ON Thursday of last week, on a trip out to Bournemouth with some friends, I suddenly had pressure on my chest, then felt very dizzy. A gentleman from the Bournemouth Borough Council stopped and called the paramedics. They duly arrived, took me into the ambulance, took my blood pressure, blood test and gave me an ECG. Fortunately my mishap was only a blip and I soon recovered and was able to be on my way.

I understand the ambulance is based near Cemetery Junction, so if any of those wonderful caring folk read this I would like to say ‘A Very, Very, Big Thank You’ for the loving care you gave me. You are worth your weight in gold.

A VERY GRATEFUL PATIENT
