A mum-of-five has slammed her treatment after waiting almost two days on the floor of an accident and emergency (A&E) waiting room. Dawn Mullholland, 54, described the NHS as 'completely broken' following her ordeal.
She has submitted a formal complaint to the Liverpool University Hospital NHS Trust after her 'horrific' experience at Aintree Hospital, where she says she was left in 'incredible pain' for days. The mum-of-five said while the majority of staff were doing their best, she believes the system is so overloaded and desperate it has become dangerous.
Dawn, who owns a tattoo business in Liverpool, went to the Aintree Hospital A&E department just after 5pm on Sunday, June 18 with a high temperature, acute pain in her kidney area and vomiting. She was promptly triaged, had an x-ray and bloods taken, the LiverpoolEcho reports.
