"Wife became seriously ill from outbreak on the ward"

About: Warrington Hospital / General medicine

(as a relative),

My wife was admitted into Warrington Hospital with back pain due to a fractured vertebrae. Whilst waiting for a bed at a rehabilitation hospital at Ellesmere Port hospital. Since then there was an hospital infection outbreak on her ward the winter vomiting and diarrhea infection, that my wife was contaminated with. Then last Saturday in the early hours she suffered another infection that led to pneumonia and now is very ill with this respiratory infection. My wife going 80 years old and very frail is struggling to over come this hospital infection.

People go into hospital for a cure, not to become seriously ill with hospital infections.
