Man's vigil at wrong hospital bed

Well, this is a sad story indeed.

I wonder if it had been quite some time since he last had seen his mother and thereby wrong identified her as his mother?

A series of errors led to a man holding vigil at the bedside of a woman he wrongly believed to be his sick mother.

Nurses called the man to the Conquest Hospital in Hastings, East Sussex, last March, saying his mother was dying.

He identified the wrong patient and sat with her as his real mother lay dead in a nearby room. Another family was wrongly told their mother was dead. ...........
