Barmy, what a waste of time.
Could have been people having a heart attack and similar whilst they're dicking around with a family who's just came in and needs a once over.

As if someone's got the title wrong
I'd bin this thread off and start again
I certainly won't be partaking in it
This paramedic lad has a heart of gold.

But you clearly have.
Amazes me the people who feel the need to comment on a thread just for the sake of commenting.
The Dad with extreme PTSD and the expectant mother who hadn't been near maternity services. That family?

They didn't need urgent attention. They could have got a taxi up to A and E. It took a much needed ambulance out of service for the best part of hours.

I think it was the "just came in" element of your comment he reacted to.

I'm a bit of a fan of the show, but I didn't like the episode last night.
Those two controllers just wound be up no end and looked to be just playing up to the cameras.
My wife (no) works with ambulance crews daily and they do deal with some horrible stuff, but last night it gave the impression that they broke down in tears after every job, which is probably down to the editing not the real life actuality of the role.
I thought it made the whole operation seem very amateurish and not as professional as the other services that have been used in previous seasons. I know many ambulance and NHS staff personally and I didn't feel this was a true representation of how they work at all.

They did, they had only been in the country for 17 days.

They don't know what attention they need until they attend.
After what period of time would you deem them eligible?

What was stopping them getting a taxi up the road to the hospital?
Total waste of the paramedics time.
What if they had no money? He had symptoms of a heart attack too

This wasn’t as interesting as other series of the program that have been on…I did warm to many of the characters in last nights episode…apart from the young lad paramedic..
