I doubt that very much, but it might show the general public that not all the public service have a cushy little job that pays a fortune, as the media have worked so hard to portray us all as having.

Would love to see that whole series again.

Clippy - 'Now that's what I call a bleed'. Best ever stuff, Nobby and the birds, the cabbage, skip patrol, etc, etc

We've come a long way since then but have lost some real characters along the way.

Really looking forward to this, promo was cracking.

ivabiggon · 10-07-2012 7:18pm

it's the first of 4 episodes, filming to go on for the next few years.

starviewadams · 10-07-2012 9:25pm

How long will the episodes be does anyone know?

ivabiggon · 10-07-2012 10:07pm

not sure to be honest but, if the zoo programme is anything to go by, probably an hour, same company doing it, they have to shoot hours and hours of footage just to get a presentable few minute for tv, having said that it would make great tv looking at the stuff that didnt make it...funny stuff you couldn't broadcast..

irishrgr · 11-07-2012 1:34am

Does anyone know if you can watch RTE shows online outside IRL? I know we're blocked from the BBC online with an overseas IP address, does RTE do same? I've watched clips of the news on the RTE site, but not whole shows. It'd be brilliant to watch this over here?

No idea, suppose the easy way to find out would be to try and watch a whole show.

familystand · 06-08-2012 8:27pm

That looks very good, Cork city fire brigade had RTE cameras in for a few months and there will be a new show along the lines of rescue 117 about the coastguard etc. Due to be shown sometime during the winter:D

websites that give you proxy server ip address allow you to view blocked content anywhere in any country. good for viewing bbc in ireland. vice versa

try googling it, its been a while since i did it.

Dont forget folks, this is on tonight, 8.30pm RTE.

joegriffinjnr · 04-09-2012 8:07pm

Cant wait.:D

source · 04-09-2012 8:44pm

Looking like a good show so far. Nice to see the waste of time calls as well as the real calls.

joegriffinjnr · 04-09-2012 8:59pm

Very well done. That dope on the luas stop should of been charged and fined.

King Ludvig · 04-09-2012 9:16pm

Too short but I thought it was a good episode and found it interesting from a civvy perspective. Its a pitty they can't ignore certain calls like the one from the girl on top of the luas.

If they ignored her, the stupid bint would have jumped down, possibly breaking her leg and being an even bigger drain on resources.

cyrusdvirus · 04-09-2012 9:27pm

Well impressed with that programme.

Shows DFB in a good light.

She'd probably make a claim against them too :rolleyes:

****ING GREAT PHOTO.....

Just a reminder that the second episode is on RTE 1 tonight at 20:30

crackcrack30 · 11-09-2012 9:02pm

The HSE Ambulance Service really are the 'poor poor cousins' when it comes to staff numbers on scene at medical emergencies, this was very evident as per programme tonight.

Of course they'll be outnumbered when there's a fire tender in attendance. A fire tender won't always be available though, so I don't think you can come to any conclusions based on a thirty minute programme. It doesnt really matter anyway once the patient is getting the best possible treatment. Great programme.

Why would a fire tender not be available?

Good programme, was looking at it on the RTE player last night. The only fault I found was that it's only 23 minutes long according to the player. A minute takes up ad's I think! They couldn't even make it 30 minutes but then again it is RTE after all!

I think you'll find its the other way around.

An ambulance is regularly not available. A fire tender is always got from somewhere.

Crackcrack30's point is entirely valid. Outside of Dublin the same manpower is just not available to be dispatched to these cases.

The only resource at the scene of that arrest that would not normally be there is the doctor. The only reason she was there is that there was Advanced Paramedic interns in attendance. A doctor travels on the road with them during their initial training.

You'll find all TV channels will have 12 minutes of ad's a hour. All half hour programs are 23 minutes in length.

colinjp · 12-09-2012 3:39pm

poor poor cousins ? how so crackcrack30? for the arrest it was a HSE ambo that arrived and there were at least three HSE NAS Paramedics on scene (not sure if the lady in the green hi vis was a doc or not on the AP car) , plus it was a HSE NAS ambo that transported the woman who fell out of bed.

12-09-2012 4:18pm

It was good to see the interventions carried out, at 17min where you see them pushing drugs IO is this a preferred method to IV? Presuming it may be quicker than finding a vein and gaining access, is it any slower or even quicker with regard to the uptake of the drugs to the heart ect?

I don't know who or how many were at the arrest scene (I lost count at 9), but you are very lucky sometimes to get backup where i work, also urban area, this if available would comprise of solo AP or solo doctor or a crew of two paramedics, so at most you would have 4 on scene in a similar situation.

spatchco · 12-09-2012 6:55pm

follow up to an earlier question this series is not available to view on RTE player outside ireland

colinjp · 12-09-2012 7:56pm

I understand what your saying ive worked arrests where there was no back up, but I think sometimes three or four are enough coz your not gonna fit more than four in the back of an ambulance travelling with an arrest, plus if they switch every few mins , then effective cpr is still going on. Either way a good show, well done to all involved keep up the good work.

The ambulance return usually consists of two in the back (working), one driving, and one to return second vehicle.......

The decision to go the IO or IV route is down to the individual AP. Both routes deliver the medication into the system at the same rate.
IV access can be difficult in a 'flat' person. Obese persons can also present the AP with IV access difficulties.

19-09-2012 12:44pm

Another good episode last night, bit of an eye opener with the ambulance case where the guy was out of his bin and restrained, loved how the paramedic wasn't phased at all as if its the day to day norm!

Also at the end where the ET was sent to Bray, is that a common occurance or part of the catchment area?
