Area Ambulance crew deserve medal

I am writing to express my deepest appreciation to the Area Ambulance crew.

I am a 75-year-old and fell in my garage. My friends found me and called 911. I was so cold from the cement floor. My back and neck were killing me. I was bit up with bugs because I had been on the floor for an hour.

Along came the ambulance group of angels from heaven. I wanted to stay at home, but with so much pain they advised me to be checked out at the hospital. I felt their strong compassion and love - such comfort for my fear of a broken back. Obviously, I drove them nuts, I kept whining about how much further they had to go. They never once told me to shut up. They said 8 blocks, 4 blocks, etc., so thank you, Area Ambulance employees. You deserve a Medal of Honor. May God bless you all.

The same praise goes to the Mercy Medical Center Emergency Room. They treated me like a queen. Once a person has been treated by the Mercy touch you become a much better person. That also applies to the Area Ambulance company.
