Helen 'Ella' Nimmo, 89, waited hours in crippling pain after falling in her care home
A Scots great-gran who was left waiting for an ambulance for five hours endured further nightmares at a Glasgow hospital.
"They confirmed it was a broken hip and that they would need to operate. My mum is on blood thinning medication, which I was told had to be out of her system for 24 hours before they could operate. Yvonne was later told by hospital staff that the nurse in charge of medication that night had too many patients and didn't have the time to give them all the correct care. The care home physio also informed Yvonne that QEUH staff had told the care home Ella wouldn't be returning there, and would instead be going to a geriatric unit.

I managed to speak to a senior doctor and he told me if she wasn't operated on within that 72-hour window, she would have to go into palliative care and she would essentially die from it.
