I am a 77 year old man.
I have had a bad cough, wheezy and crackilng chest for a few days and unable to sleep.
I went to the Urgent Treatment Centre 06.50 on Sunday morning.
There was only one patient in the waiting area - a small girl with her parents.
After waiting for two hours I asked how much longer I would have to wait.
I was told that I was top of the list but they would be dealing with children first.
I went back to my seat. During the next 15 minutes, 3 more parents and children arrived.
I dawned on me that I could be waiting all day so I went home.
I have had excellent servicew from the UTC in past on several occasions - I may try dialling 111 next time I want see a Doctor
