I have just got back from A&E and its like a war zone and a total mess. Yvonne was rushed into the hospital about 3-30 this afternoon and I followed in the car. She was put in a side room on a trolley which was set up for two trolleys but there where four trolleys in it,You could not move for ambulance crews (at least 10 crews) who were waiting to discharge their patients to the nursing staff. I was told by the crew who were seeing to Yvonne that they did not think they would get away from the hospital before their shift ended at 7-00pm. At 6-30 Yvonne was handed over to another crew and again at 8-15 handed over to a third crew. At 8-30 she was seen by a nurse followed by a doctor. At 9-00pm she was moved onto a corridor and it would not surprise me if she is still on a corridor when I go up to the hospital tomorrow. I did not want her to go to the hospital but our Family doctor said she could not be treated at home and insisted she went to the hospital
