Went to AnE on 15 Feb at 3 am due to chest pain n high bp. Was shocked to see the security sleeping n front desk with no staff . The security woke up when we walked towards her n asked what we wanted. She got a wheelchair for me n wheeled me in to wait while she went to the back to get the nurses. Lights at the front desk was also dimmed ! Quite an uncomfortable sight for an AnE as I questioned its preparedness n I silently regretted going...
Was wheeled into a room for nurses to do ecg n call the doctor. Was fine till I asked for some water. The male nurse replied that the water machine was just outside n I could get some. I asked him if he meant I should get out of bed n get water...he replied my husband could do it ! Was totally taken aback by this so called service !
The Specialist I was seeing told the AnE doctor to attend to me first. The doctor came n spoke with me but did not even check me up n left.
Fortunately I did not have to wait too long to get a room.
The AnE experience was far from pleasant compared to the AnE at Parkway East Hospital.
I wonder in a real emergency if they can respond quick enough to save lives !!!????
