Mark Hemmings died in agony after being continually refused an ambulance to take him to hospital. The 41-year-old had been struck down with gallstones and a routine operation would have saved his life. Despite sounding in agony during two 999 calls and a conversation with and out-of-hours doctors agency, medics failed to react to his his increasingly desperate pleas for an ambulance, and when they finally did it was too
late. Paramedics eventually arrived at Mark's flat two days after his initial call, after his care worker found him seriously ill and called 999. He later suffered a cardiac arrest. Mark was finally taken to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire and died just 30
minutes after.
