Training? Minimal.... it's down to old age, experience and gut instinct - hoping & praying that you're saying the right things to strike a chord & defuse the situation.<br />More power to the boys & girls in blue who cover our backs & get stuck in without hesitation. Should rationalization occur I'd be more than happy to share a station or a vehicle:-)Pongoladnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-61329336415389211732014-01-04T12:06:21.469+00:002014-01-04T12:06:21.469+00:00Well I am not keen on you people in green (paramed...Well I am not keen on you people in green (paramedics)...you bring me most of my work (a&e nurse). But I do admire your work. You pre alert patients in critical conditions and work with minimum staff and resources yet still nanage to often stabilise or improve their conditions enroute. You hardly get recognition for the hard work you do (like A&E staff) despite a lot of abusive and innappropriate patients you see. The focus in the news is never about all the good that is done and without any consideration for all the hard work and horror stories you hear about. I totally agree with the above blog. Id like to put forward one consideration though....maybe enroute with less serious cases you could call to a takeaway on the way to A&E you know sweeten the blow with some of the less desirable clients and make some of the miserable staff more approachable (JOKE) ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
