It just strikes me how polite they are all about everything - they ask permission before doing anything, even something as simple as checking vitals. Also the concern about reaching out to the patients family and getting in contact with someone about a patients animal - just very considerate of them
I like how they ask for permission to do stuff. I'm sure they're upset that the ambulance there is there anyway and if they just start poking you with needles and pumping this cuff up on your arm it's probly guarantee to stress them out more, so by asking they kind of alleviate that extra stress. I enjoy these episodes also and like the updates at the end. 🙂
is it really not like that where you are? I live in Australia and every paramedic experience i've had was similar to this, they'd tell you what they were gonna do before they did it, explained their actions, asked if they could do certain things, let me ride in the ambulance with them and my grandma twice, they have all been lovely to work with
This isn't as anxiety inducing as watching Night Watch, there's something calming about how they handle situations that I don't get from watching American shows. Everything is so stressful here in the states, it's extremely hard to watch half the things they show.
Another thing that got me is the time they were able to spend to do diagnosis, and the amount of care they'd spend on pain management before trying to get them . I was a volunteer first responder for two years (in the USA), and most of the calls were very clear cut, dire situations, that practically forced us to just get the patients to the hospital as quickly and as comfortably as possible. I think a lot of it comes down to the differences in the way people are billed for healthcare. Here, you call an ambulance, and if your insurance doesn't cover it well, you're looking at a $2k ambulance bill, sometimes even more. So even for things like heart attacks people are willing to have a friend or family member drive them to the hospital instead of having to pay that later.
Poor mom looks absolutely exhausted . I feel for her, it is so hard when your little one has a chronic illness. My heart goes out to the little one and his mom.
I love paramedics so much. I remember once after an OD attempt on my way to the hospital, one of the paramedics told me that I will have to meet him after I recover because he loves meeting people he's saved from OD attempt after they recover, I loved it when he said "after I recover". It felt good to know that he was positive I was going to recover.
Scientifically a dog can help all forms of ailments, not bleeding out obviously, but even cancer can be lessened by a dog, now its because the happier you are the more likely you are to overcome the ailment, but dogs can also sense it early in some cases, making them little guardian angels in most cases, or big, whatever kind of dog you have
That taxi driver is such a sweetheart! He probably lost quite a bit of income by staying by her side instead of continuing his shift - but he just wanted to make sure she was ok and not alone. I wish him the best, we really need more sweet caring people like him around, they are the invisible every day heros that just makes it a better world to be in.
The driver was a friend. And KNEW that the scratch could be very serious. That's why he staid. I suffer with lymphedema. Which leads to chronic cellulitis and lymphorrhea. Which has lead me to bed bound for over a year. Lymphedema is Hell on wheels.
Imagine feeling comfortable calling the paramedics during an emergency without worrying about the thousands of dollars an ambulance ride is even with insurance. This comment was brought to you by an American.
I do hope that the current situation helps Americans to look at how things can be done differently. It is no accident that the rest of the industrialized world has managed COVID so much better. Universal medicine has a LOT to do with it, as does the cultural shift towards understanding that the measure of a society is their weakest member, not their strongest. The concept of social capitol is foreign to Americans. The thinking elsewhere is that raising the members of our society are struggling that actually benefits us. Raising up others raises ourselves too. Not to mention that the cost of healthcare is massively higher than everywhere else. It’s worth giving up our freedom to carry a gun to be able to walk down the street safely, and we save money on police and healthcare makes universal healthcare possible. The US spends the same amount of money per capita on healthcare as Canada and the UK do. There are few things that we do worse on, and we sure do WAY better in a situation like a pandemic. Our public health departments are relatively well funded, and have some real power, such as re-allocating funds in a crisis, shutting down schools, parks etc. We figured out a long time ago that cutting health department costs twice as much in healthcare, policing, social services etc. etc. The US has very little community based public healthcare infrastructure, and they have little control. I bet everyone wishes that they has put just a tiny bit more money there, because not having that insurance is turning out to be really, really expensive.
