"What a joke "

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

The system they have in place is set up more like a walk in centre not a a&e department, I have seen some things in my time but this was a cut above the rest. I felt like I was stuck in ikea with no way out, pelc and the hospital didn’t have a clue what each other was doing and by the time we was 4/5 hours into the wait we had completed two laps of the ground floor and felt more like a porter than a patient.

The staff offered no drinks or food and even tho they could see the amount of pain I was in didn’t even offer pain relief.

Since covid they are using the corridors as wards and they are lined with beds that are full of patients, I asked how long they had been there and most of then around two/three days it was like something from a third world country.

Covid isn’t an excuse anymore and clearly this hospital isn’t working and failing its patients and community.

Its clear to see how the nhs is falling apart at the seems and when asked about the doctors they highlighted they was seriously under staffed and this is again clear to see.

As a society we have come to accept this as normal, and the reality is this isn’t normal and something needs to be done and government needs to be held accountable for its actions and cuts to the frontline services !
