Forensics Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Some doctors drive in things similar to this :Which has blue lights. So i suppose if a doctor passes his fast driving courses he's/she's allowed to drive rapid response cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festival Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I think that gps can only have green, NHS ambulance cars can have blue as they are emergency doctors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forensics Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yeah, it's like an A&E doctor. As for GPs i didn't know they ever responded to emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Those who drive the RRV's with blue lights tend to be paramedics more then doctors (GP's)The OC-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forensics Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't think GPs drive RRV just emergency doctors.GPs would drive things like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yuriclone Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yeah, I agree with everything said above. And about the whole breaking the speed limit thing, okay, I accept green lights are just there for warning, was going on something I'd heard a consultant bragging about. Sorry to confuse matters!

Dosedmonkey Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Okay, basically, what Yuri was saying on a day to day NHS take emergency calls, not St. Johns, he also said it was his opinion, not fact, so please don't take offense, doesn't matter what training you did, thats not going to help me make the mod, to be quite frank. Theres topics for that in off-topic.So I actually went and googled st. johns and read about them, they do have emergency and paramedic ability, but they are there to support the NHS, when they are over stretched, or can not reach a rural area quickly, they will be called upon, but can take over a hour to respond to major incidents with more then first aid equipment, for example the London Bombings, not that this makes it any less a important contribution, just not the first line of response.In November they were assisting in the floods in Cumbria, this is the most rescent major example, although they support at Football Games, and other events, where, more commonly minor accidents occur, however major injuries could still occur. I mean in first aid you do heart attacks and strokes, and they're not that minor to the person having it!http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/what-we-do.aspxAlso on a unrelated note, the importance of first aiders was pointed out to me when I did my advanced course, in the UK less then 2% of all people are first aid trained.

Forensics Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Does that mean you have decided not add St Johns ambulance to the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosedmonkey Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Secondly, there's been a bit of debate about St Johns Ambulance in the game. In my view, they should not be included.This game is all about emergencies, and St Johns do not normally deal with emergencies. They are only called to provide medical cover as a strictly last resort option, when medical services from neighbouring areas / districts are unavailable to cover, and in extreme civil contingencies (bombs, earthquakes etc etc). But rest assured, they are almost never called on (at least not in my area). The NHS has to have a list of backups, so that if (for example) there was a gas explosion at the ambulance depot and all ambulances were destroyed, they could still provide a service. The list includes nearby military formations, fire & rescue units and st johns, the local TA and cadets, but I don't think the modders will want the hassle of including all of these? Whilst this game does test some civil contingencies, its still not right to have every agency included on call. I mean, in a forest fire they might call in the forrestry comission, but the game devs are (in my opinion, quite rightly) unlikely to include every single emergency agency for every contingency.At this time, my opinion reflects Yuris, adding them to the game will not add anything, just work load. If theres any modern, unique units, such as mass casualty that St. Johns has, but other services don't and you can find photos for it, then I would think about putting them into the mod for more serious emergencies.EDIT... when we do have our new dispatch system coded into the mod, there would be a use for St. Johns though now I come to think of it.

Guest krystle Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 well, please don't kill me if i said something wrong.. :23_31_4: I was reading the Los Angeles Mod Manual, saw the Red Cross Hummer, and I was thinking why not to have vehicles of RC/SJA that transport some paramedics to the scene of MCI? Since they don't wanna add ambulance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forensics Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 You can just use a rapid response vehicle (RRV) There is already one in the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest krystle Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Grrrr... Just forget it what i said.. Unique?? The mod will be most unique one if they have Cycle Response Unit patrolling around the city (no matter NHS or SJA).. Well im just kidding edit: 2:03AM how bout medic bikes?? dey looks kewl..

Dosedmonkey Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 St Johns treatment center:Hmm, see thats like first aid treatment centre, not exactly a mass casualty unit/transport, its something i'll just be adding a lot later in the mod I guess, so much coding to do already.

Dosedmonkey Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 You get push bike parimedics in every busy pedestrainised town really, they have atleast one in Weymouth, as it also has the sea front area. But yes near impossible to put into this game engine with the tools currently available, well if you want moving legs anyway lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
