A Shropshire woman has given praise to the community hospital and quick-thinking neighbour who she believes saved her life just a day before she was due to cremate her husband.
Alison Pipe from Bridgnorth and neighbour Annie Sutton
Mrs Pipe, from Greenfields Crescent in Bridgnorth, said:"It was the day before my husband's funeral. I'd been salting the drive and I remember walking along the side of the house when my legs suddenly went from under me and I fell and hit my head on a cornerstone." "I must have been a sight because Annie Sutton, who lives across the road, shoved me straight into her car and took me to the Bridgnorth Community Hospital. Her calm and swift action possibly saved me. I don't remember any of it until I woke up with around 10 doctors and nurses surrounding me."
"The ambulance took around an hour to arrive as it had to come from Oswestry and I was rushed to Russells Hall with the blue lights flashing. If it hadn't been for the staff at the Bridgnorth Community Hospital, I doubt I would have survived very long," recalled Mrs Pipe.
