Fuck.

My wife and I were in this A&E 3 days later. She’d new lower body numbness appear some months into a broken back recovery. 101 said go straight there, this is a no fuck around situation.

We get there and are advised it’s a 12 hour wait, the place is rammed, ambulances are queuing and the corridors are full of gurneys and paramedics.

My wife at this point is in tears. The broken back means sitting for an hour on a shit waiting room chair is hard work. 12 literally can’t happen.

So we leave. What else can we do.

The situation was fucking awful, but I don’t blame the staff. I felt genuinely bad for all of them - there was just a complete lack of hope on any of their faces.
