I am in Australia. I was in the ER here with a banged up knee and a man was brought in with cardiac arrest. His heart would start and stop and there must have been 15 people all around him, fighting to save his life. They had a rotating team of six doctors and nurses each taking it in turns to do CPR for 100 cycles. They never gave up. Finally, after 40 minutes, his heart started again and he recovered. I got up to go to the toilet and passed his curtain. There was this little nurse kneeling beside him and she was praying. Now I'm an atheist, but it was the most moving, intimate and private scene I have witnessed in my long life.
They are, but in the US you pay a fortune for the service that the Brits pay nothing for at the point of service. They pay through taxes of course, but still as a nation, they pay way less than the US for their health care. Way less. That is, in the end they end up paying less for universal coverage than Americans pay for insurances & care. That is, the universal system can be funded either by insurance or taxes, but the thing is this: one does not pay anything meaningful on top of the insurance/tax when one gets sick.
@@samhartford8677 I'm here in the US, too, and I'm sure that was part of Jeanne's point. Plus, they are so polite to the patients, asking before touching is a huge thing, we don't get that here. A whole lot of our rich people here pay less of a percentage in taxes that the working class does, and the for profit medical care system truly is about profit.
@@cynhanrahan4012 I'm in Canada and I don't pay for health care either. No premiums (although some provinces still have premiums for maybe around %80 a month). It's reassuring to have surgery and not be burdened financially as well. The US needs a do-over to benefit the citizens, but sadly I can't see that happening when it's so fragmented between political parties and state administrations doing their own thing. It would be difficult to flip it when there is such a huge population as well.
I was 17 when I was caring in hospital ward for elderly patients when I was holding a sick older womans hand when she passed away, I prayed for her while I prepared her bed and after when I came home I cried because that was so sad 😢
When Sophie introduced herself to the other nurse, it was so pure. Sometimes adults have a difficult time introducing themselves unprompted to strangers, so I always admire those who are brave enough to break the ice. 💞
That nurse is so sweet, if I lost someone that’s who I would want around so much respect for the dead and the way she was talking to them was so sweet.
As a retired nurse, having worked in geriatrics and oncology most of my career in one form or another, and finally ending as a Hospice nurse, I was pleased to hear that young nurse's final farewell to the patient who expired there. I can still remember each of my firsts...first family member, first young person code, first elderly patient. It takes time to process each first, but then, the saying good-bye for the family & for myself was improved on & processed in a safe manner that went a long way to easing the pain.
Bernard is lucky to have a daughter like you Cassie, sadly my brother refused to give up the drinking and he passed away over 7 years ago, he died at the age of 48 way too young to go and he refused to give up so we knew he was going to die, I hope the outcome for you Cassie was a better more positive one. I cried listening to his story
I really got when the nurse talked seeing her first death @17-18 I saw my first death @ age 4 my dad was a volunteer EMT and we happened on a car wreck with a girl about my same age I remember watching my dad do CPR and I will never forget her color these were the days before 911 so he put her in truck and drove her to fire station she didn't make it the next death I saw was at 16 as a CNA I always knew I would be a nurse been 1 for 25+ yrs I have worked geriatrics/psych/ E.R but there are moments tht get stuck in your head frozen in time in great detail
Greetings from a very sleepy town amidst acres of corn in Iowa! Ooo I bet you have your hands full ! I think we the audience feel that way too, actually, but without having to lift a finger and get personal Big respects, hats off to you and EMTs for sure. (And some docs...) lol.
He could at least be grateful for all the free medical he receives after his drinking spree ..wow, he’d still be on the street if he was over the pond!
If you haven't watched that episode itself too it will break your heart even more, the girl was severely burned and her dad comforted her the whole time in the hospital despite having his hands badly burnt himself.
That’s one of the most selfish things I heard a person addicted to a substance is that everybody has their own life. When you become a parent, you become a part of somebody else’s life and that person you’re supposed to love to the day you pass away and if you see something that is so painful in their eyes, you should try to do everything you can do to stop doing what’s causing them so much pain but the whole problem with that is that you have to stop thinking of yourself and start thinking about the other people that are in your life. At 54 years old, you know better. And I know it’s an illness believe me, my dad was an alcoholic, but he was able to stop at 55 stone cold, he never touched a drink after that. My first husband, I never stuck around long enough to find out if he ever stopped, but he ruined what could’ve been a great relationship with his first born son, in fact, they never really had a relationship because he saw him only up into the age of three years old and that’s when I moved away to Save my three year-old son from an alcoholic. You have to take responsibility of what you’re doing and the pain you’re causing other people who love you dearly with your addiction/illness.
I feel for cassie, I grew up with an alcoholic person and they can't hear us. Addiction is the absolute worst, because of the power it holds over the person stuck in it's claws.
My mother who is 92 didn’t tell us she was diagnosed with a possible blood cancer. She is absolutely like the women of 82 and her daughter. Polite, doesn’t accept help, sweet, but it’s to her detriment now.
I love the mother and her daughter, she is sooo loving with her mom. My daughter n I are very close, and it's comforting to know, she will be by my side, when I get older. ❤❤❤❤😂
Those of us watching don’t know the full story or timeline. We see only a very short and highly edited portion of what is happening and what has gone on. Challenging to keep that in mind while watching.
She was panicking and he needed to calm her down. Sometimes it takes a sharp comment. He acknowledged that he was a bit sharp. He also credits his mum, as a single mum, for raising him with a sense of family. He definitely respects her.
Why didn’t the doctor use topical spray or cream or patch Lidocaine before injecting needle to drain the sweet little old lady’s knee. I have had injections to my shoulders and a knee where my orthopedic doctor/surgeon did the topical cream and the spray before he injected the steroid in my joints.
I did exactly the same thing working in a kitchen, I was holding a chefs knife and I caught the lip of a table and lost my balance. I tried to catch myself with my hands but forgot I was holding the knife so when I threw my arms up I ended up plunging the blade into the side of my thigh. It was just something that happened so fast, I remember falling down and realizing the knife was still embedded about 3-4 inches in my thigh. Working in a kitchen is incredibly fast-paced and things happen in an instant, it's easy to get hurt from just a momentary slip of focus.
Do you have defibrillators? Do you use nitro? Or is that cut out? I was shocked when I saw Ruby! Looks like my mom! Personality, work ethic and so pretty.
The woman in cardiac arrest was probably in asystole. There are 2 forms of cardiac arrest, vfib (where the heart is quivering but not beating), and asystole (where the electrical system of the heart has failed and there is no movement at all). Vfib can be shocked by a defib, asystole cannot. Asystole can only be treated by cpr and pressors like epinephrine. Once you are in asystole though your chances of survival are very low, no matter what caused the cardiac arrest.
No regrets Bernard? So breaking the heart of your family is not a regret? What a shame. This was filmed in 2012 and I'm sure he's dead now. I come from a family with all types of addicts. All addicts are selfish.
Lol, I asked a nurse that when I was in ER. I said I'm in emergency, how do you think I am. She laughed and said it's an easily answered question and lets the nurse know if you are having breathing problems, disorientation or other worries. Paramedics ask the same questions. Another one is " what's brought you in today" after the paramedic just filled them in.
He might have that type relationship with his mom where talking like that isn't so serious, but it looks like he was very stressed about being in the hospital and this mom sounded like it was making it worse.
He is just parroting their words about his drinking. He goes along with it so they stop pressuring him. It's sad, but usual, and has probably happened many times. He's a nice fellow, but all his responses to his family seem to be made just to placate them. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think he's going to dive into rehab after this hospital stint.
It's a paper thermometer. It has chemicals (but nontoxic) on it that react to the heat of your mouth and indicate temp that way. They are disposable and very cost effective.

