Rescue 911 - Episode 314 - Unconscious driver

[Kleman09]

I remember my family watched this when i was a kid. i was just in preschool then and was learning all about 911 and how it helps people! Im 19 now and love to watch shows that remind me of simpler days.

[equarg]

I have called 911 3 (or 4) times to report possible drunks, I learned one was latter arrested and high on drugs, but they did not weave that much! If they were and there as not a cop or ambulance in sight I would try to safely stop it. I don't care what the insurance company would say about it. If I don't do anything someone died due to my inaction and I would never forgive my self. If I died trying to stop the car, it would be ok ,because I died trying to save someone else.

[brockway86]

pekin hospital is terrible. they hire the drs that local hospitals deny. if you went to the ER with a splinter in your finger plan on coming out with a leg amputated.

[BabyBopRocks]

That's dangerous that the person and child is uncions or drunk.

[thiefrules]

the car was a ford probe

[ICEMANof92]

6:15 "ambulance drivers" really, after they did that for you, you're going to call them that?

[styx4ever1963]

Paramedics and police officiers are such brave people God bless them all for making us a safe place to live in and helping people in need!

[driftbuddy]

i have epilepsy and i can tell u it IS NOT FUNN!!!

[tinjmail]

why can't the paramedics drive in front of the car and slowly stop it?

[kjandkat]

i wish i coud have voted to get this show back on tv its so amazing they should do it any ways

[robertthacker20]

i will like to know when will show be comeing on tv i hope it dose soon i miss this show

[Puregrl05]

I know this isn't a funny situation but i couldn't help but to laugh at that little boy sitting on the side just chillin'

[HoneiiDiiva]

he sounds german that doc

[OneSkiWonder]

5:26 I burst out laughing, the doctor sounds like the crazy guy in the 2nd ghost buster movie. Or was it the 3rd? I know it wasn't the first lol. It's the one where they are fighting evil slime that grows when people are pissed off. The doc sounds just like the crazy dude in that video... lol

[zzzzdreamzzz]

yes!! yosh or whatever his name was the guy from the museum lol soon as i heard it i knew exactly who you meant!

[mrledfeb]

i loved this program but there is one that is not on utube but i am sure i will find it

[allgood2000]

There are still a lot that aren't on youtube. Which one were you looking for?

[jrcr1]

wow i remember when this was a new episode, use to drive that road daily, thats my dads firebird in the :32 shot. Trust me not many people had an 82 brown firebird in that town. Im feeling old!

[durangoandsilverton]

coool

[quadromag]

Skillz of the ambulance dudes.

[Rayster35]

That is why it is important that you are fully fit and have no dieaseses to drive, otherwise can result in an accident.

[GNL995]

NEVER EVER EVER!!! Put your child in the front seat of the car when he is in a car seat!!

[BamaE92]

Good advice! Just to justify it in this case though, back in that day cars generally didn't have airbags therefore it really wasn't anymore dangerous to have car seats up front.  Back in the late-80's when I was of car seat age my parents used to put me up front too.

[Gazdatronik]

Before airbags, it was still okay to do that.

[silverelf666]

NEVER EVER EVER!!! Assume you know what you're talking about when you're watching a show from the late 80's/early 90's BEFORE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN INVENTED!

[Lauryn21090]

the transmissions wouldnt blow up.. i'll drop out da bottom of it.. stupid.

[ipie55]

better then doing nothing

[jamin108]

the doctor is funny

[summerslam1988]

Dang. Did everyone see that really old car seat? What a death trap!

[lowcomden]

bella roba

[supatra75]

the best thing is u alive and your child alive.

[NASCARFreak1699]

my god love this show what is going on that it can come back on TV or DVD?

[Nicole4ever74]

in the desc theres a website where you can vote but that was like 1 year ago (when they uploaded it ) so idk you can try to vote for it to go to tv or dvd again

[mom2ck]

People with medical conditions shouldn't be allowed to drive.

[vickiormindyb]

People who drink alcohol shouldn't be allowed to drive, but they get their licenses back even after receiving two or three 'driving while intoxicated' citations.

