I think it is disgusting how rotherham hospital staff treated my boyfriend the other day. He has got arthritis in both his knees and they have swollen 2x there normal size. He struggles to work n get up every morning. We went to A&E for them to help, waited 4 an a half hours, only for them to tell us that they wont help him because they are not that bad enough. i want to know, how bad does it need to be before they will help!
