"Usually very satisfied but latest visit was a..."

About: Mount Vernon Hospital Site

Usually very satisfied but the latest visit for my wife taking my daughter to this hospital for daughter to be seen was very unhelpful. Daughter accidentally sat on a huge splinter at school in playhouse and wife rushed her to Mt Vernon hospital. After 2 hours of waiting daughter was obviously in a lot of pain and she saw a nurse who we presumed would attempt to take the splinter out but because daughter was crying (obviously) she would not treat her. Therefore nurse told them to go to Hillingdon hospital, which was rediculous. Here the doctor saw wife/daughter after another 1 hour wait and drive and the doctor kindly took the splinter out. He could not believe that Mt Vernon would not treat Miranda (my daughter).
