“Do you know, some of you people will pick up on any words or phrase you can just to add some sarcastic comment. The phrase "medical related" implies that it was medical as opposed to an injury - that's not too hard to understand is it???”

“The Wales Ambulance Service confirmed the incident was "medical related".
Oh my goodness, I thought it was there for a plumbing job.
And should it not be "medically"?
I do hope the child is ok though, I have nothing but admiration for the work the ambulance does.”
