A 10 hour wait with a blood clot.

May 7, 2024
Long queues. 10 hours waiting time. You can die before you get seen. I had a blood clot in my leg and they left me waiting and then finally gave me medication and sent me on my way. It's so busy and they aren't properly assessing patients.

My dad was admitted to the QE after a heart attack but he was discharged within a few days. He came back home and had another heart attack and died at home.

Good, but the waiting times are very very long in A&E. All the staff were good but I waited 6-8 hours. It was very very long.
