    this may seem a bit odd, about 3 weeks ago near queenstown in tasmania, my wife collapsed in the car out in the bush and we had no 000 access, it was darkand for all intents she was having a heart attack, a van pulled up and she identified herself as a surgeon upper gastric, out of NSW, they were on gokiday, but after the ambulance arrived i lost track of her and i wanted to thank her for all she did, i was so worried at the time and no 000 acces was not good
    i was hoping that wi;th the contacts doctors have with each other someone might remember being the one and i can thank her, she was just wonderful, if you can help i will be very grateful
