8 hour wait in car park very short staffed
Had to go to a and e for urgent treatment of condition that had previously led to sepsis. Waited 8 hours in car park before being seen by doctor ....packed inside and out...no seats available and people literally laying on the concrete pavement outside waiting to be seen . By the time I was seen condition had progressed to stage of needing hospital admission and intravenous antibiotics. Waited another 2 hrs in chair incorridor before getting antibiotics, told no beds available in the wards but that they needed me to stay at hospital for treatment. Others in even worse position than me. Staff doing absolute best but only one doctor on duty and extremely busy !! Couldn’t believe this was happening in uk hospital !
