Are we really professional?

As some of you may know I volunteer some of my time for a first aid organisation. 99.9% of the time I love it, the other 0.1% of the time I just want to leave.

It is an organisation full of hypocrisies, politics and a good ole' pile of bulls**t. I do not say this to put anyone off of joining or taking part but just like any organisation we have the; 'too many Chiefs and not enough Indians' syndrome. I am part of a division that has been run by the same person for over 10years. She is set in her ways and does not embrace change. She refuses to use technology as a form of communication which majorly stunts our progress into the 21st century!

We have a fantastic bunch of members, some of which are health care professionals (HCP's) or like myself are student HCP's. We spend a lot of time at events and enjoying each others company, sharing knowledge and having a laugh. It's about getting a job done and doing it efficiently. We are after all looking after REAL people with REAL problems.

Maybe it's because I know what damage can be done if you take your eye off the ball, or if your not equipped with the right training to treat such patients.

I have just written an email to the person in question, let's see what reaction I get. If I get one at all!
