Jon’s Story
Jon was enjoying a solitary ride through the hills of Macclesfield when he unexpectedly collided with a farmer manoeuvring his cattle trailer onto the road. Due to the severity of the accident, we were immediately dispatched. Consultant Doctor, Eimhear and Critical Care Paramedic Adam arrived to find Jon on the brink of a cardiac arrest. Moving swiftly, the crew stabilized Jon before performing chest surgery. Without this lifesaving procedure, Jon’s lungs would have compressed and caused his heart to stop beating.
Reflecting on the accident, Jon said: “I have no memory of the incident, but through conversations with the police and those who assisted me at the scene, I have been able to piece together what happened. My first memories were a day or so later when I recall seeing family members at my bedside.
Jon added: “Volunteering for the charity is my way of saying thank you, I’m due to retire soon and I’ve recently moved to working three days a week, as a build-up to retirement. I felt that I wanted to give something back, which is why I now volunteer in the NWAA Wilmslow shop one day a week.”
As part of our 25th birthday campaign, we are calling out for patient stories like Jon’s to highlight our vital work within the region.
