I was referred to Tom Price ED after seeing the site nurse. When I arrived, I found they would not let me into the waiting area until my referral had been faxed through so I waited outside in the 38 degree heat.
I then had to call my onsite nurse who spoke to the administrator over the intercom to tell them the referral was coming and I was let into the waiting area.
I than sat in the waiting area and I recall a clinician came over and asked was it a workplace injury and asked me to fill in some paperwork.
I believe I was left for 3 hours and my HSE advisor, who brought me to ED, had to ask when I would be seen.
I recall I was not examined nor given any pain medication and just left in the waiting area in agony.
Extremely disappointed with what seemed to me as a lack of care from the staff.
