BBC News -

An irate motorist spent about 30 minutes sounding his horn at an ambulance that was blocking his way while medics dealt with an emergency.

Paramedics were also "verbally abused" by the man in the altercation in Chesterfield on Tuesday, East Midlands Ambulance Service said.

The service said its security team had begun an investigation and could pass information on to the police.

It added: "Sometimes we will need to block driveways or roads so that we can access a patient experiencing a medical emergency.

"Please be patient with us, one day it could be you or your family member who needs our emergency help."

The location of the incident has not been disclosed due to patient confidentiality, the ambulance service said.

No matter how loudly you shout at our crews, how much you beep your horn, or how nasty the notes you leave on our windscreens, if we are treating a patient they will always come first.

(2/4) Unfortunately, while treating a patient in #Chesterfield today, one motorist chose to continuously honk their horn for around 30 minutes and then unleashed a barrage of verbal abuse on our ambulance crew when they returned to their vehicle.

(3/4) Sometimes we will need to block driveways or roads so that we can access a patient experiencing a medical emergency. Please be patient with us, one day it could be you or your family member who needs our emergency help.

(4/4) The details of this incident have now been passed on to our security team who will investigate further. We will not be releasing any additional details.
 
Hi!
Am I the only one who thinks that this sort of thing wouldn't have happened 20 years ago?
We really have become a nasty little nation.

People had more respect for others back then it never ceases to amaze me how selfish people have become.
