To think A&E waiting times are the worst they've ever been?

[CreatingHavoc]

I'm currently sat in A&E having had an ecg and bloods due to various symptoms including palpitations and pain in my back when I breathe in. There's just been an announcement over the tannoy that waiting time is at least 7 hours. I could cry.

It's horrendous, I get petrified that my child will need to go to a&e for the wait times alone.
I suppose it's pushing everyone into the same line of thinking, what would I pay to jump the queue.

I ended up being moved to a different department in the end as they (thankfully) decided I wasn't ill enough for A&E. Was in there for 4 hours in total but I imagine had there actually been anything obviously wrong I'd have been there a lot longer. In the end I'm just glad everything came back normal. Back to the gp on Fri to determine what the hell is going on.
