"Accident and Emergency doesn't exist now, this isn't healthcare - it's a war zone and it's a lottery whether you will survive."
These are the harrowing words of an emergency doctor working at a Liverpool hospital right now. They are not hyperbole or exaggeration - they tell a truthful story of the bleak and dangerous reality that faces our National Health Service.
For one emergency doctor, working at Aintree Hospital, the situation is past the point of breaking. The situation is more like a war zone with no end in sight.
