Love it!
So why not put paramedics on a e-bike, so they can actually arrive at the scene first. It’s not like the patient gets put into the ambulance immediately on arrival. Might as well have someone take care of the patient before the ambulance arrives. Just put a e-bike in the back of the ambulance or rack it on the front.
Shitty solution to a shitty problem in my opinion. Quite often patients are indeed put into the ambulance immediately. Ambulances also have tons of medical equipment, none of which you can fit on a bike, obviously. Then there’s the question of paramedic safety, especially given how many road accidents there are in the US. Plus, that would be a major cost for healthcare providers. Instead of 2 paramedics, you’d need 3 or 4, since they can’t go solo, again due to safety concerns. Overall this isn’t something we should be looking for alternative solutions to. You can’t keep making workarounds for systemic issues, like horrible road/traffic design or society being severely uneducated.
Our service uses bikes in highly urban areas, but I can’t speak to the pros or cons of it as I don’t have the brain power right now. It’s a large service, but not anywhere near a significant part of the service. Urban stuff, large gatherings stuff, terrain stuff with quads and even a boat.
They carry 100lbs of gear.
Their solution is going to be ai controlled drones, you think they’re going to create solutions that require people? This problem is the first step to robo ambulances, we already have robo police drones where I live in America.
That sounds like a legit idea. Most important 1st aid gear can fit in a backpack. Inhaler. Defibrillator. Tracheostomy Tube. Etc including stuff to stop bleeding, including the knowledge of how to do it correctly.
Were all the "ja"s an affectation or do modern Germans just ja that much?
I work for a German company. They definitely ja that much. My wife couldn’t believe how many times they said it when I was on a company call with the higher ups the other day.
As a non-native English speaker, ages ago I moved to The Netherlands (were they also use “ja” for “yes”) and once I learned Dutch and got used to speak it as much or more than English, I noticed a definite tendency on my English for my “yes” to come out quite “ja”-like (sorta like an “yeah” with a pretty much silent “e”), though granted not as strong as that guy.
Maybe this is some kind of broader linguistic tendency (non-native English speakers used to a “yes” in a different language that’s pretty close to one of the English words for “yes” - in this case “yeah” - just doing the lazy thing of using the other language word or a softened version of it because English-speakers get it) rather than a German-specific thing.
I would be curious to hear from Dutch people and people from Scandinavia (if I’m not mistaken most if not all of whose national languages use a “ja” for “yes”) if they tend to do that or not.
Definitely affectation. I suspect the strong German accent is as well. His vocabulary is too good for it.
What a bunch of hosers, eh?
That dude is just exaggerating the accent and pandering to get views. He’s trying to be the ‘in Germany we don’t say’-guy but for mericans. Unfortunately he isn’t funny, which caters to the ‘Germans have no humor’ stereotype
Yeah
Yes
That’s mostly an affectation. And as a German myself I have to say that his accent is atrociously german.

Wenn die Polizei vorbeifährt, ja?
Ja?
Dann halt ich erst mal an, ja
Seen this happen in European countries too, eventhough I despise american fascist pigs
When your MPD switches to Richthofen
Nobody more annoying than a German tourist bitching about everything
I’d say waiting for an ambulance while a loved one dies in front of you just because assholes wouldn’t get out of the way is more annoying. No doubt followed by some health insurance bullshit that makes zero sense in any other country. But no, it’s the tourist who’s wrong.
There might be somebody… ☝🏼
Yeah, but do you know what their mum says about them?
Love this. Who says the Germans have no humour.
Mostly the French
How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?
One.
Don’t have to change it at all, if this is a german lightbulb.
They’re efficient and have no sense of humor
Wer das liest ist doof
Richtig!
I speak perfect english but still use „ja”, ja?

Tak.
Wenn die Polizei vorbei fährt, ja! (ja)

Someone moving out of the way still doesn’t equal everyone moving out of the way. He’s way ahead of them at the end of the video. The point still stands.

I’m amazed you could see that since he edited it out of the video so you couldn’t see it.

I get imense stress from having an ambulance behind me even if there’s plenty of room to pass on the side. Immediately plotting where to go if it needs to go exactly where I am.
I can’t imagine having an ambulance behind you and going ‘Meh, I’m driving here.’If the ambulance is immediately behind you, you’ve already failed.
In “we’ll-behaving” countries ambulance does not lose speed. If you hear a siren, you pull over, doesn’t matter if you see it or not.
I’m not directing this at you, just explaning the course of action for people like in the video.
Ayyyy I’m driving here
nyc is a crazy city
This happened to me once. It was a main road with heavy traffic. I pulled over to the right to let the ambulance pass, but because of traffic, I was effectively sitting on the right lane. Apparently the ambulance wanted to move to the right lane because they were gonna turn right at the corner up ahead. I felt like an asshole because to everyone else on the road, it looked like I intentionally blocked the ambulance. And the siren blaring right behind you while the driver is blasting the horn is very stressful.
I come and save you, ja?
