A Plymouth teacher has thanked a volunteer medic who came to her rescue after she fell on a dog walk and became "distressed" after being ignored by fellow walkers. Suzanne Reeve, from Hooe, did not have her mobile phone with her during the walk on September 9 last year.
Suzanne's fall caused serious injuries. At the time, she thought she had a broken arm, but after trying to push herself up, she quickly realised she had "broken every single bone" in her ankle. As a result, Suzanne could not move.
She had broken her arm and her ankle was at 140 degrees facing her with a splintered bone. Adrenaline took hold and Suzanne put a splint on her own ankle using her shoelace and some sticks. “I quickly put the splints together and then wrapped my ankle, which I had to obviously twist back.”