It's amazing how few people care about that until after some other driver is hurt or killed by a drunk driver.

In my work as a Paramedic, I see drunk driving accidents 3 and 4 times a month.

I can't remember the last time I saw an accident caused by a medical condition.

[NewsFan2]

If every person with a medical condition wasn't able to drive, no matter how minor the medical condition is, half or more of the people of the world would probably off the road.

[niels0827]

I have diabetes. I control it well. I also control my car well. I have never once struck anybody or anything with my car, nor have I had a blackout. I think you, at 44 years old, should know better than to judge people with medical conditons and wish they'd lose their privelages. By the time you lose your vision and what's left of your sanity due to old age, I'll still be on the road.

[margaret46550]

She didn't know, she was diagnosed at the hospital. You really shouldn't be stereotypical either. If the medical problem is small enough like diabetes or heart failure that would mean they would be allowed to drive. Not everyone has perfect health.

[geffrod]

you'll be singing a different tune when you develop one.... AND YOU EVENTUALLY WILL AS WILL I.

[joshguy64]

sometimes medical conditions like blackouts or seizures can strike without warning, so you cant just say "people with medical conditions shouldnt be allowed to drive", because these things can strike your body without warning.

[tumblechick3216]

that is just wrong bascially you are saying I cant drive just becasue i or other people have medical conditions. If I have a medical condition doesnt mean I cant drive when I grow up

[AshtonLover7806]

it all depends what kind of medical conditions they are cuz i have one but its not bad...i had open heart surgeries but its nothing that will get in the way of me being able to drive...if its someone that has seizers or blackouts i do agree....or someone that has that sleeping disorder...but just cuz ppl have that doesnt mean they cant drive..they have every right and they want to be treated like everyone else and not be judged by that

[OneSkiWonder]

People who aren't perfect themselves shouldn't say what others can or cannot do.

[TheYellowTaxi]

bad idea to put a car in park when its in motion, the transmission could blow up

[jakesaintsrow123]

especially that its a ford probe they wernt that reliable thats why theirs not that many on the roads today they looked sporty but were junk cars

[davinp]

Yea, Ford only made them for a few years then discontinued it.

[redeyes232]

if they did not throw it into park the both would of died they did what they had to do

[highlanderhybrid]

My car won't go into park when in motion, it just goes into Neutral

[6324776]

this is my favourite episode

[KittyKarryAll]

Wow that is scary!!! I would be afraid to drive alone again especially with my child in the car! Especially since she said there were no warning signs to her that she would black out. That could happen again!

[ChomuSclavus]

I remember watching this very episode when I was little. I'm so glad I found it again after well over 10 years!

[puppyshoes]

That Scares me to Death

[Sabers76]

Good Job

[davinp]

I guess it didn't have brake shift interlock back then where you have to brake before shifting into park

[Terri3210]

God indeed put ♥angels♥ in the right place at the right time....

God Bless the ♥♥helpers of the *Lord.

[hudsonboy100]

amen to that terri3210

[MZK83]

cipokkkkkkkkkkkk

[pierzedntattooed]

did i hear the dispacher say there was no officer avail at that time?

And what is that kid doing in the front seat?

[allgood2000]

This was 1990, before most cars had airbags.

[GarfieldVsSnoopy]

When Did Airbags Debut?

[puppyshoes]

I wish I Knew

[allgood2000]

I don't remember. Probably in the early 90's, but I don't think they became standard until the mid to late 90's. My parents first bought a vehicle with an airbag in 1993 or 1994.

[iraqidolphin]

We have new rules to live by that people did not back then. Now we know car seats should expire cause winter causes unseen cracking in the seats over time.

[starcraftguy1]

very touching!!

[aran125]

Another Old school episode. Great show.

