Guest rjbsec Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Two ambulance crews failed to reach a dying man because they were on breaks ordered by European rules. A paramedic arrived quickly by car after the 73-year-old collapsed on New Year Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/14870-eu-health-safety-regulations-really-are-a-killer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Remember this is the Daily Mail. Best Comic Fiction award 2006 (and several years previously....) Having undergone training to become a paramedic i find this story (myself...that is) very hard to belive....As a paramedic you under take an oath to save lives...tea break or not..myself when i used to be a paramedic i WOULD NEVER sit on my break knowing someone needed us,also managers WOULD NEVER to put two crews on the same break as the ambulance service is an EMERGENCY SERVICE think i have to agree best fiction story..we really should'nt belive anything you read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest Alarm Guard Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I definitely doubted the bit in the story about the paramedic ringing 999 for an ambulance. Surely he/she would have used radio communication or at least a dedicated phone line for paramedics.

Surely he/she would have used radio communication or at least a dedicated phone line for paramedics. None of it adds up...I don't doubt for one moment there are some very silly rules in the NHS,but if the control room sent a IRV (which carries all the kit a standard ambulance does) they would have also sent a ambulance as well as you would'nt bundle a heart attack victim in the back of vauxhall astra to get him/her to hospital Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/14870-eu-health-safety-regulations-really-are-a-killer/#findComment-141885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellzbellz666 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think thats the only way to get people in the back of a vauxhall astra. Bundle them in when unconcious I dont even like sitting in the front of one, especially when I'm driving Parachute for sale used once....unopened....slight stain Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/14870-eu-health-safety-regulations-really-are-a-killer/#findComment-141887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
