First job of the day

So, if we're due to start an A&E Support shift at 16:00, what time do you reckon we end up with our first job of the day?

As it was, it was at about 15:05, on the way to my colleagues house (so that he could pick up some uniform), about 30 miles from where we were due to be working...

We were merrily making our way to his house, when we get flagged down by a Paramedic responder who seems quite relieved to see us. He asks us, "Chaps, are you busy, and would you be able to help me transport this lass to hospital?!"

He'd only been on scene for half an hour with a collapse ?cause, and there had been absolutely no vehicles available to back him up. We agreed to help out (we couldn't really have said no, but...) and so me and the Paramedic transported the patient while my attendant drove his very nice RRV into hospital.

A good job to be honest, but nevertheless, we hadn't been expecting to be waved down!
