The fine line between respect and rudeness #EmergencyBikers

There I was innocently watching Emergency Bikers. Why, you ask? Well for the simple reason that there is bugger all else to watch at 8 o'clock on the main channels on a Wednesday night. As usual the childish language of the para med bikers was making me peevish. Particularly their insistence on using 'pop' instead of take or put. As in; "I'm just going to pop a bandage on your arm and then pop you down the hospital"

I consider it very childish and utterly unnecessary as neither the use of take nor put needs any extra effort. Using it makes these paramedics sound as if they are treating their patients like children when they are at their most vulnerable.

Anyway I eventually got so peevish that I simply had to tweet about it using the hash tag #EmergencyBikers. Not with the intention of eliciting a response from the producers but simply to make a point. My tweet went like this:

There we go AGAIN! Just going to *pop* a bandage on your head. PUT, its PUT you morons! #EmergencyBikers

Okay so morons was a bit strong but I was extremely dismayed at the frequent use of 'pop'
Some hours later I found that I had a reply which went like this:

Think you should show a little more respect.

from somebody called Flymo and whom I now realise is one of the bikers featured on the show.
Well for his information, respect is something that people earn and do not NECESSARILY command it simply by the nature of their chosen profession. For example I respect the law but NOT necessariy individual policemen. They earn respect by their conduct.
What annoys me about the emergency bikers (and many others in the health professions) is the way they talk down to patients who are very vulnerable and may be unable or unwilling to complain about their treatment.

Of course it is not just the use of childish words as I've always been disturbed about the insistence on using first names. Again for the information of Flymo; a person's first name is for the use of intimate friends and relations. It's totally disrespectful to assume that because someone has fallen off their bicycle that they wish to be called by their first name.
The conversation should therefore go like this:
Biker: My name is Mark Flymo. What is yours?
Victim: John Smith.
Biker: Ok Mr Smith, I'm going to put a bandage on your head and then take you down to the hospital for a check up.

There isn't that easy and full of caring respect. Anything else is plain rudeness.
