Michaeldyn Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 well if you go to the walk in centre they can refer you to the a&e next day if you need further treatment. also if the gp sends you in the hospital sometimes you have to report to a&e reception first afaik (don't know if this has changed). He can't be that poorly if he is fit enough to make tea and sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 They was attending to drunk people that was injured in fight or accidents. If you need A&E, the best time is something like Tuesday evening. It's hardly the fault of the staff if they are overwhelmed with drunk football fans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one with more then a few brain cell would have work out it need stitches. It took the person less then 5 minutes to do it, so why was he kept waiting for 5hours?

You never see the trauma incidents coming in from the waiting room, they're the cases that are prioritised and take time ( and large teams) to treat.

He was kept waiting due to medical needs. A small cut with a few stitches is below things like I dunno, a cardiac arrest or infarction, asthma, burns, blunt force trauma from a road accident, appendicitis, etc. There are things called minor injury units - you would get far faster treatment there as this is what they are designed for.

Sometimes the repairs can be quick but also complex. For example there are numerous structures that if stitched up incorrectly can result in life-long problems. Nerves, tendons etc... If the doctor that can do the work is busy doing other things it is best to wait for them to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not see other people there, also waiting? Did you not think that perhaps they triage patients and deal with the ones who simply can't wait first?
