Customers who smell
Strictly speaking, they aren't customers, because I can't charge them (Dog knows I wish I could!), but the "patience" that dial 999 for my help on an ambo really outshine most of the posts so far...
Last week a drunken gay man was being assessed for injury when his equally drunken gay friend asked me "why don't you go back to murdering homosexuals?", to which I replied "because I'm on duty".
If the customer is always right does this mean that I should do as he suggests or not?

Please please please keep in mind that we may be "care prostitutes", but we really have turned up to help and we are only (sub)human.
We have feelings too, so don't abuse us, tell us how to do our jobs or waste our tucking fime!

Rant over.

Im guessing you're a paramedic or casualty ward doctor?
'Patience' threw me for a minute there. I assume you mean 'patients'?

^me too

Also, have I missed something: "why don't you go back to murdering homosexuals."

Are you a well renown murderer, or is there a history of paramedics killing homosexuals rather than treating them?

I don't get it.

not for a fucking big clock would i be a paramedic.
a mate of mine is one. he's been attacked, stabbed, beaten up, verbally abused hundreds of times, pissed/puked/shat on and called a useless cunt because a patient had died about half an hour before he was called and he couldn't revive them.
