'My 48 hours from hell in A&E - patients had to club together to buy loaf of bread for the ward'
A woman has told of her horrific 48-hour ordeal while fearing she would be left permanently damaged after an emergency referral to A&E.
It may require emergency surgery, because the longer it goes untreated, the greater the chance it will lead to permanent paralysis and incontinence, according to the NHS. By the morning, Tracey, a retired secretary at a commercial printing company, was still waiting and was struggling without food. She says her and other patients had to collect money for a nurse to go and buy a loaf of bread for the ward. She wrote: “November 30, Wythenshawe Hospital A&E.
After some 27 hours in A&E, Tracey claims she was still in the corridor but was finally taken for her MRI scan. But for medical reasons, needs the procedure done at Salford Royal and starts waiting for an ambulance transfer just after 6pm.The diary continues: “December 1, 2022, Salford Royal A&E. 3.33am: I have squatted in an empty room overnight, still on my trolley. The patient I was sharing the corridor with was shouting obscenities and racially abusing his carer.
But by 9am, she was “back in a corridor, my room was needed.” Tracey was then sent back to Wythenshawe’s A&E from Salford that morning, after 40 hours in the system.
