Hi Tom, Thanks for your insights into your working day. I used to work at the Whittington A+E (you'll know it, i think)as an E-grade. I also applied to the LAS and was acccepted, but got put on a waiting list. In the meantime I went to stay in Holland, and never came back. I'm now a clinical tutor/paramedic here and I love every minute of it. It's great to read about your working day and te see how many similarities there are really. I chuckled a lot about the vehicles that are always breaking down, it's exactly the same here. Keep up the good work. Carl.
