Anyone, be they maternity, pyschy, orthopods, surgical ... anyone taking the proverbial of the ambulance service, which at the moment is free, is exploitational. As you may, or may not know I have a strong link with psychy care, and even when a very good friend of mine, who is very, very ill at the moment, called an ambulance because he was genuinely suicidal and slitting his wrists with a razor blade, got the short end of my tongue. He had other people who could take him into hospital. Harsh maybe, but we need to keep the ambulance services free for r.t.a's, etc, etc .... Glenda
