I absolutely love this show, more than you could possibly know. Because of this show I met with a Flight for Life nurse where I live in Colorado and now I'm looking into paramedic school. :)
It's kind of amazing what just stepping on a slippery surface can do to an ankle. When I was in my 30's, I stepped on glare ice and broken both bones in my ankle and snapped the tendon that encircles the bones. I was taken to the very small local hospital, splinted and given pain meds, then sent to the nearest big hospital where I was told there were no beds available. From there, I was taken to a hospital near where I lived. They were going to put on a temporary cast and send me home until they could work me in. I started to cry and told them I wasn't going anywhere. They looked at the x-ray and someone said, "Oh, Jeez!" They admitted me and operated first thing in the morning. I fell at 4:00 in the afternoon and didn't get into a hospital bed until midnight. That's the US for you.
The head in crash made me sad. This past Thursday a man I know died in a head on when his truck caught on fire and burned him to death. 57 is too.young to perish! RIP Bob!
I remember being in 3rd grade a breaking 2 ribs by falling off of an 8 foot high platform. Went to the hospital and they were relieved to see my spleen was okay. However, they sent me home to heal with no pain relief whatsoever. That was EXCRUCIATING.
There’s an opioid freakout in progress, still. I have to take them for chronic neck pain, I have three opposing sets of hardware in there, and my last operation was excruciating in that they refused to control my pain in hospital. I had to get home to the extra meds I’d saved up over the years. I had a doc say “my sister died from an overdose..” I held up my hand, said “get me your supervisor..I’m not your sister, sorry for your loss, but I’m the one with pain now.” Opioids work, they’re better for your liver and kidneys and gut (I took ibuprofen until my gut looked like “a boiled lobster” according to my gastro guy) than ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but because of the illicit trade, patients must suffer.
Very interesting indeed. Loved seeing the Flying Scotsman. I've always been fascinated by that famous locomotive. Years ago I had an HO scale model of Flying Scotsman from Triang-Horby.
I can concur on the ribs being one of the most painful injuries- and what sucks is that there is nothing they can do about it. Just has to heal by itself. In my case, I smashed 4 of my ribs in a horse riding accident when I was 18- I'm 40 now and I STILL feel the pain there. Makes wearing a bra an absolute nightmare.
@real responders I'm a little bit confused🤐🙄 why are you using for trauma patients morphine as a analgesic?!??? Using Ketamine or/with Fentanyl would much more effective.....
Beacuse typically you start with weaker medicine like morphine even tylenol in some cases and then build to ketamine or fentanyl if the morphine isnt enough

I'm sorry you had to go through that, but you're right, that's the US.
And that’s not the medical bills you continue to receive..
34:03 the smile of the ambulance woman says it all, she felt amazing by cutting the chain because se is a decent person.
This series is interesting even though I feel for all the people and their pain thanks

Is there anyway you could follow up with the patients??? I watch lots of these shows but you guys never follow up.

Zazur crash 💥
Broke or damaged 8 vertebra multiple discs. 1986, been in pain ever since.
The Army sent me back to duty with Motrin.
Soooo sorry
Yeah, I ruined my gut with that and finally got opioid scrips.
