A crap night at work turns good!

[paramedic paul]

Sorry for the bad grammar in the title but i've just finished an up and down 13 hours at work.

It started off badly with a terminally ill guy being taken for palliative care (The strength of the families still gets me even now.)

We then got the token assaulted drunk (every night shift has at least one!)

We then had several non travellers where they had contacted the out of hours GP who called us, we bounced back all 3 cases to them as A + E was the worst possible place for the patients.

Then we had a great job, walked into a house to here almighty screaming coming from upstairs, walked into the bedroom to see a young lady spread eagled and naked from the waist down obviously in the latter stages of child birth! 30 mins later i'm in the slips catching 8lb baby Cameron!!!!!!!!! Poor little sod, the first thing it see's on entering the big wide world is my ugly mug Midwife arrives as usual 20 mins after it's all over.

What a feeling, just when you are starting to wonder why you do the job something like this crops up

Good for you. Glad it turned out for the better.

Now...as Scrooge Brown and his cronies will be saying.....with that level of job satisfaction you don't need a payrise!

[KiwiMagic]

I often look at you guys doing that job and think "jeez, don't know if I could do that". Certainly have to wonder at the morons that abuse and assult paramedics who are there only to help.

Glad that you day ended on a high. The mum will remember you guys for life and tell the story to her kid (I am sure on more than one occassion). Well done.

The most excitement I get out of my job is discovering that a bank made an error and owes us money. Not quite the same!!!

Again well done and try and remember the highs when the "blues" set in.

Its great when a shit day or night has a happy finish to it!!!!

The circle of life all in one shift....

A little celebration is in order

Had you thought about taking up cricket? I hear England are always on the look out for people who can catch!

You feel happy now but wait a couple of years until you get sued for giving Cameron a fear of big fat men dressed in green

Safe diving,

How Dare You!!!! The child will eat his sweetcorn now, all mum has to do is to remind him of the Jolly Green Giants visit!

And yes I did see you this morning taking sainted offspring to school!

Thanks guys for the comments and the "Greens."

Some times the job gets difficult, sometimes you want to smack someone in the mouth but sometimes, just sometimes who cares about the crap, the job becomes worthwhile again!!!!
