ALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES do unnecessarily and anyone with common sense can see such.
They have been TRAINED to disrupt the flow of traffic, I don't believe it.
I spend a hell of a lot more time on the road than you do chap.
You don't believe it? I'm suddenly unsurprised. Are you from Greenoch?
Oh wait, Meldrew had empathy.
Yes of course they are trained to disrupt traffic, did you miss the bit about the blue lights and horns? They have to defensively park in order to protect themselves and their patient from idiots who will try to squeeze through and put people at risk.
Learn to reverse and three point turn, the next shout could be to your house or to your collapsed friend on his way back from the paper shop.
Actually stooo, the final module for the paramedic diploma is 'parking like a bastard' - extra credit is given for the number of people inconvenienced by the ambulance. Paramedics totally have nothing better to do when on a call than think up ways to piss people off.
Obviously it's not as if taking an extra couple of minutes or so to park up elsewhere could make much difference to someone in cardiac arrest, or bleeding out.

This often means parking six inches on the pavement at midnight in a housing estate but nope .... middle of the road.
I too am all for fire engines to smash cars out of the way but this attitude of these people can do no wrong is plain daft.
I've even been present on one occasion in a house when a big fat guy I know who is diabetic T2 was insulted with endless insinuations about his weight and the fact that there were crisp packets and fizzy drinks on the table.
I intervened and made them stop and pointed out that the offending items belonged to his kids.
One more insinuation or direct insult and I'll be reporting you.
I got the son to video the rest of the happening.
Please don't try and tell me that all these people are heroic angels.
There are some right bastards in the job too.

I'm not too great with reports, probably best to sort it out on the open board.
Losing weight is obviously a good thing for type 2 diabetics, were the things they said just suggestions and advice about eating and weigh loss.. or actual insults. There is obviously a difference.

Ok fair enough, that is out of order. Every single workplace will have a few dicks working for them though. I have a fair bit of experience in Hospitals, some years back my Dad was in one for four months, and in all that time only 1 Auxilliary Nurse behaved inappropriately, leaving my Dad alone(in a mess) for too long etc, I wont go into that any further. After complaining to a senior Nurse about this woman, she soon disappeared off the scene when it came to looking after my Dad. Any Ambulance people I've came across they've always behaved perfectly.Rolluplostinspace wrote:jp761 wrote:Losing weight is obviously a good thing for type 2 diabetics, were the things they said just suggestions and advice about eating and weigh loss.. or actual insults.

Been stuffing your face I see.
The possibility that they might be in your way isn't their priority. I actually think most of them do their level best to not inconvenience others, but as I said, this isn't their priority.Major Starbold wrote:Some of you will not see cus ya don't want to see.
Many a time they could park as not to inconvenience others IF THEY WANTED TO DO SUCH.
HAVE YOU SEN AMBULANE PERSONNEL ARRIVE SOMEWHERE,ALIGHT, AMBLE UP TO THE FRONT DOOT AS IF THEY HAVE SH** THEMSELVES.??????????????????????
BTW Stooo, I am not impressed that you believe you drive more miles than myself such info is worthless on this thread..

And use a spell check.
And get a new keyboard.
And try to lerna de inglish betta....
