Think yourself lucky you don;t work for LAS (London Ambulance

My daughter often says things like;

"I had to back up an EMT in an FRU who was attending a 53YOM with DIB
and a GCS of 11".

On new years eve she was clinical lead in a FIT with a RVP in
Leicester Square.

EMT = Emergency Medical Technician
FRU = Fast Reaction Unit
53YOM = 53 Year Old Male

GCS = Glasgow Coma Scale
