Default Re: Don't ever hesitate to call an ambulance

I'm a paramedic down in Victoria, and with strokes if you can get to an appropriate hospital with a stroke centre within 4.5 hours you have a decent chance to try and break up the clot.

Unfortunately all to often elderly patients who are actually sick will tell me that they don't want to be a bother when they are generally the people that need us the most.

It sounds like your mum is very switched on and did exactly the right thing.
