Black Flag Medical

Small incident today where we were on hand to help a local farmer with a severe leg injury due to a mechanical blade related accident. A deep 10cm cut to the calf.

Ambulance crew arrived, did their work and loaded the patient for hospital.

However, they also left behind on the roadside a pile of bloody bandages and empty packaging.

Pretty disgusting mess really. Expected more from professional and trained ambulance crews.

@burnitdown That's what we thought too! We picked everything up from the roadside, but could only put it in a regular garbage bin.

@blackflagmedical Good work BFM! I hope the farmer is OK.

Its a shame they left you to clear up all that mess.
