I tried to pull him up, when he sat up, he just fell back down and was really unwell and distressed.. I called NHS direct before I called the ambulence...and was told to get someone out immediately..I think common sense and human instict kick in.. my dad could breath and talk and wanst in masses of pain.. had it been more serious it would have been a different story and would have called them immediately( he had pneumonia).. I just dont understand how people will waste emergency services time.. lack of education I guess. I hope one day you are not attending a minor incidenet wheh he really needs your help!! Have much admiration for you...especailly having experienced the Ambulence service first hand recently.. truly bloody amazing !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-35364999671670292022012-06-07T21:02:16.607+01:002012-06-07T21:02:16.607+01:00oh dear god.oh dear god.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-71020532957182961922012-06-04T16:22:59.804+01:002012-06-04T16:22:59.804+01:00The problems are we have to do a full set of obs i...The problems are we have to do a full set of obs including ECG and document everything on a huge patient report form then again duplicate all patient details onto a non conveyance form. All takes time that could be better spent.

The woman who answered the door looked surprised that someone had turned up and commented as such. I was shown into a bedroom to see an 18 yr old crying on his bed. The woman had called because he had failed his driving test and had a sore face. That was the job. Nothing more. I just walked back out. Couldn't believe it. We need to start charging for jobs that do no warrant any ambulance attendance.simonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-31620369697116849022012-06-01T19:46:08.257+01:002012-06-01T19:46:08.257+01:00We responded to an A cat 'fall' when we ar...We responded to an A cat 'fall' when we arrived the patient was downstairs in her arm chair. When asked why we were called, her response was 'I need my blanket which is upstairs & I don't want to go get it myself' - He hadn't fallen at all. Jobs like this should be charged!Tutters999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489565303994499222.post-51891375743229858542012-06-01T19:31:36.698+01:002012-06-01T19:31:36.698+01:00Truly amazed how you have to respond to calls like...Truly amazed how you have to respond to calls like this, when here we wait for hours for an ambulance to convey people detained under the MHA to hospital because its not considered a priorityjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300838246902704344noreply@blogger.com
