I have had to visit the A&E dept 8 times in the last year for myself. Some times more life threatening then others. The staff here are working in extreme conditions, with limited resources as so many cuts etc etc. The last time i was brought in by ambulance with severe chest pains and shortness of breath, & possible blood clots to lungs. Due to my previous history of pulmonary embolism, it was highly likely. I was treated with upmost respect and dignity. Also as I’m high risk etc was seen very quickly. Everything was explained to me throughout all the tests etc and I felt like I was in safe hands. The staff made me feel at was and made me laugh and I thank them so much for that. That in itself it’s worth it’s weight it gold!
