My child was having a very sick tummy, painful, dizzy, heart raised, rashes appears etc came to Box Hill Hospital, have been told to wait for 4 hours. After 2 hours, my child was complaining about being very sick, nausea, I went to the nurse who said, nothing much they can do but wait for 6 hours. Then I've been told not many doctors, there are 25 people which is a very long queue that night they said. It was now early hours of the morning, we were still waiting to be looked after, but no one came. It is very cold here, no water serving and it doesn't feel like a safe or care place for patience at all in my opinion. Assume they have no doctor at all! Some people left... some old people wait and wait from 11pm to the morning still waiting... I think it's ridiculous.
Why don't they advise them to go home and rest then come back in the morning or a doctor could simply go around patient to patient and check who needed first etc. Can't believe we all have to sit here through the night wait for no answer but wait! We would have just come back after a good rest at least, why keep everyone here waiting for no consideration nor duty of care. So tired, so sleepy, so sick, so painful so inhuman in my opinion, to keep us suffering here!
