At work we get a few paramedi...Just a random post,<br /><br />At work we get a few paramedics come through each day and I always seem to pay special attention to them and take time to ask them if they were starting/finishing their shift and if they were finishing how was their shift. <br /><br />So there was a paramedic that came through last week at about 6am and I asked how his shift had been and he was very pleased as he hadn't had a call in after midnight so he just spent his shift sleeping. <br /><br />I never realised how quiet nights can be for you all, or should I say how busy they can become.<br /><br />Keep up the good work :)<br /><br />JaphiaJaphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504398875537852323noreply@blogger.com
