I don't blame the hospital but so sad to take my mum in who has stage 4 bone cancer on chemo treatment to be a corridor patient along with so many other patients on both occasions within a week. She even spent a whole night in pain in A & E because there were no beds. Some patients in beds who couldn't talk were even reaching out but because the department was so busy had to be ignored. Porters were f-ing and blinding. Paramedics were shocked. Staff were frantically trying to find corridor spaces. Try and avoid this hospital in an emergency as its struggling to cope.
