Hello to everyone.

  Before I begin may I wish all of you wherever you are and whatever your beliefs a very Merry Christmas and a pleasant and event free New Year.
     I am a Paramedic/Firefighter working in the UK and have recently been asked to consider appearing in a  documentary series about the ambulance service speciffically dealing with concerns about the increase in calls, abuse of the service and out of hours GP service effects.
    A few months ago I would have been completely against this idea but recent reforms, behaviour of management and treatment by other health care professionals has made me consider the potential benefits of exposing certain ignored aspects of my service (including the appalling lack of professionalism, training and negligence by many Paramedics).
  I wonder if the list might offer any insights they have about the ethics and problems faced with this sort of media exposure especially when one considers the uncontrolable environment we work in. I would also appreciate any advice about how to deal with these "cutthroat" sensationalist media types! 
   In any event, thanks for your time and trouble and I hope to hear your responses.

  Yours with kindest regards

  Tug Crumpton
