the slightest pressure. Absolutely nuts. Too bad I didn’t record it and post it on UA-cam for all the poppaholics haha
Sounds gross and cool at the same time. I wanted to record my toenail removal surgery to which the foot doctor just stared at me like crickets chirping in the back ground. It was so gross and cool seeing what my toes looked like with out toenails after a week.
@@sassbrat oh see that’s where I draw the line. I can’t handle teeth, toenails, fingernails and veins. Anything involving those on my body and I turn into a fkn baby. So I can’t watch it done to others either cuz I physically feel the pain when I watch it.
@@PneumaNoose I had issues with the toes since i was 8. For almost 30 years i always had infections and could never remember what a healthy toe looked like.
i will forever be grateful that i live in Canada, where anyone that is unable to afford healthcare still has access to it. Hope everything works out for kelly
I'm just impressed by the contortions that old lady was performing with her foot up in the air above her head. Did it occur to them to ask her to sit leaning to the side and put her foot back so he could see her heel.
But so many abuse the ambulance and ER for things they should go see their family doctor for. And many times they can’t or don’t pay their bills. So the tax payers do. I mean their are genuine emergencies. But some calls are silly.
Story time! My dad is a welder and he was using an angle grinder in his shop and it hit a burr and jerked out of his hands. It kicked up and slit across his wrist, slicing him deep on both sides of his watch. He always wore his watch with the clock on the inside of his wrist, so the thick watch housing blocked the most vital part of his veins and arteries. His buddy happened to be there and they drove in the terrible Florida storm over an hour away to his old pediatrician to get patched up, bypassing the hospital! A 45 year old man getting stitches by flashlight since the power was out at the pediatrician's office. Does he keep using angle grinders? Of course. Does he still wear a watch? Of course not! Men...

Hats off to all of you medics out there, you guys are a special breed. Thank you for what you do.
👍
Double props to the camera person for using the Medics hand perfectly as an EMT I appreciate that lol 😆
Your welcome, honestly when you have moments like these with patients it really pays the bills for me.
The ladies at the mall 😂 “lucky us! Lucky us!!” And the crew just ignores every comment... and then the groping of the biceps 😂🥰 too funny.
If they were women being groped and spoken to like that it wouldn't be funny.
@@kyriljordanov2086 if men only groped women’s arms im sure it wouldn’t be an issue. They tend to reach for more provocative places lol
@@Iluv2pm4ever Pretty sure I’d be arrested if I caressed a woman’s arm
That man that stopped to actually try to speak calmly to the vet almost had me in tears.
Re: vet with the grinder:
It's heartbreaking to see how hard someone will fight to decline essential treatment for fear of the bill
It happens all the time here in California
I feel sorry for you guys, healthcare should be accessible to everyone.
American freedoms I guess 😒

When she felt up his muscles I lost it💀
Thank you handsome paramedics!!! Love the way you treat the elderly!!! Thank you for your excellent service🥰

😂😂😂
😂😂right!
Definitely!!!!!
😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup! LOL 🤣
The splinter lady realizing if your in EMS there are rules you are required to follow has to be one of the funniest reactions I've seen on this show
I'm glad someone else noticed.
EMT’s can’t, but what about paramedics? They generally go through more schooling and certifications.
Well if even emt's can use tweezers or forceps to pull something out just not with a needle. You don't have to be a paramedic
Ohhhh my, the woman at the end was a riot. I feel like it's the interactions like that that make it all worth it. I hope she gets to try molly one day haha
This is about passion for wanting to help others in need when there is that the slighest chance for saving lives. It is a true calling.
I live in Canada where medical cares are free, it's sad that some people hesitate so much to get treated because of the medical bills.
Even if it's free, I always hesitate and wait to see if it passes before getting help. I can't imagine having to worry about the money too !
