Ambulance Service
Yesterday I read that a six-week old baby died after having a heart attack. The little boy developed severe breathing difficulties, and then moments after reaching the hospital had a cardiac arrest. We will never know whether his life could have been saved with a quicker response from the emergency services. What we do know is that the wait for an ambulance was 41 minutes. Apparently this was because crews were at lunch.
This is an atrocious state of affairs. If crews can choose not to be disturbed at meal breaks then as far as I am concerned, they can fuck off. There will always be time to have a break and/or something to eat, in between work that is essential and the whole cuntin reason for the job existing! How on earth can it be right that an EMERGENCY service is not able to deal with emergencies on a timely basis? Fucking mad as fuck, and, I would suggest, immoral, wrong, deplorable, stupid, illogical, disgusting and dare I say criminal?
Fire & Rescue Service
We have in the past seen other pathetic examples, where firefighters do not enter water two-feet deep because of H&S concerns, when they are arguably the best trained pool-playing, dart-throwing people on hand to carry out rescues and put out fires in their spare time. At least, though, when there is an emergency, they make an effort to get to the scene quickly - which is more than those in the West Midlands Ambulance Service might do if they are mid-pastie. Today, though, I have read the unbelievable story about three fire engines and seven firefighters attending the scene of a trapped squirrel. That's right, a little grey cunt of a rat with a tail was struggling to get out of a pond. Someone has estimated the cost at £6000 (using a doubtless weird and irrelevant cost model to obtain a figure for an attention grabbing headline). Whatever the cost actually is/was, I want to know why my taxes are thought well used in sending seven uniformed people in three massive vehicles to save a cunting squirrel!
I suggest that the firefighters should have stayed in their cosy station and had another round of dominos, leaving the squirrel to die. I suggest that the ambulance people should have put their sandwiches to one side for a moment, and tried to save the life of a six-year-old boy.
This country is fucking screwed.

It would seem that the "squirrel rescue" was as a result of a 999 call which wasn't clear. The operator assumed that the victim was human and scrambled the appropriate team. Upon arrival, the firemen used the opportunity as a training exercise.
ReplyDeleteIn this case,the problem was an idiot using 999 to save a rodent and an incompetent operator who couldn't get the right info.
