Arrived at hospital at 12.00 with my son that fell out of bed with a ankle that had tripled in size and a deep cut to his arm . Was checked in and seen by the nurse about 10 mins wait told the nurse the information needed then was told would be a 1.5-2 hour wait at this point to see the Doctor was sent to waiting area not even applied a dressing to arm . After 4 hours of waiting asked were we near to being seen then was told we had 4 more before us . I explained I had to get home as had a child at home and needed to get my partner up as he's deaf and I'm his alarm clock . Eventually I was seen by a nurse again after having a rant they then decided to have an x ray then they decided to put a dressing on his arm after I made a fuss . Eventually at 5 o'clock we were seen by the doctor for 5 mins said nothing was broken and then was seen by a nurse to put stitches on his arm . Got home at 6 in the morning would not go there again being new to area a big disappointment
