"I was made to feel like I was wasting their time"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

I attended A & E in Lincoln yesterday and didn't receive an examination. I sat waiting for two hours and was seen by the doctor for less than a minute. He didn't examine my knee and told me not to dance or cycle which I found patronising as my knee is too sore to do anything like that. He smirked and made me feel like I was wasting his time. I left sad and deflated and in pain. I think A and E is pointless if you are not even examined by a doctor properly. I found the doctor unsympathetic and arrogant and will only come back if I'm lying dying on the side of the road and have no choice.
