@Stacey Forget Yeah, 6 min down without blood is just top hard to cone back from then add the devastating injury...feel bad for his family, what a sad way to lose someone soo young.
I got ran over by a forklift while working, crushing both feet and braking my right ankle and Lower leg bones, they called the fire department, then the fire department called a private ambulance this took 45 minutes plus another fifteen to get to the trauma center, I was 56 yrs old with a history of heart problems, no on could or would give me any medications , my blood pressure was 245 over 110 I spent 11 hours in the emergency room only to be braced up and sent home. I ended up with compartment disorder in the crushed foot and had to wait two weeks for surgery to bolt my feet and ankles back together, I still can't walk because of the nerve and blood vessel damage, so much for Americans great health care , just don't get hurt on the job I guess, these guys are great. By the way I was taken to the premier tri state level one trauma center , big deal that made

My boyfriend died last year of a similar accident to the 17 year old boy. My boyfriend fell on a beer bottle and punctuated his airway and his artery. He died en route to the hospital 😔 May that boys family have all the prayers and peace they need to know their son-cousin-nephew-brother is saving lives.

@@HeartWorX.Creations the world is full of heartless morons, a sad state is affairs this world is in, as we progress in time and supposed technology, we regress in compassion, feelings and overall basic common sense.
I mean I donate to the air ambulances in Australia and another charity... And I'm a student doing uni full-time and living in Sydney, the second most expensive city to live in the world. So if I can donate, most people can.
Same as an Australian haha And we have so many incredibly remote areas that air ambulances are literally the only way they can be reached. So we have a tonne.
That poor 17 year old they did everything they could. Such a young age. Idk how his aunt held it together. I'm in the health field and I dont know if I couldve it being a family member so young
It is absolutely criminally disgraceful that the Air Ambulance has to rely on donations in order to exist. This is one public service that should be entirely fully funded by the British government and more Air Ambulances should be provided! How many lives have to be injured or die when the British government will do their duty of care to the British public! These volunteers are amazing and in order to do their job better their concern for funding to keep the Air Ambulance SHOULD NOT BE THEIR CONCERN IT IS THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT's DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY!!
I just want to thank any and all air ambulance services. My younger brother fell into a pond and drowned, he was dead for over 4 minutes. He is fine nowadays and is even doing better then me, but if it weren’t for an advanced life support unit and air ambulance he wouldn’t be here.
I'm reflecting back on when I first joined the ambulance service here (Australia) some 30 years ago. Back then we had about 8 drugs we could administer, and a lot of unstable patients were "load and go" Now we have some 50-80 drugs (depending on skill level) and we're training staff to perform roadside surgery. Very few cases now where we can't do something value added with patient management. "Stay and play" is a common catch phrase. Many countries though have "ambulance drivers" rather than paramedics. The skill levels just don't exist for them to do anything more than first aid and race to hospital. People die in the back of ambulances in 3rd world countries that would arrive at hospital in a stable condition in a developed country.
There are appropriate times to stay and play and not load n go. Most medicals, it’s fine to stay a bit, 15ish minutes is usually our max. In traumas time is ticking, and no more 10 minutes MAX.
Wonderful people who need our financial backing, respect and morale support. Any one of us may need them any time. Thanks guys for your time and dedication.
You're right! I'm in the industry and one of the slogans is, "we're the best thing to happen to you on the worst day of your life". This is in the USA, so we're a regular "provider" like a doctor. The pressure now is from insurance companies paying "Medicare Rates". We save your life, without even looking at insurance coverage. Maybe 17% have NO insurance. Another 20% pay Medicaid rates, which is like $2K. Medicare pays us like $6K. But, to staff a base 24-7 with compliant personnel is very expensive. These are fixed costs 24/7/365. Commercial insurance makes up for that (revenue-wise)... the 20% or so patients that we save. When Ambetter, Humana, etc., are paying Medicare rates, it's not tenable.
They're calm demeanor and respect for each other. Such an emotional and traumatizing time is absolutely unbelievable! These guys are legit superheroes!
