Is Ben Parsons actually a qualified journalist or does the news editor and subs check this drivel? So he actually watched his life flash before his eyes did he? Paramedics brought him back from the brink with a suction device - did they suction his spirit or something!?
And then the doctors battled Ben. Did they punch him?
This is supposed to be a NEWSpaper. Report the news, don't embelish the truth - badly.

John, Have you ever tried a career in Journalism?, i doubt you have, the wording of an article is supposed to be such that it keeps us interested thus keeping us reading, although you may not be happy with the wording, the story IS STILL THERE so get a life you fool, YOU choose whether to read the news, YOU can choose not to so don't mock the stories that you do read

Paul, not only have I tried journalism but I excel at it. I am a former Argus journalist, national journalist and now run my own press agency selling copy internationally. Obviously I choose to read the news, both local and national, but I do not expect to be subjected to shoddy standards. This would never have been allowed into print in my time on the Argus and under then editor Simon Bradshaw.
Don't get me wrong, this is a good story but badly rendered.
The personal abuse on here is surely another example of the kind of unprofessionalism now rife on regional papers.

Sorry John, but exactly how do comments left by the public on a website, whether they're abusive or not, reflect the unprofessionalism now apparently rife on regional papers? I suppose you could argue that this site should be monitored, but if you knew anything about online journalism you'd know that would be a massive task which even large organisations like the BBC farm out to dedicated monitoring services.
In short, you got the abuse you deserved for soundinging like a self-important, sanctimonious tw@t.
