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

Nurses/Doctors/Surgeons/Ambulance Staff

are drastically underpaid..

The job these people do are seriously underthought.. Without these people, life expectancy would be a lot lower Cant be easy to deal with someone dying in front of you either

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.

Didn't see that one Bluebell. I keep missing it tbh and have watched some on 4od. Will catch up with them all though on 4od. Doesn't sound good that one.

Aye try and watch last nights one (elderly) it wasn,t all bad,like auld Jean in my op,honest to god she cracked me up the grumpy auld git!

There was one old dear tho who was so independent,she lost her husband 4 years ago and lived alone with no carer at the age of 100,she was took to hospital but passed away 2 months later
