I had a fall and hurt my chest and hand as breathing was very painful and difficult, I came to a&e. They took my details and asked me to sit and wait to be called. The screen in front of me wasn't working, so I didn't spot wait time ... but for an injury, it said 2 hours (which I spotted 3 hours in). I gave it another hour, then as my breathing had improved and swelling on hand not too bad, I asked reception to take me off the list as I was going home. Only to be told that I wasn't on the list!... With me registering I was worried about my breathing, this could have been worse. It was fairly busy, so I didn't want to hassle about my wait time ... turns out I should! I was very disappointed and I could have been waiting for hours.
