i fucking hate using google as i always get 9 million pages and what ever you tyoe they send you loads of random ebay links aswell as price comparison sites
this site has alot of educated people and find its easier to discuss a situation like this with people in the know
not like i feel anything that happens will change whats happened,,,,,,, just be nice to discover that either the laws should be changed or someone should be held acountable that a 15 year old child died due to a manager tryin to reach is bonus at the end of the year
btw im not bitter at any of this,,,,,,,, just wanna know whats what

the reason is the ones on board couldnt use the machine to help assit her epileptic fit and she died of cardiac arrest on route to hospital
i COULD moan about how it took them 45 mins to travel 15mins normal driving to her,,,,,,, but i understand theres already moans about this and if we was told that they could take upto a hour then tbh his mum would have called her son to drive over and take her there ,,,,,,,, but no fooker could guess that would happen,,,,,,,,,, just would have been nice if they sent anyone who could use the toys that helped rather than 3 people who can wrap a bandage

btw this aint a dig any any staff even the ones that arrived as they are just repsonding to a call and working hard like the always have too

cheers, its unfortunate to say but funerals are actually not a bad thing as i met LOADS of people i aint seen for 10 years and never even thought about so i like to think that some good has come from it
even hearing about a mate who made a bad spur of the moment reflex and deck a bloke who anoyed him infront of 2 old bill and he got nicked for it,,,,,,,,,, talk about bad luck

its a shitty job on the basis that you never get real thanks when you save someones life as the doctor then takes over and gets all the praise but when things like this happen you then get blaimed

Yeah totally agree
thats why im taking my time on this rather than applying and spending 8wks on training before im out there being responsible for others!!! have joined St Johns Ambulance so am doing as many courses as i can and getting experience before i go out there
Plus i feel like im doing something more to help by starting off for free and in my spare time

If there would be anybody to blame at all mate, it would be managers, the people that have no idea
as we're (the medical staff) being screwed
at the mo, whilst they drive around in there BMW's and the like, working all hours, doing things only doctors should do, that's the piss.
Id expect they were trying to save costs as the NHS is in such a state at the mo, hospitals making redundances, even closing in the near future i bet, then what will happen???!!
F@@kin labour

fair point
but surely the bad press leads to a good thing ??
i know its crap at first but it must go better if enough complaits go forward
cause if it is the case that they should have had 1 paramedic on board and fook all happens im sure we will be asking for the person responsible

My brother and sister in law are both paramedics, they said that they doesn't have to be a paramedic on board 2 technicians can man an ambulance, the AIM is for at least every ambulance to have a paramedic but at the moment that is not the case.
this applies to the north east ambulance trust not sure of other area's of the uk.

I've stated my position about attacks on the NHS before:
Take it up with the politicians, the managers or the people who keep votong for lower taxes instead of decent public services. Often the same ones who reckon they are entitled to everything but have no responsibilities.
Don't even think about moaning at the folk doing their best in difficult circumstances. I know I'd rather have a technician or a first aider turn up than no-one at all, but even having no-one turn up would be preferable to a local councillor, MP or hospital manager.
And I am truly sorry for the loss of a young life. Please don't misunderstand me.

she was pleased when the girls uncle phoned her and thanked her for helping the girl out, and the doctors said the girl could have died if it wasnt for her.
