I get why relatives are pillocks. No really I do. They want the best for their relative and they are so stressed and worried they end up fucking up the care I can give their relatives. Angry as it makes me I understand.
What I don't understand is why a next door fucking neighbour insists on getting in the way and telling me how to do my job. If I make a decision based on something clinical its because its what I'm trained to do and I have an understanding that backs the decision. As such if somebody is feeling faint and their systolic blood pressure is 90 I will lie them down.
This is for a simple reason. It makes it easier for the heart to pump blood (and therefore oxygen) to the brain. I do not expect to have to argue with a next door neighbour about why I will not sit them upright when they are feeling faint. I also do not expect to be told that I have to move them in a certain (and to be honest dangerous) way just because they don't think its neccesary for me to use the handling equipment I have on my ambulance.
I'd like to see the dozy cow drive from one end of the city to the other in rush hour in 20 mins. No I can't drive at 90mph the whole fucking way so it will take twenty minutes and frankly if it was any of the people who don't know the roads as well as I do it would have been more like 40.
Seriously I don't expect to be treated like I fiddle children in my spare time and I have a career in raping animals just because I am doing my job and doing it fucking properly. As such I don't expect someone with the clinical knowledge of a grapefruit to get in my way comprimising the safety and stability of my patient just because their favourite soap isn't on for a few hours.
I am guessing she was probably dropped down the stairs at some point and if not she should have been.
