"what am i suposed to do ?"

About: Kettering General Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

About tea time my foot started to hurt. Not aware that I had twisted or hurt it in the day, this concerned me, as I could not put any weight on my toes which made walking painful. So I decided to sleep on it and see what it was like in the morning. When I woke, it was still the same. Knowing it takes 3 weeks to get an appointment at Higham Ferrers surgery, don’t ask me why but it does, I decided to go to A&E at Kettering General hospital. After about 10 min wait, I got to see the assessment nurse as it was empty. As I sat down she stated it will probably one of the busiest days of the year and you have come in here because your toe hurts, what do you want me to do about it?, to which I replied "its all of my toes and it would be nice if someone looked at them" so she asked me to remove my shoe and sock. She then glanced at it from a distance and said I can’t see any thing wrong with your foot, if it hurts take some pain killers. And hospital wonders why people get upset at A&E!?
