An 80-year-old retired nurse says she fears for the NHS she loves after spending 24 hours on a corridor full of patients at a Liverpool hospital.
The pressure on the National Health Service remains intense and corridor care has become something of a norm in many hospitals. Former nurse Val Johnstone was shocked at what she experienced after being rushed into the new Royal Liverpool Hospital recently.
Val, who lives on her own in sheltered housing in Woolton, was suffering from sickness and dizziness and was taken by ambulance to the hospital's Accident and Emergency department on Thursday, March 2.
