Docs are crying in the car park. It's the worst I've seen

A&E MEDIC: MINISTERS SHOULD GO TO JAIL OVER NHS

- JOHN SIDDLE

EXHAUSTED doctors and nurses are breaking down in tears in hospital car parks after losing lives that could have been saved during their shift.

This shocking plight of our NHS heroes is today laid bare in a devastating interview with a junior A&E doctor who says Tory politicians should be jailed for wilful neglect of the service.

It comes as up to 500 people a week are dying because of delays in emergency care amid crippling demand, a lack of beds, ambulance queues, and a staffing black hole.

And a GP at her wits' end tells how surgeries have been turned into little more than "conveyor belts" through lack of staff, despite Tory claims.

Painting a stark picture of the grim reality in many hospitals, junior doctor Andrew Meyerson, 40, said: "My colleagues cry in the car park, shell-shocked, haunted by the substandard care they have been forced to deliver. Our resuscitation area is full. There are too many cardiac arrests.

"Urgent blue light ambulances have to wait to be checked in and assessed because we don't have the staff or beds to admit them. Patients become increasingly unwell and collapse in the waiting room. Our team saved many lives this week. But we also lost too many.
