10 things said guaranteed to wind up a Paramedic
By Graham Bailey
EKAM’s very own Paramedic
1. You'll need a stretcher.
2. He can't walk (although you've just watched him
run into the house to get his fags).
3. We've got him upstairs to bed.
4. The doctor said ring 999 for a taxi.
5. We'll follow behind in the car.
6. If we go by ambulance we'll get there faster (not
true).
7. It's not like this in "Casualty".
8. Pick my bag up driver. (My favourite)
9. My son's in St John's and he does your job for nothing.
10. I didn't know they let women drive.
11. The Doctor gave me these tablets 20 minutes ago and they don't work.
Alright 11 things then. Just remember what not to say if you have to ring for an
ambulance.
