Insensitive ambulance driver dumps ailing 96-year-old man at his home to fend for himself
In a shocking display of negligence, a frail 96-year-old grandfather was dropped at his home by a hospital driver even though there was no one at the residence who could care for him in his fragile state. Cliff Schofield was discovered collapsed on his chair, still wearing his hospital gown, by his horrified daughter Jane who expressed her outrage at the situation.
Speaking to The Sun, Jane said she was "absolutely disgusted" at how her father was treated. "The driver surely has a duty to care for the person he is taking home," she ventured. "When I got to the hospital, he'd gone. The nurse I'd spoken to wasn't there and other staff didn't seem to know anything about it."
