Went to A&E last evening with my husband who was refered by our local GP.What a joke! We waited for 5 hrs after seeing a triage nurse and taken to a side unit,the nurse was extremely understanding and helpful bringing us both a hot drink this was 11.45pm.A porter came a while later and took us to EMSU ward and a further wait of 3 hrs to see the doctor and to be told my husband could go home. I feel like we would have waited a lot longer if we hadn,t insisted on the long wait.Everyone is so busy but I feel 8hrs is beyond acceptance.
