It's nice to hear a thumbs up for the emergency services, and good to hear your wife is on the mend. Hope she is back home giving plenty of cheek (meaning fighting fit) soon.

Peter, glad to hear the missus is back on her feet.
We found last year when our daughter was sick that without exception the people who work in the hospitals, ambulance services and care flight were helpful, cheerful and devoted - especially the ones who work with kids. It's the lack of money and poor management that brings about the perceived problems. It must be very difficult for those people who do the job that they have been drawn to with so much going against them. After our experience last year, my wife and I have complete faith in the medical system. Things go wrong but it's not from want of trying."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Peter,
great outcome for your missus. Do agree what has been said about those who work in health and other emergency services. They work under difficult conditions and are often used as political handballs. It is just fantastic to once again realise how the human spirit triumphs.
Regards
Les

Glad to hear she is ok
Can I suggest you write a quick thankyou note/card to those in emergency and the ambo's.
Having worked in ED as a nurse for over 3 years I know we always really appreciated words of thanks as opposed to the words of abuse that we cop from the public on a more regular basis

I know how you feel, Peter. SWMBO is a type one diabetic. She lost the plot with her sugar levels while sleeping during a flu and started to have fits. What I quickly discovered was that all of the medical knowledge in our house was stored in the same mind that was fitting.
I dialled 000 and the emergency operator talked me towards the fridge and a bottle of SOLO, that I then poured slowly through her lips. By the time she'd had half a (spilled) glass the ambulance was coming through the gate.
What'd we do without them?

It was really great to hear Peter,that your wife has recovered from a potentially dangerous situation and that the Ambos were as usual efficient & prompt in their actions which probably helped to allay your concerns at the time.
Good to see that the medical & ambo staff get acknowledged for the sometimes trying circumstances in which they not only work but are also put under.
Recently I had Knee surgery and was up and ably about due to the staff being helpful and efficient.On a personal note I like to go back and thank them even if it's just with a note and a box of roses chocolates to let them know that I personally want to thank them.
CheersJohnno
