I’m at @NorthMidNHS with a neighbour who has not urinated for more than 24 hours, has a high temperature and looks like he has a severe urine infection. He can’t walk and is barely able to speak. Getting anyone to see him has been VERY difficult.

So I asked the receptionist, what should we do. Let him die? Is that the right course of action. Her response was, “I doubt if I’d be treated in his country!” So again I asked, “ should we just let him die then?” Is that what we’ve come to? @NorthMidNHS

I don’t know if he is or not. But I DO know the man needs emergency medical attention before it becomes sepsis if it hasn’t already. He is in agony. So my priority is to try to make sure he doesn’t die. This isn’t going to solve itself without a catheter and antibiotics.

I am so angry and heartbroken to hear of the three beautiful women killed in a crossbow attack last night in Bushey. The fact this has happened to a BBC colleague is horrific. My thoughts are with him and his family right now and all the women at the mercy of violent men.

@NorthMidNHS I’m a huge supporter of our amazing NHS and of this hospital, which has treated my son for asthma many times and my dad when he collapsed on a visit from Manchester. But at this moment I can’t help feeling politics is getting in the way of emergency healthcare.

@NorthMidNHS I’ve had to push and push and push to get a nurse to look at him, which thankfully they are doing now. If he didn’t have anyone to push for him, he would almost certainly have been sent away.

@NorthMidNHS Are we really prepared to turn someone in acute medical need away if they don’t have the right paperwork? Inability to urinate for days is a medical emergency, requiring immediate treatment.

This is because he does not have a British Passport or NHS number as far as I am aware. An ambulance has already refused to come for him. So I filled in the form to the best of my ability and i have had a lecture about how he might be charged if he’s here illegally.

@NorthMidNHS They are reluctant to let a doctor look at him at all as far as I can tell. The nurse seems to have no clue, keeps getting all the information wrong and seems satisfied that he has no irons in his bladder even though he hasn’t urinated for more than 24 hours..
