Saw this on a different site and thought it might interest you http://www.amazon.co....im/?tag=hotukdeals-21

I may be wrong here but I seem to recall a paramedic on here once who had a blog....

[Prudie]

Hi sherrardk, what I find fascinating is clicking on the link goes to 'my' amazon homepage. Needs a techie to explain how. I've e-mailed it to OH and it opens on his page. Weird.

[Dris]

O yeah and I got shot down in flames for saying I thought it was in bad taste -remember it well !!!

[redcrx]

Did you dris?
Glad to see I'm not imagining things though

[anneasquith]

red i thought you said a dog !lol and couldnt see the problem.

[redcrx]

I suppose that would depend whether he took it to work with him, Annie lol

[Dris]

Yeah -only cos he just came on to advertise his blog and had his real name on it-I thought it would be poor taste for someone to chance upon what had really happened when their loved one bit the dust.
I think its one of the professions which should have an unwritten rule that you protect your patients and families feelings.

[sherrardk]

Sorry Red & Dris - don't remember a blog and haven't read any of the free thing, just thought Bobjugs might find it interesting.

[redcrx]

No need for any apologies, sherrarddk, before your time I would say.
Dris, at the time I didn't think much about it tbh, but having read things here recently I can totally understand why you felt like you had to speak out back then

[Dris]

sherradk -no problem at all. This book I should imagine has changed details and id's etc.
No this guy had his own personal blog giving a day by day blow by blow account of what happened on his shift and i objected to that.

[237SJ]

I can`t see the problem with it. As long as the author isn`t so specific as to identify people there`s nothing wrong with portraying their everyday life in a job. To be fair, I haven`t read the book so I don`t know how much of it could identify the patients so I don`t want to be shot down in flames.

[Dris]

I agree 237SJ totally-see my previous post.Are you Sandra Jo by any chance ?:)

[237SJ]

No is the answer to that. I have no Idea who Sandra Jo is

[Dris]

Cool -just thought i'd ask.She is a great ABer who bobs on and off :)

[Booldawg]

I remember my days as a retained firefighter in Hampshire. The below guy was a legendary anorak in the service. Surprised his site is still around tbh;

I've just text Bob and told him about this thread.

[bobjugs12]

Cheers sher. It looks like a good read and something i'd enjoy. Hopefully someone will treat me this christmas (hint hint)

[NoMercy]

You want me to treat you to a book that costs... NOTHING??

[annie0000]

given that it is free to download bob - even i am happy to treat you to that one!
