    What a idiot!

    You wouldn't pull a trolley around tesco like that, never mind one with a sick, elderly person...

    Hopefully he lost his job for that!!!!

    Bit harsh. It shouldn't have happened and shows a lack of cop on the paramedics part.

    However, screaming for people to be sacked after a mistake is over the top.

    We had a surgeon here who took the wrong kidney out of a kid and he wasn't sacked and you want a guy sacked for toppling a stretcher.

    Lets get perspective on this.

    Disciplined.....yes
    Sacked....no

    Paulz is right,
    your not going to go your career without making a mistake, Our jobs exist because of human error.
    Ambulances crash patients get hurt,99.9% we all do our best
    try pull a carry chair on a slippery driveway with a 18st patient very easy to let fall.

    In that video his buddy wasn't holding onto the stretcher correctly.

    If i was at the risk of getting sacked for a minor accident ambulances wouldnt use blue lights, calls would take alot longer.
