"Disgrace!"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

I went to darlington hospital with servers headaches , to be greeted by a unhappy very arrogant receptionist , then I waited two and a half hours I was then put in a eye examination room to have my bloods done on a table that had only a bit of space because it was took up by eye examination equipment only for the doctor to ask my parter to help him hold the blood canister because there was no other assistant with him , I had recently quit smoking and I'm on e lights and I asked him if the headaches could be to do with them only for him to say I don't know research it on the internet erm... Hello and you supposed to be qualified as a doctor, also my relative has endometriosis and was in there two weeks ago she had to do a urine sample only for us to be waiting nearly an hour because they lost the sample . And also when I was giving birth to my son the nurse that was with me told me to be quiet and stop screaming
