A light thing re how the ambulance crew described the fear of heights. He described it as vertigo, which is a balance issue. It's a common mistake that people make. "Vertigo feels like you or everything around you is spinning - enough to affect your balance. It's more than just feeling dizzy. A vertigo attack can last from a few seconds to hours. If you have severe vertigo, it can last for many days or months." What the chap actually has is extreme acrophobia. Acro means height.
I've studied fire investigation and firefighting forensics and biomedical and histology histopathology cytology forensic pathology diagnostic medicine biomedical bone sciences ect I have a degree in electrical engineering and programming I've studied emergency medicine
An ambulance technician must expect to find themselves in all sorts of situations. I find it inconceivable that anyone afraid of heights be recruited into any emergency service.
I dont think its about that, I have been up on HP and ALP appliances and felt ok. I also have felt a bit iffy on the apex of a roof at the top of a ladder pitched to a chimney. I dont see that ambulance crews (as they were then) and also EMT crews should be vetted when they a good at what they do medically, I once worked with a retained lad who was scared of blood and would hang back if we dropped pagers again for Persons Reported.
Get a grip. There would be no one left in the emergency services if we applied your ruling! There are things a firefighter can do that I wouldn't dream of being able to handle and vice versa. You think the average firefighter can hold their nerve whilst resuscitating a baby? We all compliment each other. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and we all lean on each other as and when required. This ambulance technician in this video had no doubt saved many lives in his career and here you are, 25 years later deciding that he wasn't up to the job. Bloody disgusting comment!
I sincerely hope that young rigger got the commendation he richly deserves. He's the guy that saved him.
No idea how I came here ….amazing… I worked with Brian a few time for hants amb and he never said a word about this job ……awesome 🚑 ….

That must've been horrifying
I'm so glad he survived-Talk about lucky
It doesn't matter how experienced you are things can still go wrong.
