A&E Doctor 'Refused' To See Woman Before She Died
//A senior doctor refused to see a woman who died of an asthma attack after 39 hours sitting in a chair in A&E, an inquest heard.
Marina Young died at the Royal Preston Hospital on 22 June 2022 after a "gross failure to provide adequate assessment and medical care".
The inquest in Preston heard a senior doctor had refused to see her even though her life was at risk, coroner Dr James Adeley said.
He concluded her death at the age of 46 due to asthma was "preventable".//

An utterly appalling story. How can we have faith in the NHS?

I still have faith in the NHS based on past and current experience, as a family we cannot fault them. Between us we have regular check up with consultants for heart, lungs, cancer, glaucoma, COPD, and autoimmune diseases. My oldsters get excellent care from our GP and his nurses. My recent eye operation went extremely well with kindness from everyone.
I really hope that this lady was the exception to the norm, and not me and my family.
