Nil-by-mouth dementia sufferer is left without food or water for FIVE DAYS after her operation is repeatedly cancelled. 1  Irene Lowe, 84, broke her shoulder in a fall at home. 2  Was admitted to University Hospital of North Staffordshire for surgery. 3  Was told she could not have food or water before the operation.

In hot conditions with no water, dehydration can set in within an hour. A baby locked in a hot car or someone who is physically overexerted in the heat without replacing fluids can actually die in a period of several hours. Humans need water to live, plain and simple. We lose water through sweat, urine, feces and even breathing.
