I slipped on some ice on the crossing at the bus station and broke my leg. Ambulance shipped me off to hospital, I was so embarrassed all my school friends where watching. The hospital staff couldn’t be bothered to deal with me and said it was sprain and sent me home even though I couldn't walk. Three days later my mum took me back and demanded an x-ray, I’d broken my tibia, spent six weeks in plaster.<BR/><BR/>Now I’ve called an ambulance on two occasions, once for the old man I use to live next door too in his 80’s after he was knocked off his feet by a hyper Alsatian puppy and split his head open on the paving stones and once for the other elderly lady who we lived next door to who fell off a kitchen chair and broke her hip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449099665369921347.post-85061802909133007892007-12-13T19:42:00.000+00:002007-12-13T19:42:00.000+00:00The article by the Guardian demeans us from the st...The article by the Guardian demeans us from the start by calling us drivers!<BR/><BR/>The report has taken a very black and white simple stance.<BR/><BR/>It seemed to me to be a "shock/horror/stun" type of report trying to perpetuate the image of us being drivers of big yellow/white taxis!<BR/><BR/>The essence of the report into solo response cars as opposed to ambulances, was too simplified.<BR/><BR/>We in this country are becoming too used to government targets. I would have liked to see more of a challenge to the ORCON targets and highlighting the lack of proper continuing training in the ambulance service.<BR/><BR/>Good call on the split eye job at the pub. Common sense at last. Nice one Emma.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the job too, glad its all coming together for you.kingmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116771710151218704noreply@blogger.com
