Haven’t gotten there yet, but I had a couple stitches in my upper lip, the ones in the red part really hurt coming out, the red part grows onto the material..
What is said in the beginning of each episode is so true. Everyone should walk through A&E once. Especially those bitching and moaning about waiting times. Let someone like that witness just one really bad case in a trauma/resus bay. And then ask them to complain just one more time about how nobody cares about their sniffles. Or the 6 months of back pain they couldn’t be arsed to see their GP about. Or that strange looking mole on your arm that you are really worried about (True story BTW! Overheard this at a local A&E where I was getting treated for a fractured elbow just a few months ago).
I used to be a complainer. Then I was a trauma. Then I stopped complaining as much. Then I was a trauma again. Now I go in with the mind set of a 4-10 hour wait. The longer the wait, the worse it is for trauma patients and staff. Pack the patience.
Having lost my late husband to gallbladder cancer I know how quickly someone can go. So sad when you have been married so long and you watch them fight the good fight 😢
Tea is the equivalent to air for the Brits 😂 They have to boost electricity stations around 4pm because everyone is putting the kettle on for a cuppa tea!
When you walk into a high-pressure, crowded environment like an A&E, a little bit of polite chat (and a wee bit of charm) will take you a long way. Treat those treating you the way you would want somebody to treat you at your own workplace.
Kevin is a doll!!! He just needs to lay off the axe. That shit is teenage body spray lol and the amount he put on was choke worthy. When you walk by you want to be remembered with a hint of scent you don't want to passby and leave the taste of cheap chemicals in everyone's mouth lol
Hospitals around here are scent free due to allergies and breathing difficulties. He’d be fired here for that. Option is scent free and abide or leave. Others health is more important than smelling like a teenage locker room
I’m a retired RN. I have actually been yelling at some of these people. Like the stupid guy who was standing up on the cot peering over into the next cubicle looking for his father. His mother should have talked him down. Those stupid little girls. I hate to wait in ED as well, but people need to look up the word triage. Treat em and street em. But all the stab wounds come before drunk 21yr olds who fell off a bar they were standing on!!!
They are so slow at Kings they couldnt be bothered about their patience. The poor old man with the tumor in his bladder they left him there the whole night to die
A doctor saw him part way through and wanted to admit him to the hospital. He made a medical plan and did get him admitted. …he was going to get a scan as well. He wasn’t left alone…. They have to wait for the bed to open in the hospital and the scan to be available before he could go… they didn’t just leave him…

Maria saw him several times. Also a doctor saw him part way through and wanted to admit him to the hospital. He made a medical plan and did get him admitted. …he was going to get a scan as well.

Grown men getting all a'flutter over a needle. Such babies lol. Everyone has their fears, but what happened to the stiff upper lip and pushing through it?
It is a term used in some European countries, as well. It dates back to a time where nursing was a profession very common amongst Catholic and Christian nuns from religious orders. In some European countries, the term actually is 'sister,' and 'nurse' is not used. Nowadays, though it is just a carry-over term. I don't think many of them are actually nuns. I know there still are some, particularly in palliative care, but I haven't come across any personally. The last doctor who was actually both a nun and missionary I have been told about, was the woman who was my Mum's midwife. She was a missionary in Malawi, when my Mum went into labour with me, 11 weeks early, in 1982. Luckily for my Mum, although there was no testing done on donor blood supplies in most African countries, way back then, my Mum's midwife was an American Catholic nun and knew all about the AIDS epidemic and knew that blood had to be tested. She had her own group of friends living in the city, who tested themselves regularly and who donated safe blood for those in need, not through the rather poor hospital administration. She got my Mum safe blood that was known to be HIV-free, as every donor had been tested, before donating.
Splinter dude is a joke. Why wasnt he turned away as soon as he came in?! Some of these people need to be told the hard truth - emergency means just that- a risk to your life- for anything else, go to your doctor! For petes sake. Wasting resources means less attention goes to those who actually need it. There should be a "stupidity charge" for some of these people - from all the cyclists who dont wear helmets to the boys who "live life to the full" aka climb a tree without a harness..
How nice for you that you don't have this particular fear. Not everyone is so lucky. It's not a rational thing. Some people might have a past trauma, some might be former drug users, some might have an anxiety disorder... you don't know. We all arrive at this fear in our own ways, and if it were logical, it would be easy to fix, wouldn't it? Have some empathy.
For those who have a phobia it is a real thing for them and it usually occurs due to something that the person has experienced and is a legitimate point of anguish for them. So you need to back the f*** up and don't judge something you don't understand!
Some nurses are absolutely hamfisted with needles, so 9/10, it doesn't feel great with my more delicate skin. I've had loads of IVs and shots, and I still grimace when I get a needle put in. I was a very sick baby tended to by doctors who were taught in the "babies don't feel pain" era, so I was initiated with needles by people rushing. Absolutely, needles can be scary.
Kevin the porter is pure gold !
Having just lost my husband of 55 years my heart goes out to Ted’s wife. The ache is real.
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry Judy....I lost my husband of 30 years last December. As you said, the ache is real !! 💔
I am so very sorry, and am dreading that day myself if/when he leaves before I do😢
Ted RIP love to his wife and daughter you have such wonderful memories may they give you strength in the coming years.
Sister Amanda is such a darling human. She just lights the place up. We need more people in the world like her.
She’s a truly lovely woman & so very caring. She truly empathises with every patient & is a very beautiful human being.
I agree ❤️. She’s one in a million!! Adorable lady!
❤💖
Wow! That Doctor stitching the man's upper lip back together would definitely get invited to my Mum's stitching group! How neat his stitches are!
Haven’t gotten there yet, but I had a couple stitches in my upper lip, the ones in the red part really hurt coming out, the red part grows onto the material..
Bless porters honestly hospital doesn't function without good support staff
Amanda is freaking adorable! What a sweetheart!

