Story from nhs.uk

"Waiting time too excessive for ill patient"

About: Royal Hallamshire Hospital

What I liked

nothing

What could be improved

information given to waiting patients

Anything else?

I suffer from ms and for several months been in extreme pain on a daily basis severely affecting all aspects of life. Given this , i physically was unable to wait any longer to be seen and had to leave after sitting in waiting room for 80 mins. This decision was taken out of neccessity and not impatience.
