My son fell off a wall and broke both his ankles,(he is 35 years of age and lives at home) had to crawl to get someone to help him, ambulance took him to hospital and x rayed both ankles, confirmed breaks,then moved him 10miles away to a hospital where a bed was available. He was kept in this hospital for one week then on a Friday morning was put in a taxi with his wheelchair and dropped off in the city centre in the rain and was told to go to the homeless at the Town Hall to find some accomodation which would accomodate a wheelchair bound person,(nothing covering his legs) he was told by the hospital he could not stay any longer because he was taking a bed up and they needed it as there was nothing they could do for him yet. He was after about 8hrs finally found a hostel that was wheelchair friendly and was able to accomodate a commode for him. He is due back at the first hospital on Friday 3rd September after the wife had made many phone calls to find out what was happening to him. I am not a racist person but all my family have been brought up in this country, my father fought in the 2nd World War my uncle was killed in the same War, we are white ENGLISH people.
I just wonder, if we as a family were foreigners would my son have been treated better than this.
