Much to his dissatisfaction, once I'd assessed him, done his ECG and spoken to the duty nurse I told him he could stay in the comfort of his room. He called me a cunt. I left"<br /><br />"He had a hangover. I told him to take his own paracetomol and drink more water. I told him I had just attended a 25 year who had died.

The HCPC seems to consist of the likes of podiatrists or art therapists who will happily pass judgement with their knowledge of 9 to 5 office work with compliant patients.<br /><br />But - we can't do Troponin analysis pre-hospital, and as much as we'd like to I don't think we should be bringing previous jobs up in order to tell them off for being ignorant.<br /><br />Keep up the good work - I couldn't write a blog because what I'd write would give the HCPC a sense of of humour failure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-61465891571192031312014-02-04T16:57:16.152+00:002014-02-04T16:57:16.152+00:00Its a sad truth that they will, no doubt, do the s...Its a sad truth that they will, no doubt, do the same again without a second thought.

I just can't imagine the frustration crews must feel to arrive at a call like this and have to deal with the situation and the attitude of entitlement. <br />Over the last 12 months I've been in an ambulance 3 times (newly diagnosed epileptic) and I've made sure to say my please and thank you's. I'm eternally grateful to these crews, who knows if they'd had 2, 3, 4 of these calls before/after me?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875324006277490203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-59860371032994390162014-02-04T11:35:53.100+00:002014-02-04T11:35:53.100+00:00Sobering, if you excuse the punSobering, if you excuse the punBig Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615101172720853135noreply@blogger.com
