"Uncaring rude staff"

About: North Manchester General Hospital

I visited the A&E with a broken foot bone on the night of 19/9/15.

It took me 2 hours before I was seen by a nurse and after waiting another 2 hours I went back to the nurse complaining about the pain on my foot. They never gave me pain relief but instead told me in a rude manner that I still have a long time to wait before being seen by a doctor who will decide if I need x-ray. It was now 230am and I went back to my house in pain (I didn't know I had a broken bone). Next morning my husband took me to MRI A&E and the nurse saw me in 10 minutes, gave me pain relief and sent for X-ray. Only to discover I had broken bone on my foot and they plastered my foot and gave me crutches.
