BBC Hereford & Worcester
Mr Adams, who had been given a life expectancy of 12 to 18 months six years ago, has raised more than £21,000 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association since his diagnosis.One of his carers, Caroline Jordan, said a 999 call was made at about 19:30 BST on Sunday. "But it was always the same: 'we're very busy, we're very sorry, there'll be someone there with you as soon as we can'.
"I think most people in my situation are now finding it hard to make decisions about going to hospital, because the entire process has now become a deterrent."The ambulance service said a patient "had had a fall but was uninjured" and a call was "triaged as a Category 4, the lowest level of urgency as the patient was unhurt".
