I have been to this a&e many times over the years n never really feel I have a answer to my problem when I leave, but when my 7 month old son woke up with a strange movement to his eye I took him straight to a&e to be treated like I was crazy and got palmed off to see a doctor In the walk in centre once again their attitude towards me was like I was being stupid was told go home and that my son may have a squint which they could see no sign of themselves that was the best answer they could give me go Home see how it goes I was told Not happy with that I took my son to the rvi they were fantastic straight away he was treated it's now two weeks later I have found out my son has a rare brain tumor behind his eye and is currently undergoing his first cycle of chemotherapy I can't imagine what the outcome could of been if I had of just took that it was a squint and gone home.
