Received a e-mail from friend who's as a Paramedic in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
It appears that the paramedics have had enough of being attacked by groups and indivduals whilst trying to attend to patients, this has lead to several members becoming patients themselves. With turn outs times for the police being rather slow at times even on cat a calls [p1s], so hence the request being made.
Having been in a similar situation myself, I can truely understand where they are coming from.
Yeah been there plenty times myself.
I have been in the belief of Paramedics wearing stab proof or bullet resistant vests for quite a while. The taser idea wouldnt be such a bad idea either at least its a weapon that allows time for the crews to escape.
Funny that reminds me it was in the news a few months ago that while a person was being treated by SJA @ a rockingham nightclub, the POIs that had bashed the victim returned and proceeded to bash the patient with SJAs oxyviva!!!!
It's just as bad at the leedy hotel on Wednesday/Sat nights.... - thankfully don't intend on using my Mag light - yes mine is a 3 x D cell Mag light - but I have both security and the Drug/Alcohol WAPOL guys/girls to lend me a hand when i have to patch up people with injuries resulting from brawls etc...
3-Cell are good, though inst there some 4-cell ones? I thought mine was a 4-cell but cant be arsed checking. There real handy when you have them being a pain in the arse and cant be fuc*ked getting the asp out. Which is out and BAM!
Would make a mess if you did it on the knee caps though!

No - I was thinking about it... But don't think I'd get in - So, I guess I will continue with the VFAS (Volunteer First Aider with SJA) for this year - and get my Level 1 - Advanced First Aid.
I will strongly consider about getting in next year - But my sole aim is to become a Pilot for the Royal Flying Doctors, having all the experience in SJA will help me have the background.
