You know it's bad when a farmer stops working and willingly goes to hospital. Farmers are tough.
I could never figure out how people accidentally overdose but then one day I almost did. I didn't have my glasses on and I had forgotten to take my antibiotic. I got out of bed and took my normal dose of 3 pills of my antibiotic. Actually I took a triple does of Soma a muscle relaxer I had left over from some back spasms months ago. I was lucky I felt nauseous about 20 minutes later and puked them up. So that's how people accidentally overdose. I now have a pair of glasses right inside my medicine cabinet. No more being lazy and not putting my glasses on. I was very lucky.
My father did it befor he passed away like 10 yrs ago he was in a bad accident causing a traumatic brain injury which caused him to not be able to make new memories n hard time just remembering everyday tasks we didn't know it was that bad until he accidentally overdosed on his pain meds n seizure medicine n heart pills it scared me to death was glad it wasn't a fatal dose.. unfortunately August 22 will b 2 yrs since he passed which also happened to b 2 days after my b day I was who found him n I'm honestly glad I was who found him becuz anyone else wouldn't have been able to handle it..
Glad you’re still here ❤
Sound advice…
@@aliciapio188 so sorry that happened to you…
Mine passed 3 years ago & although it was expected it still is a shock to the system. Glad you were there for him & I truly believe he is at peace & watching over you…
Oh my I did the exact same thing with my medicine and went to work like fine and within a few minutes I was throwing up and had to get someone to drive me home.
I accidentally overdosed on my heart medication because it looks almost identical to my antidepressant. Ended up taking 800mg of the medication that I only take 200mg of. Got an ambulance ride, a few days in hospital, and a $20k bill for that mistake
I think every school should teach Cpr, and make it mandatory.
People need to be able to react on scene before the ambulance arrives.
I have so much admiration for the fantastic caring people who work for the ambulance service, on the ground and in the air.
The biggest problem in todays society they are bloody well filming the incident rather than helping or calling for help!!!😢
bit late but im 90% sure my school (highschool) made it manditory to be cpr certified (by passing tests n stuff during the health class we had to take) to graduate. so at the very least some kids from wisconsin are cpr certified lol.
Not everyone is someone that can jump in….. some people freeze up… which is why we can’t rely on people anymore especially bystanders we don’t know.
I felt particularly bad for James’ mum.
It’s really hard to witness when people just wait for the ambulance to arrive….
But I do think when we have absolutely no idea why someone is unconscious we tend to just wait “for the experts” to fix someone. I wish we could work on knowing you have the power to intervene and to help.
I could listen to Dr Crispin talk allllll day 🥰Her voice is so soothing she should narrate meditation videos!
Choosing to not ride again (on the street) after a bad motorcycle accident was a decision I made too!
When James responded “yeah” to the doctor was great
I had pethidine many many years ago , it slowed my heart rate down so much I was convinced that I was dying. Thank goodness it’s not used much anymore
Moral of this episode: Don't go into a pen with a bull in it unless you secure him first. When I was young we had a farm down the road that had all kinds of animals and they would let us come and help feed and play with them. They had a bull too, in his own big field with a sturdy fence. You sometimes couldn't see him if he was in a dip, but there was a big red sign on the fence saying "Unless you can run 200 yards in under 5 seconds stay out." Yeah, that huge lumbering-looking animal is surprisingly fast on his feet. This one had big horns too, measured at ~3.5 feet.
The BS they have to deal with! Saving a life on the farm, w/ the dangerous animal, still mad and still present! That's literal BS.
Great teamwork saving lives?Im proud of all of you.
It is sobering to see how many lives are saved and the compassion and good humour that really make the difference. Holding someone’s hand and offering reassurance is like a big hug❤
I don't watch to see the victim's, I come to witness hero's at work!
Best comment ever.😄
I watch for both. It’s nice to see someone at a really rough point in their lives being taken care of and nurtured by other humans, just as things should be. And it’s also incredible to see the sheer skills, compassion, patience, determination, strength, and more it takes to be a first responder
Nerve pain is a bastard to get under control, you either deal with it or .......
No pain meds can get under the problem, nerve pain sufferer
I know you are correct very painful
I now am allergic to penicillin due to having a Anaphylactic 2yrs ago like this although I’ve had it during surgeries & dental problems
I wish I knew if I was really allergic to penicillin. It would make things easier sometimes. My mom always said I was so I have to have it in my records - but I’m suspicious.
What a doctor!!! And team!
I’m surprised James was prescribed both narcotic pain meds and a benzo. The combination can be quite fatal.
He was so lucky not to be home alone.
He likely wasnt told. Which would be unfortunate
Here in the United States! Pain doctors make you sign something saying that you know you absolutely can't take benzos with pain meds. They check you every month. The problem is both can cause a low heart rate.
He may not have been prescribed both….He may have built a tolerance and took more than he was supposed too
Most doctors don’t prescribe morphine ESPECIALLY for back pain….. that’s a huge red flag
I love these videos, I want to be a future doctor so this prepares me so I know what I am getting into.
Sorry mate but this is not going to prepare u for anything. Sincerley a doctor
I hope your dream is coming true.Its 2023 US here ✌️❤️
That's a very smart attitude, from a smart man. Hope you decide to stick w/ the hard work and become a dr. Most people think doctors are overpaid (here in the US), but the years of school and the long hours often required on the job, from patients who don't thank you often, is worth it.
These videos were taken from the series Inside The Ambulance
Prayers for James 🙏 His Dr failed him by prescribing IM Morphine which should only be administered in a hospital for non cancer patients. They should NOT have prescribed him such a cocktail of strong meds without also giving him Narcan.
it’s nice to see that a doctor actually gave a shit about his pain…even though narcan should’ve been provided and educated about.
