Ambulance Crews.
Discussion
Just wanted to say this (from the Heart)
We Have had experiences with the Sussex and Kent / London Ambulance Crew's over the last few years with my Baby Daughter and GF both seriously Ill (life threatening)
I just wanted to mention on here that this service is amazing and if there are any members on here who work in this industry then we really appreciate what you do on a day to day basis.
You are amazing and thank you for all you efforts.
Without going into too much detail.
My daughter was seriously ill with a virus aged 18 months and then my GF suffered anaphylaxis on three seperate occasions.
Today My GF's mother suffered a serious attack and "died" for ten minutes.
The Abulance Crew worked their socks off , "sweating" and "sweating" to save her.
We honestly feel that they did everything they could to save her and I wanted to say on here that we are so ever grateful to them and the amazing ability they provide (needless to say we are writing to the dept to express our thanks)
In this sad time for our family , the cars, money, lifestyle, work, bills etc, ect dont matter one bit! , in fact we all could not care less about these "things"
The Ambulance crew gave dignity to our Mum and we feel so grateful to these amazing people.
God Bless them all.
But when you see these men and women work so hard to protect life, I honestly feel they deserve much more in salary and respect.
Not sure if this makes sense, but we wanted to express how much these people do and the skills they have.
The Ambulance crews are amazing people.
You never know when life changes and hits you in the face.
Be nice to each other as you never know what tomorrow holds !
Sorry if this sounds deep but thats how we feel right now.
Thanks for reading this article.
God Bless the Ambulance Crews all over the UK.
Thank you for what you have done for us .
We will do all we can to create support for the department.
Thank you to them Men and Ladies in this Service.

Again 100% Agree with you, good friend of mine is an A&E nurse and I have nothing but the upmost respect for her, the way I earn my living seems almost embarrasing compared to what she does on a day to day basis. I agree entirely that they aren't paid sufficently for what they do.
I wish you GF's Mother all the best for a speedy recovery, maybe us PH'ers could organise a bit of a fund raise for the Ambulance/A&E service somehow?
Best Regards
Matt

Thanks Guys / Gals for all your kind words.
Sadly today ended in Sadness for our family but the respect we have for this amazing Ambulance service is awsome!
I have worked in Professional Sports for 17 years and I dont aim to be Political (its not my style) but when you witness these guys / gals do their "stuff" it really deserves a bigger salary (if money could define importance in life etc...) Sorry If this does not make 100% sense to every reader (no offense intended) but the job these people do is amazing and we honestly hope that you do not have to experience it first hand.(Seriously)
I would like to add Nurses, Doctors, etc to the above comment.
Football / Sports is a Game, not Life.
But sometimes you dont appreciate these comments until it is too late. (Trust Me on this)
I know there are others who are suffering far worse than my family and our thougts are with them also (e.g the London Bombings) but I feel that each person's "Battles" on their "own" are difficult to "defeat" and the pain is relative to the family.
It makes our family sad that so many people want to hurt innocent people here in London.(ref the Bombings)
Having Grown up in a large Council Estate in Thamesmead - South East london, where all of our "immediate" community got on (very well may I add!) , its hard to understand what is happening right now in London but our hearts go out to those affected by such awful acts of violence.
Sorry to change direction on this thread but I was trying to mention that our problems are small compared to those who are affected by the awful acts in London during the past month.
We really appreciate your kind words Guys / gals (ref Piston Heads) . It does make a difference. Thank you so Much to you all.
We have had a difficult and unexpected day but efforts of the Ambulance Service and the kind words of the PH's here makes us feel quite humble.
Thanks for your support.

Hi Matt,
I know there are many causes so to speak but I am %100 behind you on this.
Please message me with any ideas.
I know the "lads" in the football leagues will be more than happy to support this Idea.
Many Thanks
Pete

Always wanted to be in an ambulance. Unfortunately life conspired against me. Not enough money and certainly not enough prestidge.
Not really interested in the blue flashing lights or the speeding (although that would be fun). But I remember from my years in casualty that you could save more lives more quickly at the scene of an accident with a heavy dose of common sense, than with all the hospital equipment and highly trained professionals at the hospital.
The facts of life are probably that an ambulance man with his head screwed on well would end up totting up a higher score against the forces of nature than I ever would or will.
The only down side is that he never gets to take part in peoples lives, and I do.

I too totally agree that paramedics/ambulance crews are underpaid and overworked. Only last year my dad complained of chest pains and mum asked if she should call the doctor, he said no call the ambulance, they arrived within miutes and whisked him off to hospital. When we turned up about an hour later the doctor who was dealing with my dad said that he owed the ambulance crew a huge debt as his heart had stopped on the journey over and they had to resucitate him. Apparently the same crew phoned up the hospital the following day to see if he had survived. I really wish that I had contacted them to thank them for their efforts.
Heart felt condolences maserati3200gt.
And I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. I owe my life to the Nothamptonshire ambulance service after they and the fire brigade were able to save myself and my ex from an horrific car crash last February. Without their truely amazing efforts I would surely not be here today to write this.
They are true heros, one and all

Only had the misfortune to use the ambulance service once and it was perfect. I still have vivid memories of chasing it down the A11 at an indicated 115MPH - one of those big American jobbies!
I wont go into the details but suffice to say they were polite, extremely helpful and provided excellent medical assistance and advice. All of which were essential to the situation. So much so, we sought out those involved to give them our personal thanks.... So many times they just do the job and dont get praise - its a shame.
Heartfelt sympathy for you and hope everything gets better soon. Thankfully access to high quality emergency care is easy.
