The amount of times I have blue lighted to a hospital for a matty transfer then had to stand around and wait for 10,20 even 30 minutes while the staff "prepare" the patient for moving is ridiculous. And then when we eventually head off we end up having to turn back to the matty cause they are to far advanced! I have even been called as a 999 call to the matty on numerous occasions to insert a cannula because, as the staff put it, "we haven't done one for a while and you lot are doing them all the time"!!! In over 10 years of service I have only ever had one baby born in the back of my motor (attended plenty home births etc). Glad to see its not just me that gets irked with "matty jobs"!!
