Riding Easterly in Riverton heading for Raffles Canning Bridge at 5:45 am 31st December 2025.
The first thing that I remember was been loaded into an ambulance and been transported to Royal Perth Hospital Emergency. The 3 ladies of the Ambulance Service were so kind who kept we informed what they were doing & why. They stayed with me in the emergency dept until I was seen by a doctor
Quickly taken for XRays & scans. Result broken left eye socket, broken ribs, 6 stitches in my face & nose by a wonderful lady doctor from New Zealand. Stayed in the Emergency Department until a bed was found in the Trauma Ward. What lovely people looked after me including Polly & the most energetic nurse I have ever met treated me like a prize procession , especially providing me with a delicious warm blanket and ear plugs. Very attentive through the night.
Day shift Emma what a delight nothing was too much trouble, got me showered, washed all the stale blood away & tooth brush & paste & wipes. Almost Human again except for the very badly bruised face. Lovely people kept coming to see me including 2 very informative Police Officers and the Physiotherapist Department.
Pass all the tests You may go Home. Thank you one and all for your wonderful understanding and very professional help, doctors, nurses, catering, cleaners etc. GREAT JOB, I think you are all beautiful ,dedicated people and a huge credit to your profession Caring for other people. Wishing everyone of you a safe and peaceful 2026 & beyond.