I was thinking about that with the little boy. Three times in one day? For seizures lasting less than five minutes?! You can't do that here unless you're a millionaire!
My sister once rode in the ambulance in America because she passed out on a city bus. She had super low blood sugar and just had given blood. The ride costed her $2000 with insurance. It’s really messed up.
I almost cried during the segment with the old lady, I was so worried she wouldn’t make it. The “am I gonna be alright” made me feel so sad for her. I just can’t stand it when innocent, adorable, elderly people are in danger or in trouble.
Abluances are expensive. I got really confused on why they would take it 3 times in one day. That's several thousand for just one trip. Unless it was at a school the ambulance would not have been called and they would just keep the kid at the hospital.
yes, very much, i once passed out of dehydration, was sent to the hospital to rehydrate. Spend an hr or 2 waiting for them to confirm it was dehydration and nothing else, just hooked up to a drip line with a liter of water and exited the hospital with bills of between 1k-3k USD i think,it mightve been more but none the less hiGHly unreasonable. Used to live in canada, and as i still have citizenship there, will probably eventually move back

Their composure alone fascinates me, I get really nervous if I can't park my car properly, let alone drive an ambulance. Their high rate of sensitivity to the people they are dealing with amazes me.

When I was 9 I had a really bad asthma attack and I had to ride in an ambulance for the first time and one of the paramedics gave me a rainbow beanie bag bear and I just remember them being really nice about everything.
They said the kid has been suffering with seizures for years. If their healthcare system is so great, why isn't the kid on anti-seizure medication so that he won't need an ambulance trip to the hospital in the first place? SMH
@@comfortouch They might have been. We don’t know. Seizures can still happen despite medication. Also, many medications that work the best aren’t approved for young children.

Being from America and watching the way that these people run the ambulance service is incredible! They're so kind and gentle with these people even just some of the things they use seem so much easier for example the way they're ambulance is built to get the stretcher on to the ambulance and everything.

It's good to know that there are still good people in the world, he didn't have to stay it was a minor injury and the ambulance service was already called and he very easily could have went back out to make more money but he stayed with her to make sure she was okay. That's so sweet
@@Monk-eee2 when she said 9/10 for pain scale, then was chatting normally in the ambulance, I thought "I don't think you know what real pain feels like if you can chat during a "9".." 😅
Poor little Tyler and his mom! I hope he's doing well now. My son had febrile seizures when he was little, too, and it was rough. He finally grew out of them, but those sleepless nights whenever he was sick...OMG you don't forget that. That fear went bone deep.
When i was about 1.5 years old i lost breath and went unconsoius back and forward and the ambulance came there about like 45 seconds after called. -Sweden
My cousins' father had a heart attack during the night, my aunt called the ambulance and they arrived like 3hrs later. - Costa Rica Needless to say, he died
I wish we'd be offered pain relief straight away in America. Nope, you'll go over the bumpiest of roads in agony. My appendix burst, yes burst and I had to wait until after I'd arrived and waited for a doctor. I'll tell you I've never cursed so loudly and ad much in my life. Then or since.
@@lourias um what? I was just sharing a similar experience of back throw outs involving couches and not vigorous activity like doctors assume. I always felt stupid that that's all it took for my back to go into extreme spasm. I just felt kinship with someone else who it didnt take much to hurt their back. Not sure where the confusion happened.
When I got sick with gallstones and had to have emergency surgery, I took a cab to the hospital. The cabbie didn't know where the hospital was, WTF!! He also charged extra for all the times he had to pull over so I could puke. At least when I got to the hospital the doctor gave me pain meds immediately. I was out for the better part of 4 days
@@rachelmartin3631 i am so sorry they did that to you! I know how horrible gallstones are and the vomiting is uncontrollable so i cant believe he made you pay extra
MrT 06 I think they meant free health care here in the US, a quick trip to the hospital without having to pay. Most people drive to the hospital because they don’t want to pay for an ambulance. If we had universal health care it would be much easier and less stressful on patients.
