Went to A&E at 6.30pm on a Fri evening, it was not very crowded but by the time I seen the doc it was already beyond 8.30pm and finally took my medicine at 9pm. Felt that the hospital was understaffed, there were only a few doctors available though there were numerous consultation rooms. The upfront fees to pay at registration was $121(no subsidies mind you!), which I felt was grossly overcharged for the waiting time and lack of medical staffs. Felt really sorry for those in need of urgent care, there was a young man with bruises after a motor accident ahead of me, he also waited more than 2 hours. Also a lady with severe stomach upset and was vomiting so much, she was so ill till she was lying down on the seats to rest, no one attempted to help her though it claimed to be A&E. Very disappointing experience, I wound have gone to a private hospital with such charges and experience. Will never go back there again unless I have no choice..
