An ambulance crew in Birmingham was greeted with an unwanted note after they tended to a patient in a serious condition. 

While staff from the West Midlands Ambulance Service were treating a man in the back of their vehicle, a neighbour took it upon themselves to complain about where they had parked. 

Casually placing a note under the window wiper of the ambulance, the individual claimed they had parked the van "in a stupid place" which was blocking their drive.

This completely thoughtless message was photographed by the paramedics and then later tweeted out with an explanation and the hashtag #patientscomefirst.

Many Twitter users have reacted with disgust and outrage to the note.
