"Had excruciating pain all down my leg"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

I attended A&E at 12.30am in agony and struggling to walk. I was told to take a seat (should have been a sleeping bag). There were only 2 other people in the waiting room when I arrived. I sat and waited 4 and a half hours to been seen and given pain relief tablets. I am not annoyed with the staff just the length of time I waited with just 2 people ahead of me.
