Stroke victim waited five days for diagnosis despite wife's pleas in Scotland

More stupidity out there because there is no objective way to diagnose a stroke. That can be accomplished through one of these 17 ways.
YOU are going to have to complain about that because the hospital will just change a few processes and announce resolution. Do you want to wait 5 days?  Keep asking questions of the hospital administrator.  Early onset dementia is no excuse for not being able to diagnose a stroke.

 Weasal words from the article;
I have written to the family to say how truly sorry we are about what happened and to explain the steps we have already taken to implement improvements.
They aren't going to do anything to address the real problem(objective diagnosis) unless YOUhold their feet to the fire.
