Bondi Rescue is an Australian reality show about the lifeguards who work at Bondi Beach in Sydney. They have a YouTube channel where they upload a ton of their most amazing clips, so I decided to take a look and evaluate their skills from a medical perspective. Today we talk about drowning, CPR, chest compressions, the difference between CPR on land and in the sea, dislocated fingers, dislocated hips, seizures, diabetes, blue bottles or jellyfish stings, scrapes, and all other injuries that can occur when surfing or swimming in the ocean. Are there any clips I missed? Let me know down below!

A NEW episode of MORE Rescues! https://youtu.be/9UZXzjymkdc

G'day Doctor Mike! Our lifeguards always do their best in the most critical of situations. If you're ever Down Under, you're always welcome at Bondi 🤙 Important to note that some of these situations depict CPR methods that are over 10 years old, check in with your local first aid training centre on the latest resuscitation methods!
-
Just wanted to add, that this show has been running since 2006, and guidelines and training were different back then—especially for CPR. The lifeguards do as they are trained and their practices change over the years to fit the updated guidelines. Also, training is different from country to country so what you see as a mistake might be what they're taught to do.
-
Aussies are all so calm in these situations, including the ones who are hurt. I found it funny how the guys finger was dislocated and he was just showing it off HAHA
-
As a lifeguard myself, we always ask for medical history. It helps out a lot when EMS eventually gets there, we can explain everything that's gone on.
-
These Bondi dudes and dudettes are amazing. Yes, they may not do everything perfectly but they save thousands of lives every year! And whilst not seen in this video the way they read the surf and get people in is amazing!
-
Man, that father telling his kid ”enough” while in excruciating pain broke my heart. Poor boy
-
I love how he's a doctor but still gets grossed out when he sees some things. Like the dislocated knee.
-
"Slightly out its broken my guy" 😂😂😂😂 As someone who has had a dislocated femur I can say the "pop" back in was louder than expected and extremely painful.
-
An Aussie saying "mate" has got to be one of the most soothing things to hear when your anxious about your medical issue. That or "love"/"hun".
-
Everyone: oh how terrible that he got stung 😮 Dr. Mike: “It’s actually really cool how this happenes”
-
i love watching the videos from the folks at bondi... that first video, they did take him to the hospital (as they should) and later, he came back to the beach to thank the lifeguards and watched the video of him being saved! he was very grateful.
-
My first week lifeguarding (indoor pool) someone ran on the pool deck, slipped, and *sliced their tricep open on a tile stair way*. Blood everywhere, trauma for the guy and everyone who cried, vomited, and fainted that day (it was a two dollar swim day, very popular among families, and young teenagers who had the day off and not a ton of money to spend) I think I used 2/3 of my life guard and CPR training with the exception of the defib that day. Good welcome to the party 😂

"Okay dad, maybe give your son a hug." THANK YOU. You don't man up your son by invalidating his pain. You actually damage his trust in you and soon you'll be wondering why he hasn't called you in over a month.
-
So long as you're knowledgeable, aware of your surroundings, and respectful, ocean is the perfect place to grow up. It's the raw, beautiful power of nature. Plus saltwater and swimming can be healing.
-
Thank you to everyone that has saved, attempted to save, or is training to save lives! I am nowhere near doing that for a living. I have been a teacher for about 10 years and have had mandatory CPR training twice through two different jobs. I hope more jobs make this a priority! I really enjoy watching your videos, Dr. Mike!
-
For those wondering, the green whistle is Methoxyflurane, a non-opioid pain reliever. It is an analgesic used by medical practitioners, the defence forces, ambulance paramedics, sports clubs and surf lifesavers to administer emergency pain relief. It's non-addictive and simple to administer, making it an excellent choice for situations where fast-acting and uncomplicated relief is needed.
-
I was a lifeguard and watching cpr still gives me chills. That first time you do it and you feel the cracking of the persons chest is unforgettable
-
I love how he’s actually a doctor and not one of those fake ones who give u fake tips! Because when I found out that my sister had something called epilepsy or something like that which you could have a seizure at any moment my mom told me to turn her on her side and to give her medicine so Ty I learn a lot from u!
