Hi - bit of a long time lurker, but was moved to leave a post by your comment on being thanked by only three people out of 40. When my son slipped on ice at school a couple of years ago and hurt his back and neck we were taken to hospital by a very friendly ambulance man. He saw us into the A&E which was very busy and frankly it was all a bit overwhelming. But I was so busy working out where I was supposed to be going and looking after said son that by the time I thought to turn round and thank our escort, he had disappeared. I've felt bad about this ever since, as he was so nice and brilliant at calming down a rather scared little boy. So if it's OK, I'd like to say thanks now to the brilliant man who took us in, and in advance to any other ambulance staff, should we be unlucky enough to be taken there again. We really didn't mean to be rude! PS Also thought you might like to know that after your post on the dangers of paracetemol a little while ago I sat all three kids down and told them to read it. I sincerely hope lesson learned! Thanks very much.
