THE distraught family of a man who went missing while being treated at the Royal Derby Hospital almost two weeks ago are urging him to get in touch.
Ricky Hill, 30, of Somercotes, was last seen at the hospital on Tuesday, September 23, at 8.30am but his wife Dawn said nothing has been heard from him since.
She said: "I am very worried about him because of his state of mind when he went missing and his bank account has not been touched at all. It is so unusual for him not to be in touch with me."
"We are all going out of minds with worry, especially his father, Steven, who is tramping the streets night and day looking for him.
"I am really worried that something has happened to him but we are all praying he is ok. I want him to call us or anyone who might have seen him to tell the police."
Mrs Hill said that the family had made posters and put them up in as many places as possible to try and jog someone's memory.
His father, Steven, added: "Please, please Ricky get in touch, you're my boy."
He is described as white, of medium build, with short blonde hair and tattoos on his left arm.
He was last seen wearing grey jeans, a grey v-necked fitted jumper, a black TN cap and black-and-white Nike trainers.
Police are appealing for anyone with information of his whereabouts, or anyone who may have seen him, to contact Amber Valley CID on 101.
