MY sincere thanks goes to all who helped me survive a near fatal collapse on Thursday, June 23 at the Lysander Arms.

Thanks to Christine, Dave and Mark, the ambulance paramedics, the consultants and all the excellent nursing staff in the coronary care unit.

There was little time to spare but all their quick responses and professional skills have given me the privilege of being able to say thank you all.

William O'Sullivan,
