This would cost \u00a360, a sum of money that the couple couldn\u2019t afford to pay, and wouldn\u2019t be reimbursed for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauren said: \u201cI was unconscious, unresponsive, laying in my own sick and blood, but that wasn\u2019t a good enough reason for an ambulance? Then what is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearest ambulance to the couple\u2019s house was 22 miles away, and after much convincing, one arrived at her door 45 minutes later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was so angry when they told me to call a taxi,\u201d Tom said, \u201cIt\u2019s not an acceptable solution to suggest, with the way Lauren was.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe collapsed in the ambulance and was put on gas and air. Can you imagine what it would\u2019ve been like had we been in the back of a taxi?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this experience, Lauren has credited the individual ambulance workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CYMK-LAUREN-CUTOUT-AMBULANCE-STORY.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1055\" width=\"231\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CYMK-LAUREN-CUTOUT-AMBULANCE-STORY.png 500w, https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CYMK-LAUREN-CUTOUT-AMBULANCE-STORY-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CYMK-LAUREN-CUTOUT-AMBULANCE-STORY-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lauren Ring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cTom and I do sympathise with the paramedics, because they aren\u2019t valued enough and are stretched pretty thin. It\u2019s not them who are at fault, it\u2019s the system as a whole that\u2019s flawed\u2013 they are completely understaffed and the whole thing needs some serious evaluation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI get why they\u2019re striking, but it is worry \u2013 if I\u2019m waiting 45 minutes when they\u2019re not on strike, what\u2019s going to happen the days that they are?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, emergency cover has to be provided under trade union law, meaning not all paramedics, call handlers and support workers will strike at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambulance emergency calls have different severity categories, with cardiac arrests and severe allergic reactions ranking at the top as \u201clife threatening\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spoke to a training paramedic, who passed the test enabling to drive ambulances, last year. She doesn\u2019t wish to be named, as her opinion on the strikes doesn\u2019t conform to the majority view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI agree that a pay rise is needed in line with the cost-of-living increase, especially as what we do is worthy of more money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, once we are striking, more lives are put at risk due to so many ambulances being off the road. I don\u2019t feel that innocent people should suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nathan Roberts is studying paramedic science at Canterbury Christ Church University, in Kent. He feels the strikes have been long \u201coverdue\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cAll NHS workers are underpaid for the amount of hours [they work] and increasing pressures presented to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIncreasing hospital waiting times at accident and emergency is the main cause [of the strikes]. We are unable to do our job as we are stuck at A&amp;E for hours with patients, so I feel that the strikes are working together with nurses to ensure something changes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Unite General Secretary, Sharon Graham spoke to Nick Robinson in the Political Thinking podcast. She said staff were \u201cfighting for the NHS\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNobody wants lives to be lost,\u201d she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More strikes
