The son of a Glasgow pensioner who was left paralysed after suffering a stroke last year fears alleged medication delays could cause him to have a seizure
. John Wheeler, who suffers from epilepsy, has been told to take his tablets at 7.30am daily but requires help from carers to do so.
John Jr, 38, told GlasgowLive: "His stroke has left him paralysed and he has very poor mobility. He has a seizure every couple of weeks and is on medication for that. "My dad is really upset about it. He needs to have his medication at that certain time and needs help to get out of bed. I am worried my dad will have a severe seizure if he doesn't have his medication on time, something bad could happen.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership said: "Home Care Staff spoke to Mr Wheeler on July 10 about his concerns and he has kindly agreed to leave the medication out so his dad can take it himself, should he need to.
