Was in great pain. Went to urgent care centre. Waited for two hours. Hardly anyone was called in. Realised there was no doctor, but a triage nurse. The people next to me had been waiting for three hours with a sick child. Then the nurse put his jacket on and left. We tried going to Barnet hospital but couldn't get to reception for the crowds. I could not sit or stand, was in so much pain I had to just go home. A few days later I was completely immobile. My son came and drove me to University College Hospital A&E. Within two hours I was seen by a doctor, checked and x-rayed and given stronger painkillers than the one's my GP had prescribed. They keep me going. He apologised that due to budget he couldn't do a scan but as my GP had referred me to a muscular/skeletal specialist they would be able to do so. However Chase Farm have "diagnosed" me without even seeing me and decided I need physiotherapy.
