My wife accidentally overdosed on a Blood Pressure reducing medication causing her to collapse in the house, I called 999 and a wonderful Paramedic crew arrived very quickly. Not only did the Paramedics give wonderful, compassionate care to my wife, but they also cared for me as I suffer Anxiety - they ensured I was kept up to date with what they were doing (most of the time) and what would happen next. The only area I think could be improved slightly is that at one stage the ambulance had to pull over on the way to the hospital to try and get a drip into my wife - I was following the ambulance in my car - the driver got out the ambulance and entered the ambulance via the back door, on his way into the back door he saw me in the car but did not explain why the ambulance had stopped - when I saw the ambulance rocking my anxiety took over and I assumed the worst....as soon as the Paramedics heard me screaming outside the ambulance they immediately opened the back doors, invited me in and explained what was going on.
"excellent service from Dunoon Paramedics"
