At this festive time of year you would think "hey GrumpyAmbulanceDriver you must be cheerful? Even when you are no doubt working Christmas and New Years on normal pay?"
Well no.
BBC News has highlighted a new menace for the NHS.
The low life scum that do not see frontline emergency equipment as something that should be left for their family and friends but instead as a target for a quick buck.
Sat Navs are something I have heard of before and causes me massive frustration. For example last night I was over 60 miles away from my base station in an area I have never been to. I have literally no idea where anything is either patients or the route to the nearest A&E. I would like to hope that low life reprobates would realise that my ability to get to people in distress and transport them promptly to further help hinges on my ability to know where I am going and leave the equipment that tells me this information the fuck alone.
Unfortunately it appears that members of society with the intelligence of an average piece of geology lacks the moral compass of your average Nazi. These are exactly the sort of mammals that I would not wish to waste the soap from the jet wash on when cleaning the remains of their tracksuit covered corpse off the front of my van.
I trully would support a notion for donating their bodies to medical science. Unfortunately due to their stealing I don't think the NHS can afford to pay for any of the anaesthetics or poisons so medical students will just have to practice on live cadavers.
The noise should at least get them ready for an average weekend in A&E.

What gets me is when people go for the "high value" equipment like Zolls and respirators. Where are they planning on selling this stuff?
I heard a story the other day of a nurse who caught someone trying to wheel a portable x-ray out of the hospital. I mean, proper brain failure there. Even if he managed to walk it out of the hospital, and home without someone getting a wee bit suspicious, whatever did he think he was going to do with it?!
I guess the problem is slightly exaggerated by the fact that the NHS is so big, but still, the situation in which we work (big buildings open to the public, relatively easy to break into cars and vans, etc) does make it easy for opportunistic and career thieves. And it's self replenishing too - steal a satnav, and another one will appear in its place (or so it appears to the general public)
