"A&E experience"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Accident & Emergency

(as the patient),

I went to visit A&E at Glasgow Royal Infirmary to get my injuries checked over. The staff were more than helpful this time which was appreciated, but didn’t like that it was so busy, 6 hr wait time, and the fact the police a few officers were there dealing with someone who was acting disorderly, it is a hospital for people with injuries not for police matters, I don’t wish to see that and find unsettling when am there to wait my injuries and wellbeing

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.
