A DEMENTIA sufferer spent 36 hours on a trolley in a hospital corridor in scenes his daughter said were “like the seventh circle of hell”.
Brian Myserscough, 80, was rushed to A&E by ambulance after falling over at home.
He was then given a laminated identity label to signify he was receiving "corridor care".
Daughter Gail Myerscough, 52, said: "I was just horrified. I have never seen anything like it.
Corridors and corridors of people on trolleys. It was awful.
"And I am not blaming the staff, the staff were amazing - but they were run off their feet. There is not enough of them." Gail said her father was taken to Blackburn Hospital's A&E department at around 1.30pm last Saturday.
His wife Brenda, 77, had travelled with him in the ambulance and managed to wait in the corridor until 1am on Sunday.
