I attended A&E with a head injury (and loss of consciousness) and shoulder injury (with instability) at 2.30 and left at about 7pm
I am a doctor. So know a bit of what to expect.
My main observations are
1. that while everyone I met was pleasant, not one person introduced themselves by name (are they aware of #hellomynameis?)
2. Although I was knocked unconscious and had some transient confusion I didn't have a CT brain scan
3. Although my shoulder was X-rayed nobody examined it. (it feels unstable and is still very painful on abduction with rotation)
I was too tired, sore (and concussed) to raise my concerns/ give feedback at the time
