A family was left 'distraught' when a man was rushed to hospital after coming out of his room at home "screaming in agony." Lee Parkinson, 26, began to experience pains in his stomach and put it down to a virus at first.
But when his condition rapidly deteriorated, dad Frank knew something was seriously wrong. Rushing him to hospital, Frank said it was an "emotional rollercoaster".
Frank told the Liverpool ECHO: "It was a two-hour wait, but he started going pale and sweating. He was grey."
