Just another Aussie Paramedic working in and living in amazing London. All thoughts/ideas are my own.

Just in case anyone is wondering. I actually love my job! @Ldn_Ambulance So many puppers! Everyday and at every opportunity 🐶

@Aidan_Baron When solo responding my habit has been to check and read aloud, put the vial/box down turn it around, stand up or change my position and then check again. Definitely not fool-proof but a way of rejigging the brain cells.

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

STOP GIVING PROPHYLACTIC ANTIEMETICS WITH YOUR PAIN MANAGEMENT.

Every medication has risks and side effects. Opioid administration should never be fast. Slow push. Slow flush. No nausea. /fin.

@ashleigh_finn @DrLouReynolds Hi! I would be extremely interested in this role 😊

[Tony Walker ASM @agwalker01]

Despite all they're experiencing in these difficult times, more than 5,500 ambos from across the nation have come together on Facebook to help each other out 🙏

@DrLouReynolds @Buck_Reed I was going to make the same comment! Disappointing

[Krystal Chapman @krysjanec]

From myself and I'm sure, many other women in ambulance - thank you for your response to 'that' article @AckerJoe @AmbulanceTas well said

@Dan_Phillips95 @KEBirdsall This really hit a nerve....

every woman knows it’s not all men. but we don’t know WHICH men. so we stay wary of ALL men. it’s not rocket science

This is trauma porn

It serves no purpose or public good.

It does not benefit patients - it only serves to turn their tragedy into a spectacle to generate likes and follows for a public institution which has no need for these things.

For shame.

@DrLindaDykes @jfksafk AND BUTTER! CRUCIAL!

[Krystal Chapman @krysjanec]

@Harrisonfw_ @RuthTownsendlaw @EburnM @Aidan_Baron Literally heard a story the other day about a experienced medic coaching a new paramedic through skills on a quote 'very' deceased patient...followed by the remark 'yeah but he is a such a nice guy'. No, no he is not.

[Krystal Chapman @krysjanec]

@martynichols9 @alan_batt @sjburbidge1 @LiamLangford I agree more training and support needs to be provided if continuing the current model of every paramedic being expected to mentor. But I will stand tall on the mountain that being a mentor should be a choice that is then supported and provided with training.

[Krystal Chapman @krysjanec]

Missed your voice after leaving back for Aus. Congratulations on retirement!

[London Ambulance Service @Ldn_Ambulance]

Thank you, Celia, for everything you did for #TeamLAS and for Londoners. We hope you are enjoying retirement!

[Krystal Chapman @krysjanec]

@LAS_NorthWest Yay! Glad to see this starting!

Nothing cures PPE fatigue like a suprise positive patient

[Liam Mearns @liam_mearns]

If you see an Ambulance driving slow with or without blue lights it may be because the patient is sore, treatment is on-going while standing and unrestrained, avoiding pot holes to prevent the vehicle rocking and ensuring the journey is comfortable as possible. 👍🏼🚑
