    My dad, 63, was painting, fell off ladders and went right onto a bannister, broke 3 ribs. He'd covered himself in paint, so stripped off and got into clean clothes, cleaned up as much of the mess as he could in the pain, walked to the bus stop, got the bus home, walked upstairs, had a shower, then as soon as he sat on the bed to put underwear on he couldn't move, the excruciating pain became too much, and from there an ambulance had to be called. The older generation are just absolute machines. Meanwhile, my mum was fretting more over the fact they were getting new carpet getting put in the next day and needed to take the old carpet up still and move the furniture out. Only at that point did she call me and my sister to help. We sorted that whilst my mum sorted the ambo out 🤣

    In my opinion, working as a paramedic, to transport him the way they did was absolutely wrong. Moving a patient like this and making them walk whilst they are complaining about back pain which makes a back injury fairly likely is not great. Getting him onto a scoop stretcher and carrying him to the helicopter would have been safer and required less movement. It also would have spared him of the pain he experienced here. Sure, it would take longer and a lot of man power, but there was an ambulance crew on scene and the pilot as well...

    @@divisiongaming4795 UK practice is progressive and in the UK, we are moving away from collars because research shows they are ineffective. It’s better to allow the patient to guard their own c-spine. They won’t move in a way that hurts them. HEMS crews are also able to clear the C Spine on scene. Back boards are also not used in this situation because research shows them to increase the chance of injury.
