Hey, it really makes the heart swell to know that we're all being cared for and "managed" by such a caring lot eh??? Luckily for us though most of our direct managers have been "On the road" so at least when incidents do occur like this they generally do look after us, It's the "Hoy Polloy" managers a bit higher up, most of whom have never set foot inside an ambulance, that make the job most difficult.... They haven't got a clue about the job we do or the situations we find ourselves in on a regular (often daily) basis....... Sorry for my rant but a tad grumpy and knackered this evening ;0( .... just got home after a 12 hour shift.... 10 hours of which were spent off station, on the road, all over this vast county, going straight from job to job, total miles today? approx 200!!! (all bar one of these jobs were red calls) But glad to know that we are not alone ;0) Now then where did I put that bottle of red and huge bar of chocolate???? Hugs Snowdrop (soon to be chilled out and ready to do it all again tomorrow) ;0)
