(as the patient),

hi I have got epilepsy and I had a fall and cut my head open. At first I was told that no ambulances are available so had to wait over 10 minutes then I was taken into A&E and had to wait 20 mins before I could be signed in. After another 15 minutes waiting on the bed I was taken to a cubicle bed and had to wait 4 hours just to be told by a nurse that my had will be glued. I did not have any test or scans also I had several fits while I was up there and they were witnessed by a nurse and a paramedic. After I was all glued up I was sent home
