A patient has been left dumped in the corridor of an A&E department as Crosshouse Hospital hits crisis point.
The 19-year-old man was admitted into the unit on Tuesday night after falling ill waited almost two full days in the Ayrshire hospital for a bed.
The patient's shattered mum has told how her son was forced to spend hours on a chair in the corridor after first being admitted. He was then upgraded to a trolley where he lay in the corridor until being moved to the Combined Assessment Unit in Thursday evening.
