they have no medical facilities at Paddington Underground, not even a
SM's room (or whatever). Neither did they say why the staff have not
had stroke FAST training.

The moral: don't fall ill on the Undergound.


It's equally unwise to fall ill while driving a car or riding a bus. But
I agree that the LU staff seemed poorly prepared to help.

Actually, it can even be unwise to fall ill in a hospital, as my mother
did when visiting a relative in an internationally famous UK specialist
cancer hospital - "best to drive her to the general hospital up the
road, as we don't have the equipment or expertise here for what might be
meningitis" I was told
