MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Day in the Life of a Doctor Shadowing a FLIGHT PARAMEDIC!

Join me as I spend the day with flight paramedics in helicopters!! As a doctor I don't usually see patients before they arrive at the hospital with a medical emergency, so it's fascinating to see this process! Plus riding in a helicopter is a pretty amazing work environment!

Huge thank you to Mike, Evan and Ornge for this incredible experience!

My friend's newborn was flown from a small hospital to Toronto and this made me tear up. I appreciate them more than I can describe

My dad was airlifted to hospital when I was 10. He fell off a 20+ foot ladder flat on his back at a construction job. The doctors at the hospital thought he wasn't ever going to walk again. We later find out, he broke his spine in 2 places but had NO damages to his spinal cord.

Thanks to the spinal treatment from the paramedics, he walked out of the hospital. I'm 20 years old now and he can run and walk better than ever.

I have so much respect for air ambulances and thank them for taking care of my dad and keeping him calm during the flight to the hospital.

Air Ornge is a common sound and sight here in Norfolk County, Ontario. Countless lives have been saved by the accessibility of emergency care through Air Ornge and their skilled paramedics. We are so grateful for ever single flight they make here to assist trauma victims.

I love how humble you are and respect the other medical professionals that help the team run smoothly.

So cool seeing the whole process our patients go through before they come to our ICU. We work very closely with Ornge paramedics! Great video, & hope you're enjoying your trip!

My brother (an Emergency Specialist) doesn't go out on the helicopters as much as he used to, but he absolutely loved working on them. It helps if you're a bit of an adrenaline junkie! Now he controls them from the ground mainly, but will go out any chance he gets. I can't even get on a helicopter such is my fear of heights and flying. I hope you enjoyed your day with the crew.

I’ve been watching your channel for years and as a Paramedic I was SO excited to see you shadow these two! I’m a street medic but still, super cool! Maybe you could ride along with a ground crew one of these days as well. I feel like what we do is sometimes not entirely understood by both the public and the rest of the healthcare system at large so it might a good education opportunity! :)

Can I just say I really appreciate you showing the whole day as it was not just the highlights.
So many content creators would chop and change to only show the exciting bits but the reality is that things don’t go as planned, things get cancelled or we can’t do something for various reasons. I really appreciate how genuine and authentic you are!

Omg! Thank you so much for highlighting the important work ORNGE does…. these guys are amazing. I was an ambulance dispatcher in Lindsay and frequently spoke to 7799 on the radio. I also live in Peterborough and worked at PRHC! You rock. Thank you for this insight. 😊

In Australia we have similar issues - we're a huge country with hundreds of kilometres between major capital city hospitals, creating a challenge for accident and emergency treatment in rural areas. The Flying Doctor, a charity that's been going for decades, flies to injured or severely ill patients in remote areas and evacuates them to hospital, but there's never enough money to help everyone. We also have medical evacuation helicopters that sometimes have corporate sponsorship because that's the only way to fund them. The staff of all these services do an amazing job!

I love this flight paramedics. I’ve been save three times because of them. 2 for a heart attacks and 1 going into a Cardiac Arrest. I’ve flown a total of 5 times in a helicopter and once in a jet. Each and every time was an emergency and I am so very lucky and great full to be alive. I owe this men and women so much and I thank them for everything they do. You’re awesome Siobhan and we love you hun. Thank you for everything you do and stand for. Sending love from Colorado Springs CO.

As an ER nurse I have a tonne of exposure to the ORNGE crews; am always impressed by their skills.

I joined the same station on Toronto Island last year as part of my EMS fellowship, and I have always been fascinated by what they do as flight paramedics.

About a year ago my Dad had to be transported in a flight like this after he was in a fire. He spent 41 days in the Burn ICU. He survived thanks to people like these flight paramedics! They were his angels!!

I’m currently in my dietetic internship so it’s so interesting to learn how these professions work. It really makes you appreciate everyone’s job no matter how small you think it is

My daughter had to be rushed by helicopter when she was diagnosed with Leukemia at 14months old. I was terrified but the helicopter pilot and emergency personal on the helicopter made me feel at ease. The pilot even came in with me and sat next to me holding my hand for the time the ICU was trying to figure out everything. He said when they cure your daughter tell her she gets a free helicopter rode anytime she wants.

Cool video. Most folks don't know that flight paramedics are elite healthcare officers. They are ready for almost anything. The helicopter is a great tool to get them to the scene swiftly. Aorta dissection? Hope the guy made it.
Thanks for the videos!!👍❤️
