Sat and waited with countless others for 6 hours for simple blood results. The reason for the wait was that "acutely ill" patients took priority. However, the treatment room was seemingly full of people under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Some Staff rude and didn't like being approached to be asked about the long wait times. Couple of them were sarcastic in their responses and talked down to people as if they were children. When it reached the early hours of the morning two patients who had been there for more than 6 hours left the emergency department because they still hadn't been seen by a doctor.
