I attended on Thursday night at 23: 30hrs due to a hand injury. I was sent to "minors" and waited for over 2hrs, only to be told I would be waiting at least another 5hrs to be seen by a nurse who would then decide if I needed an x-ray (which I did need). I walked out in disgust at the lack of ability to decision make, professionalism and basic ability to have any common sense.
It is common sense that the first triage nurse sends you to the right area of need ie: xray, bloods, etc.. Not to another waiting room to lose the will to live waiting for another nurse to make the same decision. Minors also closes at 2am, so if you haven't been seen, you join the Majors waiting list!
