A UK paramedic was disgusted after finding an abusive letter on his ambulance windscreen that a resident left behind as he was battling to save a girl's life.

The note was given to North East Ambulance Service worker Chris James Nixon, who attended the 999 call on Friday.

The resident complained that she couldn't get into her house as the ambulance had been blocking her driveway and that she was "appalled" by his behaviour.

However, Nixon revealed on social media that he had been busy inside the back of the ambulance, helping the girl who had suffered severe "trauma".

"While working hard to save a young girl's life in the back of the ambulance, received this from a fan who left it on our windscreen," the paramedic posted on Facebook along with a photo of the handwritten note.

"[It] was a bad trauma job as well. HART (Hazardous Area Response Team) was in the back with me.

The abusive letter reads: "I have taken pictures off you leaving ambulance in middle off road, when there is no need for. See pic.

"Your behaviour is appalling and you should be kept responsible for your actions as 'professional driver'.

"Resident who can't get to his house."

Many blasted the letter on social media, revealing their disgust at the resident's actions.

"So if their relative was gravely ill, they'd expect you to drive around the block to look for a parking space, potentially park a distance away from the patient, and delay their emergency, life-saving treatment?" one person asked.

Another wrote: "Wow! I can't believe these people actually exist! What an absolute d***!"

Last December, a paramedic in the North West Ambulance Service shared a picture of a abusive letter left on their ambulance in similar circumstances. The note branded the paramedics "a**eholes" and "d**kheads" for blocking them into their driveway in Manchester.
