The two comments that made me start the thread:

In a panic, we managed to get him in to my daughters car and set off to A and E and received the nurses call half way there. She sounded shocked when I explained his condition and her advice? 'If happens again, stop driving and call an ambulance'! He spent the rest of the day on a drip in hospital. What a joke.
