The persons comments allude to them being a paramedic and being a colleague. They seem to be pissed off that she's undermining their work. They've mentioned a few times about working with your colleagues and scare mongering that paramedics and advanced paramedics have skills and she's making out that unless there's a doctor there you're going to die and she's making them out to be useless

It's not the speed of the transport its getting a doctor on site so if a doc can get to the person and stabilise them theyve a better chamce of survival. so say if someone needs to be put to sleep you need a doctor to do that, it does save lives in the likes of a cardiac arrest or say a car accident where someone needs a procedure for collapsed lungs.

She just comes accross so rude and condescending, I'd imagine she rubs a lot of people up the wrong way. Surprised the hse hasn't told her to shut up yet

Advanced paramedics can perform needle decompression for "collapsed lung " Advanced paramedics can also do RSI . Cardiac arrest is run the very same pre hospital as it is in a resus room. So while I'm very much aware it's not the speed of the transport, people are falling for her speil about needing a Dr , 100% there will be a case where a blood transfusion may be needed during transport but that's far and few between.

Why is that ? Are pre hospital crews not capable of treating???????

I didn’t say pre hospital ‘are not capable’, I also didn’t say it’s a good thing to have a ‘doctor rather than the pre hospital crew’.

The inclusion of a skilled trauma consultant (particularly in rural parts of the country) is incredibly valuable to the team IMO. Advanced paramedics are awesome and some can work at consultant level with enough training. Ideal model is to have both work together.

The sister has deleted a lot of her comments on the posts. Probably a good move as engaging just gives energy to the page. Plus she came across as slightly cray-cray 🙈

I think as a member of the general public it frightens me that she's saying everyone dies coz a Dr isn't there.
A lot of these people are unsavable anyway. I find it strange she hasn't given more data or reasoning why. I only watched a few of her stories so she may have

Ah look there has to be some advantages otherwise why would other countries be doing it, but she's just comes accross so arrogant and full of her self importance so she's the wrong person to be fronting any group.
Rural areas could definitely do with have better access to emergency medical care
My dad had a cardiac arrest in a rural setting and it took 30 mins for a first responder to arrive with a defibrillator, then the nearest hospital was another 1 hour drive and they didn't have a specialised cardiac unit. Whole system is a shambles

It is but there is a system in place in Ireland. Due to Ireland being an island even landing a helicopter in places would be difficult

I'd be more concerned with her attitude to covid and not vaccinating her kids. She announced that publicly and I was livid. The government were really pushing the vaccine and I was pregnant and got it which I wasn't sure was the right thing. She's now going to these pollution asking for them to consider a new model of doing things, but how can we have confidence ( I'm sure she knows what she's talking about) when she's disobeyed rules in a global pandemic, that's what bothers me most.

It's the disadvantage of living in rural Ireland unfortunately, there can't be a base close to everyone , it's the same in Australia where I have a relative a Dr on the helicopter there for the last twenty years . The helicopter is deployed to cardiac arrests and major trauma where appropriate but the helicopter is all weather dependent too. I absolutely agree that having a multidisciplinary team is obviously golden standard but I think it's mind boggling to belittle the current evolving service we have here which is actually free for the public .
I can't say anything bad about the National ambulance service as I'm sure 99% of people who have dealt with them professionally or personally so would be of a similar opinion . 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I dont get why she hasn't gone in with the other doctors that are currently responding on a voluntary basis. There was a tv program about it a while ago. Why is she going alone with the proposal?

Whatever about the flying doctors situation specifically, the heath service here is absolutely dire. It’s not for the want of money, it’s a black hole of money. It’s honestly like a 3rd world country when you go into A&E. an 83 year old relative was waiting 5 hours in A&E this week for stitches to a head injury after a fall, in a major regional hospital. How is there no someone dedicated to taking care of such routine tasks as that, that can turnaround those patients and free up the trolleys that are on. It’s mind blowing.

100%, it could definitely be enhanced. I don't think anyone is blaming the ambulance services, they are doing their best 🤷‍♀️ I don't get all the hate.

How is it threatening though I dont get that?
She'd have to prove it was a threat to her marriage or something. Yes distressing but what would you get if u caught the person? Some weirdo in their mams boxroom on social welfare? The would be no gain and probably more would come out on her than the weirdo doing it
I think she should stop giving them airtime

Why should she accept it though and make it go away? I'm certainly no fan of hers but Jesus Christ if you have an issue with someone deal with it in the right way - setting up an anonymous Instagram page to slate her and call her names? That is not the behaviour of someone with any credibility, it's pathetic and cheap.
