Dear Editor:
My partner and I recently had tickets to see a musical at the theatre in Drayton.
My partner tripped and fell head first while walking on the paved road to the theatre. He had bad cuts to his head, knee and arm.
I would like to thank the wonderful people of Drayton for coming to his rescue.
One lady who saw him fall, called 911 for an ambulance. Another lady who was a firefighter, came to the rescue to assess his injuries. Another lady asked if she could go to the box office and tell them what happened, so we could get our tickets exchanged for another Drayton show. A close by neighbour brought an ice pack, and offered to stay with me while the paramedics assessed the injuries.
Upon leaving in the ambulance for Palmerston hospital, this same lady offered to drive to the hospital and have me follow her so I would know where to go. She also stayed with me until my partner was released.
We would like to say a big thank you to the wonderful people of Drayton and also the staff at the Palmerston hospital for their wonderful kindness and help that was given to us. We will never forget it.
Dorothy McMillan,
Waterloo
