There are no breaks in “Emergency Services.” No days off, no holidays, no hospital days and no compensatory time off. Twenty-four hours a day, people dialing the cherished number “03” must hear: “Call accepted, please wait, the team will be there.” Behind all of this stands one single person who is responsible for everything. And by the will of fate, right now, this person is you. You have no right to make mistakes, no right to emotions, no right to fatigue and irritation, no right to a painful condition. You only have duties that cannot be bypassed or ignored. It’s not easy.
But otherwise it can’t be.
