"Waiting time"

About: New Cross Hospital / Accident and emergency

I was discusted with the time that you have to wait. I think the new A and E the staff can't cope. There were trollies in the corridor and waiting to see a doctor was 4 hours. I was there all night with my sister, she was in a lot of pain because she had broken hip and and waiting 2 days for the operation and only had paracetamol. I have raised thousands of pounds with my charity work in the past, but I can not believe the way it has gone. I am discusted.
