How to get a quadruple upgrade with Avis.

[IainF]

I am between cars right now due to the 5 series coming off lease and Mrs F not agreeing with my choice of a Range Rover Sport Supercharged for the time being. (She wants me to get a diesel VW Golf....Bah.)
Due to my travel right now, I have just been renting from my local Avis when I need a car.
I usually book a Lancer and then am given an XR6 or Commodore.

This morning however, I was waiting for my car to be washed when an old gentleman being served at the counter, just collapsed and started turning blue.
He was not a well man....
With limited assistance from the Avis staff I managed to get him on his back and commenced CPR after checking his pulse, breathing etc...
The staff called 000, and about 6-7 mins (Seemed liked forever) two crews came and took over.

They loaded him up and took him off to the Royal Brisbane.
I was a bit sweaty and shaky after this, so the manager put me in her office and organised a cold drink for me.
When I wandered out to get the car, the manager gave me the keys to a new v8 Caprice and thanked me profusely for looking after the customer.
I can imagine the paperwork she would have to go through if a customer passed away in her reception room....:shock:

I phoned the hospital to check on him, and without giving me too many details, they said he was stable.
Win/Win...

Congrats and well done. Even when you're medically trained it seems to take forever for Ambos to arrive.


OT/
Get the RRS - just get the diesel version - tell MrsF it's diesel so will use the same fuel as the golf (!).

It seems karma paid out quickly for your unflinching response to an ill man

The rates quoted must have been a shocker literally for the poor customer .

Its nice to hear a good deed being done and rewarded, too many people turn a blind eye these days to those in need.

Possibly a quadruple upgrade.... Followed by a quadruple by-pass!!

Well done!!
