Anything else?
I attended this unit with my son and although seen fairly quickly, he was left on a trolley in the corridor area were the paramedics bring in the other patients. The doctor eventually saw him and said he was off to get some drugs for him. One hour later we were moved out of the room and put back in the corridor. The doctor never returned with the drugs. When he was sick it took a passing paramedic to come to his aid. Doctors and nurses seemed too busy to care and walked by. Eventually I tried to speak to someone, however it seemed impossible and I picked up my son and carried him back to the car in disgust. I appreciate the place was busy, however it is very clear that this facility is not fit for purpose or adequately staffed.
