From a Patient's Mother…

“When seven-year-old Tyler collapsed I thought it was from sheer exhaustion. He was struggling to breathe and could only just whisper that Dad needed help a kilometre down the track. Little did I know that Tyler had several broken ribs and two punctured lungs that were filling up with blood. As he lay on a trolley in Milton Hospital with a suspected broken scapular, he turned blue. CareFlight had been called in to transport my husband, who had internal injuries, to a Sydney hospital. Thank goodness they were there, because it was Dr Rob Turner who was able to start the specialist treatment without which Tyler would have died.

“I will never forget what CareFlight did for my family. They saved our son. That is a priceless gift. We all have many demands on our financial reserves but I ask you to think of times when things could have gone wrong for your loved ones. May they never go wrong - but just in case - I urge you to support CareFlight in whatever way you can.”
