If the choice of hospital was the James Paget, I'd avoid it like the bloody plague, and if I was stuck there for two whole days, curling up and dying would seem like a reasonable option. /thank god I'm away from Norfolk blog Looks to me like your paramedic there arranged appropriate care. She couldn't safely get him into the ambulance for the 'first choice' of taking him straight to A&E, but the patient was seen by a doctor (albeit the police doctor) within a couple of hours, and from there, taken to hospital. That he then died is a sad thing, but old people and people with head injuries do that sometimes.
