A local man collapsed while haemorrhaging blood from an abdominal aortic aneurysm has reunited with the medics who saved his life.
Antony Linward, 68, was at home with his wife in Crowborough in the early hours of November 11, 2024 when he started to vomit blood and lose consciousness.
A team of six clinicians from South East Coast Ambulance Service, attended the couple’s home following a 999 call.
On arrival, Antony was in a state of peri-arrest meaning he was unstable, weak, pale, vomiting large amounts of blood and was experiencing multiple organ failure.
Newly qualified paramedics, Robert Hammond and Georgia Anderson, paramedics Libby Pillet and Rosie Pimm, community first responder, Robert Cray, and operating unit Manager, Dave Hawkins worked together to stabilise Antony before he went on to spend a total of 52 days in hospital before being discharged to return to the family home.
