"A&E"

About: Wythenshawe Hospital

I broke and dislocated my elbow one night, and I thought the way I was spoke to and delt with by the a&e staff was appalling. They made me sit there for 9 hours screaming in pain and vomiting before they finally did something, every time I asked for help, treatment or painkillers I was told to wait my turn and sit down. I thought they were extremely ignorant and rude to me and when I finally got to see a doctor he was gobsmacked that I had been sat there for 9 hours, and said I should have been rushed through straight away.
