It’s really heart breaking knowing that men who kick footballs get paid 3x more then these guys who are literally saving people’s lives.

Nurses and doctors see stuff I cannot even imagine. Real life angels.

Any future nurses? Any future doctors? Any nurisng or med students?

I’m an er trauma nurse... our custodial staff who clean up those disaster trauma rooms over quickly and efficiently and ready for the next ambulance are such an important part of the team as well! Thank you all.

I had NO idea what my mother went through every day she worked- so hard for us.... until I went to nursing school. I’m so proud of her, and honored to follow in her legacy.

It’s a mixture of people doing their best in a trauma. Like they said, physicians , nurses, respiratory therapists, radiology techs, phlebotomists, scribes, etc. Plus all those in the background. Pharmacy, lab, radiologists, House supervisor, and even the cleaning crew. They make it possible to have a nice clean room when the next pt comes in. No matter how gruesome it may have been before. It’s teamwork at its finest. Love being a nurse.

These people should be making the billions those fools running around a football field make.

I used to clean these rooms at a hospital. The aftermath was a gruesome sight, but someone had to clean it all up as if nothing ever happened... I always got an odd feeling in the “Gift of Life” OR. That was the organ donor OR for patients who just expired. Sometimes I felt “angels” sometimes I felt “angry spirits”. It was... unique.

EDIT: I became a registered nurse in June of 2022. Thanks everyone! Starting my prerequisites for nursing school in January...wish me luck!! UPDATE 2-25-22: I graduate in May of 2022! I will be an RN soon after that! Thank you everyone!! I totally forgot about this, I just happened to stumble over this video again!

i feel so useless watching doctors saving lives...

I became emotional watching this. I was supposed to have hip surgery in 2016. I coded on the operating table. I had a massive pulmonary embolism and stroke. I was kept alive long enough for heart surgery to have the blood clots removed. I'm alive because of people like this. The doctors and nurses at the Portland Oregon VA hospital and OHSU are amazing people. I owe my life to them.

I swear our doctors, nurses, specialists, anyone in the medical field that has something to do with life or death should be paid way way way more!! These actors and actresses and rappers (don't get me wrong, they bust there asses) but lets be real, These people who are responsible for our lives, pulling 24 to 36 or more hours a shift, doing 8 hours or longer at a time during a single surgery, These soldiers fighting for us, and the good cops (good cops) risking there lives for shit pay! It just don't seem right. Some times nurses do more than doctors.. I just think its a shame, who is getting the millions....

As an EMT and a current Nursing student I can say that it takes so much inside of you to stay calm when things like this happen. Our sympathetic nervous system is going crazy. Hormones firing, pupils dilating, heart rate and BP increase. It takes a very special kind of person to do these kind of jobs.

As a trauma nurse at a level 1 hospital, I can say this is really normal for us and nobody understands except for our coworkers. Those people are my rock honestly. It’s heartbreaking seeing people come through those doors screaming and crying in pain or limp and lifeless and sometimes knowing we can’t do anything to help. This shit is hard. Having somebody’s life in your hands and making decisions that will affect their outcome hangs heavy on you. Forever sending so much love to all my fellow coworkers in healthcare who do this on a daily basis

Yes nurses and doctors save lives, but they aren’t the only ones in emergency situations. Laboratory technologists are always left out because we do work behind the scenes. Prepare blood and blood products for transfusion, checking cell counts and blood chemistries. Just sad that we are never acknowledged.

This is what real nurses and doctors look like. Imagine shows like greys anatomy without people like McSteamy or McDreamy but this, i'd watch it too all day, all night

Its a sureal and scary experience when your the patient laying on the table paralyzed and on the verge of bleeding out.

As a pharmacy student, I had a chance to experience something like that. Unfortunately the lady ended up dying. I just felt numb the whole day.

God bless the doctors that do everything to save our lives!

These people are completely under appreciated and recognized. I know they do so much. I appreciate them each and everyone!

I wish people would praise nurses and doctors within the psychiatry that take care of suicidal patient as much as the somatic staff. It's often forgotten, but staff at psychiatric hospitals save lives every day.

Props for them mentioning Respiratory Therapists as they are one of the most underappreciated people in the hospital despite them seeing the most critical patients. I'm a CRNA and I respect our RT's!

Such skill, sacrifice, fortitude, and strength. God bless these doctors and their work.

These well educated heroes should have a really HIGH salary :-)

Iv only been a nurse for 2 months and it is not easy at all 😢

Most people are saying thank the doctors and yes, but also look at all the nurses they mentioned and all the other medical staff and techs besides the doctor that make a fraction of an mds salary, let’s thank everyone in the medical field

People don’t realize how well these teams of professionals work together. It’s truly a wonderful group to work with. I miss working but am now retired..

I have the utmost respect for these people. Carrying the weigth of someone’s life in such pivotal brief minutes is something that I could never sustain as a career choice.