@@alexisstephens9352 I agree. We are starting 5o get some ambulances like this in my area but they are usually down in the capital city instead of the smaller towns. The smaller towns get the older box type ambulances
I love this. It reminds me of another show I watched called "999, what's your emergency?" I'm proud of the first responders. Keep up the marvelous work, guys!
Oh my goodness watching this as an American and it shows the street view I’m like” what are you doing? You’re gonna crash, you idiot!” And then I’m like 👁👄👁
They are so good with kids!!!! I love these people they are so polite and ask before they do anything and gives praise constantly. They even have small talk to calm patients down and is amazing!
Seeing all the Americans here saying all they could think of was how expensive this would be in the US makes me sad. I really hope the situation will eventually change over there, having to worry about expenses and debts because you needed to call an ambulance isn't acceptable. Much love to you all ❤️
In america, it depends on insurance. Some will pay for full ride, some for part, some none at all. Also depends on how the specific ambulance company bills - mine bills by level of care - whether or not a paramedic was needed, while some bill on miles driven and supplies used.
Dam, If that kid had those issue in the usa 3 trips in an Ambulance would be about 100k per trip then the Hospital bed for 3 times oh god. To much money.
in my area it's 3k-5k and some change without insurance i never call the ambulance unless i have no other choice. but that is also cause I live 1 min driving from the hospital if that it's a 15- 30 min walk i think can't remember. so without insurance it would be 9 -15k in ambulance fees alone. i was in hospital for 3 days in two separate hospitals. one stay was 18k and the other as 31k the one that cost more was worse in terms of everything but medical equipment. i have health insurance from the state and i'm classed as medically frail which gets me an even better state plan. which is actually really good so i didn't have to pay a dime and i have no copays (most of the time and then the most i payed was 8 dollars). but there still is some major holes in it when it comes to dental and vision. but the medical is really good. which is what we should have everywhere in the states it's better than any medical health insurance I've ever had to date. i genuinely wish for them to install better government health care everywhere so we don't have to worry about the cost of the ambulance or the hospital when we need it. because it's a human right to have access to healthcare.
My mom just hauled down to the hospital when my dad had ketoacidosis, was throwing up out the window the entire ride there. Got no money for an ambulance in the US lmao. (He almost passed, but hes okay now)
Elsie, the 9-month-old, was absolutely adorable!!! I live in metro Atlanta and have a complex medical history. I've been to the ER numerous times. Until recently, never by ambulance. My husband called for an ambulance due to complications following a very serious spinal surgery. I was treated so badly, the people from the fire department (who arrived first) apologized to me before they even got the door closed on the ambulance. It was so traumatic, I had my husband swear to do whatever it takes to keep me from ever being subjected to an ambulance again. The really sad thought is that I'm sure I'm not the only person they have treated so badly. The difference between how I was treated, and the respect the British Ambulance Service show to patients and their families (including furry family members!) is like night and day. I've never seen any hint of anything other than kindness and compassion. I commend every single one of these team members.
When I fell and shattered my elbow, I asked them to not turn on the ambulance light cause at the time, I thought it was just dislocated. I think they complied because I didn’t hear them. I also denied iv pain meds. Huge mistake. I almost puked due to pain. Yikes. I also tried to get into the Er bed by myself. Nope, they had to pick me up and place me. Big ordeal
@@lilq-tip8547 That's for when an ambulance is rushing urgently and thus not driving within normal rules. I think the other person's comment implies that they were asking the ambulance to not worry about driving in a rush in the first place.
I’m Canadian and I’ve been taken to the hospital twice in an ambulance. Both times I had to have emergency surgery and both times the ambulance crew were AWFUL to me. I’m not sure what they thought was happening but they were downright nasty/rude to me and my family. I wish I had one of these nice and caring professionals to help me during a traumatic time.
