However, Comfort’s injuries were said to be critical and she was transferred to the LUTH for surgery, but she was allegedly rejected due to lack of bed space. Gordon, while lamenting his wife’s death, said she suffered internal injuries, adding that if she was not rejected due to lack of bed space and had undergone surgery immediately, she would have survived. “The ambulance took us to LUTH, but we were told that there was no bed space when we got there. I was ready to pay but they still had no bed space. “I don’t know the name of this patient for us to probe exactly what happened, but the issue of bed space availability is everywhere in the world and the lack of bed space cannot be equated with rejection.
