"Apparently there was a discrepancy in their morphine stocks and until that was sorted they weren't allowed to carry anymore. So, the 20 minute journey to West Mid was not a comfy one!" It is very messed up IMO that YOU paid for that - surely if there's a discrepancy ambulances should still have correct stocks to treat patients - you know, those buggardly things that waste money that could go on pointless wars and CCTV cameras. What next - an ambulance gets a hubcap stolen so the crew have to run around by foot until some auditor discovers what the problem is? I totally get the importance of not having morphine going missing, but FFS.... Anyway, on a happeir note, great post mate, totally agree and would vote you in in a heartbeat!
