I HAVE recently had to dial 111 when my 19-year-old son returned from work feeling unwell at 8pm. Due to his symptoms, a paramedic was called, then an ambulance. My son was taken and admitted to unit two at the University Hospital of North Durham.
Every member of NHS staff involved were exceptional and I cannot thank everyone involved enough.
My son is now home and very well after what was thought to be a stroke.
I have nothing but good to say about our GPs and NHS.
Donna Ferguson, Crook.
