Over crowded appalling service at A&E

Accident and emergency services
April 21, 2024
Sent to a dirty overcrowded A&E by my GP after for an x ray after serious neurological concerns when I suddenly couldn't place my foot to the ground. Eventually had the x ray 6 hours later. Wasn't examined and referred to the fracture clinic. When I attended the clinic a week later they said why are you here? You should be seeing a neurologist. Wasted my time and may impact on my health and also wasted an appointment for someone else. A&E is unfit for purpose.
