Default Re: Support your paramedics

I can't imagine how paramedics (and all emergency services for that matter) can cope with what they have to see and do for such long periods. I worked 12 hour shifts riding a desk (IT) and even that had pretty bad effects on me.

Maybe the exact reason they have to do such shifts is because they can't attract enough people for what they pay or don't want to employ more people. Out of all our public services these need to be properly resourced and have support for those workers too.
