"A&e trip."

About: Tameside General Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as other),

Twice I have taken my partner to a&e at tameside hospital this week. She has been severely poorly and as advised by the 111 help line I took her to a&e.

I understood the waiting times as the hospital was busy on both occasions the first time we visited we were left with an answer that didn't fit, 2 days later we were back and a completely different diagnosis was different. all the the "doctor" did was poke her belly and said she was poorly due to drinking fizzy pop(which she doesn't drink a lot of). This had nothing to with the reason we went but they were rather happy to fob us off after being rude to us!

After asking for a second opinion and getting treated appalling as the second nurse did not even check her over I chose to leave the hospital!

This hospital is not even worth the lowest mark in patient care! I will never use your hospital again, and I do think your doctors need a lesson is actually asking the patient what's wrong! Only good side is the ladies at reception were excellent.
