Special needs man, 84, 4-days hell on a trolley

AN 84-year-old man with special needs was left on a trolley for four days in an emergency department before being transferred to a bed in a ward this week.

The patient, who also has serious medical conditions, presented at the emergency department of Mayo University Hospital early on Friday morning accompanied by a carer.

He was on a trolley in a corridor until he was transferred to a bed in a day ward in the hospital on Tuesday.

A member of the man's family said he was in a distressed state and struggled to rest in the bright, busy corridor.
