Janine Creamer describes her four-day stay on a trolley at University Hospital Limerick's A&E, highlighting the severe overcrowding and lack of care. She recounts seeing Aoife Johnston's mother begging for medical attention for her daughter, who later died due to a delay in antibiotic treatment.

A woman who says she was waiting in University Hospital Limerick 's A&E for four days on a trolley was there when Aoife Johnston's mother begged for her to be seen.

"It was the time Aoife Johnston was in hospital, I remember her mam, she was begging and pleading for her to be seen, I was on the trolley right in front of the nurses' station, she was begging and pleading." The Limerick woman hopes that the new government will tackle the county's overwhelmed health service as a priority, and provide more funding for those suffering with brain injuries.

Doctors discovered she had an arteriovenous brain bleed. This type of bleed is extremely rare and happens when the nerves get tangled in the brain when a baby is about 8-10 weeks old in the womb. After the operation, Janine spent six months in CUH and a further three months in the National Rehabilitation Hospital.