In the U.S, they don’t care about home much it hurts. With the one girl they gave her a couple minutes, here they just have you get up onto the stretcher and say, “ this may hurt a little”😭
I mean you have a shitty health care System.in General. I would say that people prefere to go to hospital by car and call the ambulance only if its really bad
When someone needs help, then they need it whether it’s a dislocated knee cap, broken leg, broken arm, chest pains, seizures, sick, whatever the case may be. The callers who fake things, the fake calls are the ones that anger me.
@@LeeAngelo92 911 is the emergency service that connects you with the ambulance, police and fire. There's no specific line to call to get the ambulance directly.
So nice of the Taxi Driver to stay and take care of the Elderly Lady that cut her leg, and wait for the ambulance too get there, and then to Stop by and check that She was doing okay the next day😱😃 We need more compassionate, and caring people to Drive Taxis, in the World Today! GREAT JOB! You are an AMAZING MAN!👍🏽
I wish the US would use nitrous it would make such an improvement when you’re in pain and you’re just sitting there in the ER and nobody’s doing anything in your in a intense pain it really would
You sure don’t get nothing until you see a doctor in er and blood work and pee pee test ex ray ! Then maybe if your lucky you might get something for pain if they feel you need ! USA don’t care about people any more
@@marywagner9927 then you have never called for EMTs to your home ! Well I have and they treat you like your a burden and living alone and not having not one soul in your life who care you need someone to be kind and understanding well you won’t get that in the USA ok
@@MargaretHill65_ actually, I have called them to my home. And each time I have been treated with the utmost care and respect. I’m sorry you have not. But it is unfair to generalize about an entire country based on your personal experience. Again, I will take the US any day over Britain.
None of my family could believe my resting heart rate was 120, so they all measured their own and they were completely normal. Every time my heart rate goes below 80 it’s a miracle.
The only time I have ever had to have 911 called was when I had a persistent SVT episode. Florence's case was so lovely to see. The paramedics (USA) were just as lovely as Lars and Colin. I had just had a baby a few days before and was stuck on the floor half dressed unable to get up without passing out, heart rate around 200. They were respectful, kind and encouraging. Thankfully the drugs they had with them corrected the SVT without an ambulance trip and the condition was manageable with medication. The drug they used was WILD, though. Man.
Aw Florence’s pajamas were so cute... seems like such a sweet old lady... I also struggle with a fast pulse (I’m only 16 but still) due to my anxiety disorders and some of the psychiatric medications I take, my pulse is usually at least 110 or 115 but it is often higher...
I'm curious how different this is to First Responders in the US.They really seem to take their time with their patients. I get the impression that here in the US they are just really trying to cycle through as many patients as they can very quickly.
I love Joan so much. Also yeah I'm moving to the UK asap bc this treatment is luxury and the mindset that the unwell are poorly rather than a burden?? My oh my
I love that a nine on the pain scale is sitting there chilling on the ambulance ride to the hospital. A true 9 would have some sort of visible sign of pain

When the lady with the moped and knee injury started crying I almost did as well. I broke my meniscus and I can still remember the pain.
how you doing today ?
She had a scrap and a bruise...you on the other hand had an actual injury!
She cried due to her being scared of hospitals.
Hey It's Julia I felt for her as well. Ive had multiple dislocations to both knees, torn ACL, torn MCL. Anything knee related makes me so anxious.
@@Monk-eee2 when she said 9/10 for pain scale, then was chatting normally in the ambulance, I thought "I don't think you know what real pain feels like if you can chat during a "9".." 😅
Poor little Tyler and his mom! I hope he's doing well now. My son had febrile seizures when he was little, too, and it was rough. He finally grew out of them, but those sleepless nights whenever he was sick...OMG you don't forget that. That fear went bone deep.
When i was about 1.5 years old i lost breath and went unconsoius back and forward and the ambulance came there about like 45 seconds after called. -Sweden
They were probably right round the corner! Very convenient.

