Comments on: Ambulance service refuses to reinstate innocent paramedic http://paramedic.org.uk/2008/05/24/innocent-paramedic/ The Pre-hospital Care Professional Magazine Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:22:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Ed http://paramedic.org.uk/2008/05/24/innocent-paramedic/#comment-112 Ed Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:39:51 +0000 http://blog.paramedic.org.uk/?p=73#comment-112 Similarly to the paramedic in Melbourne, I was falsely accused of criminal charges by a drunk woman that could easily have cost my job. The woman also made false charges against two police officers who arrested her. Thankfully her claims were not even held seriously enough for the Crown Prosecution Service (I am in the UK) to investigate further, but I had many sleepless nights whilst they were considering it. As such I have great empathy for the paramedic in Melbourne. And my message for Peg Thatcher: what the hell are you talking about? The man has been cleared of all charges. He is INNOCENT. So take your self-righteous, do-gooder babble and stick it somewhere that would get you charged with buggery!

Rape appears to be hard to prove for everyone expect the person who has been raped. I applaud the Metropolitan Ambulance Service for doing the opposite of what is society's traditional response - in many cases it is the person who is raped that is villified and loses their job. I applaud that a new position is being taken by this organization. Maybe something new is beginning.
