Roseanna Clarkin was at the back of a 16 long queue of ambulances
A woman was left waiting in an ambulance outside a Glasgow hospital for five hours after she collapsed with a suspected heart attack.
The ambulance arrived to her Dunbartonshire home within five minutes after she collapsed at home with “an almighty pain across my back and chest” and being unable to breathe. But after getting into the hospital grounds so quickly, she was shocked at the chaos outside she told the Daily Record.She said: “We couldn’t even get parked near A&E because there were another 16 ambulances waiting there with patients already.
“I wasn’t just concerned for myself but for everyone in the ambulances waiting outside and for those waiting at home who may die prematurely as they couldn’t get an ambulance because they were stuck at hospital with us.“It felt as if the ambulance drivers were just being used to babysit us. I knew that if I was to have a heart attack in the back of the ambulance it was not a great situation.
“But if they had taken bloods when I was sitting waiting in the ambulance it could have freed the crew up four hours earlier.A couple of days later Roseanna discovered the real cause of her pain was covid and she is still recovering at home.
