Went in with severe COPD breathing problems by Emergency Ambulance, staff put on a trolley to wait for a Doctor, saw a doctor within 5 mins was put on oxygen and a drip. They decided to Admit asap when a bed was available, but 11 hours later had to be rushed into Intensive care... had turned critically Ill through waiting too long .. "Good luck! "
