I came in for chest pain, heart palpitations and difficulty breathing. It took 2 hours to get an ECG, 4 hours to get a blood test and 6 hours to get pain relief. Any questioning for updates is met with dismissive and rude "you have to sit and wait" comments from staff, even when just asking what the next steps are in the process. I completely understand that more important and urgent cases need to be seen first. I get this. But the attitude from staff, the lack of any care for patients who are just left to wait and suffer is appalling. Two people next to me were partially paralysed and were made to wait upwards of 13 hours. I will never be coming back here.
