(I tried posting something like this from my ambulance cab, but for some reason it never turned up).
Another young man has been shot, this time just down the road from my station. A bit earlier someone had been attacked with a machete. Sometimes Newham feels like a warzone.
Is anybody listening to what they're saying on the news at the moment!!! Seems they're going to close a load of A&E departments in some areas, which will directly result in ambos having to travel further! surely this is increasing risk to people like this who have been seriously injured!mind you, they are singing your praises!! and all the callers are saying you should be paid more.
When I worked at Baragawanath hospital, that would be considered and exceptionally quiet night.
