You guys are incredible.. the job you do is so amazing. Habe had to call ambulance twice this month.. my husband was taken to Lyell mac. A couple of weeks ago. He didn't have all the text book symptoms but you made the right call. MRI showed he had 3 strokes. . Was in hospital for 4 days, came home appearing well but then days later had same symptoms ... called ambulance again even though I was unsure if I needed to? But again you guys made the right call. . They treated it as code stroke and sure enough he'd had another stroke.. Ian is doing well now thanks to you. Many many thanks I wish i could remember the names of the ambo teams. First one was 2 girls. And I rode in front with one with sir name Schutlz and the second time team was a guy and girl.. we remember the name Dan and Amanda. I hope you know because we send our heartfelt appreciation for your help and good judgement. Best wishes Ian and Deanne Gow-Smith

Full marks to the Ambos who attended me recently. I had double bacterial pneumonia , asthma, plus a virus. They took all of 5 minutes to arrive and start working on me (couldn't breathe). They knew exactly what to do. regards Darrel (Craigmore)
