Anyone watch this? Gees ohh our ambulance people have to put up wth some cr@p eh!
Tonights episode is about the elderly: Most have either had a wee stumble,fell out the bed or rolled over and set their careline alarms off,at all hours of the night it seems,and the ambulance service have too attend.
There was Ivy with her soft english voice who was ever so thankfull for them helping her up from the floor.
There was the oldboy (mustta been in his 80,s) who rolled on his alarm at 5am and they where banging on his door,he opened the door in his boxers and had a laugh about it as well as saying sorry.
Then there was Jean:who lived in a carehome and had bumped her head and was feeling a little dizzy.
Ambulance guys walk in and say Jena Im such & such and here to help you! She looks up and says wit you staunin there fur ya skinny cant! My names farking Jean no farking Jena ya cant! Ok Jean Im here to help you,touch me ya farking cant and I,ll put you through that farking windae ya skinny cant! The guy and all the staff where p1shing themselfs laughing.
Priceless so it was,had me in tears of laughter.

Last winter found a young lad in an alleyway having a seizure after having been bottled. Phoned the 999 for an ambulance. It arrived a good five mins after the rozzers, who incidentally I didn't phone. I think they the ambulance dudes must hang back till after the police arrive. If I thought someones life was genuinely in danger after an assault, I would probably not mention it or at least down play it. My two cents.

Part of my point is that the Ambulance guys/gals never signed up to the job to be called out at 5am to help Jonny off the floor,but Jonny had been on the floor so long he,s pashed and shat himself,now they must bath and clean him up get him changed all in 15mins? They where also saying out of 10 call outs on a day 6 of them can be from mental health patients,the hardest of all call outs according to theses guys/gals They have my respect

Most people in that profession are massively underpaid.
When I was rushed to hospital in February they were absolutely fantastic. Arrived at one hospital (the closest), They drugged me up, got me 'stable' then rushed me across a 40 minute drive in an ambulance to a specialist burns unit. The whole time I was in hospital, everyone involved was just fantastic.

Did you see last weeks about death near death, flucjing depressing watching half the people die.
About 2 years ago me and a mate rescued a girl who had thought it was good idea to jump into the Kelvin river after drink in January. Water was a torrent and freezing. She - luckily - grabbed onto a drainage pipe on the side of the river opposite Inn Deep pub where me and a mate were smoking at the time. Again luckily as no-one else was out there when we heard screaming and saw her floating down the river until she caught the pipe. When we pulled her out she lost consciousness, the ambulance crew and firemen who arrived first were great. It was my mate who got her out, by grabbing a passers bys bag to lower down the 6 foot drop which she grabbed and held onto whilst we pulled her up before she lost consciousness. Was in shock all night myself after it.

Thats shocking mate,it really is man,heart wrenching stuff! Did you see the one when the guy kept hearing voices? Even when the ambulance guys turned up hes telling them,them two in the corner keep telling me to do it! What a horrible experience that must be,this guy was in his 40,s and had a kid,he couldn,t get to see the kid because every time he went to hospital he was told basically thats he,s fine and discharged within an hour..then he would self harm by cutting his arm,thankfully he got sorted and proper medication and nows see,s his little un.
