A man hoping to be one of Merseyside's next Members of Parliament needed life-saving surgery after waking up with what he thought was indigestion.
Speaking to the ECHO, the former Liverpool Councillor explained: "I was campaigning in the new estate in the Kew area of Southport two weeks ago. I had woken up with what I thought was indigestion, which had got worse through the day.MORE: Hidden derelict cottage with links to the Titanic Mr Hurley, 47, added: "The staff were amazing but the conditions they are working in are extremely challenging. There were between 50 and 60 people in that emergency room waiting to be seen."
