Ambulance Service Staff Facing An Investigation – Why ?
Because they let their hair down. Because they let off steam. Because they were relaxing.
They were doing no more than any other person does in the down times between periods of high activity. They were certainly doing no wrong.
Well perhaps I will concede that they did do one thing wrong. They published their photos on Facebook.
They wanted to share their laughs with a wider audience and in so doing they managed to alert the jobsworths up at HQ. As I have posted before Facebook is such a risky place to publish stuff. It can be a laugh but it is a doubled edged tool and for those who don’t have a sense of humour or perhaps have another agenda it provides a rich source of evidence to be used against an individual.
In this case some jobsworth at South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust has said: ‘They’re bringing the service into disrepute.’
Rubbish !!!
They are showing that they are human. These folks are quite often called to appalling incidents and certainly over the last few days have been under severe pressure to provide a service to the public over long hours in and in very difficult conditions. So come on cut them some slack.
I wonder, Who found out about this first. Was it South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust or was it The Mail ? Who dobbed who in ?
And once again the press have shown that they can bias a story such that the subject is in the wrong. With a slightly different slant this would have been a feel good article which would have put a smile on our faces.
