[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 116324"] It was being a Paramedic, due to a UK rule of not being able to drive in Blue light conditions, there was one place that would use the dda, but it took months and months to get anything done with them, and time was not on my side. (you also have to pay £1000 + to get your C1 done, which is the catergory on your driving licence to drive the weight of an ambulance, people who had driving licences before 1991 i think have it already on their licences). I was not willing to waste that amount of money when i didn't know if i would be fit to do the job anyway! If i had wanted to go in the army it would have been a different story, as i would have found out when i was younger that i couldn't and thought of something else to do. But as i said in my other post, i had previously contacted a local ambulance service about if my diabetes would stop me and they said no, however now, since ive investigated it, i've found out that the ambulance service would not employ me because of my diabetes.
