In life, Inga Rublite was just another patient in a busy hospital waiting to see a doctor. In death, the 39-year-old has become a tragic symbol of how overstretched and overburdened the NHS has become.

Rublite died after being found unconscious under her coat in an A&E waiting room more than eight hours after arriving.
