The wife of a dedicated paramedic who died of Covid has hit out at a patient transport operator after she was denied assistance to get her to a hospital appointment. Julie Goodwin was diagnosed with a rare and potentially life-threatening illness and says she will not be able to make her appointment at the Queen's Medical Centre without help.
Julie Goodwin spoke to Nottinghamshire Live back in April 2020 after her husband, Charlie, died from Covid at the age of 61. He had been a "totally dedicated" paramedic for many decades.
Mrs Goodwin, who doesn't drive, has now revealed she was diagnosed with a dural arteriovenous fistula, a rare and potentially devastating vascular lesion, back in 2016. Her husband had been taking her to hospital appointments before his death.
