Thanks.
We did get a level of abuse but nothing like the stuff I hear from my police friends.
There's several times where I've been either kicked, spat on, punched, grappled with or all of the above. I even had to fight with some guy trying to nick our satnav from the cab whilst we were in back of the ambulance treating a patient.
I was once held "hostage" having been called to a spurious call to an unconscious male in his own home. I went in and his mother locked me in the room and she was armed with two kitchen knives threatening to "cut me up".
He wasn't unconscious and to this day I don't know what the motive was. It was quite scary. My radio panic button was used several times.
I have a lot of different memories, mostly good, some pretty bad, and many that I can smile about, knowing I did "something".
