We had a very scary experience at home today when my husband choke on a bite of fruit. The response of 999 and shortly after the ambulance service and the hospital A&E was fantastic. These teams saved my husbnd's life. They stayed with me on the phone, two ambulances came while I was talked through how to help him. They did the ECG, gave him some oxigen to help his breathing, took him to Derby Royal Hospital for all checks and procedures they required, even when he felt a lot better. The team in Derby Royal Hospital was incredibly reasuring, they acted in a great professional manner and within two hours we were back home with all checks, X-rays, blood tests and other essential tests done. I can't express the gratitude and tremendous thankfulness to all teams. Thank you guys , you are doing the best job in the world! I still can't believe all this happened. Wish you all success and happiness for the future.
Kindest regards - my husband can live his second life now.
"Thank you for your amazing response and service..."
