Very Painful grew bigger as time went on.
Arrived at emergency department 11.30 pm.
As pain got worse it looked bad. At booking in, nurse gave two panadol took obbs. We sat down after 2 hours nurse came and looked at it put some bacteria solution on and bandage.
They waited another 2 hours another nurse came looked at it. Then we asked how long after 3 hours waiting. We asked again as the ECU was virtually empty staff were standing around talking they told us they will be next so we stayed then doctor called someone who just walked in.
So at 4.5 hours we walked out not treated
Understandably serious patient first but we were are not doctors they could have told us to go home if it didn't need to be seen by a doctor
Seeing a doctor for the seriousness of the burn. Disappointed it was seemingly ignored a burn is serious.
"Burn to the leg that spread in hours a few hours"
