Hospital worker who 'felt a bit breathless' collapsed on Benidorm holiday and rushed to A&E

A 'fit and healthy' hospital porter was rushed to intensive care after suddenly collapsing while on holiday in Benidorm.

Lee Stafford, from Hyde in Tameside, travelled to the popular Spanish resort on Saturday, September 17 to celebrate his wife Lisa's 50th birthday. The first few days of the getaway had gone well, until 48-year-old Lee started feeling slightly breathless while out sightseeing.

The couple visited a local pharmacist who thought that he might have been suffering with a chest infection. Then last Friday, the day before the pair were due to fly home, Lee suddenly collapsed at the poolside of their hotel.
