The member of the public who calls in doesn’t want to get too close and put themselves in danger, so they let a paramedic or police officer put themselves in danger instead. Because of course, emergency responders are made of steel and can’t get hurt.

I'm sorry, but that kind of sentence gets my back up.  I do not agree full stop with violence towards the emergency services, but saying that about the caller is just plain wrong.

We are shown stories day in day out of good samaritans who end up very badly beaten up or dead.  Would it have made it onto his blog if the samaritan had in fact gone to help and been the one taken to hospital?? i dont think they would.

As said, am having a dig at the blog poster for that comment, not the actual thing that happened, which as Dazza said, is completely sickening.

Can't say for anywhere else but around here if the Ambulance Service personel are threatened they will warn the "casualty" once, and if the threats continue they will walk away, on the grounds that the "casualty" has refused treatment. They normally go around the corner until the "casualty" passes out and then come back to treat them.

I have even seen St John personel threatened at events!

We hate the scrotes who do this.

My collegues over in the Yorkshire Ambulance Service can all probably tell their own individual tales about the nasty natures of some of the 'oxygen thieves' they deal with.

I know we can


1. It's not too long since I heard about one patient grabbed a Nurse round the throat (in classic strangulation postion)
However, he let go when she kneed him in the 'family jewels'
Good girl :clap:

I'm almost saddened to say it, but he ought to have tried it with a different Nurse of ours............................
She's a Kick-Boxer, & went to a Federation/Association(?) World Championship in Florida earlier on the year.

She was 'on target' for the gold medal in her age/weight/ability catagory.

However.... believe it or not, she got marked down to silver, for 'being too aggresive' :shock:




2. I helped one of the Security Guards to remove a drunken patient the other week (he was refusing to leave - after self-discharging, only one guard in grounds at that point, I was only male staff in department at time - bar Doctors)
We walked him off the grounds, where he started mouthing off at us, got a bit fed-up at getting no response.
Then had a swing at me, connected with my cheek, but was just too far away to hit with any real force.
As I walked away, he lunged after me, but was too unsteady & fell to the ground.
Was helped up & asked if he wanted to return for treatment -  which was aggresively refused

A couple of days later he was back for a similar reason (collapsed in street)
I ended up talking to him in the waiting room, trying to persuade him to leave under his own steam (slightly warily, in case he remembered me. I was tempted to remind him of his behaviour towards me, just to see what he did)
Eventually he did, once we found a taxi prepared to take him



3. I had my nose broken (in October 2006) by a junkie that I was simply showing the way out, straight 'out of the blue' he turned round & wallop!
Thankfully in front of CCTV & multiple witnesses :-k

T'was fun watching him then get flattened by one of the (6 foot, 16stone, r*bgy playing) Doctors (Andy Pountney, now one of the 'Helicopter Heroes' TV documentary Doctors)

But to me that is why these people do these jobs, they sort of chose to help the public by dealing with the unplesant side of humanity and the public. I would probably do the same, as I know i would get in more trouble if I tried to help and it kicked off.  But this doesn't mean it gives the creatins any right to abuse or assualt these people who try to make aour lives safer.
