My friend was on the bus a suffered facial injurys but at home now,his supervisor said it’s only a scratch
Hi, do you happen to know where the 73-year-old man has been taken to or does your friend know anything? I know him and have had no help from Warrington Hospital or the police to find out where he has been taken. Mainly because of the personal details and the fact that he or someone he thinks has registered him at the hospital (I don’t know which one) under the wrong name so they can’t find him on the system. He’s not 73 so I think there may be a problem with his name on the system. All his family tried to contact him but his phone is dead. His daughter has been calling local hospitals but no one has been on his real name. He’s not at home so he must still be in hospital. Any information would be appreciated.
