Same with my late dad. He had daily carers who knew he was on the floor who didn't recorded the incident in their log book rang an ambulance then just fricked off and left him there. If it hadn't been for the diabetic nurse coming the next morning I wouldn't have known about it. Got onto the ambulance service and they said "Once they're down they are low priority as they can't injure themselves" He was down for nearly 2 days covered in urine and shit and chronically dehydrated
My father took himself to A&E while having a heart attack and still waited 26 hours to be seen. It took another couple of days of waiting to be admitted because there were no beds. Once he got in and had his op he was well cared for and had an ok experience (apart from the attempted murder on the ward of his room mate by some random woman).
