The doctor would not let him continue – VG

One who really enjoys this year’s season of “Kompani Lauritzen” is comedian and host Vegard Harm.

Not only does he fall over a tall obstacle in the second episode, but in the third episode he is also exposed to another fall when a rope breaks. Also, it collapses towards the end of the competitions in the same episode.

– I felt so drained of all energy. I was completely dizzy, I also remember that I fell on my back and that the ensign said something while I stood there and trembled. I don’t remember if I passed out or not, but I started fucking breathing, says Harm.

– Participants are left empty

It is on the way to Rampestreken, towards the end of the so-called “day of hell”, that Harm comes to feel what it is to give everything without food in the body. The recruits receive nothing but a piece of smile chocolate in the morning, before setting out on a long march with various obstacles.

– Is it justifiable to pressure them so much?

– The participants are left empty, which of course is unpleasant. But it’s not dangerous, says Jan-Petter Dahl, press manager for TV 2.

He says that the production has a doctor available 24 hours a day and that the doctor participates in contests and exercises, even when Harm collapsed.

– What evaluations do you make before driving a day of intense physical activity without eating?

– Risk assessments are carried out for all exercises and skills, and the necessary measures are implemented to minimize any risk. When it comes to the exercise going to Rampestreken, the participants are followed by security personnel and a medic is present. Security personnel and the escort commander ensure that participants have enough water and that they drink regularly. They have nutrition (chocolate, snacks, cola) available if they see the need to give it to you.

– He would not be allowed to continue

The first person to go to Harm’s is the ensign, then a doctor comes. The damage finally regains consciousness and decides to go down again. Therefore, he loses all the points in that competition. Harm still has enough points in total to be able to continue in “Kompani Lauritzen”.

– Was it considered justified for Harm to continue up Rampestreken?

– Vegard himself made the decision not to continue. This was also the doctor’s evaluation, so he would not have been allowed to continue this exercise if he wanted to, Dahl says.

It also informs that they cannot comment on details in the doctor’s assessment.

– I decided myself, if I remember correctly, I was not exactly sane, to say enough and I did not want to continue. I didn’t think about the points where I was lying and shaking on the ground, says Harm.

– Did you feel cared for?

– The commander followed us all the way, or half in my case, and took care. I felt very taken care of and that if something happened, they would be there. I went downstairs with the ensign and got into a hot car while I waited for the rest of the gang galloping all the way … it was completely raw!

– Investigated for diseases

Harm points out that part of the “Kompani Lauritzen” target must be pushed hard.

– You should push yourself until you can’t.

But do the participants have the health to be pressured so much? Before entering royal service for the first time, you are in session and take the necessary health tests.

– Do they do health tests on the participants?

– All participants go through a medical checkup prior to admission where they are examined for illnesses, allergies and previous injuries. They are also continuously followed by a doctor during the recordings. They also have a session with a psychologist who is also available to them during the recordings when needed, and who follows up with them after the recording.