Brings me to tears to read about it.

Self stabbing chef meets brand new nurse under AWKWARD circumstances. Me heart is fluttering. They are so cute. Fluttering...
i’m glad it wasn’t just me lol
@@deziraeblake4938 :)
Cursing your mum for worrying about you. Not so cute.
The young lady is the perfect nurse.
I'm sure she did a lot more bandaging than was totally necessary 😂

I'm sorry, but the whole vending machine saga got a chuckle out of me for a second.
Some riveting B roll that's for sure!
The vending machines needs to be exchanged for ones. It is constantly having troubles.
Mom and daughter are both beautiful souls and wishing both of them the best.
God bless and anyone reading this..

I think James and Sophie would make a lovely couple.
Yes.
Sophie is so sweet, definitely in the right career!🙏💕🙏
We all die. I hope when I die, I have nurses and staff that are as caring as the ones at King's College.
Would love to know how Sophie’s doing. She’s lovely.
It’s been about a decade
Dont know who rruns this channel, but thank you thank you. Many positive and loving energies sent to you ❤
"Very attractive young lady" I think he meant "Absolutely drop dead gorgeous!"..:)
Cassie is a loving and caring daughter.

Bernard is in denial about his drinking. So sad.
He could at least be grateful for all the free medical he receives after his drinking spree ..wow, he’d still be on the street if he was over the pond!
Not entirely sure he wants to give up. At times I thought he was a bit sleezy due to the drink
Excellent series
Ngl the intro always low key breaks mah heart .. u know what happens when bad things happen daddies here ❤❤
If you haven't watched that episode itself too it will break your heart even more, the girl was severely burned and her dad comforted her the whole time in the hospital despite having his hands badly burnt himself.
Same! I always say it with him. Such a simple act of love can change everything.
Ruby is gorgeous!
Bernard’s family was a hoot.
I love to watch hospital videos.
James & Sophie please….would be such a beautiful little couple!

