Re: Non-Carers Who Care
by plankyboy
it is nice to see people caring for others but sometimes that care can actually get in the way of how things should be dealt with in a reasoonable manner case in point bus full of passengers driver breaks sharplsy and one of the elderly passengers falls off her seat, of course ambulance is sent for, when crew arrived and examined patient not only did we find her safe ane well but she did not want to travel to hospital she simply wanted to go home and as the bus stopped at her front door we were more than willing for this to happen and get ourselves "back out there". This was all fine until the public decided they wanted to decide the patients outcome, with much mumbling and grumbling of "she lives by herself she should go to hospital" for the first time on the road i felt part of a reality show with the decision going down to a txt message and phone poll. Myself and my partner both fearing the public lynching that was bound to follow took the easy road out and took said patient in for assessment and extended her simple journey home by about six or seven hours. So yes it is great when we get assisstance, that is just that, wish it was always the case
