Development

You will have to excuse the lack of updates. I have spent the last seven weeks in training for my new role with the ambulance service. From today I am officially working for the ambulance service.

More importantly you will have to excuse this article because of the drink.

Anyway I have noticed throughout my training there is two schools of thought

Thought 1: Wow thats interesting, that could really help me in my treatment of patients and maybe even help me save somebodies life on day. Tell me more let me understand and develop myself into a better health care worker

Now I personally think I fall into this group

Thought 2: Do we need to know this for exam? Then why are you wasting my time with it? I don't want to know anything that I don't NEED to know

Now frankly fuck off and get another job. If that is your attitude do you really care about the people you are looking after. You NEVER know it all. You NEVER can learn too much when it comes to healthcare. If you haven't got the intellectual capacity or drive to constantly seek to better yourself and your practices then you are in the wrong profession.

Am I alone in this view? The simple fact of this matter is I wouldn't want some remedial class moron coming to pick up a member of my family when they have learnt the bare minimum to scrape by a classroom excercise.

Surely a crucial part of working in any job and being good at it, is constantly reevaluating your skills and techniques and critiquing yourself? Not whining like a slug rolling round in salt that it's wasting your time being told of stuff you don't need to know.

I wonder if these oxygen starved sheep would be satisfied if it was their parents on the receiving end of their ham fisted, illeducated practice.

Maybe I am wrong for thinking that bare minimum should never be enough for anybody to be satisfied.
