Re: 999 Ambulance.
I was just saying to my OH that today marks a year since I tripped on open toed slippers and tripped from the step, dislocating my shoulder and breaking a bone. I was in too much pain and had to wait for an ambulance to arrive and give me gas and air in order to go to hospital.Although it took a wee while for the ambulance to arrive, the treatment I received was wonderful and the doctor in A&E was able to reposition my shoulder which meant I only required physiotherapy to get back to normal.

Bloody hurt though and peeing blood is very frightening because I suspected I'd been exposed to Schistosomiasis (Bilharzia or Snail Fever) a few years earlier.

I’ve heard a number of cases,Cazz,where some people have had an ECG ,nothing showed up, then went on to have a heart attack.a few were fatal, very scary.
