Paramedic Criticised

I heard today on the news how a paramedic was criticised
for attending a man stabbed in a house, because the
knife-wielding assailant was still in the house - the
paramedic was told to wait for the police. The man died of
his wounds.

I was doing a lot of driving today so I heard a few phone-in
shows on Radio 5 and I couldn't believe the criticism the
poor paramedic and the ambulance service received. One
caller compared her to the Nazis because she was "just
following orders", as if she should put her life in danger.

I don't usually get mad but I couldn't believe the cretinous
cunts phoning up saying they were outraged because the
paramedics put their lives first - these Daily Mail reading
bastards choking over their tea and toast in the morning
made my blood boil. As if these paramedics, who are out
saving lives every fucking day, should go into a violent
situation where an armed lunatic is threatening more
violence.

I'd like to see how these pukes view the ambulance service
if they drop down of a heart attack or have an accident and
their bacon is saved by these valiant people who they are so
outraged with.

I've known several paramedics and from what they tell me, it
is a shit job. They spend a lot of time helping people who
don't need it while working horrible hours for shit wages.
And that's without the chance of being stabbed in the line
of work.

I would wager though, that the radio station you were
listening to was allowing those cretins on the air just to
get the response that you had to the show. Maybe you'd get
so mad you would stab somebody and then they would have more
material for tomorrow's phone-in show.

What else could you ask of someone. Was the paramedic
supposed to sneak in, quietly bandage the wounded man and
pull him out through the bathroom window? It wasn't like he
didn't care!!! NAZI!? That dosn't even make any sense.
