"They don't understand how much that meant"

I unfortunately needed to call 999. I wasn't keeping well, sore chest, felt dizzy and generally unwell and I am only 25 but my heart rate was all over the place I was slightly frightened as it wasn't normal for my age. Two paramedics turned up. They made me feel safe and that I was getting the best possible care - I think their names were Martin and David.

Through my whole life I have had a few ambulances but these pair are the BEST I've met. I was going to need transported to hospital but with four kids under the age of 7, and with a husband that couldn't get back from work, the ambulance crew were so helpful. They called my GP to see if I could be seen by them before rushing four young kids into A&E.

Luckily my GP agreed to see me so the paramedics helped me get all the children prepped and gave me a lift to the surgery and done handover with the doctor, the pair of them watched my children in the waiting room whilst I went in to see the doctor to save the kids causing me extra stress and so the doctor could hear my chest without screaming children. When I got out of the doctors office they both made sure I had everything I needed, paracetamol and my prescription. I couldn't thank those guys enough they don't understand how much that meant to me that they went out their way to help a young family struggling and a young mum with extreme anxiety.

I take my hat off to those guys - they deserve a medal and deserve to be recognised. Best experience I've ever had with any health professionals. May I also add how Martin made sure that I knew I could call an ambulance at any time if I get any worse which gave me so much reassurance that I didn't have to feel guilty. So thank you guys, keep up the hard work 😀
