Is he usually with another person pats? I wonder if they normally work in pairs, and on this occasion the paramedic was alone, and therefore it would have been against regulations to have left the car. But if that is the case, the rules are an ass!
nope he works alone mims.
Sorry Pats and Minim but you’re simply wrong on this one
No Fast response staff will go into a situation which is unsafe or potentially unsafe- it is their safety which takes primacy
I remember a few years ago a pal of mine felt really ill.she asked me over as she should not cope. she lived 3rd floor on a block of 4 new tenement housing association flat..
the doctor came and I went to the door and invited the doctor in..with a wave of after “you maam” .. she freaked and made ME walk in front of her. which i duly did,I introduced her to her patient,then assumed they would need privacy for a consultation. so ;left the room..ye gods,,!!
She demanded i came back and Sat with her ! my pal was taken into hospital with a serious menigoccal complaint..The ambulance boys came and they explained that particular G.P is notorious for mistrust.
Yes i KNOW things are bad ! and everyone is viewed with suspicion..This GP couldnt look at me ,for assuming i was a bad’un. no apology..nothing ! Even as i frantically explained to the paramedics the docs prognosis was wrong ! and it was..so the moral of the story IS… trust paramedics before a g.p with a “target” to score. They are better trained !
When I saw the thread title (“Rapid response cars) ….. I thought this thread was going to be all about our regular member “fastcars”.
His response is probably too rapid to be worthy of comment.

That is what the rule book says.

So you’re telling me that if you were a lone female rapid response paramedic, you would throw the rule book aside on a daily basis and put your own life in danger for the sake of a complete stranger?? Hardly. You can be the best trained paramedic in the world, but it wont get you very far if theres a knife in your back.
And it wont get the “patient” very far if it turns out there was no real threat and the “patient” dies, and how often is there really a threat. She’s gonna be wishing she did something for the rest of her life
They’re not paid enough to put their life on the line for a stranger. You would’nt do it, why should they?
I doubt they do it simply for the money they certainly arent paid enough to spend rest of their lives thinking they could have saved someone if only.. dont tell me she’s gonna just accept the fact that she didnt she’s probably gonna consider herself a coward and almost certainly need councelling
