Wall fall

Posted By Gemma Lou 35

"Wall fall"

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Emergency Ambulance

(as the patient),

Went to hang washing out in the back garden there are 2 stairs to get up to it. I caught the side of the stair and tripped tried to grab the fence but lost my footing tripped over the wall, landed on my big pot with bush in it and fell on to edge of slabs at patio. The pain was horrendous. The ambulance can approx 40 min later, but felt like a lifetime for me as I was on the cold ground. We blue lighted it to hospital. The ambulance staff were amazing saw I was handed over to emergency team, I am eternally grateful.
