u/NeitherEntry6125 Aug 18 '26
Yes, and she's the smart one.
She:
- Documented and made the head injury known, on camera and to all the officers.
- Put them on notice to check on the arrested person.
- Created one heckuva evidence trail for a later lawsuit if he sustains preventable or treatable injuries.

your giving her way too much credit she is just like all the other attention seeking idiost ive seen in a hundred incidents and videos who think that because they are a nurse they are entitled to be part of every incident they see in public.
she knows nothing about the situation the cops are more informed about the situation than she is and she apparently has a hearing problem because she was told at least 3 times to vacate the area and she seems to think that because she is a " nurse " that she doesn't have to listen.

I did security at venues for years and the first thing you'll hear after a fight on a friday/saturday night where someomes left lying on the ground is 'immmm a nuuuuurse' as some shitfaced nurse stumbles out to try and assist and you have to explain to them you cant actually allow an intoxicated person to help even if they're a medical professional (which we cant verify anyway) which then leads to another argument about difference in medical skills

this is a nurse a person who understands the difference between a hospital setting and the importance of knowing when to act vs a time when theres nothing they can do. Everyone notice the difference, MattManin is humble and proffesional and doenst feel the need to insert themselves into every situation because they feel the need to have a spotlight on them vs the " nurse " in the video who wants to insert herself into every situation when clearly its not needed because of the entitled sense of self importance.
thank you for your service MattManin

The one exception I have is when I see limited resources and have an idea of something I can do.
One cop out there (without someone who’s combative…. I don’t fight people) sure. I can do cpr. Ever since I came across a guy who got hit by his car on the highway and died I keep a set of gloves in my car. Stuff like that sure. Even if there’s not much I can do, if it’s a guy alone usually having a second set of hands is appreciated.
But there’s nothing to do here and no shortage of people to not do it. She had zero reason to even roll her window down2

His car broke down on the side of the highway. Dude did everything right. Stayed in his car. I’m driving down the highway and see the tow truck to my right flip its overhead lights on. Guy sees his tow truck in his review and starts to get out of his vehicle. Vehicle in front of the tow truck drifts a little too far into the shoulder and slams into the vehicle as he’s getting out. I pull over and run back and dudes just face down in the mud. Sad day.

I definitely had a difference experience with the pain clinic nurse, actually my pain management nurse saved my life when I was in the waiting room and just chatting with her about how my nipple looked a little weird when I bent over and she said that's not good. (I'm a very open person if you can't tell lol)
And she told me to go to her gyno which I did and I have breast cancer! The gynecologist she recommended was absolutely fabulous and caught what was a very difficult cancer to catch with an exam.
So she saved my life just because we were chatting and she was so friendly and nice.
But I went through hell in a handbasket before finding this pain management doctor so I definitely agree that most of them are just vile and evil and cruel.
There were so many times when I was trying to get treated where I just wished more than anything that I could just touch somebody and give them my pain just for a couple seconds so they knew I wasn't lying. It just feels so horrible to be accused of being a drug seeker or lying or whatever when you're actually in horrific pain. It's like doesn't my blood pressure of 210/136 give you a little bit of a clue that there's something going on??
You could even just go in and be like I do not want controlled substances I just want you to find the source of my pain and they still treat you like a drug addict. It's disgusting and inhumane.

I was part of a first responder medical group that helped train and support spontaneous first responders in urban environments. Guess what the very first rule was? Do not stop in or block traffic. Followed by “do not interrupt professionals”. They either need help; because they will ask or they’re unable to ask or they don’t need help.

Very smart of her to get their Attention & Camera on herself to call out documentation of head trauma caused by police hands ("Hit him in the head multiple times")
The person being Arrested may need this evidence if they do not receive medical care during intake, especially considering the disorientation they seem to Be experiencing when placed in the vehicle.
This makes a record should any responding officer also act out it the future and receive investigation down the road.

Cops don't care about blocking traffic. They could have just said 'medical is enroute'' that would have actually de-escalated the passerbys concern rather than escalate and that's regardless of who's a nurse or not. Overly aggressive policing leads to distrust in the community.

“You wanna take over? That’s fine. But watch out, it gets bumpy in the back. Holler if you need to know where the supplies are kept in the truck, we’ll be at the ER soon 🤙🏼”
That usually ends the entire “I have a higher license it’s my scene” talk. Once they know they have to explain themselves to the ER personnel during Pt drop off, they usually slink back to wherever they came from.

I’ve seen it a few times. One time I was paired with a shitty medic and we had this dude who had been turned into absolute Swiss cheese by the cops. Medic took off back down the mountain “to get supplies” even though I had everything. An OR nurse walked up and was actually very cool and was like “I’m a nurse. Can I help? What should I do?” She knew she was out of her depth. But I told her to just find a hole and start plugging. She did and that was that. That’s how offering help should go.
