Woman ‘mortified’ by hospital strip ordeal

A patient on a hospital stretcher who was asked to remove some of her clothing in public has spoken out about her ordeal.

Lyndsay Forde said she felt mortified by the request from a member of staff at Wexford General Hospital and is still haunted by it.

The 27-year-old mother-of-one was involved in a crash on Wexford’s quay front and was brought by ambulance to the hospital suffering from whiplash.
