But weekends we get a lot of people calling because they can't be bothered to go through the doctors out of hours service, so they just dial 999!!! i understand they get frustrated having to wait a couple of hours etc... but they've usually had the problem for days!! or even WEEKS!!!! and it can't beat the frustration we get knowing theres a heart attack or something else serious down the road, but we have to attend to this call!! and the other nearest ambulance is running from 30 mins away!!! |
