That story appeared in several newspapers, not just the tabloids. Every LAS crew is familiar - as TR says - with getting off late. It's one of those things - you don't sod off in the middle of working on a cardiac arrest just because your twelve hours is up. Crews frequenty cop an emergency or critical transfer between hospitals when close to the end of the shift. We in EOC try as far as possible to hold the transfer for an incoming crew, or for a crew who is on duty for several more hours, but Sods Law specifies that some poor crew will end up doing a 13, 14 or 15 hour shift. Unfortunately, you have to shrug your shoulders and get on with it. The up-side is the possiblilty that - the following day - you don't get a break and end up going home early - Swings And Roundabouts. I foresee a sacking on the horizon.
