After 30 years of service as a Paramedic I have amassed a large number of stories about my work.
Some funny, some sad, and some which will infuriate.
This programme is trying, and failing to get laughs from the buffoonery of the crews.
I know it is not a documentary and meant to be entertainment, but do the producers really have to make out every member of staff to be complete idiots & misfits?
I can assure you that no one exhibiting the behaviour of the lead characters would have gotten far in the Ambulance service.
There are enough funny happenings in the job to keep a decent comedy writer going for multiple seasons without making the dedicated crews of the NHS Ambulance Services seem like the cretins that this show does.
Did the writers actually approach any real staff, or was this just made up as they went along?
Not at all funny. Not at all a representation of what we do, even if it is dramatized.
Cringeworthy antics that bare no resemblance of what happens for real.
We do mess around, and play pranks on each other, but when doing a very difficult & demanding job we are 100% professional which this show does not respect.
A wasted opportunity.
Not even worthy of a 1/10 to be honest.
