On Saturday, Naomi & Simon Costelloe’s 4-year-old son, David, experienced a severe asthma attack. He stopped breathing, making it impossible to administer any medicine. She spoke to Jerry thanking the people who went above and beyond to save David’s life. She told Jerry of the trojan efforts of the 999 operator, an off-duty paramedic Shane Buckley who was first to respond to the call, the ambulance crew Greg Twomey and Adele Jennings, and the staff in UHK.
Jerry speaks to a paramedic who saved a young Caragh Lake boy’s life last Saturday, Shane Buckley from Killorglin, about the ordeal. The CEO of the Asthma Society of Ireland, Eilís Ní Chaithnía,
also joined Jerry this World Patient Safety Day to let people know about the supports available for people with asthma.
