"LOng long wait"

About: Burnley General Hospital

Bank Holiday Monday; attended with a 2nd degree burn/scald to my hand. Waiting time was over 4 hours. It was suggested hat I drive to Accrington where there were only a few waiting . Accrington were furious I'd been sent there as they only had 2 nurses on duty. Dreading going back to get it dressed and checked. Presumably another 4 hour wait.
