A very important subject, thanks for that Jon. It's scandalous that any charity should be needed at all for veterans, doctors, nurses and paramedics. The number of homeless ex-forces folk on the streets in London if you get talking to them is staggering. I agree it would be good to know what % of this goes to the charity, perhaps it's on their website?

Yep PTSD is for life from what I've seen, and like so many other things goes unnoticed by others. I've had very poor/strange/badly handled notifications of family passing from doctors, paramedics and care home staff in the past. Looking back (in my experiences) I think they were all probably deeply affected and in shock themselves, these people need our support and a LOT more support from within the institutions in the first place. One paramedic who attended when a parent passed on told me he wished he could have a cigarette while we waited for the doctor but he wasn't allowed on duty (ffs!), so I insisted he did, the poor chap was shaking as badly as I was and probably risked a good telling off at least if he was caught/reported but blimey he needed it.

Sounds like me when I was working, but I never said that in front of any family or Pts. Big no no.. Heck our breaks were well lucky if we had one.

and some of the stuff I seen was well, not worth repeating. Those images will forever haunt me.

What are the 5 stars above this video for when we have the Like and reactions button???

It is a rating, I thought there was an option to view by ratings, but seems not to be. I will discuss with other members in the Premium Member Lounge to see if we should remove that. Thanks for noticing.
