A lot of the staff unhelpful, waiting time too long, from experience, partner went to the a&e on advice of doctor as suffering from a very severe headache for 3 days, waited ages for triage, then about another hour to see the doctor, who then went away and returned about an hour later, partner then was told go home take paracetomol, as you have an ear infection, stop smoking and drinking and you will be fine. 2 days later partner was admitted unconcious, on life support for 5 days. What did he have meningitus, this would not have happened and he could have been treated earlier if the doctor in the a&e had done her job properly
