h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now we're on to "Junior Helpers". It'll be interesting to see what form the NEWEST new help group takes, and how long it lasts.

For your information, St John Ambulance do more than give someone a polo mint, infact, we do everything the Emergency service paramedics do.GET YOUR FACT RIGHT FIRST!


I am so sorry sir, I have bit my lip for to long.

(we do everything the Emergency service paramedics do)
NOT if they want to stay out of jail, they don't.

Not with standing the fast track, (A first degree in paramedical studies, completed in conjunction with the ambulance services,)

There are three stages to become an Emergency service paramedic.

1. (Ambulance care assistants) work within the Patient Transfer Service (PTS) and drive routine, non-emergency patients to appointments. You'd be trained extensively in BASIC life support skills, first aid and patient care.

2. (Ambulance technicians) work alongside paramedics responding to 999 calls. You'd be deciding on the movement of patients and administering pre-hospital treatment where necessary.

3. Ambulance paramedics are experienced ambulance technicians with additional training in advanced accident and emergency life-support procedures such as cardiac monitoring/defibrillation, administration of drugs and intravenous infusion.

A paramedic can, for example, cannulate or inject into a vein without a doctor's permission.

Unauthorised administration of a prescribed drug/s and/or life-support procedures at the scene of an accident in civilian environment is a criminal offence, carrying a prison sentence of up to 6 years.

Impersonating a member of the medical profession is also, carrying a prison sentence of up to 3 years.

Well, Junior seems to have started yet another 'new unofficial help group' according to his current version of his user page - the 'Junior help group'

It might be worth to note that Junior has unsubscribed from all his conversations but two (at the moment) including those conversations that he started at newcomers' pages welcoming them - if those newcomers have any questions, they won't get any answer - does that ring a bell somehow from previous researcher IDs?

Seems a bit harsh if you're trying to save someone's life? Are you saying that, if you don't have a degree in paramedicine () you shouldn't give CPR?

Just in the last few minutes, it's changed to "UNofficial h2g2 Porter". Truly amazing.

Latest update:

Junior has now changed his name to (UN)official h2g2 Porter, *and* has started yet another 'help group' which he will, no doubt, abandon just like the others... <./>A2247743</.>

You couldn't make it up!

Is there a in the house????

You guys seem to know more about medicine than my GP

i think this guy has been watching Catch Me If You Can too many times

"hi, my names Liam i'm a paramedic"
"hi, i'm Lee, i work for St Johns Ambulance"

He'll be claiming he's a pilot next

*waiting for jeremy beadle to jump out any minute*

Well I for one am waiting for a 'Collective Wine Waiter' to come along. Now that *would* be a group that I'd support

chin-chin

Might it not be a good idea to start an unofficial “trainee Angel group” , where the angels can help and advise a won-a-be guardian angels in the finer point of the groups excellent work. (Sort of apprentices)

You could, though.

Isn't it called Munchausen's Disease by proxy, or something similar?

That reply to post 247, obviously. Dang, you guys type quick

"waits to beat Jeremy Beadle into the ground with her "

Hi-ya reddyfreddy

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consists of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression is not a prescribed life-support procedures it’s basic first aid

Omnipresent, 42 - that's a very good idea - thank you!

Yeah, that's what that nurse had - Beverly Allet?

There was a guy with munchausen's who was driving along the motorway claiming the breaks on his lorry weren't working. There wasn't any problem at all. Remember him?

Some years ago I was in the lift with Jeremy Beadle in the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool. A right miserable face he had on him as I recall.

Who said the BBC cant create great comedy, I see a great sit-com been written from the posts in this thread, Liam/lee/John/Ww2 expert/ paramedic.this guys only 17 from what i have read, he's lived a great life alread. will be the star but no doubt hell run off after the first few episodes.Do you think im being to sarcastic here?

One more thing, he’s changed his name by dipole to John allegedly. Nope sorry I got that wrong, john as he is now know as is not in-fact Liam but they both have a plaster cast on their wrist. So how can it possibly be Liam lee. I got a great idea. Shall we post to flickers page (his mother) and ask her?