[kgcwhazup]

they should have got in front of it and let the car come to them Thats a hell of a long ass run

[mattharden1982]

ill whip yo ass

[babybookworm003]

her seizure was something in between a petite mal and a grandmal i have had a couple of those little black outs before

[lionattacksa]

that cute little guy was just looking like a prince

[nyprincess10001]

Cool what they did

[MySeizures]

Thanks God for Ambulance drivers, Emergency Technician & Fire fighters, YOU ARE EVERY DAYS HEROES,,, You deserve a Nobel prize.

[bigbrorob07]

No doubt about it. EMT & Fire and Rescue deserve a lot of recognition.

[redeyes232]

sorry man did not mean to take down your score by one i hit the wrong button but you are right they do deserve a lot of thanks and recognition

[lionattacksa]

what about cops

[MySeizures]

I'm sure many COPS are HEROS, every day risking thier life to perform their duties and secure society. Most are decent hard working folks. But the very few BULLY, who step out of line AFFECT & INFLUENCE drastically the lives of many families, the very people the COPS claim to "Protect & Serv", making society unsafe and their proffessional coworkers look bad.

I think the good COPS need to stand out, speak up & stop the very few bad cops, who make them look bad.

[TracyLawrenceFan]

wow nice run and nice save!

[Maryanne247]

I don't think it is. It is like at least 2 hours outside of Peoria. It takes my family forever to get to Pekin from Peoria.

[righthandglove1]

I live in Peoria. Pekin is only about 20 minutes from Peoria.Pekin's population is between 30,000-35,000.

[Carson331]

My dad did say it was on the outskirts of peoria but I could have swarn it was a little farm town far from the city. My bad I haven't been their since I was probably about 14 or so.

[flyinsgirl]

i was born in Pekin and my uncle lives in Peoria, and ur right, its only about a 20-25 min drive, i must say Pekin has grown over the years since ive been a kid.

[kacxb6]

Man this is like a crash derby of crappy old 90's cars!

[flyinsgirl]

born and raised here....nice small town :)

[chrisz71]

How big is that town? I mean, they supposedly tried to re-enact that with rush hour- that's about the size of some of these towns around where I live.

[Jr2Video]

thats rush hour?!! love to have that here in L.A.

[chrisz71]

Love to have that here in Little Rock!

[Maryanne247]

not very big. Got family in the area the population on that episode said like 1600 maybe a bit bigger now but it is like a farm town. Tiny Tiny.

[IcePrincess73]

OMG, shocked and horrified!!! I am a PI and I investigate transport accidents so I see the aftermath of what happens when people do not treat motor vehicles as the deadly machines they can be. Humans = 80% water, car = steel and other heavy stuff. People should remember that flesh and blood dont stand a chance against cars and asphalt (at speed) xoxo

[IcePrincess73]

Stupid cow shouldn't be driving. What about the danger to the child and other road users? She should have her licence and car taken away from her.

[allgood2000]

She didn't have any way of knowing that was going to happen because she hadn't been diagnosed. The way I understood it, she that was first time she had ever blacked out.

[IcePrincess73]

Fair enough, that wasn't clear in the video. I thought she knew she had that problem, just that she didnt feel like she was going to black out that day. Now, about the kid in the front seat.......

[allgood2000]

We've had this discussion before. It was the 90's...

[IcePrincess73]

I know we have, but I had my daughter in the 90's and there is no way I would have put her in the front. Blind Freddy can see that it is just a bad idea when there is a back seat available. I know I go on about it but it is my pet hate xoxo

[Seccnightelf]

allgood2000,thank you for posting these videos. They are rather interesting, especially the ones containing clips of emergencies with seizures. I am epileptic and it is rather interesting and illuminating. Thanks.

[laurenR13]

i love that last name on the second dude mike son of a bitch or something

[Seccnightelf]

Hmm...It's not really nice to call her a stupid cow. She has epilepsy. I have epilepsy and I can drive while I'm seizure free. Also, she didn't know she was epileptic before than. But yes though, you can have epilepsy and still drive. I have a few times but currently I can't because of my recent seizures.

[MySeizures]

For many people who are coping, living and caring for victims of seizures, I understand the video is very disturbing. Instead of agonizing over the painful disturbing event, it's better to see the positive part of educational values of the video. We all can learn something from the miseries of seizures, which may help us face our vulnerability. I hope you understand.

