I went to A&E for an abcess on my armpit that needed to be drained. Although it was very busy when I got there I didn't have to wait long to see a triage nurse who was very friendly and informative. I then waited a little longer to see a Doctor who was brilliant. They took blood tests then said I needed to wait to see a surgeon they did explain that it might be a while as emergencies had come in which I understood. Whilst waiting members of staff showed me where to get a cup of tea from and always checked I was okay. The doctor kept me updated with when I was going to see the surgeon. Everyone was very caring. Once i saw the surgeon they decided to drain it, they explained everything to me and made a painful procedure go by quick. They were very professional. Couldn't fault anyone at all. Can't thank all the staff enough.
