Wish granted… Mr Dirk Gunther (84) had not seen the beach in 35 years. While being transferred from a Newcastle to Durban hospital by ER24 on Sunday, Mr Gunther mentioned that he wished he could see the ocean as he had not in so many years.
Margery Meijerink, from ER24 Newcastle, said she would do her best to grant his wish. However, on the day, weather conditions did not permit.
She spoke to ER24 Durban Branch Manager, Jannes Prinsloo, who gladly assisted her in granting Mr Gunther’s wish.
During the transfer back to Newcastle today, Lucas Nzimande and Shaun Naidoo, from ER24 Durban, stopped at the beach, allowing Mr Gunther to experience what he had not in so many years.
