Due
to
being
accident
prone,
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
A
and
E
numerous
times.
Over
the
years,
they
have
renovated
it
a
few
times,
to
make
it
SMALLER,
Even
though
there
are
more
people
now
than
ever
in
Wrexham,
with
the
University,
City
Status
etc.
The
Medical
staff
are
halved.
The
longest
I
had
ever
had
to
wait
in
any
A
and
E
is
12
hours,
until
4th
June
2023.
My
daughter
had
to
rush
me
in
as
I
been
experiencing
severe
stomach
pains
on
the
right
side,
vomiting
etc
for
3
days.
We
arrived
at
1pm.
The
waiting
room
was
standing
room
only
by
then.
I
suffer
from
anxiety
and
my
major
trigger
are
crowds,
so
I
wanted
to
go
back
home.
But
no.
Anyway,
it
took
quite
a
few
hours
to
be
seen
by
the
1st
doctor,
who
diagnosed
appendicitis
and
prescribed
painkillers
for
the
moment,
And
he
was
going
to
bring
the
surgeon
registrar
to
confirm.
Back
to
waiting
room.
No
painkillers.
12.05
am
5th,
registrar
arrives,
diagnosed
appendicitis,
being
admitted
for
surgery,
but
no
bed
in
SAU
so
had
to
wait
in
a
and
e.
Still
no
painkillers.
BTW,
my
daughter
kept
asking
about
painkillers.
By
12.30,
I
decided
to
sign
myself
out,
but
was
persuaded
to
have
intravenous
antibiotics
1st.
Still
in
the
waiting
room
were
10
people
waiting
for
beds,
4
of
which
for
SAU,
and
all
before
me.
I
signed
myself
out.
Later
that
morning
I
was
back
,
pain
worse.
Couldn't
eat,
sleep
or
drink.
After
4
hours
of
waiting
to
be
seen
again,
I
was
told
I
was
not
waiting
to
see
a
doctor
because
they
knew
what
was
wrong,
I
was
waiting
to
go
up
to
SAU.
no
one
had
to
me.
Obviously
no
beds
again
and
even
more
people
waiting
for
one,
some
still
there
from
the
night
before.
This
time
they
gave
me
painkillers.
After
being
prodded
by
numerous
doctors,
all
expressing
it
was
appendicitis
BTW,
I
had
ct
scan
which
showed
it
wasn't.
They
didn't
know
what
it
was.
So
I
could
go
home.
No
explanation,
nothing.
Over
36
hours.
The
only
staff
who
were
concerned
about
the
patients
were
two
lovely
Red
Cross
ladies
who
offered
tea
and
Sandwiches.
I'm
sorry
but
the
department
was
filthy.
Nursing
staff,
Doctors
and
reception
staff
were
totally
unhelpful,
unsupportive,
and
no
duty
of
care
to
anyone.
There
were
worse
people
than
me
in
there,
and
they
left
them
there
in
waiting
room.
Triage
is
a
waste
of
time.
Some
staffed
lied
about
1
thing
or
another
to
someone.
I
have
been
told
to
remember
that
they
are
overworked,
under
stress
and
not
paid
enough.
But,
so
are
everyone
else
atm.
Its
not
unique
to
them.
Sorry.
