“The family of an 86-year-old grandmother said her “agonising” wait in an emergency department rated by inspectors as one of the worst in England was an “absolute disgrace”.
Joan Jones was left “rolling over in pain” at the A&E department at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan, Greater Manchester, her family said.
Her son, Barry Jones, said his mother had suffered a collapsed gallbladder and was in “constant pain” while waiting for treatment. He said it took 30 hours before she was admitted to a ward.”
An unsurprising account of our health “service”,overrun by foreign trash and fat Middle managers.
For sheer cuntishness it must be impossible to surpass the Orwellian double-speak of the same managers when confronted by the inconvenient reality of human suffering..
“In a statement, hospital trust CEO Mary Fleming said she was sorry to hear about the concerns raised by the family.
She said: “We welcome the opportunity to speak with her family directly, understand their concerns and provide any additional support we can.”
Fuck off you condescending sack of shit.
“The situation was unbelievable,” said Barry Jones, 62, from Ashton-in-Makerfield.
“Mum was so tired and weak. Even other people in the waiting room were saying, ‘what’s she doing in here?’.”
An ambulance took Joan Jones from her home in Ashton-on-Makerfield to the hospital in the early hours of Sunday 18 October.
Her son said a nurse told him his mum “wasn’t a priority”.
He continued: “Police were bringing criminals in and they were going straight in to get treatment.
“The whole system is upside down. It’s wrong that those people are getting seen first.”
Barry Jones said after repeatedly asking nursing staff for help, his mum was eventually given a pillow and put on a trolley bed in the corridor.
About 30 hours after arriving at the hospital, Joan Jones was moved onto a ward.”
These cunts make me sick.
Nominated by Unkle Terry.
As she appears to be from Makerfield, she probably voted for buswanker Burnham and therefore deserves all the suffering she encountered.

I think that one of the many reasons for the COVID con was to reset the health services in all countries.
To lower the expectations of patients and potential patients.
To make people less reliant when possible.
The difference in the UK is that people’s expectations were low before COVID and now they are just worse.
Also, the obscene amount of money that the NHS gets.
Your country is not alone with having a much worse health service than before COVID.
You will expect to wait 12 hours or more here if you turn up in A&E with a broken bone or something else non life threatening, but I have not heard of any stories about pensioners being left in pain for more than a day.
That is outrageous.
Good morning.

Saw this on utube where Mrs Jones slept on a collapsible chair, whilst criminals who should’ve been left for dead were treated more urgently. I’m still flabbergasted whey the likes of twatty Blair haven’t been shoot and fed to the cannibals the cunt let in.
