Paramedics saving man's life told not to block drive with ambulance
Emergency call paramedics were left shocked after a note was left on their ambulance scolding them for allegedly blocking a driveway.
West Midlands Ambulance Service tweeted pictures of the hand-written message, after responding to a call in Birmingham on Friday.
The note read: "You may be saving lives, but don't park your van in a stupid place and block my drive."
Sometimes we just don't know what to say. This was the note left on an ambulance today. At the time, the crew were helping a man who was extremely unwell after vomiting blood. They took him on blue lights to hospital where he was in a critical condition. #patientscomefirst ???????????? pic.twitter.com/RwCCVmZgrA
