Performing actions that make you look like an epileptic mating with a windmill will not speed up our arrival. In fact we may just drive past for the hell of it. Also, when we get there please don't tell me i'll need a stretcher. Does it look like the NHS make stretchers that bend around corners and go upstairs?
If the patient got themselves up to bed then they can as sure as hell get themselves down the stairs again, especially if they weigh 25 stone.
While we're at it...Abdo pain does not stop your legs from working. Out of principle I try not to carry anyone who is younger than me, admittedly i'm carrying more people than ever now.
I'm a Paramedic. That makes me smile.
I'm actually a Team Leader, that makes me smile even more.
If only they knew.
