Extreme A&E - Trauma Unit in Johannesburg | Medical Documentary | Reel Truth. Science

in this country they would open the chest with that cardiac arrest stab wound. obviously lack of resources there

does she not realise her mask isnt covering her nose lol

I wish he had given a little of the history behind the J’bg Trauma Unit - it was called ‘Accident Service’ until the early 1980s, and the Trauma Unit was formally established around 1983 by Prof Kenneth Boffard.
It was then the only Level 1 Trauma Unit (US Society of Surgeons’ classification) on the African continent.
He started the Air Ambulance Service (known as Flight for Life) around the same time - I was the Chief Flight Doctor for 1996-2001.

Should have gave more credit to the nurses

So very sad, not even working equipment. Terrible😢

Waiting time in a trauma unit (with suspected stroke!) is anywhere between 23 and 27 HOURS! Not in private healthcare, though - this is a reality in public health care. I am surprised that these horrible conditions are never exposed to the world!

They have to get the necessary tools for this hospital. The white doctor with that dam hammer was literally struggling becuz she didn't have the appropriate tool. This country is provided with a lot of aid each year what the hell are these African leaders doing?

Dark tablea Aquino terrado cocoa ...

thank god I am not a doctor .... what a miserable sad workplace

God Bless our doctors THEY ARE VERY Essential ❤🙏🏾…

Have not been in hillbrow for. 60 years Then it was more or less safe

I don’t know that and I live in South Africa. But here they are responsible for 90 percent of the violence murders rapes and every other assault

But as a south African I am Impressed with what I see !

And in these hospitals. The docters and nurses are never safe. People come in to finished off the stabbed people and attack the staff also come in to rob them

Daughter worked in trauma. And saw screwdrivers sticking out of back axe in head Stabb wounds. None bothered her then small boy came in drowned and they tried to resuscitate him but could not ! She came home in tears !

I had a friend in the UK and he came to South Africa to work on the trauma unit at barra , he said that he. Got more experience there than ever before !

So much quieter than the U.S.

I think it’s very dangerous what the A&E consultant has done. You can elicit tamponade physiology clinically without even need of an echo. Then smashing the sternum with chisel, will condemn that pt to prolonged hospital stay with significant morbidity. The pt had no indication of a median sternotomy and may have been done for purposes of filming. Jiggly saw is also readily available.

Just seems brutal to be awake while you're getting a tube into the lung. Should have the paramedic done a 3 sided occlusive?

You don’t see stabbing and gunshots in Kenya? Riiiight. You probably see explosions and genital mutilations.

WOW BARBARIC

That's why death is worth so much money because some people cant live with each other you dont just kill the victim you kill his family as well

Proof gun control doesn’t stop violence. Sounds like they suffer from the similar corruptions of many South American countries. People are desperate to make money but don’t have many ways to make it b

What’s worse the knife or the chisel?

A hospital line that should have better tools

Hearts are amazing

What is the song in the beginning?!

WELCOME TO THE NEW SOUTH AFRICA...

So many of the injuries coming in involve Alcohol? Maybe its time to tighten laws

So what I’ve learned is if you get stabbed, you go to the hospital to get stabbed some more.

Omg i did one rotation as this hospital for 3 months , amazing experience. Currently the cheif resident at Mass General.

The second patient, nobody mentioned how many shocks were given neither did they show. Just CPR and no shocks and pronounced dead?

thank you . this is very interesting documentary . great team .

Get these ppl some better equipment

All those stabbing a would be gunshot wounds if it was America like there guns are harder to get

Appalachia in the US is poorer than many black areas where the murder rate is much higher. Culture and genetic differences have plenty to do with it as well. Some very revealing research in genetic differences published in the last 10 years...obviously not very publicized, but its factual to say Africans on average have less activity in the frontal cortex and cerebral volume is smaller.

15 years for possession of a firearm...thank God I live in the USA, where the second amendment says we have the right to bear arms.

This is exciting but sad at the same time.

That is a public hospital tho

Oooooof this is scary I don’t think I’m going to any violent city’s I’ll probably get ko by everyone

Love the white demo drawing on top he shows us. Helps to know where all are stuff lays:) This series is very watchable

AS LONG AS YOU REPAIR THE BODY TO FUNCTION THEN THE PERSONS SOLE CAN RETURN TO IT IF YOU JUSG LEAVE IT UN FIXED THE SOUL WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PASS OVER NO MATTER HOW LONG THE PERSON IS DEAD IT DONT MATTER AS LONG AS YOU CAN FIX THE BODY ENOUGH EVERYONE COULD COME BACK UNLESS THE BODY IS IN DISSREPAIR

The way these doctors are excited about those brutal injuries 😂

Professor Moeng. The best indeed. I was assistng him in the operation room a month ago. very great.
