No cleaning of seats as people moved
The NHS system for AF is a paupers queue for available healthcare. Queues are so vast that best option procedures become ineffectual by the time the patient deteriorates in the months awaiting their turn to receive relevant consideration. No care plan accommodates such delays. Professionals procrastinate repeatedly due knowing this endemic feature governs available options & patients are left to fight for themselves, acquiring necessary expertise & information by chance; about their own condition even as it worsens on the slippery slope of delayed feedback & how much poorer their health is becoming due the systemic delays. It feels like a game of one-upmanship with your own life. You will be told an expert is your next step contact, totally unaware this is a 9 month waiting list. Instead of timely treatment, you thereby flounder for months in worsening health with no idea how to self monitor or what to do with yourself. Clear , precise and comprehensive information that consultants know to be facts are not shared soon enough, in ways that help a patient know their status, self help strategies & to know what solutions are possible or that are not possible as a daily reality. This is very bad.
I received very good care and the staff were lovely and very compassionate
A&E. at Grimsby quick consultation but long wait for ambulance to Scunthorpe where consultation also quick. Long wait for tests and transport home. Ambulance crew brilliant.

As a nurse myself I hoped I would be attended to in a timely professional manner. Instead I waited several hours for pain relief & discharged with a diagnosis of trapped wind & sent home 6 hours later. 4 hours after getting home the pain had worsened & I returned to A&E where I was eventually diagnosed with a bowel obstruction & rushed to theatre for emergency surgery. I thank god I returned to A&E despite my initial very disappointing visit, as the outcome could have been so much worse if I hadn’t.
I arrived in great pain (dental)and left almost pain free the staff where very caring and understanding can't thank them enough
Everyone was fabulous and looked after me, my partner and baby very well.
I went on 111.nhs.uk and it told me to book an arrival time and gave me a reference number it also said I could bring one person.
The receptionist said oh that's no good (reference number) and that I wasn't allowed anyone. I explained I wasn't able to walk due to an operation.
Anyway I was seen by triage in just over an hour which was reasonable since it was Saturday.
Approximately an hour later I was called through to be seen. The Dr wasn't educated on my operation and went to call orthopaedics to ask them. Next another Dr turned up explained he'd worked with a foot specialist and that everything appeared "normal ". I was sent home. However my back slab was still causing my toes to tingle on occasion and my back slab is still tight around my heel and it still feels like it's catching on my stitches.