Hats off to nurses, doctors, surgeons and all other medical staff. Always keeping calm in high stress situations and working hard to keep us alive

I’ve been going to a camp for the past 3 years. Every year they allow a group of high school seniors from the camp to go visit a trauma center in New Jersey. I was excited but nervous to go but I learned so much. I saw some things I cannot and will not forget. They took us into the main trauma room first and went to through the steps of their daily procedures. We then saw a power point of some of their worst cases over the past 15 years. the photos were all real and not blurred. After that my group was told to walk through the ICU. That was probably the most heart breaking thing I saw out of that whole trip. I looked into one of the rooms and saw a little girl and her mother holding hands and standing next to a man laying on a bed with multiple tubes coming from him. Once we finished their we had one last stop, It was the basement. In the basement was the morgue. Seeing people in body bags was definitely not on my summer bucket-list, but I’m not angry that I saw these things. In fact it was probably the most interesting and helpful field trip I’ve ever been on. These people are amazing at their job and I’m glad I got to see what goes on up front.

These people at this hospital saved my life over 20years ago! Never said thank you so THANK YOU and God Bless your steady hands!🙏

I’m so very grateful for every doctor, nurse, and those seldom mentioned who do their part to save lives in the trauma wards and other aspects of life saving practices! Thank you medical providers for all that you do!

I work in the Operating Room as a Surgical Technologist and never get to meet my patient I help operate on and seeing all these comments of appreciation make my heart smile. Just a simple "thank you" can go a long way

trauma teams are always so sweet. had to go thru after breaking my spine in a blunt trauma accident. they were so patient

Real heros

Wow!! Thank you to the trauma nurse that stood by my side in the trauma room. She never left my side. She even escorted me to ICU. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

"They come here and we take care of them" I like that

As a doctor the thing that really makes me happy and drives me forward is when i see my patients getting better especially those who come with critical conditions, honestly the best thing to witness ever, god bless everyone and to anyone reading this pls if you are able to donate blood do so cause u could save someone just by donating.

This is why I love what I do... I love the work, I love my patients...my family and friends has NO idea what my day entails... and that’s ok... being part of a nursing team is an amazing blessing as well as heartbreaking and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else 🙏 By the way I appreciate all of your wonderful comments.. thank you

So grateful for those who dedicated part of they’re life to save others, thank you to those in the medical field❤️❤️

I missed my calling....these people are amazing

I work as an ER scribe and its amazing watching what the docs and nurses do. Ive learned so much and hope this experience helps me become a great doctor in the future.

I am proud to be a respiratory therapist student. I’m so ready to graduate and start working.😍🙏🏽

God bless every soul in the room. Couldn’t imagine how tough that career is and how they cope with it at home

I admire these ppl who work so hard to save others!

i work in medical field. it is the most fulfilling job i ve ever had. been in the middle of that organized chaos. team is amazing

May God be with them thier family's and strengthen them through it yall thank yall for your service to humanity

A team of trauma surgeons and amazing nurses saved my sister’s life. ❤️❤️ forever grateful

My deepest respect and admiration for those who saved lives every minutes day and night. Real heroes, God blessed you all !!!

Man when I wanna feel better about what career I chose I’m gonna come back to these comments! The gratitude is rare and it is appreciated! Thank you

May God bless all of these folks that work in ER and in the ORs of all the trauma hospitals. They go very under appreciated most of the time, even by the families of those patients they’re trying to save. God be with you

I worked in a hospital in Fort Worth in college as pre med student, clean up and watching trauma after an accident or whatever was traumatic, somehow they all managed to keep there sanity. ER, nurses and docs really are angels. Bless them for taking care of us in our worst moments in life.

OMG... I work at a Hospital... I can't even begin to imagine 312 Trauma Alerts a Day. This Hospital Rocks!!! The Trauma Teams are Phenomenal!!!

As an EMT, we see a lot during prehospital care and have to handle a lot during prehospital care, and I have the upmost respect for my coworkers, firefighters, police officers, and all hospital staff. ❤️‍🔥

It’s comforting to know that people like this are among us.

I would like thank all the nurses and doctors for saving people life and caring for people. May God bless you all for doing what you do. And my thought and prayer goes to all of them to keep doing their job. Thank you.

My parents were in a house explosion and collapse many years ago while on vacation. My mother had multiple life threatening injuries. Luckily she was 15 minutes via helicopter to a level 1 trauma center and survived. Had they been at home, the nearest trauma center is a long way away. Her doctors told me she was very lucky to survive. We need more trauma centers so no one is more than 20 minutes away from this level of care. Even one of her doctors from where they live told me had the same thing happened at home, they doubt she’d survived.

This is why I love my job. ❤️

A great big shout out to the EMS,staff,techs,nurses and doctors...They are truly good samaritans. Here in San Jose,We have some of the finest in the world- they have saved my life a few times.It really hits home when its yourself,family,friend or stranger. I love you guys!👍🤗💞

What a lovely group of people. How passionate they are... it's a beautiful thing.

Respect for acknowledging the roles of nursing and resp. therapy! usually the focus is on the physician and the physician only in these things

God bless all nurses and doctors and EMTs. Especially in these tough COVID pandemic times....

