Alvaro Figueiredo, 80, a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy and a diabetic, was without medical care for most of Saturday morning, lying in the cold and lying on the floor in the emergency department of the Viseu hospital, he exclusively said CM daughter Sandra Figueiredo.
The Viseu hospital denies that the patient spent the night on the floor and guarantees that a stretcher was available. “It’s a pity that a government organization lies like that. I came to the emergency room and saw my father huddled, frozen and without any medical help,” assures the 52-year-old daughter, repeating that she will sue. against a unit of health.
The patient asked his daughter to pick him up or bring blankets. “It wasn’t until I arrived, around 7:30 a.m., that they treated my father. The emergency room was empty,” he says.
