Tired NHS heroes have been seen in tears in hospital car parks after losing patients during shifts, The Mirror reports. This news comes as a junior A&E doctor said Conservative politicians should be jailed for wilful neglect.
Up to 500 people a week are dying because of delays in emergency care with demand reaching crippling levels, with a lack of beds, ambulance queues and difficulties filling staff vacancies, with a GP comparing surgeries to "conveyor belts" because of these issues.
Junior doctor Andrew Meyerson, 40, spoke of the tough emotions the NHS's struggle invokes on its employees: "My colleagues cry in the car park, shell-shocked, haunted by the substandard care they have been forced to deliver. Our resuscitation area is full. There are too many cardiac arrests.
