Ambulance service
 

Came a across a collapsed 90 year man on a path while driving through a small village
With the help of another good man we got him up and he was a short distance from his house but had put him back down as he could make it any further his neighbour came out and we got a chair for him to sit on then spent 50 minutes on the phone to the ambulance service try to get him an ambulance, they basically interrogated him on the phone wanted stupid information only at the end to say he didn’t need an ambulance they would get a health service provider to call well I gave him a piece of my mind
Luckily this man’s carer drove up and we got him in the house and she could stay with him

Now for the p1ss take several hours later I get a call from the health provider me a stranger who drove by and helped another human being

The world is fcked up if that was a drink or druggie they would be straight out

You've had a stressful day, calm down dear.

Sounds like the old guy was chancing his luck to me. Trying to save on a taxi. In my opinion.

No he was visiting a neighbour a few doors down his wife is in a home and his son has just had his prostate removed

He had fallen a few days earlier at home so he has something that’s not right

I’m a very calm man to have in an emergency but that could of been my dad or any one else’s dad laying on a path at the side of the road

Take him in doors and let him die , is their attitude , telling me he got a 106 emergency’s

You did the right thing by stopping, and I'm aware off how calm you've needed to be at what's staring at you from the other side of that desk in the past.:shrug:

You've helped, the man is home, being cared for and you know half of his or his neighbours woes. You should have carried him home aloft in the chair. It was.only90 metres.:hee:

There was another big young man helping me
When someone can’t support themselves they become dead weight and unless you’ve experienced that you don’t realise how difficult that can be

I have two brothers who are very strong and when my dad collapsed with sepsis it took all their strength to get him in a car and off to hospital

What's wrong in both situations with a fireman lift?

You could do more harm than good old people lose bone density
You could easily break their bones or ribs
