The excrement has hit the oscillating device now!

The following is an unpaid political spray about recent events within the Ambulance Service of New South Wales. All information discussed is freely available in the media. These are my personal opinions and are bleedingly obvious not those of the services management.

A day, to a day and a half notice that Ambulance Rescue at eight full time accredited station will cease to operate as at 0800 hrs Thursday morning!

We knew that the service wanted to get rid of rescue, but by the way the circulars and notices read a meeting of the State Rescue Board yesterday agreed and the axe dropped over night with officers getting an SMS.

And what is the go with SMS,,,, the techno-challenged service that provides us with a data terminal that is no better than an early mobile phone screen and sms text.

Who's bright idea was that! obviously not a personnel communications expert?
You don't break-up with someone via sms.
You don't terminate someones job via sms.

This is going to get bloody I think.

The public must be re-assured that they will not be effected.
That goes against the very nature of this job we love.
We do it for the patients not management.

Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
