A few days ago, an ambulance of a well-known charity organisation was going fast on the wrong side of the track. The driver, in a hurry, collided with a car and caused the death of a few family members on the spot. Instead of saving lives, as is his job, he did quite the contrary. This is not the first incident of this nature, many have already happened in the same manner.
A few days ago, two welfare trusts’ ambulances reached a place to save a patient. What happened there has already been published in the newspapers. The drivers of the ambulances tried to carry the patient in their very own ambulances but the driver of one ambulance carried the patient with the stretcher of the other’s. they then had a scuffle till they reached the hospital.
We appreciate these services as they are serving for humanity but there should be some rules for these welfares too as in foreign countries. They should be properly trained, disciplined and they should take care of their patients.
