Woman dies as paramedic refuses to help

Interesting one this. If the paramedic really wasn't allowed to do CPR on her own, WTF was she doing in a fast response position? And if this was honestly the case, and she'd tried to help but the woman died anyway, would the family have complained because an untrained person did the CPR despite not being allowed to? Hard to tell til we hear more, at least this one wasn't in Stafford.

Emails spark woman's sacking.

Vicki Walker is calling for greater protection for white-collar workers after she was sacked because of 'confrontational' emails she had sent.
The Auckland accountant was sacked for sending "confrontational" emails with words in red, in bold and in capital letters.
DAMN RIGHT!!

ANYONE INCAPABLE OF OBSERVING SIMPLE ETIQUETTE WHEN COMMUNICATING AT A CORPORATE LEVEL DOESN'T DESERVE THE JOB.

SHE SHOULD NOT ONLY OF BEEN SACKED, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STERILISED AND HAD HER HANDS REMOVED.
PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE BITCH


(yes I did read the article)

*edit - glad you can edit these things after you hit post.

Sounds like there is much more to this. Not casting doubt on drinkers perceptions of things, but we do onnly have there opinion of what happened, which happened at a time when most of them had had some amount of alcohol and were emotionally charged.
But questions should be raised about how this paramedic ended up oputside a garage when she should of been going to a pub, why was a lone woman paramedic sent to a call at a pub if the ambulance service policy is lone women dont go in to such places alone, is it then appropriate to have women as lone first responders (not a sexist comment, but why employ someone to do a job they not allowed to do) and since when cant a paramedic do CPR on their own?

I think this story raises some disturbing questions and the freinds, family and regulars of this pub are rightly upset and entitiled to a full investigation of the incident. But it also shows how one sided views of a situation can be potentially damaging. In all of this we should remeber we issue stab vests to our emergency services for a reason, such as when they go in to a pub late at night with drunk emotionally charged customers expecting something that may be unreasonable and they have easy access to glasses or other weapons they may be carrying.

I've always found it odd that you have to jump through so many hoops in order to adopt a child, yet you can produce as many do-it-yourself ones as you like without any scrutiny whatsoever ( well, until it's far too late, anyway ). It's rather akin to being allowed to have a shotgun without a licence, as long as you made it yourself in the shed.

Blame the kids, they're little shits who need shooting. Surely if they were excluded from school they should have been reposessed? (or whatever the term is for living property nowadays).

Anyway, sod that. Just saw that Ealing council spent half a mil to clean up a virus. Would love to know what virus, and when it hit. Very rare that up to date AV software wouldn't find it, especially as it was physically transported in so not like they were attacked on launch. In fact, if all it did was spread and await further instructions (and block AV updates) I'm not really sure what damage it could have done? You manually get the updates from a clean laptop then stick them straight on the server, letting the AV server propogate the updates. Worse case you email all users and make them run the patch, where's the prob?

Anyone from Stafford Council, this could be you! Employ me on a little over national average wage and I'll make sure you're ok :strange:

F**k it, lets not blame anyone and write it off as "just one of those things..." send the poor little kids on their way with a pat on the head and a "don't do it again"....

In fact lets make this sort of thing legal... after all no one's to blame are they :rolleyes:

I'd be interested in what you think is the problem. I do see your point about blame blame blame but kids will only respond to their immediate environment, and this is almost always going to be the environment provided by the parents. So who do you blame? The parents who don’t care? The society which allows ANYONE to procreate regardless of their social standing, level of education, their ability to actually be a parent and to provide a loving and stable upbringing for their child, who never asked to be born in the first place.

I in no way excuse the children, they should know right from wrong and act upon that and frankly I’d love to see them locked up forever, as much as an example as a punishment. And as for the parents... name and shame!

British society is doomed, back to the master plan – earn as much money here as I can and then take it to another country with me before having absolutely nothing to do with the UK ever again, except perhaps to visit family and friends.

This country that you're going to ( Canada? ), do they stop dodgy people breeding? Just wondering why it is a better place?