My cousins' father had a heart attack during the night, my aunt called the ambulance and they arrived like 3hrs later. - Costa Rica
Needless to say, he died
@@111111444444444 very sad to hear that. i’m sorry for you loss and i wish you and your family all the love and support
I wish we'd be offered pain relief straight away in America. Nope, you'll go over the bumpiest of roads in agony. My appendix burst, yes burst and I had to wait until after I'd arrived and waited for a doctor. I'll tell you I've never cursed so loudly and ad much in my life. Then or since.
That's awful, I'm sorry.
@@lourias Dude, the last time I threw my back out, all I did was get UP from the couch. Sheesh eh?
@@lourias um what? I was just sharing a similar experience of back throw outs involving couches and not vigorous activity like doctors assume. I always felt stupid that that's all it took for my back to go into extreme spasm. I just felt kinship with someone else who it didnt take much to hurt their back. Not sure where the confusion happened.
When I got sick with gallstones and had to have emergency surgery, I took a cab to the hospital. The cabbie didn't know where the hospital was, WTF!! He also charged extra for all the times he had to pull over so I could puke. At least when I got to the hospital the doctor gave me pain meds immediately. I was out for the better part of 4 days
@@rachelmartin3631 i am so sorry they did that to you! I know how horrible gallstones are and the vomiting is uncontrollable so i cant believe he made you pay extra
I wish we had ambulances like this in America it would be a lot easier to maneuver.... especially with trauma patients.
MrT 06 I think they meant free health care here in the US, a quick trip to the hospital without having to pay. Most people drive to the hospital because they don’t want to pay for an ambulance. If we had universal health care it would be much easier and less stressful on patients.
I work in EMS Ik what our ambulances look like, I was referring to the space and the ramp. Everyone on this app takes everything defensively, relax!
Their ambulances are so nice! The ramp! 😮 and I like they’re a bright yellow. It would be a lot easier to see them faster on the road.
@@alexisstephens9352 I agree. We are starting 5o get some ambulances like this in my area but they are usually down in the capital city instead of the smaller towns. The smaller towns get the older box type ambulances
I just stumbled across this and I love it I watch a lot of nightwatch but I think I found myself a new fav show while stuck at home
Of all the ambulance trips I've had in the past four years, I've never had such good and caring service as all these folks give. They're so good.
The dog protecting their owner is the best part
Omg what a sweetheart that dog is just love it,minding his owner,watching every m9ve bless him ❤
that taxi driver is so amazing. staying with her to make sure she was okay.
I love this. It reminds me of another show I watched called "999, what's your emergency?" I'm proud of the first responders. Keep up the marvelous work, guys!
Oh my goodness watching this as an American and it shows the street view I’m like” what are you doing? You’re gonna crash, you idiot!” And then I’m like 👁👄👁
They are so good with kids!!!! I love these people they are so polite and ask before they do anything and gives praise constantly. They even have small talk to calm patients down and is amazing!
Seeing all the Americans here saying all they could think of was how expensive this would be in the US makes me sad.
I really hope the situation will eventually change over there, having to worry about expenses and debts because you needed to call an ambulance isn't acceptable.
Much love to you all ❤️
All i can think about is how expensive an ambulance ride is...
I belive it's free in the uk. You don't have to pay.
it’s hecking expensive my dad had to ride one when he injured his pelvis and it’s like $14,000 adding in to hospital bills like surgery and more
It’s not free anywhere. You pay for it in taxes instead
@@FartassVolfgangus well yes but you don't have to pay a large sum of money if you need one. But yes, you are correct.
In america, it depends on insurance. Some will pay for full ride, some for part, some none at all. Also depends on how the specific ambulance company bills - mine bills by level of care - whether or not a paramedic was needed, while some bill on miles driven and supplies used.
Dam, If that kid had those issue in the usa 3 trips in an Ambulance would be about 100k per trip then the Hospital bed for 3 times oh god. To much money.
