Seanmor,
Make sure you are on the mend, Northern Event won't be the same without you.
Reminds me of a ski trip a few years ago in Alpe d'Huez.
One of our group was 61. Very fit. Non smoker, very little alcohol. In really good shape. Absolute last person in the world (at that age) you would expect to have health issues.
He had an heart attack in the middle of the night at the hotel.
Now it takes a while to get down to the main roads from Alpe d'Huez and his life was only saved when the heart surgeon met the ambulance en route to the hospital and did emergency surgery in the back of the ambulance.
As PauBoy say, you were in the right place at the right time.
Hi Lee,
Thank you, I'll try not to do anything that might hinder me attendance at the Forum day mate,
That was a good result for your friend,
One of Netta's friends had just such a lucky break, she was going over to Ireland on the ferry and suffered a stroke fortunately for her sitting just a couple of rows away was a nurse from the stroke unit in Belfast Victoria Hospital who recognised her symptoms the nurse phoned ahead to the hospital and had the ambulance and surgery team waiting,
Fortunately she mad a full recovery as she was in the right place at the right time...!