No such thing as an "ordinary hero". Human beings put in extraordinary circumstances and act quickly and decisively instead of freezing up or running away. The doubly extraordinary thing is these people do it day in and day out. Nkthing "ordinary" about that imho.
I guess I could be wrong about this, but my understanding is that the helicopter pilots are not medically trained at all. Their sole responsibility is taking care of the aircraft.
Like others said, the pilots are just pilots, but I don’t doubt that there may be one or two air Med folks that can also pilot a heli. They probably don’t take on both roles on the same shift or maybe even the same air Med organization.
Does anyone know if the kid survived after? My heart broke and I was in tears so I hope he is ok! Bless him and his family I know the heartache they went through as I lost my little girl and the pain was unbearable

I spent a day and a night at ICU with him before his life support was turned off. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢Watching this makes me realise that these professionals are so caring kind, and polite. Do they get support with what they have to deal with? I hope they do. I live in Australia even though I grew up in the UK.

It's so hard to get an IV on me, even by nurses who did that all day long, I had to have a port surgically implanted. I love it. Of course, I have a medical condition that requires regular IV treatment. If I didn't, I would have to just suffer the rare IV. But since it was taking 8 tries to get an IV, I just couldn't put up with that on a regular basis. lol
Comparing a medical doctor with nearly any other medical professional is unfair. The level of training a doctor undergoes is leagues beyond the rest. That said, every medical professional plays a meaningful and important role in the system regardless of the skill level.
Any time I've ever had an IV placed by a doctor, it was almost painless and incredibly quick. No shade to nurses or phlebotomists at all, doctors just have so much more knowledge about anatomy that I'd expect them to be exceptional at IV placement lol
I am doing the same job for 8 years now as a paramedic... I was never proud of what I`ve done... but when y save a life, especially a young one, you have the right to feel good for what you`re doing !!! God bless these guys on every run !
I’m sorry I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s no safe places in my world. Being a paramedic is not a normal job, it’s life and death. If you lost your pride and then you’re going to not care about your work. Time to MoveOn
The air ambulance doctor was treating my brother for the nearly three hours it took to cut him out of the vehicle crushing him from the waist down. We are so grateful for this doctor who saved his life initially and those who healed his wounded body in hospital.
I fell through a big pane of glass while I was in high School. Miraculously only had one small cut. I’ll never forget the look on the DeputeHead’s face as it happened. He thought I was a goner
In the fourth grade on a field trip to Jamestown one of the girl students fell backwards through the gift shop large plate glass window. Most of us were rushed out and didn't see anything. We imagined the worst but she was fortunate (?) and only had a very bad cut behind her leg at ankle level. She still had a slight limp in high school.
I did a handstand in dad’s living room once whilst dancing to music and went crashing through his glass coffee table. He was more worried about the table than me (angry about it too), I was completely unharmed.
@@LoupGarouForte Tables are almost everytime made of tempered glass. It is stronger than normal glass but if it breaks it shatters in many small pieces so you won't get hurt apart from minor cuts at most.
@@dranoelr Thats nice to know, family friends had a glass dining table and one of their kids broke it, I've been terrified of them ever since. That was around 20 years ago so new ones are hopefully safer a you said.
*The air ambulance is mainly funded by donations* Really?! Something that saves the lives of almost every person that needs it, top priority of importance the government can't be bothered to pay for that? It's a libertarians dream and a dying persons nightmare. I personally wouldn't be typing this if I wasn't air lifted from an accident. The politicians that vote against paying for that need to be put in an emergency situation then told sorry you are not going to make it to the hospital, if only we had a helicopter. Can't spend those unpaid taxes when you are dead can you?
In Australia we have two types of rescue helicopters/air ambulances. One type are owned by respective state governments primarily for ambulance use, but police and fire service (aerial surveillance) also make use of them. Type 2 are privately owned and funded by companies. The red and yellow Westpac choppers are a common sight on Gold Coast and Sydney beaches. Other helicopters are funded by mining companies auto clubs and electricity companies (with their corporate logos prominently featured). Perhaps the UK government should take over the volunteer helicopter services and also approach companies for corporate sponsorship. Can you imagine a big blue Cadbury rescue chopper flying around?
