"Worst A&E ever"

About: Whipps Cross University Hospital

I was in a car accident and taken to this a&e in an ambulance and waited for 10 hours total even though I was in a head impact accident and had glass all over me. Genuinely never waited anywhere that long to be seen. Not only that the doctor who did see me was quite ignorant and did not do a full body check despite me saying I was in a car accident although I had another lovely doctor come and examine me. The reception nurses are rude and said I was low priority and for that I waited from 8:30pm to 4am to be seen and when I was seen the first doctor just wiped me down with water and no checks. I will never be coming to this hospital again and I don’t recommend any one else to. Quite a few people had left because of how long the wait time is. It’s ridiculous.
