"painfull visit"

About: Ripley Hospital

on having severe pain in my right leg [due to old injury,metal pins in thigh bone] cant walk more than five steps when leg gets severe pains and must stop! cant go on [2 weeks to see doc] in desperation i go to ripley,only to be told that i would recieve no x-ray no treatment,might have a look at it,but you will have to wait hours and to consider going home whilst waiting, I felt let down by the condecending nurse,who would have loved to cut to the chase and say 'just go home' Any way i decided to wait,incredibly,not one patient was seen for half an hour,lots of people walking about with bits of paper,but not one person went through those doors! The nurse got her own way,i went home.DEVERSTATED.
