My mum (who has multiple health issues) was playing with her granddaughter at the park. She landed wrong on her ankle and had to be taken to hospital for an X-ray. I drove up to the doors of the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy and struggled to work out how to get my mum transferred onto a wheelchair to get her inside. One of the paramedic offered to help. I couldn't have been more grateful.
On the way back out of A&E, after confirming her ankle was broken in two places, my mum was determined she was going to try transfer herself back into my car. She lost her balance but as of by magic the paramedics had already worked out she was having issues. Three of them swooped in to catch her and assist her to the car. They were like super heroes. When I needed them, they were there and I can thank them enough.
Their jobs must be difficult but I very much appreciated their input that day. I'd love them.to know how thankful I am that people like that are in the job.
