Courtney Stewart Waits Three Hours for Ambulance

Courtney Stewart, a player for Partick Thistle, experienced a serious head injury during a match against Rangers and had to wait approximately three hours for an ambulance to arrive, prompting critical comments from her coach, Brian Graham. The incident occurred just 10 minutes into the game, and despite the medical team's immediate response, Stewart was not transported to the hospital until after 5 PM, following a seizure and efforts to keep her awake. Graham expressed that such delays would not occur in men's football, highlighting systemic issues within the emergency services. Stewart remains hospitalized but is reported to be awake and alert, with clear CT scans and X-rays. The incident has reignited discussions about NHS delays, with calls for improvements in the ambulance response for serious injuries in women's sports. Stewart expressed gratitude for the support she received while awaiting medical attention.
