\u201cIt\u2019s the longest ride I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d The words of Terry Miller, a quiet and unassuming Mudgee local with an incredible story to tell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two years ago, in May 2019, 60yo Terry experienced a subarachnoid haemorrhage, an SAH bleed around his brain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He was taken straight to Mudgee hospital, transferred to Dubbo, then flown to Sydney by the Royal Flying Doctor Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak highly enough of all the medical services and the amazingly skilled staff who helped Terry\u2019s recovery,\u201d his wife Veronica told us. \u201cBut the RFDS were key to Terry\u2019s access to ICU medical services in Sydney when he was critically ill.\u201d<\/p>\n

He spent weeks in the Neuro ICU ward at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and according to Veronica his recovery has been nothing short of a miracle.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery few people suffer an SAH and recover like he has,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving in a regional area, getting to Sydney was a bit of a process. In short, we relied on the Royal Flying Doctors Service to fly Terry to Sydney from Dubbo,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also transferred him back to Mudgee when he was ready to come home to the hospital here. People in the bush rely on medical emergency flight services in a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
