I have to smile gentlemen

This was a collapse not trauma. Dispatching an ambulance and a rapid response vehicle is the norm. What does a firefighter do when it is one patient who has collapsed? Why close roads / why send an aircraft? How does it improve outcome or compassion? If this is the response to every collapse, even if a bystander has the knowledge to diagnose a cardiac arrest, no wonder the NHS is in trouble. It has no benefit

However, if you read my post you will see that I was implying the journalism was OTT or the police were treating the public as rather gullible.

And my internet connection is from just up the road where I work with ambulance services......
