On 12/10/24 I needed to call an ambulance for my husband who woke up with agonising abdo pain. Unfortunately there was a 2 hour wait, but when the crew arrived, they couldn't have been more caring and understanding. They immediately assessed my husband and promptly administered pain relief. They reassured him and also myself. My husbands pain was excruciating but the crew reassured him they would do all they could and get him to hospital. The kindness and understanding was second to none. When we got to the hospital, my husband was escorted inside and booked in. On CT scan it showed he had a strangulated hernia which had compromised his bowel and later that day he had emergency surgery. Thank you so much.
