It's a quiet day in A&E. Not all that unusual; after all, a lot of people are on holiday in August, so the population has gone down. The emergency 'phone rings in the Department. It's for me! A call to the M1, where a car has rolled multiple times. The occupants are not badly injured, Despatch tells me, but, as there is only one ambulance available, I may be able to help by triaging them away from hospital, thereby saving a vehicle or two. This is an occasional use of my time, and I am always happy to oblige.
I call out to the staff that there is an opportunity to accompany me. There is a scurry of activity, as Baldy and Newby fight for the right to join me.
"Steady on, lads!" I say. "It's not that exciting a job! No point getting all worked up."
"We know," replies Baldy. "It's not the job, it's the possibility of being mentioned in your blog!"
*sighs*
The price of fame, RRD... :) Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnd they both succeeded. :)
ReplyDeleteHi RRD,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog yesterday from 'The Paramedic's Diary' and I have to say I really like it! I read the whole thing yesterday.
Haha! That's really funny.
I'm 16 and I am hoping to become a Paramedic as my career. I'm just hoping by the time I will have qualified, the LAS are recuriting again...
Brilliant blog,
Katie
