What this photo does show though, is that we can and do survive. Life is so unfair, but the world keeps on going, even whilst yours has crumbled. But somehow, we keep going, keep building, keep achieving. And that's the reality of life. 7/8

I'm really missing my identity within the Army. Working outside of the Army has been really interesting, but I've definitely struggled with figuring out this civvie life. So I'll throw it back to Afghanistan and our tour mascot, Bella, and remember that this is me.

I'm not jinxing anything, but it is very weird on the ambulance stations at the moment isn't it? I got back for a cup of tea today. We won't talk about the radio anxiety for a job that comes with that, but I think this is how the service was designed to function 😱

A day shift, followed by 4 night shifts. Late meal breaks, no meal breaks, late finishes, jobs where I've literally had to throw my entire ambulance at my patients and tinnitus from an air bag going off in my ear. This week can literally get in the sea.

There can surely be a system on emergency ambulances where we can scan the drugs that we need, straight onto our EPRFs, that books the drugs out, whilst simultaneously popping up with the JRCALC page with the dose relevant to our pt? Mental. Capacity.

The other day I was sat in the ambulance and noticed a man strolling across the other side of the car park. Same build, height and style as my dad. For a little bit, I let myself believe it was him. Strange how the mind clutches at anything to ease the pain just for a minute.
