I visited A&E today after displaying symptoms of an allergic reaction to medication. I had such bad chest pains struggling to breathe, which was partly due to me having a panic attack, the nurse did not try to reassure me or show any kind of empathy, she just said you will have to wait in the waiting area like everyone else. The waiting area was full and I had to stand up for over four hours. The area had sick on the floor, sick buckets and empty bottles all over the floor. Staff just walked past it all.
The hygiene in the hospital is horrendous, staff not in proper uniform, sat in the assessment rooms in coats with food and drink at their desk.
I’d avoid attending this A&E if you are wanting to be treated correctly.
