I visited the A&E Department at QMC 20th April 2021 for severe back pain. I checked in at the Reception and was served by a member of staff who I felt didn't want to be there, he was constantly having to be corrected and didn't ask the relevant questions about any current medical conditions (I'm type 1 diabetic) I was then sat in A&E for 4 hours before going in to see the GP, the GP was mortified that I was left there for 4 hours, wasn't triaged or offered any painkillers. The GP also found that my heart rate had sky rocketed to 130+ I was then finally moved across to have my vitals checked before I was taken into a first contact ward to be monitored for both my severe back pain and racing heart rate.
Given the opportunity I wouldn't visit QMC again but unfortunately there is no other A&E Department available.
"Very bad experience "
