The miscarriage has just had me sobbing.
EDIT: just seen the outcome. Bloody hell.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Just watched the first episode (whilst on night shift on CCU!) and very much enjoyed it - as much as I think my job is nuts sometimes, I know I could never hack it as a paramedic, you guys deal with a whole other level of craziness.
Last one tonight.
It's been a really good series so far, I don't usually bother watching anything like this but I've been impressed with this one.
It's been tremendous I've barely criticisd it all and I'm normally do.
That last scene though that was a bit close to what I've gone through over the years, not ashamed to say it's taken a toll.
Tears once again.
Miscarriages were always the hardest calls to take 🙁 especially when had to tell the distraught mother to keep everything that was coming out of her
Some continuing exposure of frankly excellent people with a real vocation. Also, one real **** who was clearly in the wrong job.
The BBC seem to have done the business on the "fly on the wall" stuff recently - the Lifeboat was excellent as well
Also, one real **** who was clearly in the wrong job.
I may have swore at that bit.

I was quite curious to see how the guys who I knew that were in the series would come across and I've got to say that they were outstanding which was pretty much what I'd expect of them.
You always seem to get at least one person in these programmes though who comes across badly!
His colleagues silence spoke volumes.
Not really on topic but kibd of
The other day latish i got stuck behind an ambulance doing forty with the blues flashing but no sirens. Must have hit a top speed of 40mph (national speed limit) considered overtaking!
Now I'd have though they were carrying someone carefully but it was also leaving edinburgh heading towards moffat.
So... why?
His colleagues silence spoke volumes.
It bloody well did - well done her! I would have exploded!
They probably got stood down off a case and forgot to switch the lights off.
Tell you what they're bloody distracting if you are stuck behind them on a dark night.
Is stabbing people up the arse a thing? Bagging?
**** me.... Sad.
And a massive tax on alcohol....! The amount of pain and waste it causes is crazy....
Yup it causes massive blood loss alpin.
Shitting through a pipe into a bag for the rest of their lives.... 🙁
Which paramedic are we supposed to be angry with? The young guy with the quiff?
Slight lack of empathy with the homeless guy, but couldn't argue with his point... A failing of the system or someone who let go of the reigns....? Either way a waste of resources on a busy night.
"Is he still anxious?"
Ha ha ha
Alpin, I saw it more as a complete lack of ability to empathise and then an attempt to browbeat a colleague.
I missed it. What time/day is it on?
Hopefully not the same time as Portillo's trains? 8)
Tuesdays at 9pm but I think it's over now - catch up on iplayer.
Cheers 🙂

The reason for him going in was ridiculous another pathway would have been better but his lack of empathy towards him was uncalled for.
I do think he was acting up for the cameras a little..... Same goes for some of the folks in the control room taking calls and loudly repeating something odd that the caller has said, it's quite common in places I've worked before, basically the call taker is saying "ere have a listen to this".... it's a little passive aggressive (ok maybe not the correct term but it's early and I've only just woken up I'm struggling to brain properly)

Agreed but that makes it worse.
The ones in control I don't think they were, by repeating something it can trigger a response in person telling you something utterly ridiculous to stop and think. You see it used on here a lot.
The guy in control who had lost his twins and had dealt with the call from the parents of the baby in premature delivery. Unashamed to say it made me weep a little.
I wept at most of that part as it brought back so many memories I'd rather not have, my Mrs realised why I sometimes don't talk when I get home or why I sometimes get angry.
^^ sorry to hear that Drac.
Cheers but I'm fine it just comes through now and then.
It's back tomorrow night.
About time, I phoned ages ago.
Mod banter.
Classic.
Sorry Cougar but it's been really busy.
😆
Looking forward to this. Filmed, in part, at my place. Dodged the cameras (I'm not photogenic), but some good friends and colleagues feature. Should be excellent!
I see it's NW this time so will be interesting to see how to compares to the last series.
WM, not NW 😉
Oops! I new what I meant.
Baseball bats over a parking space?
**** me.
poor sod 🙁
The one that had me in bits was the paramedic who had had 2 healthy kids & then 1 who due to a bad birth was brain damaged, yet she still does what is one of the most demanding jobs I can think of and then offers support to a woman in a difficult birth.
The closing line of "Its a privilege to do this & then you finish your shift put your kit in your locker and pick your daughter up from brownies", just makes me so angry that these people are treated like account numbers by those in power.
I have a friend of many years standing who works for the WM trust. Staffing, target times and general conditions are very bad in the service. They were not brilliant to start with and have only got worse...
Given the hours worked, responsibility and situations they work in - it is a terrifically hard job. They do great work and just don't get appreciated or treated as they should - by the service or some of the public...
Edit. Sorry, realised I just repeated myself from my post of 10 months again...
