It just so happens as this thread was getting started this morning that on the local ABC radio 666 there was a segment on paramedics and how the training and roles have changed over the years - this was ACT focused being local ABC. I have not had the personal pleasure of having to be helped, but have called the paramedics a few times on behalf of others and have always been impressed on how they handle stressful situations (at least stressful for those doing the calling).
And on a lighter note, I can see why Anthony is now our go to TV guy - Maryborough and now West Wylong - what next?? Guyrah???
