'Emotional' reunion as new Christchurch Hospital helipad gets test run
Kate Murney doesn’t remember anything from the first time she was flown to Christchurch Hospital, but she won’t forget the second time.
The 67-year-old mother of three was rushed to hospital in December 2013 with acute septicemia, a serious blood infection. Her family was told she wasn’t going to make it, but miraculously, she survived.
She returned to Christchurch Hospital on Thursday to visit the new helipad atop the new Hagley Acute Services building and to thank those who saved her life.
