THE public should drive suspected stroke or heart attack victims to hospital during the ambulance strike in some cases, a senior doctor said today.
Dr Adrian Boyle, president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, also warned that patients were already dying because of delays in the NHS.
The ambulance walk-outs across most of England and Wales have come at the “worst time,” he added, with the health service under huge strain from Strep A, Covid and flu. Ambulance officials advised that people should dial 999 if there is a suspected heart attack or stroke and the cases would be clinically assessed. In some cases, where the chest pains or suspected stroke are not judged to be a life-threatening situation, they may be advised that the patient should be driven to hospital.
