My wife, son and I were visiting wonderful York last August from Ottawa, Canada, and unfortunately, while enjoying a fine local restaurant, our 16-year-old son had a serious nut allergy reaction to a chocolate biscuit atop a lovely Italian dessert. Our son was in an elevated state of discomfort and experienced real difficulty in breathing.
A call was made to the emergency medical service and within a couple of minutes, a big yellow York Hospital ambulance promptly arrived to render assistance. The two staff members in the ambulance could not have been more professional, springing into action immediately to administer an anti-histamine intravenously, and providing wonderfully compassionate comfort to our son. The ambulance crew then delivered us quickly to the emergency reception at York Hospital.
We would like to sincerely thank and publicly laud the fantastic people at the York Hospital, and in particular, the amazing ambulance crew, who are truly outstanding members of the NHS. The people of York can be proud that they have such
terrific people working for them.
Sincerely,
Doug Christensen
Ottawa
