MANCHESTER-The Elliot Hospital worker who was brutally attacked last week by a mentally ill patient suffered some brain injury and remains in critical condition, a relative said Thursday.
Donald Wyman, 52, has been in critical condition at Massachusetts General Hospital since July 8, when he was attacked by an emergency room patient. The patient, Ansel Kinglocke, 33, had languished in the Elliot emergency department for three days before the attack, waiting for a pyschiatric bed at the New Hampshire Hospital in Concord.
Wyman is the father of four children. He and his wife, Amy, had their youngest child just last year, according to Amy's brother, Adam Boroskas.
perfect example of how tragic is the care for mental patients. This never should have happened, and would not had the ER been able to move the patient to a more appropriate facility.
