Ridiculously long waiting time. My husband was admitted by ambulance with a suspected stroke. Taken straight for a CT scan then brought back to A&E and left unattended for almost 4 hours.No observations done at all in that time.I had to keep asking when someone would come to check on him. I appreciate they were busy but thought that he should have been monitored closely if they suspected a stroke (F.A.S.T) .
Was eventually given aspirin after 4 hours and moved to a ward after nearly 12 hours in A& E.
Not acceptable for stroke patients.
"Dreadful avoid if possible"
