When after seven hours, at approximately At 5.30, her name was called, she didn’t respond, and the staff checked her out, thinking she was tired of waiting and had gone home.

However, more than an hour later, she was found unconscious in the hospital waiting room, sitting covered with her coat, the publication reports.

The woman was rushed to the intensive care unit, but it was already too late – she had started bleeding in the brain and bleeding profusely. In this situation, surgery was no longer possible.

He was pronounced dead two days later, on January 22, when life support was turned off.

“That’s the official date of death, but I think she basically died in that waiting room,” said Inese Briede, Rublīte’s twin sister.

“No one did anything to her. And when they found him, it was too late.”

“She [Inga] there [Apvienotajā Karalistē] lived 20 years, paid all taxes, worked hard and paid everything on time. The only time in all these years she went to the hospital for help, no one looked at her. I can’t describe what it feels like not to get help where it should be,” the deceased sister Inese shared her emotions.
