    Nothing changes :rolleyes:

    I spent 22 years of my life in an A & E service and "white taxi" was as true then as it would appear as now.

    I was one of the first 6 pilot courses that started the "paramedic" treatments in the London Accident and Emergency Service in 1971 and took the flack from the medical profession because they didnt accept the "need" for the advanced training.

    Much of that attitude was because time wasters make up a lot of unnesassary usage of specialist time ( bit like DNA's with this profession and others)

    The problem is always...you have to accept the "possible" worst scenario when taking a 999 call and the drunk and lazy will always "tell a tale" to get the "white taxi" there and make their demands on the crew.

    I havent a clue how the morons described can be disuaded from abusing the Emergency services unless a firm charge is made or their benefits cut to pay for that abuse.
    I'm just gald I'm not involved anymore and can continue my life without the abuse , violence and frankly hatred that ambulance crews /A & E staff are subjected to today , in the name of "helping the sick and injured"
    Cheers
    Derek;)
