GP refused to treat woman who fell outside surgery

Postby annie » 26 Sep 2014, 09:34

Woman of 88 lies stricken in road with a cut head outside a doctors' surgery... but GP refuses to help because he isn't 'a first-aider'
Woman, 88, cut her head falling over on pavement close to doctors' surgery
Good Samaritan Jane Batchelor went to get help inside the practice
Doctor Christopher Uwagboe refused to leave office to help Iris Henderson
The surgery also 'refused to give her a blanket to keep warm'
Mrs Henderson was eventually taken to hospital by an ambulance
She is still being treated in hospital a week after her fall last Thursday
Surgery says changes brought in to 'ensure this does not happen again'
Spokesman refuses to comment on whether GP was first-aid trained
