Waiting in accident and emergency

"Waiting in accident and emergency"

About: Victoria Hospital / Accident & Emergency

(as a service user),

I called NHS 24 after suffering a fall downstairs 2 days ago. I have severe (very dark purple) bruising on my hip which is swollen and hard. It has begun tracking down my leg and very painful.

I was told to go to A&E immediately. I attended Vic hospital and checked in at 16:30. In a lot of pain. Lower back hip pelvis area.  I have been triaged but am still waiting 3 hours later.

 I feel this is an absolute disgrace.
