Hello world!

Hello and welcome to my blog. After working for the Ambulance service for far too long, I have now decided to share my daily struggles as a control room Dispatcher with the world!

However, I am not brave (or is it stupid?) enough to use my name or place of work in this blog, so from this day on, I shall forever be known as Gwasdispatcher!

I have been working for the Ambulance service for many years now, and like some of you who will be reading this, I have seen and heard nearly everything there is to see and hear within the perils of frontline emergency care. But what keeps this job fresh, is that every now and then things happen that you are totally unprepared for.

These occurances can leave you sat in shock, or can make you laugh like a derranged axe murderer, thats why this job is a fanatastic one, you just never know what is going to happen from one minute to the next,  unless Mr Smith rings up with his chest pain again, or Mrs jones wants helping getting off the toilet, or if Mr davies needs his Catheter changing again, or if Mrs Brown is drunk as hell and wants to abuse us, or if old Dorris wants her toast cooked for her, or if the Police want us to go and look at someones cut finger because it looks a bit “dodgy”.

I will try and keep this site as updated as regularly as I can with my daily struggles, and maybe even bring a smile to someones face.

Adios for now!
