Video: Disgusted mum takes pics of blood-splattered equipment after forced to wait four hours with ill tot

A mum was left disgusted after her 15-month-old son was rushed to hospital with a viral infection but had to wait four hours next to equipment - which was caked in BLOOD.

Lynne Essex, 19, and poorly tot Riley arrived at hospital at 7.30pm, but after being checked over by a doctor were not admitted to the children’s ward until 11.15pm. But she was shocked to find a suction tube splattered in dried blood next to the cot where Riley was waiting at Worcestershire Royal Hospital on January 10.
