Signing Out
Tonight, for the first time in I can't remember how long, I signed myself off duty from both Ambulance Controls. It didn't feel good, but a lot better than the thought of being on scene and unable to do anything because of my blasted ribs!
hope you get better soon! we wouldnt want you to injure yourself even more and end up in an ambulance!! Great blog by the way i love reading the stuff that you get up to!
I am a BASICS Doctor. I am one of a select group of doctors who give up their time to provide medical care at the roadside. My son has nagged me to put some more details in, so you can blame him.
I am married, and we have 5 kids. My wife is a photographer, and I'm only occasionally jealous of what she does! Our eldest wants to be a doctor. I'm trying to persuade him to find a proper career. The only problem with that is he sees how much I enjoy what I do.
Our daughter, second in line, is the artist of the family. She will be VERY famous when she is older, I have no doubt.
Our younger three boys are, fortunately, too young to have to worry about careers - much more interested in TV and computer games than anything else - ah, the joys of youth!!
I am an A&E Consultant of a fairly large District General Hospital. This helps me keep up my trauma skills, as we are very close to both the M1 and the M25.