This video is simply amazing. It gives me back a sense of humanity and the believe, that ppl. are able to do good in this twisted world. Thanks to all first responders for your hard and exhausting duty.
I turned 20 on January 3rd. To think that this kid got 3 years less than me on this earth shatters my heart if I’m being honest. He was too young to die like this. I’m literally in tears.
You could really see at Dion‘s face when he wiped off his head he gave all and hold his breath for the last couple of minutes... such a close call and still such a sad outcome!
@@JoJo-jy2rw The lad tripped over a wire, fell into a sunbed which pierced his neck in two places and cut his jugular. He then pulled the tube out in shock which caused the massive blood loss. He died a day later in hospital as there was nothing more they could do. Basically a guy who was getting his life together to be a dad, really tragic.
I just hope people realize these are real.heros. not your favorite sportstar. Or musician or actor. These people are saving lives everyday. Godbless all
Me: wondering how people are going to pay for being taken into a helicopter and the hospital bill. Also me: remembering this is the UK and not America and they will be able to pay for it all because they don’t charge nearly as much as in America or it’s free.
@@ForeverLumozNot paid out of tax, it's pretty much all from fund raising as they are charities. From watching these I also believe that the Dr's are actually volunteering their time, as a few have said their day job a one specific type of Dr and then they do this in their spare time.
@Kevin Brown So you will not call the firefighters if your house is on fire? They have expensive equipments, salaries etc. They dont charge you directly anything. I dont see how it is different. Or do you get a bill from them after they put out the fire in the usa?
In Estonia we dont get any bill if we are working and paying taxes or staying home with a baby. We have insurance. if we get ambulance help or something like that we got it for free.
For those who are wondering, at 14:48, the item that says "A, Rh D POSITIVE" It's plasma not packed red blood cells. Because this is a male patient he would most likely getting O+ RBCs. Often times in a trauma situation the doctors CANNOT wait for a crossmatch, so there exists protocols in blood banking to determine who can have what if the patient has not yet been crossmatched.
I'm an ER Nurse for 10 years but this job is amazingly incomparable too, flying on your way to save lives. What a dream job! Cheers and respect for all the paramedics, what a superpower you got!
I couldn’t either. I could probably handle the “smaller” things, but when it comes to the severe trauma I just couldn’t imagine. I suppose when you have the knowledge and experience it gets easier but I am way too empathetic to survive a career like that.
It's amazing how our bodies can put up with so much drama like a car or motorcycle accident but then so fragile when you fall down a flight of stairs and hit some glass.
@@sir.benzerlot4571 no, but you can learn how to treat massive bleeding and prevent this to happen to other person, a loved one or even yourself. Bleed control and CPR courses save many many lives. In less than 2 minutes you can bleed to death so hoping for the paramedics to arrive can be of no use, in such cases STOP THE BLEED and do it NOW.
RIP Grant Adams so young but now he is an angel , that god called back home. i have a 4 year old who died and i believe there all together beside god in heaven!

"I flew out in the front of the helicopter and back in the back of the helicopter... as my own patient." That made me giggle after the harrowing first half.
what I really appreciated, as an ex teacher of emergency care and EMT, was the way they spoke to each other, professionally, calm, friendly. Unfortunately that was not my expereince in the field in Northern California.
Well the Kardashian earn their money privately with their job so I don't see why they should earn less? They are not being paid by anyone but by the companies who choose to work with them... You all confuse private Vs government jobs. The Kardashians work for themselves and they earn based on what they produce and can bring to the brand's who choose to support them, none of the money they received comes from the government.
Well, you make your mistakes and, well,, Your choices, your consequences 🤷♀️ ive literally known since like age 8 you don't pull something out if you have something stuck in you... its very common repeated first aid advice where I live. Probably well known everywhere
Nice to have a doctor on the team. We don't have that here. We have pilot, paramedic, and ICU RN. Amazing job and amazing team. You really are working in hard places. If I ever needed such care I would be so lucky to have a team like you all. Really amazing.
