Following on from a rather brash tweet about paramedics.
A brilliant thread on being over cautious when transporting people (especially the elderly) to ED and how that can have devastating consequences for the patient.
You train for 3 years to be a Paramedic, then have to pay for the privilege. At a time when the cost of living crisis is hitting a lot of #NHS staff hard, for the #HCPC to raise the fee is shameful!
I ran a half marathon this past weekend. I feel quite honored to work as a cardiologist and use my training for the benefit of others, but I never expected those skills to be needed in this manner outside of work.
