Ambulance side mirrors stolen!

**OTEP** · July 2nd, 2007 08:13 PM

It happened last night. I wasn't on duty. According to the doc on duty, they had an evening house call in Sta. Mesa. An elderly female with multiple fractures was having difficulty of breathing. So they (MD, RN, EMT) rush to the scene. When they were loading the patient into the ambulance [Hiace Grandia GL], BOTH SIDE MIRRORS WERE ALREADY GONE!!!

Wala na talagang pinipili ang mga magnanakaw ngayon.

The problem now is when we have an emergency medical response, the transport officer/EMT is having a difficult time maneuvering through traffic due to the lack of side mirrors. He cannot just look over his shoulder as most of the rear windows are painted over or have body graphics on them. The lack of mirrors is slowing down our response times. And we do not have the luxury of time. A few seconds lost can already mean the difference between life and death.

This morning, we participated in the NAIA anti-terror drill. I believe the 25 minutes from Makati Med to the 'crash site' (Macapagal Highway) could've been shortened if we had the benefit of side view mirrors.

Sana mamatay ang kumuha nun.

This is not new.

Pag nahuli sila, sasabihin nila na ginawa daw dahil mahirap lang sila.

Sana ma karma sila.

OT: Dito naman yung bagong internet cafe na wala pang dalawang buwan (1 month 1 week) ninakaw lahat yung PC nila (14-16 units) puro LCD monitor pa.

Naman! Wala nang pinili ang hin*yupak na yun!

Well, he'll get what he deserves. Buti na lang at magaling ang driver, nakakayanan pa rin imaneho yung Grandia. Kelan dadating ang requisition ng bagong mirrors?

IDIOTS!!! Kung pwede lang barilin yun mga iyan at pahirapan bago mamatay! :fire: Maiinit talaga dugo ko sa mga magnanakaw, especially sa mga holdapers! Kung di lang kasalan pumatay! Lord forgive me for I have sinned....

Sorry pero di ko maiwasan eh. I remembered one time I was in a taxi along J.Nakpil (on my way to CSB from Rob Place Ermita) I saw an actual hold-up in a passenger jeep! It all happened to fast that it took them less than a 2 mins. to get what they are after! (which is of course the valuables of the passengers.)
