Waiting time
Staff skills
Treatment
I had surgery last week and it was all stapled up. It started to ooze pus so I thought it was infected. Waited more than 5 hours to be admitted and have someone take a look at it... just look at it?! I believe it takes less than a minute to decide something for my infected wound. Why isn't there a designated doctor roaming in ED just to look at simple cases? I feel the triage staff are clueless and not trained in my opinion. What happened to the 4 hour rule? Surely I believe, you do not achieve 90% target to this rule.