MrT 06 yes but the cost of a bed is astronomical also 1-5k is still an insane amount for a Emergency ride
@@Tyler-zw4kq yeah its more like 1k i believe
It’s 3,000 for one trip
in my area it's 3k-5k and some change without insurance i never call the ambulance unless i have no other choice. but that is also cause I live 1 min driving from the hospital if that it's a 15- 30 min walk i think can't remember. so without insurance it would be 9 -15k in ambulance fees alone. i was in hospital for 3 days in two separate hospitals. one stay was 18k and the other as 31k the one that cost more was worse in terms of everything but medical equipment. i have health insurance from the state and i'm classed as medically frail which gets me an even better state plan. which is actually really good so i didn't have to pay a dime and i have no copays (most of the time and then the most i payed was 8 dollars). but there still is some major holes in it when it comes to dental and vision. but the medical is really good. which is what we should have everywhere in the states it's better than any medical health insurance I've ever had to date. i genuinely wish for them to install better government health care everywhere so we don't have to worry about the cost of the ambulance or the hospital when we need it. because it's a human right to have access to healthcare.
MrT 06 it’s usually goes from 1,500 US dollars to 1,000
My mom just hauled down to the hospital when my dad had ketoacidosis, was throwing up out the window the entire ride there. Got no money for an ambulance in the US lmao. (He almost passed, but hes okay now)
Elsie, the 9-month-old, was absolutely adorable!!!
I live in metro Atlanta and have a complex medical history. I've been to the ER numerous times. Until recently, never by ambulance. My husband called for an ambulance due to complications following a very serious spinal surgery.
I was treated so badly, the people from the fire department (who arrived first) apologized to me before they even got the door closed on the ambulance. It was so traumatic, I had my husband swear to do whatever it takes to keep me from ever being subjected to an ambulance again. The really sad thought is that I'm sure I'm not the only person they have treated so badly.
The difference between how I was treated, and the respect the British Ambulance Service show to patients and their families (including furry family members!) is like night and day. I've never seen any hint of anything other than kindness and compassion. I commend every single one of these team members.
"She scratched her leg" WTH? It looked like a huge stab wound!
When I fell and shattered my elbow, I asked them to not turn on the ambulance light cause at the time, I thought it was just dislocated. I think they complied because I didn’t hear them. I also denied iv pain meds. Huge mistake. I almost puked due to pain. Yikes. I also tried to get into the Er bed by myself. Nope, they had to pick me up and place me. Big ordeal
The point of an ambulance is lights and sound because if a deaf person was driving they didn’t see the lights they would not stop
@@lilq-tip8547 That's for when an ambulance is rushing urgently and thus not driving within normal rules. I think the other person's comment implies that they were asking the ambulance to not worry about driving in a rush in the first place.
Adventures With Playdonut45 i dont think a deaf person would be driving..
RobloxLiveChannel many deaf people drive
RobloxLiveChannel many deaf people drive actually!
I’m Canadian and I’ve been taken to the hospital twice in an ambulance. Both times I had to have emergency surgery and both times the ambulance crew were AWFUL to me. I’m not sure what they thought was happening but they were downright nasty/rude to me and my family. I wish I had one of these nice and caring professionals to help me during a traumatic time.
I hope you reported them. That’s awful.
The first lady with her adorable sheep pyjamas melted my heart 🥺
"do you wanna try this gas some more? cause its good stuff..." hahahahaha sounds like my drug dealer
Lmaooo same I was thinking if I were her I would’ve taken full advantage of that gas lmao
Nobody:
Me: The frickin ambulance is standard! That's so baddass lol
Yeah the Uk doesn't really have a lot of automatic transmissions.
Patch is the most amazing dog ever, huge credit to him💛💛💛🤩🤩 I love him 😍
That baby girl is soooo adorable. Also Steve the taxi driver what a sweetheart.
Prayers that Florence is OK and her good boy Patch was able to be with her for years more.
