TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The
London Ambulance Service takes seriously the foot and mouth crisis.
We are all familiar with the problems caused by “open”
microphones, especially when discussing sexual matters and whose turn it
is to green up. More
menacing is the dribble found at hospital from crews ringing loved ones
on their mobiles.
We
fully recognise that the phones on station are pants, and the handsets
found on some vehicles work only to prop open lift doors or to throw at
an assailant. However the use of unauthorised telecommunications
equipment on or near LAS vehicles is to stop. You know it is irradiating
your brain. You’ll end up doing more nights.
When
we return from another jolly we will roll out the barrel, er, sorry-
trial, of the new radios we intend to make personal issue (see below)
This should ensure you have no problem incinerating passing birds as you
argue with Control about yet another late job.
