Trolley patient lauds staff battling against odds

I WOULD like to express my heartfelt thanks to, and admiration for, the emergency ambulance team and staff at Cork University Hospital.

My husband David and I had just arrived from England by ferry for a car rally and were staying in Youghal when I was suddenly taken very ill at 9.30pm with a suspected stroke.

My husband contacted the emergency services (with much help from Monica and Aidan Yeomans, our B&B hosts for the night).
