An 85-year-old man was forced to lie down in the rain while waiting for an ambulance after breaking his hip and despite living across the street from the hospital.
Keith Royles was mowing his lawn when he had an accident and broke his hip in Bodelwyddan, northeast Wales. Despite living very close to the hospital, the elderly man lay outside in the rain for seven hours while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
“We called the hospital and asked for an ambulance, but we were told that we would have to wait from four to seven hours,” one of Keith’s daughters told the British newspaper. Mirror🇧🇷 “We called several times and my sister even waved to the technicians of one of the ambulances, but they said they couldn’t help,” he says, pointing out that across the road where the elderly man lives is the Ysbyti Glan hospital. Clwid.”
However, when the paramedics arrived after an agonizing wait, Keith was told that he would not be taken to the nearest hospital, but to a facility 30 miles away. It will be about the overcrowding of the local hospital, writes Mirror.
The elderly man’s family did not accept him and demanded that he be taken to the nearest unit, as he is ill with an incurable form of cancer.
