This Paramedic Recieved An Incredibly Abusive Note From A Stranger While Trying To Save A Young Girls Life

Day and Night. Ying and Yang. Good and Bad… all of it is inevitable. For every bad thing that happens out there, 3 other good things will happen. And for every good deed that is done each day… there will be some miserable b*stard out there trying to ruin it.

And I’m afraid I have a story for you today which is a gleaming example of this theory.

Recently, a paramedic has had an awfully abusive note left on his own ambulance windscreen by a disgruntled resident who couldn’t get into their home as the paramedic fought to save a young girl’s life… some people, eh?

The North East Ambulance Service worker in question, whose name is Chris James Nixon, was shockingly lambasted by the disgruntled neighbor for his “appalling” behavior as he attended an emergency 999 call on Friday.

The currently unidentified person complained that they had been unable to get into their own home and warned that they had taken pictures of his parking (the sheer AUDACITY OF IT!), as the ambulance worked did his job in way of helping a young girl who was at the time suffering severe trauma.

The completely uncalled for  letter read: “I have toke pictures off you leaving ambulance in middle off road, when there is no need for. See pic. You behaviour is appealing and you should be kept responsible for you actions as ‘professional driver’. [sic]”

It was then signed off as: “Resident who can’t get to his house. [sic]”

ANn in case you’re wondering, no, those absolutely atrocious spelling and grammar mistakes are not me… that’s the handiwork of this poor excuse for a human being.

After uploading a picture of the offending note to social media, Chris, who  actually lives in Tynemouth, Tyne and Wear, England, UK wrote: “Whilst working hard to save a young girl’s life in the back of the ambulance… received this from a fan who left it on our windscreen!”

The incident wonderfully received widespread disgust on Facebook (and deservedly so!), with many people taking to the comment section in order to let out exactyl how they feel about the note… and I gotta tell you, it isn’t pretty. It isn’t pretty at all.

One Facebook user named Sarah Coyne asked the question that at that point, I’m pretty sure everybody was thinking by writing:

“So if their relative was gravely ill, they’d expect you to drive around the block to look for a parking space, potentially park a distance away from the patient, and delay their emergency, life-saving treatment? Should have left their name so we can do just that if the need ever arises…”

PREACH Sarah!

Daniel Jones also added: “So when they call for an ambulance, make sure you park legally, maybe pay and display. All the while they’re bleeding to death.”

In addition to this, many other people online complained about the freakin’ terrible spelling and grammar (see, it’snot just me whose a freakin’ stickler for that… spelling and grammar MATTERS people!!) in the note, with Chris Holmes hilariously writing: “The author could have made good use of their waiting time to research how to use the English language.”

For real though, I’m not sure what actually shocked me more… the contents of the note or the impressive way the author of the note completely and utterly butchered the English language.

The paramedic himself, Chris, only gave one response to the comments, and that was reportedly to write: “Was a bad trauma job as well. HART (Hazardous Area Response Team) was in the back with me.”

Clearly, he felt no need to comment on the actions of this selfish person, because at the end of the day he knew he was doing the most important thing; saving someone’s life.

Speaking out officially on the incident, a North East Ambulance Service spokesman told Deadline News:

“One of our ambulance crews was dealing with a life-threatening trauma on the back of an ambulance recently when a resident left a note with a complaint about the position of the vehicle. The crew was busy delivering life-saving treatment at the time, which was critical for their patient.”

“Whilst our teams make every effort to avoid obstructing the highway, there are occasions in the course of their work when a patient’s life might be at risk and every second of treatment is critical in their care. On those occasions, moving a vehicle may not be the highest priority for our staff. Understandably, the team concerned was surprised and disappointed to have received a note of complaint given what they were dealing with.”

“We appreciate that on this occasion a nearby driver did experience some inconvenience and would not have been aware of what was going on inside the ambulance but we rely on the support of members of the public at such times to be patient, bear with us and allow us to deliver critical life-saving treatment.”

A very measured response from them, if you ask me. I personally stand by the belief that no matter what the freakin’ inconvenience it may be to you… if you see an ambulance parked up somewhere, you better give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that they’re doing their damn job and doing something super important… and keep your mouth shut.

But how about you, folks? Do you think the mystery author of the notes actions were justified or were they 100%, completely, utterly, way out of line? Let me know in the comments! And don’t forget to share this with your friends and family so that they can weigh in on the debate too! AAx
