Friggin cold phone callers

Around my the ambulances are often sitting around in standby locations, on a clear side of the regular traffic bottlenecks, so getting to a patient is not so much of a problem. Getting them to hospital may be a different matter - a recent _slight_ scattering of snow a few days ago resulted in 3 hours to travel 14 miles to work!

Ambulances & FRUs don't usually return to station after a call, they stay at strategic points (RVPs).

Indeed, although I guess they keep one or two at our local station as it's fairly central. My callouts have always come from there - 0.5 miles away!

- SWMBO in suddenly accelerated labour

- car accident outside

- man driving into bus outside

- kid falling under car outside

- me collapsing on floor due to allergic reaction, banging head

- and son vomiting on station platform up the road (less said about that one...)

Blimey! I'm glad I don't live near you!

Bet your daughter is glad she doesn't work near me!