Thanks,

Gerrie

[PiperSenecaV]

"Tom, there's a baby in the car."

Priceless

[dancingchic4ever]

im glad that ur safe know

[MySeizures]

Where's the money that the government for decades deducted in the name of ESSP, 401k plan, capital gain, social security, sales or income taxes from every income and pay check I made? Once the government is accountable for every deducted from my hard earned income, my brain surgery to stop my seizures could be covered with my own tax dollars and could careless for your socialized or private plan to pay for my brain surgery. First, answer the question, where's my tax dollars?

[MySeizures]

If health care is the basic right of the "protected" animals in your country's zoo and wildreness or the dogs in your city, it ought to be the basic rights of ALL your fellow human being all over your country. Isn't it?

We need to remove politics out of health care needs of all human beings.

Thanks for your hearing me out.

Gerrie

[MySeizures]

My ONLY and LAST option left at the moment is to have a brain surgery with 70% chance of controlling my seizures, according to my Neurologist. But being homeless and resourcesless for the last two years I can NOT afford brain surgery. Therefore, I'm in catch22. I'm sorry to say but I feel overwhelmed and helpless. Any helpful idea?

[01FRENCHY12]

move to toronto and get it for free

[MySeizures]

Frenchy, Thankyou for your caring idea.

But, it was the USA and not Canada who taxed my hard earned income for 25 years therefore why let it get away with it.

[01FRENCHY12]

yes i think that the states should be ashamed of themselves for not providing thier own citizens with universal health care

[MySeizures]

French, For centuries, the "law makers" of the states and the federal government refused to provide health care for their tax payers. Therefore, why would the American people succumb to the same "law makers" who fail to provide them with adequate health care system after having paid their taxes all their life time? I'm NOT sure if any one can abuse and take advantage of any one with out their permission, in these case, "law makers" abusing citizens. Why are the citizens taking it sitting down?

[macer102]

i agree frenchy, canada's got it right

[NDW85]

Do you have the 2nd segment from this episode where a cop is wounded in a shootout by a gas thief? If so, could you put that one up?

[MySeizures]

Folks,

Would you mind sharing your story about your seizures?

Having untreatable seizures of own for 10 years, I just thought it would be very interesting to share and great to know how others are coping with their seizures.

Thank you,

Gerrie

[chente1218]

ghost ride the whip!

[MySeizures]

Ask your Senator,

Just like Alcoholics Anonymous, why isn't the Epilepsy Foundation available any where in USA, except designate areas? Who finances the EFA? Besides dispensing redudant self-serving brochures, how, what, where and when did the EFA helped any victim of Epilepsy since it ever came to happen around? I wonder, if the EFA have any idea that victims of seizures are losing every thing they have ever earned for persistent seizures? WHERE'S THE HELP?

[unlocktender]

thanks for posting, my son has a seizure disorder and is having a hard time with the fact he cant drive for several mouths due to recent seizures. i plan on using this to video to help teach him about the importance of not driving.

[MySeizures]

If there ever was any people on this planet who deserv

a Nobel Prize, they had to be the Ambulance drivers and Emergency Technicians, who rescue people from all forms of danger, death and destruction. Thanks for these every day heros, many lives have been saved.

NO OTHER PROFESSION CAN EVER CLAIM THAT,,, Thanks for 911.

Wow. Those paramedics were lucky her doors were unlocked. Most cars nowadays lock when you're in drive. If that was me in the car, I'd be screwed.

[friendlyghosts]

lol.. yeah, I thought the exact same thing when I watched it.

[misskitty316]

[doostoos1]

Very Good Allgood2000 Keep adding more episodes. This show is awesome.

[MySeizures]

The problem with epilepsy is sometimes you are in AUTOPILOT, subconciously and unconciously doing things that your MIND is familiar with but NOT aware of what you are doing. In a lot of cases you can't even recognize nor remember what you are doing even after you have been told. I've been there & done that.

