I went to A&E on a Sunday morning because I had a problem with my vision - it was like looking through cobwebs. It didn’t feel like an emergency but an optician friend told me it was. I had to wait 5 hours because there was only one eye doctor on call, but when he came he was amazing. He said I had a torn retina which needed urgent treatment before it became detached. The eye treatment centre is closed at the weekend, but he asked Security to unlock it. He performed laser treatment there and then, and probably saved my vision in that eye.
Just for your information, his name is Dr Hussein, and it was on Sunday 8 August 2021.
