Let's hope your prison cell is eco-friendly. But if it gets too cold you could always ask the guard to put another bar on the window. Go to jail.

As a fellow emergency worker, it didn't sit well with me that you could go on strike. I hated it. But that's the only bargaining tool you had left. If you're employer eroded your working conditions, what did you have left? The simple answer is go and find another job, but without our emergency workers we're left in the ****. The trouble is, is when you need someone to help you out you don't realise when that time is! Everyone thinks that it's' someone else having a heart attack or trapped in a fire, until that moment it's all too easy to take for granted that you can dial 999 and get an emergency response at your door within five minutes. If you don't fight for your rights this will be eroded. ... if I was you mate ,
I would look to get out! It's not good for your mental health. **** em, let them sort it out, you're treated no better than Aldi cashiers.
You'd be better off driving the local bus. It's the same pay and you get to sleep in your bed every night! The pay off as with the paramedics is that you get to work all the weekends, New Years, Christmas's, and take an early pension. Now that's gone ... why bother?
Very interesting, despite more people living in London you were more likely to get killed in London under Boris Johnsons rule than Sadiq Khan (i haven't checked wikipedias sources which are at the bottom as it's harder to read).
Despite Khan turning London into Mogadishu it appears that's an improvement from Boris's Kabul

Its a weird one mate…..I know that sometimes I ****ing hate this job. My MH has suffered, the anxiety, the stress…all stuff that will probably send me to an early grave. Of course you be argued that is what they want….to die before I collect my NHS pension.
But at other times I ****ing love the job and would miss the buzz. Saving someone’s life is the best feeling you can have. You see the very best and the very worse of humanity and everything else inbetween.
Dunno if the undertakers job I’ve got planned will quite cut it somehow. Maybe in a few years time…..until then I’ll be on the picket line
If you have never zipped up body bags on a shift, you shouldn’t be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
If you have never watched a person suffocate to death from their own blood, you shouldn’t be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
If you have never had someone attempt to punch you in the face for trying to assess your patient, you shouldn’t be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
If you have never had someone beg you to not let them die, you shouldn’t be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
If you've never had to look into parents eyes or hold them while they crumble as you fight to keep their child alive, you shouldn't be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
If you have never told your family your shift was “fine” to spare them from what you saw that day, you shouldn’t be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
If you’ve never felt ribs breaking from doing CPR on someone’s family member, you shouldn’t be deciding how much Paramedics/EMTs make.
For years Paramedics/EMTs have been underpaid and undervalued and no one seemed to care.
Now that healthcare is on the brink of a collapse, everyone is concerned.
Paramedics/EMTs are leaving the profession at rapid rates.
Perhaps it’s from the years of getting 1% raises and barely being able to pay bills. Maybe it’s because Paramedics/EMTs are asked to do more and more with less.The reasons for this are honestly endless.
Let’s start caring about Paramedic/EMT retention, fair wages, safe staffing, etc.
Let’s not get to the point where you need a Paramedic/EMT and there isn’t one to spare.
I know some will hate us for taking action, but we will still attend the most serious of calls such as cardiac arrests, stabbings, shootings - but we won't be attending someone with a sore throat, a headache, D&V.

Oh mate, I've just woken up with a psychotic episode. I was fast asleep, and a memory came out of nowhere and woke me up. Now I can't get back to sleep. I've been retired nearly seven years! ****ing two thirty in the morning. I don't think I'd be looking at an undertaker's job after doing what you do. I'd suggest doing the most anodyne job you can think of.
I’m Cool with death now mate…..doesn’t scare me anymore. Just the sadness of leaving everyone behind at some point when it’s over. The undertakers job looks a good wind down…it’s either that or delivering frozen peas for Tesco.
Seems from what you say that your MH ain’t completely right. I don’t think it can ever be with the things we’ve seen. Like you it seems, certain memories can just come back into your head and trigger an “episode”…..PTSD ?
If you need a private chat you know where I am
Tonight I dealt with a lovely lady who was in her last months of life with bone cancer. She cried, my crewmate cried and I cried…….I hope the human kindness we showed her went someway to make her feel human and cared for again.
For the **** we put up with, probably not enough (I obviously exclude MPs from that list)
As expected, hints from the Prime Minister that new legislation will be brought in after the new year to curb the rights of British Workers to take legitimate industrial action. The government should be working WITH the unions, instead of having what seems to be a policy of conflict without negotiation.
As Bracknell said earlier....how any working person in this country can call them selves working class and Tory is beyond my comprehension.
One of the greatest acts of insurrection is the withdrawal of ones labour.....and it’s a right that every man or woman should have inferred upon them.
See you on the picket line comrades

I plan to fight the power as soon as I’m done with this spreadsheet.
