Aussie woman's 25-hour ordeal in Sydney hospital waiting room highlights healthcare system issues

A young woman documented the 25 hours she spent by her ailing mother's side at a Sydney emergency department. Ella Jae, 22, shared a video of her time in the waiting room of Westmead Hospital, where her mother had to wait a whole day and night before getting a bed. She expressed her frustration at the long wait times and shared updates throughout the night until her mother was finally admitted.

Emergency patients at Westmead Hospital faced the state's longest wait times despite a recent $900 million redevelopment. The video highlights the challenges of the overstretched public hospital system, with patients enduring hours of waiting, including an elderly man who spent over 24 hours on the floor of Blacktown Hospital.

Efforts to improve the public health system are being questioned as patients continue to face long wait times and inadequate facilities. The stories of patients waiting for hours for a bed raise concerns about the state of healthcare in New South Wales.
