As our regular readers, both inside and outside of the emergency
By doing this and by providing such a platform in the digital world, we hope that the general public can better understand the challenges which are faced by emergency services & NHS personnel who are doing a job that not many can do.
In particular, we share the stories, thoughts and blogs of our former colleagues who have been subjected to abuse (whether physical or verbal) in the optimistic hope that such attacks and that such abuse will become less frequent.
Whilst we know that we can never stop this
The message below was sent into us over the weekend by one of our readers who is currently serving in the emergency services:
“Thought you might like a small insightful post!
“I don’t know, but I felt very insightful writing it after just ‘one of those shifts’
“Here goes:
“Don’t shout at me, I’m here to help you! Calm down don’t call me names I’m trying to help YOU!
“I need your details to help YOU! The questions are there to rule out the worst possible case for YOU.
“To get the best and safest care for YOU!
“So when you are whinging that nothings as good as it could be, realise that the system in place in there for a reason and if you’d like to know why, just ask!
“Name calling, screaming and shouting won’t change that.
“I’ll still run around for you to get you the best possible care, I’ll understand your stress and pain.
“I do not take any pleasure in hearing about your pain.
“I do what I do, because I care.
“Do not abuse the few who give their all for you!”

Before you go...
We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.
