    How does this work for the driver of the ambulance? If the patient was having a heart attack when this happened it's reasonably safe to assume he's in a bad way. Does the driver have to secure the doors then leave his mate in the road to rush the other guy to hospital or what? I can only assume thats a very hard choice to make (assuming it's his choice) either way I'd say he felt all the worse for it.

    Izzy I've seen plenty of these threads derailed because people feel the urge to discuss what should and should not be discussed on after hours. Frankly I'm fed up of it, with all due respect. There is such a thing as a time and a place. There is a feedback forum, you can PM any of the mods with your concerns or report any posts you take issue with. I'm just trying to say that this is not the time or place to have the discussion about what should and should not be fair game in AH. Again. Please PM me if you want to continue this discussion.

    If anyone has any questions drop me a private message and lets get back to the thread's topic. Thanks.

    Always a tragedy when someone in the business of helping others dies during it.

    this is such a terrible tragedy!! I know the man in question as he was a family friend and lived nearby and i can honestly say he was on the nicest people around!! So good natured and and a dedicated family man. This story is so tragic as he has such a young family he has six kids with the oldest only 14 and the youngest 4. He was such a well respected member of the community always involved in everything from football to the local drama group!! He had time for everybody and looked after his elderly parents who were in bad health i don't know how they will manage without him and his wife who is such a lovely woman is now left with 6 young kids ( who are the most well mannered children i have ever met all 6 of them )
    He was such a gent. He was travelling at high speed to dublin and was treating a patient that had suffered a heart attack when he leaned against the door when he fell out. I don't understand how this could happen as i can't believe that there is no light or alarm on the door to alert people that it is not closed properly its a disgrace
    Anyway a brilliant paramedic, excellent son and even better father is now no longer in our community!! It's our loss RIP
    I love this quote by Kahil Gibran

    ^^^^

    Exactly why 'funny' comments on this thread should not be tolerated.
    Sorry to hear vonnie10, he sounded like a true gent.

    RIP

    Devastating Accident.

    He died doing his job. And I respect the man for dying doing the job he saved so many other people doing.

    May he rest in peace.
