Re: Health chiefs rubber stamp Ealing A&E closure
If you go into West Middlesex today, there are TWO queues, One to check into the A &E, you are then past to another queue and see a Sister/Charge Nurse.
She then decides if it can be treated by a GP,makes the appointment for you and that is it. For the first time ever at this hospital, The waiting room was empty as the sister was sending everyone home. I asked her why this is was, and was told it was new guidelines set by the government.
I was in terrible pain in my neck and right arm, and told to take painkillers, and that was it.
My GP gave me Algesal cream, which is a waste of time and the GP told me that herself, IF it gets worse, she will send me for Physio when it gets worse as it will cost her money, to send me.
This not a rant, I was also told that guidelines are also saying that it will now get much tougher, and you may have to pay private for treatment as Gps are no longer going to pay for this treatment in there budgets.
And the surgery told me that.
