Incredible Medical Rescue Videos

That teenager putting his own life in danger without hesitation to save that boy by diverting the pit bull’s attention onto him is without a doubt the definition of heroism. He is amazingly selfless and courageous. His parents/guardians raised him right. Then seeing him give the boy a hug made me tear up. Such a traumatic experience they shared.

That baby saving the other baby makes me amazed at how the human body can just pull strength out of nowhere in dire situations. (+a bit of adrenaline)

11:45 I instantly started crying at this one because the teenager had to legitimately be so fcking brave. To save a kid that’s a stranger or just a neighbor. It’s also so impactful when you think about how terrifying that is for a child vs a more prepared adult. Taking the threat away from an innocent kid when you’re probably terrified too… what a hero

That baby catch was INSANE if you stop to think about what had to go into that response time. He had to go from seeing, to processing, to yelling, to running, to catching all within seconds. I find it hard to believe that that was anything other than an engrained compassion and instinct to protect. Was it even his conscious decision to save his brother or is that just who he is deep down? That was nuts. That baby has an amazing older brother

As a survivor of IPV, thank you. A lot of people will say, “just leave” but that is easier said than done in a lot of situations. I was in the relationship for two years before I was able to get help, and my doctor was my hero in that situation. I’m so grateful that he believe me and came to my rescue in a way I didn’t expect.

Ex-Veterinary Nurse here, the wheelbarrow technique is super important, thank you for mentioning that!! Lifting the hind legs throws the dog off balance and decreases the likelihood of being bitten.

I'm not a person who normally cries but this video got me emotional, especially that last one. Mike is such a good person, teaching us stuff like he did in video, and not just teaching it to us, but explaining like we're 5 with simple words. Excellent job Dr Mike.

I love what Doctor Mike said about using humor and not making her the target—that’s very validating to me as someone who has spent a lot of time in hospitals and had some doctors and nurses make fun of me—they act like it’s just teasing but sometimes it really isn’t, and is harmful. Like gaslighting being played off as a joke

As a mortician I cannot express how right you are about not turning your back on a child near water or on an elevated surface. It happens so fast in baths and puddles.

Yesterday my friends’ son dropped dead at school from an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. He was resuscitated twice with chest compressions before he even made it to the hospital. The odds of him surviving were extraordinarily low, but he made it through because of the hard work of the school nurse and the EMTs who kept him alive until he could get to the hospital. CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS!

As someone who has been in the midst of IPV, I have never heard it called that. I am so thankful that you included that in your video. I never thought it would happen to me, but anyone struggling -- ask someone for help! You think it is your fault or you deserve it, but no matter what, you simply DO NOT!!! 💜

I'm glad you touched on the appropriate use of humor in emergencies. I'm approaching my 6th year as an EMT, I've worked on the street in an ambulance and in the hospital as an ER/ED technician and met plenty of freshly minted docs , medics and RNs in emergency medicine who, for lack of a better term, act too seriously. I hope, much like I did, more of these greener than grass newcomers to emergency medicine find your channel and learn even while being entertained. While I was lucky enough to have FTOs and partners that shared their experience on this topic, my own sort of trial by fire that was an important lesson for me. We were running an interfacility transfer for an older male who fell almost 12 feet off a free-standing ladder, X-Ray confirmed pelvic fracture in 2 spots, total dislocation and separation of the left femur at the hip and knee and suspected bleeding in the pelvic bowl. Level 3 trauma center received him by personal vehicle, and we were moving him to a level 1 trauma center. He was conscious, alert and aware by 4 even on a pretty serious cocktail of narcs and understandably scared. We couldn't have family on board because of local SOPs and space restrictions in the unit because we were in a sprinter van and not a full-sized box. I found out he's a Marine who spent some time in an eastern Asian country during conflict, which happened to be the same place and time my own grandfather was an active Marine. The instant rapport that built allowed me to join him in making jokes that might otherwise seam out of place for other people. As we pulled up to the receiving hospital, he asked me if he was going to die. I guess you can call it a twist on SGM Daly's quote from 1918, but I told him "We all die, it's just a matter of time, but do you want to live forever". Again, it probably seams off color too most people, but in the moment, it got a good laugh from the old devil dog even as we unloaded. I wish this story ended on a more positive note, the level 1 center took him in and into surgery, but he went into cardiac arrest in the OR, and they weren't able to get him back. The family contacted our agency sometime later and said even as they were prepping him for surgery, he was in high spirits, making jokes and laughing even as the anesthesiologist put him under. I like to think that short time in the back of the unit with me was a contributing factor in keeping him positive and made what happened to be the last minutes of his life as comfortable and positive as they could have been for him and his family.

“I can’t even carry him so I don’t know how that happened… and I can’t even run that fast!” Sounds like the kid had his first adrenaline rush. Good on him saving his younger sibling!

Not enough kudos to that teacher for saving the kid, she immediately performed the Heinrich maneuver without hesitation and made no mistakes, overall great teacher who clearly cares for her kids.

That teen that saved that kid is amazing, we need more people in the world like that.

None of my babies ever fell of the changing table because I changed them on the floor. Knowing that I might have to get one or the other item I needed at some time, this was the solution that solved the problem once and for all. Most of the things that make a baby comfortable on a changing table work perfectly fine on the floor, the baby can roll any direction it wants to - you'll find it eventually - most importantly - unharmed. I highly recommend this method.

I have to say how proud I am of the last lady to coordinate her own rescue. She was truly brave!

I am truly just in awe over the young man who literally ran towards danger to help that little boy being mauled. He is an extraordinary human being

3:50 that kid has a future in football, in all seriousness amazing act of heroism to save his younger sibling. Well done lad

Honestly, the advice to pinpoint a specific person to call 911 is really on point. Its part of the bystander effect; if you dont designate one person to call, everyone will be assuming you dont mean them, and someone else will do it. Then no one calls. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, EVERYONE will call and flood the lines to 911. Thats a main thing i was taught in my first aid class and with how a group will act in that situation, its better to give the job to one person.
