A MASSIVE thank you to...........

[speed_monkey]

The paramedic that came this morning (Christmas day) at 2:00am!!!

My Nan had a hypo due to her blood sugar being so low and was completely unresponsive.

The paramedic was here within ten minutes and didn't leave until she was sure my Nan was okay.

So a massive thank you to you

Merry Christmas everyone

Fantastic people. In the summer I had a call from a friend that was in deep trouble. My wife drove me as fast as possible to their house whilst I called 999 to co-ord a rv. They got there first! And that was the beginning of a long journey. Anyway the crew were absolutely fantastic.

Merry Christmas to them and a big thank you for what you do; often in the hostile drug and drink riddled streets.

I was so surprised, the paramedic was a female and by herself!!!

That could prove scary, god knows what sort of situations she could be potentially walking into!

My wife was a community midwife and was once held over a balcony in a block of flats by a looney. To say I wasn't amused is an understatement! I went with her to a martial arts self defence course after that.

Indeed. They get an awful lot of grief from drunks etc and have none of the PPE that Police have.

Daughter a Paramedic and working today. Interestingly she was measured for a "stab vest" a few weeks ago, to be issued in the New Year.

a friend of mine from my karate club i a fast response paramedic.

a throughly nice guy and you feel very humble when he talks about his shouts (which he doesn't do very often).

certainly makes me feel inadequate.

I do hear that karate develops your reactions.
