My sister was taken by ambulance the day after having chemotherapy on the recommendation of the hemotology ward to call 999. On arrival she was left on a trolley in the corridor for 4 hours awaiting a cubicle to be treated. She had sepsis and was found a bed the next evening where it was discovered she had a perforated gall bladder and blood clots to her bowel which they cannot operate on as she is too ill. The staff and doctors have been great since she was admitted but no one should have to wait in a corridor when they are so seriously ill. I don't blame the staff they are doing the best they can but the health service is a shambles.
