Woman waits 3 hours for an ambulance, 32 hours for a bed and is 'dropped on the floor' by paramedics after emergency collapse

A devoted husband was left thinking what else could go wrong after his wife collapsed and everything "kept getting worse" after ambulance crews turned up.

Christopher Jackson-Wyatt claimed his wife Anita, 64, was left waiting for three hours on the floor after falling unconscious at their Ruthin home. When ambulance crews finally arrived they were "not prepared" for the job at hand, Mr Jackson-Wyatt said, and they even dropped Mrs Jackson-Wyatt on the floor as they carried her out to the ambulance.

North Wales Live reported that when Mrs Jackson-Wyatt got to hospital she contracted Covid after being admitted to the intensive care unit in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. Before that she waited 32 hours for a bed.
