Summary
Ambulances at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary faced brutal delays—some waiting over 12 hours, with one hitting a staggering 18 hours and 18 minutes—during peak flu season, echoing last year’s crisis. With 538 patients rushed in just one week and 18 ambulances queued, paramedics are burned out and terrified lives are being lost, especially in rural areas. Across the UK, emergency departments are overwhelmed, prompting a new national strategy to fix hospital backlogs, including new frailty units and more paramedics, in a desperate bid to save time and save lives.
