Cannot for the life of me figure out triangular bandages. All views are mine and mine alone.

@anaesthetic_spr @gordonm1les Equally - whilst we have a good scope, and many PRE HOSPITAL skills/ knowledge. I’m not foolish enough to think I know more, or by doing 2 more years of education I can work as a doctor. If I wanted that, I’d go to medical school. But alas I cannot afford this due to reproducing.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@anaesthetic_spr @gordonm1les It’s a shame. As a paramedic I thought of ACP as a career choice. But I don’t want to replace doctors. I honestly thought the job role would be to help doctors, with just a few extra skills to aid this. I’m now put off doing it. I don’t want to replace doctors.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@MedRegoncall1 Yes but not advanced. Not an ACP/PA. Bog standard paramedic that is happy not believing I know medicine.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@MedRegoncall1 Anecdotally and with bias I wouldn’t vote for any of them.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@steve_paramedic @EEAST_OpSupport @renault_uk @Acetech_Global @ant_brett @EastEnglandAmb It’s personalised, but overall not a great reception. I personally find them very uncomfortable to drive and work in. Sluggish. They do the job though.

@coldplayaccess Shame the gates aren’t open yet in this heat.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

#coldplaybudapest queues are building. The sun is out 🤣 bring water! Get down here now not at 5 if standing.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@Dr_Done_ Basic life support is… desirable 😭this suggests that a lack of knowing any life support is still employable 😭

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@suppycaitlin Disappointed, this is horrible content. Disgusting behaviour.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@madmedicalman @retrocoldplay Team medic I believe.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@madflavor just finished the book uncle Joey. Loved it. Really hit all the feels. The ups, the downs. The perseverance. You shouldn't be here today, yet here you are 👏👏

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@Xeon4f145d96s1 I wouldn't mind have a doctor locum with me on a big yellow box, think it would be a laugh, and a good learning opportunity, hopefully for all :)

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@Dr_Done_ @The_SCPs I can out unique skill you both, I can drive a yellow box on blue lights, all whilst maintaining a god like complex of my registration, and I don't even crash as I think about it 😏

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@PCTomVanDerWee I misread this because it's late. For a second I genuinely thought you were issuing a warning for a bald baby.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

Must say I'm exceptionally proud of the apprentice paramedic I was with last night, first major RTC and they (cont) https://t.co/jUu2snaNol

@RoshanaMN I left the union as soon as they recommended we take it and stopped the strikes.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@unisontheunion @UNISONOurNHS Typical "not an easy decision to make" I'd be rich if I had a £1 for every time I heard that.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

On reflection I've deleted my original tweet. However, I do think it's disheartening to hear that a large private ambulance provider went bust, one who reassured their staff constantly that they were financially sound, and this has put lots of jobs at risk. I hope statements come

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@Norwich_PCP @MediCareEMS I think this is primarily on RRG, as I've said to buy a company and keep 1 employee is better than it going bust and everyone loosing their job. Rapid were so silent about this, that everything has come from disgruntled staff.

[Simon 🚑 @simon2k110]

@TobyKing29 @Ambo_Matt to be fair I have no gripe against working conditions etc... but I think how this has been handled is a bit infuriating for the industry