He just fell from the stairs...I didn't know it could be that serious. I can't imagine the shock his family went through. Just a normal day, then just one fall and it's all over. Great job though, I really admire the work done on all these patients.
He didn't just fall from the stairs... He somehow managed to stumble and break some glass from a tanning bed into his neck and then I believe he stumbled down the stairs going for help. They mentioned in the video they weren't sure what happened and if he moved there after the fact.
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou i know i watched the video. He likely fell from the stairs and landed unfortunately. My comment was about one pretty common thing ended so badly
I love watching how all the medical teams work together to do whatever they need to for the patient. I can’t imagine how stressful of a job they have but also it’s so rewarding when they do save someone’s life.
The moment where the Call came in u immediatly see in his face that this is something serious, also as from the crew came "CPR in Progress"..... Wish there where much more Docs out there like him.... He did all that i could....
“How many stairs did he fall down?” “Nobody counted bro, but did you just hear what I said about his jugular? Might be a bit more of a CAT1 just now, buddy, mmkay?”
I work as an Emergency nurse...we take over once they get them to us and it's HARD when a bad case comes in let alone seeing the patients family and home...I honestly don't know how they cope.
I wish the doctors here in the United States were as caring and loving and compassionate as these doctors are… I am bawling through this whole episode because of the love your country has for people, it’s just mind blowing because we don’t see that anymore here.
I salute to the men and women who are in the field of service working. Police, firefighters, or medical workers etc. Without them and their will to save and help others in their time of need, almost everyone would of been dead who had been involved with any kind of serious accidents. Doctors and surgeons too. Not too forget, the military.
When the air ambulance says ‘oh, fuck’ you know it’s brutal. Poor lad.
Genuinely chilling. When that's a professional medic's first reaction, things are really looking grim.

I am doing the same job for 8 years now as a paramedic... I was never proud of what I`ve done... but when y save a life, especially a young one, you have the right to feel good for what you`re doing !!! God bless these guys on every run !
If you lost your pride in your job as a paramedic it’s time to change jobs! Been doing it since 2001.
I’m sorry I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s no safe places in my world. Being a paramedic is not a normal job, it’s life and death. If you lost your pride and then you’re going to not care about your work. Time to MoveOn
Well we are all proud of you and appreciate you
Its nice to be humble but you should be proud. Your saving lives. Very very important figure in society!
The air ambulance doctor was treating my brother for the nearly three hours it took to cut him out of the vehicle crushing him from the waist down. We are so grateful for this doctor who saved his life initially and those who healed his wounded body in hospital.
I fell through a big pane of glass while I was in high School. Miraculously only had one small cut. I’ll never forget the look on the DeputeHead’s face as it happened. He thought I was a goner
In the fourth grade on a field trip to Jamestown one of the girl students fell backwards through the gift shop large plate glass window. Most of us were rushed out and didn't see anything. We imagined the worst but she was fortunate (?) and only had a very bad cut behind her leg at ankle level. She still had a slight limp in high school.
I did a handstand in dad’s living room once whilst dancing to music and went crashing through his glass coffee table. He was more worried about the table than me (angry about it too), I was completely unharmed.
@@LoupGarouForte Tables are almost everytime made of tempered glass. It is stronger than normal glass but if it breaks it shatters in many small pieces so you won't get hurt apart from minor cuts at most.
@@dranoelr thats good to know :) thanks for sharing that knowledge.
@@dranoelr Thats nice to know, family friends had a glass dining table and one of their kids broke it, I've been terrified of them ever since. That was around 20 years ago so new ones are hopefully safer a you said.
*The air ambulance is mainly funded by donations* Really?! Something that saves the lives of almost every person that needs it, top priority of importance the government can't be bothered to pay for that? It's a libertarians dream and a dying persons nightmare. I personally wouldn't be typing this if I wasn't air lifted from an accident. The politicians that vote against paying for that need to be put in an emergency situation then told sorry you are not going to make it to the hospital, if only we had a helicopter. Can't spend those unpaid taxes when you are dead can you?
In Australia we have two types of rescue helicopters/air ambulances.
