Lee4Life Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Regardless of the nature of the incident, it is so nice to be reading about someone saved instead of another life lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I don't think she is 72 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Perhaps this is a life that has been saved because there is now an Accident and Emergency center in Chalong near the pier. Previously it would have been around a further 30 mins to get to a hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
