Marek my late husband was a Station Master when I first met him .Not a nice job picking up the pieces when someone jumps in front of a train .
People help the wheeles of this country going round in different ways .Some have to travel to work long distance in order that order books are full and thus keeping many people in employment
Different jobs different skills .Yes I live in the real world Marek .

I know a lot about the NHS Ambulances etc as Daughter worked for NHS for 23 years .
There is always another side to the story .

Well then don't do a Vic by keeping it to yourself and us guessing. Tell us what the other side of the story is..I am always willing to listen to reasoned arguments.

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter)

I like alot of others worked away from home and overseas,but I wanted to do it and before taking on the job I was told I would not get home alot and I was well paid to do it.
But with the ambulance crews that was not the case,when they went into the job it was all local stations and also some of the women have familys to look after by puting two or more hours on their working days means less time looking after the family.Marek has already pointed out about the facts to their jobs a and one which most would turn their backs to. They do a very good job and we the public owe them alot,and they should get better looked after then they do now.Post 81 and 82 I have no wish even to reply.

I expect we can all come up with instances we would rather not have seen. I know my husband saw several horrible sights as medical officer on the ferries, including someone crushed in the fire doors, others badly burnt and even a decapitation. Thankfully he did not have to deal with with those kinds of awful injuries and deaths on a daily basis, paramedics do and get a whole load of abuse at times.
They deserve better treatment than it looks like they might receive. As for Sue's comment about travel, I bet the pay packet made it well worth all that travel or they would not be able to afford it, as stated there are always two sides to any story.

Yes and you need the Managers to help create the wealth .If you donot create wealth in this country everthing else suffers ;as I stated people need employment and someone has to ensure there are the jobs .You cannot live on service industries all the time .straying of Vics subject a bit here .
Jan there is very little employment land in Dover for industry mostly service users . Lorry parks etc .You need the order books full so people can work .

susan
you have completely and utterly lost me here, this is a thread about the n.h.s. and has moved onto the problems of paramedics.
who are these wealth creating managers?

but where does the wealth creation come in?
n.h.s. managers spend wealth created by others, sometimes wisely, sometimes unwisely.
