Get some proper paramedics then!

That frankly is highly insulting to a dedicated & caring bunch of
people who spend years training and work long, antisocial hours for
relatively little reward.

I have nothing against paramedics, yours need retraining to become
paramedics.


You are a very sad man. I don't think I'm alone in forming that
opinion.

You are just confusing what paramedics are.

Ok then Dennis, educate us all and tell us exactly what a paramedic is
compared to an EMT - don't forget there are three grades of EMT and two
grades of paramedic within LAS.

We are waiting your words of wisdom.......

You are talking about ambulance technicians AFAICS.

No such thing.

While these are trained they shouldn't be attending cardiac calls as
they can't administer the required treatment.

They wouldn't, they don't exist. You might mean EMT's who are fully trained
in dealing with cardiac arrest.

Now go away and learn something before you start insulting others.

PS I hope that they get some medical training as well as a one day
course in driving the fast response cars.. having someone arrive ten
minutes early who can't do the required treatment is a waste of time.

You really don't have a clue you ****wit do you? You clearly have no idea
just how well trained these people are.

If your NHS trust can't afford paramedics then its time someone sorted
them out.

That would be the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, the largest free
ambulance service in the world with 839 paramedics and 1,593 EMT's and 950
vehicles spread over 70 ambulance stations?

I'm sure they will get the hang of things one day...
