Dear Editor:
On Oct. 9 my husband had a bad fall on our driveway and was unable to get up. A family driving by noticed him lying in the driveway and stopped to assist. They were able to get a chair from our home and get him seated before I was able to get outside.
They left before I got their names, but this was just another example of the great community we are privileged to live in.
I called for an ambulance, which showed up very quickly, and my husband was taken to Groves hospital. He had emergency surgery at Guelph General the following day.
We know that our health care system is stretched to the limit, but in a case of an emergency the response was phenomenal.
Brenda Chapman,
