"Treatment - Organization !"

About: Heartlands Hospital

My wife was left in a corridor suffering for over 2 hours and so were several others.

This needs sorting out it was disgraceful.

It was only after 4 attempts speaking to medical professionals that she was given attention,

The doctor who rushed her into A+E told us that she had an hour to be seen before her condition got critical and she could die.

The initial ambulance took 1.15hrs to come and for her to be left in the corridor for an additional 2 hours was utter disgraceful.
