Second job of the shift is a 57 year old female with chronic emphysema, who for the past two weeks has had increasing difficulty with her breathing. While she was able to talk I could tell that she was having trouble breathing.
Once more, I was able to give her oxygen before the ambulance turned up, and as we were only 400yards from hospital she has had a rapid transport to hospital.
I'm now going to cruise the area looking for trouble while listening to some Polyphonic Spree on the CD player.
Hard life this ambulance work...

Keep up the good work. And hey, remember to tell us about your average speed and the distances that you traverse when delivering hot pizzas - sorry fresh oxygen - to those little old ladies.
