I don't know about where you work but up here there is a feeling of:<BR/><BR/>"I don't want to be the Tech/Para who left the drunk at home who was really hvaing a heart attack"<BR/><BR/>So even though we're encouraged to use our 'clinical judgement' to decide if a patient should go, we take most of them in to fall off trolleys in A&E.<BR/><BR/>Love the blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-45681101348291302862008-04-09T12:24:00.000+00:002008-04-09T12:24:00.000+00:00Another wonderful post.

I ...Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. I really appreciate it. <BR/><BR/>I started this blog as a writing exercise, but it's had a number of unexpected spin-offs. One is that it helps me cope at work. If I have stressful jobs, I find it helps me stay objective if I'm actively looking for detail. If I'm really tired, and we get a late job that's bound to make us overrun, it helps wake me up if I think 'Well I wonder if this will be one to write up'. For some of the time I think it helps keep me sane. And then another great spin-off is the thought that there are people out there - way out there, in far away places - who are reading what I write and telling me what they think. It certainly is a motivator, feeling that you have an audience.<BR/><BR/>So thanks again!Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-42758882044086575132008-04-09T05:07:00.000+00:002008-04-09T05:07:00.000+00:00I love your stories about the people you run acros...I love your stories about the people you run across in the course of your work.
