On nurses visit this morning ambulance was called , apparently a tipping point was reached , on arrival by taxi to hospital A&E sign says "6hr wait" , brilliant , just waiting for triage before the long wait to see doctor .
Dizzynes still awful , vomited , fell twice but im in the best place for now . Copd nurses think i might have pnuemonia . Xray and blood tests to come .
Dear me Dave, hoping you’ll be ok and please let us know how you are if you can.
Thinking of you.
Love Carole xxxx❤️😘
Try to carole x.
What a difficult situation but you are in the best place. Let us know how things develop.
All the best
Kate xx
Thanks K46 xx will do
Hope that you don't have to wait too much longer and get the treatment you need. Best wishes.
Thanks
Sorry to hear you're in A&E soulboy. It's certainly no fun in my experience but I hope you get the attention and treatment you need. Chin up and let us know how things are going. Thinking of you xx
Thanks xx
Sorry to hear you're unwell, hopefully you will be seen quicker than the estimated wait time. Hope all goes well 🤞🌹
Thanks CM
Luck be with you, Soulboy 118.
Hope you get seen quicker than 6hr wait. Did the nurses give you a letter/note that they sending you? Sometimes that means you get seen quicker…..
Nope got nothing from on call gp's , guess its just sit and wait , ambulance was calked by copd nurses but long delay so they booked me in with on call doc , oncall doc sent me A&e which is where im languishing now
Stupid no joined up thinking! Should have had a referral there. Oh well hope you took a book and something to drink, and wait isn’t as long as forecast.
Drinks are plentyful and i have a book downloaded on my phone thanks
When I dragged myself into a and e back in 2017 when i had blood clots in my lungs the triage nurse saw me quite quickly and was nice and i was there from 8am and finally got a bed on the respiratory ward at 11pm.
I had blood tests and an arterial blood gas test and an ecg and a ct scan before i got told by the doctors that i had blood clots in my lungs an
Looking like i might be having similar times to deal with or at least it feels like it
Wow.... and that was in 2017 ??? Unbelievable. I hope you are ok and no aftereffects.
No 2021 with covid but thankfully no clots then or now
Sorry you've been so ill. I hope they sort you out soon. Best wishes, Chris xxx
Thanks chris but still waiting x
😬😬😬😠😡 I'm speechless. Totally unacceptable.
How are you doing now? Are you any nearer to being seen soulboy?
Nope but there seems to be no one who came in after me now in the asiting room
🤞 that they see you soon. It's terrible. Last time I was in A&E I was there for 12 hours. That was last January but at least I got a CT scan and a proper diagnosis. A&E was like Fred Karnos Circus without the laughing. X
Beginning to feel like they are ignoring me , lots of people goung to doctors who came in aftercme
Think it's time to start complaining SB. Have you been triaged by a nurse yet?
Phew , all done now , bloods come back , doc gave me a good going over ( not gangsster style lol ) its an inner ear problem and an infection not pneumonia , got meds and finially after 10 and half hours im home , thanks for the concern x
Thank God for that sb. The inner ear thing would account for the dizziness. Get a good night's sleep and let the meds do their job. Night night and hope you feel a bit better by tomorrow xx
Thanks linda x
Thank goodness.
So pleased you’re home Dave. Take it easy and get well soon. 😗 💕
that’s a relief x
I was fast tracked in A&E once when they thought I might be having a heart attack. I wasn't, as it happened, but I felt rather a fraud.
Omg Soulboy I really feel for you and hope you dont have pneumonia, you really dont need to be poorly now. The last time I took my Mum to A & E before she passed, i explained to the reception how poorly my Mum was and that I wouldnt be waiting around long and she was so nice and put my Mum in a side room so that she would be more comfortable. It sometimes helps to explain your situation and you never know there maybe a kind soul that will help you. I really hope you dont have much longer to wait and you get home soon x
Thankfully not pneumonia , just a olain old infrctiin and inner ear problem , got meds so fingers crossed but cant drive for 5 days on docs advice
So glad you have been sorted out, the ear infection would explain the dizziness. I hope you feel better soon, rest up and take care x
Thank you x
so sorry to hear things are going so bad for you, I’ve had pneumonia a couple of times it’s not pleasant and takes time to get over, but you are in the very best place. I do hope you get to see a Dr soon and they start treatment for you. X
Thankfully p bloods come back with no pneumonia but plain old infecrion and dizzyness is inner ear problem , meds will sort it in a few days
pleased to hear the Drs got round to you and your clear for pneumonia 👍hope the meds clear up you ear infection soon . Peg
Thanks peg

Oh no Dave. Six hours is way too long. I hope they have given you somewhere to lie down at least. Do keep us posted. This must be very tiring. xx 😟

Thanks for the concern C. X
VERY pleased it is not pneumonia Dave. You deserve a very good sleep now. Good night my friend. xx 🌟
Night C. X😴
I passed out from being dehydrated when I had pneumonia. They'll take good care of you hopefully. Why such a long wait??? Get well.......
Not a good experience passing out siram and the long wait was just humN traffic , it got veey busy ,
Are you settled in now?
Yes thanks, back home had a reasonable nights sleep ( which is good for me) just taking my time with this dizziness, im hoping the meds will help silve this .
Hope you are ok ?
I am now, took me 7 month to get over that viral pneumonia. Hey drink a lot of water and electrolytes. What was the diagnosis?
The dizzyness was vertigo , got meds and some excercises to help and chest infection also got meds , hopefully ill be on the mend in a few days but the nausea is still present which im told should disapate with the meds
Thank you x
Thinking of you hope you were seen promptly and feel better soon

Best wishes for a good recovery even if somewhat slow response at A&E. Not nice when your sitting there feeling really ill. and you are putting other peoples health at risk if your illness is contagious as we used to say in the old days. Take care and hopefully you are now being treated .
All sorted katie thanks
Good to hear , stay as well as can be .
I’ve only just seen this , sorry you had that awful wait but glad to hear you’re all sorted and home now 😊

I hope you are okay.
Yes im feeling slightly better , not as dizzy or nauseous and headaches are recieding kk23, hope your ok
I’m not too bad thank you.
6 HOURS WAIT!!!!! THATS A DISGRACE!!! When I was rushed in with my hospital even though I was expressed from reception to first part of triage while I was in resuss getting my oxygen levels back up I waited 3 hours just for a "room" to be put in for the night -well I say night - I was still in the triage for 4 days in this room before I was sent up to transisitional ward
Sorry to hear your so poorly my thoughts & prayers are with you .Yes -same request from sassy please keep us posted on how you are & your progress if youre able to
Im home now hg , meds seem to be helping so far anc 8ve goy rxcercises to help with the vertigo
Hope the meds do help.gd that yr improving.do rest up until yr over this xx
Thanks pat will do x
Hoping that you are feeling better. Nothing worse than dizziness. I have ongoing ear infections but feel Amoxicillin are not abating the infection. Which meds did A&E give you?
