- Title Quick-Thinking Heroics as Six-Year-Old Son Asks Amazon Driver For Help As His Mother Lays Unconscious In The House
- Summary The incredible actions of a mother’s six-year-old and an Amazon delivery driver have been praised online after a health condition caused the mum to collapse and fall unconscious. On July 20th, at her home in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, Elizabeth Crooks was suffering from a severe case of PoTS (Postural tachycardia syndrome) which had caused her heart rate to drastically increase to 180bpm and all colour from her body had drained. As a result of this, Elizabeth rang the ambulance and very shortly fell unconscious as her two children, aged five and six, were in the house. Being taught by Elizabeth what to do in these scenarios, her six-year-old son sought help from an Amazon delivery driver. After entering the house, the driver rang the ambulance, with Elizabeth saying: “As I was down as a non-emergency, it could've taken hours for one to show up so thankfully with him helping and calling to explain, I got help much faster and was found much faster.” Thankfully, due to the actions of the Amazon driver, the ambulance was able to arrive at Elizabeth’s house in 20 minutes and was quickly taken to hospital. It was later learnt that Elizabeth had been unconscious for around 20 minutes as opposed to the usual couple of minutes an episode. Elizabeth has since created a online fundraiser in an effort to reward the delivery driver, and to help in raising funds for a panic button to be installed in the case of a repeat incident.