What a wonderful fellow Ted was; a gentleman through & through. He was positive, gentle & kind until the very end. RIP to a magnificent gentleman! 💕

RIP, Ted, you solid-gold gentleman!
Kevin and Amanda would be the most wholesome, hardworking power couple.
Kevin is SO into his job 😂
Kevin, i could watch him all day. So lovely and caring 😊
I love that they offer tea or coffee. I don't know of any ER in CA that does that.
No ER in the USA period offers that 😝. They r all so kind!!!

I love this patient Ian lol. He's got a great attitude.
I love ❤ the drunk guy that broke his ankle 😂he’s so funny 😂😂😂
And super cute as well.
He engaged so charmingly with everybody he came in contact with

Im sure he is a nice guy, but he looks like he is on methamphetamine

This is an old video so scents probably weren’t banned then. I think these are from around 2012 or 2013.
That’s a lot of body spray, Kevin!
I love Amanda's cute Betty Boop voice. It so fits her.
Amanda is a beautiful person and that’s what a good nurse needs.
Amanda is simply adorable. Love her vim and vigor.
Kevin just fits into his job so perfectly.
I just love Amanda…and Kevin. Happy lovely people!
At least that drunk skateboarder was a happy drunk.
It would be interesting to see him when he wasn’t drunk.
Kevin is wonderful! He should be Head Porter!
The documentary must put date when it is recording
I think it was recorded about 2012 or so…
Amanda reminds me a bit of Barbara from The Good life program from the 70’s.
That generation is a tough lot for sure.
Irene is so sweet. A lovely couple
Amanda is such a sweet soul.
Wow Amanda!
I love Peggy! 😍
That guy wasn't doing cpr properly - not strong enough.
Here comes the CPR police
Amanda 😍 ❤

Its about time they left him his kidneys are not working but they seeing a guy with a splinter in his finger
The doctor sent the splinter man away without seeing him. He was told to go to his GP for treatment.
German doctor i Trust
They are so slow at Kings they couldnt be bothered about their patience. The poor old man with the tumor in his bladder they left him there the whole night to die

Amanda is next level sweet
I've seen this one!
Ted’s wife is a darling
Amanda is way too emotionally invested.
And yet she's working in one of the best A&E service in the UK and here you are commenting behind your screen with your tiny brain... 🤦🏼♂
1:09 seriously?! 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It's a butt...why so sensitive

Is a Sister a new nun?
Sister is a title of position. Kinda like Capt of the team.
Sister is the same as Charge Nurse. Old English term.

In some European countries, the term actually is 'sister,' and 'nurse' is not used. Nowadays, though it is just a carry-over term. I don't think many of them are actually nuns.

What is the paranoia about needles?? It is a teeny, tiny prick, no stitches required!!
Anticipation of pain.

I’m the opposite of Stuart.
I LOVE boredom. Boredom is my friend. It means all is fine and right with my world🫠
And savour it, because you never know how long it will last
