I came into the A&E on Friday evening at 7pm. My dr sent me for an emergency mri. I went for bloods done at 9pm and was told to just sit and wait. I was in no pain at 7pm when I came in. Sitting in them uncomfortable chairs for 13 hours I was in extreme agony. I needed to stay for the mri as I have been so ill. I'm 62 years of age and incontinent now. But 13 hours was really taxing on my body. You need to get some comfortable chairs in there. I witnessed a lot of people in a lot of pain. Woman crying. Men trying to get comfortable on the floor. The staff I saw asked how much pain I was in. I told them I was a 9. Nothing was done. The staff I saw at 8.30 were great. I didn't have any problems with the staff at all. Them chairs need to be removed. The vulnerable and the sick need care. Starting with them horrible chairs
