Too much to list about how shambolic this, department actually is. The funny thing about this slaughterhouse are the posters that informing you of their dignity in care, then they leave you on a trolley in a corridor. This is the most dignified way to treat a person with major anxiety problems while in excruciating pain as i'm vomiting profusely in front of strangers wandering around the A+E department. Then on one occasion myself and my Wife witnessed a gentleman with mental health issues get up and leave the dpartment after being spoken to like absolute garbage, when a junior nurse informed the head of triage that that patient was at high risk of suicide the reply gobsmacked me and my wife, the head nurse just flippantly said "ah leave him". We left the department soon afterwards. It's a real pity that when i'm needing an ambulance for my condition they have to take me to this dreadful place. There is no funding problem with this A+E department, just an attitude problem from half the nurses and doctors.
