Manager treated paramedics unfairly

When I broke my ankle at a friend's birthday party, the paramedics were absolutely wonderful. They turned up quickly were very reassuring, and very sympathetic (unlike my cruel friends who did nothing but laugh at my misfortune). We arrived at a A&E, where the paramedics explained the situation to a colleague. As it was a relatively quiet day at the hospital, the paramedics waited with me - for what could have been no longer than five minutes - whilst another member of staff went to speak to a consultant. During this time, some hospital employee in a suit appeared, and proceeded to give the paramedics a complete dressing down, in quite an aggressive manager, about not getting straight back out on to the road. All the while, I was sitting in a wheelchair feeling quite uncomfortable, and somewhat embarrassed. I'm sure that the lady thought she was just doing her job, but I thought it was very unfair considering the brilliant job they had just done for me. I can see why morale might be low.. More scrubs, less suits!
