I am very unhappy with the way a 83 year old lady was treated in a&e she was there from 12 20 pm and had more that doubled the 4 hour breach I was in a&e with my mum who was also there for over 5 hours and then sent home as there are no beds! Close your doors if you are full. Going back to the 83 year old woman who had knothing to drink or eat in all this time! And rude reception staff who did not care for anything or anyone when I asked for how many 4 hour breach there had been today they had refused to tell me. And when I mentioned having a meeting with a named doctor they stopped speaking to me all together. The old lady was scared as she had been told she could not go home because of her heart beat and been told she could have a heart attack.
