How Do You Deal With Death? Paramedic Answers Your Questions | Honesty Box

Thank you to Deena for taking part! TikTok - @aerialparamedic

This lady is a hero. She was stabbed and had a gapping hole in her chest and her only concern was her partner surviving? What an absolute badass.

You looked after my wife when she was at one of the worst points in her life. Thank you for service.

My sister's ex was a paramedic and what he saw on a near daily basis, is stuff no one should have to see. I wish I had the guts to become a paramedic, but I'm not afraid to admit I am way too mentally frail for it. MASSIVE respect to our paramedics and NHS workers.

As a Community Nurse, Paramedics are some of the most valuable people in the Health Service. Do not know what i’d do without them in all honesty.

As a coroners transporter, getting on scene and seeing the paramedics that have obviously tried everything to save this person and the person has died…seeing how broken and sometimes shell shocked they are is just heartbreaking. And then spending the time to check in on them and if allowing the space if they want to debrief and talk, we will always give so much of our time if they need us on those scenes. Paramedics are amazing. I deal with trauma everyday, but it’s a totally different ball game with paramedicine. We get on scene and they’ve already died, but they get on scene and the person may still be alive, maybe they spoke, they saw their last moments and fear. I’ll take my job of picking up afterwards any day over those experiences.

I'm from Australia but I still thank you for your service and any emergency service workers

Paramedics save your life ! Hospitals keep you alive. First responders are the ones that make sure you get to where you are going alive. Thankyou for your service 😊🇬🇧

She’s awesome, and I’m going to say, so are her colleagues. Fantastic. Every time I’ve encountered a paramedic it’s been quite the incredible experience. They’re so cool and collected and capable, it’s inspiring.

She seems like she has such a calming presence and has a calming voice. If ever I need a paramedic to save me, I hope they are as calm and soothing as she is. Edit Haha she just said the be calm in an emergency. "When you're in that situation you'll know what to do" she's right. Last year my older sister had a massive stroke at 45. I was the one who found her laying on the floor in her room. Asked her what she was doing. Said she fell. I asked if she needed help up. She said yes. I grabbed her right hand and pulled and said "give me your other hand.. give me your other hand.. DUDE give me your hand" "I can't move my arm" internally I said "..... Oh shit" I looked at her and said " look at me and smile right now" and only half her face moved. I said "I'm gonna put you back down okay I'll be right back okay?" Walked outside her room called 911 called our mom. The ambulance station is literally 200 feet away from my house thankfully. She heard the sirens "is that for me?" "Yeah, it is. Don't worry about that. How long you been down there?" Just trying to keep things ... normal I guess? Mom and ambulance showed up, the paramedics do their thing, they take her, they leave. It was THEN that precise moment they were out of the driveway, that I lost my shit and completely fell apart. Man.. that sucked so bad. I have so much trauma from it.

You can just tell she is genuinely such a good, caring, and kind woman. Bless you Deena!

when my sister became a nurse the most immediate change in her like opinions on resuscitation was THAT there's a lot of scenarios where you don't want to be resuscitated because the person who has revived isn't going to really be you at that point, and you might be just trapped in total misery for some brief period of time that you're alive still technically and then you die anyway

This woman is amazing she seems like such a good spirit and Yh honestly so thankful to her and all the other paramedics in the world thanks for u for your service ❤

As a hospital doctor who has also done an EMP job for 2 years. I can tell you that 100% the ambulance job is harder.

My (now retired) grandfather was a paramedic for almost all of his working life. Huge respect for paramedics. Vital for our societies and it's a job I'd be awful at.

I cried when she described what was happening after she got stabbed. She still thought more of her partner and her boss than about herself. Thank Heavens and the doctors for saving her!

I have CPTSD and it's horrible. Therapy has helped me greatly but it never completely goes away. I can tell she has it by the way she laughs (IFYYK). I wish the best for Deena, she seems like a lovely person.

One of our many heroes on the Paramedic and NHS staff. A massive thank you.

That’s snot the fluid I was expecting to be the worst.

This woman has seen and been through so much! God bless! ❤
