A woman begged for an ambulance for two hours while her husband was dying at their home in front of her. Lesley Weekley, 73, who lives in Barry in a two-storey flat she shared with husband of 43 years Rob Weekley, said he had been having sporadic discomfort similar to indigestion in the days leading up to Wednesday, January 4, when he suffered a heart attack in the early hours.
At 2.10am on January 4, Lesley was woken by Rob tapping her on the shoulder asking for indigestion tablets. “He was clammy, freezing cold, and was incoherent,” grandmother Lesley, who works in an ITU department at University Hospital of Wales, told WalesOnline.
“We’d gone to bed on that night with me telling him I’d be taking him to A&E the next morning. He was reluctant to go to A&E because of the long waits, but I told him I’d make him go. He hadn’t seemed too bad but he’d been complaining of a tightness and a trapped wind sensation in his chest.