Epilepsy is more than just seizures, fall downs, broken faces, broken bones, convlutions, toung biting, etc. There's more to Epilepsy than the eye can see.

[Seccnightelf]

Yes there is. I never drive for this very reason.

[IcePrincess73]

Good for you. You are very responsible, unlike this silly woman who has no business being on the road, especially with a child in the car (and in the FRONT seat too, which is a whole OTHER issue) xoxo

[Seccnightelf]

Yeah lol. I hate it when people have little ones in the front seat! It's dangerous and they could be killed by the airbag if the car were to hit a wall or something!

[allgood2000]

Keep in mind this was in 1990. Airbags weren't standard back then. They didn't start recommending putting kids in the back seat until around 1995 or 96.

[IcePrincess73]

Where I live, in Australia, we were told to put out kids in the back long long before that. i think that is why I have such an issue with it, I am 34 and I remember being driven to primary school in the back seat, like everyone else in my area. I think it is just how you are socialised. My kids are nearly 10 and they never sit in the front.

[allgood2000]

I don't remember it being like that here in the States. I was 4 back in 1990, and my friends and I got to ride in the front sometimes. I remember I even had a special booster seat so the shoulder harness would fit properly. It wasn't until about 1995 that my mom started making me sit in the back seat. There was some horror story going around about a five-year-old who was decapitated by an airbag.

[IcePrincess73]

It is funny how we are so similar to the US in some ways, yet we have such different ideas on things like that. I know over in US there are some states where motorcycle helmets and seat are optional. No way would that happen here. Just different attitudes I guess :o)

[allgood2000]

I'm just glad you didn't have a shot at my friend's mom. When he was three or four, she let him ride in the front seat... on her lap without a seatbelt. Even I told them that was a bad idea (when I was 7).

[chrisz71]

I'm with allgood on this one- I was 4 when in 1990, and I used to sit in the front seat long before that. I started sitting in back a few years later, I guess it had to do with the horror story or maybe there was a law. I'm not sure. Regardless, the US has some varying laws, and frankly, we could learn a few things from you Aussies- I wish we'd adapt those laws there- I hate it when people pass me on a motorcycle going down the freeway at 90 mph, and no helmet. I'm in a pickup- no contest there!

[whattheheck1000]

Today, airbags are designed more intelligently so they do not decapitate children.

[mystykit]

ah, look, the seriess is on youtube, it's showing up on this page, so we can watch it here.

[gregorkrause]

this is kind of reminiscent of #106 where a suicidal woman was driving her car in this sort of fashion.

[Rescue911Trooper]

Why woman did have seizure?

[allgood2000]

She had epilepsy, but she didn't know it at the time. I don't think she had a seizure though, I think she just blacked out.

[misskitty316]

i wish people would vote ,i guess no one wants rescue 911 on dvd

[MySeizures]

TO ALL AMBULANCE DRIVERS, EMERGENCY TECHNICIANS & FIGHER FIGHTERS, with eternal gratitude and deep heartfelt respect, I bow my head in your honor.

Thank you for saving my life many times over for a decade when ever I'm struck with Grand Epileptic Seizures. You are and will always remain the every day heros of our lives. Thank You

[porrigehater]

Wow what amazing people, whats is even scarier is when people have absent seizures. An absent seizure is when a person is talking fine and they just go quiet and look like they are staring into nothing their eyes are usually open but they don't see you.

[Unslovedaudio]

please vote on rescue 911 to come out on dvd,tvshowsondvd . com

[gregorkrause]

This segment is what I consider a medical mystery segment, because you don't know what's wrong with that person until the dr. says it., these are one of my favorites.

[happy7117]

I did not know that people with epilepsy have black-outs untill watching this segment just now. I have heard of epileptic seizures, but I have never heard of epileptic black-outs. Those 2 medics must be track stars along with that lady who stops the car with the man (Leonard Meran) having the heart attack!

[Rescue911Trooper]

Thanks for uploading! I was nut about that segment!

[everlastingchill]

Ahh that DR is scary! LOL

Thanks for uploading David!