One type are owned by respective state governments primarily for ambulance use, but police and fire service (aerial surveillance) also make use of them.
Type 2 are privately owned and funded by companies. The red and yellow Westpac choppers are a common sight on Gold Coast and Sydney beaches. Other helicopters are funded by mining companies auto clubs and electricity companies (with their corporate logos prominently featured).
Perhaps the UK government should take over the volunteer helicopter services and also approach companies for corporate sponsorship. Can you imagine a big blue Cadbury rescue chopper flying around?
@@doncoleman4938a fellow aussie agrees...
Mmmm cabury glass and half or a caramello koala 😊
Haha "The caramello koala Copter".
And I erred too. I'm slightly colour blind-It would be a purple Cadbury chopper.
Goverment cant pay for it cause all the useless fucks living on wellfare are some how important in their eyes.
Dave B idk u why should I pay for ur medical services like I agree it’s an important thing but if it’s ran by donations what’s the problem
When I see the amount of people, equipment, and vehicles organized to help one person, it brings me to tears.
This video is simply amazing. It gives me back a sense of humanity and the believe, that ppl. are able to do good in this twisted world. Thanks to all first responders for your hard and exhausting duty.
I turned 20 on January 3rd. To think that this kid got 3 years less than me on this earth shatters my heart if I’m being honest. He was too young to die like this. I’m literally in tears.
Parts of this series are very uplifting and yet you get a pinch in your heart when one wasn't lucky to make it.
You could really see at Dion‘s face when he wiped off his head he gave all and hold his breath for the last couple of minutes... such a close call and still such a sad outcome!
I spot that as well. . .
Poor kid, just a baby himself.
He performed heroically!
The 17yr old male was a father to be.. So sad
can you share any back story? thanks
@@JoJo-jy2rw The lad tripped over a wire, fell into a sunbed which pierced his neck in two places and cut his jugular. He then pulled the tube out in shock which caused the massive blood loss. He died a day later in hospital as there was nothing more they could do. Basically a guy who was getting his life together to be a dad, really tragic.

jappie2 CRIKEY!😰
jappie2 He shouldn’t have pulled it out!!
True professionals. We don't appreciate these people enough. Nice to see a South African Heli pilot in there representing us.
Aw, when the crowd starting cheering and blowing air horns, that put a smile on my face :D
I just hope people realize these are real.heros. not your favorite sportstar. Or musician or actor. These people are saving lives everyday. Godbless all
This is great! But if you could please add closed captions for those with hearing problems (me)? It is difficult to understand a lot of the dialog
If you want the definition of true heroes, you just watched it! Amazing talent and knowledge these people have. Great job!!!
MaryQ They’re not heroes, it’s their job.
Me: wondering how people are going to pay for being taken into a helicopter and the hospital bill.
Also me: remembering this is the UK and not America and they will be able to pay for it all because they don’t charge nearly as much as in America or it’s free.
It's paid over tax, so no need for payment. Except if you need medication you pick up at the pharmacy. That's an out of pocket thing.
@@ForeverLumozNot paid out of tax, it's pretty much all from fund raising as they are charities. From watching these I also believe that the Dr's are actually volunteering their time, as a few have said their day job a one specific type of Dr and then they do this in their spare time.
@Kevin Brown So you will not call the firefighters if your house is on fire? They have expensive equipments, salaries etc. They dont charge you directly anything. I dont see how it is different. Or do you get a bill from them after they put out the fire in the usa?
In Estonia we dont get any bill if we are working and paying taxes or staying home with a baby. We have insurance. if we get ambulance help or something like that we got it for free.
If i need help, i dont pay it on my pocket. Taxpayers money is what payes. I know that
medical coverage for all is such a beautiful thing. Peoples lives are not ruined because they need medical care.
I’m so glad I support air ambulance. I pay to help me if I need medical help, rather than a ambulance
For those who are wondering, at 14:48, the item that says "A, Rh D POSITIVE" It's plasma not packed red blood cells. Because this is a male patient he would most likely getting O+ RBCs. Often times in a trauma situation the doctors CANNOT wait for a crossmatch, so there exists protocols in blood banking to determine who can have what if the patient has not yet been crossmatched.
