Scism crying doesn't help, it's actually looked upon as a weakness

Just following suite.

Poor SJA crew that got called out to check a ladys "blood pressure"..i wonder if she used "chest pain" in her call...to get an ambulance.

Mustve been busy this morning, had a car v wall out the front off mine about 1:30am (notorious bad intersection) only minor injuries, was slightly insulted when even before giving a hand over the attending officer goes "you dont work for alas do ya"....



and had to laugh at the towie who was trying to convince the owner to get his vehicle towed home before the police arrived to save a d/d charge.

A bit like the IGA poster's saying we support your local community with the pictures of the melbourne FF...then again IGA have been fundraising just recently for the BFS, so credit to them.

This is a copy of the email I sent to ABC.

I thought I'd write to enquire as to why a "WA local" page about a person working for St John Ambulance (SJA) features an ambulance not from SJA? From the looks of it the ambulance featured seems to be from another state altogether.

They also got one of the surnames wrong too.....

At least an SJA ambo pic is up now.

Haha good work. I expect that they were afraid of being exposed on MediaWatch.

I'd have nominated them.

anyone see the writeup on SJA in the paper the other day. From what ive been told their investigating 2 particular jobs in which were attended as a P1
and transferred on a one but the patients in question werent deemed as p1 patients. SJA being accused of revenue raising? Did anyone read this and confirm? Apparently the complaints are being made by the paramedics themselves. If this is true then good on them for doing so.
