My husband had a cardiac arrest while asleep.
I called 999 & started CPR. I’d like to express my deepest thanks to the whole SAS team who helped. The operator that answered my call was kind, calm, reassuring, providing excellent guidance till the paramedic and critical care teams arrived. I’m forever grateful to them. Their professional skills & expertise during the very prolonged resuscitation led to my husband’s recovery. Their kindness to me during the hours this took was outstanding.
In this public space I have not named the team members and unfortunately, I do not know the call operators name. The time and place mentioned above will identify them. I wish this message to be conveyed to each of them individually. I would like to express particular thanks to the critical care team lead who made it possible for my husband to be transferred directly to the Golden Jubilee Hospital ICU which greatly improved his likelihood of survival.
We are so fortunate to have access to teams such as these fantastic professionals in the NHS when we most need them.
With sincerest thanks
