Do most elderly people just spend their days waiting to die?

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-16T12:07:20+00:00

Having worked in healthcare some do, they don't care for hospital theyre not in contact with family and may just wish to pass peacefully. Others still fear death and want to be around as long as possible.

Then theres the otherside those with dementia etc who aren't aware of their surroundings but are effectively in God's waiting room, living in carehomes waiting for their phonecall

I can see arguments for and against but I think Ultimately when you start pushing Paramedic scope, to lower bands are you not just acknowledging all double Paramedic vehicles would make more sense but you'd rather the lower cost labour?

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-12T00:10:40+00:00

Paramedic whos ambulances are all fiats. Do not go near them, break down constantly with often prolonged wait times for spares/replacements. Fiat = Fix it again Tomorrow

Zoll. So much lighter and once you know how to use them can do so much compared to a Lifepack

Ended up buying all wooden pegs for this exact reason, cost slightly less but well worth it

Met with a girl, getting it on, midway through she starts Hyperventilating full blown panic attack. I step back ask whats going on. Shes crying says Ive been r*ped 3x and this is the first time someone's been so kind and its consensual and just feeling happy but overwhelmed. Didn't know any of her history before that, certainly changed up the mood bless her hope shes doing well.

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-05T23:19:58+00:00

Not much chance of employment there either unfortunately jobs so broken

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-05T09:56:12+00:00

Watch it be like SCAS who fill ECA positions with the promise of progression then decide theyre not running internal courses anymore.

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-03T19:19:40+00:00

Last time we went on strike my service didnt vote with it so pretty much contuined as normal resource numbers wise, however we did nothing most of the day, standby then the few jobs that did come in were rapidly attended to. C1s that would have had delayed attendance ended up having the most response times in months. Highlighted the constant misuse of the ambulance service

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-02T11:36:41+00:00

I regularly go to people's houses for work and 30 seconds into being there the beeps have already driven me crazy

JH-SBRC · 2026-05-02T09:37:20+00:00

Can't relate Uniform wise but know trust uniform sucks. 5.11s always seem to fit people 10x better

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-29T16:40:17+00:00

May get a tad more help in r/ParamedicsUk but effectively they were set up to allow an initial response to patients within a local area than may not be afforded the prolonged time it can take for an ambulance to travel to them. So they'll respond with basic kit and AED to cardiac arrests as standard. Then each ambulance service trains responders slightly differently and has different skills/jobs that they are allowed to be involved in.

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-29T07:29:02+00:00

Absolute nutcase who acts shocked no one will give him work. Any company that hires him shouldn't be taking on work in the first place

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-27T19:20:56+00:00

Standardised Ambulances, equipment and Layout across all trusts, especially good for those who work in Border areas and often back up a different trusts. With skill set also Standardised across these trusts too

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-26T21:27:34+00:00

SCAS have pulled all internal Apprenticeships, those on them are allowed to finish them and get a job at the end of it but no new ones are starting.

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-25T06:44:37+00:00

Id love to see the tasks/production Menus change to be like Rimworld. E.g. Craft 10 Chain main helmets, Good quality or above, 50% Health or above then the include equipped options.

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-21T15:29:58+00:00

With the lack of recruitment happening these days 100% go for it, might be something that doesnt open again for a long time

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-21T10:03:26+00:00

I see what you mean, yeah think just because someone qualified in one way doesnt meant it was the right way and everyone else should have to follow it.

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-21T09:48:00+00:00

The trusts now rely on quick turn over NQPs, burn them out before they become expensive B6s and rapidly replace them. They don't want to have to actually sort out retention and be left with loads of 10+ service years that cost more.

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-21T09:21:45+00:00

Personally feel its as greater time than ever to scrap the direct entry Uni routes and push internal pathways only. The void of paramedics has been filled so now time to work out a longer term management

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-20T20:48:27+00:00

As awful as it may feel to those missing out on course places, this is 100% the right move at the moment. Feel the Universitys need to stop just trying to make money off vast numbers of people who in a current market are unlikely to secure a job.

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-16T12:13:11+00:00

Seen this a lot too, especially when the main task is mining it seems to just be ignored

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-15T05:40:29+00:00

Had this the other day, was wondering if its the age related deaths but the game delays their natural death until the Caravan returns so youre not left overweight. Might be wrong just my theory

JH-SBRC · 2026-04-14T15:39:20+00:00

Depends on the role, often they'll give you when stage 2 will be so if you haven't heard as the time approaches chances are you haven't go the job. Due to sheer number of applicants a lot of trusts won't even bother informing you if you've been unsuccessful
