SHAME on The Northern General A&E in Sheffield where a friend and colleague with a shattered lower leg was kept waiting for more than two hours to be seen - and then only after much prompting by her husband.She was in unnecessary agony all that time! She went on to undergo complicated surgery.
So, whatever happened to triage?
Why is it that you get better treatment if brought in by ambulance than by a friend or relative?
(This is the same hospital which ignored the DNR my Mum had in place during her final illness three months ago but which rather fortuitously did not prove disastrous.)
