Twenty four years overdue for a pitch fork already, what's to complain about. Beat the Reaper all that time, but NHS had the last laugh.
Cynthia Butcher, 94, had a golf ball-size lump on her left leg and was referred by her GP to A&E last April with an urgent note that said it “may bleed catastrophically imminently”.
When she arrived in A&E at Basildon Hospital, Essex, medics said they could not do a routine op to remove it because she was “over 70”. She was sent home to be visited by a community nurse.
On the evening of May 27, while waiting to get a date for the procedure, the lump burst.
Cynthia pressed a panic button but a warden was not on duty at her sheltered flats, so paramedics were locked out until one arrived.
