Probably the best and the worst jobs that you can do in the ambulance service involve children. I have certainly had a my fair share of "naughty" jobs. I work on an FRV so I would have been that guy in the room on my own waiting for the backup to arrive. Sometimes it can only be a matter of minutes, but boy does it feel longer when the kiddie isn't breathing or breathing properly. Out of interest, if you hadn't required a shower and change would your guys have given you some time out after that job for a clinical debrief? or would it just have been time to get on with it? I know after my last one the crew that backed me up and myself had a chance to collect some thoughts amongst ourselves and the station manager, not because there were clinical issues, but just to allow the body and brain to get back to some sense of normality. Although if you are anything like me, you tend to only start thinking about it properly about six or seven hours later...... Glad to hear littleun is making a full recovery, hope you, your crew mate and the FRV pilot did too.........