5:34 this iv needle is very painful because the orange ones are the thickest needle.... over 2mm.... it´s the biggest needle....
Mommy's little liar "All of this for one little cut" as he bleeds everywhere .
The pastry chef is kind of cute
They stopped after two minutes? I am a tad speechless. A relative on mine they worked on for 25 minutes and bought her back.
Those of us watching don’t know the full story or timeline. We see only a very short and highly edited portion of what is happening and what has gone on. Challenging to keep that in mind while watching.
They were working on her in the ambulance as well so may have been quite a while trying
No respect for a grown man who will say “ for fuck’s sake. Can you shut up! “ To his own mother. He’s totally disrespectful and way out of line!!!
She was panicking and he needed to calm her down. Sometimes it takes a sharp comment. He acknowledged that he was a bit sharp. He also credits his mum, as a single mum, for raising him with a sense of family. He definitely respects her.
It was the equivalent of slapping the face of an hysterical woman ..nothing personal 😊
@@meatavoreNanamisogyny
What sort of a chef stabs himself in the thigh!!! Lost concentration???!!! 😮😮
i know, insane
I think he was covering for someone else 🤔 Maybe? Or he lost his temper and forgot he had a paring knife in his hand lol
Yeah his reason was a bit off, usually chef would accidentally cut their hands or fingers, but thigh? And on the side ? 🤔
To the nurses and doctors he mentioned it happened chopping tomatoes but on the phone to his mum he said while sharpening the knife
funny that guy didn't know what a paring knife is
Long hours, sharp knives. Yup, that's kitchen work. 👨🍳
Why didn’t the doctor use topical spray or cream or patch Lidocaine before injecting needle to drain the sweet little old lady’s knee.
I have had injections to my shoulders and a knee where my orthopedic doctor/surgeon did the topical cream and the spray before he injected the steroid in my joints.
how on earth do you accidentally stab yourself in the leg
When you use a knife every day sometimes you kind of forget.
And a very, very sharp knife at that. The phrase “a hot knife through butter,” is absolutely correct.
I did exactly the same thing working in a kitchen, I was holding a chefs knife and I caught the lip of a table and lost my balance. I tried to catch myself with my hands but forgot I was holding the knife so when I threw my arms up I ended up plunging the blade into the side of my thigh.

@@AccidentallyOnPurpose thank you! I was always wondering about that but we’ll just call me lazy for not looking it up. Have a blessed day
Love Ruby's jammies. So colourful.
Sophie and James should get together
He was blushing, I agree
Like how they don’t edit the videos
Bernard's daughter is so rude when she's not talking to the camera!
I'm curious as to how they get permission to film these people since they are filmed from the minute they arrive.
I assume they film everything and get consent to use it as soon as practicable for those unconscious on arrival & ask first for the others
What do some of these women's take off their eyebrows like that 😅
I don ´ t like it at all.
It’s not flattering at all..very unnatural
I lost mine during chemo and they never grew back. Sometimes it's not a choice
I can't stop examining them, there's alopecia and other things where you do the best you can with what you have but damn!
Season two was filmed in 2012, maybe that was the eyebrow trend then?
Drinkers make everyones lives miserable. Not worth going down with them. Waste everyones time then just cuss people out all the time.!!!!
Like the staff in this hospital and easy to watch. But I nearly fainting just glancing at blood coming from his leg. Can't watch it at all.
No regrets Bernard? So breaking the heart of your family is not a regret? What a shame. This was filmed in 2012 and I'm sure he's dead now. I come from a family with all types of addicts. All addicts are selfish.

Is it common for hospitals in the UK to give out painkillers like candy? In the US you need to at least have like a smashed femur to get painkillers

They're British and tend to be more socially polite than perhaps those who are from elsewhere.

I liked James until he spoke to his mother so rudely, dang dude. "A bit sharp"? Nah, bruh, you told your mom to stfu. Nope.
He might have that type relationship with his mom where talking like that isn't so serious, but it looks like he was very stressed about being in the hospital and this mom sounded like it was making it worse.

What is the white thing in the mouth of the young man with the stab wound in the thigh at 8:13?
There for your tempiture
Thermometer, one that can be thrown in the bin after use.
It's a paper thermometer. It has chemicals (but nontoxic) on it that react to the heat of your mouth and indicate temp that way. They are disposable and very cost effective.
Those daughters are so nasty.
the stab-wound made me laugh. storywise it would eben fit a cheap pornproduction.
Sophie is a babe
Those eyebrows are horrifying
They're way too high up...😮 poor girl someone should tell her
Saw your comment before I got to that part and then I saw them hahahah
Don’t they use paddles and an AED to restart hearts in the UK? Did I miss something?
Unfortunately the shock doesn't restart the heart, it only helps it get back into the proper rhythm when it's beating again
Bernards family needs help with eyebrows 😮
