Thanks you for helping my choking husband

"Thanks you for helping my choking husband"

About: Musgrove Park Hospital / Accident and emergency South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust

(as a relative),

I wanted to thank the 999 lady on the phone who talked me through saving my husband who choked on bacon and stopped breathing for goodness knows how long. Her instructions are the reason he is still with me.

So much gratitude too for the paramedic team who came as soon as they possibly could and monitored him then took him to Musgrove. I can't give enough praise to this arm of the NHS and I really hope that this thank you gets to the people who were so instrumental in helping to save him.

Many, many thanks.
