'Look Pooh, the cherries come in pairs, thats one for you and one for me',
said Piglet.    'Oh' said Bruce, 'forgotten again'..
BT>MG> Nope :)
BT> Yet an anagram of your name is `I'm A Hog, Gerry!' (:-o
Oh dear :)
BT>MG> I didn't start this thread, merely contributed. :)
BT> Then you're guilty by association, young man! >;-)
Fine by me :)
BT>MG> I look through the messages, if the titles look interesting, then I go
BT>MG> ahead and read them.
BT> You damn crazy fool! Next, you'll be telling us you sometimes go to bed
BT> without a hot milky drink and stay up `til after eleven at weekends, you
BT> radical type, you!.
I don't do bed on Saturday nights :)
BT>MG> Nope, but I am interested in the developments, being a bit of a
BT>MG> scientist. I watch the occasional documentary on things that are
BT>MG> related to EMS, but there aren't many..
BT> A `bit' of a scientist?. Which bit exactly?. The bottle-end glasses or
BT> the white coat?. ("Groan!"-Ed) If you lived in the UK you'd be spoilt for
I'm doing an A-level in Physics.
BT> choice. Its an `armchair ghoul' paradise with `fly on the wall
BT> documentaries', `life-saving reenactments' and `Casualty-soaps' in
BT> carefree abundance. In Britain - we have an expression for such
BT> trivialising overexposure to such sensitive subject matter . It is called
BT> "kicking the arse out of it".
Ok, whatever you want to call it.. :)
BT>MG> I don't subscribe to any magazines however, for one thing, I wouldn't
BT>MG> have time to read them.
BT> Right. Well, in that case I will keep this short to let you get back to
BT> your (ahem) `scientific experiments'. Oo-er missus!.

Ah yes, thankyou :)
BT>MG> What I do have, however, is a lot of stress :(
BT> Try meditation. My mate did. "Well", I said to him. "At least its better
BT> than sitting around doing nothing".
LOL :)
BT>MG> Not sure if this is actually covered by EMS, but what about the
BT>MG> response times of ambulances? Are there any ideas as to how to cut
BT>MG> down on these times?
BT> Here in the UK we have NHS Charter government guidelines of 14 mins for
BT> urban area 999 calls and 19mins for suburban/country-fied areas. Not
BT> exactly taxing ATM-but the idea is that we aim for a sub-eight minute
BT> response time for high-priority calls in the near future. However, with
BT> limited funds and staff levels this is a somewhat ambitious project.
I can guess. I think this sort of think will have to wait until Labour get 
ut
of government again, because they enjoy increasing the national debt :(
BT> Vehicle standbys in strategic locations and prioritising of emergencies
BT> is the only way forward-but that in itself is no assurance. There is a
BT> finite amount that can be done with a finite amount of resources to hand.
That's the way with everything. I think a 'revolutionary development' will be
required to move us along any further :(
BT>BT>>MG> ... Pretend to spank me - I'm a pseudo-masochist!
BT>MG> Erk! I didn't know I had any taglines like that! I better get rid of
BT>MG> that.
BT> Yeeesss. They *all* say that, sir. Now, if you would like to accompany us
BT> to the station-and bring the equipment with you if you would.
BT> Now go and tell your people what you have heard today ... or something.
Titter.. :)
I'll leave you to your worries :)
