Zoe Carlin: 'Nine days in a hospital staff room was dehumanising'

A woman who feared she was having a heart attack said she spent nine days in a hospital staff room because of a shortage of beds.

Zoe Carlin, 23, was admitted to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry in March after experiencing severe chest pain.

She said she spent more than a week in a “locker room” where she had to use a hand bell to call staff during what she described as a “dehumanising” ordeal.
