ONLY Fools And Horses star Patrick Murray has been left furious following a ten hour A&E wait amid his cancer battle.
Patrick, 66, announced in April that the disease had returned after getting the all clear from lung cancer last year.
In a tweet posted to X at 2:30am today, he told fans he'd gone home after not being seen by a medical professional.
The actor wrote, "Ten hours waiting in A&E is unacceptable. I gave up and went home. The workers are wonderful, but the system is seriously flawed. The NHS needs fixing, not hollow promises."
Patrick – best known for playing Mickey Pearce in Only Fools and Horses – recently told how the disease has now spread to his pelvis and legs.
He said: "Despite all the wonderful efforts by the medical and nursing teams at Medway, Guys, and Kings College hospitals, the lung cancer has returned.

"What about the good news? I had radiology treatment last week and my oncologist is fairly confident this will stop the leg pain, and I will be up and about again.
"Another positive is my consultant. He is confident that the chemo will keep things in check for months and even years."
Patrick continued: "His optimism comes not from kindness of which I know he has in spades, but advances in cancer medicine.
