Pinderfields A & E

"Avoid avoid avoid. Rude staff, 3 times doctors calling for patients who are already with a doctor Lost paperwork, in with gp rather than a&e. 11 hour wait, people sleeping on floor"

"Atrocious from start to finish. Next to no communication or continuity between staff. Moved to a cubicle with 4 other patients where staff came and discussed their conditions with absolutely NO confidentiality at all. Had to chase up x-ray and blood results after waiting over 8 hours. Given medication without any information what they are for or their side-effects, which were unpleasant. Appreciate that it's a busy A&E but needs some serious management restructuring. Really glad this isn't my regular A&E/hospital!!"

"I went to pinderfields AE with breathing difficulties and shortness of breath and I could not breath when lying down. several times the doctor Asked the same question, I went to bed at night and could not breath. So the doctor ask me to do 30 squats halfway through the squats I had a heart attack and now the hospital is refusing to take my complaint seriously or even at all."

"I went to a&e in for a scan because of severe abdominal pain, waited hours, the doctors don’t even talk to each other. Nearly got overdosed for this reason. Didn’t get my scan after hours of being poked and prodded and received meds I had an allergic reaction- I found out this medicine after, has stuff in it they know me to be allergic to. I complained and got given meds that will make me worse cause I’m allergic to them too and got sent home- ended up back in a&e a couple of hours later with extreme side effects, making my abdominal pain worse. All cause of their fault and had to wait again with the terrible side effects. Found out I got an infection from them to top it off. Absolutely disgusting. I ended up worse off and not getting fixed for the original problem. Do not go here!"

"Hurt my foot and heard it pop..had rude nurse talk down to me and patronising, telling me that having an xray was like having radio therapy..my replie to her was iv have had radio therapy! She made out that I was waisting her time but not in so many words and my replie was I wouldn't have come if I'd not heard my foot pop. I get there is plenty of people that do go to a&e for nothing and they are very stretched but there is no need to treat people in this way..wounder if she was like this with the lady that was behind me with the symptoms of a migraine!!! Wounder how she would feel if it was the other way round..always treat people how u would like people to treat you."
