Patrolling
the thin green line between the kebab shops and coronary
care units of our grubby capital ,Bagg & Marsk tell
it how it is.
In their world, epaulettes are for girls and ambulances
should only be used for patients when not required for
shopping, delivering carpets or loafing.
Bagg and Marsk have their thumbs on the pulse of London
Ambulance and they know how to survive, even if the
patient doesn't |
 The
shift starts "early" at 07:08:00 Hrs with Bagg
and Marsk conducting their usual thorough VDI (vehicle daily
inspection) Bagg has two sugars.
 The
phone rings at 07:14:04 Hrs
for a category A call in Copenhagen. Apparently Z201, early
shift (our heroes )are the nearest crew. The night crew are
still not back yet so Bagg walks across the yard to take his
pick of the available spare ambulances. Oh dear. what fleet
crisis? Unfortunately the night crew return with Bagg & Mask
still on station, which rather spoils plans for some extravagant
"red inkery." Our heroes race off to someone described
as "conscious, but not alert and a known cardiac
patient"
Bagg
& Mask find Timmy Pride, an offensive regular who nobody
wants to know and whose only cardiac history is that your heart
sinks when he is too drunk to be arrested. Still, no blades
today.
 Time
at hospital for a good few cups of tea, and a thorough quality
read before booking a big delay due to "waiting for
trollies, and assisting staff in resusc. "
18:45:42
Hrs and Bagg suggests that Marsk "greens up". Marsk is
not amused: "we'll only get another job!" So, problem
solved , Z201 returns to Z2 station. 19:00:00Hrs Marsk calls up
"x-ray on the hour & started to return."
 19:00:02
Hrs the garage door is shut.
19:47:00 Hrs Bagg and Marsk sign
off, in red ink. What a hard day they had........
The
persons and events described therein are purely fictional.
These stunts should not be tried at work. Especially by an

Go
to part 3
Bagg
and Marsk spend the odd five minutes here and there on station.
