Was told there was an 8 hour back log for an ambulance. Yet on arrival there were 4 crews hanging around. She was very dehydrated. Nauseous And very sick . Very high temperature. She is 75yrs old was placed on a wheelchair in a busy corridor. Left waiting for nearly 24 hours the temperature in there was high . For her own well being i took her out of there . Taking her to maidstone instead. Absolutely shocking if I had the funds I would sue them !!!!
