If I had a pound for everytime I've heard that or said it, well I'd have quite a few pounds thats for sure! In a few of the jobs I've done in my life there have been experiences that are not what you'd call every day occurences. Some of these happened while I was working in an emergency admissions unit in the dim and distant past. Others during my long and interesting journey through services for adults with learning disabilities. During these years there have been many occasions when I have been reminiscing with colleagues/friends about things that we had experienced together, and we would often say at the end of these wanders down memory lane "we could write a book".
Following a bit of a reminisce this afternoon with an old mucker from my St John days I started thinking about writing some of it down. I love reading some of the stories on other peoples blogs, especially some of the UK EMS ones, so I thought I might share some of my own over the next few weeks and months.
Names will of course be changed to protect the innocent, and more importantly protect the guilty! To be fair some of the stories are that old I probably couldn't remember the names if my life depended on it! My ED days were about 17 or 18 years ago, so most of the patients I will recount stories about probably aren't even still around.
Please please feel free to comment, tell me what you think, if you want more etc? Tell me where you're from or how you ended up here? If you enjoy the stories tell your friends, if not tell me!
Right I'm off to make a list of stories I remember while they are in my head and think about which one to write first.
And if you're reading this from Guernsey, hello! Say Hi, I'd love to hear from you!
