I shall, all being well still do some work for the ambulance service, it will be bank work although as yet I have not had any of the promised paperwork!
My last shift is Sunday, my first shift is Monday, no point hanging around!
To date I have delivered about 9 babies, okay then, one of those all we did was fish it out the toilet and wrap it in a towel, he was a whopping 9 pounder too!
Looking back over the last 10 years there have been some funny moments... being dragged backwards down a garden path by Tepic who was shouting "Time to go" being one of them, he had seen a crazy lady with a rather large kitchen knife running at us we tried to lock ourselves in the truck but the locks didnt work!!
Another time one of my crewmates was being seen back in the ambulance by a police man who managed to make her reverse into the dog handlers police car!!!
We have seen people cut their wrists with an open dog food tin, knives, razors and glass. I've had people OD on the most random tablets and some very sad times too, with Paediatric resuses, seriously ill babies and children, to the most shocking RTA's and sad family situations.
The one thing that has been the same all the way through is the support of my crewmates... the station I work out of is one in a million, it went from being sleepy hollow to one of the busiest in the service practically over night, but the staff who work there are the best. The station is small with just the one ambulance and a rota of twelve staff, although at the moment we only have ten. Most of the time we all get on and share the laughs and sadness between ourselves.
I will be sorry to go, and leave my crewmates. I just hope I haven't made the wrong decision!
