CORNWALL, England — A paramedic received an angry note due to his parking spot while saving a patient.
Cornwall Live reported that an unidentified paramedic returned to his ambulance after two hours of treating a patient who suffered a possible allergic reaction to find a note that read “do not park here” on the windshield.

“On scene for just under two hours, then come back to find this, despite the ‘Ambulance Service First Responder’ sign clearly displayed in the window,” the paramedic said in a tweet. “Very disappointed.”

In another tweet, the paramedic said the crew was “also asked to move the ambulance whilst in the middle of treating the patient.”
“Why don’t people realize that we are there to help you, which sometimes means parking wherever necessary ,” the tweet continued. “We’re not here to cause an inconvenience!”
“This is becoming a common problem,” Twitter user Kelly Miller responded. “Some people really have no compassion. If it was one of their loved ones or even themselves who needed I’m sure they would think differently about sticking a note on the window screen of the one who is treating them.”
