Mark from Magherafelt came off his motorbike in September 2022 & required the air ambulance. Mark said, βThe air ambulance medics were first on scene. I have no memory of the accident, but they treated me and flew me to the RVH. I suffered injuries to my neck, and had extensive injuries to my ribs, back, pelvis, legs and punctured lungs."
Thankfully Mark has made a remarkable recovery thanks to his personal determination and continuing support of the physiotherapy department in the RVH. He added, βMy wife, Clare is a nurse, and she has helped keep me going throughout it all, alongside both of our families. I feel like I have a second chance at life and Clare and I are very excited to be able to plan ahead for our future together."
"I am very grateful to the medics both at scene, at hospital and my physio Maeve. Without the rapid care and attention, I received from the medics of the air ambulance my story could look very different today, I will be forever grateful to their service."
