A furious husband has slammed the 'ridiculous 32 hours' his wife was forced to endure while waiting for a bed at an A&E department. Kay Davies, from Resolven, was taken to accident and emergency at Morriston Hospital in Swansea by her husband Philip Martin on Bank Holiday Monday after she fell unwell and started vomiting.
In the last year, the 58-year-old health care support worker had a cancerous tumour removed from her neck and underwent six weeks of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She also has an aneurysm to the brain, Wales Online reports.
Mr Martin, 59, has applauded the efforts of the hard working staff at the hospital but said something needs to be done to improve the waiting times as he claims one fellow patient in a wheelchair had been waiting there for three days. Philip waited with Kay for 11 hours before he had to leave to go to work and was shocked to discover that she was still waiting for a bed when he returned from his shift.
