Ambulance - Orchid Ambulance Services

Ambulance - Orchid Ambulance Services is based right out of the Orchid Medical Centre on H B Road New. We have our vehicles parked nearby, ready to go when someone calls. It is a bit of a tricky spot because the traffic on H B Road can be quite heavy, but our drivers know all the back ways to get around the neighborhood. We spend a lot of time waiting for the phone to ring and keeping the ambulances clean. It is not a glamorous job, and there is a lot of sitting around in the small office area we have in the corner of the centre. We have a couple of benches where the drivers rest and a kettle for making tea during the long shifts. The uniforms aren't always perfectly pressed, and the garage area is a bit dusty, but the engines are kept in good shape. We don't do a lot of fancy talking; we just listen for the location and head out as fast as the traffic allows. Sometimes we are out all night and other times it is a quiet afternoon. Being near the Plaza Cinema helps people give us directions when they are calling in a panic. It is a practical service and we just do our part to get people where they need to go without any fuss. It’s mostly about being ready when that call finally comes in.
