my father was not breathing well and he does have a heart problem and severe arthritis. He was very grey looking at clammy. The ambulance people arrived very quickly and were very polite and had a sense of humour which made it easier as my dad does like to joke even when seriously ill. They asked several questions about his health the tablets he takes and started taking blood pressure and checked thoroughly.
They were very calm asked ?'s first then started to work on him. this kept us all calm. As his daughter and it was an emergency I needed to bring my child along his granddaughter of 9 years old. The paramedics were so kind as when they had finished their assessment and treatment of him they allowed her to go into the ambulance to have a look as she loves the police and support services like firemen etc..
What a lovely friendly calming experience which helped to keep us all calm but they explained every thing as they were going . Fantastic people and service.
Don't understand how other people could be aggressive and rude to these people that help and save our lives.
Thank you for looking after my father and grandad says my daughter.
Thank you Thankyou you are very much appreciated.
