A mum says she was left sat in her own vomit and urine during a 'traumatising' nine-hour ordeal at an accident and emergency department. The 30-year-old woman had gone to A&E after feeling nauseous and had been told to prepare for an eight-hour wait.
And while she understood she would need to wait due to how busy the Manchester Royal Infirmary’s emergency department was, she started to feel as if she couldn't breath two hours into the wait. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Manchester Evening News : “I began to be sick in the A&E corridor and began to also lose control of my bladder and urinated on my sleepwear.
"Two men who were also in the waiting room saw what happened and got me towels from the toilet to clean myself up. I was so grateful to them but felt quite embarrassed because I was being sick and wetting myself at the same time.”