To me, these lads have an infinite cool factor.
More funding for these services and ppl. They are amazing.
I'm an ER Nurse for 10 years but this job is amazingly incomparable too, flying on your way to save lives. What a dream job!
Cheers and respect for all the paramedics, what a superpower you got!
This show actually made me go out and donate blood.
Awe that's awesome!👍
I managed to successfully donate once but all the other times that I’ve tried, my heart rate was too high >_
I'd love to, but unfortunately cannot
Been doing it for years, recently received my 2 gallons donated pin ;)
I Certainly Would Love Too. But Those of Us, Who have Epilepsy, Can't. I'd like too. But I'm a Donor after I die.
I live in Australia and I love watching this show ,the medics are brilliant.
Rest Easy Grant Adams, Rhkiya-Mae is beautiful 💞 May you watch over her and Sharna always 👼🏼
When the crowd started clapping it made my heart melt.
WOW,, A VERY BIG THANK-YOU for all that you do for others!!!!!!!!
I could never do this. Props and respect to every single person who saves lives, or is even in this situation.
I couldn’t either. I could probably handle the “smaller” things, but when it comes to the severe trauma I just couldn’t imagine. I suppose when you have the knowledge and experience it gets easier but I am way too empathetic to survive a career like that.
@@nolaray1062 I feel ya there, empathy would make it an unbearable choice for sure.
I cried watching that young fella their body language explained it all.
It's amazing how our bodies can put up with so much drama like a car or motorcycle accident but then so fragile when you fall down a flight of stairs and hit some glass.
Total freak accident he only died because he slices the jugular and bled out!! Poor kid.
That is why you need to take care of your body. Give it every chance to survive.
@@juliherron8991 can’t predict that though
@@sir.benzerlot4571 no, but you can learn how to treat massive bleeding and prevent this to happen to other person, a loved one or even yourself. Bleed control and CPR courses save many many lives. In less than 2 minutes you can bleed to death so hoping for the paramedics to arrive can be of no use, in such cases STOP THE BLEED and do it NOW.
@@jacogomez1093 do you know what predict means?
Talk about your high stress job. Sheesh im glad there's people like this doctor in the world.
RIP Grant Adams so young but now he is an angel , that god called back home. i have a 4 year old who died and i believe there all together beside god in heaven!
Riley Blanchard I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. It may not be exactly the same because I am not related to them but, it feels terrible and you should not bring yourself down about it. Stay strong. I’m sorry that it happened.
As an ER nurse of 20 years' experience, I have always held a deep admiration for the airlift crews. Cheers to our colleagues in the UK!
glad to know that all have survived but sad when the 17 y.o. didnt make it. paramedics and air doctors are greatly doing their jobs in saving the lives of many. they are the life savers and everyday heroes. i salute you guys.
cris from abu dhabi
...the doctor's WEEKEND is air ambulance? What a saint.
This show is amazing, just so compulsively binge-able. I honestly didn't notice how long I'd been watching, I was so engrossed.
So blessed to live where this service is available to all.
These men and women are true daily heroes. God bless you
The stress and exhaustion of that doctor after he was able to turn over the boy to the hospital crew...these are true heroes
when he said "no output" my heart dropped, rest in peace Grant Adams
My deepest condolences to the family of the 17 yr old young man 🙏
The fact that they survive based on donations is depressing, the air ambulance should be supported by the government.
"I flew out in the front of the helicopter and back in the back of the helicopter... as my own patient." That made me giggle after the harrowing first half.
Poor kid never even got to meet his baby 😭
It's okay. He's watching over her from Heaven as a proud Papa, I'm sure. :)
what I really appreciated, as an ex teacher of emergency care and EMT, was the way they spoke to each other, professionally, calm, friendly. Unfortunately that was not my expereince in the field in Northern California.
These are the people who should be getting paid big money. Not instagram models and Kardashians.
*ABSOLUTELY!!*
Well the Kardashian earn their money privately with their job so I don't see why they should earn less? They are not being paid by anyone but by the companies who choose to work with them...
