Banbury, Oxford (far from 'inner city')
A SUSPECTED stroke victim was forced to spend 11 hours in a hospital corridor waiting for a bed in A&E - despite being rushed to hospital by ambulance as an emergency.
Brenda Mountford, 77, was blue-lighted to A&E after a fall at home - but spent three hours in the back of the ambulance before the hospital was even able to admit her, say her furious family.
"She was freezing cold. The safety bars were crushing her. They had to keep turning the ambulance on for the heating.
"The corridors were four-a-side. All the cubicles were full, the waiting room was full.
"It's just dreadful. We are worried to death. They've got no beds and we have snow forecast; how are they possibly going to keep up?"
Mrs Mountford was transferred to the corridor at 1.45am, and was only moved into a cubicle at 1pm - 14-and-a-half hours after she fell at 10.30pm the night before.
Sorry about your mum - seems she was in a very fortunate position as far as her treatment was concerned. Many are not so lucky. Hope she recovers soon.
Oh, and the link is from the Sun - deliberate so Viper can see the pictures.