I like the way they let the viewers know what the end results were for the patients, I hate not knowing :-)
In the U.S, they don’t care about home much it hurts. With the one girl they gave her a couple minutes, here they just have you get up onto the stretcher and say, “ this may hurt a little”😭
Yeah America is kind of like with Ems hold still this will only hurt a lot but I think it’s just a cultural thing
I mean at least they're trying to help you, pain is better then death
I mean you have a shitty health care System.in General. I would say that people prefere to go to hospital by car and call the ambulance only if its really bad
When I dislocated my knee 3 weeks ago they didn't give me any pain medicine... Nothing at all... And they said the same exact thing..
That’s a wild generalization-sounds like you may have had a bad experience but let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.
"You're a block of cheese, and the road is a cheese grater." Never thought of it that way until today. How realistically true.
When someone needs help, then they need it whether it’s a dislocated knee cap, broken leg, broken arm, chest pains, seizures, sick, whatever the case may be. The callers who fake things, the fake calls are the ones that anger me.
I need to know Florence is okay. She's the British grandma I never knew I needed.
I love the Medics from the UK they are so kind
I got confused for a second when they said "a 999 call" cause im American and expected 911
999 is their emergency call. It's different from here. We call 911 for ambulance. They call 999 for theirs
Cassandra Scott 911 is emergency service not ambulance
@@LeeAngelo92 911 is the emergency service that connects you with the ambulance, police and fire. There's no specific line to call to get the ambulance directly.
Same cuz I’m Canadian lol
We're all too american for this
Steve The Taxi Driver deserves a raise and huge respect!!
You know what, I don't even care that I don't live where these guys live. I'm just happier knowing that this kind of person even exists.
I am so Michelle with Elsie....seizing the chance to hold and play with the baby!!!
Most say “ Hello are you ok “ I just love these paramedics ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you to all paramedics UK and USA
MRBOOOYA, they have paramedics pretty much everywhere. Not just the USA and the U.K.
Got recommended my first video forty minutes ago, but didnt realize it was 40 minutes long until the end. I love this channel.
They are so nice and comforting, even I feel at ease with everything now.
So nice of the Taxi Driver to stay and take care of the Elderly Lady that cut her leg, and wait for the ambulance too get there, and then to Stop by and check that She was doing okay the next day😱😃
We need more compassionate, and caring people to Drive Taxis, in the World Today!
GREAT JOB! You are an AMAZING MAN!👍🏽
I find it cute they wave at each other...when my grandpa would go on trips in his motorhome he'd wave at every one also driving a motorhome
The possibility of a dislocated knee makes my ears ring 😬🚫😬😭😭
I dislocate mine every day so I’m used to the pain
June Sank why wtf
June Sank YO WTF 😰
I dislocated my knee once but it was bad and my knee cap got lodged 3 inches from where it was supposed to be, worst pain ever
@@junesank803 eds?
I wish the US would use nitrous it would make such an improvement when you’re in pain and you’re just sitting there in the ER and nobody’s doing anything in your in a intense pain it really would
You sure don’t get nothing until you see a doctor in er and blood work and pee pee test ex ray ! Then maybe if your lucky you might get something for pain if they feel you need ! USA don’t care about people any more
Except patients with COPD and nitrous don't mix.
Best part is where they were waving to one another 😂👍
Hospital help is great and ambulance crew too.
Who else yawned when they both yawned
Not me, I'm immune to contagious yawns.
Ellie Wat-Han I yawned after reading this comment 😂
33:56 I just have to applaud the dad for just strolling about in that robe, on national TV. Good on you, mate!
"they've been on shift since tea time"
Me, an American: ??????? When is this mythical tea time????? 👁️👄👁️
It means dinner time in the UK and many of the Commonwealth countries
That must be 4 pm right? Brits, help us out here!
