This ambulance base was unstaffed last night. An ambulance came from Roscrea I assume as the 999 operator said it was passing through templemore. Waited 40 minutes for an ambulance in Thurles last night and when they arrived they diagnosed it as anxiety and drove off.
Later transpired that I had dangerously low blood sugar if they had bothered their asses to even check it. I could have slipped into a coma. Extremely rude and arrogant paramedics. The same ambulance service that misdiagnosed a man in The Ragg who later went on to have a stroke hours later. Will be making an official complaint later today about these clowns.
C C Sorry to hear about your problem. Trust you are now O.K. Do you have a blood sugar monitor?
