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!

    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!
  • @royalsea
    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.
  • @maddiew2223
    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
  • "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.
  • @bringerod5141
    Man, that father telling his kid ”enough” while in excruciating pain broke my heart. Poor boy
  • @JoelWende
    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!
  • I love how he's a doctor but still gets grossed out when he sees some things. Like the dislocated knee.
  • @kyrie6910
    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.
  • @ansal847
    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".

    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.
  • @cjwarrior5091
    Everyone: oh how terrible that he got stung 😮
    Dr. Mike: “It’s actually really cool how this happenes”
  • @cathh3301
    FYI some of these Bondi Rescue eps are from 15yrs ago - we’ve learned a lot about CPR since then. Also the good thing about having the cameras is that the resusses are reviewed after with lifeguards to improve technique.
  • 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 😂
  • @laurenclear8978
    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!
  • @s.a.chord4879
    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
  • As a lifeguard for over 6 years ive treated a lot of these symptoms before and helped a lot. From doing CPR on drowned victums to spinal injuries off diving boards. A lot of people think its just the 'teen lazy job'. And for the 70-80% of the time, yeah, we look like we arent doing much but we have to be constantly aware of everyone in the body of water. And there is a surprsing amount of training, I like that this show doesnt gloss over a lot of things. WHile yes we arent doctors and we dont have as much qualifications we can keep someone going long enough for EMS to get there. Its honestly a wonderful feeling knowing you saved someone and having them come back to thank you.

    8:37 as soon as i saw that knee go back into place my heart literally skipped a beat like i could just feel the pain
