I was having gall stones pain for over a year, have been going back and forth to A&E - sat there for 5-6 hours and they have packed me with painkillers and sending me home. It got to the point the pain was just too much to handle I had to go back… Sat there for other 6 hours, vomiting and with fever
This has been my Dr. surgery for going on 6 years and I have always had a positive experience. The staff and care team, although often very busy, are knowledgeable, and always courteous and professional
I wouldn’t expect this in the UK in 2021, I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. It was a very distressing experience
