RISK TO THE NATION

Very disappointed and frustrated, my little brother experienced a query CVA on Monday (05/09/2022) evening- and I say query because clinically he presented with the symptoms of CVA and also has a history of TIA that he had in the past, the ambulance service that responded- (Ambulance number- A81, Moot crew), did not take his currently condition of the patient in mind (confused, nonverbal, Right sided weakness etc.), and his medical history, they did not provide or give my little brother any oxygen and the ALS did mention that his pupils are dilating but did nothing about those indications, IN MEDICINE- WE TREAT A CONDITION BASED ON THE SYMPTONS UNTIL PROVEN WITH SCIENTIFIC DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS LIKE A SCAN, which was not done, he was then walked to the ambulance outside no stretcher was used, the ambulance then did not even drive as fast or show urgency to the hospital while commuting, we then got to the casualty and the ALS was not even there to hand over to the nurses, he left an *********** BLS to deal with a ?CVA patient, and he was very condescending and discredited my brother's condition.

OUTCOME OF THE SCAN: ACUTE INFACT IN THE OCCIPITAL LOBE TOGETHER WITH A HEAMORRAGE.

In conclusion, if my little brother had been treated as a CVA patient until proven otherwise, he could have had a better outcome, he is in ICU fighting for his life now.

I will not leave this lying down as our community is at risk, I'm advocating for everyone that is not fami**** with clinical protocols or management thereof. Accountability and responsibility need to be taken drastically
