Ok in the last 8 months i've been carted off in an ambulance (Thanks Ber). I hate going in them because i know what i need - to go home and go to bed but one time nhs direct told me to ring for an ambulance and the other the iceland staff rang for it and i very much doubt they would have let me go home on the bus seeing as i wasnt with it. Both times i sat in the waiting room but i was lucky there wasnt much wrong with me just the after effects. Anyway when i went in at 3am - was home for 4.30am. The other was a saturday afternoon at 4.30 pm - was in a&e till 8.00pm. I was seen by a nurse but they like to make sure that im ok that there are no broken bones etc.

I cant thank the ambulance service enough for what they do. They looked after my mum and look after me. A & E is exactly the same they do a good job so what if i have to wait if someone else has come in. They do have to check to see if you are the walking wounded or lying wounded. If they need their help more urgent than what i need it then do it i can wait.
