"Disgusting service"

About: Torbay Hospital

Came here for shooting pains down my side, at 2am this morning. Not being able to breath properly

3 in front waiting thought oh great, nice and quiete and will be agreat service that NHS should deliver, instead I'm sat here for 1 hour and 5 minutes and not one person has been called through. I find that this service is disgusting, and I have just walked out of the hospital in pain, as I am not sitting in these plastic bucket seats, causing me more pain as it is

After previous dealings with this hospital after approximately 2 years ago, where I had a pushbike accident, they were great until they realised I didn't have a neck or back injury. After that I was shoved in a corridor, and then sent home 7 hours later with dried blood over my face and hands. And grit in my face which is greatly healed over with a nice mark of it in my face within the scarring, the nhs has disappointing me in the two occasions that I need it, quite frankly with the accident have left me with a low self confidence and a destroyed face! I should really pick a fight with this as I believe it should be rectified how they believe that they can get away with this I do not know.

Overall both my A&E visits within Torbay have been extremely dissatisfying. Take a step back and sort yourself out!!!!
