Hi, my parent last weekend presented to the emergency department at Northam Hospital. During this presentation, I believe my parent was made to feel like they were wasting their time and told they were ready for the glue factory.
My parent does have comorbidities that can be life-threatening but the attitude of time-wasting makes them feel that they shouldn’t go to the ED. I understand the emergency services are used by many as a free GP practice, but their presentation was of cardiac origin. Northam is a small country town and attitudes do matter. I feel if it was their parent would the same attitude apply?
"Poor attitude"
