Story -

Staff at the Emergency Department of Mossend Hospital were put on alert to stand by for multiple trauma patients following a serious Road Traffic Collision (RTC). The motorway smash involving a minibus, HGV and car saw SAS Ambulance crews racing several patients to Hospital medics who waited outside for their arrival. NHS Lanarkside bosses made social media appeals to only attend A&E or dial 999 only for critical emergencies and suggested contacting NHS24 or attending Minor Injury Units (MIU). Sergeant Jock McCulloch of Strathclyde Roads Policing team said: “This collision happened at a busy time of day and resulted in the closure of the motorway for several hours to allow a full collision investigation to take place. We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. If you were driving in the area at the time and have dash cam footage, please contact Police on 101.”

 

A spokesperson from the Scottish Ambulance Service said: “At 1528hours today, Ambulance Control staff received multiple 999 calls regarding a serious RTC. A number of Ambulance resources were dispatched including Paramedic Response cars, Trauma Team and our Special Operations Response Team (SORT). Several patients were transported by road to nearby Hospitals.”

 

Witnesses claim to have seen and heard a male driver being breathalysed and told he had failed and was under arrest. Police sources refused to comment other than stating “Should criminality be established, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal (PF).”

 

Reality -

 

I found a new seller on that well known auction site and they make 3D printed figures in a variety of scales. I also took delivery of Vallejo paint - “basic skin tone”. All of my figures who required it have now been repainted into much more natural complexions than their previous pink. I’ve taken these pictures to display two new additions, both Doctors, one figure is a Surgeon (traditionally titled “Mr, Mrs, Ms” rather than Dr in Britain) wearing dark blue scrubs, a surgical face mask and hair cover and holding a clipboard. The second Doctor also holds a clipboard and wears blue scrubs, but also wears a white lab coat. Also featured in this shoot is my 1:76 scale model of a Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) Paramedic Response Unit (PRU). This model has previously been featured in my pictures, however with an incorrect Battenberg marking set. The Nissan 4x4 shown, which stands in for Hyundai and previously Honda 4x4 vehicles used by the real SAS, now has the correct larger Battenburg markings along with yellow reflective markings around the door pillars.
