Really scary sounding story about #ambulance provision in England today.

Closing 57 of ambulance stations?! :O

Why it's not actually as bad as you first think - a thread by a #paramedic. (1/15) In the 1970s/1980s, ambulance services were simple; every town had a station, with more ambulances than the town needs.

If you called 999, one of the crews would come, take you to hospital, and then go back to their station to clean, restock, and play pool til next call. (2/15)
