Party, exuberant atmosphere and mugs full of festival beer: that's what draws countless people to the Munich Oktoberfest every year. For paramedics and rescue workers on site, however, that often means rescuing people under extreme conditions. And in medical emergencies, every minute counts. Because it's not always about alcohol. Our reporter Ariane Alter has the greatest respect for what Oktoberfest paramedics have to do in the crowds. She has only experienced Oktoberfest as a visitor so far, but for PULS Reportage she takes a look behind the scenes at Germany's largest folk festival and helps out with Oktoberfest rescues for a shift as a paramedic. How hard is the work at Oktoberfest as a paramedic between the festival tent, brass music and alcohol-fueled crashes? You'll get to see all about it in the new PULS report! ---------- Chapter: A day as a Wiesn paramedic: Rescue at Oktoberfest 00:00 A day as a paramedic at Oktoberfest: How hard is the job? 00:48 Start of shift at the Wiesnambulanz 01:42 Ari's fears before the mission 02:18 Suddenly it all happens very quickly! 03:10 Stress in numbers: This is what it's like for the paramedics! 03:50 First mission - serious emergency? 06:12 Ari gets to know the team 06:36 Very important: vomit bags 07:38 Mission 2: Ari lends a hand 09:39 Mission 3: Across the crowds! 12:07 Drunk man with a serious laceration 13:38 Ari's last mission! 15:44 Crowds: It's getting worse and worse 16:21 Intensive care in the acute room 17:30 Shift balance 18:07 Ari's conclusion: Easy or constant stress? #pulsreportage #Reportage #Oktoberfest #Rescue #Sani ---------- Editors: Robin Köhler, Sonja Röbig, Lea Knies Camera: Elisabeth Kölbl Editing: Marion Völker Graphics: Daniel Egger, Solvey Handrick Community Management: Lukas Unterbuchner ---------- We are Ariane Alter, Nadine Hadad and Sebastian Meinberg from PULS Reportage.
