Patient feared having cardiac arrest in line of emergency vehicles outside hospital's A&E
A WOMAN suffering a suspected heart attack told last night how she had to wait for five hours in the back of an ambulance before she was seen by medics.
Roseanna Clarkin, 39, was rushed to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after collapsing at home with an almighty pain across my back and chest" and being unable to breathe.
