by

Denise Welch openly discussed her recent emergency room visit and shared that she was quickly provided a bed within just 15 minutes, after someone recognized her.

66-year-old television personality shared insights about a recent health issue and the events that unfolded on the Thursday broadcast of Loose Women.

The group was deliberating on the latest job posting by the NHS Trust, which aims to hire a ‘doctor for corridor care’ to manage the rising strain caused by overcrowding in the Emergency Department (A&E).

As a diligent follower, I’m sharing my personal account of a recent event. I endured an entire day of waiting before being attended to at the hospital, but once news spread that I was admitted, they promptly provided me with a bed.

After her Caribbean vacation, she was urgently taken to a hospital due to severe peritonitis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining, not long after her return to the UK.

In the latest episode of ITV’s series, Denise shared with the group: “Here’s what I want to mention. A few weeks back, I was admitted to the hospital.

Initially, I had to be quickly admitted to the hospital. Thankfully, I ended up being fine, yet I spent a full day in the emergency room due to the lack of available beds. The staff were taking care of me, but they continually informed me that there was no bed available.

They assigned me to the surgical ward, but when I arrived, they kept saying, “No room, no room, no room.” Then someone recognized me, called the media, and within 15 minutes, I was already in a bed.

The crowd reacted with astonishment, and panelist Charlene White remarked, “That won’t sit well.

She then read out a statement from a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care.

As a lifestyle expert, I find it staggering to see hallway healthcare becoming a norm within our National Health Service (NHS). To ensure that our cherished NHS remains accessible when we truly need it, my plan advocates for necessary reforms and substantial investment.

Previously this month, the celebrity, who hadn’t appeared on the ITV discussion program since last November before making her comeback this month, informed followers, “Two weeks ago, I experienced the most intense pain imaginable.

* We endured a wait of ninety minutes for an ambulance, followed by a 24-hour stint in the emergency room while I was hoping to find a bed on the surgical ward.
