I live in the USA, worked on Fire Dept. and Life Squad for many years. I watch these and other videos and wonder why our citizens who are involved in serious accidents are left without pain relieving drugs to help them with extrications from vehicles, or accidents involving broken bones. What ever the case may be. As emergency response our hands our tied. Yeah we can call the hospital to ask but most times it’s just load and go with out any regard to the pain. The hospital will deal with the pain when patients arrive. We need to be more aware of what the patient needs. I just don’t understand why people have to suffer in America. This has nothing to do with drug abuse. It’s about there’s time when it’s necessary.

Most of the time that I've been in the ER it's been like purgatory with people crying and groaning in agony.

You can see the concern in that horse's eyes. He knows what is going on, bless him. He didn't mean harm.

The Hungarian doctor is so sweet and gentle with the elderly lady. Just precious. My boyfriend and I were puzzling over why ketamine is used so much in England (we're in the US) and I couldn't answer his questions. Someone said we don't have doctors in the field--only paramedics. It makes sense, in that case. And propofol would knock a person out almost completely, or more if enough were given. It's fascinating the differences between the two countries, and others besides.

I know it's a late reply but we use a lot of ketamine in Sweden as well. As paramedics we don't need doctors orders to administrate morphine, fentanyl, ketamine, propfol, bensodiazepam etc. We just report it to the doctor when we arrive with the patient to the ER and write it down in their medical record. We put chest tubes, intubate, administrate medicine and even have ECMO's in certain trauma ambulances and helicopters. They are literally rolling and flying OR's, ER's and ICU's. Paramedics in Sweden works very similar to these doctors and paramedics.

Ok so, I have just binged watched the first season and the first 4 episodes of this season. I love this program, it’s one of the best I’ve seen. As a registered nurse, I love anything medical and I appreciate that this program doesn’t edit out all of the real scenes of actual injuries, like most other programs do, or they usually blur them out. This program is real and gives us, the viewers, a full perspective of what their jobs entail. These Dr’s, paramedics and pilots are amazing at what they do. Given that they could face absolutely any type of injury, outside of a hospital, they are clearly the best of the best in their field. I would love to do this type of work. These men and women are saving so many lives, people who wouldn’t have made it to hospital in time and need a much quicker intervention by a Dr, who is able to carry out procedures and give stronger pain meds than a regular ambulance paramedic. I don’t understand why they aren’t part of the NHS. Or at least partly funded by the government. Hopefully, due to this series, making more of the general public in the UK aware of their services and lack of government funding, more people will donate to this life saving service. Thank you so much for posting this series online for those of us who wouldn’t be able to watch it otherwise. Can’t wait for the next episode to come out. I hope they continue to make this documentary program for a long time to come. 😀🖤🖤🖤🖤

Generally NHS are harder to fund and staff because of the political interplays between policy makers and medical staff. Because the funds are coming through government koffers politicians have more say than they should in areas that they have very little long term experience in. A medical administrator is a nurse or doctor that couldn't handle the stess of or wanted to get out of the crush of base level medical care. Independently funded endeavours put the medical field outside the purview of political changes and wait times.

Completely agree! I’m sick of medical programs censoring injuries and surgery footage. I used to watch a Veterinarian program that showed the surgery, they explained the processes and what they where doing and it was extremely educational for aspiring vets and vet students! Although I can’t become a Vet due to my health, it was something I aspired to be since I was very little and I still enjoy learning about Animal Husbandry. All the sudden though they started censoring the injuries and surgeries and eventually just cut out the surgeries all together. Really disappointing to see such an important educational opportunity lost because of pressure from KZread and other Hosting platforms.

As an aviation geek I was excited. Ten minutes into the flight, with an ambient temperature of 37C degrees and the confined space I was ready to land.

One of the most common reasons that people die after a traffic acxident, is unnecessary suffication.. so please people remember, if you are on a scene of an accident before paramedics have arrived, MAKE SURE that, the people hurt, airways are clear! If they sit in the chair with their cheek agains their chest, lift the cheeck upwards! So the airway is not obstructed! Many many more lives would be saved if this was a common knowledge! Many times people die bcs they are left, lying/sitting unconsious with the airway disturbed in some way, by the people who are there to help, totally unneccessary deaths.. don't just look if a person is breathing, you need to make sure that someone unconsious is atleast able to breath in the scense that nothing is blocking the airway!

These men and women are true heroes from Matthew over the pond in New York

Much love and respect for what you do.

I love the UK pleasantries. "have I been swearing? I don't know." "you'll need an operation to set it straight." "oh dear. Oh dear dear dear."

Ketamine is such a strange drug. "AAAAAAARRRRGGHH AAAAAAAHHH- Oh, hello. Where am I? AAAAAH AHHGGHRRGHH!!!"

Flying angels of mercy......

5:50 Ketamin is basically the only common narcotic/analgetic that doesn't affect breathing in usual doses. That is why it is so popular for trauma patients without the need for an intubation.

Unless being older, the elders can get affected with the breathing if given ketamine. That’s why they didn’t want to give any while the old man was stuck in the car, they didn’t want to take that risk.

Another great episode

What a kind man. ( The Dr from Hungary)

Dr Pam: Please wear your seatbelt in the ambulance❗️❣️❗️ You’re way too precious to take such chances❗️❗️❗️🤗❤️

So, I've seen this several times in these shows, they give ketamine and clearly the patient isn't happy about what they do after (moving them about etc) and shouts in pain (?). Yet it's a painkiller? Are they feeling the pain and just don't remember or do they actually feel nothing at all? It's bothering me a bit that they're giving ketamine and these people are feeling pain yet it's okay "because they don't remember"

People react differently to ketamine and some people are very vocal after taking it. They feel pain but it is nowhere near as severe and when their lives are in danger, pain is better than leaving them. I’ve been under ketamine before and don’t remember anything but my arm was severely broken so I’d say it’s worth it

It's a "disassociating" medication. You still feel pain but your brain really doesn't compute it. Used a lot on battle fields these days. A little like Midazolam.
