Terry Wulff couldn’t hold it any longer.

In his weakened state, he lifted a nearly full urine container to try to use it to relieve himself. He says he had called for help and waited as long as he could for Royal University Hospital’s emergency room staff to assist him.

The container spilled urine all over Wulff, covering him from his shoulder down. He says he yelled out again for help, but no one came and he ended up lying in his own urine for nearly three hours in the early morning of Nov. 5.

Wulff said he isn’t considering a lawsuit or similar action — he’s not speaking out for personal gain.

“I want to make sure that some poor guy that comes behind me doesn’t go through what I went through,” he said.

It all started when Wulff awoke at 2 a.m. and nearly fainted in the hallway of his home. He woke his wife Janine, who took the 64-year-old to the emergency room, where he was soon attended to by a nurse who helped him stay upright in an ER wheelchair.
