Told us a stroke was a virus

I phoned at 11pm for an ambulance as my husband was extremely ill with stroke symptoms, I told them he'd had strokes before. He was vomiting and I couldn't move him from the floor. The ambulance arrived at 6am and took him to A&E. The doctor there said he had a virus despite knowing my husband's history, which I knew was wrong. They tried to discharge him at 2pm. When I got there he was still being violently sick and couldn't walk. They made him try with a stick and then a frame but he kept collapsing. In the end the physio disagreed with the doctor and they performed a scan which showed that he had had a stroke. So it had been 27hrs since I called an ambulance and 8hrs after he arrived in A&E before he had a scan. He was then moved to a ward but was on a bed in a corridor. Nobody cleaned him up and he was covered in vomit. I have to say the stroke rehab team were brilliant afterwards, they came out to see him for six weeks.
