my father was admitted on the 14/03/2014. after being left on a bed in A&E for 5 hours. he informed me that he had asked twice to go to the toilet, he needed his stoma bag emptying, no one had been to take him. I asked a further 3 times as his stoma was ready for bursting. eventually a sister came told my husband to take him to the toilet. I think this is disgraceful. my dad is 83 years old and suffers from bowel and prostrate cancer, I know staff are busy, but I wonder how they would feel if it was one of their parents.
