I am a elderly woman who was visiting Sydney from Queensland during the Christmas period. Around 12 noon on a Sunday, I became quite ill while visiting Watson’s Bay, which my husband and I had accessed via ferry. Upon advice from a first aid qualified member of the public, it was decided to call an ambulance as I was vomiting, dizzy and quite unwell.
An ambulance was dispatched and I was met and treated by Paramedics Madi and Mitch, who conveyed me to the Sydney Hospital, numerous tests were conducted in transit.
I would like my thanks conveyed to the team of Madi and Mitch, who treated me with compassion, respect and dignity and I am not sure of the outcome should they not have been so efficient.
The treatment afforded me at the Sydney Hospital was excellent. The doctors and nursing staff were caring and compassionate and I was given excellent treatment, diagnosed with food poisoning and was discharged some 7 hours later.
