The a&e department is hell, the waiting time is ridiculous. You will be waiting about 2 hours from the first point. Depending on where you go but majors you are then waiting another 2-3 hours just to get a bed/ have bloods taken. Then you are waiting another 3-4 hours to see a doctor with your results. I used to be in a&e regular with an ongoing issue so i went through this process often, its ridiculous. Then whilst i was waiting to have surgery i had a pre op done and was told i could be on the waiting list for the surgery for up to 6 months. 6 months had gone by so i phoned up to question why i had not heard anything and it turned out the surgeon i saw didn't even put me on the waiting list. So i had to wait even longer...i was put on the priority list due to my problem becoming more serious. Thankfully only another few months went by before i could get my surgery. Was ridiculous the amount of a&e trips i had to take, atleast one every two weeks for nearly a year with a flare up. I should have taken it further but 17 year old me didn't think to log all the information down and neither did my parents.
