Mother, 22, suffered a miscarriage on A&E hospital FLOOR after her pleas for help were ignored for six hours

Leanne Kenward, 22, arrived at Whipps Cross University Hospital in Leytonstone, East London, in December last year after suffering heavy bleeding. 

Nine weeks pregnant, she voiced her concerns to hospital staff that she was miscarrying. Despite this, she was put in a side room with her worried boyfriend Billy King, 25. 

There, the pair waited two hours to be seen by a nurse and another four by a doctor. By the time Miss Kenward, a student, had miscarried and lost two pints of blood. She said: 'I was treated like a dog.

I told them I thought I was having a miscarriage and I thought that might speed things up but nothing happened.

'By the time I saw a doctor I'd lost about two pints of blood and the foetus was on the floor.' The hospital trust today apologised for the distress Ms Kenward suffered.
