Sending a telepathic pat on the back to the bystander, I am sure the StJA is a small enough world for the man to get hear of you’re appreciation, and you would hope the press officer was on the ball! (I.e. reading the right blogs!) It must be quite tough for people who stop to help and then know no more about the casualties condition (recovery or otherwise) once the ambulance doors have shut. I appreciate that crews often don’t know how the patient has faired once they are admitted to hospital, and that is part of the job; but for a member of the public who has stepped forward, out their comfort zone, to a pretty scary place and given it their best. It is the sort of stuff that rattles round in their heads long after the event. ‘Did I do OK, could I have done more?’
