This poor ambulance technician ...Absolute nonsense! This poor ambulance technician should never have been asked to respond as the ambulance service adheres to european working time regulations and has undisturbed mealbreaks.<br />There is certainly no difference between this and the fact general practitioners do not attend out of hours nowadays. <br />The fire brigade in London are currently striking on bonfire night so surely this is also morally wrong?!<br />The bottom line is you cannot sack this "scapegoat" for working to the rules of working time regulations. If he makes a clinical error or caused a road accident as he was fatigued would he also have been chastised.<br />This man is a probationer who should not have gone out by himself so people who do not know the full story should not judge this person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
