Analysis: A night in Scotland's troubling NHS corridor care

Summary

After reporting on upsetting stories of patients trapped in corridor care, political correspondence for the Herald, Hannah Brown never thought she'd be one of them a couple of weeks later. 

On a Monday night earlier this month, Hannah found herself lying on a trolley bed in a corridor somewhere in Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth unable to sleep through the pain and discomfort. 

What seemed to start off as an annoying sinus infection turned out to be quite a significant bout of pneumonia in both her lungs. 

The experience allowed Hannah a personal insight into the current care and waits in Scotland’s NHS.  From her own care path to fellow patients’, what she found was deeply troubling.
