A nan whose husband collapsed with a brain bleed had to be rushed to hospital herself after suffering a massive blood clot while packing him an overnight bag.
Patricia Sheridan, 80, was gathering toiletries for her husband Peter at their St Helens home when she was struck down with a pulmonary embolism and heart failure in August 2020. The couple, who recently celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary, were taken to Whiston Hospital in the same ambulance.
Their daughter Donna, 50, said: "I went to their home and found my dad collapsed on the floor. I called emergency services as you do, paramedics came and checked him over and said he had to go in because he couldn't get up - he'd spent all night on the floor.
