She did not want to have him driven down in case he stopped breathing again and he was in traffic, the Ambulance has arrived as of 7pm, some 2 hours, 40 minutes later since they were first rang.
How on Earth can this be happening in the 21st Century?
It pains me to see this happening and it hurts more when it's your own flesh and blood.  |
It's a shambles Mick and I hope your nephew gets better soon.
This has been coming for a long time, the NHS has been relying on luck. It's wake up time for the general public, if you want an NHS you're going to have to pay more tax. It's a message the Tory party won't give as they are quite happy to see it fail, and cut taxes for the rich. Even if they have private health care many don't realise they'll get transferred back to the NHS if they are seriously ill (sometimes having to endure life threatening transfers between hospitals).
