Severe PV haemorrhage to the point of losing conciousness.

When I was 16 (and, no, it wasn't horse-drawn) with a suspected heart-attack. Turned out to be pleurisy.

Called for one - but my daughter was born before it got to us. (Was a bit little bit disappointed that I didn't get to go in it though.)

[anneasquith]

yes. escorting new born babies to hospital in glasgow/edinburgh in peak time traffic.

I'm curious now, SherrardK.

Does that mean that Mr Sherrard found himself acting as midwife, or was it truly a 'DIY' birth?

[welshlibranr]

Hey sher, you didn't miss much!...............on blues and twos, it's bumpy and the vehicles lurch on bends too!!...not comfy!...............

Oh, to answer the question:
Yes, I've accompanied a few kids (from the school where I was in charge of first aid) to A&E, with 'blues and twos'. They were all 'precautionary' (or, more likely, just because the ambulance crew got a 'buzz' out of dashing through the traffic) with no real risk of anything serious occurring. My main concern was usually that the head teacher was going to be furious that he'd got to cover for an absent member of staff!