Dr Dion is the best
Do your research and don’t blindly trust doctors. I have chronic painful autoimmune illnesses and would not be able to function at all without pain management. I also take muscle relaxers for painful, frequent spasms and insomnia. I still hurt even with all I take. I can understand how he just had enough and took an extra dose, but they’re all sedatives. And terrible mixed. The diazepam is the kicker. That’s one of those things you should avoid at all costs with opiates. His doc really did fail him by stacking all that together. I feel for him and I truly hope he’s found better meds and safer relief 🤍
I hate motorcycles. So much suffering!
I love y’all and you are doing a fantastic job
Can someone please tell me why the hospital staff that comes to the heli pad to receive the patient have tanks on their backs?
At some hospitals they require firemen to meet every helicopter that comes in and have Oxygen ready in case something goes wrong.
Oxygen.
I think these people should be on trading cards. Why? Because they save lives at any time. They do their best work at 3000 feet in the air.mtime is not you friend. What ever they get paid it's not enough. Neal Apollo Beach Florida
ooo.. the bull one was definitely a nail biter. O. O
I might be wrong hope I am this man knew what he was doing .😢✌️❤️
Control is an illusion. You never have complete control, you can only make the best call you can based on the information in front of you. That includes listening to your intuition and experience to make that call. I would trust the call of those two professionals any day of the week, based on their experience.
As an Australian I think England has rather poor infrastructure. My country is something like 12 times the size and a 30 minute ambulance trip seems ridiculous.
Come to America 😂
In England a lot of roads are narrower than our Australian Streets Leading to longer travel times.
Like all things, it depends how rural your area is. I live metro Atlanta and have a hospital within minutes of me, and several others that I can get to within 20-30 via ambulance even in traffic. That’s probably 10-15 different emergency centers within half an hour via ambulance. But the more spread out people are, the farther from the cities, the farther it’s gonna be to a hospital. Doesn’t make much sense to build a hospital for a population of 1000 in the middle of nowhere.
In fact, as a kid we went to the beach in Florida, THOUSANDS of people around, but all tourists. My folks got food poisoning so severe they couldn’t walk and the nearest hospital was 2 hours away at that time… there just aren’t going to be hospitals where there aren’t populations to sustain them.
🙄
already seen ..
I’ve seen someone having an anaphylactic reaction. Her face was swollen and she was purple. Makes me wonder…..
They should have given the BULL a tranquilizer! Scared me to death!
No, not a repeat! What a let down :(
fantastic
I seent it
Does anyone know where the firefighters are coming from when the helicopter lands at the hospital?
I wonder too
I've seen them quite allot in those videos
Food allergies suck. When I tell people I have them they treat me like a wuss. They're nothing tho laugh at people!
Agreed I have allergies too. They aren't life threatening but they are still unpleasant. Being itchy from being completely covered in hives while dealing with intense stomach cramping and major diarrhea isn't funny! I don't see why anyone would think that.
That's just cruel!
At 27:53 I learned how to pilot a helicopter! And I didn't stay at a Howard Johnson's hotel.
Why is often firefighters are on the helipads of hospitals? Is there a reason for it? I understand if there are doctors and nurses on the helipad, but why do I see firefighters on the hospital roof often? I am just curious because this is unusual.
Helicopters are full of jet fuel. If one were to crash on top of a hospital, the consequences could be a major disaster
Here on the US firefighters are dispatched any when Emergencies are called out. The extra hands help A LOT!!!!
At some hospitals they require firemen to meet every helicopter that comes in and have Oxygen ready in case something goes wrong.
I think it could cause many deaths if the helicopter catches fire or tips on landing. They carry lots of fuel. It is on the roof of the hospital after all.
I wonder how British electric company set up their power lines. I see not many power line. Help the chopper land.
Mostly underground
It’s quite easy if you are very ill and are alone
Mistakes made with Cat
Zazur motorcycle 🏍️

Get his head off the pillow!!
Zazur helicopter 🚁
Zazur pasta 🍝
Her GCS I would give would be 10 not 15
Thank you for your medical opinion.😂
On motorcycle and it a car. How come he has his glasses on?🤓
He was wearing a full face helmet which would’ve prevented them from being thrown off in the crash. It’s also easy to remove a helmet without taking the glasses off.
The daughter looks so cute!
Why do they still talk in miles, feet etc, the UK went metric in 1965…just sounds weird, or are they trying to attract a USA audience?
All i know is if i was the farmer and the bull kicked me, I would have Steak for dinner
facts hahah
This would not solve the problem...
@chiefhunter3426
If it's a pedigreed bull needed for raising good calves, you will probably think twice. It would be a very expensive steak! 😅😂😅😂
😅😅😅
200mg oral morph in 12 hours, pethidine injection, 55mg valium (diazepam)
all of that in 1/2 a day is not a normal therapeutic dose. that is a recreational dose to get wasted.
Chronic pain is a BRUTE that can take over a person’s life. A friend’s brother was injured by an IED in Iraq and took his life two years later because he couldn’t live with the pain. I’m 4 weeks from a full shoulder dislocation and the constant pain (despite strong non-narcotic painkillers) is quite draining physically and emotionally - it’s hard to sleep at night and concentrate on work during the day.
So from my perspective it’s quite easy to see how James overdosed: he was just seeking relief and when one medication didn’t work, he tried some more. I’m at the point with my shoulder where I’m about to ask my doctor to give me a mild opiate even though I hate how they make me feel.
Hes just a guy trying to control his pain. Dont be judgey now
