West Midlands Ambulance Service responded to an emergency call after a 42-year-old man collapsed on the floor and was vomiting blood. While they rushed to do their duties, an angry neighbor left a rather unpleasant note on their ambulance.

The patient had been at Livingstone House, a charity and rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol addicts, for three months. However, he was clear at the time of the incident and died in hospital from serious internal bleeding.

One of the paramedics who tried to save his life was Tasha Starkey, who posted a picture of the note on Twitter.

Paramedic Tasha Starkey was first to share an image of the offending note on Twitter on Friday afternoon in a post saying: ‘Crew alerted an extremely poorly patient to hospital… minimal on scene time, arrived at hospital to find this note… this patient was TIME-CRITICAL.’

The hand-written note on the windscreen read: ‘You may be saving lives, but don’t park your van in a stupid place and block my drive.’

West Midlands Ambulance Service found a hand-written note on the windscreen which read: ‘You may be saving lives, but don’t park your van in a stupid place and block my drive.’

John Hagans, a nurse consultant at the charity, said they were ‘disgusted’ by the note.
He said: ‘Words fail me. This person deserves to be shamed. If the person who wrote it had had any idea of what was going on inside, they would not have dared.

‘The resident collapsed in the home and was vomiting blood and our nurses and the ambulance crew battled extremely hard to save him.
‘His condition was so severe they could not move the ambulance for half an hour because they were fighting so hard to save him.
‘In that situation, no ambulance crew should have to worry about annoying others because of parking. It’s ridiculous.

‘One of our staff members who was trying to help them spotted the note when they brought him to the ambulance. We were left completely stunned.
‘What’s worse is that another driver was trapped in an alleyway that runs down the back of our property for over 40 minutes.
‘They did not say a word. They just respectfully sat in the car and waited, as you would hope anyone would do.’
He added: ‘I feel so sorry for the man’s family, knowing that the note was placed on the ambulance that tried to save their son. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.’

Residents on the street in the Small Heath area of Birmingham expressed their disgust at the note.