You all confuse private Vs government jobs.
The Kardashians work for themselves and they earn based on what they produce and can bring to the brand's who choose to support them, none of the money they received comes from the government.
Even though I've seen all the episodes I still love to watch them again! I wish they would make more seasons of it!
I read an article that said the kid pulled the tube out of his neck. That is the number one thing you are NOT supposed to do in that situation.
Try being in shock and not pulling that thing out of your neck 🤷🏻♂️
Well, you make your mistakes and, well,, Your choices, your consequences 🤷♀️ ive literally known since like age 8 you don't pull something out if you have something stuck in you... its very common repeated first aid advice where I live. Probably well known everywhere
23:31 did anyone else notice the batman symbol on the red phone people call in the emergencies to. Perfect placement.
17 years old. Tragic 😞 May he RIP
Nice to have a doctor on the team. We don't have that here. We have pilot, paramedic, and ICU RN. Amazing job and amazing team. You really are working in hard places. If I ever needed such care I would be so lucky to have a team like you all. Really amazing.
True heroes. This is what we need to always remember. That there are true heroes in the world.
These are the exact kinda people we need more of in this world. The ki da people who keep our society going.
He just fell from the stairs...I didn't know it could be that serious.
I can't imagine the shock his family went through. Just a normal day, then just one fall and it's all over.
Great job though, I really admire the work done on all these patients.
He was cut by glass
I’m from America, but i remember being able to watch Ambulance and seeing their side. It was a tanning bed he fell over...
He was a soon to be father...
He didn't just fall from the stairs... He somehow managed to stumble and break some glass from a tanning bed into his neck and then I believe he stumbled down the stairs going for help. They mentioned in the video they weren't sure what happened and if he moved there after the fact.
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou i know i watched the video. He likely fell from the stairs and landed unfortunately. My comment was about one pretty common thing ended so badly
I love how respectful they are...you Guys doing such a great Job Thank you!!
Rest in peace grant. Total accident makes me want to hug my boys tight tell them i love them
11:20 - That smile was the most genuine smile I have seen.
i like how they say brilliant when they get something flowing alright
shoutouts to dion. man is saving people 24/7
I love watching how all the medical teams work together to do whatever they need to for the patient. I can’t imagine how stressful of a job they have but also it’s so rewarding when they do save someone’s life.
Very handsome Dr.
What a job these men and women do. Takes special hearts.
The moment where the Call came in u immediatly see in his face that this is something serious, also as from the crew came "CPR in Progress".....
Wish there where much more Docs out there like him.... He did all that i could....
“How many stairs did he fall down?”
“Nobody counted bro, but did you just hear what I said about his jugular? Might be a bit more of a CAT1 just now, buddy, mmkay?”
I work as an Emergency nurse...we take over once they get them to us and it's HARD when a bad case comes in let alone seeing the patients family and home...I honestly don't know how they cope.
22:17 "that's a tough Russian"
Well, I've never meant a Russian who wasn't a tough badass madlad!
I love this show. My first episode. I will watch more. God Speed to you guys and great work you do.
these people are real life heroes. we will be forever grateful for what they do
Respect!! No money can pay for the amazing job they are doing
But it helps in case they burn out at an early age.
Andy Taylor of course
Saving lives EVERY day is just amazing!!! I miss work so much! However, the down side is losing lives. :-(
Humanity at its finest…love and peace to you air heroes…
You're ALL amazing. Thank you for your service and dedication
I wish the doctors here in the United States were as caring and loving and compassionate as these doctors are… I am bawling through this whole episode because of the love your country has for people, it’s just mind blowing because we don’t see that anymore here.
We have nothing like these Doctors that go out with mini trauma units.
I salute to the men and women who are in the field of service working. Police, firefighters, or medical workers etc. Without them and their will to save and help others in their time of need, almost everyone would of been dead who had been involved with any kind of serious accidents. Doctors and surgeons too. Not too forget, the military.
My heart goes out to these men and women!!Saving Lives Are God Sent Angel's!!Almighty Bless Them Always!!🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
Amen!
I love that the crowd was cheering for them helping that guy
