VICTORIA, Australia — A GRANDFATHER who will spend the rest of his life in a vegetative state is suing the ambulance service after waiting 13 hours for help after hitting his head.
Katrina Marinovic is bringing the Supreme Court action — believed to be potentially worth more than $1 million — on behalf of her father, Ilija, who now has little brain function and is fed through a tube.
Ms Marinovic says her father fell and hit his head at 8pm on October 26, 2006, but was forced to wait until 9.30am the next day for treatment after a mix-up meant an ambulance was sent but then cancelled.
