Your NHS, your taxes at work.....
OAP hurt after ambulance blunder:
"A 93-year-old broke both her hips after being left at the wrong house by an ambulance crew - despite protesting that it was not her home.
The elderly woman, who suffers from memory loss, is normally cared for at home by her daughter but twice a week she is taken to a nearby hospital to give her family a break.
On this occasion, instead of being returned to her home in Penarth, near Cardiff, she was taken to a house five miles away in Dinas Powys.
It is alleged that the ambulance crew, who had mistaken her for another patient, found a key under a doormat and let the pensioner into the empty house, leaving her alone despite her protests.
They only realised their mistake when the woman's family asked why she had not arrived home. "
Jesus H Christ, where does the NHS find these fucking people???
