A pensioner was forced to lie on a hospital trolley at St John's after a stroke for 21 hours because there were no beds.
Frank Mooney (65) had been sent to St John's Hospital by his GP who detected warning signs in a chance phone call. The GP was so concerned about his condition he told him not to wait for an ambulance but to get his wife to drive him straight away to hospital.

“After I knew what was going on I began to feel a bit better but part of my brain wasn’t getting any blood.
