The thing about these long waits and poor care in the A&E departments means that lots of people will avoid seeking help for serious health issues…this has to result in premature deaths for some.
The other thing is that there can be no confidentiality, no real dignity and care must be sketchy…in fact it cannot really be seen as care.

I have had a couple of really scary experiences. My husband has serious heart issues and on two occasions if I had not administered his vital medicines then he would not have received them…on one occasion I had to take myself up to the hospital to give him his meds…now how is that safe or ‘care’?