@@tobitaktlos3241 you can litetally just google it

The first old lady is such a sweetheart I hope she is okay poor thing❤
Its really sucks that I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and we don't have EMT'S that have this kind of passion toward each and every patients.
Teeshia Dunbar Yes we do. And for all of you bashing America’s health system - well, I will take the USA over Britain ANY day.
@@marywagner9927 then you have never called for EMTs to your home ! Well I have and they treat you like your a burden and living alone and not having not one soul in your life who care you need someone to be kind and understanding well you won’t get that in the USA ok
@@MargaretHill65_ actually, I have called them to my home. And each time I have been treated with the utmost care and respect. I’m sorry you have not. But it is unfair to generalize about an entire country based on your personal experience. Again, I will take the US any day over Britain.
Props to the taxi driver who checked on the lady, who they didn’t even really know!
As someone with POTS hearing people freak out about a heart rate over 150 is just like, "LOL so like, Wednesday?"
I sitting here saying it’s just SVT😂
@@br6480 my HR hit 169 the other day and my first thought was "lol, **nice**." And THEN I thought "I guess I should sit down or something??"
@@Palitato 😂😂😂
Was thinking the same thing 😂
None of my family could believe my resting heart rate was 120, so they all measured their own and they were completely normal. Every time my heart rate goes below 80 it’s a miracle.
Elsie the baby was just smiling the whole time awwwwwwww🥺🥺🥰🥰
I’ve been binge watching this series. Love it
The only time I have ever had to have 911 called was when I had a persistent SVT episode. Florence's case was so lovely to see. The paramedics (USA) were just as lovely as Lars and Colin. I had just had a baby a few days before and was stuck on the floor half dressed unable to get up without passing out, heart rate around 200. They were respectful, kind and encouraging. Thankfully the drugs they had with them corrected the SVT without an ambulance trip and the condition was manageable with medication. The drug they used was WILD, though. Man.
Aw Florence’s pajamas were so cute... seems like such a sweet old lady... I also struggle with a fast pulse (I’m only 16 but still) due to my anxiety disorders and some of the psychiatric medications I take, my pulse is usually at least 110 or 115 but it is often higher...
LOVE how polite they are! When they wave they use all their fingers! As a PMFF in Detroit back in the day NOT SO MUCH...LOL!
"third trip in ambulance today" cries in American because I'd be in debt for the rest of my life
Lol the guy in the zebra print robe really clashes with the wall paper !!
Okay but thats very sweet of Steve to check in the next day
This show is like an extension of "Inside The Ambulance" (which I'm hooked on)- and I Iove it! Greetings from NYC!! 😍🤗💗🌷
It is the same show but with a different title.
@@tamaraj4200 ok thank you, I didn't know
I'm curious how different this is to First Responders in the US.They really seem to take their time with their patients. I get the impression that here in the US they are just really trying to cycle through as many patients as they can very quickly.
Just casually waving to the other ambulances as they save dying people. LMFO I'm dying!
I also wish they showed the aftermath, like what happened to the patients in hospital and what the issues were
they explain at the end
Yes...they give an update on each patient at the very end of each video.
@@angelfromhellshawna not a the patients though. We didn't get updates about the woman with the SVT or the baby girl with breathing issues
Lol I love how he pushed the (nitrous oxide?) to them. "You sure? It's really good stuff!" 😍👌💪
Alot of so called prank calls aren't prank calls but people who get caught by their abuser before they can get through
Really good point
I love Joan so much. Also yeah I'm moving to the UK asap bc this treatment is luxury and the mindset that the unwell are poorly rather than a burden?? My oh my
I love that a nine on the pain scale is sitting there chilling on the ambulance ride to the hospital. A true 9 would have some sort of visible sign of pain
lol i was thinking the same thing. it doesn’t look like a 9 at all...but some people can hide pain pretty good
Depends on your pain tolerance
Florence, I absolutely LOVE your sheepy PJs! Feel better luv!
Has been on shift since “tea time “
Well that settles it for us Americans lol
