I understand what your saying jambutty but if there is a serious case that needs several things checking i.e. fractures, breathing, blood loss, abdominal injuries all these are done but the specialist staff sometimes have to be called in from home.

So for a time the A&E staff have to look after the patients or get them transferred.

2 ambulances could well have had 2 serious cases.

We never know what we will find when called out, as sometime the information has not been gleaned from the person making the call, but we know that if it serious then a stand-by call to A&E will ensure that staff are aware of what we are bringing in..
