on Thursday 16th April my son needed medical attention, so we arrived at 5pm i thought he still go to children's A&E as he still at school and just turned 16 and i had accompanied him . but no he had to go to urgent care and wait an hour just to see a doctor just to get referred back to adult a&e and wait another 2 hours in the yellow zone in which they had to do a x ray and get the results , i know this takes time but i asked when we will be seen after waiting for an hour again in the yellow zone after the x ray i was snapped at with just waiting for the doctor , we were seen about 15 minutes later by a nurse saying the doctor had to go somewhere (i understood this) then the nurse saw my son and said yes you broke a bone and we need to strap this and said to take paracetamol for pain relief and wait for fracture clinic to contact you . but i noticed on the computer screen my son name was in red . i want to know what this means ???
