"Kids a&e and my experience"

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

I'm discusted the was I was treated, I was summited to a&e by 111 as soon as possible because I was coughing up white stuff and was havering extreme chest pains , when arriving I was made to wait 1hour just to sign in although the person was sitting right infront of us having a chat n a laugh with a ambulance driver ,a person who worked in the hospital walked passed n I asked politely if I could get some help they then started moaning at me going well ur gonna have to wait n wouldt get anyone for me alothogh I was the only one in the line and it wasn't busy ,after the person finally came over and was extremely rude laughing going oh ur waiting and when I explained what wrong they were trying to have a debait with me instead of help saying oh well how did I get hear then n asking what school I go to then said oh well uno where to go when I didt. Once in the kids department I was seen to and the person sent me of to get my heart checked I payed down on the bed and was made to remove my clothes although I had no bra on and I felt so uncomfortable the person was taking their time chatting whilst doing it I felt humiliated the curtain wasn't shut either finally 7 hours later when the doctor came over they were the rudest by far rushing me to get out the bed although I felt dizzy and weak again they treated me like we was having a debate instead of helping no one helped me out the bed and then they just gave my medications and left me there. Over all I would never go there again I'm 15 and I'm discusted the way they treated me u would thought they would be abit nicer seen as I'm a child.
