Mark McNamee said, 'I still can't get my head around it. For just a simple ear infection to basically, it's nearly destroyed your life for you.'

But if we're not prepared, panic and confusion can hinder our ability to act appropriately when they need us most.

Some 1 million patients in the U.S. live with a type of heart disease called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF, caused by a stiffening of a chamber of the heart that makes it much more challenging to distribute blood throughout the body.

Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.

There was a collective fear that we're under attack — there are people on the streets of London trying to kill our fellow Londoners.

You get sick from staying inside, breathing the same germ-filled air. Open your windows, even for five minutes, to circulate the old air out and let in fresh air. Also, if you're taking your child to the doctor, don't wait to treat their fever because you want 'the provider to see the fever.' Your child might wait two hours to be seen, meanwhile their temperature goes up, and they might have a seizure. If you say they've been having fevers, we believe you.

In the last week, we have seen significant demand on our services, in A&E in particular, which is resulting in lengthy waits for patients. This follows a previous critical incident in January, where rising demand, winter infections and staff sickness all led to unacceptable delays.
