Several weeks ago I called an ambulance for a sick family member.
While the one Paramedic performed extensive testing, another one just stood watching.
I engaged him in conversation…
I learned that:
*North Shore Hospital is BREAKING Huge numbers of staff are away sick.
*Virtually every night the St Johns Ambulances are “ramped” (e.g. parked in the Ambulance bays, and used as extra “rooms and staff”….no room or staff to admit those brought in).
*The day before our conversation, 20 ambulances were scheduled to be on duty TWELVE of them were not operating due to sick staff.
*YES THEY KNOW….They are frequently running covid vaccinated young people to hospital with chest pain and suspected MYOCARDITIS.
*St Johns is in strife because new graduates join them and work 3 or 4 years, before dumping their Paramedic career and going overseas.
*He referred to our Health Care System as THIRD WORLD.
