Air Ambulance: Durham (Season 1 Episode 5) | Full Documentary
The team is called to a building site to treat a roofer who has picked up a nasty leg fracture in a fall. Alternative transport is required to reach a 16-year-old asthmatic struggling to breathe on a Lake District mountainside, and a cyclist involved in a collision in Durham needs medical assistance.
This character-driven documentary series will tell the story of the UKs extraordinary doctor-led helicopter emergency team and offer a unique look at the cutting edge medicine they use to save lives every day. With rare access, the series will follow chopper doctor flying teams in the North and South of Britain. These Air Ambulance ER units carry doctors, not simply paramedics, so audiences will witness life-saving surgery and pioneering medicine on the front line as the hospital effectively comes to the roadside or the mountain. Cameras will be there every step of the way from the moment the emergency call comes in and the team is scrambled to landing at the scene and treating the patient. In some cases the programme will also follow the patients journey in hospital and their recovery. But the heart of each film is constructed around the platinum half hour the critical 30 minutes following a major accident. As well as offering a privileged window into this extraordinary service, Air Ambulance ER provides an intimate portrait of the remarkable and inspirational characters behind it.

Love these people. So calm, kind, reassuring, personable, and professional. Also, the videography is stunning and the editing is brilliant.
I absolutely love the way the medical community treats their patients. Top shelf I'd love to see in the United States.
This series of documentaries is very well done. Thank you!
Aw man, I winced more than a couple of times watching this... Thanks for uploading, I love documentaries like this, and after watching so much 24 Hours in A&E it's good to see the bit that basically happens before the patients get there.
When looking at these open wounds you say you are not squeamish but seeing them in person may be a total different experience.
Ellie should be required to carry all the paramedics bags back the the helicopter… jeeeesh!!!
Are they going to up load in more episodes on ytube?
They would almost never call out a helicopter for something like this in the US. That guy would have been transported by ambulance even if they where more than 45 min from the hospital.

Thanks to Republicans who think medical care should be a "business."

@@ct92404 Well even if universal health care was a thing. Most hospitals do not own their own helicopters, it is an independent business. Secondly I don’t think a helicopter should be called in every circumstance. It’s some of the most dangerous flying that exists. Really only behind aerial firefighting and helicopter power line work. And in some years it has been more dangerous than both of those!

@@427SuperSnake1 Well, true you don't need to send a helicopter in every situation. But I know of a lot of cases where a helicopter would have been very helpful. Not necessarily in terms of survival, but people who would have had better recovery. I've learned a lot from watching these documentaries and injuries that I used to think weren't quite that serious actually are...like if someone has a complex leg or arm fracture it can cut off the blood supply and they might end up losing their limb if they don't get to a hospital quickly. Time is extremely important in any kind of emergency. But unfortunately, I do think decisions are made based on "cutting costs" because too many hospitals and even medical response are owned by private companies (AMR ambulances, for example). We need to *completely* throw away this whole idea of medical care being a for-profit "business." I mean ALL of it. Get rid of it. The problem in the US isn't technology or medical science, we are very advanced with that. The problem is the mentality and policy. We have the best medical science and technology, but most people never get that...they are just treated with the absolute bare minimum, all in the guise of "reducing cost" and appeasing CEOs and shareholders.
helicopter 🚁
I am from india..... i am doing b.s.c critical care technology.... how can i join as a air paramedic ...??
Round-a-bouts are ok for vehicle flow until you introduce pedestrians and bicyclists. IMHO as a medic in the USA.
