Fake UK Paramedic Had His Own Ambulance — (EMSResponder.com)

A man who dreamed of being a paramedic lived out his fantasy with his own ambulance, medical equipment, uniforms and fake qualifications.

But 22-year-old Ryan Nurse had little more knowledge than a first-aider, a court heard.

He worked as a care assistant at an old people's home where he told staff he was a qualified paramedic and boasted that he had been first on the scene at several high-profile incidents.

His lies were uncovered when a company boss became suspicious about claims made in a job application.

When police raided the house in Cowes, Isle of Wight, where he lived with his mother, they found uniforms, fake medical certificates, prescription-only medicine and equipment for invasive procedures.

Nurse pleaded guilty at Isle of Wight Crown Court to charges of deception and was given a six-month suspended jail sentence. Judge Andrew Barnett described him as a pathetic Walter Mitty character. "He lived in a make-believe world, but thankfully it did not result in anyone suffering from his treatment."

Wow. I've known some EMS squirrels in my time, but that takes the cake.

Seems like it would be easier just to go to school and become a real medic.

Did the ambulance have special plates to stop .338 rounds?

Where did he hide his rockets I wonder?

Reminds me of time's I've heard guys talking about their spec ops experiences in the Corps while on leave.
