Tom. you are a hero, simple as that. I too have been in a similar semi-conscious state, suffering from septacemia, and muttering about not wanting to go to hospital as it meant leaving my children (who are grown up and were worrying about me being half dead). Luckily the nice London ambulance man was taking none of my nonsense whatsoever, told me I was not being left to die as it meant too much paperwork for him (!), and he was taking me in. That nice London ambulance man saved my life. I am very grateful for that, and extremely glad he didn't listen to my semi conscious warblings. Tom you did the right thing, you know that, we know that. Anyone who says anything else is just a troll and ignore them! Little white lies rarely kill anyone, but in this case they saved a man's life. Another one you can chalk up. Well done :-)
