Bartosz Maroszek (35) was walking along the Crieff Road in the early evening of October 4 having just picked up his prescription from the Asda pharmacy when the trauma occurred.

“After the second call they said they had no available ambulances and suggested someone to take me to PRI by themselves.”
Bartosz added: “Even the nurses were wondering ‘how
