“Worrieing about matching underwear, lord, thats going a tad to far, just clean will do.”

“Erm.. has the world gone mad???
who gives a Sh%T?? as long as they get to us and keep us alive!
Women oftern worrie about matching underwear (i know the wife does!;O)
if theyre knocked over by a bus,but to be honest if ur knocked over by a bus and ur ..on the life or death side of things...well..to be honest whats it matter?? and when u come out of a coma etc..are you going to moan that the ambulance driver had mickey mouse on his/her socks?
id just want to shake their hand and say..Thank you!
these guys and girls work very hard and sometimes people dont think of how hard they work.
big respect to them and wear the socks that u want.

kind regards
afrom a guy wearing odd ones ;o)”

“As long as the ambulance gets to me in time and I get help, they can be dressed as Mickey Mouse in a burkha for all I care...”

“One or two of them knitted finger pupets wouldn't go a miss neather, and a pair of them big slippers with claws on....lol. Oh and a DVD of " In The Night Garden" on the heart moniter thing, soon get them distracted.”

“I have to say, I agree with the Ambulance Service.
If you wear a unifrom, then you ought to wear it correctly.
It matters not if the officer is competant or not. It is the perception it gives isn't it?
If a police officer came knocking at you door in a filthy dirty car, with her hair styled as though he were in a boy band, covered in tatoos and piercings, wearing a unifrom that wasn't ironed and bright pink socks - what would your first reaction be???!!!!!
I know what mine would be.Andy”

“How B****Y pathetic! Who actually gives a s**t what they wear on their feet. So if ever we have an emergency in our house and we need to call on their services have we to, first inspect their footwear and if they dont come up to spec, do we say sorry you cant touch me you're unproffesional! What a crock!
If ever I should need them I wouldnt care if they were stark ruddy naked as long as they saved me or mine!!!”

“No one could pay me enough to tell me what to wear or how to look”

“Warren, what a good idea - sock in the glove box - or even novelty gloves hey? If my child needed a paramedic yes, novelty socks would help, as a distraction strategy! Scott, - we are on the same wave length here mate. Joking aside - would an adult really be bothered though, what socks, pants, or vest the paramedic was wearing, I really don't think so!”

“Warren you state that the world does not revolve around kids, however, nor does it revolve around the self centred adult either. If the wonderful paramedics who attended to my daughter were wearing novelty socks she would have noticed or indeed have them pointed out to her as a distraction strategy by us. When a child is frightened it can be a sense of comfort to them. I am old enough to realise that in my hour of need something as simple as novelty socks would not detract from the wonderful service that they offer and would not condemn them for their 'unprofessionalism'.”

“we have to wear black socks in the hospital which i find pathetic...my socks dont affect the way i work.
managers ought to worry about patient care,not what im wearing on my feet!.
if they want us wear black they should provide us with them seeing as it is part of the uniform!!!!!!!!!!!1”
