Bertie,
Nice one.
All I know is, that we came into the lives of hundreds of families in Cornwall during my time there and they were determined never to let us go.
Did we really save the life of that baby that was choking and had turned blue, had stopped breathing and was 30 mins from the nearest hospital?
Or the boy that had drowned in a swimming pool, was resuscitated and in ITU within 6 mins?
That guy pulled from a crumpled car with a ruptured spleen during a blizzard that prevented an ambulance from attending.....
I don't know for sure, but we thought we had and so did the families and the registrars and the ITU nurses and that's the reason it has been publicly funded since 1987.
God bless all who sail in her these day's...
