A man has described scenes "from a doomsday film" in a crisis-hit hospital where his dad had to wait hours to be seen despite a suspected heart attack.
Joe Doran has spoken of trying to get his dad, Jim Birch, to hospital after he was showing signs of a potential heart attack. Having waited more than three hours for an ambulance, Joe and his family drove their dad to Whiston Hospital where he described horrifying scenes.
Joe, 32, from Huyton, said: "Dad had been complaining of chest pains and shooting pains down his arm, he is not one to complain and he was really struggling so we could tell something was wrong. My aunty is a former nurse and she came round and said she thought it could be a heart attack."
