Tes­ti­mo­ni­al from Kristy Wil­holt (PRAN at Sil­ver Chain)

“In April I was able to help save a life. I was called to attend­ed with St John Ambu­lance to a 000 call for a client with chest pain.

We were able to quick­ly bring him back to the Health Cen­tre were I was able to call for assis­tance from the Emer­gency Tele­health Ser­vice (ETS).

The man was hav­ing a heart attack and required Throm­bol­y­sis to help clear the block­age. I had the sup­port and help from a great team includ­ing the ETS Doc­tor who was video linked in to talk to us all over an iPad, there was the St John Ambu­lance Vol­un­teer and 2 Police offi­cers as we treat­ed and mon­i­tored the client.

We were able to organ­ise an RFDS Flight to come and take the client to have car­diac surgery which saved his life.

Then 2 months lat­er I received a call from the client to say he was trav­el­ling with his part­ner across the Nullar­bor and he want­ed to stop in and say thanks. When he arrived he had a beau­ti­ful bunch of flow­ers, but most of all he was amazed at how quick­ly we had seen him and sent him out to have the surgery he needed.

This is what makes work­ing remote some­thing spe­cial, help­ing to save lives”
