Tough at the sharp end!
I'm sitting on an offshore platform where I have had the dubious pleasure to spend Christmas. It's chucking it down with rain, pitch black and I'm about to go and do the evening shuttle. I was about to bemoan my lot when I read about the accident in CA. You don't know when you are well off do you?!
The demands made of our 24/7 EMS and SAR crews make an interesting subject for debate. When and how do we draw the line? Can it ever be drawn?
