Like waiting in a cesspool

"Like waiting in a cesspool"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

On previous visits I've seen dried blood on the floor and walls where it evidently wasn't cleaned up properly.

The place is grimey, accident and emergency staff seem to spend more time chatting with each other, eating crisps and drinking than they do actually seeing those attending A&E, at least on the experience of my latest visit.

I really hope that if anything happens to me- I have to go to James Cook University hospital for treatment instead of this dump.
