"Saved my life then allowed me to help someone else"

About: Kettering General Hospital

Months ago I had taken an overdose and left myself on a field for my final hours. An ambulance was called after several hours and not only did the paramedic help me medically but also pyscilogically. I can't begin to explain the genuinely Kind and heartfelt words said to that morning. I can't mention names or gender but this morning I was walking home after a nightshift and found a young lad on the floor, in the street, head on pavment ...shivering and barley responsive. I of course called an ambulance and to my surprise there was the paramedic who had (in no exaggeration) saved my life!

I was over whelemed I wanted to hug this person but instead let them know I was doing well. I am so thankful that the univerase gave me this opportunity. I never got a chance to tell them how lucky i feel that I was able to meet this person on both occasions. You have an absolute golden star working for you and I wouldn't have been there to help that young lad today if it wasn't for them helping me in my dark days... i hope they see this and know I will always remember what they done for me.

It's funny how life turns things around putting them into perspective at just the right moment.

Keep up the incredible work and continue to inspire others to keep on keeping on.

Much love for not only this paramedic but all that are there day and night. You all do a fantastic job but only because of my experience I felt the need to right this review.
