An example of the knock on effect is this morning a woman was rescued from a fire in East London. She had 40% burns and smoke inhalation. The ambulance crew and the HEMS (helicopter from the London Hospital) were arguing. The HEMS did not want to take her as she would block a bed and need a ventilator and that that she would not survive. They wanted to make her comfortable with drugs but let her die.
The ambulance crew won in the end so they did take her. Obviously none of the the ambulance and fire crews are comfortable with such events but these are the decisions someone will have to take. I guess the Doctor from HEMS felt that is the decision they would make in the current A&E department so why not now on the ground.
This is not form rumour but from 2 Firefighters who attended the fire. Tough times for our boys and girls on the frontline....Keep up the good work leebblue you all have a long way to go.
