Have to respect the levels Damo is prepared to go to show the importance of an emergency fund!

Legit one of the best YouTube videos I've seen in ages. Just real, raw, honest, vulnerable, and actually proved that financial literacy and security can be life saving.

See you've been warning us about a crash for years and now look what happens! Glad you're recovering well mate.

As an orthopaedic surgeon in the NHS, thank you for shining a light on the work we do. We have the best staff in the UK, working with inadequate resources and rarely recognised. Listen to your physio / hand therapist during your rehab!

I just got an £85 parking fine which I was very upset about. After watching this I’m not so bothered. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Fellow bike crash person; DO NOT NEGLECT THE PHYSIO!!!

FYI, Fentanyl is used all the time in the UK hospitals

I m really sorry this happened to you. As a nurse I really appreciate you sharing your NHS experience on waiting for a bed and staying in a corridor. Nurses have been fighting to end corridor care but government is not really acting. Wishing you a speedy recovery. From a nurse who didn’t know anything about finance and economy and learned quite a lot from watching your videos 😊

As soon as he said Bali I just knew where it was going immediately 😅

Thank you for your consideration of the others that were injured financially by this accident. Very few people would’ve given them a minute’s thought.

Don't feel like an idiot Damo....you've integrity, strong morals and values and you put the locals first and sorted them out. Looking forward to the mega Q&A video. Take it easy.

Getting ready to drive a scooter = sensible. Riding a scooter in Indonesia at all = not sensible. 😅

A deep dive on travel insurance would be interesting. Simple things like the use of 0330 phone numbers distinguish the bad from the good.

I live in Bali. I ride a 500cc Honda, scooters are too slow. I rarely lean much on bends as I ride slowly and always expect cars and bikes doing strange stuff.
125 million scooters in Indonesia. One for every 2 people.
One of my chaps fell off my roof a few years back and landed on his head. I took him to the general hospital at Sanglah in Denpasar, if you have insurance you should go there to the 5 star wing. They want payment up front, credit card needs to have a high limit. Insurers are notorious for not answering the phone. Last time I was there for a broken ankle my insurer took 4 months to respond.
16 beds. One had my chap, one had a chap who had tried to cut his foot off with a circular saw. 14 motorcyclists. Each bed has a shelf underneath for the helmet.
Glad you survived, I have been to many funerals in Bali for motorcyclists.

15:15 I’ve had fentanyl administered by the NHS at Kings College Hospital for a colonoscopy, so it’s widely used across the healthcare field. In controlled environments it’s actually very safe, when it’s cut into unregulated drugs to make it feel more ‘potent’ is when it becomes an issue, most people who OD on fent don’t actually know they’re even taking it.

Such a genuine video, get well damo, hats off to you for taking care of the locals over there affected, such a genuine guy

Didn’t jump over an advertising hoarding at the World Cup did you …. 😂😂😂

This was handsdown one of the most beautiful and moving and informative videos I’ve ever seen on YouTube. The first thing that sprung to mind when I saw your face and heard you begin to explain what happened was that you really do need to process all the emotions that feel uncomfortable because otherwise you could end up with PTSD. What you’ve been through is highly traumatic and although you are blessed with a great sense of humour I think we can all see your pain. You are still really hard on yourself.  Rather than beat yourself up and about everything that’s happened, you could just put this down to something bad that happened. Everything in life is transient. Taking the blame for this accident and holding so much guilt about it is not healthy if you continue to do that and you don’t process it.  With regards to exercise I personally think you should be focusing on rest and eating a diet that supports bodily repair. Some walking in the countryside would be really useful opportunity for you to reflect and find some peace. This is a time to self soothe and act in  nourishing and healing ways. Allow your body to do its job. I have broken several bones. If you want to script videos, you can use the dictation button on your keyboard to voice type them as I am doing with this comment.  Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail. The way you think about everyone except yourself goes to a great deal of your character, but remember you cannot pour from an empty cup. ❤❤❤.

This happened to my 9 year old son on his scooter at a skate park. So scary but the NHS were absolutely amazing. Could not fault them. Long live the NHS.

And this is why a fully funded 🇬🇧 NHS should be defended. It's the ultimate insurance. Glad you're feeling better & middle age holidays from now on.
