Having to brave A&E as Dad's not better. Great start, queue is outside in the freezing weather, and the overflow waiting room is packed. Long Q just to talk to receptionist... Tories have fcked the NHS

Six hrs no Dr, so busy. Apparently Mondays are busiest, I wouldn't have guessed that

1-2 hrs for Dr apparently, gonna be a late night for us 🙃

Checking the NHS targets for A&E, my Dad has an arrhythmia (We think) - supposed to be discharged, admitted or transferred in 4hrs. It was around 7-8hrs before we saw a Dr at 2am! Then x-ray at 3:30am or so, I left at 4:30am and he hadn't been transferred to a ward and officially admitted. Unless admission to the A&E waiting ward counts?

Phew he texted me, now they think it's some fluid on his lungs. So that's a bit different and maybe better than heart stuff. Again the staff are amazing, it's terrible that they're treated so badly.
