I need some advice about the procedure in Scotland.
I had a very frightening and worrying thing happen last week. My wife fell as she got from her stairlift to her Zimmer and ended up in a twisted position on the floor.
I moved her so she was lying comfortably, and she screamed at me as it was painful. ( She is waiting to see a lymphoedema specialist).
The doorbell rang, I opened the door and two policemen pushed their way in, one put handcuffs on me and the other went upstairs. Four more police arrived. It seems that a neighbour heard my wife scream and called them.
The police called the care company who sent two carers to look after her while I was taken to a police station where I was fingerprinted and then given a lift back home.
As far as I can remember I was not charged with anything, but I was so shocked and confused I am not certain.
Does anyone know how long things take. I asked one of the police and he said a report would be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.How long before I hear from them?I hope they realise it was a misunderstanding. The carers now say to my wife not to yell while they change her.
