Bagg& Marsk Part 2

More Capers

Two hours into their shift, which started at 0900 Bagg and Marsk are not impressed to be interupted during a game of "Moanopoly" (see link) Surely it cant be their turn to go out?  Apparently it is. Bagg wonders why they ever let women join the job, especially tall slim ones.

Anyway the call is only chest pain. No mention of leg injuries, so the punter will walk out. Plenty of time for Marsk to finish his ciggie, and have a quick top up.  Its only wine today as Bagg is driving.

Strangers to LAS may not know that there are some fantastic printers on station, and details of the call emerge to be dealt with by the eager crews. The AS1 even gives an approximation of the location in the big grid.

The patient is in fact suspended, something not unknown in our heroes careers. Better get on with it. Bagg goes back to the vehicle to retrieve the Pulse De-nebuliser or something. He had seen someone use it once on a Post Proficiency course.

Later in resus,   bagg would have to explain the long delay awaiting a trolly at St. Pernicias hospital. As you can see, it was  CHOKKA ! In fact, Marsk was at his girlfriends flat nearby. Unlike emergency calls it is rumoured that he doesnt need an hour. every time!

A transfer call awaits our lads. It is just not fair. and they point out that there is a nearer and cleaner vehicle. In bay 1 outside resus. Look.!

The duty manager is having none of it and the boys are given details of the transfer to UCH. Disgusted, and on principle they drive straight to the middle of the Ashdown Forest. Fond memories of the driving course.( Marsk had three attempts at it.)

 Australian readers may notice something strange about the new NHS logo that is appearing everywhere.

The trouble with these new ambulances is you cant fix them like you used to, and Marsk discovers that it will take a bit more than the usual "hammer and Jif" technique.  The cyclist will take a bit of fixing too.

Plenty of time on station then, with a LA52, LA 65, and RTA forms to fill out. This will take hours. Three in fact, and during this time, eleven cups of tea have been drunk. Neither Bagg nor Marsk have made a "CUPPA" for anyone else since we had the sadly missed boiler suits. Not so popular with the women in the service. "my point exactly " mutters Bagg.

Bowing to mounting pressure to either do a call, or at least make the tea, Zulu 201 decide that the best option involved the kitchen. It may be a while before they are asked to make the tea again. Funny that !

It is half term in the capital, and the sun is shining, so Z201 ask for a service run to LLun Polly. Granted, "one on RT at all times..." Bagg and Marsk need a break: They work SO hard.

1648 Hrs. A quick stop at the news agent, for 40 Silk cut, Loaded, and some sweets for the park. Well it is half term!

This is in direct breach of Bagg's bail conditions. Evidently there had been a misunderstanding about some photo booth shinanigins.. and even Marsk never saw the photos...

To avoid any interruptions the radio goes off, and will remain off until 1900hrs.

Holiday booked, "must arrange some sickness for July" thinks Bagg.  All that tea is working its way through. His crewmate is losing a fiver from the tea fund on a horse which is older than Zulu 233. Unable to wait, bagg shows his appreciation and respect for the PTS contract grabbing private sector .

1902 hrs, radio back on, "X-ray after   our service run, and started to return. Good night".  Radio back off.  Red pen out. Sorted.
