Today, we went to a patient who was approaching the end of their life. We looked at all possible alternatives to hospital admission for this patient to make them comfortable as per their wishes. "When death is inevitable, the way of dying is important" 💚

Please don't be inconsiderate when parking your car, especially when there is an ambulance already parked there. We needed to deploy the ramp for patient care, causing us to move and block the road. This delayed their ongoing treatment while we moved the ambulance.
