It's the worse place to go in an emergency for treatment. You have to wait for hours.

Waiting time is long but the doctors are good

The waiting time is really long, it can take hours waiting. Generally they are very good, polite and the doctors listen and are helpful.

The midwife shouted at me

Maternity

I had my twins 6 months ago, I had a C-section. I had a bad experience with the midwife after my surgery. She was shouting at me because my legs were numb. She refused to listen to me. Everyone else was lovely.

8 hour waits

They aren't as helpful as they used to be. A 7-8 hour wait. They just make you sit and wait, no information. It's hard when you just want someone to see your children.
