I called 111 for advice between 5 and 6 am today as my husband was suffering from sickness and diarrhea, so much so that he was delirious. The operator sent an ambulance out to check on my husband – the two people, Stuart and Zena, were absolutely superb. They spent at least an hour giving him a thorough check and phoned the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital to let them know he may need to be hospitalized as he was dehydrated. The hospital was concerned that he could be suffering from novo virus and potentially affect others in the hospital. Because of this Stuart said he would continue to monitor my husband’s blood pressure and if there was no improvement in that he would have to take him to hospital. In the end this is what they did.
Stuart and Zena were lovely, they made me feel so at ease while they took care of my husband.