I loved to see this sneak peek into the ER and OR. My aunt was a nurse her whole life and she loved being in the ER. God rest her soul. 🙏

Blessings to all these special people, who are Doctors, Nurses, Specialists, Technicians, and many, many others of hundreds more! Angles of Life and Love!! Thank you all...👍😇

i experienced my first level 1 trauma and death last night as a new nurse. im watching these videos trying to figure out how to process and cope. we fought for an hour to save this persons life. i wish i couldve hugged her and told her how sorry we were. i dreamt about her all last night and ive been crying since i clocked out. she was young, had a whole life ahead of her.

It takes a strong person to be a doctor an even stronger one to be in a truma center where they see people get hurt all the time for one reason or another. I can stomach adults being hurt but to see children on the verge of death is something I can not handle. Yay for people who can they are real heros.

*AWESOME* to see some recognition of these folks, they are truly unsung heroes we really don't think about *_UNTIL......_*

It's touching to see you put your whole body into protecting life. I don't think it's anyone's job to study harder and work harder than anyone else. The COVID-19 has increased the number of people cheering for the medical staff, but it was a job that had to be treated before that. I got your back.

Much love & god bless to all the nurses people don’t give you guys enough credit and you do most of the work 🙌🏽

To everyone in the medical field 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻THANK YOU, YOUR VERY APPRECIATED!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

God bless all of you great job my daughter was in trauma hit by car hurt really bad lot surgies I no what how important it is to keep family friends out so u can take care patients

Thank God for all those healthcare professionals who work in the Trauma room,they saved my life in 1979 at Alexandria Hosp,Alex VA.

Thank you for your passion and hard work on saving lives 😍😘

Proud to be an Emergency Physician, thanks for the highlight CBS.

Real heroes!! Thanks you so much to all the staff in the medical field !!

i had Dr. Duane when i was in the hospital and she’s an incredible person. every morning she’d come in and talk to me about school and give me a hug and a kiss on the forehead she’s just a great doctor and i really appreciate that

Wow, so much respect for these HEROS🙏🏾

How nice is to give families a good news out of the operating theater. How difficult it is for these kind big hearted nurses to say "she did not make it" 😭😭😭

Shout out to all my fellow Surgical Technologists! Any operating room wouldn’t function without you!

Those doctors & nurses are so special. If I see hurt, pain & blood I would pass out. I cannot take it.

Hats off to these folks!

Man, the stress Surgeons/Surgical Residents go through is insane...

Respect. Unimaginable respect is what I have for these people. They CHOSE to be there and help those who fight for their lives without wanting anything in return...

God bless our medical personnel everywhere. I never appreciated them more until I went into the emergency room and it was determined that I needed emergency double by-pass surgery. I only remember bits and pieces of what happened between having my initial EKG and waking up in the second floor recovery room. However, I will never forget and will always be thankful for the professional care that I was provided during my three week stay in hospital. Thank you all so much for being there for me and my family. Big shout out to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital staff and West Tennessee Healthcare employees.

Real life heroes! God bless all of you. From london!

We are very grateful to our medical teams,cover each and every one of them Lord and give them strength spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally to under go every operation and situation that they are faced with.

I appreciate all you do, the true heros. 🤗😇

When I was in college, I made it to the hospital shortly before my appendix would've burst. I was still in the waiting room for 3 hours and having hallucinations from the pain before they finally got me in and into surgery. I wasn't even mad at how long I had to wait, because I knew that tons of staff members were much busier with much more horrific emergencies similar to this one. When I see people with *relatively* minor injuries freaking out about their wait times, it drives me insane.

God bless this team 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I wish more was also shown on the prehospital part of things. Granted I love the nurses and doctors I get to work with. But I also wish more was done to show what EMS personnel do to help with this critical chain.

GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU UNSUNG HERO'S AND YOUR FAMILIES NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🤗🙏 As a former nurse, there are things you can't unsee and some of the individuals affect you must harder than others while you diligently work to save each and every one. I applaud each of you and lift you all up in PRAYER 🙏 Sending healing hugs, love and prayers for you all 🤗❤️🙏

Got me all choked up 😢 😭 You're all heroes ❤ in my book!! 🙏🏽🤲🙌🏽

They’re so incredible. True heroes

I work in a hospital and respond to traumas. The hardest one I’ve seen was a 3 year old boy shot in the legs. They got it under control but got him transferred to a children’s hospital ASAP. But most common ones are gunshot wounds on gang members the majority of the time

Hats off to all of our Medical Personnel. You are greatly appreciated!

You are all amazing at what you do and how you all endure it, may you all stay safe 😇

God this has 2 b 1 of the hardest job's n the world..God Bless u all & God Bless u all 4 working so hard..I feel 4 u ppl..I really do..

Second year med student and I need all the prayers I can get. School is getting harder than it’s ever been

thanks go to ALL Dr.'s & nurses for the work they do every of every day. THANK YOU!!!!

You know we watch medical dramas and see the fast pace of the ER… it’s actually amazing to think and know that doctors and nurses all have to work in tandem like that… Doctors and nurses are pretty amazing people.
