"Very long wait"

i came in for a wrist injury and needed an xray. i arrived at midnight as per instructions from 111.

i was left waiting all night until 8am when things started moving along and getting seen to and getting my xrays.

i was then told after asking why i was waiting so long that there was no one in to do this until 7.30 when the day shift comes in.

so instead of being told nothing can be done till tomorrow and letting me come back later i was left in a&e for 8 hours.

this bad enough for a healthy person but i am a diabetic t2 treated with insulin with no access to my insulin as i didnt bring it with me as I did not expect to be there all night. So i could not eat for risk of raising my blood sugar to much.

There was also 3-4 other people also waiting for xrays but at least 1 of those left in the early hours. By the time I found out what was happening (around 4.30am) i thought theres not much point going home and coming back a few hours later so just stayed.

No one should of just been left for 8 hours
