"My focus was on my patient, not on my car!"

Cathy Gibbons, a pediatrician working in Temple Street hospital, was called in last night to attend to a critically ill child. Due to limited parking spaces, she left her car outside the hospital paying for the maximum stay. However, her day became a twelve hour day and she left to find her car had been clamped. This was her third time being clamped at work. She spoke to Andrea about her frustration at the lack of parking and allowance made for health workers that are attending an emergency situation.
