In Praise of our Emergency Services

My Mother-in-law had an episode yesterday morning and was unconscious for just over a minute. My wife phoned the doctor and before she had put the phone down a Paramedic was knocking at the door. He came in with his equipment to run some tests and before he had finished there came another knock at the door and an Ambulance crew had arrived. See picture.

This is our National Health Service at its best and I would like to acknowledge it. She was taken to Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry where they were able to monitor her overnight. We picked her up earlier this evening and she is now back with us and seems fine. Thank God for our dedicated Emergency Services.
