Gavin Matthews has lost the ability to walk after his stroke and remains in hospital, his wife said
After arriving at A&E for a second time thanks to family help, Mr Matthews then had to wait seven hours, she said.Mrs Matthews said her husband Gavin, 45, who they share a six-year-old daughter with, had a seizure and developed a loss of feeling in his right arm on the afternoon of 16 November. After an hour's journey, Mrs Matthews said an A&E doctor saw him and then cleared them to return home after a couple of hours."He couldn't move, so we called an ambulance again," said Mrs Matthews.
She said he was triaged quickly at A&E, but did not get to see a doctor until about 10:00 GMT - seven hours after he arrived. "A stroke is life-threatening. You have four hours in which to get the right treatment for that kind of thing and they failed him. He's had his life changed forever," said Mrs Matthews.Ipswich Hospital is five miles from the Matthews' family home on the other side of town
